If you were to open a fire fox browser and check out http://173.203.200.81/ you would see a really fast animation all based of arrays that are called in a timer event. If you open the same page in IE it runs slow.my timer event runs one function so it can run very fast. It looks like in IE the timer is based off of frames per second more than the set value of the timer.
View 9 RepliesHow can I get a Flash timer that runs? But I need the numbers to have a specific font, so does that make it trickier?
View 14 RepliesI'm attempting to make a code which disables two tweening buttons while a timer runs. The timer starts when you click one of the buttons, and stops after two seconds. For some reason though, it isn't working, and I can't figure out why.
Code:
//import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
[Code].....
Basically what happens is 5 eggs fall from the top of the screen. What I'm trying to have happen is, to have flash recognize when all 5 have been clicked and goto and stop on frame 3. The other problem is I want the animation to reset when the timer runs out. Thus clearing all current eggs off the stage. I've zipped the 2 files I'm working with the (fla and as files).

View 4 RepliesI am loading an xml file using AS2.0. On Mac, all the elements load completely, but as soon as I run it on Windows, only the first element of type item loads. When I run it on Mac, the elements are loaded in and all item's are separate buttons. When I run it on Windows, only one button appears and its name is ch1. Virgin Group Holdings. None of the other item elements load. I don't have a Windows versions of Flash to work on, so I cannot debug.Is there another way to determine if this has to do with the XML file loading incompletely or with the depths of the Movieclips? Here is the URL

I am now running this file from a remote server (Linux box), but still only the first element loads on Windows, with no siblings. On Mac, everything loads fine, I am at a dead end, my deadline (draft #2) for this is in about 12hours and I still need to get a night's rest in. Does anyone have the slightest inkling what this could be? Any pointers or advice will be cordially accepted. The url.
I am now debugging in Windows and have found that the XML file does get loaded completely eventually. What is odd is that I trace the _x and _y values of all the movieclips, and all change constantly to an acceptable value, but still only the first-added movieclip is visible on the stage. I have traced their depths which do in fact differ, they are enabled (traced), they are _visible (traced that also), everything works perfect on Mac, except when I run it on Windows, so clearly, Flash Player in Windows in doing something unexpected, has anybody encountered this before?

Basically my masks are not being loaded on init()... I'm loading external XML so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that.
Player :Flash 9Script : AS3IDE : Adobe Flash CS3I have 9 dynamic text fields; each is filled with text (a title). When you click one it updates two larger text fields at the top to display the title in the first one and the description in the second. When you hover over the text fields, the cursor remains an arrow.In the IDE, this script works just fine. However, when I upload it to my website, clicking on the titles does not change the large fields above them. Also, when I hover the mouse over any of the text fields but the very first one, the pointer changes to a text editing line.

I am programming in AS3. I've made a game that functions correctly every time on every computer I've tried except for one.I don't get any errors, but a movie clip that should be stopped seems to be playing through its sounds. The animation doesn't play, though! I can't reproduce the problem on any other machines, but it happens every time on that one.
View 1 RepliesI have one swf, and roughly 4 or 5 classes. when the swf loads, the document class places 3 movieclips onto the stage- one of them animates across the screen. Using the tween class, I listen for the COMPLETE tweenEvent, which when triggered, instatiates a slideshow class. the slideshow class loads in a series of pics.On safari(mac), linux, no issues. on firefox(mac), the 3 mc's never appear, but instead, there is the same time delay as if the animation did play, and then the pics DO load. my client says everything works fine on first load, but returning back to the page after navigating away causes the same problem I described above. THey are on IE- probably 7.

I tried other MP3 files and they worked no problem. Does anyone know if there's a specific type of MP3s that Flash hates? Maybe I need to convert my MP3 to be encoded differently?

I have an SWF file that works great when I publish it or view it in the Flash Player. However, when I use Simulate Download, all the buttons' functionality gets messed up - for some reason, clicking them results in the playhead going to other frames than it's supposed to. I've tried uploading the file to my website and the buttons don't work well there either.

I recently built a game and tested it on a few computers. It seems there are 3 different ways that it loads. One doesn't seem to load properly the first time so I have to refresh once, one loads fine, and one loads but something is wrong so the user can't play and refreshing doesn't fix it.What can cause flash to be loaded so differently between computers? Is it the browser? is it the flash player? Is it the OS?
View 6 RepliesI am creating a flash banner using a layered psd. The account team is happy with the look of the psd. BUT, when I bring the images into flash and publish the file, the colors look different. I import them into flash at the highest quality yet they don't look the same.
View 5 RepliesI was just conducting a little experiment, basically trying to come up with a stage resizing handler that would position everything on the stage with its x and y proportionate to its original position. That's when I discovered a very interesting thing.
Shapes that you draw using flash's drawing tools are treated completely differently than dynamically drawn shapes. Basically shapes you draw on the stage in the authoring tool would seem to have no x and y of their own, and also no matter how many different shapes you draw, to the compiler it's all one "child" object because it's all just one big shape.
To illustrate this difference, I created two separate files, but they both (seemingly) do essentially the same thing. In the first file, I drew a red circle shape dynamically with code, and set its x and y with code:
ActionScript Code:
var circle:Shape = new Shape();
var g:Graphics = circle.graphics;
g.beginFill(0xFF0000);
[code]...
In a second file, I manually drew a similar red circle shape, made it 100 pixels wide and tall, and positioned it at 100, 100 using the properties panel. This time, I took away the code that creates the circle dynamically and just kept the for loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int = 0; i < this.numChildren; i++) {
var item:DisplayObject = this.getChildAt(i) as DisplayObject;
trace(item); //[object Shape]
trace(item.x); //0
trace(item.y); //0
}
In this second example, no matter how many and what kinds of shapes you draw, there will only ever be one display child and the x and y is always 0,0.
I for one kind of wish there were more of a one-to-one correspondence between the Flash IDE and the code window. Like, if we can create Shapes and name them dynamically, why can't we create Shapes and name them at authoring time? Or why isn't this now the role of the good ol' Graphics symbol? It's kind of like Flash and Actionscript have outgrown the authoring environment.
This would seem to have the effect of further widening the gap between design and development. Just thought I'd throw all this out there and see what kind of comments I get.
I got some dynamic textfields in my flash movie loading html-formatted text. it works fine.but my boss tried it out in a Macintosh and sent me a screenshot where I could see that there is a shorter distance between the lines and a shorter distance between the characters.
How can this be? Macromedia claims that Flash looks the same in all platforms.[URL]
Which is the easiest way to format differently specific words inside the same textfield ?
Using css html ?
I have a linux distribution server, SME Server, and I use it to direct several domain names to a website on the server. My Flash program is a data driven directory that uses PHP constructed XML files to create the directory. I have been successfully using this Flash directory for some time using one particular domain, ictytranscripts.dyndns.org. I've since added a second domain name that I want to replace the first with, but for some reason the Flash program cannot read the XML files, or something. Whatever it is, the directories are not showing up.
There is nothing in the ActionScripts that have any reference to the old first domain name. I cannot imagine what is making the difference. Here is a test page showing the Flash program working successfully (I assume):
[URL]
And now the same page from different domains that direct to the same page:

Notice that in the first the Flash program comes up, but there is no data displayed and in the second, there is no Flash program displayed at all.The XML files seem to be generated without any problems. [URL]

View 10 RepliesI am working on a very simple game in Flash. I want to make all the animations framerate agnostic, so that I can change the framerate without affecting the flow and speed of the game.I read somewhere that if you want to do that, you simply create a Timer object and attach an event listener to this timer.
What if I have many objects that have to listen to the same timer? See the code to understand what I am trying to do. At this stage nothing breaks, but the event does not fire.Here is the Main class, the one that runs on swf execution:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
private static var _stage:Stage;
private static var _timer:Timer;

View 1 RepliesI am using basic addEventListeners and functions to create a basic navigation for my homepage... when I test the movie on my local drive it fuctions perfectly, but when I upload it to the www, the movie behaves different... All the buttons must be clicked twice to function properly.... each button uses the UI Loader to load the appropriate .swf clip, but on the first load the movies dont function properly, when the same button is clicked again and the movie is loaded again, it works fine. I noticed cause I have a preloader for every movie clip that loads and on the first click it doesnt work, on second click it works, and because it function fine on my local drive I'm lost as to what I can do to fix the problem, or what the problem is.

When I open the file, it says that 'tahoma' font is missing on my computer. And asks me to select a replacement. Obviously, I have Tahoma on my computer -- everyone does. I even got her to send her version of Tahoma to me from her Windows Font Folder. When I tried to install it, it says "font already installed". So, I pointed it to my Tahoma font as a replacement. This could be the problem. But why does it not recognize my version of tahoma?
I am trying to build a sort of button bar in Flex - something like the horizontally laid-out bookmark bar you'd see in most modern web browsers, where when you run out of horizontal space, you can click on the arrows button(>>) to get a drop-down to see the rest of the items which did not fit into the horizontal space. Problem is, how can I know how much horizontal space is available for me to tell how many buttons to render into the button bar? This need doesn't appear to be support by the general layout manager framework.
