ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Load Quiz Automatically When App Starts
Jul 21, 2010
I have a quiz app. All data is in an xml file. Right now when the user starts the application he/she has to pick a chapter from a combobox and all questions for that chapter get loaded. What I'm trying to do is have only one chapter instead of multiple in my xml file and remove the combo box completely. So when the user starts the application the chapter gets loaded automatically. How can I have the quiz load automatically and not when the user selects the chapter from the combobox.
ActionScript Code:
function goReview(evt) {
myRoot=evt;
goXML("XMLs/review.xml");
} function goXML(url) {
myXML.ignoreWhitespace=true;
[Code] .....

I have a flvplayback component on my stage at the end of my presentation that plays a .flv with an external .xml file for captions (using the flvplaybackcaptioning component targeted to my flv player). When the video begins to play, the captions automatically appear over the video. Is there a way to make it so the video begins to play without the captions automatically turned on?

i have an xml driven photogallery with thumbs and the slideshow starts automatically and is cross fading and it has a next/play/pause/for buttons. Everything is fine but i don't like the way the thumbs scroller operates, it's way to mechanical and i would love to add an easing effect to it. How do i do that? this is the code of the whole gallery:

Anyone know where to start thinking about logic for an XML quiz with multiple correct answers, that when the user gets the question right, that question is removed from the random array of questions so we never need to answer it again?

I've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:
[Code]...
now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).

Basically I have a background image which is loaded while the rest of the flash file is loaded. So once the preloader has finaly appeared its already half way through which I dont want.
Is there a way I can specify a certain image to be loaded before everything else in the flash file and before the first frame to start?

Basically my code at the beginning of the movie queries the server for the file names of jpeg files that are to be loaded into sequential frames. The reason is that the user can enter file names into a database and the application plays them back without the user having to do any flash programming. Currently, my code is using a preloader in each frame along with some additional code to center the picture etc.
This is fine *but* I need all of the jpegs to load before the movie starts, not when the play head gets to each frame. I can't have any delay from one frame to the next. Delay in the beginning of the movie is ok. Can anyone help me with a method to dynamically load these jpegs completely before the movie starts playing?...once loaded they must be available for any frame to call immediately.

I just created a basic flash file to play a video on my web page and it's taking several minutes to load before it starts playback. I'm using progressive downlaod and the file is in *.mov format and is 84MB in size. At first that seemed large to me for web play back, but I thought it could handle it since I thought the way progressive download works is that it would start playing the first frame right away and progressively play other frames as they download. However, this seems to be downloading the whole file first (or a major part of it) before starting any playback at all.
Is there some kind of setting I'm missing or is my understanding of the download incorrect and the file size is too large? Some vitals: I'm using Flash Pro CS5 - To create my flash file, I used the standard import video wizard and selected the a file that is "on my computer" and "load external video with playback component" and then, I selected one of the standard skins.- To deploy the vidoe on my webiste I have three files:
1) swf file containing the FLV component
2) the swf file related to skin
3) the actual video (84MB, mov file) - Web page includes/embeds reference to swf file

Whenever I enter the actionscript loadMovie ....I could only place it in by cut and paste because everytime I use the ready actionscript loadMovie;it places the script as loadMovieNum and that does not work!
yet what do I have to do different to just have the sound load in automatically when the scene is open instead of having the viewer press play when they see the play button, but rather only see the stop button to choose to turn the sound off.

This is probably really easy to do but I an new at Flash and have no idead of how to do it.
I have a few buttons and when you click on a button it loads a different movie file. Is there a way that I can get one movie file to load after another automatically instead of having to press the buttons.

I need it to be in Action script 3 though. I did find a tutorial on this website that is labeled loading random movies but its written for a very old version of flash from 2004.
I am trying to load multiple swfs into a main swf one after another. So after one plays the next one plays etc. I need it to be random as well. As in I am going to be taking some swfs out then putting new ones in the rotation. This is a slideshow so to speak of different swfs displaying current promotions and when the promos are over I need to remove them from the rotation. I right now have one big long swf that contains all the different rotated promos I hope this was easy to understand.

Basically my project is like this, if the time condition is not meet, then it will display a default swf. If meet,then it will unload the default swf and display certain blank swf which will addchild certain image and words based on record in database. Then when the time is reach the end of duration, it will unload the blank swf along with the images and words and upload back the default. how to do in such a way like automatically unload a default swf and load the blank swf along with objects when the time is meet with computer system time and vice versa.

My first movie is in AS1: movie1.swf is its name and it only contains a button, releasing it, it loads hello_world.swf in the _root. The code is:
btn.onRelease = function(){_root.loadMovie(hello_world.swf)};
It works fine if i open the movie alone, a problem comes when I load it from this other movie called movie2.swf (which is in AS3). The load script in this second movie is:
var i =new Loader();
i.load(new URLRequest(movie1.swf));
MovieClip(root).addChild(i);
when i open movie2.swf it will automatically load movie1.swf, which looks fine, but now its button doesn't work.Maybe it isn't logic to keep the AS1 in the first movie, but I really want to keep it as it is (cause I would have to change dozens of them,) i really want this AS3 and AS1 communication.

We're trying to implement a load-balancing mechanism between FMS hosts in a virtual "farm". The mechanism we're using is to have the FMSs periodically send "load" data (along with a timestamp) to an application server. That server will then use that load information and timestamp to detect when an FMS server has gone down and to make stream assignments to FMSs. Right now, I've implemented this code via a setInterval() in live/main.asc.
I've added a "return false" to Application.onAppStop() to (according to the docs, I haven't tested this yet) keep the server from shutting down an idle instance. How do I get the interval running before the first request hits the application (and forces the load of the application)? I've tried putting the setInterval in onAppStart() and as a global. In both cases, it only gets executed after application is loaded. Any way to force an application to load (via a config file parameter or local command-line)?

Ok this is what I would like to do. My project I am working on has an app that will upload image files to a specific folder on my server what I would like to do is have it load all the files in that folder through flash without me having to manually add the names of the files into the coding if possible.
I can create an image slideshow but I have to put in each and every .jpg and such I would prefer not to do that as in the future there may be more then 5-10 images.
In addition I already have the app created that uploads files.

I have a an swf (A) that loads external swf files (B). I use the loader or UILoader classes for this. I do not have the source of the loaded flash files, I have source only for files A. The loading works fine. The problem is some of the loaded files resize or rescale themselves. Doing some research I realized that they use the Stage.width/height for calculating their size/scale. This approach works fine, when they are embed to a website, because they get a stage sized for their needs. But when these files are loaded in my MovieClip, they get the stage of the loader swf(A), and that is definitely have different sizes.
Approach 1: In this approach I tried to create a fake stage for the loaded movies with the right size for them. This failed at several points: Stage is a singleton, and the stage property of the objects are Read-Only. On top of that Stage is a built-in class, without AS source. My first question is that is there any possibilities to override this class, or use this approach?
Approach 2: I planned to design a web-service (not in actionscript), that predownloads the swf, decompile it, replaces the references to Stage.width/height to the correct values, compile it again, and passes the generated swf to my Loader. On decompilation/recompilation, it should be as fast as possible, and I'd like to modify the swf as little as possible, so I prefer to not decompile the swf completly, just as much as needed.
After some googling I found swix kit, or simply swix. It generates not the source but an xml file equivalent to the swf. The problem is this xml format is not documented, or at least I haven't found it. I found references for Stage, but I have no idea how to modify that file.
Code:
<ConstantPool>
<Constant Name="Stage" />
<Constant Name="width" />
<Constant Name="height" />
<ConstantPool>
How to replace the Stage.width/height values with a simple Number in the xml? Does this tool have a command-line interface?

I've got index.swf which is the file with the container. main.swf is the file to be loaded onto index.swf.I can't get my main to load into the container automatically at a specific time. When I click on the button the animation plays perfectly though.Maybe because loadMovie is unable to load over index.swf?I haven't inserted code for any of the other buttons yet though. I want to be sure I can make this work before I start doing everything else. I think it shouldn't matter though cause its only meant to load at a specific time.
