I have quite a challenge on my hands. I need to retrieve flashvars from a deeply nested child swf. I've scoured the net for days for an answer, but none seem to work. My issue here is that I can't figure out how to access the uppermost root (loader swf) from the child swf. When I say nested, I mean 5 levels deep, so it gets pretty hairy.
View 9 RepliesI'm passing a number in my HTML through FlashVars to a swf, I load an external swf into that parent swf which needs the variable that I passed.
I can use the variable passed in the parent, but I just can't understand how to attain that value in the child swf.
I've been looking into dispatch event but it seems way overkill. Haven't seen any examples dealing with something so simple.
In a custom queue, there's a push() and a pop() function. The pop() may be called any time on an Event.COMPLETE, so does this mean that code can be running in push() and pop() simultaneously? If so, is there a way to prevent the code from being run in both functions at the same time?
View 3 RepliesIf you create a Video object and trying to use the the BitmapData.draw() method on a DisplayObjectContainer that has the Video in it, if the video has not begun to play you will get this Security warning:[code]However, I found that by calling a phony url to init the video works great and gets around this issue. If you were to call _ns.close(); at any point, you would have the security issue again.
View 7 Repliesthis is working, but I would really like to have the jpegs, as linked items in the library, or just in the same folder / path as the swf file,how can I change this to achieve that..I need that to get the prelaoding to work, or work the only way I know how to in the scope of things
footers = 5;
directory = "http://www.pathToImages.com/pic/";
getMe.loadMovie(directory + Math.ceil(Math.random()*footers) + ".jpg");
how I can make a shared object be able to be accessed by different SWFs on the same server.
View 5 RepliesI have several movieclips on the stage. They are linked (via properties - as linkage) to a class I created (GeoPuzzle).
The constructor calls several methods and has several properties that I set in the main timeline.
These methods are never accessed. I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know how to make these methods run, since they are in the contructor.[code]...
I'm creating a video player in an environment where stream.bytesTotal isn't available. I need to use the duration metadata encoded in flv files to extrapolate for things such as the play progress, and the time display.
The problem is when loading an flv the metadata, including the duration, fails to be accessed 2 out of 3 times. Here is the function that iterates through the metadata object

I'm trying to access a shared object created by one flash application from another flash application. Is this possible? If so, what do I need to do?
If not, are there any other ways to share the information between the applications?
I am getting the xml data in my flash envronment by Test Movie. But when uploaded it does not displays the data. Note that here I have not loading a physical file with .xml extension rather i am loading a url reference which creats an xml structure for this flash object to use.

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.warraq.cc/Core/waraq/quiz-

I have some audio streaming resources on my HTTP server, let's sayI did design a flash player for playing it.Their player will try to reload that resource until it's available.This makes a lots of stress to my HTTP server. To stop them from hamming my server, I want to allow access only from my flash player. Strangely, I think in this case, flash player should check the crossdomain.xml first before load my audio resource, but they didn't. They just load the sound and play. The corssdomain.xml is not even there. I try to add one, it doesn't work as well

I have a html page that has a link, which links to another html page with a flash file on. What I need is when this flash page is accessed I need a new movie to load, which would usually load from the navigation when someone clicks on a button. Is there anyway to link to a page which then loads a new movie into the main movie. can this be done???
View 10 RepliesI have an actionscript class with a static member variable defined.
public class A
{
public static var x:int;

When I try to access it from different parts in my code I don't get the same value in each spot.
A.x
I am accessing the variable in different modules that are loaded, so they are all in their own separate .swf file.
So I was wondering if there was a way to create a video player or edit some open source video player with the functionality that users can add comments straight from the video player. So if you're trying to picture it, it would be something like this: the tool bar at the botom would have the usual seek bar, volume control, play/pause buttons etc, and now an additional button that when clicked would trasform the tool bar into a text box which can be used to enter comments while watching videos. The comments would then be entered below the video.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to host a class file separate from everything else on a website where it can be edited when needed? For example, I'm thinking that in the Linkage section of the movieclip you would put the path to the location of the as file on the website, so [URL] <--well I guess without the ".as".
View 1 RepliesThe Document class loads a list of external bitmap images. As the images are loaded, the following takes place for each:
Code:
var obj:Object = new Object();
obj.bmpData = bmp.bitmapData;
obj.bmpFilename = bmpFilename;
bmpDataList.push(obj);
As you can see, an object is created and the bitmapData is stored inside of it. This object is added to an array.Later, when a key is pressed, a new instance of a class is created. A function is called that retrieves the appropriate bitmapData and this is passed to the constructor of the new instance. Example:
Code:
//Instance is created:
var newChar:BaseChar = new LowA(getBmpData("a"));[code]....
The problem is that getBmpData returns null when the SWF is accessed on the remote server. Result = no images seen. It works just fine locally.
I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage
View 2 RepliesI am creating a vertical shooter game for one of my assessments. There are 4 levels in the game, the object of each level is to shoot as many enemies (spawn via an external as file) to build up your score before the time runs out. Once the time reaches zero, you get linked to the next level. The first level is called the graveyard which has skulls as enemies. Once the time reaches zero, this swf automatically links to the next level which is called haunted_house.swf. The only problem is the skulls from the first level continue to spawn on the new level. How do I stop this? The coding for the timer and to link the first level to the next is below:

I am developing an isometric rpg engine in flash AS3. I have decided to separate the engine code completely from the game data, which is in xml. So I have all the maps in xml files, all the quests and npcs etc. My question is when to parse the xml into actual Actionscript code. Should I do this at the start of every play session? Should I only parse the maps as they are called? This is like start up code. For example, I want to parse every tile into a tile object, then draw it to the map. Also, I want to parse the quests in the xml into quest objects so that they can be accessed by other code. So, when should I do this??

i have a small LAN of about 8 computers all of which are running windows 7. I have installed FMS and XAMPP webserver on one of the machines. I want to stream live from one PC to all the other PCs on the LAN. I have a webpage with jwplayer embedded in it on my XAMPP webserver that is able to see the live stream when i start it locally. I mean the live stream works fine on the machine with the servers on it. But when i want to view the live stream from another machine in the LAN by accessing the webpage that has the jwpalyer from another machine, The jwplayer returns "server not found:rtmp://192.168.10.1/live" error. I was thinking that maybe a firewall is blocking the 1935 port but i have turned off the firewall of every PC on the LAN. I have unistalled any antivirus program on all the PCs. But i still get the same error when i try to access the live stream from another PC on the LAN.When i run netstat -a -n|find ":1935" i get 192.168.10.2:49184 192.168.10.1:1935 SYN_SENT and i think the request for the stream is sent but the conection is rejected.
This is the code for the webpage with jwplayer embedded in it. maybe it:
