View 4 Replieslets say i have a file system like this:
Main.swf
/myfolder/Sub.swf
/myfolder/Sub.php
what if i need the Sub.swf to always find the native php file eather it gets loaded into main.swf or gets played from local folder and i can't use full paths. is it possible to load Sub.swf into Main.swf and make sure that Sub.swf still thinks /myfolder/ as home?
I've got different skins on my flash site. the site becomes skinned when a user clicks a skin button and the related MC's in my movie go to the appropriate labelled frames with the .png graphics for that skin.
I pretty much just use go to and stop for that and it works great on static (non-animated MC's). I've got one situation though where my MC is animated (it slides up and out of the way to reveal content underneath).I need to be able to tell that MC to go to and stop on the correct frame and then STAY THERE! I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it stay there. At present it defaults back to its first frame whenever it is tweened (animated).

Is this a common issue with the Loader class or contentLoaderInfo events?

View 15 Repliesthe file loads correctly but the loading screen only flashes up at the end.The only thing being exported in frame 1 is the loader image, and that is extremely small.Is it possible that there's a queue of things being loaded and the loader image is at the bottom of that queue? Since that was one of the last things added to the project

I have my swf (embedded in a JSP page) deployed in Sun Application Server. My swf contains a Loader component which loads image through accessing the url of my servlet. This servlet of mine returns an image. Now, when i try it inside our network, it works both for IE and FireFox. But when i try it on an external network, the Loader loads the image for IE but it doesn't for FireFox. I'm doubting it is an acess problem since it works in IE.

I'm trying to find a way to lock a MC (or any other instance) to a path. Best way to describe what I want to do is ... imagine there's a drawn out rail track (the path), and at the press of a button a train (MC) will constantly move along the path until the button is pressed again.

I'm trying to design a tablet flash applet. Does anyone know how to lock the orientation of the html embedded player player in landscape mode when it has been full screened? So far this is what I have in the html file:
HTML Code:
<embed src="fullScreenTest.swf" allowFullScreen="true" fullScreenOnSelection = "true" />
That did wonders for maximing the flash window, but the moment I change orientation on the tablet the flash player also changed orientation. I know there is a way of locking the orientation to landscape mode in ActionScript 3, but is there an ActionScript 2 equivalent for it?
limiting or correcting the behaviour of FileReference.save isn't possible.Can anyone suggest an alternative (server is Apache/PHP) that matches all of my criteria from this post and avoids the pitfalls I discussed with Jacob?I'm saving an image from my AS3 app using FileReference.save(). This is the code, which works fine:[code]This opens up the save file dialog as expected. I'm using this rather than sending the byteData to PHP because I want the user to have a familiar dialog box that lets them set their own file name.
The problem comes when users have their operating system configured to display file extensions, like I do. This means that in the save dialog the file name contains the extension as seen in the image below, and so it is very easy for the user to delete that extension when they rename the file. Because the default file type for this box is 'All files', if the extension is deleted the file is saved with no type.I don't know of any way to force a file type on the save dialog (if there is one that would be my preferred route) so failing that can anyone suggest a safe way for me to do this that still allows the user to set the file name themselves using a standard dialog for their OS?I did try putting in a call to FileReference.browse() before the save() as shown in this tutorial, but that throws an error because you can only perform one FileReference call at a time.
I am loading a flash program, with an automatic redirect to a frame (frame 2, in this case). Each frame has a different menu system on it, linking to a URL.
However with firefox the first two elements of this frame does not show up. Very frustrating.

I'm creating a video site using the flvPlayback component and telling it which video to play based on flashvars. So far everything is working well in all the browsers I've tried except Firefox on the PC. In FF/PC it hangs on the first frame of the video while showing the buffering indicator.

View 2 RepliesThis is a bit of an odd-ball problem. I've created a website 524 frames long, but am creating the pre-load bar *after* the website is done. I could move all the frames a few over, but this would require remapping all my many, many buttons. What I've done then, is told Frame 1 to go to Frame 525, and put the preloader there. I should note the site works perfectly without the pre-loader, I just want it to be smooth once it makes it online.The following code is being used for the first frame (frame 525) of the pre-loader:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";if (bytes_loaded ==

I have a banner as the header on a website. The file is about 150K. I want the banner to load (relatively) instantly (without the animations). My current solution is to take a screenshot of the first frame and create a preloader that just displays the screenshot. A really simple solution to this would be a setting (or something) that just caches the first frame as a bitmap and loads that first, then displays it until the entire file is loaded.

View 2 RepliesWhat's the most efficient way of putting a basic preloader and XML loader together in the same frame?
Like, what works the best in terms of order of operation? Or if used at the same time should the XML loader have the preloader in the Progress portion or at the on complete portion?
I have wriiten a code on Frame1 to load an image in a MovieCLip(already on Stage). Now that's only visible in Frame1, if i goto some other frame example-5 and use "insert Keyframe" or "Insert Blank Keyframe" it shows me nothing inside the Movie Clip. But when i copy the code from Frame 1 then it shows the image inside at Frame where the code has been copied.
So is it limited to only 1 frame in which ActionCode is there? Or how do i tell that keep displaying image inside the MovieClip.
In the first frame of that movieclip, I'm importing an external swf with Loader class,(Using actionscript2 but my main flash page using Actionscript3),It is loading well but when i pass to second frame and return to the first frame again, the Loader doesn't work. (i'm using addChild(); to show external swf)
View 9 RepliesBeing adventurous I've got (all built in AS1) a masked area that you can view an image in. I'm trying to make it so you can zoom it in and drag it around, within the masked area, but the dragging locks it so that you can't drag it to the point where it leaves the edge of the masked area - if you follow. So when you're zoomed in, the iamge is never allowed to be dragged off so far that it's not filling the masked area. I've tried all sorts of code and the following code seemed to work well
Code:
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
limitLeft = 0-Math.round(imageMC._width-maskWidth);
limitUp = 0-Math.round(imageMC._height-maskHeight);
limitRight = 0;
limitDown = 0;
imageMC.startDrag(false,limitLeft,limitUp,limitRight,limitDown);
But since the border size around the image is adjustable (it could be 2, it could be 20) and that eats into the area used to show the image (eg image is offset by imgBorderSize and shrunk by imgBorderSize*2) I tried to factor that into the formulas because once I turned the borders up the above formulas wasn't working right anymore
Code:
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
limitLeft = 0-Math.round(imageMC._width-maskWidth)-(imgBorderSize*2);
limitUp = 0-Math.round(imageMC._height-maskHeight)-(imgBorderSize*2);
[code]....
I also tried to make it so when you zoom in, it zoomed in on the center of the area you can see through the mask, not on the top left - so repositioning is occuring alongside the scaling for the zoom to try and acheive that. Nothing clever, just :
Code:
// ZoomCalc range = 0-100;
// imageMC = the clip being scaled/repositioned/dragged
imageMC._xscale = 100+(2*ZoomCalc); // 100% - 300%
[code]....
When it zooms out however it'd be nice if it didn't snap back to center via the above code, eg if yu're zoomed into bottom left it would stay viewing bottom left as it zoomed out - yeah?If anyone has ANY input to this I'd greatfuly welcome it :/ If I manage to get it working then I have to figure out what my layer above all these layers with clickable buttons don't work as soon as I implemented the dragging of the image layer Is there no way to have buttons on something that is being dragged?
