View 2 RepliesSo I've been building a colour picker, where you click an icon and a tooltip fades in revealing the colour picker. You make a selction and then click an "ok" button to close the tooltip(or mouse away from a couple of seconds and the tooltip closes)...Developing this was really smooth, untill I pushed the Button Component into the colour pickers containing Sprite. The problem seems to lie with getBounds. I use this to draw a background on the Colour Pickers container sprite. Now I have a button in there the first time I open the toolip I get a width and height of 250 - 100. Although the buttons dimensions are 25 - 18. The second time I click the colourPicker its getBounds() properties are correct and all is good.
If I add the Colour Pickers containing sprite to the stage before opening it then it opens with the correct dimension. Although this means the container is on stage. So I tried to just add and remove it in the one step but I get the same result as above.I'm thinking this has something to do with waiting for the button to be added to display list/stage or something but I can't work around it
This is a bit of an odd-ball problem. I've created a website 524 frames long, but am creating the pre-load bar *after* the website is done. I could move all the frames a few over, but this would require remapping all my many, many buttons. What I've done then, is told Frame 1 to go to Frame 525, and put the preloader there. I should note the site works perfectly without the pre-loader, I just want it to be smooth once it makes it online.The following code is being used for the first frame (frame 525) of the pre-loader:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";if (bytes_loaded ==

I have a problem with connecting as3 with php. I get the data return from php is wrong.
This is my code
AS3:
var file:String="test.php";
// Define global variable
function GetXMLfile(){
var loaderphp:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var urlRequest1:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
loaderphp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GetCharInfo);
[Code] .....
I am using a content loader through AS3 to load some images and then later pushed into an array. I have pushed my image file paths in to an array (arrayImages). But when the loader loads the images it doesn't load the images based on the order they are listed in the arrayImages, instead they were loaded based on their file sizes. Is there anyway that these can be loaded in the order they were pushed to the array? Below is the code that i use to load the images.
function funcLoadImages() {
for (var i:uint=0; i<arrayImages.length; i++) {
var ldrImageLoader:Loader=new Loader();
ldrImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(arrayImages[i]));ldrImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,pushLoadedImagetoAnotherArray);
}
}
why rapid clicking (moving to another part of the gallery) makes the loader loads the wrong picture?
Here is a simple example:
Code:
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest("gallery.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader(req);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlComplete);

I am using loaders to load .swf files from another folder to save on load times. When I switch the loader to another .swf file in the next frame, they all go blank.Also, is it possible to use a loader in a button to load images from another location?
View 0 RepliesI have a load file and a write to file method. We all know what they do. How ever load always returns true and write always returns false....Right there you know somethings wrong. Because The forums have an issue with me posting code...I posted it here: [URL] Based on this code what is the issue here? why is write always returning false and why is load always returning true? (even for files that do not exist). My understanding is that if flash cannot find the file it should write to it will create it and if it cant load said file, then that method should return false.
View 6 RepliesI have mc1 which contains code to dynamically generate multiple textfields based on an xml file, but mc1 has nothing physically on its timeline. I want to make another mc, mc2, where its y location is relative to the height of mc1, but when I trace the height of mc1 it returns 0.
Is there any way to get a height based on however many textfields are dynamically loaded into mc1? The height will naturally be varying so I can't just create a variable for a constant height.

The loading screen in the beginning is supposed to use a special font that I've downloaded. I can see this font on my system when I test the live site online on my system, but when I get on other systems (which don't have the font on their system) it displays a default font, usually Times New Roman or the like.
I'm just wondering if there is a way to embed the font somehow so it uses the font I've chosen for it to use.
I'm trying to make a dynamic menu. I load four buttons to the stage and applie code to each of the buttons. But it's only the last button loaded, that responds to onRollOver/onRollOut If I roll over the other buttons it's the last buttons that reacts all the time. I just can't see what's wrong. I'm sure it pretty simple. Here's the code:

I am working on a site which uses a flash menu I was handed. The flash menu uses an xml file to generate, it works fine as long as one stays at the top-level dir of the site, say [URL]. When someone enters a page, say [URL] the menu stops working, being unable to read the xml which is hardcoded to be in the same directory as the page it's called from (menu.xml is in /).
I must say that the locations visible to the browser are not real, everything non-top level in [URL] is just mod-rewrite, thus none of the directories test or page really exist. I can see the reason why flash looks in the same directory as the one the client requested for the file (instead of looking at the same dir locally in example).
So the two solutions I thought of:
1. Is there a file_exists function i could use to make the flash recurse upper-level directories until the menu finds the xml file? as in:
var menufile = menu.xml
while (!file_exists(menu.xml)) {
menufile = '../' + menufile
}
Obviously this is not real code
2. Is there a way to open the xml from a web location and not from a static path relative to the swf itself?
I have a .swf that rotates through dynamically loaded images, like a banner of sorts. It secures the image names by loadVars-ing a text file. All this works fine and dandy on our test site -- everything functions flawlessy.
However, when we move the same set of files (same html page, same directory layout, same text file, same swf, same images) to another site, it doesn't work -- the swf runs, but it fails to load the images.
I'm told that this new site is on the same server, so it shouldn't be an issue of server settings.
on my onEnterFrame function, I just want to keep updating a Dynamic Text Box location. It's giving me more trouble than I anticipated, and the solution is probably very easy. I have spent 30 minutes (give or take) on trying to figure it out, but to no avail. This is what I have at onEnterFrame:
ActionScript Code:
_root.HPnum._y += _y - 60;
_root.HPnum._x = _x + 20;
Fairly simple, it's in the as code file that I want it to track. What happens is, it does get moved, but I cannot see it anywhere.

I'm having with a menu navigation system. I'm using Flash MX. I have created a menu system for the site I'm building ([URL]) where one of the buttons "Choose photographer" drops down a list of names. All the other buttons just jump to another page. The drop down is currently using tweens also the logo moves to the left as the dropdown appears and returns when the dropdown returns. All working fine apart from its a bit jerky.
It's I just wanted to get away from tweening and use action scripts instead, as I'm a newbie to all things Flash I trawled the net for tutorials and examples so that I could cobble together the exact same effect. I have managed to get the drop down work and return using the action script and it does seem smoother and works slightly better. But can I get the logo to move to the left and back in time with the drop down...no.
My dynamic text returns null instead of pulling the info i want from my xml file. here is my actionscript and here is my xml. the really weird thing is that i had it working at first. the only thing i changed was the name of the xml file. i used to be called "test" but i needed it to be named something more appropriate so i changed the filename and then i changed the actionscript where it is parsed. so it SHOULD work... but it doesnt. here is what you see instead of the correct info. it seems like the link between the xml and the fla are not communicating with each other anymore, is there anyway i can check to see if the parse is correct?

I have an array of data that I'm using to create thumbnails and labels I'm using "Loader" to load the thumbnails (sample code below) but what I'm wondering is how I can make the name of the loader dynamic so that each child gets named "image1, image2, ...". I tried adding "[i]" after the "image" for each item in the code but it complained about missing semicolon before left bracket.
var image:Loader = new Loader();var target_image:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/" + xmlData.Product[i].id + ".png");image.name = "image_"+[i];
image.load(target_image);

View 1 RepliesWould like to find out what are the techniques people are using for pre loading multiple dynamic content for example using Loader.load()I understand if i just had one Loader.load() then I can listen to it with contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, callback)But when I have multiple Loaders, what technique is used for ensuring all the content is loaded before playing the swf?Currently I use an counter such a that on each Event.COMPLETE from different Loaders, I increment that counter until I have register all the COMPLETE events. But I think this is certainly not a good method?

View 8 RepliesI have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");

Google calendar is available to be embed into a HTML website.. But I have a Flash site.. I want to load that calendar into my site.. It has an option for a button. But would like to have the entire calendar view. Can this be loaded into a dynamic text box or a loader component??? Does anyone have a clue how to do this... Or create a monthly calendar with events.. I can't seem to find one anywhere, I am sure it can be done.. but not very good with AS.
View 1 RepliesI have two swf files, each one almost with the same classes, the most important one is a Singleton class, each swf does "singleton.getInstance()". The diference is that one swf is like a container and the other one is like a module. So when the container loads the module from an absolute path like loader.load("file://c:/modules/module.swf") or loader.load("[URL]"), two different singletons (same class) are created
But when the container loads from a relative path like loader.load("module.swf") , just one singleton is created (that is what I want) I am just intrigued with this behavior, could someone explain me this? PD: I believe is something related to loaderContext and applicationDomain but It also appears that isn't working right. -Patricio Foieri , Vertigo Labs
