I'm working with a lot of mp3 files and I want to be able to stop an mp3 file from loading from the server if the user selects a different mp3. How do I do this? Here is my code so far:

Is there any way to tell which item a user selects from a List? I already have a "change" event listener, but that doesn't tell me WHICH item was clicked (at least, I don't think it does.)
[edit: forgot the XML part...the list is generated from an xml file:]
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<songs>
<song display="Hallelujah Chorus: A Soulful Celebration" url="001.mp3">

The reason I need to know which song I'm on is so I can reference the <composer> child tag for the correct song.
A student of mine is wanting to create a drag and drop game in which the user selects a possible answer for a range, drags it over a object named as "dropzone". the correct answer is left over the dropzone, and the user clicks the check button they need to be sent to a frame displaying "correct" - otherwise, sent to a frame for incorrect.I currently have a set up in which the user is given an auto response using a dynamic text box and all is done on the one frame, but this student wants to be a little different.

im creating a card game. i have a seperate timeline for the menu bar. ive placed this code on the first cell of the timeline:
Code:
import mx.controls.Menu;
import mx.controls.MenuBar;[code].....
the problem i get is that when the user selects "new game" it should restart the game. when it does this the toolbar is not reset. instead a new menu item is added (without removing the old one. so evertime the user hits new game, a new "file" menu is added). how do i make sure there is only 1 "File" menu? and im using actionscript 2
Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?

I can't really understand how can Adobe let the developers release such a messy embedded Flash editor. Please, fix the line copying, it drives me mad. In every normal editor, when u get to the start of the line and press shift+downarrow, the whole line is selected. Flash selects the tabs in the next line also. So pasting is a horrible nightmare.
View 1 RepliesIf you press a keyboard key on an ADG the selected row moves to the first line it finds whose first column cell's text starts with the character you just pressed. Does anyone know if there's a property to turn that behavior off?

I can't select some of my text objects!!They are all in the same layer, I've inactivated all other layers, but when clicking the keyframe it selects 5 out of 9 textfields.. And when clicking the (non selected) textfields nothing happens, what is wrong?? The layer is not locked since I still can change the other textfields.. I can't delete them or anything! If they where converted to MovieClips I know I could change them via the object library, but is there a similar way to select objects that aren't in the list?

I have a little turn-based combat app where I use a Timer so enemy units can attack in sequence, and to allow time for animations to play.Works great for them. But if the user hits the attack button too rapidly, friendly units miss there turn.I tried inserting a toggling Boolean var and saying "It's not your turn!" when you click to attack. That works, there is indeed a text prompt, but friendly units still miss turns.Any techniques to address this welcome, especially if they don't involve a Timer.

View 4 RepliesI have a portfolio_mc that is inside of a content_mc (stage->content_mc->portfolio_mc). There are 3 buttons that take the user to an appropriate frame designated by a frame label and this loads up an FLV. The problem is that when I click on any of the navigation buttons on the main timeline, the FLV that is currently playing, is still playing (I can hear the audio). How to stop this.
Here is the code used for controlling the buttons in the motion_mc timeline:
stop();
var naviArr:Array = new Array(btn01, btn02, btn03);
btn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);

My site is here: [URL] If you note though, unless the pause button is selected, it transitions too fast. How do I stop it and let the user navigate/drive?

View 1 RepliesI am making a game where I want to have a timer running over each level (a total of 4). When the user has finished the game, I want the timer to stop and then display their time. I have 2 dynamic text boxes with the varibles set to them as "Seconds" and the other as "Min". Here is the ActionScript I have for it right now:

I have an opening screen which asks the user to enter the first name and then they click the "start" button.This then loads an external swf into it and it starts a quiz on a timer.All that works except that the timer starts sometime during opening swf.I'm not sure if it's when the main swf is loaded or if when the user clicks in the input box but it is definitely not when the user clicks the "start" button like I have programmed.I even tried to stop the timer until the user clicks a button on the second swf (the external swf that is loaded into the main swf)[code]In the loaded swf I have a clock_mc that holds the timer.the first frame has a simple stop(); and the second holds all of the code that makes the clock run.I then have code setup so that when the user clicks a button the clock_mc.gotoAndPlay(2)[code]

View 6 RepliesI have two xmls, xml1 and xml2. Both have same structure, only data are different. Button 1 loads xml1 and button2 loads xml2. Both calls same function to load XML. First i press button1, so xml1 starts loading, but if before xml1 is completely loaded, i press button2, xml2 also starts loading. If for some reason the xml2 loads first i get data from xml2. But when i look at the bandwidth profiler in flash , xml1 is still loading. When xml1 is loaded it will replace data from xml2. SInce i pressed button2 last, i would want data from xml2. So is it possible to stop loading the previous xml when i start loading another xml?

I have a custom video player that loads videos from an external xml file. It uses all actionscript to control the video using the attatchVideo(ns).
At present the video starts playing as soon as the video opens, I would like the video to only start playing after the user clicks the play button.
What is the actionscript I need to achieve this?
* all the actionscript for all buttons etc. is on one layer called actions. Videos are external not on layers.
I have a flash page that loads a video. Under that I have a button tcalled "Audio Demos" that opens a pop up with an audio player.
The problem is that the video keeps playing, so I need some code that stops the video when the user clicks on the "Audio Demos" button.
Here's the code for the button:
function getGilbertAudiodemos(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.gilbert.net.au/demo.html"));
}
gil_audio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getGilbertAudiodemos);
Using the tutorials on the gotoandlearn main page I built a custom video player that loads the videos from an xml file and it works great. At present the video starts playing as soon as the video opens, I would like the video to only start playing after the user clicks the play button.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a little website in flash.. I have some video that plays automatically once the user goes to that section (I am using frame labels to navigate from section to section of the site). But, when the user clicks another button to go to a different page, the video is still playing because I hear it..How can I stop the video from playing once another button gets clicked?
View 20 RepliesI am building a flash application using flex. From time to time, I see an issue in IE 7 and 8 where the user logs into the site and the browser content pane is completely grey and the entire page (html, javascript and flash) won't load until the user clicks the X (Stop) button next the address bar. As soon as the X is clicked, the html loads and then the swf file loads immediately.
This doesn't happen for me or any other developers on the project so it is very hard to diagnose. The users are all using the latest flash player. The only difference between our setups that I can think of is that we have the debug version of flash player and they probably do not.
I'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")
[Code] .....
This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.
I have a flash site that has a presentation page it has a menu of two buttons (1) to take you to a slide show and (2) that takes you to the gallery. These are the only two buttons that seem to work in control test movie, I get no errors. The only button that is connected is the slideshow button (I haven't done the gallery yet). This button takes you to frame two. Where I have the main website. It has its own menu that spans across the entire website which is 25 frames.
Each frame represents a new page. I have mini menus at frames 3, 5, and ten. That are supposed to just advance the user to correct frame labels and stop. The only buttons that work are the ones in the first frames. The rollovers appear to work on all the pages when I advance the movie using the [ . ] key but I get no trace statement which means that it is not being acknowledged, all my buttons are named properly I believe so here is the code as well, all is in frame one:
stop();
//handle events for buttons...
Gallery.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Location.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Guest.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
Lodging.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);

i'm making a rollover menu with AS3, and when the user mouse clicks I want it to go to a certain frame in a movie clip and stop. It does this fine, however I have an animation for it to play on Mouse out. So when user mouse clicks then mouse outs from the button area it plays my mouse out animation and i'm back to square one. How can i tell it to ignore the mouse out animation if the user has clicked the button?
