ActionScript 3.0 :: Building A Little Flash Website For A Friend?
Aug 9, 2009
im building a little flash website for a friend, struggling my way through. Its quite a steep learning curve as this is my first bit of flash work.Heres the problem, i built the part below, added buttons that should scroll through a series of pictures when clicked (which will be replaced with pages later).
The buttons work, and when pressed for the first time they select the right page. However pressing the buttons in a certain order seems to mess things up.
If i press page 1, page 2, page 3 then press page 2 again, page 1 is displayed

Im building for the first time a website with flash (ac3). but Im not a total n00b to flash.My plan is it to creat a main.swf file which holds things like the navigation and the language selector (you can choose "ru" or "eng") and it has a function which loads the subpages.swf (i think its better to make the subpages unique becouse they wont look the same at all) e.g. if I click on the second navibutton it should load the 02.swf inside of the main.swf __and__ destroy the old .swf which was there befor. I dont know how to write this function the best way (addChild / removeChild maybe?), but i know how to addEventListener to the buttons.My second problem is inside of this (e.g. 02.swf) will be a function which fillout the textfields with xml data. So this function needs to get the language var from the main.swf to parse xml with the right language. I know how to do the parsing part. But i dont know how to send a var from main.swf to the page.swf.

I've been building Flash web sites for a long time now, as a freelance developer. I usually work alone, and so I'm the only one that touches the production work I do.Since I'm in this working position, I don't get a lot of exposure to other styles of flash production. I was wondering if any of you have examples of the best ways to produce high quality flash websites. I'm not talking about huge team projects, but small 40-50 work hour sites.[code]

I'm making a Flash website using Actionscript 3.0 and I'd like to feature a file for download, however the user will have to pay for said download. Ideally, I'd like just a "Download Now!" button on a certain page, then the user would be sent to PayPal and the downloading would commence.How do I set that, or something similar, up?

I could contact about building a custom live Flash media encoder for our website. We have a database for authentication and a list of upcoming events with stream information (FMS URL and Stream Name) that we want to automate into an encoder. Currently we have our customers use Flash Media Live Encoder and copy/paste the values into the encoder, but would prefer a solution that is more tightly integrated with our site

I'm asking this question because I can only find examples and answers for the PHP version. I need the Flash version. I'm trying to get my friends information, but I think I'm doing it wrong because if I trace it, it'll give me either [object Object] or undefined.
I did Facebook.api("me/friends", handleApiGet);
private function handleGetApi(success:Object, fail:Object):void
{
if (success)
{
[Code]....
ExternalInterface.call("doAlert", success) returns me [object Object], [object Object]. I also did ExternalInterface.call("doAlert", success.name), it returns me undefined.

I wasn't quite sure where to put this. I created a banner for a friend in flash using actionscript 2 and the getURL command. When I go to embed it in HTML, the movie shows up and when you hover over it, it appears to link but when clicked it does not link. When I go directly to the .swf file it links, but not when I embed it. Is there anything special I have to add to my HTML to make the link work?

There are some question on the StackOverflow about facebook & email, but after reading them I still have a problem with retrieving users emails.
Our app implemented on Flex and uses REST API. And previously it used notifications.sendEmail. App has publish_stream and email permissions (checked with users.hasAppPermission).
I tried users.getInfo for get proxied_email address. But this function does not return email address of the friend.. Then I performed the following test using Graph API and web browser: Opened the following link for authorization with extended permissions:

I have a facebook canvas app (flash).
I have a user who is visiting the app.
I have a button that the user clicks for the purpose of inviting a friend to the app.I understand that this can be done via the js sdk: http[url].....However I am already using the facebook_as3_api, and I would prefer to avoid using multiple facebook api's. Does the facebook_as3_api have a way of doing this, and if not, why not?

I have a Send to a Friend form I modified from lewip's awesome xml newsreader slideshow. [URL] I have everything in the text inputs being passed correctly, but I would also like the email sent to contain a small amount of text, that the user does not input, to explain why the recipient has just received the email. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome.

I may be mistaken, but it appears that Facebook only supports friend-selector dialogs within a request/invite form. I take that to mean that since our app is just allowing the user to arrange a subset of friends for display within the app (no message to the friend), we must use something that isn't available from Facebook. It would be nice to know if I'm wrong, but important to have some clear pointers on how to get a friend ID back from the dialog without an invite or request getting sent to the friend.
I've searched for solutions and the closest I've come is a description of something that implements what I want offered for license by Mike Knoop. I've tried making contact, but still don't know whether the code (or license terms) will work. It would be really nice to have a solution that was more open, but any pointers to widgets/libraries that include this capability

I have no idea what to call it or where to start looking, so I am putting it in the generic and hopefully someone can point me to the right forum or area. Here is my project and I am trying to teach myself how to do these things. I had great help in making buttons on here a while back, now I am trying to build an object right in flash. The easiest thing for most to relate to is a computer that is being built from scratch. So, You start with a base picture of an open sided computer with a list of components underneath. By draggin those components to the box, it snaps them in place. You can also remove them the same way. When done, you click a tally button and it shows a list of all the components you added with product numbers.

building a preloader in Flash. It's about pre-loading swf files in the background while the visitor is watching a page. For instance, I have a start page built in HTML. It will have links to various swf-clips. I would like for those swf-clips to start caching immediately once the HTML page is loaded so that there is no (or little) delay once the visitor clicks on any of the links.

I'm trying to figure out where to get started on a menu like the one found at:There are several links, and as you rollover each of them, it changes the image above them. However, the image above them has links in it as well.I'm completely lost on where to get started as it seems like rolling over opens another page right above it.

HOW do I go about doing it?Ive tried...buttonon "over" create to movie clipinside movie clip have my animations and sublink buttonsit works fine, but there's one problem, The hit area of the main button HAS to cover the hidden sublinks, so even if you scrolled your mouse over the bottom of the button (in the invisible area) it will still show since its in the hit area).How can I create a simple nav drop down? I seriously have went through almost all tutorials, both video and text, and nothing has worked! I am using Actionscript 3, or whatever the tutorial says to use.edit: Here is something I'm working on. Its a button, and on the rollover it creates the animation. Obviously it doesnt work, because you cant have a button inside a button, so I don't know the actionscript to do this.

Building a webpage entirely in Flash??I have to admit that I really like flash.I am using it for about 2 years, but I am still not sure if building a webpage entirely in flash would bee a good idea. In HTML I can't achieve the same look, and feel, on the other hand sacrificing the look for functionality is the last thing I would do.

I've taken 32 pictures of an item, on a rotating plate. Then, I removed the background and kept the file in PSD. I imported to library in Flash then created the "picture animation" that shows the item rotating. I want to add button to control the rotation and I wish to add some SPAY area on some of the pictures so, when a user is looking at the item, rotates it at will, some areas will highlight and will provide the user with links to more information.Should I use Firework to set the areas ?then establish their relation in Flashr should I add links and compositions directly in Flash and build everything from there ?

I'm having trouble with building iOS applications in flash. I just bought an iPad and want to start building apps for it. I hav done simple apps for iPhone before but nothing too fancy. The problem is, I can build it and compile it fine but when I try to install on my device it comes up with the error saying:
"ITunes: 'APPNAME' failed to install." I can compile it as an iPhone app and it works fine. I'm pretty sure I've got my provisioning right because I have both my iPhone and iPad devices added. Anyone got any ideas of why my apps only work while I compile them as iPhone apps?

I'm using CS5 flash professional to build a swf. I have it publishing to flash 8, actionscript 2. but it will only work with browsers that have 10.1+ plugins, no matter what I try. is there something really obvious that I'm missing? Edit: I'm using swfobject.embed. it looks like this: swfobject.embedSWF("/foo.swf", "myContent", "400", "300", "9.0.0", "/foo.swf", flashvars);

I've been tasked with building an interactive map of all the states in the US and just wondering what the best way is to go about this? I know I could build this fairly easily in Flash but one of the requirements is for it to work on an iPhone so obviously that rules Flash out!
Requirements:
Must work across all browsers and handheld devices.
Must be updatable via Wordpress.
Must include a small info box that pops up when each state is hovered.
The look of the map will be designed by us (we'd want complete control of this as we're graphic designers!) so this also rules out a custom Google map.
I've done a search on here and found two examples, the first is exactly the kind of thing we want but is done in flash - example I don't think I'll be able to create popup bubbles when hovering over each state. An example I like is - Transmit's feature section. How was this built and how could I recreate something like that?

with the advent of Flash Player 10 and now Adobe's Flash Professional CS5 i was thinking of creating a simple 3d scene consisting of movieclips, without relying heavily on as code or a 3d engine.
A simple scene where a user can interact or travel between the movieclips using their mouse. Now i have built a quick scene in flash cs5 by just creating dummy mcs, the problem is there is no camera control using the tools.
Sure you can select all and transform the mcs at one go in 3d space and add relevant keyframes, but that still doesn't give us any freedom in having an actual 3d camera able to fly through the scene.
Is there any way to create a simple flash 3d scene using library movieclips, with the ability to adjust camera fly settings on mouse movements? That is, not relying too much on as code?
