In a game, how would I go about keeping records if a user is online or offline? I know when they logged in it could set something in the database that would indicate that they are online, however how would I know when they logout in any other method than pressing the "logout" button? Say if they just closed their browser..

tell if a user is online, once they log in I set something in the database that say's they're online, when they log out change that. And set something up so they will d/c after 5-10 minutes of inactivity in case they log off any other way besides hitting "log out" However, I'm not exactly sure how I would do this, because the only way that I can think of wouldn't work, because say if they just closed their browser, then it would stop running my application, and thus stop running my check to check for inactivity..
how I can make sure if a user is already logged in accurately?

View 1 RepliesBoth F4V and MP4 files have "video/mp4" as their MIME type. However, I'm working on a Wordpress blog where I want uploaded F4V files to be shown using a Flash video Player, and MP4 files using the HTML5 [video] tag. Obviously, I can't tell them apart using their MIME type. Is there any other way I could do it, aside of the file extension?

View 1 RepliesFrom my main timeline actions, how can I tell a dynamic text box inside a movieclip to update? I have a movie clip with the dynamic text box called catalog. The instance name for the text box is catalogtext. On the main time line, I am using a loop to repeatedly attach the catalog movie clip. I want the dynamic text to show the value of i, and each time the movie clip is reproduced, increase by 1 each time.
Here is my current attempt:
for (i=1; i<=9; i++) {
container.attachMovie("catalog","catalog"+i+"_mc", i+200);
mycatalog_mc = container["catalog"+i+"_mc"];
[code]....
Everything works fine, but the text box won't show the value of i. I must not be calling it correctly?
I have a shell swf that is loading a swf. How do you have the loaded swf tell the parent loader to unload itself after the loaded swf finishes playing?
View 3 RepliesI have a parent movie that loads a swf(events.swf) file into a movie clip with an instance name of container. (container.loadMovie("events.swf");) It loads fine and seems to work great.
events.swf has a movie clip inside of it called design_mc that contains the content. In that movie clip I have a button that needs to target the parent movie and tell it to gotoAndPlay("eventsout"); which is on the _root of the parent movie. However, anything I try will not target the parent movie. I've tried _parent, _parent._parent, _root, and even assigning the parent movie this._lockroot = true; . Nothing seems to target the parent movie.
I have a main movie(main.swf). I've loaded a movie into it(loaded.swf). I need the loaded movie to finish playing once a button is clicked in the main.swf. So basically i need something like
when a button in the main.swf is pressed, finish playing "loaded.swf"
Is there a way of telling a null value in the _droptarget property?
Basically I've got 9 draggable objects, and what I want them to do is if there is no _droptarget when you release the drag, flick back to it's riginal position.
I'm moving a movie clip using actionscript (as2) instead of a motion tween (because I want to save file size) and I have this code on the first frame of the main timeline ("stone" is the movieclip instance name) and it tells the movie clip how many pixels to move in the x direction:
Code:
xTargetstone = 600;
I have this code on the movie clip itself ("stone" is the mc instance name) to handle the actual moving of the movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xstone = getProperty(_root.stone, _x);
movestone = _root.xTargetstone - xstone;
setProperty(_root.stone, _x, xstone + (movestone/5));
}
The movement works fine, but the issue is that it starts out fast and then slows down over time (even though that amount of time is small). The result is that the movie clip seems to wiggle and vibrate before it stops. Is there a way for me to change the code so that it doesn't wiggle and vibrate? perhaps something with the math I'm just not totally understanding? I would like a nice consistent motion from start to finish, while being able to set the time it takes to move etc.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to keep my code succinct by naming my section labels the same as the buttons that navigate to them. I've also put the contents of each page in a movie clip of the same name with suffix _mc. The following code successfully traces the name of the movie clip, but how do I tell the compiler that I want to reference the movie clip whose name is held in the string, rather than the string itself.
function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent):void {
currentContent = currentLabel + "_mc";
trace(currentContent);
currentContent.alpha = 0;
gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
mainNav_mc.gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
I'm writing a Flex video player with a "slow advance" button, and my first approach is to simply toggle between play() and pause() on a timer. I'd like to say something like

video.play();
}
But I can't find anything like an 'isPlaying' property.
I have a movie called book_mc that is on scene1 the movie has several labels (red, green, blue, and yellow) in it's timeline. Also, on scene1 I have a button called book_but. If book_mc is on the label green of it's timeline. I want the button press of book_but to make it goto and play yellow. If book_mc is not on the green label of it' timeline I want the button press of book_but to make the timeline goto and play red.

View 1 RepliesI was thinking the other week - wouldn't it be great to have a flash clock that not only tells a classy analogue time but also, like a church clock, gives out bell noises when the hour is reached, an also chimes the number of hours the time corresponds too. So at 1pm/am it will chime once, and at midnight you get 12 chimes and so on, I'm sure you get my meaning. I'm not great when it comes to working with sound, infact I've never added much more than a custom click noise on a button. How to go about this? I've attached a nice church bell noise for y'all just incase.
