ActionScript 3.0 :: Preloading Videos To Be Visible As Curtain Opens?
Oct 22, 2010
My client wants to display some videos which should appear behind a curtain. As the curtain is drawn back, the user should see the videos playing behind it. Right now my client wants 6 videos running on the screen side by side (not just the videos ready to play, but actually playing simultaneously). When I jump to the frame where those videos are, I see the curtain animating, but there's nothing behind it.
Only after about 40-60 seconds the videos start appearing. The client wants for the videos to be visible as the curtain opens, not have a gap of nothing while they load. Even is I uncheck the autoPlay option for the videos I get the big delay. Is there a way to preload all these videos before the curtain is drawn? The videos are 6 F4V files, each about 1.5MB. I'm using the FLVPlayback component (6 instances on the stage, one for each video).

Basically there are 3 photos, 2 set to 0% alpha and 1 set to 100% and each have a mini page icon which changes the photo that is visible. i when the side bar opens i want it to find out which photo is visible and have the appropriate icon on rollover state (grow) so you always know which of the photos are visible.

I'm having a heck of a problem with the startDrag function in Flash right now. I'm trying to make a draggable and/or clickable curtain rope, which works now to a certain extent. When the user single clicks on the rope, it opens/closes itself. When a user clicks and drags the rope part of the way, it opens/closes itself the rest of the distance. A user can also click and drag the rope the whole way if they like. Everything does what it is supposed to when a user single clicks. If a user double clicks, the curtain is permanently draggable, which is obviously not what I'm going for.Variable used to determine whether the curtain goes up or down
drag = 1
// Starts the dragging[code].....

My question is: Set parentSprite.visible = false will make all children in parentSprite all invisible, right? And is there any way to just make parentSprite itself invisible without effecting it's children?

I want to click on an object and make it appear and disappear. As the object is rectangular, I figured putting a white button the same size on a white background on a layer underneath the object would do this, but I can't seem to make it happen.I'm a complete novice, frustrated as I've been trying to achieve this all day and I'm sure it should be pretty simple, but could you give me the idiots guide. I know how to name an instance, make an object, script in actions on a separate layer. I would like to draw the button myself and give it an instance rather than drag it off the button component (as I can't work out how to make the component button white, change its size etc.!)

Code:
my_Dyn_Txt1._visible = false
cb1.onRelease=function()[code]....
When the checkbox (cb1) is clicked the "my_Dyn_Txt1" is visible. The problem I'm having is - when I move forwad and back in my frames the checkboxes which were clicked are not visible due to
Code:
my_Dyn_Txt1._visible = false
How can I make ("my_Dyn_Txt1"), a clicked checkbox STAY VISIBLE even after I move forwad and back in my FLA frames?

Okay, this should be relatively easy but I'm running into errors. My main character is visible in the beginning of the game (where the main menu is) and because I coded it so that all of the enemies don't spawn unless the main character is visible, the enemies spawn too. As a result, if you stay at the main menu for long enough, the score continues to go up, the health goes down when enemies attack, etc.

My swf has a black coloured stage.
But when I open the html page in which the swf is embedded, as a full-screen pop-up window, using javascript, the stage colour of the swf is always grey - not the black I set. This happens with whatever colour I set as the stage colour.

I am building a website and have this URL request within a .swf which is embedded within an html page.var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest ('Profile.html'); As you can see here, it is linking to another page within my website, but this opens in a separate tab in all browsers. Is there a line of code to add which will make sure is opens in the same tab?

[url]...
Currently, it opens to the first image in the set. I think it would be better if it opened to the first page of the thumbnail browser instead, to let people that are clicking on it know that there are more images in the set than just the one. Otherwise, they would have to know to click on the little "additional guides" icon in the lower right corner.

I build a .fla project, and publish a .swf.
If I double click the .swf to play, it opens two .swfs, the one I'm double clicking and one from a previous project.
If I drag the .swf directly to the stand alone Flash Player then no problem, just the one movie.
I could deal with this except now I've sent a client a .swf, and when he double clicks it opens the .swf he clicked on, and one from a previous project I sent that is on his hard drive.

I currently have a website that has a photo gallery. The home page has a link to the actual photo gallery. I'm using the (getURL) to open the photo gallery in a new window, however the new window opens up to the same size as the home page. I would like to shrink down the window size of the photo gallery so the user can still see some of the home page behind the new window.
I know javascript can take care of this problem, but I was wondering if there is a way to do it with Flash? I just need to specify the size of the new window when it opens.

I am having a strange issue. I have many flash projects on this computer. On my current project, when I do a test movie from flash, it plays the swf no problem. When I open the published html file, again, no problem. However, when I double click on the swf from the finder to play it in flash player, flash player opens it, but it also opens some random projector (.app file) that has been previously published from another project. I would have tried trashing flash player prefs, but I can't find them.

i have an index page (html) that contains an swf and a hyperlink. the hyperlink is set to skip the intro swf and open the main html page. there is no problem there. what i have been trying to find is an event listener that waits till the swf is finished and then goes to the main.html. i found an example that does what i want, but instead of opening a url it uses trace and shows me a message.
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
function showMessage(e:Event):void {
trace("Finished");

I have a movie and after the intro the enter button takes me to the next frame (11) and stops. there i have a drop down menu with button instances on each of the drop downs. The drop down is in a movie clip so i am using on (release) {_root.gotoAndPlay("s1"); } on the button instances to take me to root level to say frame 12 and stops. Each button instance has a different frame label to go to, s1, s2 etc - the idea being that back at root level i can have the content of each of the buttons on each of the frame labels (s1 at frame 12 , s2 at frame 13 etc) .... this works fine except the drop down menu in each of these new frames retains the action script on the drop down button instances - this is fine for all the buttons that will take me to another content page at root level - what i dont want is the AS to remain on the button for the page i am currently on - cos if you click on it it takes you back through the intro etc to get to its frame label again .

I have both CS3 and CS4, I now work only in CS4 with some exceptions. If I open CS4 start a new project then save after working in it the file saves with the cs3 icon. When I doubleclick the file to open it defaults back to opening in CS3.Only way to have files default and open in CS4 is to choose the icon of the CS3 (which is really a CS4 file) and choose open with other, choose the CS4 app and click on it so it opens in CS4 and then only does the icon changes to a cs4 icon.

I was asked to edit a completed website. I was given the .swf file. I decompiled it using SoThink and converted it to a flash file. When I opened it in Adobe Flash CS4, only the intro portion is viewable in the timeline.
When I test the movie the entire website plays out with no problems. But the timeline only shows the intro/home page. I need to edit other content in the scene.

all my getURLs launch the browsers fine, but if the user allready has a window open, the browser launches behind the projector causing the user to minimize and tab over to the web browser. this only seems to happen on a pc.is there any way to attach something to either the first frame of the flash to close any open browser windows? i know this is a bit of an annoyance for me, as well as many others, from a usablitiy standpoint, but this is the last tweak my client is not budging on.[code]
