At the end of my movie I want to launch a URL that loads up another Flash movie. In the past I would use something like getURL("[URL]"); how to perform this task in Actionscript 3?
View 3 RepliesI have an interesting (and rather embarrasing) error occuring only in Firefox on http://www.northwestu.edu/report/06/. If you watch the presentation in Explorer, this is the proper chain of events:[URL]..I oversee this site and unfortunately we did not find this bug until after linking up this content to our home page.
View 2 RepliesEverything is embedded in an HTML site. The HTML loads a preloader that then loads the actual flash movie. Inside this movie I created a few buttons, inside a scroll bar movie clip. I want the buttons to load a whole new movie inside the same html. The code I'm using in the button is simply:
on(release) {
loadMovie("new_movie.swf", 0);
}
The problem is that it works beautifully in the Flash movie tester but doesn't do anything when tested inside the browser, embedded in the HTML. I think the problem is that the HTML embeds as an object the first movie, the preloader for the menu movie, not the menu movie itself.
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
create an interactive document. click. popup Used the pdf link tool to launch a flash movie in a floating pop up.. Now I I want the popup to close automatically. Unloading the MC doesn't do it.
View 1 RepliesI have 2 buttons in a flash movie with the following codes. They open a new URL that also contains a flash movie and it sends the variable "nFrame" and a value.
Button1:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("goats.html?nFrame=1");
}
Button2:
Code:
on (release) {
getURL("goats.html?nFrame=2");
}
When the new URL opens I want the flash movie to begin at a particular frame depending on what variable "nFrame" is equal to. I tried placing this code in the first frame to do it but it didn't work, the movie just loops and loops and doesn't stop at any frame.
Code:
if(nFrame=1) {
gotoAndStop("cheese");
} else {
gotoAndStop("wine");}
}
So I embedded a basic flash movie as per: [URL]
It loads fine in IE, but the flash player in Chrome cannot load the movie. Flash works fine on other sites in Chrome, so what's wrong with this HTML?

I have made a Flash image gallery that is working just fine. I'm preloading the thumbnails and loading the main images only when these are clicked for display, in order to save load time. The problem comes when the user configures say 100 images to be shown in the gallery. In this case the page containing the gallery freezes until all the thumbnails are loaded. My question would be: is there any solution to load the rest of the page first? Or load everything in parallel assigning the page content a higher priority?
View 4 RepliesI created a movie that loads an XML file into flash and then.. does stuff with it (Like put text into text fields)My problem is that it works when I test it on my computer, but when I upload it and test it on my website, the XML file doesnt load.The movie is the XML load into has been loaded dynamically, as has the one above it (Like this: Lobby Clip > Games room clip > newgames Clip)
View 3 RepliesI want to activate Flash Fullscreen mode when flash movie loads in the browser. Without activating it through button clicks. I tried for this using this type of code:
function goFullScreen()
{
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
}
goFullScreen();
But it is not working this way, it is working when I put this type of code:
function goFullScreen()
{
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";

I have an .fla created with a single key frame. In the frame I have a button instance (its own layer), a layer called "act" where my actionscript is entered, and an swf FLVPlayback instance (its own layer).
I simply want the button to show when launched, upon being clicked to launch my movie, and the button to disapear. My FLVPlayback points to an rmtp stream that works fine and is setup to autoplay = true.
currently I am using this code but the button doesn't disappear and the movie begins to play before the button is pressed. I have also switched the movie to autoplay = false but pressing the button does not play the movie.
the code on the "act" layer is (my_btn is the button and my_mc is the movie):
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClicked);function btnClicked(e:MouseEvent):void{my_mc.play();}
I have a cms where my client loads banner ads from their clients. They don't know the dimensions or don't want to enter them when they upload the banners. Is it possible to capture the dimensions to set the object attributes as we grab the movies from the db to display in the page?I read that the movie dimensions are available in the loaderinfo object, but this is a AS3 object right? Are AS3 objects available outside the flash movie? Can I access the loaderobject via javascript?The Flash movies we're trying to load are not ours, we don't have access to the flas or anything like that so we can't edit anything to do with the movies themselves.
View 2 Repliesi think i may have a challenge for you. I would like to have a flash movie load to a random keyframe in a timeline when the page loads. Basically, i'd like to set up a timeline with say 10 movies. When the page loads, i'd like the flash to randomly select from some predetermined keyframes (obviously where each movie starts) and when that movie ends, jump to another section of the timeline. This way, the loading of the movies is somewhat seamless and it looks like i've made 10 different flash movies.
Even if it's not possible to all load from the same timeline, i'd like to have it play the first movie, then when it reaches an ending frame, it loads another random movie from a directory on the server, and then keeps going and going until it can't stand it anymore.
I am trying to select and highlight a specific row on the datagrid in an embedded swf everytime the movie loads. I am using flash cs3 and actionscript 3 , published on flash player 9. anyone done anything similar? Did quite a bit of searching none of the methods actuall seemed to work.
View 1 RepliesI modified the loadBar from one of the popular preload scripts out there. What I am making is a progressbar, sorta like the ones you see in movie previews. But it doesn't seem to o work quite right. Here's what I have: interface.swf - dynamically loads the movie.swf's into itself and will control the movie (when I get around to it). it has the loadBar object

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 a modular movie format. All movies load into a shell/base movie. I have a video intro that loads into the loader component in an external movie. This movie in turn loads into the actual main movie.What I'm trying to figure out is when the video intro gets done playing, I want it to move to the the next frame (#3) so it can run a behavior I have there to load another movie in its place.I've tried the "on complete" with several variations to no avail.I have a button that will move you to the frame #3, but I want to make it happen automatically if I could.

I wanted to achieve some basic functionality
loadVariablesNum("http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myscript.pl?act=NewArticle","0",'POST")
My script myscript.pl is designed to return an appropriate varibale value to load into this flash movie so te remaining logic will work.
Now my problem is this WORKS in standalone flash movie but when I upload the movie to [URL] for example this does not work. I tried to put a relative path to my script, even that does not work. I want to make the movie Flash 5 compatible.
Can the getURL load a webpage into a empty movie symbol?I want to load three webpages into three separate movie symbols but I dont want them to be able to maximise the web page etc.

I was wondering if there was a way to launch an external .swf from within the playing .swf?
I don't want the other swf to be inside of the currently playing one (like with the UILoader, I want it to be running as a completely separate instance of flash.
I've been developing a Flash application that will be running on a touch screen monitor installed in a hospital. The touch screen is run by a Windows machine. I'm afraid I don't know much about the Windows world. I'd like to have my Flash application launch in Flash Player every time the cpu is rebooted so the client never has to worry about manually doing it.

I want to load six seperate .swf's into the main movie while the main movie loads too. So in simpler words, i want to be able to load all of the swf's the same time i am loading the main swf.
