ActionScript 3.0 :: Mini Map That Shows Location Of User?
Jan 22, 2009
Underneath the playing video (of a building) I have an image of the floor plans of the building.When the video .flv file is clicked, i want a "red dot" or some sort of pointer that will move, or appear on the area of the floor plans, in comparason to which video is being played when clicked. - something that runs like a mini map inside a game, where it shows the user where they are in relation to their environment
I am trying to get when a user mouses over the button some content shows up and moves with the mouse until that user moves off the button..does anyone know how i can acheive this...
I am trying to save user location in a course. I am looking for the a simple way for a new Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3 user. The program will be copied to the users hard drive. I am creating a course that has 3 topics each with about 8 sections. The user can go to any of the topics in order and when they complete can do a final assessment. I am looking for a simple way to keep track if the user has finished any of the topics, then to keep track of where they are in a section, so when they return to the program they can pick up where they left off. Also, wondered if their is a next label command like the nextScene command?
Anyone knows a sample code/source, tutorial or example like this gallery: [URL] (resize the browser window to see the effect) What i want is a thumbnail gallery that shows more lines and/or columns according to user resolution (not is necessary to resize the images). It's the same idea when using HTML and creating a thumbnail list with <li> and "float:left".
I'm using the Google Analytics library (AS3 mode) .swc to track some click statistics.Now I'ld like to get the users location. Does anyone know if it's possible to do that with the Flash Google Analytics library?
I'm currently working on a project where I want to incorporate "find a location" functionality using the user's zip code. Basically, the user needs to be able to type in their zip code and once they hit the submit button, they are then taken to a page where it lists all locations available. Mind you, the website is ALL Flash. Currently, it's in ActionScript 2.0, but I could (at least with these pages) convert to ActionScript 3.0 if needed.
I want to know the 'file path' when an user selects a file from 'any location' on his hard disk. I like to know is it possible to fetch the entire file URL instead of the file name alone?
Code: var fileRef= new FileReference(); fileRef.addListener(mylistener); mylistener.onOpen = function(file){ [Code]....
I am trying to make an object tween from its starting location to the location of a mouse click. I have a script, but it has a very annoying ease to it.I would LIKE the object to mantain a certain speed during while traveling from its starting location to the mouse click location.
I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?
I brought my son a mini laptop for xmas that runs Windows CE , some of the websites he wants to go onto require "flash" , but when I try to install flash laptop says its not a valid Windows CE file.
Is it right that I need to install "flash lite" if so what version and where can I obtain it as I cant find download link on this site. If not is there any other way I can get these websites to work.
I am using a mini MP3 player to play an MP3 file. It is working fine, but I need to play the MP3 file in a loop. I have added a variable loop and set it to true but it still doesn't loop.
<script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("player.swf", "mp3player", "0", "0", "8", "#ffffff"); so.addVariable("file", "1-05_Concert_ alla_rustica.mp3"); so.addVariable("loop","true"); so.write("flashcontent"); </script>
Or if there isn't any, does anyone have source code or thoery on how to make a diagonal wall for an object to bounce off of? I have ideas, but I'm not sure if they are as efficient as some other ideas may be.
I am trying to figure out the mini putt logic.. I understand that you give an angle and force then hit the ball. Now, once it hits a border, is it : the straight angle of the border minus ou plus (depending on the side) the angle of the ball that gives us the bounce angle? Any tips/formulas welcome
Basically i have a mini map and i want to check what a mini map tile is playing at. so i tried to trace it, thinking that the error i get was only because the tile was not yet instantiated i made the following function appear after 1 second to be safe.
[AS] function startGame(e:Event) { trace(getChildByName("tile1").currentFrame); }[/AS]
Still get the following error.
1119: Access of possibly undefined property currentFrame through a reference with static type flash.displayisplayObject.
I placed .x (just a test value) instead of .currentFrame and i receive no error.
I guess .currentFrame checks for the MovieClips timeline during compilation?
I am looking to build an app that allows end users to draw and save mini animations (simple predetermined shapes that move in 2D). So far I have a written a app that allows the user to draw a single frame using simple shapes and lines, but I am having some small troubles at this stage, and have not attempted to allow the user to animate or save the drawing.
If anyone knows of a tutorial or some other resource to put me on the right path I would be very grateful. I can also share what I have if anyone would be willing to give me some pointers
I would like to create a panning tool similar to the attached. I looking for something very simple, I would like to be able to scroll the large image from left to right using a smaller inset browser.
i having troublesome with the flash map.Actually i am doing the project which is multi-agent system (agents behave like human react in the map and have behavior just like human). i am one of the members of this project, i responsible for the mini map and i am using flash to do map. I have seen the examples of Pacman flash game and racing flash game(they used action script 2.0). i got the ideas after watched their coding.can i set the movement using matrices??
Currently I am trying to create a mini map which i can populate with the contents of an array.I can make any size grid with little to no trouble in AS3, for arguments sake I have been trying to get a 4x4 Grid populated.I can even make listeners inside the new class but i cannot figure out a way to give each new MiniMap tile a unique identifier like i would of in AS2 and then assign the current frame to play.I have looked around and tried a few tutorials with no success.I have been using this to create the tiles (inside two for loops to make the grid)
Code: var MiniMap:MiniMapTile = new MiniMapTile(); addChild(MiniMap);
Here is how i did it in AS2 for anyone Interested.
Code: _root.MapTile.duplicateMovieClip("Tile" add i, i);
Edit: I have done it the long way :/ made 12 separate objects. Incredibly convoluted.
Im trying to get my Swf File to Load My Flash Mini Button Site this is mY code...fscommand("SHELLOPEN" , "C://WINDOWS.DESKTOP + New Site.exe" Maybe it wont load because Im putting it on the frame I have no idea what i must do to get this to work!
I have been creating mini product movies in Flash using sound recordings, key frames, and tweens. This is the 5th in the series, and just NOW I'm having problems.I had my frame rate set to 30fps with one long sound bite, about 2.5 minutes. Everything looked fine on my end, but when I loaded it into a landing page in IE, everything was out of sync, but only on other people's computers. It still looked fine to me.
I compressed the sound file more, which helped some, but did not aleviate the entire problem. I noticed the frame rate when I did a quick preview (just pressed enter) would fluctuate from the 30 fps all the way to 9 fps.I then cut the sound bite up into 13 segments,shortened the tweens, and reduced the frame rate to 18fps. In development and in preview, it looked fine. However, when I put it into the landing page, the animation was way too fast for the sound and the sound bites looped.
How can I move my MC from one location (x, y) to another location (x1, y1) wirh action script..?.. and I would like to have my motion tween rounded to (x,y) so it will look sharp.
It is possible to make file transfer from air application via server?I think need to create like byte array streaming or somethink like this from sender and write the destination file on receiver user pc.
I wonder wether on a website like chatroulette for example, the streaming video is going directly from user to user or wether it is going through a server.
In other words I wonder wether it is possible to offer a webcam service on a website, so that the streaming video goes directly from user to user, without overloading the system.
