I have a file that loads in several flvs.At certain points during the flvs, I need to trigger events on other timelines.Right now, I have them set up as listeners using enterFrame to detect playheadTime.This works, but is too hard on the CPU that is running the file.Is there something similar to VideoEvent.COMPLETE that could trigger events at other specific points in the flv?
View 2 RepliesI made a map for big shopping center in flash that uses tooltips to display the shop names when moused over. Is there anyways I can make a url(html) from any of those shops refer to its specific movie clip? I am askingt because the shops wishes that its customers or site visitors should easily see the location of the shop when they click " show shop location on map"
View 4 Replieshow to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do the following without setting up an event listener for each textfield...
I have a bunch of input textfields on the stage (50+).
I want flash to gotoAndStop at frame 5 whenever ANY of the text fields have something typed in them.
Possible to do without setting up 50 event listeners? Is it possible to just set up one event listener that is trigerred when any input field on the stage is changed?
I am trying to build a simple application. The first phase is selecting to upload a file from the user desktop or from the site's gallery.
The question is if the user chose to upload from the gallery, say, go to an PHP page gallery, choose a photo and then redirected to the Flash app. How would you trigger the Flash up to know there was an image chosen and it should load it?
Does PHP send a variable or create an XML based on a choice and pass it via Flash variable, or does it need JavaScript to tell Flash that if the Flash var is not empty run this function?
This code works fine in my IDE but when I test it in a browser, the Event.COMPLETE function appears to trigger twice. I put a throw error command in to make it show up in Flash debug Player and the error gets thrown twice. I've even done a string search through the code to see if I've added more than one listener but no luck.
ActionScript Code:
private function downloadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
_s.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, downloadCompleteHandler); // Clean up
_s.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloaderBar); // Clean up

My code is contained in a movie clip that plays an animation on roll over and reverses the animation on roll off. The reverse uses a timer that backs up a frame on the each time event. It works for the most part.
Problem: I tried to use watchTimer.stop(); to end the timer. But the eventListener that tracks timer events keeps triggering which I don't want.
Code:
var watchTimer:Timer = new Timer(30);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, foldUp);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, foldDown);[code]....
the code below is placed on one frame of the main timeline...it works, but apparently continually triggers the "gotoAndPlay" action over and over again. How can an ENTER_FRAME event be made to play a moive clip such as "staged_kiss_mc" only once?
The playhead on the main timeline rests in this single frame for a while; it would be great if "staged_kiss_mc" were to only play once, when the playhead first enters this frame, rather than apparently repeating continually...is there code to stop this repetition?

I am trying to write a custom class for image loading.
public function imageLoader(url:String, mc:MovieClip):void {
loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(url));

I ll get the events in these listeners in the loadImage class. But i want to trigger a function in the calling class or root or stage, when these loader events are fired.
I'm attempting to use a custom event and cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.The event just doesn't seem to be either triggering or received.I borrowed the code from the internet, but I only know enough about custom events to sort of figure out what the code is doing.I have a movieclip inside of another movieclip.I need to close the child movieclip when a button on the child mc is pressed.I'm attempting to listen for a custom "close button clicked" event on the parent mc.[code]again...the event just never happens.I never see the output of the trace in the parent movieclip.I do see the output of the trace "OK button pressed" from the child movieclip though.
View 1 RepliesI've a MovieClip named "Player" that contains three MovieClips (one on each frame): "Idle", "Walk", and "Attack". Idle and Walk are working as intended�when Player is on the appropriate frame, the animation cycles constantly; however, I am having trouble with my Attack animation.I want the Attack animation to only play through completely one time then throw an event so I can resume either the Idle or Walk animation. Is there an event that fires at the end of a MovieClip's timeline, or is there a better way to do this?
View 5 RepliesI'm struggling to move from AS2 to AS3 and trying to mimic an old AS2 trick. When the playhead hits a frame on my mc's timeline with this code:

While trying to load a Bitmap onto a SWFLoader the Event.COMPLETE event is not being triggered
mySWFLoader.source = new Bitmap(Bitmap(someEvent.content).bitmapData);
but if I use a URL as source the complete event is triggered:

Is there some kind of restriction while using Bitmap as source?

i have some dynamic text fields getting data from XML. I can hilite their links with rendering as html and using css without a problem. What I want to do ise, triggering some events with them in rollover states, such as popping small information windows... I've made a thorough search for asfunction on the net & kirupa, but asfunction triggers on click, which doesn't really help. Another solution i have in mind is detecting what word is cursor on and taking acting through this, and found a .fla file mentioned in forums that does this, but again, it needed to click on the word (it used selection method, therefore textfield needed to be selectable). Yet another approach could be dynamically creating transparent buttons over the links, but i don't have the slightest idea how to get the x & y coordinates of a text string on screen. It's easy to get the location of the text field, but how can we get the exact loc of string in it? It was possible in director as far as i remember, but don't know about flash..

Our testing department found that my flash menu sometimes doesnt work after going back to a page by clicking Back button in browser (Firefox).
It happens rarely and randomly, yet still it happens.
i cant see any pattern in its behavior and any reason in it.

i've tested this in every way i could think of,
it gets ROLL_OVER event, but not CLICK event.
ive also tested it with hasEventListener and it always has. its just not triggering function.
BUT clicking anywhere on page outside flash makes it work again.
Question: whose fault is this? Flash? Drupal? Firefox? God?
UPDATE: it looks like its caused by <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>.
Firefox seem to have problem with that.

I've scanned through the forums, but can't seem to find an answer to my question. I'm trying to move (tween) a movie clip 800 pixels along the x axis (horizontally) when a every time button is clicked. I don't want to move the movie clip to the 800 "x" pixel mark. Yet, I can't seem to move the clip an additional 800 pixels whenever the button is pressed again - it keeps starting from the original spot. I am new to ActionScript...
My code is below:
btnBottom1.addEventListener
(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, playHandler);
function playHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
import fl.transitions.Tween
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var twTeen:Tween = new Tween(mcbottomFlap1, 'x', Elastic.easeOut, mcbottomFlap1.x, +800, 3, true);
}
How do I listen/respond to a specific cue point by name in AS3?
I have this listener which runs a function as soon as a cue point is reached, but I can't figure out how to run different functions for different cue points.
center_flv.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, interactive);
Whenever i want to declare a point with a specific value, it takes me three lines:[code]It isn't a huge amount of effort, but i'm becoming tired of doing this hundreds of times. Is there an easier way?I've tried doing something like this:[code]but that gives me an error, because it only accepts one input parameter.how can i do this simple operation in one line ?This is also important to me because i'm making a fair bit of use of static classes, (non instanced, making use of static public vars) where (afaik) i cannot run code. I want to be able to declare global point variables in a static class, without having to use some external class to set the values.

View 7 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is make a dial-type of interface, where you click on a point on the edge of a circle and that point will rotate to another point at the top of the circle. What I can't figure out is how the make "Point B" rotate to "Point A", where "Point A" is always fixed at the top of the circle and "Point B" (and Point C and Point D, etc...) are located along different points on the edge of the circle. I'm using the tween function to rotate, so what I need to figure out is how to get the difference in the rotation between the two points.

View 1 RepliesI have a slider which I want to use to rotate an image around it's center. This normally is easy but my problem is the clip is made dynamically and the size changes so I can't use the default registration point and I need to assign the center point before I rotate it. I found the rotateAroundExternalPoint function which rotates around a center point fine. How to get it to rotate to a certain angle and then have it stop at that angle. The rotateAroundExternalPoint increments the rotation rather then allowing me to set the angle to rotate to. Is there anyway that I can set what angle to rotate my clip to? It right now increments the rotation by the x coordinate of my slider bar (slider_position.x).
Code:
import flash.geom.Matrix;
import fl.motion.*;
var mat:Matrix = clip.transform.matrix;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,EnterFrame3);
function EnterFrame3(event:Event) {
var center_point_x = clip.height / 2
var center_point_y = clip.width / 2 //
MatrixTransformer.rotateAroundExternalPoint(mat,center_point_x,center_point_y,slider_position.x);
clip.transform.matrix = mat;
}
I'd like to start playing a web-based video at a specific time, say 2 minutes in, even if the video hasn't been downloaded that far. I thought I could just "seek" to that time but that apparently only works when the video is buffered first.
So for example, this:
Code:
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.play("[URL]");
ns.seek(123);
video.attachVideo(ns);
Seems to work if you have the video cached or buffered or whatever, but if you don't it gives the "NetStream.Seek.InvalidTime" error, which makes sense. I want to know if it's possible to start playing a video at a specific time, even if the video hasn't loaded up to that point.

View 4 RepliesI have a textfield in flex with a focusOut event on it. I can type in the box and in Firefox and Chrome when I click elsewhere on the page (outside the flash element) the focusOut event will be triggered. However in IE8, the texfield never loses focus when you click elsewhere on the page, outside the flash object. I've tried with focusManager.browserMode set to true and false with no difference (I believe that effects incoming focus anyway).
