After Apple released Safari 5, it seems that even after you focus on the Flash (by clicking on it), Safari still recognizes those commands for itself. One annoying problem is than when I am editing in text field, Safari will go to the previous page upon pressing backspace. Is it possible to overcome the problem by any AS3 code?
View 1 RepliesI have a 4 frame game that moves from frame to frame depending on what the player does.On the first frame, I have an intro and a button to get to the main portion of the game, frame 2. The frame loads up and the game code runs, but until the player clicks again on the stage, the keyboard controls do not function.The code for the button is straight forward. I have a button object and the following code in the frame:
playGame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); function goodLuck(evt:MouseEvent): void { gotoAndPlay(2); removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); }
I have noticed this bug when developing my flash application on a windows platform. If typing text in to a text box in a Flash swf running in Safari 5 browser on Windows then press backspace the browser will jump to the previous page in history rather than performing the function that backspace is supposed to - here is a link to another report of this apple bug.URL...

View 1 Replies// Edit: The issue now appears to be confined to Safari for Windows.
Around the time Safari for Windows 4 came out I started hearing from users that wmode=transparent was no longer working in Safari.I have tried reducing interference by using tags as opposed to scripts to embed the Flash but with no success.An example is here: [url]... alternately embedded with script at http://hiv411.org/
All videos use wmode=transparent and are embedded via tags. All work fine in every browser I have except Safari.Code looks like so on safari.php

Why on earth doesn't Safari on Windows use cached files...
When the movie's been downloaded and cached for IE & FF, on a refresh, Safari insist on re-downloading a fresh file from the server, again & again...
If it does, where the hell in Settings can you set it so that it'll favor cached files if they exist, rather than downloading a fresh one from the server...
Is there any way to access Windows on-screen keyboard through a flash interface. Have searched and can not find any reference. Developing a kiosk with touchscreen BUT the client wants a backup (just in case!!!!!)

i have a question about the mouse down / mouse move events in Flash. I've developed a small intreractive that requires mouse co-ordinates to be captured when the mouse is down and when the mouse is moved anywhere on the screen. It was working fine like this until recently when I checked my interactive in Safari and it no longer recieves mouse co-ordinate information when the mouse cursor leaves the Flash interactive stage area.However, it still works fine in Firefox. Is there anything I can do to get this functionality back when using it in Safari?

It has been brought to my attention that Safari does not recognize the Mouse Wheel in flash...and I have found a solution...but I cannot get it to work right...I have followed the instructions word for word, and I cannot get the mouse wheel to produce anything in Safari...it works fine in FF and IE...but nothing in Safari...

View 8 RepliesThis one's been irking me for a while. When I'm using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down in a webpage, and a flash movie comes into the path of the cursor, the scroll wheel stops working. Also, when a flash movie has focus, you can't use browser shortcuts like Ctrl + L or Ctrl + R.
I'm writing a flex application now and I'd like to find a solution, so that at least my users aren't plagued by this inconsistency of the user interface behavior.
I should think there would be a way to tell flash to propagate such events as the mouse scroll wheel and keyboard input back up to the browser unless they occur in an element for which they are useful, like in a flex textarea. I can't find any solutions out there though, nor even anyone talking about it.
Specifically, how can I make it so that:
When the user is scrolling with the mouse, the browser scrolls unless the mouse is over a flex container with scrollbar, or another component that wants to scroll.When the user presses a button or combination of buttons on the keyboard, it will be propagated to the browser unless there is an active keyboard listener, or the cursor is in a text field, etc.
I am experiencing no scrolling below a certain scroll velocity on both mouse and trackpad on my Macbook in Safari 4.I have the mouse wheel events working on my mac through the javascript bridge from http:[url]..... I also have normalized the delta in my actionscript to be -2 if below 0, and +2 if above 0. Testing the delta on the javascript side, the mouse wheel at the slowest I can scroll it reads well above or below 0, and the trackpad reads around .025 to -.025... so I'm wondering why is it that Safari doesn't see this until higher speeds?Scrolling works, I just have to give the wheel some speed before it kicks in. It works perfectly in Firefox.
View 0 Repliesi have a question to ask about asynchronous key controls This was what i did
[Code]...
and i checked with [URL]...?newspage=6249 and it looked more or less the same, so why is it that when i move my character and when i hold down a key, it just keeps on listerning to that keypress event listener, instead of just executing the other event. So say, i tap left and after which i tap right, it will work just fine, but if i hold left and tap right, the event listerner will still be listening to the left key. So, i was wondering could anyone point me in a direction as to how should i make my code stop listening to an event as soon as another event has been dispatched?
I'm completely new to AS3/Flash programming, though I program in C/C++/C# in my job. These days I got a project idea which I think Flash would better fit than the other languages I mentioned above. I want to create an on-line automation application that can:
1. Control user mouse clicks, or eventually keyboard, pressing some keys;
2. Communicate/connect to the user's bluetooth device, establishing connections to the mobile devices attached to it - the web application in this case would act as a server.
If I plan to implement 100 objects on stage to be listen to mouse and keyboard input, is using "function" call responsive enough? How good does eventlistner work?
View 2 RepliesI am developing a simple galaga clone for my site, its at [URL] . You will notice the controls work fine in firefox, opera, safari, chrome, etc. However, in IE, the controls are only triggered if the mouse cursor is hovering directly over the player ship.
The playership object is created in the main document class which passes a reference to the stage to the playership class.
private var ourShip:playerShip = new playerShip(stage, ourHUD);
Which is then added to the stage from within the document class (gameMain)
stage.addChild(ourShip);
The playership class then monitors the mouseX and reacts accordingly. The code for the ship controls which are linked to the enter_frame eventhandler is
Code:
public function controlShip(e:Event):void {
var a1 = stageRef.mouseY - e.target.y;
var b1 = stageRef.mouseX - e.target.x;
var radians1 = Math.atan2(a1,b1);

i am trying to set up a movie in as3/cs5 that works as follows:on the stage there are 3 (maybe 4) movieclips - that are divided into 6 areas.the movieclips themselves have some parallax effect on them (see attached .zip).what i am trying to do is add some script into the movie to do the follow things - first one is that when the mouse goes to the furthest edge of the browser/movie stage - the movie slides to the next/previous section of the movieclip - or rather moves the movieclips to show that section.the other thing is to add buttons to slide the mc's to the corresponding sections.so on the stage there are 4 mc's (divided into sections) if the mouse goes very far left or very far right - the mc's slide across to the next or last section/s - and if the buttons are clicked the movie will slide to a define position on the stage.does anyone know how this can be done? i've been looking for source or tuts but with no joy!

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a faux 3D rotation animation where if the user mouses to the right the object rotates right and if the user mouses to the left the object rotates left. Depending on how far they move the mouse the rotation should speed up or slow down.I spent a lot of time making an object in 3d studio max and importing the animation of rotation as JPEGs onto the timeline. I figured the most efficient way to go about this would be to make the mouse control the timeline instead of the object itself.

how to use flash, which is a daunting task. To make matters worse, my mouse will not click whenever a new window opens. For example, the dropdown windows that pop up when you click the corner of some of the tools. (like the tool to draw a rectangle or oval, etc.) Icons will highlight when I move my mouse over them, but clicking does nothing at all. I have the Adobe Post Production Suite, and it does this for all of the programs I have tried so far. For example, when recording in Soundbooth I can't click the record button or the stop button. Thus far I have been using the enter button and shortcut keys to get by, but this doesn't work all the time because some features don't have shortcuts. My laptop is a Dell Studio XPS. It's a little over a month old, and I've never had this kind of problem before. I tried running the programs while using a Wacom tablet to see if my mouse had gone bad, but nothing changed. I've searched the forums and haven't found anyone with similar problems. This really has me stumped. Another problem that I think is related: I can't change the colors of objects in flash. Whenever I open the color palette and put my mouse over a color, it shows up as gray. (All the colors show as the same shade of gray.) I've used lots of programs since I've had this computer, and never had anything like this happen. The only thing I can think of that might cause a problem is that my computer is a widescreen. This sometimes causes a problem with certain applications because the windows are too tall.
