I'm using flash to build banners among other things. Today I experienced a problem with a banner with mouseposition interactivity. The expected interactivity was blocked by a transparent gif that lay on top of the banner and apparently was there to track and handle clicks. It's a ad component for Joomla called Ijoomla Ad Agency. There is no way to make the ad component work in another way.
View 8 RepliesI just recently coded a basic image slider/slide show in Flash CS5. Bassicly, it's just a bunch of images that slide via motion tween in and out of view (Like on the right side of Pizzahut.com, my clients insperation) but, when published and thrown into my HTML, it causes Internet Explorer to give the "To Help Protect Your Security, Internet Explorer has prevented this webpage from running scripts or active X Controlls" and you have to click the little bar at the top and select "Allow Blocked COntent" for the slideshow to work. I specifically coded this show in flash (Published as an SWF) to avoid this warniong (As opposed to J-Query) and I have sites that I have made with similar SWF image sliders that don't through up this warning [URL]
View 4 RepliesI have developed a set of flash games which are being used by several schools across the UK. For some odd reason, the school cannot seem to load the Flash games.
Upon contacting the ISP (SWGFL) - I was told that the network would automatically block flash games. This is all well and good BUT the school in question is able to load the following flash game[url].
I am currently using a PHP layer to communicate between Flash and a MySQL database. I was wondering if anyone knew any reasons as to why this might occur? Is there some kind of header() protocol I need to add to bypass this flash blocking?

I have a site at the mo with a banner in flash but i know that there are sites out there that use flash more in depth. ive seen pretty much whole sites done with flash before but have no idea how to do it! I could get something interatctive with buttons etc in flash cs3 but would have no idea how to display it all in a webpage, create a link from flash to the html or whatever so when a button was clicked it'd take the user to a different page...etc
I've created a flash with an RSS feed inside it, I've seen it work on other websites but it won't work when I upload it to my server. I've tested it and had to authorize it on my local computer and it's all there, but flash seems to have blocked it when it's online, Here's my AS code, I'm using flash 8
Actionscript Code: [code].....
I'm fairly new to actionscript. I have created a flash banner ad that is now hosted on a site. Whenever somebody clicks the banner IE responds witha a "pop-up blocked"!
The code that handles this is:
ActionScript Code:
clicky.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotourl);
function gotourl(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG.substr(0,5)=="http:") {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(root.loaderInfo.parameters.clickTAG),"_blank");
}}
Where "clicky" is a SimpleButton that covers the entire flash. clickTAG is passed as an argument as to where to navigate. If I allow pop-ups everything works as it should! Howvere disabling pop-ups shouldnt be needed - and i see that other flash ads on the site works without and pop-up warning.
I'm just finishing off my first bannerproject in AS3, but I'm having some issues with the clicktag. The code I've used works just fine on all browsers except IE, which blocks the popup window. I've figured I'm supposed to use the externalinterface call to work around my IE problems. Something like this...
[Code]....
I have an ad banner that the client says the clickTag layer must be the top most layer. The problem is I have movies below that layer that animate on rollOver:
Code:
on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("bounce");
}
These do not work unless they are above the clickTag layer. Is their a way I can adjust the rollOver code to acomodate for this? Both the clickTag and the movies are on the main time line but the rollOver animation is in its own movie.
I am using AS2.0 and SWFObject to integrate an audio player into a website. I have built a button that launches the player into a seperate window so that people can surf the site and listen to the music simultaneously. There is only one problem!! In IE the window is being block by the browser's inbuilt popup blocker. I have tested other sites that feature similar functionality and popups are not blocked!?
Has anyone experienced this issue before and do you have a workaround?
Site I am referring to = [URL] An example where popups are not blcoked = [URL]
I have a website located at: tonywilford.com made entirely of flash. However when I click on any outside link like on my contact page , it detects it as a pop up and doesn't open it.I know I can disable the pop up blocker but how can I make it not do this for the everyday ordinary non technical visitor?What I was trying to do (which may caused this) is when a link was clicked it would open in another tab instead of opening in the same window. If possible, I'd still like to achieve this.
View 1 RepliesI'm making a sort of portfolio movie using flash which I intended to use for directing to different locations in the Web concerning me; my already uploaded flash movies, sites, creations, projects, etc.
It quickly seems all my work till now might have been for nought: when I click on a link in my published flash so far, it displays this message:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application:
(swf path)
has tried to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
(link target)
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings."
As you can probably understand, I cannot expect visitors to my site to manually configure their player for every single of the tens of links I have in my movie. Is there any way I can convince Flash Player that my links are not potentially unsafe?? I am using Flash CS3 and AS2.
I have recently had a new computer, and I run my own website containing various Flash animations. I have had to reinstall all my software packages onto my new machine incl. Dreamweaver and my FTP program. I've just uploaded my website, but none of the Flash content is able to be viewed online. It works perfectly when viewed via Dreamweaver, but is just not visible on the Net, as if something is blocking it. All other Flash websites, apart from mine are working fine.

I have been trying to convert my swf files to flv.
I've tried a whole bunch of converters and I can't find one that will preserve the interactivity of my file.
My interactive .SWF that is called loses all interactivity when loaded, however, the .SWF works perfectly on its own. The .SWF that is called basically has 4 buttons that moves a set of 4 images 50 pix to left so it can be viewed when button is pressed.
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble retaining interactivity in a DisplayObject (MovieClip) that has been altered to become a 3D object in Flash 10. The current structure is as follows: MovieClip1 with Mouse EventListeners nested inside MovieClip2 inside MovieClip3. MovieClip3 is rotated in 3D space via rotationX and rotationY as well as in Z space. After this happens interactivity in MovieClip1 does not function.

View 1 RepliesI'm new to using flash and actionscript, but i'm looking to learn how to make a video or a series of videos play using flash. Where the user has to click on a specific part of the screen to play the next video. I'm using Flash cs3 to do this and again i'm new to this so i don't know how to navigate very well. If anyone could provide me with a tutorial or walkthrough on this that'd be amazing.

I am using a box element to add a transparent overlay to a column of buttons. I want to add a click event to the buttons. However, when you click a button the click event is only triggered on the overlaying box. Is there anyway to pass the event to the underlying button or perhaps a better way to display an overlay without blocking the click event?
View 1 RepliesAs an AS3 beginner, I'm trying to translate an old AS2 trick into AS3. I want to disable then re-enable any kind of interactivity with all the display objects on the stage, at once. For example while waiting for external assets to load or after a user clicks on a menu item.
This what I used to do with AS2 :
protect_mc.onRelease = function():Void {};
protect_mc.enabled = false;
protect_mc._alpha = 0;
protect_mc._visible = false;
Then switching protect_mc._visible to true or false.
(protect_mc being an empty movie clip with the stage's height and width, at the highest depth)
My first idea is registering a listener with the Stage for the capture phase of MouseEvent.CLICK that stops all input events propagation (mouse, focus, text...), when a "lock" static variable is set to true or does nothing otherwise. Second idea is using a Custom Event...
Can it be blocked with an adblock like Adblock Plus or others...
View 1 RepliesI want to upload images with multiple URLLOADER s,so that i could save the time when waiting for the COMPLETE_EVENT.
Sometimes it could get blocked,and it does not give a completion event, does not give a security error, does not give a status event and does not throw an exception. It simply never fires any event at all.
private const RO_NUMBER:int = 2;
private var roPool:Array = new Array();
public function init():void {
[Code].....
the load operation is asynchronous and single thread .why could this get blocked?
It would seem that if you choose to create a custom cursor that you cannot interact with anything else on the stage with a mouse. I have written the code:
[Code]...
When I roll over and click, nothing happens. Every now and again it works, but very rarely. It's not because it's a ENTER_FRAME event either, because I changed it to a non ENTER_FRAME function and changes from hitTestObject to a ROLL_OVER and it still didn't work. But I have seen hundreds of Flash games over the years that have custom cursors AND interactivity.
Here's the excellent Todd Dominey crossfading slide show. All I want is just that after the slideshow has ended (by choosing "sequential" on the xml file) with 10 pictures of flowers for examples, I want it to load by itself another .swf (movie2.swf for example)
Code:
/* Crossfading slide show */
// set random # variables - each must be 0 for first 'while' loop below
var randomNum = 0;
var randomNumLast = 0;
// parent container
[Code] .....
Among all this code, where do i write "loadmovieNum ("movie2.swf", 0)" to get out from this string? I want to create an interactivity between pictures slideshow + graphic swf's I created with graphics, drawing etc...
