I don't explicitly call the method xmlSocket.close() and a user is saying that when you close the app from the web browser the socket doesn't close properly and lingers for some time.
In my code I don't call xmlSocket.close() because the flash documentation says that as soon as you close flashplayer or the web browser the socket connection is automatically terminated.
At the moment I have the functionality to load an xml file using the xml loader class.
However, I wish to use xmlsockets to directly get an xml string from the server and load this.
Is it possible with actionscript to create objects then when sent through XMLsockets can be read by Java's ObjectInputSteam?

View 1 RepliesI need to run a script if a user "x" out of the flash projector. This script is a LoadVars() script that sends info to php it does not need to receive anything, just send._root.onUnload does not seem trigger or the LoadVars script does not have enough time to run. I am not sure. Does anyone know how to get code to run if the user "x" out of the program?
Code:
//this script does not run
//even if I select a specific movie to check for the unload, it doesn't run

I am currently trying to work out how to get Flash to close the browser window it is running in. I've done a simple Javascript test version which works fine.. But if I try and use:
ExternalInterface.call("closeMyWindow");
Functionality it does not. My simple Javascript version is cut and paste below and attached to this message.

I'm maintaining a ActionScript 2 application which uses createEmptyMovieClip to create dropdown lists (the list items being attached as movieclips). I can close the dropdown directly via removeMovieClip and such, obviously.
My problem is this: the dropdown should not only be closed when an item is clicked or the button creating it is triggered again, but also anytime the user clicks anywhere outside the dropdown (like onReleaseOutside, except the click also STARTS outside).
So far the only solution I can see is turning _root (or an invisible layer) into a button by proving an onRelease for it, but that's hackish in that it makes _root be treated like a button by Flash (pointer mouse cursor and all that). Do not want!
I'm wondering if there is a way to code the closing of a browser window which displays a published flash program (html). Say you have a button which says "Close" or "Quit". Can it be done? or must the user just click the little red 'X'.
View 3 Repliesgot a new problem with Flash CS4 which came up yesterday after trying to profile a swf with Flex Builder (3).As soon as I close a open document (like fla, as) or close a running swf (started with Cmd+Enter) it crashes. Reinstalled CS4 today, but the problem is still there. Really annoying stuff.

View 2 RepliesI'm a web designer but I just don't use a lot of Flash. I'm sure this will change as time goes on. For now, I'm still using an old version of Flash MX on my Mac - Flash MX version 6. But I don't think that has anything to do with the problem. I designed a flash animation for my wife's website back in 2004 and it has always worked perfectly up until installing the most recent Flash Player 10.0.32.18 just a few days ago. Here's the problem:On my wife's website, we have a special link called "view presentation". You click on that link and a smaller, separate window pops up. Inside of this pop up window is the flash animation (the actual swf file). In the HTML code for the pop up window, I have coded the following javascript:
function closeWin() {
if (document.images) {
self.close();

This is a new, legal installation of Flash CS5 running on MacBook Air. Here are the file management problems I'm experiencing:
1) files are excrutiatingly slow to open, close, save, and switch between
2) I currently have a series of about 15 files open and I'm trying to close them - I click "don't save" but the files won't close - it's like I've clicked cancel. I have removed the external media these files were originally on, but if not trying to save the file, why can't Flash just close them and make them go away?

View 3 RepliesThere are many posts about how to close browsers, but so far I can't get any of them to work from a custom class. I am new to AS3 so I could be doing something wrong. My class *is* being called and the method *is* executing, but the browser (IE) does not close. I'm wondering if this might be a scope issue of some kind?
View 0 RepliesI have a "video spokesperson" on one of my website pages. The swf file has a flash video in it (without the play/pause buttons, etc).
First of all...
1. How can I have play/pause/close buttons "appear" on mouseover?
2. What code would I apply to the close button in order to actually completely close the flash swf from the page? AND, how can I have my swf file automatically close when the video is done playing (if this is possible)?
I am no programmer, I really am not good at writing my own code but I can edit existing code to a point. I just have no idea where to start with this one.

I have been going crazy over this! I have an Air (2.6) app which, when running opens up a pop up NativeWindow, to handle alerts.
public var _alertWindow:NativeWindow;
_alertWindow = new NativeWindow(windowOptions);
_alertWindow.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
_alertWindow.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
[code]....
I have had no problems with this across all platforms. But in Windows7, when right click on the taskbar and selecting 'close-window' only closes the main app and not its child NativeWindow. ( This keeps the app running in the background - so when a user tries to access it again it does't run ) I have tried adding event listeners like Event.CLOSING, and various other methods but have failed.how to close windows from the 'close window' option in windows7.
Is there some way to call a function when the flash window is closing down?I use ActionScript3 in Flash CS3. I need to delete cookies from SharedObject after closing window.

View 3 RepliesI'm using swfupload to upload files to nginx. It works fine for me & 99% of our users.For a couple of users, however, it fails somehow during upload. It opens a connection, but seems to close it before it's complete - nginx reports a 499 status in its access log, which is NGX_ HTTP_ CLIENT_CLOSED_REQUEST.I managed to get hold of one of those users to get some more information. They're running Flash 10.0.42, on XP with Firefox 3.5.7.Has anyone seen anything like this? Any suggestions on fixing it / how I might investigate further?
View 3 RepliesI'm incorporating Flash for the first in my site [URL] it should a simple navigation but it has had me stuck for a while. I would like users to click any button on the stage (listed or thumbnails) and open a MC, then close the MC, using a close button , then return to Scene One, which is frame labeled "home".
I am able to successfully open and close the Movieclip but I am not directed back Scene One. When the MC closes, the thumbnail buttons are inactive.
Here is some sample code from The last frame of the MC actions.
stop();
closeVogue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickVogue);
function onClickVogue(event:MouseEvent):void
{ gotoAndStop("home");

[URL]..Above is a link to a component I'm working on. I've overlayed one swf with another swf which is going to display a sort of advertisement slide. What I'm trying to achieve is that when the adbanner (id="mediabanner") reads an xml file and reads "false", it then calls the ExternalInterface function "hideFlash" and in turn closes the swf so that the swf beneath it can be seen.
Could someone view the page source and let me know what I am doing wrong? The hideFlash function is being called, but its not actually hiding the swf.
