there are no problems occuring when I use my CS4 to work on Flash files with Actionscript 2.0. But as soon as I switch to Actionscript 3.0, I get a load of problems. - Whenever I try to start to the script assistant following message pops up (I've translated it from German to English - so the text might not be absolutely correct).
[Code]...
Firstly, I've created with Adobe Captivate an SWF file which I have been able to reference in an aspx page and when I view the website, it runs fine (no other file is referenced to run this). Example of the below code in the aspx page I have created:
object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"width="500" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="movie" value="progressive2.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#aaaaaa" /><embed src="MY_VIDEO.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"width="500" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle"allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
My objective is this. I have a final edited FLV video file. I also have Flash Professional. What I want to do is create a single SWF file (like with the Adobe Captivate example), which will include the video and the skin for the progress bar, volume etc and then reference this in another aspx page for the website.
I want to be able to have the same 'packaged' SWF file, as in the captivate, created from this FLV video. In Flash Proffessional, I've imported the FLV into the 'stage' and added a skin through the wizard. But trying to publish or other options, I've not been able to get this single 'packaged' SWF file to run correctly in the website, via the same apsx code as above.Am I missing a trick here? I would presume it would be fairly simple as I don't want to edit the video, more I want to embedded it with a skin in the one SWF file.
I am trying to use the "simple photo album" template that comes with Flash Prof. CS5. I have it working except I want it to play by default. The actionscript that came with the template is below (in blue), but if I set var autoStart:Boolean = true; I get the following error and the controls do not work:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at nt_fla::MainTimeline/fl_startSlideShow()at nt_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
// USER CONFIG SETTINGS =====var autoStart:Boolean = false; //true, falsevar

I cant install flash builder trial on my laptop winXP prof as I get an error message after I click on setup and about a few minutes into installing. It says to restart the PC ?
THat same trial download I used to install on my PC fine?
I am trying to defeat my psychological block with dynamically loaded fonts in AS3, and I have an annoying problem. I am creating a clock with a textfield and I am loading fonts from a SWF library: the available classes/linkages are "Arial", "ArialBold", "MyriadPro", "MyriadProBold" and "Verdana".This is the line where I get the class from the SWF, and it extracts the class correctly
Code:
clock = new Clock( { fontClass: assetsLoader.getFontClass("skin", "Arial") } );

I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "home";[code].....
I 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 am using Flash CS4 with actionscript 2 to create an interacitve portfolio.I have 2 text buttons that work when I test them with "enable simple buttons." When I publish to IE these buttons won't work. I have created over 50 buttons using the same methods, they all work.
View 8 RepliesIf you set a .swf with wmode transparent mode and register the Event.RESIZE in it. It will not work correctly in Chrome and will ultimately crash the Flash Player. Of course same thing in FF, EI or any other browser works like a charm. Setting wmode to window fixes the problem but anyone knows a work around with wmode set to transparent?

I am trying to get the flash buttons for my website to work, but every time I do the getURL thing it keeps saying 'Cannot find(directory)'. The website is offline and I'm using Macromedia Flash MX 2004, I also might be able to use Flash 8 but these are the only two versions I have access to.The action script for the button is:
on(release){getURL("..********(Website directory)(sub directory)(Website page).html")}
I am making the website in Dreamweaver 8 and this is really holding me back as it's nearly finished but the buttons still don't work.

As far as I can see, the number of parameters match up. I am wondering if there is a deeper issue here with my graphics card etc as stage.displayState is behaving strangely as well, it behaves like the swf is running via the player not adl (needs MouseEvent to change to fullscreen). Although I have re-installed the latest flex sdk and AIR sdk in case something had gone wrong there.
I have a swf that loads an external XML file. It works fine on my computer but it does not work properly when it is on the web.All necessary files have been published and are in thier specified locations.
View 9 RepliesI have a completed project (AS2) that contains a lot of FLVs. I burned it onto DVD and it works great on Mac (guide.app) and PC (guide.exe).Here's the web version of the project.http:[url]....Now, months later, I have to provide the project with source files (FLA's) and some other stuff - so I got an external HD, copied the files from the working DVD onto it. Running the guide.exe off of the external (connected to WinXP SP3) works just like running it off the DVD - EXCEPT for the FLVs which simply to not appear.
http:[url]...Everything up to that step works: When I click on "guide.exe", the "splash screen" opens showing the title and 4 buttons. These buttons are to choose a language and they work.When I select a language and click its button the GUI for the language with menus appear and they work. When I click on a topic from the menu, the topic's skin appears but the video inside the skin doesn't play. Everything works but the FLVs.
Even weirder - If I use VLC Player to open an FLV directly - the FLV will play. That tells me there is some path issue but how can a path change when it's compiled into the SWF? Besides - the paths from swf to flv has not changed when I copied all the files to the external.why the FLVs will not play on the external the same way they play when on the DVD?
I have been designing a website for a client entirely on flash 8 and I am almost ready to hook it up with an actual host, right now it's just set up on yola, which is a free host so that my client can see all the changes i've made, to the design and information. But I tried to view the website on Internet Explorer and it doesn't work at all. It just shows that square circle and triangle in the top left hand corner. How can I fix this before I set it up perminatley?
View 3 RepliesI'm having a problem, where random IE's are not able to display my .swf file. All the IE's are IE8 with the latest flash pluggins and all security's are set at Medium, however some IE's get just a grey box and other's get the full flash file. What's going on? It works fine in Safari and Firefox of course, but why so much difficulty with AS3 Flash9 in IE? here is a link to the site, and it's the big image changer at the bottom of the front page.

I cannot get ALT key to work in Flash, if I want to use it in combination with other keys nor I can use it alone.For example, I have created an application which requires the usage of (ALT+F) in order to access certain thing, This does not seem to fire the key event.however if i use the same thing with (CTRL+F) or (SHIFT+F), it works fine.It is only ALT which causes the key event not to fire.

View 1 RepliesI have a (self-created) swf demo with button triggering getUrl('SampleTargetPage.html')Now I want to place the swf at our cdn at [URL] while my html page resided on [URL]More structured:

I thought it would be sufficient to provide a crossdomain.xml at cdn.example.com to allow the links work. But: it seems like the Flash plugin never queries the crossdomain.xml at all!Now, is there something which I must add in the SWF itself to make this work?
edit: do I need to use Security.loadPolicyFile?
edit: Maybe I don't need the crossdomain.xml at all because everything's under [URL]?

I know that is question isn't really technical and it might sound fairly basic but I am having a lot of trouble getting my flash work on the Web.
www.jonniegrieve.co.uk. This is my website. Right now there's only one flash element on it and that's a basic construction page animation, no ActionScript or technical things at all. I embedded it using dreamweaver into the page and it showed up okay.
Now I want to add an application that I finished recently to add to my quote/unquote portfolio. I don't know what it is I am doing wrong because nothing will show. I publish the files first in flash which generates web pages for me and they work fine on my hard drive, but moment I upload them to the internet using FileZilla, I'm lucky to see a still version of the first frame[URL]..
Can someone out there point me out to the obvious about what I might be doing wrong here because right now I'm scratching my head and have done everything that I can think of to put my flash work on the Internet but nothing so far.
i have made a php var which will include a certain webpage. the var works on a .php document, but i can't get it to work in my flash.
How can i get Php to work IN Flash?
I bought my domain before fully looking into formail, cgi & php and have a site hosted at 123-reg, I was trying to get the form to work using some php scripts/examples found on numerous site? but then found out that 123-reg only support cgi script for formmail, So i reproduced the form in Dreamweaver using formail cgi but still the script doesn't work? Or I'm missing something when configuring it?
Thinking I'd be best off moving my site to somewhere that supports php and have the form created in flash working with a php script, if so could anyone point me in the right direction when trying to do this or have any advice on how best to do this?
I have knocked up a form in flash mx, but know using cs4, its a pretty standard form with a few fields and a comments box but getting it to work and return an email with the enquiry details

In FF works great but in in IE does not work. This is very annoying beacose you have yo click outside flash everytime if you want to scroll.
