ActionScript 3.0 :: Nested Button On A Imported Swf That Targets Contact Forms On The Importing File
May 15, 2011
I have a swf named garage. When you click the garage door it opens and a tool chest emerges. You can either click on the gargage door again to close it or click on the top of the tool chest to close it. The drawers on the tool chest represent buttons that will bring up a contact form to be sent to the perspective person. These buttons are a secondary navigation. The main movie that is importing garage.swf has navigation for the contact forms. I need to code the buttons on the tool chest to match the code on the main movie so if you click the buttons on the tool chest they will respond as if they were the buttons in the main movie that it has been imported by.
I've been trying to import, embed, or load a contact form into a fla flash website (i have the fla and swf files) however i cant seen to get it to work.
I've been trying to import, embed, or load a contact form into a fla flash website (i have the fla and files) however i cant seem to get it to work. The form is separate file, I have the fla source file for it as well.I'm using Actionscript 3. I would like to have the form dynamical load into my existing project/page [URL]..
I have created a form in flash (CS5) using AS3 and Php.The test run worked absolutely fine but now I have added the form to my (original) flash movie it has a number of errors come up... Thing is that I've just spent the last 2 hours trying to get this form to work and having no success what so ever.
Scene 11152: A conflict exists with inherited definition flash.display:DisplayObject.name in namespace public.ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 15000: The class 'fl.controls.TextArea' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 15000: The class 'fl.controls.TextInput' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 15000: The class 'fl.controls.UIScrollBar' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.ComponentShim (Compiled Clip), Line 15000: The class 'fl.controls.Button' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.
I am trying to play an MP3 File in Flash Lite 2.1 (I'm using Flash 8 to develop it). The filename of the MP3 file is imported from an XML file.Here is a copy and paste from the help file on how to do this:
// create a new Sound object var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); // If the sound loads, play it; if not, trace failure loading. my_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
[code]....
When I test this code on its own, it does work fine for me. However, I want the above to be executed inside a function that does a number of other things... Here is a sample of what I'm trying to get working.
function myMusic() { // create a new Sound object var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); // If the sound loads, play it; if not, trace failure loading.
[code]....
I think it's got to do with the fact that once I put it inside a function you are nesting functions (there is a function call from the onLoad event).
I tried changed the line:
my_sound.onLoad=function(success: Boolean) { to my_sound.onLoad=myFunctionName(parameters go here)
and then I created a funciton called myFunctionName but I wasn't sure how to send the sound object or what parameters the function should have or how to get the .start() method to work inside the new function.
I created a button in Illustrator and imported to my Flash library. The button has drop shadows, overlay and gradients. It imports and previews just fine until I change it to a button. When I go to preview it, there are these thick red boxes that seems to incase every layer of the button?
There is a Shell and a Module. The Shell loads the Module. Module is never run without the Shell. Because there will be more modules, I decided to put common classes to Shell.
1. Compiled Shell with -link-report objShell_Extern.xml
2. Compiled Module with -load-externs obj<ShellProject>_Extern.xml Module size shrank from 90 KB to 2,05 KB.
3. Added 5 filters to Module:
import flash.filters.*; tf.filters = [new GlowFilter(), new GradientGlowFilter(), new DropShadowFilter(), new BevelFilter(), new BlurFilter() ];
Module size grew to 2,15 KB.
4. Added 5 filters to Shell (same code as above), recompiled it, then recompiled Module.Module size still at 2,15 KB.
5. Tried getDefinitionByName //import flash.filters.*; commented out var GlowFilter:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("GlowFilter")); var GradientGlowFilter:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("GradientGlowFilter"));
[code]....
Error #1065 GlowFilter not initialized, Module size grew to 2,19 KB. Deleting some, but not all filters is decreasing size, so it's not the getDefinitonByName that takes 0,14 KB (2,19 - 2,05 without filters).
1. Do I understand the idea of load externs, or does it work only with specific classes? Why it doesn't work with filters?
2. What did I screw up with getDefinitionByName and is it a new feature because of it's use like in link below?
I am building my short flash as3 tweener driven movie.I have some mcs that have their own animation and they are placed on the stage.I am finding that flash is requiring me to continually put:
Code: import caurina.transitions.* into the beginning of every nested mc timeline.
I was wondering if someone could give me another clue.I am building my short flash as3 tweener driven movie.

Am I doing everything right? Seems like this shouldnt be necessary since it is imported on the main timeline already..
I have made two input forms, one for the subject and one for the message, and a button. Now, my problem is that I want the data from the form to go into the users email program in the right boxes.
I don't want the button to send the message!! Just open the message in the email program.
I did the Tutorial "Forms with Components" on this page. I was wondering, is it possible instead of printing the information on the screen when pressing the button you can have it send to you in an email when pressing the button.
how do i make a button trigger a movie clip that targets specific coords? I'm building a map and when a button is click it goes to a defined point. right now it jumps to the coords, but i'd much rather it smoothly move instead. the other thing is that i would like it to move from whatever point it is currently at.
I am using a flipbook Flash/Actionscript 3.0 framework for a digital magazine[url]...
You can have videos embedded in the pages of the flipbook, but they can not be display fullscreen like Youtube videos, for example.
The flipbook can also import swf files to display as pages of the flipbook, so another way of embedding videos into a page of the flipbook would be to have the video player in the swf page you are embedding. This gives you more control over the style and the positioning of the video.
My question is: Is there a way with AS3.0 to togle the embedded video from normal predefined size to fullscreen and back?
the source files work perfectly when I upload them to my server - but when I insert the form into my flash website - I am unable to receive the contact email at all. The problem must be with the flash file becuase I have not altered the php (except to send to my email)
I am using Flash CS3 (but publishing for action script2) I have double checked all my input field sare named correctly with var_names that match the php code. The form fields have been created as a moviclip named "form" and the following action script attached:
I'm working on a contact form for one of my clients, and need help implementing it. It has to have three fields (name, phone, and email) and three more fields where they can upload images from their computer. There's gonna be a submit button that when they hit, it emails these six pieces of info. (Presumably using a PHP file.)
I am having an issue where if I import a graphic to the library or directly to the stage, it causes my movie to stop on frame #1, even though the graphic is on frame #40. I have tried a .png, .jpg, and .psd and they all cause this behavior. I have put other graphics in and never had this issue.
basically i imported a SWF within my flash file from an external file and only the randomize button works on the file none of the rest from the imported flash can anyone let me know why, if you need me to let me know and i will upload files
it seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)

which gave no errors on validation.When I preview in Flash, everything looks good except the thin black border and the fact that when the button is pressed, nothing happens.
I am using loadVars with the send method to send my contact info to a php file. This works fine but when I press the submit button the browser goes to the email.php file. How do i prevent it from opening that file in the browser window?
I have a site where an .swf is loaded into frame 11 of the main timeline using newLoader().In this .swf there is an titlebuttons_mc with seven buttons in, images_mc etc.How do i navigate back to, background_mc, frame 40, which is on frame 1 of the main timeline.

I have been searching for a tutorial to teach me how to create a custom form. Unfortunately there are none. I've tried taking a few free forms I have found and customizing them but to no avail. Therefore, I have come to this fountain of knowledge to see if I can find what I am looking for. I want to fully understand how to construct the forms and the php file in the event I need to create different types of custom forms successfully. I need a form that has the name, email, phone number and of course the send button.
Is it possible to create a contact form and have it saved onto an existing spreadsheet or xml file or text file on the hard drive without having to be connect to the internet?
When I import a psd layered file I get an unwanted (red) border appearing around the art and as a box around the art. This doesn't exist in the psd file, but appears in the flash file. Should I convert and import it as something else? Is it a resolution setting in flash?
I have a feeling this is a really basic question, but I am pretty new to Flash. I've imported an FLV file. This file is a slideshow of photographs with a Ken Burns effect already applied. I was hoping that I would be able to see the video frames on a timeline.What I then want to be able to do is jump to different frames (approximately where the photo changes) as a result of clicking buttons.
I've imported a flv video file into my movie but it always has a black border no matter what changes we make to the export dimensions of file from Adobe Premier.
I really need the flv to be seamless on a white background.
