this works in FF and outputs 600 like expected and it doesn't work in IE, instead it outputs 0??? why is this handled differently in different browsers?
I want to call AS function from JS.
I have the following ActionScript 3 code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
But obj has no method PlaySound() (obj is not null).
I'm trying to create a flash file (using no GUI) that uses the ExternalInterface class. But it just plain dies as soon as I call ExternalInterface.call().
I'm using SWF Tool's as3compile program to export this, and even with the -v flag up, it gives no warnings or errors. Here's the whole file:
ActionScript Code:
// action.as
package

I was wondering why my current code for calling a setInterval on a function doesn't work inside my class.I have this code inside one function, calling a second function.
intID = setInterval(selfReferential, dupe, 30, 0x000000);
The selfReferential keyword refers to the current class,but was defined previously (selfReferential = this; ).I get no errors, but the dupe() function is never called.and I had the selfReferential variable replaced with the this keyword at one point as well.
I copied my actions from frame 3 to frame 4 and frame 4's class doesn't work when frame 3's class works fine and normal, here is the source code:
Frame 3:
stop();
var rowNum:int = 10;
for (var i:int=0; i<rowNum; i++)[code]....
So, I'm using this Path Class to make a path and then draw it. I'm having a problem where there are some positions that I draw the path, the entire line does not draw.You can see an example of this here as the dot moves. The line flashes at a few coordinates. Just a small concept example I made. The path is there, it's just not being drawn.
The code :
Code:
import com.senocular.drawing.Path;
// create a path instance that draws in _root
var myPath:Path = new Path();
[code].....
Runtime error at the line : var mcp: MovieClipPlus =
MovieClipPlus(mc);
It doesnt work.. how can I let mcp inherit the mc?
OK, I have my custom class defined in a file called "rootInstace.as". This is what it contains:

I created a class for showing a Alert Message Window, everything is working OK while I executed it from Flash, but when I published it I can't see nothing... I tryed in differents browsers, I tryed from localhost, uploading to an internet server, creating crossdomain.xml file in the root server, turning to "Access network only" the Flash Publish preferences... and nothing yet.
Here the class
Code:
package com.nuedi.ui
{
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
[Code].....
bit of an odd problem, I have the following piece of code
Code:
var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("mySavedData","/")
if(myCookie.data.mySavedText != undefined)
{
var gallerypath:String = myCookie.data.mySavedText;
}
which retrieves a shared data.
If I put this actionscript on the first frame of a new document, it works fine, however I want to use it in something I already have, which uses an external Document class.

I'm making a class that manages all of my updates with a single ENTER_FRAME. I think I should be getting the OnUpdate trace but it doesn't seem to work?[code]
View 2 RepliesFor some reason, in the past few days, the auto complete feature doesn't work well when I'm creating a new class file. I'm trying to write a new class which uses away3D, and even though the auto-complete works well when I start a new AS3 file, it just doesn't work as far as away3D is concerned when I try to create a new AS3 Class file. Other features of the auto-complete don't work as well, for some reason.
View 1 RepliesI just had this conversation with a colleague and I am now turning to the SO community to provide evidence based on fact, not opinion, as to which tool would be ideal to grow into in the current programming environment. Director or Flash?I am deciding if I should stick with Flash or bother learning Director 11.5. He want to know if he should stick with Director or learn Flash. No, we don't work together. Hehe..
EDIT:
I've gotten ExternalInterface to work with VB.NET, hence the need for Director in the context of its ability to do File System IO and "non-flv" video are eliminated. No if only VB could do the kinds of animation that Flash could do, I could turn towards being a "real" programmer...
I have two swf files: swf_sender and swf_receiver. The swf_sender controls the swf_receiver via java script.Everything works fine in IE however, the swf_receiver doesn't receive communication from java script if openned by Safari or Firefox.The first part of communication: swf_sender - Java works ok (I tested it with alert() in Java) in all browsers.Here is my Java interface code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function getFlashMovie(movieName) {

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.addCallback to allow js to call an as3 method. My code is as follows:
AS:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToActionscript", callFromJavaScript);
function callFromJavaScript():void{
circle_mc.gotoAndStop("finish"); [code]....
It's not working. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the XSPF music player (the slim version found here [URL], written in AS2) to play through a list of mp3s on a website. I need to make a javascript call each time it loads a track. I'm attempting to do this through ExternalInterface, but so far with no luck. Here's my setup: I'm writing the site on a linux machine which also houses the testing server, but editing the flash in windows. I'm testing the site on the same linux box with firefox 3.0.10. The html and actionscript are posted here[URL]). Does anyone see anything wrong with my code? why it's not working? I feel like it's something in my basic setup...
View 1 RepliesI've got this piece of code in flash:
[Code]...
This code works perfectly with Chrome, Firefox and Opera but won't do it in IE. And... I also would need to have it working on IE6 = PS: the alert works fine in all the browsers (except IE6,7,8 because of the .src attribute =_=)! So I think the problem isn't the object retriving.
I'm having some serious issues trying to get externalinterface to work in ie. I've looked around and seen that there are problems with ie when the swf is inside a form tag but my swf is not. Also I have set "allowscriptaccess" to "always" and still nothing. It works fine in FF and safari. In ie all i get is a little icon in the bottom corner that says "Error on page" and when I select that it just says something to the effect that there is a syntax error but doesn't give any helpful details at all.
View 10 RepliesI decided to try to use setInterval for myanimation, which is just a mouse trail.However, I'm trying to get teh mouse trail to be a dynamic mask.In my previous swf this was achieved by using a holder mc with the animation inside and then using this as the mask. But this time I just canpt seem to hit on the right way to get it to work. The code I am using for the mouse trail is:
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var myInt:Number;
var t:MovieClip;[code].....
in the function, but now the trail doesn't resize and the mask still doesn't work.
I'm trying to call a method inside a flash movie from js, every time the mouse leaves the "div". It works on Internet Explorer, but not in firefox. Here is the html script:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(e){
init();
}function init(){
document.getElementById('div').onmouseout = function(e) {
[Code] .....
Here is example of the problem, there is an alert for the js and the flash should be able to remove the swf (see a gray background? it works! see a image, flash didn't receive the call): [URL]. This should work with internet explorer / safari / chrome (pc/mac) only firefox seams to reject this.
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject/swfobject.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" >
swfobject.registerObject("myId", "10.0.0");
function execute(){
return a;
}

I have this which is based off of this question: [URL]. However this neither works in firefox and IE. If I embed my flash into the browser like this:
<embed src="helpdeskApp_three.swf" id="flash" quality="high" scale="exactfit" width="800" height="500" name="movie" align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="[URL]"/>
This works in Firefox but not IE. What is the proper way of embedding my flash movie so it works across all browsers?
I have a SWF file emedded withing a HTML page. Trying to do a simple operation - go to and play certain frame in SWF using javascript. I'm using ExternalInterface to do this but for the life of me can't get the two to communicate. I add all the code but when clicking on the link which calls javascript, it says my flash object is undefined?
[Code]...
Can anyone confirm that ExternalInterface works on the file: protocol, or point to some docs that say that it will not?
View 3 RepliesI have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410
I can call JS functions with ExternalInterface.call('func_name',.args). OK
But what if I would like to call a js class instance method instead?
ExternalInterface.call('obj.method_name',.args) //this seems not to work
Is there any way of doing it?
I'm having trouble getting externalInterface to work in my Document Class. I suppose it is because externalInteface.call is a static function. If I change the function it calls to static, it calls the function, but then of course that function cannot call anything else in the class.
View 6 RepliesHere's my actionscript (compiled with mxmlc, embedded into html, and the functions are called with js):
[Code]...
I have a main class which listens for an event dispatched from another class say class A. Also there are other classes say class B, class C etc.There is a controller class.Classes B, C dispatches events that gets listened by the controller and works well.But the events dispatched by the Class A doesn't get listened by the main class.What might be the problem. Detailed Explanation of the problem.There is a main mxml file.
Class files are in:
ProcessInput.as
DBController.as
ShortMemDB.as ....etc
The main mxml file gets the input from a textArea. Sends the input to the capturedInput (input:String) function using set method which is in the ProcessInput Class.Now I need to dispatch events NORMAL, COMMAND depending on the input obtained after the processing, where I'm having problems. The reason is that if the event NORMAL is dispatched a particular function inside the DBController is to be called. If COMMAND event is dispatched then I need to call another function. This idea doesn't work since the events doesn't get listened.But the events dispatched by the CSDB class when listened by the DBController works well.
Let's say Class A has the flash.events.Event imported. Now let's say Class B extends Class A. Why in the hell do i need to import flash.events.Event in Class B? It makes no sens at all to me.
View 3 RepliesI have a swf that is pretty complicated, you can interact with the page and go to different keyframes and it stops and/or starts depending on buttons, but I want to put it in a fla or something so I can put other swfs next to it and build it up and put several of them together as one.
I don't care about making it too complicated, I just want one interactive swf to go to the next compiled swf when that movie ends, but when I try importing it or loading it it just runs straight through without stopping or paying any attention to the scripting.
