ActionScript 3.0 :: Progress Bar - Identify From Flash When The Document Has Loaded
Dec 22, 2009
I have a flash movie that loads pdf files in a new browser window when a button is selected. As some of the files are quite large I need to keep the attention of the user while it is loading and to this end I thought a progress bar would be suitable. My problem however is that I do not know if it is possible to identify from flash when the document has loaded. Are there any methods in ActionScript to achieve this?

Is there any way to display the playback progress of an external loaded .swf file BUT it is not made with timeline animation? I mean I used TweenMax for the animation on the loaded .swf and due to this the totalFrames method doesn't seem to work... Is there any solution for this? (I would prefer not to transform the .swf as an .flv cause I need the interactivity)
Part of my code so far is:
Code:
function swfLoaded(event:Event):void
{
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, trackPlayback);
}
[Code]....

I am trying to add CSS styles into a XML document which is loaded in flash.So, I am loading the CSS in actionscript, and applying a stylesheet in my textfield.
Now, what tag do I need to use in order to apply the classes of the CSS in different parts of my XML document? I tried using the span class but it didn't work.

I have a FLA (say Main.FLA) document class with a child MovieClip on the stage: into the child MovieClip I load other swf files: each of the files contains its own Document Class (every swf is a somewhat independent application, say quizzes and so on).For some reason I must use the Main document class to store data (scores or so) from the child swfs loaded into the Main swf. HOW do I reference the Main class? I can't find a way.[code]and dispatch an Event this way from the loaded swf document class to the Main class:[code]Now, first of all I don't know if this could even work. Secondly, I tried to make it work by adding an event listener to my Main class but id did not work.

Problem that I want to share with you is that I have two external swf. One is swf generated by Flex IDE and second one is generated by Flash IDE. When I load flex swf, loading progress output is not showing until the whole file is loaded. This problem is not presented when I load flash swf as you can see on this testing page 90.157.198.254/test/test.php.

in ActionScript 3, if I loop through the children of a movie clip, it will return a DisplayObjectContainer, which is a list of DisplayObjects. However, the AS3 typeof cannot identify MovieClip as MovieClip is now an object, instead of a data type. How can I correctly identify MovieClip?I found 3 solutions online: First set the MovieClip name to a specific name, then in the iterate process, check the name of children using child.name.indexOf("specificName") > -1
Solution 2:use child.hasOwnProperty("numChildren") to identify a MovieClip
Solution 3: use 3rd party plug-in like FlashDevelop

Basically, I'm making a very simple turn based battle game using ActionScript 2.0. I'm VERY new to code, with only very limited Visual Basic knowledge, so I'll happily admit I don't really know what I'm doing. I've got a start, but I decided to rewrite the entire thing because I wouldn't be able to cycle enemies and levels easily.I've spawned the same enemy twice using _root.attachMovie, and identified them as Enemy1 and Enemy2. After spawning them, I tried to make them identify themselves with:
_root.Enemy1.identify = "Enemy1"
_root.Enemy1.identify = "Enemy1"
Using the debugger, this apparently works (within the movieclip, they have a variable called identify which correctly labels them), yet when I try to use an if statement so I can put them in their own individual positions, it simply does not work; it skims straight over. The code I have within the movie clips is:
if (identify == "Enemy1") {
function poschange() {
[code]....
The poschange functions works fine for the player characters, it's just this if statement to identify which enemy it is apparently fails. So my question is: is there any easier way for a movie clip to identify its own ID so I don't have to use this method, or is there just something wrong with my code?

I'm trying to make a vote/poll application in Flash using Actionscript 3. Is there any way to generate a specific ID that is unique to each user? The only other option I can think of is using the IP address, which is less than ideal in many cases (college campuses, shared Internet access, etc.). It needs to be the same number every time it is run on the same PC, but different for each user.

The menu is a movieclip and within it i want to have buttons that control the timeline. The buttons however do not work as buttons when in the movie clip. is there anyway to make flash identify them as buttons within a movie clip?

I have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?

I have an existing Flash app that has a layer containing a square separated into 4 quadrants. A set of icons is provided to the user and he/she is asked to drag each icon into one of the quadrants. Does Flash/AS3 provide a way to create a grid (not necessarily DataGrid) that overlays the existing image? If so, how do I setup AS3 syntax to save the quadrant in which an icon is placed?

I am loading one swf into another using the Loader class, but when the child swf finishes loading and is added to the display list, its Document Class is not instantiated. I have a few trace statements that should execute when the object is created, but nothing is happening when loaded into the parent SWF. When I compile the child SWF on its own, the Document Class runs as expected.
So I'm wondering... how do I associate a child SWF's Document Class with Loader.content?

trying to get xml loaded from the external document class. I've tried several tutorials on this as well (although I think they are mostly for doing it within the timeline). This is in the main document class that is also doing a bunch of other stuff, but all the other stuff works.

How can I do that such that the value of progress may be taken from repMonitor.currentItem.threatLevel?

I'm trying to access an init method I've set in one of my document level classes.
Container Movie loads Main Movie, which has Main.as as its document class, but I want to do a few things before I show the actual content. Here are some functions in Container.as:
Code:
public function moveLogo(e:TimerEvent):void{
loadTxt.visible = false;
var logoMoveUp:Tween = new Tween(logoCont, "y", Back.easeIn, 221, -250, 1, true);
[Code].....
If I trace e.currentTarget.content.init on my EVENT.COMPLETE callback function, I get "function Function()" like I should.

I have a main movie with thumb movieclips that load new children and stops the main movie's animation. Within the child there is a close buttion that removes itself. I also wanted the close button to start the animation of the main movie again once it removed the child. Since I am using a document class to load everything for the main move, how can the close button from the loaded swf use a function from the main document class?

I'm using a PreLoader as a parent SWF that loads the actual website as a child SWF. In the website SWF, the child SWF, will MovieClip(root) still work and refer to it's own root, or the PreLoader's root? And would I still access the websitite's document class (the child's document class), through MovieClip(root)? What if both files have a document class?So my main question is how do document classes and MovieClip(root) behave in the scenario when you have:
Parent SWF - document class, MovieClip(root)
|
Child SWF (loaded by parent) - document class, MovieClip(root)
