I am using flash professional for take photo from webcam. My requirement is that I want to start camera and after 2 sec it will take photo and turn off the camera.
I did that and its working good in all browser except IE. Actually, I am display:none that flash object after photo take, and it will automatically turn off camera in browser except IE.
If I display:none camera flash object, it will not turn off my webcam.
I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

View 4 RepliesI have a site that presently has a preloader @ the beggining but takes too long to load everything. The main section has a sliding menu that triggers various movies containing photos and animations I have decided to extract all of the project items as SWF files and call them when required.The challenge I now have is that previously when an item was selected from from the menu it would send the play head to a new frame that had the the movieclip; this movie had an instance name which enabled me to use the 'close' button embedded in it and send the play head back to the sliding gliding menu.[code]

I am working on building an accordion style menu using Tweener. I have 3 movieClips on my stage, I can add a tween to each but I need a little help getting the menu items to end in the correct position. In my code below this line tells the movieClip to move to a position of y=25. Tweener. add Tween(mc,{y:25, time:1});I changed mc to box1 and box2 which makes evey thing move when I click, but how do I set up my function so I can click box1 and it will slide up and then click box2 and it slides up.[code]
View 1 RepliesFor example: I have a graphical interface created in Flash AS3 which is simulating the control of machines on the ocean floor. I have 3D animations that will animate what is happening on the ocean floor when a control element is activated on the graphical interfaceAt the moment I have this happening all in one Flash player window that has been made to look like two windows. One which is the interface...one that is made to look like a small screen showing what looks like video coming in from a camera on the ocean floor.
What I need to be able to do is have the Control Screen as one window, and the animations to appear in another. In this way we can set up two monitors, have the control screen on one (computer monitor), the animations playing on the other (a large plasma connected to the same computer). The animations need to play within a flash shell and the control screen would need to play in a separate shell. So in essence I need to be able to double click on an .exe....two screen will activate showing one screen with buttons that port animations into the second screen which I have positions to play on the larger screen.
ok so i need 2 create one movie that controls a second movie, so i have movie1.swf with a back and forward, and i need them buttons to advance movie2.swf, which is essenialy just a slide show!the movies will run independantly of each other, i do not want to load movie2.swf in movie1.swf! get me?how i go about this, i have been told of listeners, so movie2.swf will listen for a true or false command before it advances on... and movie1.swf will send out the command when the next is pressed??

View 1 RepliesGot a pitcular problem/question and im not sure it is possible. Im creating a project that enables the viewer to access a load of files (Pdf's and doc's) through flash. The problem is, these files will be added to and taken from about 4 times a year and there is anywhere from 2 to 20 folders in each folder containing these files.so What I want to do is have an image that when clicked on opens a new box that has links in it that these links are displayed from an xml or html then I need to have that code tell flash to open another box that has links displayed from another XML of HTML that has the links to the actual files being called.i guess the question is:Can flash be controlled by a link called from out side of flash?

As you can see, it's made in order to change the look of a button when clicked and to also show a different look to the other buttons in the same movieclip container.
The problem is that gotoAndStop isn't triggered.

View 3 RepliesNote the button at the top called portfolio, on mouseover this button should loop through the "mouseover" label section, and when the user takes the mouse off of it it should continue to play through what it has started, and stop at the begining of the mouseover labelhen the user clicks on the button it should play through the "trans" label (only once) and begin to loop at the label section "current" when the user goes to another section, for example, clicks another button besides portfolio, the animation should stop on the label "visited" my code for it to loop looks like this (on the invisible button over the movie clip)
on (rollOver) {
portfolioBtn_mc.gotoAndPlay("mouseover");

I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) {
this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");
}
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.

this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98");

I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?

I am using code from a tutorial that I downloaded to get an Home.swf to preload in my "index" page.the problem is that a part of the code reads
movie1_btn.onPress=function(){
startPreload ("Home.swf");
}
which means that I have to create a button to get the .swf file to load, how do I edit this code so that the action begins on it's own at that frame?
Can somebody change this code from action script 1 to a action script 2 because it doesn't work on new flash 8

I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?
