ActionScript 3.0 :: Physical Sensors Or Buttons Communicating
Feb 14, 2010
I might get a job for a museum which involves triggering various movies / interactions with physical buttons. The details aren't quite clear yet but I thought I should get started with researching hardware options to be prepared. I imagine there will be a physical button to start the presentation, a button to stop it and perhaps a forward / rewind button? Or it could also be 4-5 physical buttons built into the wall next to a screen each of which would launch different movies. Is this something that can be done in flash at all? Are there such buttons out there that can easily be plugged into a computer through USB and then connected to a simple flash movie?

I am using the following code to try to reference these buttons "withing" my loaded content - itis giving me the following error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at sliSiteFinal_2_fla::MainTimeline/prevOut()
code:
pPrevH.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, prevOut);
function prevOut (e:MouseEvent):void{ var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(imageLoader.content); mc.btn_prev.gotoAndPlay ("pLout");
Is my dot syntax here off? As it seems I am defining prevOver and it is telling me I am not.

I'm using an online charting program written in flash. I have Flash 10 and IE8. Each time it draws a chart, my available physical memory decreases. On my WinXP Pro machine with an i7 processor and 4G RAM I can draw ~20 charts before available memory decreases to 1.6G and IE locks up. On my laptop with WinXP Pro, Core 2 Duo and 2G RAM with Flash 10 and IE7 I can draw about ~40 charts before available memory decreases to 160M and IE locks up. It seems that the only way to get the memory back is to close and then reopen the tab. Is this common to Flash or was this program poorly written? Would I have better luck with another browser

I have a Flash object that I need to embed in a page, and I've got it in a wrapper div that is styled to the exact width of the object: 323px. The problem I have is that when I zoom the whole page in the browser (for example, by using ctrl+mouse wheel, or ctrl++ or ctrl+-, the wrapper div zooms, while the flash object does not. Is there a way that I can specify a width in physical screen pixels, so when I zoom in or out, the wrapper div stays the size of the Flash object?

I'm using UILoaders to load different .swf files into the main .swf and am having a problem when I try to load a specific .swf file after a series of steps.I wanted to know if there was a way to see which is the current path that the application is in so that I can know if my relative paths are working or if I have to change them.I want to do something in the likes of this.path, or anything that works that way.

I would like to know if it's possible to tie Flash into physical devices, so the display is of course flash, but underlying input is from a physical device. Such as metal detector, water gauge, battery voltage, etc.

I need direct-to-printer functionality for my website, with the ability to distinguish a physical printer from a virtual printer (file).has this functionality via a native binary which must be installed by the user. I'd prefer to avoid thatI dug through that Java APIs a bit, and don't see anything that would let you determine physical vs virtual, except looking at the name (that seems prone to misidentification). It would be nice to be able to do it in Java, because I already know how to write Java applets. Failing that, is there a way to do this in Flash or Silverlight?

I tried to create similar animation like this: [URL] I found that it is not very easy to handle those physical motions just by using flash 8 e.g. So I wonder how do you guys handle it.
* Using macromedia flash only?
* Using some plugins (Fusekit, etc)?
* Using Flex?
* Using flash engine?
* Others...?

I have a Master.swf which loads in a game, lets call it A.swf. Once the game is finished, Master.swf then loads the home page, lets call it B.swf. I have this working.
I have a progress chart in my home page which tracks the user's progress in the game (like number of successful attempts, number of items collected etc etc). If a user completes the game, and the home page is loaded, then how do I get the newly updated info to display in the home page?

i have seen this done where a flash file knows what page it's on by some piece of code on the html page. It could have been php or java i don't know but i would like to know how to do that. That way i create one flash nav bar and it can tell what page it's on so i can make it so you can't click the page your on.Let say i have three pages Home, About us and Contact us and build a flash navigation for it. Some where in the HTML documents there is a code that tells flash what page it is. Flash reads this info and knows "oh i am on the Home page" or "i'm on the Contact us page" and will respond accordingly.

Im working on a project wherein I have the main fla tied to a document class entitled MyContent. The main fla consists of buttons and textfields, etc. External swfs are loaded when the buttons are pressed. My question is what code would I have to include in one of the external swfs to allow it to be able to change the content of one of the textfields, which was assigned dynamically in the MyContent class? The code within the MyContent class consists of a dynamic text field on the stage named longDesc and a string named long1. ex:
Code: longDesc.htmlText=long1; In the external swfs I have images that are enlarged on a click event and would like to be able to have the textfield in the MyContent classed changed as each image is selected through code in the external swf.

I have finally figured out how to preload, and gotten my main movie to load an external swf properly. My last hang up, is how to speak to that loaded swf, with a button added above it in the main timeline.So, my button is Nextbtn (added via addChild), and my swf is titled "about_mov.swf", when it is loaded, it goes to frame 10 and stops, what I want to happen, is when you click the NextBtn, that loaded swf advances to frame 11. Just not sure how to reference it properly, and hping i can get a quick solution on it.

I have a flash container that loads other flash files that have been made in Adobe Captivate, (essentially just normal SWF files) and on top of that I have other SWF widget files that I have created as it's children to extend default Captivate functionality. So essentially i have 3 'levels' of loaded SWF's.Container -> Captivate SWF -> WidgetThe problem lies in the middle - I don't know how Captivate is arranging its variables, events and loaded children since I don't have access to it's code. What I want to do, is to get my container SWF communicating with the Widget one and vice versa, but I can't get the hiearchy working... I can send values to the "stage" via the widget, but not vice versa.
So firstly, since I don't have the SWF code -- Is there a way to list all variables inside a child or parent so I can work this out?- Is there a way I can tell when a child or parent is triggering an event? (especially when I don't know the names/functions of the event)- and is there any easier way I could be going about this that i'm not seeing?

I have loaded an AS2 swf inside another AS2 swf using MovieClipLoader. I have no control(cannot edit) over the child swf. Is there a way I can communicate with the child swf from the parent swf. The child swf is not accepting any LocalConnection Objects. Can I call a method in the child swf some other way?

I need to connect to a web service and call back xml data and all I get so far is undefined
My code looks like the following:
Code:
import mx.services.WebService;
blackBox_mc._visible = false;
myWebService = new WebService("http://link_to_webservice");
[Code]....
Is there anything wrong with my web services call? At the moment when it connects I just want a box to turn on and then later on find a way of splitting up the xml data and producing results.

I'm trying to call a function from a class that I've instantiated on the main timeline from another class that I've also instantiated on the timeline.The function I'm trying to call adds a line to a string that acts as a game terminal so that even if the game glitches for someone without the source code, it would be possible to read the variable changes and functions called. (it also doubles up as an input for unlocking characters and levels that are otherwise hidden)Main Timeline:
Code:
import britland.Character;
import game.terminal;
var GameTerm=new Terminal();[code]....
I've tried both "flash.display.DisplayObject.stage" and "this.parent.parent" here after discovered that "_root" has been removed and "root" doesn't work in the same way.

Can I have an instance of one class call a function in the instance of another class if the first class was instantiated in the second class? Essentially this:
Code:
//Class 1
public class main
{
var helper:Helper;
[code]...
All I can think of is have both main and Helper extend displayObject,do addChild() and use parent/child to communicate between the two. This seems superfluous though. Or I suppose it could also be possible to call a static function, but that seems too limiting.
