I wrote an app that uses the stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight to position various elements. It works beautifully when I run the swf in the standalone player, but when I upload it to a site and view it in the browser the positioning is all wrong!

I have a bottom bar on a site that has he following code: nav_menu.menu_bars._y = 0; But I want it to be at the top of the stage. Sorry for such a noob question, but how do it? I've tried nav_menu.menu_bars._y = -600; but when the browser is resized it obviously moves down the page. Is there a bit of code to keep it at top of the stage?
View 1 RepliesI developed a flash application. in which I load pictures with XML, on these pictures I apply a mask via a method ( because the mask has to be different for certain cases) Flash doesn't show any errors. Everything looks normal when the browser is on 100%, but when I zoom in with the browser. The position gets screwed. The images loaded via the Loader Class all scale like they are supposed to, but the mask stays the same size and it's position get's screwed
View 0 Repliesbasically, I've loaded an .swf into an empty movie clip (myContainer_mc) which is itself located in another mc called loop_mc on the main stage and positioned it with this code:
Code:
var lp:Object = new Object();
lp.onResize = function() {
loop_mc._y = Stage.height-275;
[code]....
When I test the website in flash (ctrl+enter) everything looks perfect and works right, however when I view the website in a browser the movie is dragged all the way to the bottom of my page and mostly hidden beneath the footer.
I'm having an issue with getting external .swf's to load and position properly in my full browser flash site. I used a template I created for an XML slideshow which worked perfectly, but now the positioning and stage listener doesn't seem to work properly.
Here is the AS in frame one of the stage. Content is to be externally loaded into an MC called "container". The problem is, the container is not showing up initially until I resize the browser or .swf window, and when it does show up, the registration point is all wrong. I put the loadMovie script on a button since it was not loading at all with a simple loadMovie script on a keyframe. This seems to load the movie properly, but once it's loaded, not only is it positioned to the bottom right of the screen, it doesn't move at all when I resize the browser!

/////////////// Full Browser Control
//no scale
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I'm trying to open a new browser window with center positioning and a size of w=725 and height=600 with a scrollbar. I'd like to be able to click the button from the flash site and open another site in this window. What is the best way to do this using AS2? I found this script on the adobe site but haven't been able to get it to work with the on (press):
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.adobe.com','win','height=200,width=300,toolbar =no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
But also this doesn't address the position on the screen where the window opens. In the AS1 it seem to work ok with something like openWinCentre.
I am sure that I am missing something simple but I am doing an overhaul of a flash chat application that I wrote a few years back.I have everything humming along in Actionscript 3 and it works well when I test the .swf in Flash CS3 Pro but when I publish it and view it in the browser, I get no joy.I can see the flash plug-in retrieving the crossdomain.xml in my web server's root directory but in the browser, the XMLSocket Object fails to connect I installed flashpolicy server that is responding on port 843, but again, through the browser, the XMLSocket Object fails to connect.I have tried both Firefox and Safari browsers with the same result.I have swapped out the XMLSocket Object for the Socket Object and I am able to connect to my socket server, from within Flash CS3, but not from a browser.
View 3 RepliesI have one main SWF, called `top.swf` which loads about five other SWFs.`top.swf` first loads an XML file with the URLs of the SWFs, then it attempts to load the SWFs. The URLS for the SWF files are absolute.Currently, everything works within the Flash CS3 IDE. The SWF files are loaded and displayed, and the SWF files load additional external assets (Bitmaps).
When I test the application in the browser, it haults. I think it is stopping at the loading of the SWFs, but it is not throwing an IOErrorEvent, so the URLs are correct.In both the IDE and the browser, I am using the same URL information. It is all under http://localhost/.One thing that is different is that I am using a custom class to load the XML and SWF files and then they are returned to the main Document class.
*Edit*I believe I have pinpointed the problem to this class. The class runs fine but does not seem to reach the method called `singleLoaded()`.
Code:
package mtm.net
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.errors.IOError;

Okay, well I've tested the MultiLoader class above in a separate test app and it works fine loading the SWFs. There are 5 SWFs that are being loaded.I have now discovered that only 3 of the SWFs are being loaded, so the _totalLoaded variable in MultiLoader never reaches the value of _totalToLoad.
I've made an AS3 application loading and manipulating some XML data. The application works but there are some errors in the Output panel I'm unable to get rid of. But when I publish to HTML they also show up in FireFox.How can I flag them as non crusal and prevent them from popping up. Or even better correct and remove them?

I've created a Flash file that reads from several different xml files and displays them when requested. When I run the Flash player, (by pressing Command-Space within Flash), it all works flawlessly. But when I open it within a browser, only one of the xml files loads, the other two just spin away on the preloader.I have another Flash file that is doing the same thing. A click on a scrolling new list should take you to another web page. In Flash Player it works fine, but from a Browser nothing happens

View 1 RepliesMy project works fine in the flash player. However when I upload it online and try to play it in the browser it becomes slow to the point of crashing. It seems to work on chrome, it super slow on IE, and it completely crashes Firefox. It is difficult to debug since it takes a while for me to repetitively upload to the server. What would cause this kind of slow down? Could it be that I have a large number of embedded files using Flashpunk?
View 2 RepliesI've been developing a game that uses hitTestPoint to determine a collision between an ball and a shape. This method has been working fine if I just test the swf in flash but as soon as it's embed in a browser the hitTestPoint stops function.
View 2 RepliesI have created a painting app and when the user want's to save his drawing he simply hits the save button and a dialog pops up - or should do.
When testing locally on dev machine it's no problem but whenever the app is loaded in a browser it won't work. Even if I load the local SWF file in a browser it won't work.
The following code is what I use to save the file and as said it works fine locally but whenever it goes into a browser it dosen't.The save dialog simply never pops up.
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(canvas.width, canvas.height);
bitmapData.draw(canvas);

View 1 RepliesIt rarely happened, I use a flash in exe type to access url in local server. It usually success to access the url. When it fail to access the url, open the ie to access the browser. the url works. After using browser, flash success to access the url. The url would return the JSON content. I use URLLoader to load url, and the return error is no responding when it happen.
If the error happen, it would not access the url even restart the computer.
I am aware of the new FlashBuilder 4.5 mobile application settings. I am aware that it uses an enhanced version of AIR to make apps that work well on mobile devices, which would normally mean that I can't have it run in the browser. I'm also aware that I should be able to get the enhanced performance if I create a swf with the correct compiler settings, and use the correct base components for my application. What are the correct base components? Spark or MX or something else? What are the correct compiler settings? I need the application to work for both desktop users, and mobile users who visit the website through their flash enabled browser.
There are three important features.
Being able to load a file from the mobile device/computer.
Being able to have the softkeyboard activated when needed.
Good mobile performance
Just thought I'd share that after the windows update I did this week, the browser cache blocking trick described in many places where you put ?r=<randomnumber> at the end of a URL no longer works. Not exactly sure what happened, but it now causes a URL not found error, at least for me when I'm loading local files off my disk.

I have a simple sendAndLoad XML request that works perfectly on 95% of the computers I have used. I have check crosssite stuff and everything i can think of. Its not browser specific ,os specific, or flash version specific. On these computers I can run the same flash file on a standalone player and everything works flawlessly but inside of any browser it makes the request for the XML file and stops right there. After a while like 10 minutes flash gets tired of waiting and returns not found. I can navigate to the xml file via the same browser. Upgrading Flash doesn't help.The only thing consistent is it only happens to windows computers. The requested URL is the complete URL. I have changed this and still the same.IE or Firefox still the same. Version 9 player in both. I have montiored network traffic and see the request made and maybe a response but flash has moved.
View 1 RepliesWhen I run the flash player (from flashdevelop) the images are loaded and everything is fine.But when I run the swf from a browser the requests are sent (using chrome's tools for programers - network tab) but nothing is loaded. The size/content column shows 0/actual size of the file

I'm having trouble connecting to a remote persistent shared object. When I run from the Flash authoring environment it works. But when I run it from a browser it doesn't. The code attaches an event listener to the sync event, and then calls so.connect(nc).
As mentioned - it works inside Flash authoring only. In both cases the connection to the server is successful. I also tried setting client.readAccess to "/" in the application.onConnect function of the server-side code - but it doesn't help. (Everything was written by me including the server-side application code. I have full control and access to the server).
Also, I can see the remote object exists on the server in the admin console.And as mentioned, when running inside Flash CS5 - the onsync gets triggered after connecting to the shared object.But, the same code under a browser - doesn't trigger the onsync.The SharedObject.getRemote method on the client side returns an object on both occasions.

I won't post the file because I'm using someone else's character and it's fine with them, but I doubt it should be here - this is the only code that's a problem, though.
I've been creating this banner: [url removed] which accesses an xml document, replaces some texts etc, but as soon as you open it up in a browser (like with the dropbox link I pasted) the banner only loops on the first movie clip. Put in another way: The banner you see is looping through only the first movie clip. But the swf file (and the html file) work fine from the local path of my computer.

View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem with pathways. I have a main sfw called "loadgallery.swf" and upon clicking buttons in that movie, it loads other swf galleries into a container called "movie."

I'm setting up a functional test suite for an application that loads an external configuration file. Right now, I'm using flexunit's addAsync function to load it and then again to test if the contents point to services that exist and can be accessed.
The trouble with this is that having this kind of two (or more) stage method means that I'm running all of my tests in the context of one test with dozens of asserts, which seems like a kind of degenerate way to use the framework, and makes bugs harder to find. Is there a way to have something like an asynchronous setup? Is there another testing framework that handles this better?
I've recently started practising test driven development - thus far I've been working on a library project, so I've organised my FlexUnit tests in a separate FlexBuilder 3 project, linking against my library's swc.Now I'm working on a web app and wondering how best to organise the tests for this. At the moment I've put them in a src/test package in the project I'm testing, with the test runner application at the same level as the default application. Is this the best way to do it, or should I have a separate test project and link in the source for the application I'm testing?
View 1 RepliesI have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.
