View 3 Repliesi have created a flash animation for my homepage, i want to make part of that flash animation a "enter" button so when clicked would go to my page 2 on my website.
i have never done any script before and only used dreamweaver on a mac. is there an easy way to create this button to link to my next page and to stop my file to stop looping?
I'm trying to write a script that will check to see if an image or video file exists in an external directory. If the file is detected, then a new MC will be created and the file will be imported into it. If the file is not detected, then nothing will happen.

I am trying to detect whether a movie has been loaded properly via the "loadMovie" method. Another option is somehow getting a boolean value telling me whether or not a file exists in a specific folder... or whether a url exists. Basically, I want to be able to know whether or not a client has added a photo to the gallery folder on the server.
View 0 RepliesI need to support loading a file that has an ASCII version and a binary version, both with the same extension. I can see two ways of going about this, but I'm not sure which one would be better:Detect the format after the entire file is loaded, and reload it if I guessed the wrong format when I started loading it.Detect the format as it's loading, and start the load over with the proper format if I guessed wrong at first.If I load the entire file with URLLoaderDataFormat set to TEXT, and it ends up being binary, do I need to reload the entire file, or is there a simple chunk of code that can convert back and forth between BINARY and TEXT formats in ActionScript? This would be ideal, so I never have to load the file twice.
In terms of detecting whether a file is BINARY or TEXT, my method would be to read the first five characters in the file and see if it's a word that appears at the top of all ASCII files in this format. If it's not, then I assume it's BINARY.I'm a little new to working with BINARY data in flash, so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question.
I'm using Javascript to embed a flash file into a website which I then need to remove once it's completed playing.
Is there a way to do this in plain Javascript? Or will it require a callback type function to be added into the Flash file itself?
How do I code this? ._.
Javascript:
jQuery('body').append('<embed id="flashIntro" width="100%" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="' + flashIntro + '" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />');
Im currently trying to upload an external swf file trough an empty mc. But since in this case i will be changing the swf file at times, i hope i could have an actionscript that detects the end of the external swf file and then gets the command gotoAndPlay(2).

View 5 RepliesOk, this should be easy, I've done it before, but the code was in a different setup/format.
All I'm trying to do is have a text box display a link and then click on the link to go to the site.
Now, everything is working as far as display, but when I try to pass the targeted (clicked) link to navigateToURL, it is null.
Here is the partial loader code:
Code:
//format video description txt
var vidDescFont:Font = new VidDescFont();
var vdf:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
vdf.font = vidDescFont.fontName;

In my main AS, I am using a MovieClip as a Container despite of the stage. In another AS file, I want to take the Container as a reference as well as addChild (such as bullets etc) to it, but I really don't know how to write the code.
If I only addChild in the current (sub)AS, it's working, but it's just a problem to removeChild.
