I have one simple question. When you type this line of code in AS3:
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("somephp.php");
You get this error:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null.
So my question is how do you create URLRequest with non-direct link (so no [URL]).
Didn't try to install 2004/2005 software until now, which REQUIRES by all means SPECIFICALY Flash Player 7 before continuing installation Tried with latest version of FP but to not avail does not proceed with installation till FP 7 is in HD first.
View 1 RepliesI am currently looking into the NetGroup class and AIR. Basically, is it possible to establish a direct link between two users without the need of a server? Lets say both of them have this AIR application or better yet its just a swf hosted on some private server of mine. Could two people use this application and simply send and receive files between each other? Eliminating the need for uploading sites like rapidshare?

I am having problems with my slide show play/pause buttons
When pressed, the pause button does not pause at all (the slide show automatically cycles every 5 seconds)
and the play button starts playing the slide show from the beginning instead of from the place that it was paused.
the file is attached and here is a direct link to view the problem [URL]

Im building a flash banner that takes dynamic xml data from another domain and displays them as links. To make the swf reload the xml (the xml links change all the time) every time Internet explorer is updated (instead of loading from the cache) I added +new Date().time to my URLrequest, and suddenly the links takes 9 seconds to display. Firefox doesnt have the cache problem and without the +new Date().time it displays the updated links almost instantaneously. Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?? a 9 seconds loadtime is too long.
Here is the first parts of my code:
__________________________________________________ ____________
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
//en trace variabel til hover state. Fjern da ogs� variablen de steder den benyttes.
var hover:Boolean;
[code]....
After that I use the linkList to dynamically create the links as textfields, with some formatting, hoverstate, linebreaks etc.
only thing I changed was adding the +new Date().time, and it displays the links so slow.

Im trying to create an implied webpage link to twitter, facebook, you tube ect. I have buttons with the logo on it! However for my work i can not just link to a webpage as it all needs to be contained in the files i.e. on a computer that doesnt have an internet link! I was thinking of having the page as a swf that loads in on a seperate layer on top of the main site, which can then be closed via a exit link on the page!
However im not sure what script i would need to put on the Facebook button to crate it to load, and what script to put on the x to make the link close! Or am i even doing it the right way! Should i be some how enbeding the webpages in the the flash file?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to do: [URL]. This is a little webpage I'm building as I learn more and more flash. I am at a point where I need to link .mp3 files to the buttons on the "Dan's Top Songs Playlist". If you like, you can download my flash file here: [URL]. I am working with ActionScript 3.0. The buttons in the Media Player are all instances of the same button. How do I tie each button to a different .mp3 song to play when clicked (and stop when another song is clicked or the pause button is clicked)? Because of the size of song files, I'd like to stream it. Also, is there any way to use the "repeat" symbol to just play all the songs in order and the "shuffle" symbol to play them in random order?

having previously made webpages just in html.I have a flash movie and wanted to add a series of links.I've made some buttons, but when I rightclick on them and go to actions, I don't get the 'basic actions>geturl' command that the help screens tell me I should have. I get some other crazy menu with options like 'Global Functions', 'Actionscript 2.0 Classes' etc.how I can bring up the actions menu that will allow me to create a link from my buttons?
View 2 RepliesI've made a component based on a mx:TitleWindow that contains linkbuttons that I'm using as a context-menu. The TitleWindow component contains link buttons like this:
[Bindable]
private var _showEmailThis:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
private var _showApproveThis:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
private var _showReviewThis:Boolean = false
[Code] .....
This component contains a large number of links and is re-used by multiple modules in the same application. Within each module, this component is used when a user clicks on a row in a datagrid. The code looks like this:
In "Requests" module:
private function dgRequests_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showApproveThis = true;
menu.showReviewThis = true;
}
In "Performance" module:
private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showEmailThis = true;
menu.showReviewThis = true;
}
As you can see, the visibility of individual linkbuttons is controlled within each module by setting boolean properties. If I alter this component to use a renderer, how can I control the visibility of the linkbuttons from the code in each module (there are over a hundred links with different functionality - not every link will be used in each module)? Note: it is not known from the back-end which grid within which module uses which link. This is set in the front end within each module's actionscript file. E.g., if the XML looks like this:
[Code] .....
And I set the Email link to show in the module like this:
private function dgPerformance_click(event:MouseEvent):void {
menu.showEmailThis = true;
}
How do I make it take effect? Is there a way to control the visibility of a linkbutton within an item renderer in a component from the module that uses that component?
I am trying to create something like a dress up game.
