ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Documents?
Jun 17, 2009I am a beginner when it comes to Flash and Actionscript. I know how to create a few things using Flash, but when it comes to programming in actionscript, I am clueless. I work for a local government agency; my boss and I want to simulate a digital signage system using Flash.
I have a document that changes weekly, I want to load it in a Flash file that will display it as is and autoscroll it and loop back to the beginning. The file itself is created by a secretary in different office. We want her to save the file in a designated folder and it will automatically apear on screen. (does any of this make sense?)
I was able to set up an application that uses xml and css. I had to go through the microsoft word document copy and paste it to an xml editor which was 14 plus pages and add xml tags. I was able to get it to show up online, but I could not find code in actionscript 2 that uses autoscroll.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading An External .swf Then Referencing To It's Label?
Aug 25, 2008I'm new with Actionscript and am currently working atbuilding a website. I've got a lot figured out so far but oneproblem I'm running into is when I try to load an external .swfusing the loader component and then reference it or try to point toit within my main .swf I can only load the "gallery.swf." throughmyLoader.contentPath = "gallery.swf";I'm trying to load it and then point to a specific label soit loads that frame or label. I've created separate labels for eachimage in my gallery so that when I point to them with AS, it knowswhich image to load. It worked when I had the gallery in the main.swf but when I used the loader component it didn't work.The AS I used that worked before I made a separate .swf andused a loader was:

_parent._parent._parent.photos_MC.gotoAndPlay("img1");

Actionscript 3.0 :: Loading And Playing External Swf After Going To Frame Label?
Feb 8, 2011I have a button on the main timeline. When clicking it, I would like to move the main timeline to a frame label called "history" and load and play a movie clip called "slideshow1".

Actionscript 3 :: Change A Frame Label Within A GotoAndStop('label') With The Parameters In A Function?
Feb 29, 2012Is it possible to change a frame label within a gotoAndStop('label') with the parameters in a function?I'm playing around with updating code as I learn more and more techniques, and at the moment the code is a basic click-a-button to select the object shape, and on press the button disappears:
// Change the object into a circle.
circle_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(circle_btn,circle);});
// Change the object into a square.
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,function(){changeShape_fun(square_btn,square);});
[code]....
However I can't/don't seem to know how to change a frame label through function parameters, or if what I'm trying to do is even possible.Also to note, while I'm all ears for any more efficient ways of doing what I'm trying to do, I would still like to know how/if you can change frame labels through function parmeters.
Add Metadata For Searching To FLA Documents?
May 29, 2009In Flash CS3 when you did Modify/Document it allowed you to type in a document Title and Description which were metadata searchable by internet search engines. According to the book "Brilliant Flash CS4" this is still possible in CS4, but I think they have removed the option, and the book is wrong. add metadata for searching to FLA documents or is this now gone?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using 2 External Documents?
Jun 13, 2011I have a dillema with Flash, and that is using more than 1 external document... Over the years I've tried using the include statement WHICH worked in as2 but now as we have progressed into as3 it seems to cause more and more errors! Why is Adobe screwing up actionscript? Back when Macromedia owned it everything was sooo much simpler than it is now
Right now I am making a Flash Game which is almost finished and I'm already using the external document for the GameController, I've added a brightness setting for portable users to make it brighter, I borrowed code off a kind coder and I'm now responsible for converting the external document into the actions keyframe...I used the include 'Main.as' statement and I get this error, packes cannot be nested.....is it possible to put the full code in my keyframes actions layer instead?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple XML Documents In One FLA?
Apr 24, 2008i'm trying to create a mix and match clothing application using flash for a school project but am having trouble with xml documents. Using an old gallery tutorial on the site, i found it was quite easy to load up one xml document, excerpt of code below.
I thought it would be as simple as copying all the code and changing the variable names to load a second xml document but i find when i run the code, that only the last xml document in the code loads
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

View 3 RepliesFlash :: Open Office Documents From It?
Apr 19, 2010We're working with a product called ProForm to create online courses that are Flash-based. It's a pretty cool product, created by Rapid Intake and using ActionScript 2 as the basis.
The problem we're seeing is that when we try to use this method to connect directly to Office documents, the links fail to open the documents in Internet Explorer. When using Firefox, they work fine, and soon after clicking the link the user receives a dialog asking if they wish to save or open the document. This is the behavior which we expected in IE, and which one can achieve by holding the CTRL button and clicking the link (and don't ask me how that was figured out, 'cuz I don't know). But when just clicking the link in IE, a browser window briefly pops up, then the thing disappears and nothing else happens - no file opens, no dialog appears, nothing.
Professional :: Screen-based Documents In CS5
Jul 21, 2010Just fired up Flash CS5 to a surprise. My screen-based SWF from years ago will no longer load. how does one achieve the equivelant of nested screens in CS5 now? I have outer chrome that's common to all screens and switch between nested screens to show different shared form screens that get populated with content from a database. Short of duplicating the shared content over and over, how do you get the layered effect I'm after? Does everyone simply jump around on the master timeline? Or does CSS play a role here?
View 1 RepliesFlash :: Is Using Uncompressed XFL Documents With SVN Advisable
Jul 11, 2011My team and I are considering switching to using the "Flash CS5 Uncompressed Document (*.xfl)" option in Flash CS5 based on the assumption that it will allow better collaboration and conflict resolution when working in a version-controlled (SVN) environment. We would like to avoid the common situation of irresolvable conflicts when multiple people edit an FLA. at least in the initial release of Flash CS5: [URL] Has anyone had success or failure with this approach? Is this a favourable or detrimental change in workflow?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mxmlc.exe Compile Pro Documents?
Jan 27, 2011We're looking into an automated nightly build process using ANT or Maven. The build machine is separate and runs headless... in fact it's just a Virtual Machine on our corporate servers. I know it can easily enough handle normal command-line compilation using mxmlc.exe, but my developers are all using FlashBuilder Pro. My question: Can vanilla mxmlc.exe compile Pro documents without FB Pro being installed? Could I just copy the latest ProSDK over to the build machine or (god forbid) do I have to buy yet another copy of FB Pro only to have it sit mostly unused on the build machine? Enquiring budget-conscious minds want to know.

Jan 17, 2007I'm currently making myself a new portfolio, mainly because I want to start learning some more advanced actionscript skills. I'm trying to setup my site so it runs completely off xml data. Firstly I have an xml menu loading into "menu.swf" and also a xml document with loading into a "project.swf"... Now instead of making a different swf for each project I thought it would be better to have one swf. This would mean loading in a different xml document into the projects window. Where I'm stuck is i'm unable to load a new xml into projects.swf. This is a button I'm generating from xml in menu.swf

Flash :: IDE - Extremely Slow On Certain Documents
Oct 28, 2009For some reason whenever I try to access a any of the files within a project that I'm working on it goes extremely slow. I'll click something, or type something and it'll take like 30 seconds before I actually see it do anything. I never had this problem with this project before, seems like it came out of no where. If I just make a new document, or goto another project it's fine.

View 1 RepliesPrinting Long Multi-page Documents
Dec 1, 2009I've got a document reader application that I'm trying to add a print option to, but I'm having real difficulties with PrintJobs.On my first attempt, I prepared all my pages in advance, then called PrintJob.start, followed by PrintJob.addPage for each page, then PrintJob. send to finish.On longer documents, however, this was falling foul of the script execution time limits.I could get 90-100 pages spooled before the runtime threw an exception and cut the print run short.On my second attempt, I prepared all my pages in advance again, then called PrintJob.start.I then tried using an event handler to call addPage for each page (first using the frame_enter event, then using a timer). However, calling PrintJob.addPage from an event handler like this caused an exception to be thrown.I've been tearing my hair out all afternoon trying to find a solution to this -- does anybody have any idea how I can get long PrintJobs to work?
View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Interacting With Html Documents From Flash
Apr 9, 2011I'm a newbie in actionscript. I created a world map in flash. The map has regions (Europe, North America, Latin America, etc.). The regions on the map are defined as buttons.
The final flash map will be embedded in an html document (map.html). The idea is that when you click for example the "Europe" button on the flash movie, this will open an html document called Europe.html and will show it underneath the map flash (inside map.html). The "Europe.html" for example contains a list of countries. In this mission I have 2 problems:
1. What script I have to attach to every region button on the flash map so it will call the right html file into the div on the map.html?
2. What script do I have to put inside the html document?

That is, I have the bundles but in terms of setting shell environments etc so that you can compile with ANT, find documentation for keyword (Reference Doc) within the app. For the latter ,when i try and do that it says no documentation found.
My shell env stuff is as follows:

I was wondering if anyone has a way of making it so a webpage is loaded within a swf. For example: Say I have a swf file that has a menu on the left and title animation at the top. Kinda like this.
