I can no longer see my code. I've tried two different .fla files, one I made and one someone sent me, but no luck. Clicking on the first frame on the Actions layer, I either press F9 or right-click and choose actions. The properties panel changes, but the code list window does not open.
View 2 Replies1) how do you open a new window if you have thumbnail pics in the flash movie but want the full pic to open up in a new window? Is this Javascript inside flash?
2) How do they do the menu bar here at this site:[URL]
I work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.
Does anyone know what would make a movie slow down the longer it is open. Theres nothing that I can think of this is constantly running, but after about 15 minutes of the website being open it slows down almost unresponsive.
View 1 RepliesI've been using the embed tag for a while and it has been working perfectly up until now. I've got an XML file that I have embedded into my .swf, using
Code:
[Embed(source="nodes.xml", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
and haven't had any problems. However it has just decided that it no longer wants to compile anymore, giving six errors on this line and this line only:
Quote:
Line 32 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Embed.
Line 32 1120: Access of undefined property source.
Line 32 1120: Access of undefined property mimeType.
[Code].....
I had added a new function just before this error started appearing, but it had absolutely nothing to do with the embedding and the problem still happens after I comment out everything I added before the error.
When I test it in a new .fla it still works aswell, just no longer in this one.
This is in Flash CS5, ActionScript 3 by the way.
i tried looking here with the keyword 'preloader', to find answers to my problem but I didn't.I'm a freshman AS3 developer....with a portfolio site to launch asap.
I have a movieClip in my library that is exported to AS (external jpg) - it is loaded separately from anything else in my scene (which is disrupting my normal preloader animation). When I simulate the download my preloader doesn't appear in my preview window, and I have no error message either. At first, not sure what the problem was I tried various preloader tutorials online hoping to find a solution.
I only realized later on that my preloader didn't work because of my external jpg.How can I make my preloader (code below) load everything altogether? (elements in my scene + external jpg)
PRELOADER (first frame);
Code: Select allimport flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;

I have just very recently downloaded a trail version of Adobe Flash CS5 onto my laptop. The version of windows is Windows XP, and the program itself is running as well as it should.
I went to youtube to see if there were any video tutorials that could help me get started with the program. Unfortunately, right before a video will play, the browser will say there was an error, and close, and then re-try to open the page.
This problem has never happned before I installed Flash, so I can only assume it had something to do with it. Everything else on my system is running smoothly, I even checked every file and processor twice for any signs of adware that I may have picked up accidently.

i have a flash site that links to PDF's with the navigateToURL function which works etc But now i would like Link to rather open up a download window instead of just a new browser window?
View 3 RepliesVery strange thing has happened. I've had this site running fine for over a year, and recently I have discovered that the buttons that go to external URLs do not work.All of the buttons should be going to another .php file, and they have been until discovered yesterday that they do not.If you go to the .swf file directly, you will see that the navigation buttons take you to the correct .php files, but it becomes unclickable when it's in index.php.VERY strange... but then when you go back to index.php, and click the php active hyperlink "Gum Drops" at the bottom of the page, you'll get taken to the php page... and then all of a sudden the navigation, and all flash links to URLs work!

I had a forum up a few months ago, and got help getting radio buttons to work with a continue button, causing the movie to gotoAndStop at a particular frame. (This is all being done on the main timeline).Everything was working fine, now, I keep trying to do it again, but regardless of which button I click, it only goes to frame 2 where the Novice radio button is supposed to go.I think the problem is in the line of code that reads:varframeNumber=2+Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)I know it is set to only go to the novice area, but my understanding was that since these were radio buttons, any button clicked would work, and I only needed to type in one of the unique instance names
Here is the code:
stop();
continueButton.enabled=false

I like to make alias varaibles for long names, so that i don't have to keep repeating huge lines of text, but when i try to create one for a custom class, it fails.
Code:
Clients["Client"+i] = new Client();
var Client:Object = Clients["Client"+i]
Its almost as if flash is trying to make the new variable a new Project(); instead of a reference to the other variable...
In Flex Air app, how do you open a window behind an active one?
I tried following and i can't seem to get it to work
[Code]...
With this code, I would expect window1 to open behind the main app window and, in 3 seconds, window2 would open behind window1. But if you execute this, window1 will open on top of the main window and window2 will open on top of window1 and the main app will retain focus. This seems like a bug in the Flex. If so is there any workaround for this problem?
I want it so my website will open a new window with the swf in it and I don't know what the actionscript is for that.

I have created a site a while ago and the client wanted flashing navigation buttons, this I have done and I he wants another page adding so I basically opened up one of the buttons, saved it as and made the changes, how ever when I preview the new index page with the added button the link doesn't work, I have also noted that one of the buttons that was working fine no longer links, i am using the following Actionscript for the links:
LessonsButton.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.grangestudridingschool.co.uk/lessons.html","_self")

I have named the instance of the button LessonsButton and this was working, as are all the other buttons, bar the new one, I have built them in CS3 but have recently upgraded to CS4 Master collection, how ever, I have not used flash CS4 for these buttons, they have been modifed in CS3, any idea's as to where the problem may be and also why only one button has decided to stop working?

I'm sure you all have seen this effect. In a photo gallery, the user clicks a thumbnail, the screen darkens, a white box resizes to the size of the larger image and the full-size image loads...all without opening a new window. I'd like to do the same with a .swf.

View 1 RepliesI have a flash slide on my site. The slide has next and previous buttons to either move to the next slide or the previous slide. Each slide is only an image. When you click a particular image it takes you to the page specific to the image you clicked.
My issue is this: When you click the image, it opens the page in a new window. I would like to have the window open in the same window, but having issues figuring out how to do it.
The flash is controled by an image.xml script. I've added target= "_blank" to the xml, but the URLs are still opening in a seperate window. I didnt create the flash, is it possible the issues lies within the .fla file?
