I'm sorry if this is the oldest flash question in the book, but I created an intro in AS3 and I don't know how to get the movie to automatically go to home page after it plays through. I added a skip button and have that part working, but I don't get the other part.

View 9 RepliesI have a movie clip that I imported into flash, used a skin and have a nice little player for this website intro. I want to proceed to the sites home page upon completion of the movie. Searched but the best I could come up with was;
player.addEventListener("complete",function (event:Object) { trace("doneVideo");new URLRequest("my link");});
If I have an FLV that I've output as SWF with skin to have embedded into an HTML page, and now a 'skip intro' is needed - though I'd have to make note of the actual time or keyframe in which the intro completes...How is this possible? Clearly, a button would need to be added for that kind of interactivity?
View 3 Repliesbeen looking around for a while for this, searched for it here at as.org, scanning every article and archive I could find from the last 10 years. It just seems like how to do it right is not currently out there. Assuming coding has improved, and all of us are much smarter and more experienced than we were last decade, I bring it up once more.

View 1 Repliesi downloaded a free of use gallery from (this gallery) and i'm trying to load it in my flash site .. now, the gallery works if i open it directly (i open the swf file)when i try to load the external swf file into my siteloadMovie("image_gallery.swf", box);then the movie loads .. the gallery is displayed the message "loading xml file" displays and then when the xml is loaded the message "loading image 1/7" displays and only the first image loads.
once the first image is loaded it will not be displayed (it remains outside of my swf file .. i can see it when i resize the window) and no other images will be loaded.if i open the gallery.sfw file again everything works fine .. the problem is only if i try to load the gallery.swf in another swf ..something must be wrong ..i tryed to opern the gallery.fla file and copt everything directly in my site and the problem remains the same .. only 1 image loaded and not displayed in the gallery
We are revising our company website and I wondered if it considered bad practise to use flash on the home page.This would cause issues for those users who dont have flash installed (and maybe dont want flash)
View 3 Repliesrecently i needed to share data between different flash .swfs on a homepage.. so i tried to use Shared Objects to do so..
sofar its fine.. i tried it .. and as long as the data is stored on my harddisk.. the sharedObject "cookies" work fine.. but when i put the site online.. they simply dont work anymore..
could this have something to do with security settings of the browser used?. doesnt a web browser allow flash to access the harddisk to read and write shared objects..
is there another.. simpler and more reliable way to send data from one .swf file to another..?? (without using php -> my webserver doesnt support this sofar )

Hi everyone. I am webmaster at www.mnfishing.org. I know nothing about flash at all. I really would like to get into it. Anyway, I am looking to add a "flash slider" or slideshow to my homepage.
I would put 5 or 6 featured news articles, etc on it.
I have this world map (.swf file) that I want on my home page(black background). It's up and working fine, but it flashes a white blank map for about 2 seconds when it first loads and then it goes away. It looks very ugly on a black background and gives off a sense of "cheapness". Anyway, it has got to go. I purchased the world map and they don't offer access to the original .fla file. So basically I want to know how to cover up the first few seconds of the video with black and then have the black cover disappear and let the flash file do its thing.

View 3 RepliesI've created a flash intro for a website and I have it setup so that in the first frame of the intro it opens a popup window, and then in the last frame it opens the actual site in the same window as the intro. Right now when it hits the last frame it opens up the popup window again also! Ack! The code I've used for opening the popup window is:var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("player.html"); navigateToURL(url, "_blank");
the code used in the last frame to move to the site is:var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest('index2.html');navigateToURL(urlReq,'_self');
I'm guessing that it has something to do with re-using the same variable name. I tried changing the code in different ways on the second window opening but still had the same result, or broke it opening up any pages at all. I've also tried moving the two code snippets to different layers. I'm thinking there might be a few ways around this too such as if there is a way to trigger the popup window, and then have the intro wait x seconds and then opens the main site or something, but I have no clue how to go about doing any of this. have the site in question in a temp location currently and it can be viewed here: [Url]
Anybody can tell me how to do this? after the intro in flashcs4 go directly to a website. I made an intro in flash and after the end of the clip need go to a html doc. I've to use ActionScript right?

View 1 RepliesI was asked to edit a completed website. I was given the .swf file. I decompiled it using SoThink and converted it to a flash file. When I opened it in Adobe Flash CS4, only the intro portion is viewable in the timeline.
When I test the movie the entire website plays out with no problems. But the timeline only shows the intro/home page. I need to edit other content in the scene.
I just recorded some song and cut it into two parts. The first part contains an intro and the second is supposed to loop. What I want to do now, is to have a simple graphical animation (5 keyframes or so) that loops as well, while the music plays along.
View 1 Repliesi have imported a movie that i created in After Effects and exported as an FLV. I imported this into flash as an embedded FLV file. When i go to the last frame and enter the scipt.......
stop();
getURL("http://www.randolphmusic.net/main.html", "_self");
it tries to go to the url before i play the movie.
If i try to make a keyframe there i get a message and it cuts the end of the video at the point and starts it over a second clip in that same timeline. I have tried creating a tween from it then putting in the script, i have also tried this with a classic tween.
I am trying to do something I thought would be very simple. It has turned into a much more difficult exercise. I simply want to use this flash movie at Code:[URL] as an index page of site. When the movie has ran, I want to pause for 3 or 4 seconds and then go to the next page of web site (in other words, go to a specific URL).
View 2 RepliesI have a corporate flash-file which is pretty advanced, much more so than I could have developed myself. The company want this flash to have an intro screen before the actual content starts with a button choosing what of two parts to load. [code]I've tried with adding a frame before the actual content, adding an extra scene and loading the swf from another one. Nothing have worked so far and I am running out of ideas. The .fla-file only really consists of a background, some shadows since the actionscripts, images and other resources are external.
View 1 RepliesI just built a carousel using Actionscript 2.0 in CS4 via an awesome tutorial on this site. I've added this carousel to an existing site and works beautifully on the home page but the problem is, when I click on a button to go to a new page, the carousel appears there as well obstructing the page content. Also, when I click back to home the carousel multiplies. My question is, how do I get the carousel to appear on the homepage ONLY and not multiply each time I click back to the home page? I'm a new Flash user.
