View 3 RepliesI have an image on the stage which is bigger than the stage itself:
The stage is 700x550
The image is 2100x1650, and it's registration point is at its center, if I remember correctly.The initial location of the image on the stage is 350,75.I want to make sure that the user will be able to drag the image, as long as the edges of the image doesn't show.here's what I did:
mapRect = new Rectangle(0-mapMC.width/2, 0-mapMC.height/2, mapMC.width, mapMC.height);
and later on:
mapMC.startDrag(false,mapRect);
The the top and the left of the image are bounded well, but as far as the bottom and the right side of the image.

I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?
View 2 RepliesI have a preloader in the fist frame of my movie. My movie has child movies (photo galleries). These are swf files that are linked to the main movie. When I simulate download, the preloader does not show up the fist 50% of the loading time. Then it shows up and works fine. I went to the loader in the Library. Under Linkage, I clicked EXPORT and uncheked "export in first frame". It didn't work. I have still the same problem. Can anyone help me. I am using Flash 3 Action Script 2 Additionally, when I simulate loading my photo galleries that are linked to the main movie don't show up. this is the code that I am using for the preloader: stop(); LoaderInt = setInterval (Lbar, 10); function Lbar (){ if(getBytesLoaded() >= getBytesTotal()){ play(); clearInterval(LoaderInt); } fill_MC._xscale = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100); }

how to do the following.
I have a map, placed on the stage in its entirety.I only want to show a portion of this on screen though. Then as the mouse moves to the edge of this visble frame I want to pan over the map in that direction. just can't work out how to do it. It must be a relatively simple process but for the life of me I can't work it out.
I'm thinking maybe some kind of mask then you move the map around beneath it? I've been trying to use a couple of scrolling tile-based games tutorials but this is less complicated and I can't sceen out all the extra stuff the game tutorials are doing.
The code that I'm working on is HUGE (over 10 .as files, each with 1000+ lines), so I won't post any of it, but you should be able to follow the general idea.
What I'm doing is loading movieclips within movieclips.
For example, let's say I have a movieclip with a black background and two buttons. When I click on one of the buttons, it loads an XML file which contains labels and images and data. However, this XML file is loaded INTO the same movieclip, so that it is kinda on top of it. That means that the black background is completely covered up by the new images loaded. However, since the XML file is getting changing data, I have a refresh function which removes the XML movieclip and loads it again.
The problem is that when the XML movieclip gets removed temporarily to refresh, the black background and buttons underneath can be seen and that doesn't look very good.
The code is too extensive for me to figure out how to put everything into a new movieclip dynamically.
What I thought of doing was to create a movieclip in between these two movieclips which displays a blank white screen. I got that to work, but I had a few problems with the back button because now it needed to remove two mcs instead of one. However, that is also working now. Is there a better way to do this instead of creating a blank mc?
The ACTUAL problem I have is this: When the page refreshes, the labels from the XML file remain...which makes it look ugly before the pictures get loaded. I think that this might just be that the labels load a lot faster than the pictures, thus, giving the illusion that they never refreshed in the first place; I'm not sure about that though. Is there any way to get the images to load before the labels get reloaded (if they do in fact get reloaded)?
I made a little trivia game that loads questions from an xml file. The problem is, if you leave the app and come back to it, it starts you back at the start screen again. Is there anyway to overwrite this, or is it the same as refreshing a browser page with a Flash animation on it, it'll always keep restarting?
View 5 RepliesI have a small problem with a preloader in Flash MX. It seems to become stuck at "frame 0" instead of showing the preload bar, etc...and I didn't know there was a "frame 0"? When I test it with "show streaming", the screen is blank and the preloader doesn't show, then, when the movie is done loading, the preloader flashes up briefly. I have 2 frames on my main timeline. Frame 1 is the preloader, and frame 2 contains a clip which constitutes the main movie. Frame 2 has stop() and both are labelled correctly i.e. when the movie is finished loading gotoAndPlay("movie") (frame 2) is executed.
View 3 RepliesI have one textfield which is presented like _root.screen1.screen2.textfield1
screen2 is the movieclip within screen1. They are movieclips and textfield1 is the textfield
I tested like
_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text="Hi, can u see me?";
trace(_root.screen1.screen2.textfield1.text);
Then I can see the result of trace which have the text I wrote, but I cannot see anything on the screen.
why it is like this and how to modify then ?
I have an object that is instantiated, then placed into a property within a singleton (single instance) object. When a button is clicked an event is dispatched carrying a payload that references the display object that is held within the Singleton. When the event is heard, my view object adds the object to the display list e.g. addChild().The Item shows. Now If I hit another button an event is dispatched, and a new item is added to the display list via the method above and is seen. The 1st object is removed from the display list Here is my problem. When I click the button to load the 1st Object the above process is executed again but the object does not show.
I can run trace statements from the object that is supposed to be visible and they run fine. I even do a check to see if the visible property is set to true, and it is, but not object is on my screen. Code for this process.
//custom event carries the name of the page aka display object. this is a string
dispatchEvent(new MenuEvent(MenuEvent.CHANGE_VIEW_STATE, event.payload));
//When the event is heard, the following condinial is run

I am having a problem cancelling the execution of a function. When I click on the first of my navigation buttons, I have a fade in tween and an image loader load an external image. If I click on the second navigation button befiore the function for the 1st button finishes, the 1st tween and image loader continue to finish while the tween and image loader function for the 2nd navigation button starts. Essentially, there is an overlap. Is there a way to tell the 2nd navigation button to stop all other functions before it starts its own function? I suspect it has something to do with stopImmediatePropagation, but I am unsure of how to put this into the function.

View 2 RepliesI am building a Flex and PHP application in which I am providing users a Save results option, which will invoke the php service that generates the results file. I then have the FileReference.download (url) function with the url of the file generated. Problem here is the popup to save comes before the file is even generated in the server. So user will get the incomplete file as the file generation will take atleast 10-15 seconds.
printToFile.token = customerTyped.printToFile(customerArray,displayno);
var filepath:String= "[URL]"+displayno+".txt";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filepath);
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.download(request);**
I think the function(service) call to PHP function
customerTyped.printToFile(customerArray,displayno);
does not wait for it to return and continues to execute the next statements asynchronously. How do I make the download dialog to wait from popping up until the printToFile php function is completed?
I'm querying Rotten Tomatoes' API for movies listed in an XML document.

View 1 RepliesI'm designing a website with flash cs4 and actionscript3. Every section is made with a movieclip, which is faded in and out when a menu button is clicked.
I've noticed that the first time I click on a menu button, the fadein or fadeout effect of the corresponding section is not fluid (I'm using caurina tweener), but the section movieclip appears/disappears suddenly. I suppose it may be a buffering problem, because when I click the section button for the second time, the fadein and out is fluid.
how do you stop the execution of a function?
