I'm working on a big app. I need to enable back native keyboard shortcuts(e.g. CTRL+T opens new tab). e.isDefaultPrevented() called in handler returns false, but still when I press CRTL+T new tab is not opened. Is there some other way to disable keyboard shortcuts except e.preventDefault()?
View 1 RepliesAre native browser shortcuts(e.g. CTRL+T opens new tab) enabled/disabled be default? How can I enable/disable them?

View 1 RepliesI have a photo gallery that can be navigated via arrow keys and various keyboard shortcuts. However on the same SWF is also a contact form...now whenever you fill it in and use the 'F' key it tries to put the flash file into Full ScreenHow can I disable all shortcuts when in frame 30 of my SWF (the contact form) and then re-enable them when moving away from that frame.Using Flash CS5 with SlideshowPro. Have looked over the web but can't find very much on this issue at all (surprising?)
View 1 RepliesAccessibility is driving me up the WALL! I have a system that has menu pop-ups and because of accessibility when the user selects OK it does what ever action the pop-up does and when the user presses ESC it leaves the menu. My issue is this all works fine when testing it in the swf file and selecting the 'disable keyboard shortcuts' BUT when I embedded it into HTML is loses this function and the short cuts stop working and at points activate html stuff. Is there a line of code or something that I can place in the .swf or .html that will disable the keyboard shortcuts?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to capture keyboard events with the following code. I'm testing in an external popup flash player in FlashDevelop and it ain't tracing anything. I reckon it might be something to do with keyboard shortcuts in the flash player.

I'm working on a small piece that involves a movieclip that scrolls slowly from the beginning on enterframe, but when a button is clicked it goes directly to a certain point on the x axis.
The first piece of it is here:[URL]..You'll see it's kind of wack right now, bc I can't figure this one issue out...

I'm trying to make an animation possible to play in two different ways. The first one is to play animation from beginning to end without stopping The second one is an interactive way - something like slideshow made in powerpoint. My idea was to use gotoAndPlay() function with stop() function. It doesn't work the way as I expect. For instance - I've one animation made of 500 frames. It makes up some 10 slides. If I put after every 50 frames stop() function then it's impossible to play this animation from beginning to end without stopping because of stop(). How to handle this? It would be nice if there was a function to indicate to play between some frames. For example, start playing from 1 until 50, then stop. Then start playing from 52 until 100 and stop .... then from 450 to 500. Besides that from 1 to 500.

View 2 RepliesHow to load images in as3:Load them all at once, for example like this (pseudo as3 code):

This should be very simple: I want to fade-in a Movieclip (called MC1) using Actionscript.I normally use this (and it works just fine):
[AS]
this.MC1._alpha = 0;
this.MC1.onEnterFrame = function()
{
[code]....
Well, even though I can see the alpha values decreasing step by step (throughout the "trace" instruction), the fact is that the MC does not fade-in at all, it's just starts at a 100% alpha value.How comes this illogical behaviour? The instruction "trace" shows what it should do, but Flash does not fade it in.
I work for the NPS, and they have an outdated CMS. I have no rights to upload an .html file, or edit one that the CMS makes. SO, I am forced to use their little deal to display my .swf files. url...I made an eHike in as3 Flash CS4. It has two scenes, the first scene is the preload, second is splash content and ehike content. The problem is I cant get the preloader to display in IE. I have all actionscript content exported to the second frame, as talked about here:[code]I have tried many different ways to load the preloader.there is a simple text field for the percentage, and a simple 100 frame animation. preloader_mc.[code]The CMS lets you decide in the popup window if it is resizeable or not. This works in IE (stopping people from resizing), but not in firefox, people can resize it. Is there any way to disable the resize in AS3? Again, I understand that your supposed to export the .html file with these settings, but I have no permissions to upload or create new .html files.
View 1 RepliesOK, this is starting to annoy me pretty intensely. For some reason the esc key shortcuts are not functioning, and nothing I do seems to be able to restore them. Even ticking the 'Esc Key Shortcuts' option in the actions panel dropdown menu has falied to make it possible for me to do as much as type 'esc-s-t' to bring up 'stop()'
View 2 RepliesI just recently switched from FLASH 8 to FLASH CS3 and noticed that by default, when working at the "Actionscript" window, I can no longer do shortcuts with keyboards. One good example is before at F8, if I want to add STOP to a keyframe, all I need to do is pre ESC then "S" and "T".
View 1 RepliesI have a 30 second long animation (18fps). Movie symbol 135 frames long which loop 4 times using countTextField/if/else etc. and then gotoAndStop on a static frame. According to the company that are posting it on their site, the animation doesn't stop.
Are there any other ways of completely stopping an animation?
One thing i've learned in VBA, is there are multiple ways to skin a cat in Excel. I want this:
Only, I'm rather frustrated with trying to convert my AS1 coded template into the AS3 for the day. So I'm guessing I can't use the UiLoader like in the video unless i'm missing some checkbox somewhere.
Any one now how to do the similar thing only using AS1 and in "for dummies" language please?
So far this community rocks with the feedback and help. I'm sure some genious knows.
I'm building a historical timeline app in Flash. The main feature will be an MC containing links to specific event in the history of an organization. The MC will scroll, and there will be a couple ways to scroll it. One type of navigation will be fwd/backward buttons, and I want them to work such that if the button is pressed and held, an MC containing links will scroll w/increasing speed (up to a limit), but if the button is clicked, it will just move the MC a specified amt.
An example of what I want to accomplish can be seen it this HP timeline: [URL]

I've been playing around with some simple test animations using Arrays in various ways. One of them consists of 15 squares and I want them to grow and shrink as I mouse over them. I've gotten it to work with both Tween and onEnterFrame, but for some reason it will not work with setInterval. It's something to do with clearInterval. When I pass the i value to a new square the previous one stops where it is instead of continuing to grow and shrink. Tween and onEnterFrame don't have that problem at all. I've attached two fla files. The one using onEnterFrame works just fine. The setInterval one really doesn't work at all.
arrayTestOverEnter.fla
arrayTestOverInt.fla
Just a curious question. Apart from Graph API, is there any other way of delivering data to facebook from flash(as3).
View 3 RepliesI have made an animation and a pause/play button within it using [code]...
However, as there are lots of movie clips in my animation, the pause button doesn't pause these or the music. Does anyone know of any software you can download that has prebuilt movie controllers for SWF movies that would let the user pause/play/mute it. Or if anyone can advise me if there is a relatively simple way I can tell the animation to stop playing all movies and sound when the pause button is pressed.
My keyboard shortcuts have quit working. I'm not talking custom shortcuts that I have defined. The default Flash shortcuts just don't work anymore.Before anyone asks, yes, I have made sure the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" option is turned off. I'm running Flash CS4 on a Windows XP pro machine.
View 2 RepliesI'm teaching a class for Flash CS3 on the Mac to about 24 students. I've been using Flash in Windows for a long time, but it's been awhile since I worked on a Mac.Our classroom has about 24 iMacs running the latest OS X (not sure exactly which version). Several Flash keyboard shortcuts don't work -- shortcuts that I use a lot, like F8 to convert to symbol.I was able to successfully disable the goofy Mac search feature that takes over another common Adobe shortcut that I use a lot (CMD-Space, in Flash/Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign it allows you to temporarily access the zoom tool). In the System Prefs control panel, there was a shortcut for F8 for some other system feature, but even with that disabled, the shortcut still doesn't work in Flash.
Another strange thing that's happening with most of these Macs: the Properties panel popup for creating a tween doesn't work. Applying a tween in other ways --- the Insert menu, CTRL-clicking and choosing from the popup menu -- works fine. If a tween is applied with the properties panel, the tween appears as broken (dashed line) in the Timeline.
I would love to backup my Flash CS4 keyboard shortcuts, but I could not find the file anywhere on my harddrive. I searched for every *.WFX file (or at least that was the right file type for older versions of Flash). I even tried to make an advanced search for all files on my PC and sort them by date modified, right after I made some changes in Flashes keyboard shortcuts - hoping that I would find the file, but haven't.
View 2 RepliesI'm assuming the answer to my question is "no" but figure it's worth asking just in caseI'm mostly an AS3 coder, but I need to work on library assets quite often to set classnames on assets so they can be instantiated through code. This usually involves hunting through the Library for the asset I need, then giving it a new name, clicking the tiny little "info" icon at the bottom of the window to bring up the Properties panel for the library item, and assigning a class name etc.
My problem is bringing up the Properties panel is not as quick and simple as it should be. That "info" icon really is tiny, and right-clicking the item in the library and scrolling through it to get to the "Properties" item is fiddly and error prone.What I really want is a keyboard shortcut. There doesn't seem to be one, and I can't assign one in the otherwise excellent Keyboard Shortcuts... menu item since Library commands are not listed there. It is not even a menu item so I can't even trigger it with applescript.
ActionScript allows you to mark a variable as [Bindable], causing any changes to that variable to have immediate effect all over your application.How would you implement this feature in your favourite programming language?
