ActionScript 3.0 :: Movie Keeps Playing When I Leave Webpage
Aug 6, 2009
I have run into a sticky problem in IE7.
A visitor can click on one of four links on an HTML page. Each takes them to a correlating anchor position within a movie that is located on another page.
When they click on the link, they are taken to that page and the movie begins playing at that location. So far, so good.
Some visitors hit IE's browser back button to return to the orig page. There, they click on one of the other anchors and are once again taken to the page with Flash. This time, however, the audio from the first anchor they clicked continues to play below the new audio they selected.
Apparently, the original link doesn't stop playing. Is there a way to stop a movie from playing as someone uses the browser's navigation to leave that page?

I deployed a website a couple of days ago which is written entirely in Flash. On one of the pages there is a video which plays in the Flash Player. I have noticed that when I leave the video playing and select a button to take me to another page, the other page comes up but the audio keeps playing from the prior page. Worse yet, if I go back to the page with the Flash Player, it now relaods again and there are two audio tracks. Can someone tell me how this code is solved? There must be some Actionscript 3.0, which I'm using, which kills the player whenever you enter a different page?
I'm getting no errors on this, Go (comeback) is my movie clip which should turn up when the mouse leaves the stage area and leave when the mouse enters the stage. I know it's probably my removeChild command
New to this and using Flash CS4/AS3 to build simple website...and everything works fine apart from the swf movie keeps playing when I move to another page.
I am using MC buttons to go to labels on a timeline in a MC. On the time line 'videos' I dragged on UIloader to play a swf of a video. My problem is that when I go to another page (along the timeline), 'home' or 'contact' etc, the swf is still playing from the 'Videos' section. You can't see it of course but can hear the sound. If I click back to 'Video' the swf starts to play again over the first play. I have stop action on timeline above each different section, but this just stops all the pages from cycling.
below is the code i'm using for the buttons.
function btn1Over(event:MouseEvent):void { btn1.gotoAndPlay("over"); } function btn1Out(event:MouseEvent):void {
I need to play a FLV file on a web page, but I don't want it playing in a visible player. That is I don't want there to be the usual Play button and no frame. I want it to work and look much like this link: [URL]. It is similar to those infamous "Mac vs PC" videos which occasionally play on the home page of [URL]. My flash ability in this area is limited. (I'm a Joomla pro but not a flash pro.) Looking at the source code, I see various swf controller file links, and some javascript, I think.
I have no idea what is in the swf files that may or may not be making it all work. First of all I don't even know if it is possible for a FLV file to play above html and then disappear revealing the html when it is finished playing. I assume with the swf and javascript and divs this is possible, but am not sure.Ideally I would love the complete code if possible. Or links to where I can find out how to do it.
if i have the following actionscript on frame1 inside a movieclip with the identifier name "inventory"
[Code]...
i get no errors but i also do not get the text to show up in the code that follows. (it DOES show up if i leave it embedded in the movie clip instead of putting it into the .as file)
Assuming a network hierarchy that supports video multicasting, what options are there today to tap into this stream from a web page? I've seen some references to this with Silverlight and project Star Light, which I unfortunately have no experience with. It also feels like a third option behind HTML5 and Flash.
I am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.
I am loading an external SWF file into my main timeline. The external SWF file contains an FLV video. At a certain point in my main timeline, the SWF file loads and plays the video. Is there a way to say...
If the VIDEO (FLV) is done playing, gotoAndPlay(X)?
I was wondering, what was the best way to for actionscript 3.0 to detect cuepoints playing from a FLV movie that is playing from an FLV playback component?
I found a flash movie on the internet and I modified it to meet my needs and works perfectly, but when I uploaded to my website it doesn't load correctly: it should have load the spiral carousel photoslide but instead it loads only the background photo. The flash movie is inside a folder with all the flash files included including the actionscript files, I uploaded that folder to my website and in my index.html page I've put my flash movie.
I am looking for the code or formula to created the video person talking over/in front of an html page created in DW full screen. I know how to shoot/create the FLV Flash movie file with transparent (alpha) background. The problem is trying to get the movie to float frameless over the html file without interference to the web page. Here is an example of what I am trying to do.... [URL] sorry this girl is taken. maybe there is a tutorial on how to do this somewhere. I have been looking for a solution for a few days.
I'm kinda new to Actionscript still and I found a code for an external movie (that's in an FLVPlayback component) to play in a container after a preloader - it can be seen here: [URL]..at the end of the intro clip, i want the site to go to another page automatically i'm having trouble because i think i'm supposed to use getURL, but i don't know how to tell it to go there only after the external movie is done. here is the code that controls the external movie:
once I have created a flash movie, how do I put that movie on another web pageI am constructing using html and css?I only want the flash movie to occupy a an area of 770px width and 75px height and I have already created the div id=""and formatted in css. I just need to put the flash movie in this section.
I have created a flash movie using actionscript 3 and an xml file with a list of images for a slideshow. After clicking publish, I can view the slideshow by previewing the html file it creates for you. However, I want to embed this flash movie in a different web page. When I try to add it in Dreamweaver, by dragging and dropping the swf file into the page, a flash placeholder is generated, but the movie does not play when previewed. It is just blank white space.
Now I watched the Tom Green tutorials on "flash the easy way" and my flash (CS4 professional) did NOT generate the AC_RunActiveContent.js files. I did find and download the file and manually added it to my Scripts folder. Still no joy.
I will note that the html file that embeds the flash video is in a different directory than the movie itself. Surely this cannot be the issue, otherwise people's websites would be incredibly messy with multiple flash videos. I am trying to put all the flash movies in their own child directories of a /flash directory to keep them neat and organized.
I am not sure what to do next. How do you make the dang thing play on a web page that is in another directory?
I want to create a flash signature and I did it's just a normal text animation but I want to upload to my website and then create a webpage with a textbox Where a user writes his name in that text box and then the text in the swf movie gets replaced by his name I have seen it else where but I can't Recall
I have a question, i have created my website and I publish the settings to swf-file and html-file and when I open the html file my website is to the left. But I want my website to be in center of the screen, can anyone tell my how to center the flash file?
How do I embed a webpage (for eg:- gmail log-in page) inside our flash swf file? I want that whole content to be loaded in our Flash movie! I've provided a screen shot of this...[URL] Is that possible in Flash?
I am trying to get a Flash movie I created to stop looping in my browser AFTER loading it into Dreamweaver. Here's what I've tried:
a) Place an AS3 "Stop();" at the end of the action script for the file (in Flash CS4).
b) Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab unchecked.
c) Open the tandem created .html file in my browser (Firefox)......and the movie plays then stops as hoped
d) Open Dreamweaver CS4
e) Import the swf file into a blank HTML page and Save the file.
f) Test the document in my browser. Movie plays, but the movie continues to loop.
as mentioned above, how can I stop the movie from looping after it's embedded in my web page in Dreamweaver? Is this a Dreamweaver 'problem' rather than a Flash one? The DW help file says to use Flash to control the loop....
Can the getURL load a webpage into a empty movie symbol?I want to load three webpages into three separate movie symbols but I dont want them to be able to maximise the web page etc.
I have a Flash slideshow that will only play in a browser if I click File > Open and open the .swf file locally and directly (not in a web page). It has never played in a webpage, remotely on the web server or locally on the Wamp server. It plays correctly in Flash when I test it.I have tried uploading the HTML page that Flash generates (without any changes), and it won't even play in that file. I have also tried using Dreamweaver's "Insert Flash" feature, and that was no good either.Here is the direct link to the .swf:
http:[url].....Here is the page that Flash generated:
I have a flash movie embedded on a webpage, it's an intro of sorts, when the movie has finished it removes itself from the DOM but I also want this functionality on flash movie click.so far to remove it after it's finished playing I'm using[code]but it never gets called. I also tried adding the click event to the body and it worked everywhere but not over the top of the flash movie.
Is it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.
I'm trying to make a flash website that has clickable buttons that will play different movie clips. But I dont know how to make it to just play the movie clip with the button you click without playing all the movie clips on the main timeline.
