I'm just learning actionscript, and was wondering how to have the new window opened be a specific size. I've searched around, but only really found instructions for AS2.
Here's the code I am using:
stop();
var pharURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://link.com");
function pharClick(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(pharURL);
}
phar_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pharClick);
Just started using Flash pro and 1st few times it worked fine, now it get to 'intializing tools' then after a few seconds it errors out then shuts down.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to avoid using AIR or running the SWF through the standalone Flash Player, but Windows 7 on a few specific PCs won't run the Flash .EXE projector - The projector does load files (jpg/xml) from an assets folder, but the Document Class constructor isn't even executing. This only happens on a few specific computers. Does anyone know if it could be a Windows 7 security setting?
View 2 RepliesCan someone recommend a good solution for a Windows based wrapper around a Flash application(or even IE, in which I can call Flash), that would launch as an executable and force the screen to a specific resolution and then render the Flash in that (full screen) window?

I'm relatively new and I've made a script on my banner for buttons to link internally to different pages on my webpage. The problem I'm having is every time I click on a link it directs me into a new window, it will redirect in the same window and new tabs wont keep poping up? The website is [URL] if you want to see the problem I'm having.

I have a PHP mailer form on my site which needs to be published in action script2 to work, but I also have a script set up to open browser windows of a certain size & location which needs actionscript 1 to work? The PHP mailer form has a "Name" field, "Email" field & "Message" field, theses can all be reset with a button. The button clears off any text in the 3 boxes to wipe them clean. The script on the reset button is:
on(release) {
_root.myForm.formNameField.txt = ""
_root.myForm.formEmailField.txt = ""[code].....
This works fine with section script 2 but not with as1. Does anyone know of a script that resets the .text field on as1 Alternatively is there any way of opening browser windows from a flash movie with browser win controls, eg. centre win, no scrollbars.
I'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up. When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed. Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround? And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?
View 4 RepliesI'm working in CS5, using AS2 on a Mac.I've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!

I have Flash CS4.I'm having problems opening a specific file.Its about 239,000 KB.Sometimes it opens partially, I can open movie clips and scrub through the time line and see my keyframes. The problem is that it wont display my movie clip keyframes in the viewing window.The flash dialog giving you options to open previous files is there instead.My friend can open the exact same file on his computer in Flash just fine.Also, I have hardware acceleration settings turned to 'NONE'.?
View 1 RepliesI am still learning Action Script but I have a problem with writing the full script for combing navigate to new URL and gotoAndPlay. More specifically what I want to do is use a button which when clicked will open a new page and then start playing my Flash movie at a certain frame on the Timeline. I have used buttons to navigate to a new URL and used the gotoAndPlay ( ) ; command to play a certain frame, both have been successful but when I combine the two I run into trouble. What happens is the new page loads correctly and goes to the specific frame but then opens the browser in a new window with the movie playing from the beginning. The correct sequence within the correct Webpage is playing but only if I close the current page, in other words what I am trying to achieve is running but in the background.
View 8 RepliesI have Flash CS3 on OSX. Everytime I open a specific FLA file, I immediately get the following error message:
"Error creating Flash Movie. Be sure the destination file is not locked or on a locked drive. Also, check to make sure the name is not too long."
Dismissing the alert box results in the same alert box instantaneously popping back, completely blocking any attempt to act upon the file. The file name is 7 characters long (extension included) and is located in a folder which contains other FLAs I have no problem publishing.
I have sent back the file in question to its creator and she had no problem opening it in CS3. She has done a "Save as..." and sent me the result, but it did not work. A collegue of mine opened it successfully in CS4. I have taken the opportunity to verify the Publish settings there (not that it should matter as I can't do anything with the file, let alone publishing it) and it is set to publish only a SWF file next to its FLA. Saving it as a CS4 file then back to CS3 has not produced a file which I can use with any success. It seems very unlikely that the file is corrupt. So is my Flash CS3 installation corrupt?
i have used the function before where you can have a new window open up from your flash file on release of a button, and have the new window set to certain dimensions and minus the toolbar. I have had to remake my site and lost how i did it and now cannot find a good tutorial for this.

Ive been searching high and low to find out how i can dynamically load an image into a container [i.e. im using the xml_photogallery tut. template] and setting it so that it scales to fit specific dimensions. At the moment Im having to resize images in photoshop so that it fits with in the container/webcontents dimensions. Otherwise different images with different sizes will bleed on main body of the site.
