ActionScript 3.0 :: Do Any Events Fire When The Flash Player Exits

Dec 5, 2011

I use a LocalConnection object to prevent being able to run our SWF multiple times on the same computer. The problem is that this connection can remain in place even when the SWF which called it closes. 
 
I have:
 
1) An External Interface call to dispose() all HTML pages call dispose() on pageunload which closes the connection.... But this is unreliable because if the browser crashes, you are locked out of the SWF

2) I tried some crazy try/catch.  If SWF A exists and SWF B tries to be initialised.... SWFB cannot connect so it sends a function to SWFA to dispose(). This should free the connection for SWFB to connect to?  But this does not work well either because sometimes a localconnection can be in use but calling "dipose()" throws an error, often because the LocalConnection swf which should be available is already gone.
  
What this all comes down to, is that I need a way to detect when the player closes, so i can close the localconnection.
  
stage.addEventListener(Event.EXIT, onExit);
function onExit(e:Event): void
{
if (localconnection)

[code]....

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Failing To Fire Any Events On URLLoader Sometimes?

Aug 10, 2010

I have an instance of URLLoader that works perfectly on my machine and a number of other machines, but in a few rare cases, regardless of the browser or the flash player version, URLLoader never comes back with any of my callbacks and so the load() method is fired off into the stratosphere and nothing happens beyond that.Curious if anyone else has encountered this and if so how they got around it.[EDIT]Ok... never mind on the "no callbacks are fired". In fact it is firing the SecurityError.SECURITY_ERROR. However, I'm at a total loss as to why it would only fire this on some machines and not on others. Does it have something to do with the user's admin privileges or the browser's security settings? The error is 2170, phaseTwo (whatever that means)

Java :: How To Fire Intent To Start FLV Or SWF To Flash Player 10.1

Dec 21, 2010

I have a bunch of flv video files stored on a media server, and I am trying to get them to launch in the flash player. I have downloaded the flv file into temporary storage, and try passing it using an intent. This is what my code looks like (from what I have seen on the net):

// Serve the file
InputStream in = urlLink.openStream();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/tempFlash.flv");
byte[] buf = new byte[4 * 1024]; // 4K buffer

ActionScript 3.0 :: Not All Mouse Events Fire?

Sep 19, 2011

I am making a custom scrolling list (smart phone like) in actionscript 3 and have the parent contianer catch mouseEvents for MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_ DOWN.Sometimes the mouse up event is missed, maybe one in 20. Does this happen if the events fire to rapidly? I do not want to use the MOUSE_ CLICK event beacuse if the mouse pointer moved at all I want the list to scroll and not catch a Click event.[code]Can I somehow ensure that all events are fired?Or if not can I somehow get mouse button states directly from flash? Not via the mouse event object, but in onEnterFrame().

ActionScript 3 :: Empty Space Of Canvas Does Not Fire Events In Flex

Dec 6, 2011

The empty space of a canvas does not fire events. My problem is I have a canvas in an application that shows a diagram consisting of different figures, but the canvas empty places do not trigger the events that I need, as the rollover. How I can make my canvas trigger events even in the empty spaces? I have set the background Color, mouseEnabled, color, border, alpha, opaqueBackground, etc, and nothing works. I'm using Flex 4, and I have to use only a mx:Canvas.

Here is the event listener registration:
canDiagram.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function(event:MouseEvent):void{if(actualCursor != null){CursorManager.setCursor(actualCursor,2,-10,-10);}},true);
canDiagram.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function(event:MouseEvent):void{CursorManager.removeAllCursors();},true);

Flex :: Events - MouseEvent Doesn't Fire When Mouse Stays Over Element

Apr 23, 2010

i'm trying to make a scrollable box, when a mouse enters and STAYS on "wrapper"'s area, "pubsBox" moves 10 pixels to the left.

<mx:Canvas id="wrapper" height="80" width="750">
<mx:HBox id="pubsBox" horizontalGap="10" height="80" width="100%" />
</mx:Canvas>

My problem is that I'm not sure how to make the MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER work, to recognize that the mouse is still ON the area and so pubsBox should continue to move 10 pixels to the left every second. I understand that i have to use a Timer, but what I'm concerned about is the fact that I can't get Flex to recognize that the mouse is still OVER "wrapper" and continue firing the event.

Actionscript 3 :: No Hand Cursor Or Mouse Events On Sprites In Flash Player 10?

Jan 11, 2012

My movie targets flash player 10, and I compile it with FlexSDK v 4.51. It compiles and plays with no errors. But if I view the swf in Flash Player 10, some sprites that are set to buttonmode do not show a hand cursor or dispatch MouseEvents. In fact, if I play it in the Flash Player 10 debug player, I get an error:

"VerifyError: Error #1053: Illegal override of z in mx.core.BitmapAsset."

So to fix this, I can switch to using an older SDK, version 4.1. Now the error message is gone, but the mouseover problem persists - now for Flash Player version 10 and 11.

There are no flash 11 specific features used. It should be targetable using flash player 10.

I have determined that the mouse event and the override error are not related. The mouse event error seems to being caused by using filters. and I have found a workaround, by applying the filter to a child object, instead of the parent.

The error thrown above, is getting caused by an embedded bitmap. And it seems like a fix to that is to use flex SDK 4.1. Any reason not to just use the 4.1 SDK? Any way to make 4.5 sdk compatible with Flash player 10?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Fullscreen Flickers/Exits Immediately?

Aug 24, 2009

I have a curious problem with fullscreen mode in a [beta] game I designed and coded. When I launch the SWF, it works perfectly. Once I embed it in html however, it only flickers into fullscreen for a second and then back out again. It doesn't seem to be a browser issue as it happens in both Firefox and IE7 on my Vista machine.

The game is here:

Fullscreen is toggled by hitting the "F" key.how to get it to stop flickering?

ActionScript 1/2 :: User Enters And Exits One Movieclip Button Changes Color?

Jun 11, 2009

I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site.  There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play.  I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
 
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline.  I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color.  It seems to easy but I can't figure it out,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard Events Do Not Work In Player Or Projector

Jan 8, 2009

I need to trap keyboard events. My code works OK in test mode (ctrl + enter), but not when I run the swf or projector directly on the desktop. My project is going on CD, not in a browser, and the only thing on the stage is an instance of the FLVplayback component. And while I'm at it....does anyone know the code to simulate clicking the windows Restore button? That's what the keypress is for. My client doesn't want the video running in real full-screen; they want their users to click the Maximize button, so they'll see the title bar, then press Esc to restore the window, again.

ActionScript 3.0 :: OOP Concept - Including Exits = New Array - Structure Level Class?

May 20, 2009

I'm dabbling in OOP, but I'm nowhere near proficient yet. I have two classes, house() and town(). In house's constructor, I want to define an exit from the house to town. I've set up a Doors and Exits array in the base class, and in house, I add town to it:

Doors = new Array(new trigger());
Exits = new Array(new town());

This way, I can check if the player is colliding with the trigger, and if so, I can set level to Exits[i] or wherever it is. My problem is, including Exits = new Array(new town()); in house's constructor calls town's constructor, and town has an array Exits, which leads back to house and so on. So my question is: How would I get around this problem or structure my level class? Is it possible to use "town" to get to new town(); without manually checking if("town"){ new town(); } etc. Basically, I want to tell flash to create a new town() WHEN I need it, not necessarily during the initial construction, but I don't want to have to manually call "new town();"

Flex :: Allowing Mouse Events To Bubble Reliably Through The Youtube Chromeless Player?

Mar 30, 2011

I'm working on a prototype that would require me being able to read and track the mouse movement over a playing youtube video. The basic code to replicate my problem boils down to this simple test case:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"

[Code]....

Expected behavior is:

Youtube player loads The label on the top right tracks the X coordinate of the mouse The number should update even when moving the mouse over the Youtube player

So far the program behaves as expected when running from the IDE (tested on both FlashDevelop and FlashBuilder) and even when running the file manually from the output folder. But, alas, when I try to run it from anywhere else than the debug folder (be it another location on my computer or up on a webserver), the Youtube player seems to eat the events.

I don't get sandbox security warnings when debugging (thanks to allowDomain("*")) but I'm running out of ideas on why the program fails once you take the file out of the debug folder.
