I'm building a very simple mp3 player. What I need is to make it start playing the music on load, as soon as the page has loaded.
This is my code so far. I have this function called musicPlay, I wish to let that function execute on page load.
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

I have been trying everything I can find to have code start on the window.onload event that uses callbacks exposed via the ExternalInterface. I've had many of the attempts working in IE, but Firefox is causing me grief.I tried simply calling the code via an "onload=" statement in the body tag for starters, but that didn't work because (I'm assuming) the Flash piece wasn't loaded when onload was called. So I tried putting a line in the Flash that calls a javascript function once it's loaded up. I tried this both by putting the ExternalInterface.call statement in a "this.onLoad=function(){" block as well as just putting the call at the end of the statements on frame 1 of my presentation (with a stop() on the frame) - either way it isn't happening in Firefox.I also tried using a setInterval in Javascript to test to see if one of the methods exposed via the ExternalInterface is an object (or not undefined). Once again, it's working in IE, but not in Firefox.[code]
The only other thing I can think of at the moment is using the swfObject for writing the flash tags to the page, but I'm already writing them from an external file (and removing the IE "Click to activate this control" issue in the process). All these methods work fine after the initial load (although I also had issues with Firefox when I simply try to call the onload instructions after a setTimeout command as well).
I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
View 1 RepliesIm working on a website for school, and im doing it through flash. The server ive been given is being taken up by thousands of pages, so its slow. Instead of loading each page through HTML, ive decided i could do a seperate frame for each page. However, to reach the menu at the bottom, you have to scroll down. Is there any way to make it so that when you click a button to load a different page for the flash player to scroll up all the way to the top of the page itself?

View 1 RepliesI am struggling trying to put together two or three tutorials in order to make a photo gallery with numbers as the navigation to work. I am almost there, the problem is that in addition to the numbers as navigation I also wanted to have the option to change the images using a previous and next button. Here is a link of what I am trying to do:

The reason the previous and next buttons don't work is because their functions are within a main function that is called onRelease of one the number buttons. Once you click the numbers, the previous and next start to work.
My question would be if there is a way to auto execute the function DisplayInfo as the XML file loads. See code Below:

function loadXML(loaded) {

I have 20 different flash files that i need to play randomly when a user enters a zip code. I am done with the project, but the way I have done it is I think could have been done a lot better. I have 20 different aspx files that have the flash object. I redirect users to different aspx files based on the random number using Random class. Is there a way to just have one aspx file where the param value and data could be passed using a variable. That way, its easier to maintain and i don't have to go to 20 different aspx files to update anything. Here is what the flash object looks like.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="960" height="952"
id="HOT" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="../FlashFiles/FirstTime/HOT_00.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

I have a flash map included in my site usually like <object... and so on. I have seen on some websites that on page load the flash is already active, I mean, on my map you have to first click on it and then start interacting with it. I want to make it on page load already available for interaction, so user when hovers over flash it would already work, so that user doesn't need to click on the map to start interacting with it.

Is It possible to load Html page Inside Adobe Flash CS5.
Originally, i wanted to bring in through <IFRAME> but i don't see that flash understands that.
Is there way to get the browser to always load any swf files before everything else on a page (exept the external css and swfobject.js). Using Firebug's Net statistics I can see the swf files generally load last.
We have all our external js files inserted at the bottom of the page to help loading times.
In my application I need to load PDFs dynamically and store each page of the PDF. Currently what I'm doing is converting each page to an image using some php code and then importing each image to flash, but I was wondering if there is a better way. Or is converting to images then importing to flash the best option?
View 2 RepliesWe're putting together one of those "greeting spokesperson" videos for our website. The video is about 30 seconds long, and on the first load, it always disappears in the middle of a sentence. Refresh the page, and it works fine thereafter. The video plays through a FLV Player inside a SWF. The SWF is 695 frames long and has the following characteristics: 'fade-out' alpha tween starting at Frame 685A Stop action at the very last frameThe following code on the FLV player:
on (complete) {
getURL('javascript:removeIt();'); }
I have this code on my button in a flash header to load a page into an iframe:
Code:
on(release){
getURL("home.html", "mainframe")
}
And I have this code in my html document defining the iframe: Code:
<iframe id="mainframe" src="home.html" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" style="overflow:visible; width:100%; display:none"></iframe>
The problem is, this works fine in google Chrome, but not in mozilla firefox or IE. So that eliminates the idea of it being a coding error on my part. Is there another way to do this that all three browsers will support?
I want to get an idea on how the majority of people structure the flash websites they make.First, do most of you actionscripters, when creating a website, use a parent movie that holds the sites navigation and an embedded blank movie clip to load individual content pages? I get the feeling that is true because it saves a lot of space in your swf file.
That was the easiest question. Next, when you create a transition effect to keep the viewer occupied between loading different pages, how do you usually go about this?Assuming you have a blank movieclip in the main SWF to load individual page content.Do you have a movieclip animation that is called in the main SWF that is a layer above or masks the container movieclip which is loading the external content? Or, do you have the transition in the actual content SWF, with a transition in effect, midframe with the content, then transition out effect.
It seems the second choice might be a little more repetitive, but maybe a little more simple, then again, maybe not.My last question is not actionscript but javascript.I want to load my flash file from a link on an html page that launches a new window that is perfectly sized around the flash movie, with none of the menu bars and that works on windows(ie, netscape, opera) and MACs.As a secondary, if its possible,I would like to have the flash movie pop up into the center of the screen, right now it pops into the top left corner.Here is the script I have. It works for PCs with IE, but a friend that looked at it on her MAC had to resize the window:
Code:
<A HREF="" onClick="window.open('flashmovie.html', 'newWnd',
'width=750,height=400'); return false;">Try this</A>
The flash.html is the automatic html page that flash publishes your SWF file.
