I am trying to create a video that loads the videos stred in a directory, depenant on the users id etc. To do this, I am using php. However, I cannot then get the php to convert to xml within the actionscript:

I have a main.swf file. In first frame i load a background slideshow with this code:
[Code]...
My problem is that when the site loads the 1st time and click from the menu to go to the 2nd frame (1st content page) then i have to wait at about 3-4 seconds to load my html content. The same for the 3rd frame. If these two content pages load for the 1st time, then the pages open immediately. What can i do for this? Is there a way to open this content pages more quickly, or place a loader, and with what code?
I wanna create some sort of actionscripted typewriter which loads its content from an external file, but i can't seem to get the code to work properly!
This is what i got till now:
2 layers:
- one with a textfield called 'textbox'
- one with the actions
A textfile which contains: waarde=Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!
4 frames, in the first frame i load the textfile this way:
[AS]q = 1;
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("data.txt",this);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]...
The problem is that when i assign the value of "text" in the first frame this way : <-- text = "Wannaloadtextfromanexternaltextfile!"; --> (witout the comment tags ofcourse) the typewriter works fine but when i load the var from the textfile nothing happens, the trace works fine and displays the contents of the var but the typewriter displays nothing.
the weird this is that when i add this after all the code in frame 1 it works fine: text = "azerty";
But when i add this it doesn't: text = "a";
So when i overwrite the var with the azerty value suddenly it contains the correct value in the next frame, when i assign only one character to it the script doesn't work anymore.
have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:
Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />
and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:
Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....
but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :
Code:
this._lockroot = true;
in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
i have an xml gallery where every thumbnail is supposed to load a video on onRelease function. I tryed the easiest way i figured, since i�m not used to work in as2, but it works only a bit: It loads the first video you click ok, but it won�t load another one. This is my code:
Code:
function callFullImage(myNumber) {
myURL = myImages[myNumber].attributes.full_url;
var my_player = new FLVPlayback();
[Code].....
Every time I try to make one ...the preloader loads with the content instead of playing and checking to see if all the content has been loaded and then continuing.
View 1 RepliesI have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.Can someone point me to an answer or tell me how to do it? I have found a way in JavaScript but this only works on plain images, not swf files.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make an empty movieclip (content) that loads an external swf move above some other movieclips after is is fully loaded, and another movieclip (stage_mc) hits frame 25. It needs to load behind and the stage_mc, then move above it when stage_mc hits frame25. I tried this code on the main timeline, and the main timeline is one frame.
[Code]...
and it's not working. I've also tried it without the this.onEnterFrame, and another variation on the content mc.None of these things are working.
I am making a full flash site in which one container clip on the main timeline loads all the pages. I want to place a tween on this container so that once the content loads it animates as it enters. Code below.
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*

I am using a content loader through AS3 to load some images and then later pushed into an array. I have pushed my image file paths in to an array (arrayImages). But when the loader loads the images it doesn't load the images based on the order they are listed in the arrayImages, instead they were loaded based on their file sizes. Is there anyway that these can be loaded in the order they were pushed to the array? Below is the code that i use to load the images.
function funcLoadImages() {
for (var i:uint=0; i<arrayImages.length; i++) {
var ldrImageLoader:Loader=new Loader();
ldrImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(arrayImages[i]));ldrImageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE,pushLoadedImagetoAnotherArray);
}
}
i have a small requirement. like i am currently working on a games website in which whenever i open the game a flash preloader needs to open first and hide the game file while the flash preloader loads. once the flash preloader completes its loading then immediately the game content need to display. i heard it can be done using javascript,ajax.
View 1 Repliesi have this code on an empty movieclip that loads the external swf.
[Code]...
frame 38 has the empty movieclip hidden by another movieclip saying loading. frame 39 is where the loading movieclip disapeers. but its not working.
what i have got is an external XML file that loads the news data into flash where it is there parsed and assigned to a dynamic text box and styled with a style sheet. Through trace() if found the xml gets loaded properly but when i upload it to a webserver it does not always load. Many times the variable just reads out undefined. If i refresh it a few times it will eventually load. This is not acceptable of course. It needs to try until it loads. I thought i had the code to make this happen but Im afraid im mistaken.here is the code, its inside the first frame of a simple swf with only the dynamic text box.
Code:
stop();
trace("1");

This swf file (attached) will load the xml content (rss) when I Publish Preview it in Flash CS3 (AS2), but not in the browser. This is an aggravating problem and think that it may be flash stopping it from accessing the content but frankly I have no clue.
View 7 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 Pro. and actionscript 2.0 for my flash documents.I have a flashfileA.swf which is a picture of a rotation shoe (view here)it has a slider bar that calls the action to zoom while rotating. if you checked it out, it works fine.
the code I have for the slider is this:
Code:
this.perc=0 ;
handle.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag(false,0,0,375,0);
[code]....
so I have flashfileB.swf that I load that flashfileA.swf into. Initially, I was getting pages of pages of "Security Sandbox Violations".
I added the code:
Code:
System.security.allowDomain("*");
in flashfileB.swf and that seemed to get rid of all of the violations but the slider doesn't zoom the shoe when I'm using it in flashfileB.swf I need to get the zoom to work while it's loaded within flashfileB.swf and I'm assuming it has to do with the way I coded it.
I am cutting my teeth with some actionscript.My knowledge of programming and AS is limited but I am getting familiar with the language.In my fla i am using this code as a custom document class:[code]We managed to get it to preserve the aspect ratio when it detects a RESIZE event.Now, the fla file is empty. I want to use the swf this actionscript generates to call several different .flv files.The problem is, I don't know how to add functionality (for instance, a button) that is placed on top of the video. Seems the video is loaded ontop of everything else.
View 6 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 and have linked to a video that hosted on a web server with one of the preloaded flash video skins (ArcticExternalAll). When the page loads the video plays without any problems, but I would like to make it so the user decides when the video starts rather than it automatically starting when the page loads. Is there any way to do this?
View 3 RepliesUpdate: Turns out this is undocumented behaviour of the NetStream class - NetStream loads relative to the swf, as opposed to URLRequest which loads relative to the HTML doc...annoying.I am having a strange issue where loading an FLV file using thefl.video.VideoPlayer class that comes with CS4: Adobe docs hereUsually when loading external content into flashplayer, the path is relative to the HTML page that the swf is embedded in - but when I try and load an FLV using the VideoPlayer class the player looks for a path relative to the swf, not to the HTML (as you would expect).
eg:
My file setup is:index.html (which contains the swf)swf/my-video-player.swfvideo/my-video.flv

I'm a new Flash user, trying to build a fairly intricate website by newbie standards. I have a basic understanding of Actionscript and OOP, enough to build a fairly nice looking full-featured website. Most of my goals for the website have been met, including dynamic XML content, a dynamic navigation menu, dynamic screenshot galleries.My current nemesis is a flash video gallery. I'm using xml lists of video locations (different types of video, including flv, wmv, and avi), and I've tried both the stock CS4 video player component (FLVPlayback) and the ubiquitous ToobPlayer 1.0.
Here's the problem. When I compile the video and view it offline, with either player component, it works beautifully! Loads each video from the XML gallery and performs as requested. When I upload it to an FTP and run the website (in an html file) as an http:// link, the video player component is no longer visible and nothing playsIt's driving me ape! Do I need to include some .as files when I upload or something?
How can I play an embedded flv video automatically in a Flash website every time it loads a page?
For example: When I click on the "About" button, I'll go to the About page. On that page, there's an embedded flv that I want to play automatically every time I go to the "About" page.
I've an Accordion component in my Flex application and works great, but I found a little glitch in its behaviour.While one of its menus is opening, it shows a white rectangle and, when it completely loads, it shows me the content. But I want to show the whole content without this "white" rectangle when it loads.For example:
Image 1: My Accordion is ready to use
Image 2: I want to open another submenu, so while it's opening, a white rectangle is shown (I was really quickly to take an screenshot)
Image 3: Recently opened submenu is fully loaded.Here is my source code:
<mx:Accordion id="accordion" width="100%" height="90%" verticalGap="0" horizontalGap="0" creationPolicy="all">[code]...........
So I wanted to give a demo of my project to someone, but I encounter a problem, Im loading an external swf file, and even if I give him both files, it doesn't work.Share swf file that loads another external file?
View 1 RepliesI'm have a flash file which loads an xml file sub.domain.com/data.xml. It loads fine when the swf is loaded from sub.domain.com but it does not load from [URL]..It's all the same directory on the webserver. I tried using crossdomain.xml and allowed access from *.sub.domain.com. Doesn't work.
Any idea what would work? besides using php to determine the current domain (www or not) and load in the path via flashvars.
[URL] Above is a link to view the project I'm working on. Once the site loads if you go to the "Contact Us" page the content doesn't load correctly. I'm using an extrnal .xml and .css files for the content. I'm also embedding the fonts dynamicly. If I test the file locally on my computer is works fine the image loads as it's supposed to and content looks correct. However when I post the files to the server (which work exactly the same way) I get the white box when you can see from the link above. I'm at a complete loss as to how to to fix this.
View 3 RepliesA website I've recently encoded has HTML5 video that falls back to a Flash video for IE browsers. The MP4 video is played through a SWF file with an FLVPlayBack component, and works perfectly on my company's staging environment. However, once we moved the files to the client's live site, the video's buffering does not work properly. Instead of showing the video controllers and progress bar as the video loads, nothing is shown until the video file is completely downloaded (about 50MB)Here are the settings used for the SWF file and FLVPlayBack Component:
FLVPlayBack:
autoPlay: off

I'm working in a xml videogallery and I'm using a video component... The problem is that when I go fullscreen the video object loads in the top-left corner of the stage (is a 800x600 movie) tough I publish my movie with 100% x 100% dimensions.

As you can see after the first fullscreen the stage remains in the Top Left corner. Is there any way to make the stage return to the center? I need to do it when I return from fullscreen to normal mode... or.. what can I do? I tried to put the gallery inside a MC and center it but still fails cos the video object loads in the registration point of the MC (like in the first example I've provided)...
I have have applied the progress bar from the componets panel in Flash CS3 using AS2 and I have been able to make it function: however, I have not been successful in getting the progress bar to unload once my file loads.
