I want my site to refresh every time I open it. I've been looking at the unique identifier script, but I can't seem to understand where it goes. Is it in the HTML with the SWF or in the SWF itself?When you load a movie, variables, or a text, what you load is put in the cache of your computer by your browser. This can cause problems because if you load files, chances are that you are going to update them quite often, but Flash will look for the files in the cache, that is to say the old ones.The solution is to load your files with a unique identifier. Example:
[URL]. Our client communicates with a Rails backend to get login details and then logs into an Adobe LCCS server. We have been cruising right along but around noon yesterday we developed a bug that causes the swf to not render until you refresh the page. On subsequent refreshes it pops up right away. The problem happened even when I disabled the code that checks in with the Rails server. How could refreshing make a difference?
I've been trying to get this preloader working for days! I finally got it working, and now when i upload it to my site and refresh the page, the .swf file is stuck at the preloader screen.
[Code]...
I've been reading up on it for a while now, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I had an issue with my index.html testing on IE and the preloader just stalls on "loading 0%". he told me that locally the progress event doesn't have time to load and to try uploading it to your server and see if it works. It worked just fine. Rah Rah Kglad.
So today I'm fine tuning the swf/ fla to clean it up. Reduced some picture sizes and deleted unused files and reduced the swf from 4000 KB to 350 KB Rah Rah Gene. replaced the swf in Dreamweaver and re-uploaded with Filezilla. Rah ah Filezilla.
Everything working great and my preload went from 23 seconds to less than 3. So I'm real happy except for one small issue. Firefox and IE both do this. If I hit the refresh button, it stalls on "loading 0%" once again just like it did locally.
If I hit the refresh several times it WILL refresh randomly....2 times refresh......10 times refresh etc.
[URL]
Spoke to my hosting company who said everything seems fine on the server. BTW he said Chrome did NOT have this issue Rah Rah Chrome.
Once in a while it doesn't load the first time through on certain machines. Because of this the client has asked me to add a button to the site much like here...
[URL]
The only problem with this is I need this button to "hide" once the site DOES load.
i have made a site in flash. stage size 955x600 i have exported it as fullscreen with no scale. the problem is that if i browse the site with a resolution of 800x600 (760x420 if i'm not wrong), the browser dont' add scrolls and its impossible to see the complete site. How can i fix this without resizing the site. i want the users to see with the proportions that i have now.. ijust want a scroll on the browser.
I was wondering if its still necessary to build a html site aswell as a Flash Site? Or is there a definitive and failsafe way to incorporate html into my flash site? SEO is a very important factor for me. I read this article: url...by Geoff Sterns in 2006, resulting in the following[code]
A client of mine has had 2 sites (both Flash sites) attacked over the last 12 months, so he's been asking: should he go for a static HTML site or stick with a Flash site? Is there ways to make a Flash site more secure?
I have some people making a site that uses PHP and mysql. You will be logging in first to the PHP site, but the Flash based component of it requires to use the same log in and password. Do they have to log in twice??????
I am developing a standalone flash application using xml. Its kind of a slide show. There are 100 slides and all the content is coming from XML. The problem is when ever i want to make a change i.e in XML- lets say 99th slide, i have to close the swf and run it again to check the changes in the 99th slide. Is there any option to load the xml everytime when i click next button.
I have a FLASH portfolio that opens up with 4 options. The 2nd option works. But if you click on the first or fourth option, instead of going to their respective scenes it goes to then 2nd options scene. Here is the kicker though - if you refresh the page Control+F5 everything works fine How come it only works after you refresh the page? here is link FLASH PORTFOLIO. Then click on personal portfolio link.
problem is the score board is shown at the beginning if requested and at the end to show your score when the game is finished. The problem I have is refreshing the scores (replacing the current text in the boxes) rather than just adding the text again into the dynamic text boxes..Here is my code :-
var tab = "game1score";// update for each game // game2score, game3score.... var filesend = "receive.php"; var modesend = "post";
//This is called when the high scores are viewed at the beginning of the game
I have a file upload tool that I created in flash (as2). The file uploads images and then writes the image details to a database. However, I seem to have a problem then when I refresh the page, the upload script keeps working.And this seems to cause some issues with writing to the database when image don't actually appear to be on the server. I have fixed the issue by doing some checking to see if the file actually exists before writing to the server, but I would like to know why this happens.
I have a Google map and I want to refresh or reload map from my code. How is it possible? I go through this link [URL] but there is nothing for refresh/reload map there.
We are moving to a new platform and have a flash banner on the home page that will be changing frequently with new promos, etc. You can find the flash banner at [URL]. I need to be able to update the swf file and have it immediately reflect on this new home page, but it only seems to be updating on the non-secure URL in Firefox and not at all in IE.
how I can prevent flash from reloading when my page is refreshed? When I user clicks the search button the whole page reloads with the data they were looking for but the flash animation at the top of the page also reloads and I would like to prevent this.
I have a Flash app that uploads an xml file using URLLoader() and URLRequest(). But this file gets overwritten every 10-30 minutes with fresh data. The only way I've found so far to view changes in the xml data is to refresh my web page (F5 or Ctrl-->F5). Short of turning to Javascript, isn't there some way for Flash to refresh its xml data?
I have a some games made in flash, some in as2 and some in as3... All are loaded using an preloader (another swf file), one for as2 games and one for as3 games... the thing is that for some time now when you load a game the flash player shows a black screen even when the game is loaded, and it stays like that until I rescale the browser window... there is some problem with the flash player refresh I think..
I have a piece of XML that goes out and grabs data. That data is being updated every so often. I want the user to be able to see the updated data by creating a way to reload it every x amount of time.
How do I use the timer to do this in Actionscript 3?
I have to stream a webcam video, so I use ustream to do that, which generate a flash embed code for me, and I have a button to turn off/on the light, but when I press the button it refresh the whole page and so the flash component.
There's some way to not refresh the page and still send to command ? Well for now it's this way:
I have a flash app which runs on my browser using Apache with PHP.This app displays items according to xml files which can be created anew or added to.When the user changes these files via php, these changes are not reflected in the app. If I close the app and re-start the changes are there.Is there some way to refresh the localhost in the program?
3. Part number is returned from server with a string of results (manfacturer, product location, number of stock, size, image)
4. Flash takes the results and places them in to their apprpriate display text fields and loads the image also.
All this works great EXCEPT when you try a second, third, fourth...time.
I trace all the responses and get new and correct results for every part number I enter, but it simply won't overwrite the previous displayed data. Nothing I try will get rid of the last results!
I've been making a game and want it so you can play again - when I try and send it back to frame 1 (it's preloader) it doesn't really work. I was wondering if there was a way of basically refreshing or reloading the whole swf file?
I am working on a prototype or proof of concept for my company to adopt Flash as an alternative rather than conventional HTML. I've created my demo XML file locally and followed instructions on a YouTube video (yeah I'm that new) and it all works as it should. The problem is this... I have been looking literrally for hours for a way to get my Flash file to update when the XML gets changed. Either on the fly or via some sort of timer/auto-refresh. I simply cannot wrap my head around it.
Here's my AS3 code so far: var xmlholder:URLLoader=new URLLoader(new URLRequest("test.xml")); xmlholder.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onload);
I'm creating a Flash header for a website running on a coldfusion backend. Is there a way to create links on the menu so that only the cfm/html content beneath the banner refreshes but not the entire flash movie?
I have a stop action at the end of the movie now, but when I click on any of the menu links the entire movie replays from the beginning as the content refreshes.
