ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading An External Swf That Contains A Flv In Fullscreen Mode?
Nov 3, 2009I have am having a bit of trouble. I am trying to run a flash presentation in fullscreen mode that loads and unloads several external swf files when you click on different buttons around the stage. There are no problems at all if you are not in full screen mode. As long as none of the external swf files have a flv playback instance they play fine...there are 2 files that have flv movies playing in them. When the playhead gets to the keyframe playing them the screen goes to black and the entire presentation locks up even though I have
subFLV.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
in the actions for the external swf file (subFLV is the name of the flvplayback)
I have also tried
this.subFLV.fullScreenTakeOver = false;
I'm not sure how to force the flvplayback in a child instance of a movie to not take over the screen. Any ideas? Or have I talked myself into a circle again..
How To Sync Swf And External Flv
Jan 27, 2010I'm a total novice and I think I can't find an answer to this question because it is so basic. There are all kinds of tutorials on FLVPlayback, streaming video from a URL, etc.,but nothing I can find on how to make it play nice with the rest of the flash animation in my .swf. I assume this is a matter of simple actionscript (AS3), but my ignorance is profound.
So . . . I've got a flash animation that leads into a gotoAndPlay button, which references the frame where my video starts. The video, streaming from my url, plays fine, but if it takes a moment to buffer, the main timeline in my .swf just continues on through the frames I've created for the length of the video. Since my intention is to have the video finish and loop back to the intro. animation, ending with the play button displaying again, what happens is that it loops before the video is done playing, leaving the audio still streaming but the viewer staring at the play button. In other words, if there is no lag time for buffering, the number of frames before it loops is enough for the whole video. If it lags for buffering, it cuts off part of my video, prematurely looping to the intro.

Is there a way to sync the two playheads, so to speak, so that the .swf doesn't continue on when the video is paused?

Jan 15, 2009Having done loads of it in the first few years of this century, I've not done much Flash in the past few years, been focused on PHP/MySQL Development. Anyway, I now need to use the data from a MySQL database offline in a Flash executable so I'm jumping back in with AS3. There are several tables involved and I can write a script to export the data to whatever format is best.
XML or CSV? Should I get it all into one file with all the data or is it possible to do the quivalent of joined queries once the data is in Flash? I don't need a full explanation at this stage,
Actionscript 3.0 :: Loading External XML Data
Apr 19, 2010I built a simple application to load XML data using a external XML file. However, the link I am using will have a different Presentation ID each time a user creates a presentation. So some how the presentation ID needs to be know before I actually load the XML file at least in my mind it does. Is there a way to load the URL dynamically or set my url loader up so it loads whatever ID there is?

ActionScript 2.0 :: For Loop For Loading External Data?
Jul 28, 2009I have a bit of a problem finding the correct syntax. I have a whole lot text variables here. The myLV value is in a external text file. So myLV.nr1 from my external textfield is loaded in ovrnr1.text. This way I can easily change the value in my text document.
ovnr1.text = myLV.nr1;
ovnr2.text = myLV.nr2;
ovnr3.text = myLV.nr3;
ovnr4.text = myLV.nr4;
If I put it like this it works fine but I thought, hey, in stead of writing
150 of these I can put it in a for loop. So I tried this.
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
ovnr[i].text = myLV.nr[i];
}
However, this does not seem to work ? And could I do it to a button too ? So instead of writing 150 button onrollovers I could also make a loop for it ?
Something like
for (i=1; i<150; i++) {
this.btn[i].onRollOver = function() {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Data (dynamically)?
Jun 21, 2011I am trying to load dynamic data into text fields with in flash (.swf) the system is a closed circuit (no internet & web access) basically there are about 10 standalone computers connect through a network and one central computer i created a flash which will be downloaded to all the computers at once and each computer has a unique (name).My goal is to load the different data into the text field for each computer:Computer 1 would have winner 1 Computer 2 would have winner 2and so one........Steps the code should do..1. call function and load the "unique (name)."of the computer by going to("c:/myharddrive/local.ini"); flash will reconize the "ini file to say "this is computer 12. then have the txt request come from("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");when i publish the file out there is no errors-When I view the files on each computer there is no data (blank screen")so my guess it is not seeing the path for newURLRequest("c:/myharddrive/local.ini");r new URLRequest("c:/CMS/MediaFiles/Data2.txt");can anyone breakdown the code and let me know how flash can go to those specific areas on each individual computer and pull the data into flash

View 4 RepliesFlash :: IDE - PHP And MySQL - Loading External Data Into An SWF
Jul 5, 2002it took me so long to write this tutorial Well, here I go... Section 1: Introduction So you want dynamic content on your Flash movie. Sounds simple, right? Well let me tell it is, and well, it isn't. This tutorial assumes a basic knowledge of Actionscript, PHP and MySQL. If you have that, it's time to move on. Otherwise, I recommend you do some reading on the subjects... Section 2: Setting up your SWF to receive external data Loading external data into an SWF is a fairly simple task. Although the external text file method is probably the most widely known, it is by far the clumsiest way to get data into your SWF. Of course, this may be your only option of your server doesn't support MySQL/PHP! But for those of us who are fortunate to have these privileges, let me show you how Flash can get external data without having to create additional text files.
Dynamic text fields In order for Flash to get data from an external source, you need to make use of dynamic text fields. Simply place a blank dynamic text field on the stage and make sure you give it a variable name (NB: dynamic text fields have both an instance AND a variable names. In this case we want to focus on the variable name). Note the name you give to the field's variable name, as we'll need it when we write our PHP script. Once you have a text field setup, convert it to a movie clip symbol. Attach the following code to the resulting movie clip:

ActionScript 2.0 :: External Audio Not In Sync With Text/screen On Windows XP?
Sep 23, 2011I created a Flash program that utilizes audio and text. The audio is located in an external folder and is loaded using .loadSound(). The text is located on the timeline and appears based on a certain time in the audio. I have a pre-loader that looks to ensure all of the external audio is loaded before the user can move onto the appropriate screen and the audio would play. This is using a combination of the .getBytesTotal and .getsBytesLoaded.
It works fine on Windows 7 but doesn't seem to be working one particular user's Windows XP on IE 7 (So it's not happen on all Windows XP). On a particular user's computer, the text is slow to load while the sounds loads pretty quickly leaving the text out of sync. After a few screens, the text will catch up with the audio.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading External Data To An Array Syntax Error?
Jan 25, 2009I'm trying to load data from an external text file into an array. I created an array and am able to load the data into an array if I explicitly say something like
ActionScript Code:
array[0] = event.target.data.uid1_name;
I can then do a trace statement on array[0] and it will output the correct name from the file. My problem is I'm trying to iterate through the variable names in the text file in the file by using an index variable. This is the code I'm using after doing all the URLloader, URLRequest, and so forth stuff:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i = 0; i<20;i++){
fArray
= event.target.data.uid_name;
}
This produces a syntax error. I've tried several other syntax variations but haven't been able to figure it out. I've also tried the following:
fArray
= event.target.data["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray = event.target.data.["uid"+i+"_name"];
fArray
= event.target.data."uid"+i+"_name";
All three of those also give me errors. For the first one the trace statement outputs "undefinded" instead of "Doug". For the second I get "syntax error. Expecting identifier before left bracket". And for the third I get "syntax error, expecting identifer before uid.":
syntax to iterate the number after uid(uid1_name, uid2_name, uid3_name, etc)?

Also I've created a dynamic textfield, which loads this sent data from an external database. Now I want to add a scrollbar to this textfield, so all the messages that doesn't fit in the field will be visible. I've tried to create my own, without success, even the simple one in the componentspanel doesn't work.

The problem is, some stuff on the loaded swf contains a blend mode overlay + alpha animation. When it's loaded .... the overlay mode is just aparently ignored! >_<
I guessed it's maybe because the overlay thing is in one swf and the background is on the other, so i tried setting the overlay with with onLoadInit ... :

content.menu.background.blendMode = 'overlay';
this had no good result, my alpha animation on the mc would just not happen and i got no overlay blend at all =
