View 3 RepliesI am learning flash, and to do so I'm writing a little adventure game. My current issue is with saving progress; namely, having the game remembering what was done on previous frames. I've experimented with Booleans, who work nicely for small stuff, but it's proving more difficult to save things like inventory items or partial actions taken.
Google pointed me towards SharedObject, which would save data regardless of frame, handy! It seems to have the side effect of remembering the data even when closed though, meaning I have to erase it before every test. So now I'm thinking of turning it into a proper save & load system, like in a real game. But now I'm left to wonder, is SharedObject really the best way for me to save progress made in individual rooms? It's really simple stuff like redKeyTaken = true or greenDooropen = false (wheres then the movieclips of redkey or greendoor jump to their correct frames) What would you guys recommend for keeping track of individual room(frame) status? Keep using SharedObject and just flush at every action, or is there a better way?
I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code:
BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();[code].......
I have a Flex3 application which has to be capable of uploading multiple files and monitoring each files individual progress using a label NOT a progress bar.
My problem is that a generic progress handler for the uploads has no way (that I know of) of indicating WHICH upload it is that is progressing. I know that a file name is available to check but in the case of this app the file name might be the same for multiple uploads.
My question: With a generic progress handler how does one differentiate between 2 multiple uploads with the same file name?
This might be a tough one, so brace yourself I have a .swf file that plays until a certain frame.
Once the certain frame is reached, I'm trying to play an external FLV file that it loads onto the stage.
Everything works fine so far, I can display a Progress Bar while downloading the external FLV file using this script:

What's the best way to preload a bunch of assets (namely images) using only one progress bar?
Will the ProgressEvent automatically tally up the bytesLoaded and bytesTotal numbers for everything being loaded through that event?
Is it possible to have a single upload progress bar with multiple file uploads using uploadify?
View 2 RepliesI'm in the middle of something that's somewhat perplexing. Brief synopsis: It's a full screen kiosk type application with only touch screen control. Sometimes, administrators need to extract large chunks of data onto a USB memory stick to take offsite.
there's a folder on the filesystem with permissions set so that the user that is the web server can access and control it. There are around 100 directories in this folder, each containing around 40 megs of data split into around 10 different files. It's this directory structure I am copying to the USB stick.
Right now, I'm using AS3 to trigger AMFPHP which successfully executes the copy, but it takes about 5 minutes to complete the action, so obviously it needs a progress bar to show state of the copy.
I can execute the linux command of
Code:
exec)("cp -r /$origFileDirectory /$usbStickDirectory");
which obviously works, but there's absolutely no feedback until the entire operation is done (like I said, between 3 to 5 minutes)
Is there anything native to AS3 that I'm missing? Perhaps I've run too far down the PHP path and missed something obvious on the actionscript side?
Is it possible to have a same Video object ( and perhaps StageVideo) connected to multiple NetStream's objects? It's videoconferencing app, in which all members can speak ( So multiple audio sources) but should not hear themselves (that's why I don't join them in a single stream).
That's what I tried:
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
ns.client = this;
ns.play(streamName1);
ns2 = new NetStream(nc);

View 2 RepliesI am trying to upload image files to my server using AS3 and PHP, and at the moment I am succeeding in uploading multiple files and restricting it to images only, but since I am finding it difficult to figure out how to have a loader bar show when the files are being uploaded, as well as executing a function once all files have been uploaded to go to a specified frame.
Here is my code thus far,
AS3:
import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code]....
1: how can I display a percentage or a uploading bar indicating the progress of the files being uploaded?
2: How can I launch a callback function after ALL files have been uploaded successfully?
3: How can I make the file browser appear on click, and not upon loading the flash file?
Is there a way to do this?One edge to connect to two or more origin.

My application has a couple of modules which am loading as thus in my application.
<local:moduleloader url="Module1.swf" id="modulel" />
<local:moduleloader url="Module2.swf" id="module2" />
Then while loading each module I am showing the progress bar. The progress bar shows but does not go away. It remains above the whole frame of the application. The module loader is as follows:(Also note that in Flex 3 the same works, but am using Flex 4 and in Fx 4 it does not)
<mx:ModuleLoader xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

I'm trying to make it so that the first 99 frames of a 198 frame preloader run even when the swf is loaded into the cache. I have the script looping the second 99 frames of the preloader while the movie is loading, but when it's already loaded, I only want the first 99. Right now, when the movie is already loaded, I'm only able to skip over the preloader altogether and go right to the movie OR I can see a loop that starts at the beginning of the preloader and then cycles through the second 99 frames indefinitely and never goes on to the movie that's loaded. At first I was using two separate movie clips, one for the first 99 frames and another for the second 99, but since that didn't work, I combined the files to see if that would work, but it didn't. I've tried so many adjustments, I've run out of ideas. Is it even possible to use a conditional with the onComplete function that's supposed to run when the loading is done, so that onComplete only happens if the current frame of the preloader is greater than 99?
Here's my script for frame 1 of my movie. The movie proper starts on frame 2, and preloader is the 198 frame movie clip in the library. The result of this script is an endless cycling of the preloader even when the movie's loaded.
stop();
preloader.play();
function everyFrame(event:Event):void

Okay I made a photo Gallery using a Loader in the Components tab. I'm making the different frames load different pics (changing the Content Path of the Loader on each frame) so now when I go to my gallery after uploading it to the web then it takes a while to load the pics...so what i want is just to show the people that the photo is loading and that its not nothing on the gallery.
View 3 RepliesI have a swf called "main.swf". Here I am using movieClipLoader to load another swf called "news.swf". In "news.swf" I'm loading several images using movieClipLoader.
On the "main.swf" I want the loading progress for the ENTIRE "news.swf", including the loading progress for the images.
If I use onLoadProgress for "main.swf" while loading "news.swf", it will reach 100% before the images has started loading. I want the image loading to be included in the progress.
I was just wondering that is there a way to create a multiple file select like Facebook (using flash, I think.) and with a progress bar that show every photos progress in one progress bar. Have a clue or a script which can be customized and can be used easily?

View 1 RepliesI'm having quite a hard time with trying to use the UILoader& Progress Bar components together, to make my thumbnails &main images load. The slideshow consists of 6 thumbs, each loadedinto a UILoader component, and held within a movieclip calledthumbs_mc, which is animated to appear as if its moving up a path(starts really small, and enlarges toward the user). I've foundthat the animation will not work unless the UILoader components arecontained inside of a movieclip.What I'm trying and failing to do is monitor the loading of the thumbs, so that they won't start movingdown the path until they finish loading. So far, what happens whentesting live is that the thumbs skip the animation and just appearin their end positions. I can't seem to get the Progress Bar andthe UILoaders inside the thumbs_mc clip to work together.
Once I've figured out how to do this, the next step would beto load with UILoaders and the Progress Bar each of the largeversions of the images, when the thumbs are clicked. But for themeantime, if I can figure out the thumbs, I can probably figure outhow to apply the same technology to the loading of the main images.
Is there an easy way to do this? I have some rather largethumbnails that take a while to show up in the tilelist
View 1 RepliesSomebody should write a book about loading and pre loading assets in flash !Im loading a few images using a loop and i store them in a bitmap array.I want to find the proper way to create a progress bar.I think i need to calculate the totalBytes of all the images but i need to it before i load the images....Is there a way to get the file size without loading the image ?That way i could create a loop that will calculate the bytesize of all the images and store it an a variable.and then i could just divide the total bytes with the current bytes of the image and get a progress bar the will represent the exact loading time.
View 1 RepliesI am attempting to monitor the progress of an image scroller I've built and all of the images (thumbs) load separately. What would be the best way of figuring out what the total progress of the images that are loading? I was thinking it would be cool to use a generic loader and apply it to a function such as
myScroller.loadImages();
It looks like strange occurance - te progressbar whcih shows the progress of loading the flex application all of the sudden dissappear.
