View 6 Repliesi'm working on a project that uses php and xml to link my database information with flash. I've successfully allowed flash to read the xml contents. I need to randomise the data i retrieved from the database, so my xml content will change everytime i refresh the browser. However, i realised that the flash content didn't change like the xml content. The script to read the xml is written on the 1st frame of my 1st scene. Is there a way to read the xml again everytime i refresh the browser or re-enter the scene?
View 2 RepliesI'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.hen the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.

View 1 RepliesJust wondering if its possible to reload a swf into itself without hitting the browser refresh? Essentially, by clicking a button, I want to start the swf over, so all the variables are reset etc, without having to do this within the browser.
View 9 RepliesAt my site [URL] I have PHP/MySQL talking to flash, when the holder movie opens it loads my home.swf into the content movie clip... It works fine once but if you click the home button (which runs the same function) or refresh the page it blanks out the text field and won't reload the content.
Code:
stop();
goHome();
function goHome() {
_root.background_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
_root.holder_mc.loadMovie("home.swf");

I've been making a game and want it so you can play again - when I try and send it back to frame 1 (it's preloader) it doesn't really work. I was wondering if there was a way of basically refreshing or reloading the whole swf file?
View 3 RepliesI want an mp3 player stretched at the bottom of the screen that won't refresh on page reload. I just want to embed a basic mp3 player in some flash, or use jquery, or ajax? Not really sure. I'm most familiar with jquery and would prefer that route. I just not sure how you could have a div that stretches through every page, but only being defined in one page.
View 1 RepliesI have a photo gallery that runs in a container, which is added to the stage like so:
import com.xmlphotoalbum.*;
var gallery:XmlPhotoAlbum = new XmlPhotoAlbum();
gallery_container.addChild(gallery);
I want to have it set up so when you click on a "gallery" button, it reloads/refreshes the gallery to its initial state, because the "internal" navigation of the gallery isn't very intuitive...and so the only thing I can think of is essentially to remove the gallery and re-add it, whenever "gallery" button is clicked, which resets the gallery to its initial thumbnail view. I've tried fumbling around with removeChild, addChild, simple if statements, etc.
I am doing a tutorial from [URL] and I have a question. How can I have this swf reload the image every five seconds? the file name stays the same, but the image changes every 5 seconds and I would like the swf to show the updated images.

View 1 RepliesI have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc,
//resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter
onClipEvent(load) {
var maxWidth = 150;

I dynamically load in a .php file from a server as XML.What I would like to happen is for flash to load the XML every 2 seconds or to whatever time span I choose.
Code:
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "server.php?" + Math.random()*999;
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);

I have a piece of XML that goes out and grabs data. That data is being updated every so often. I want the user to be able to see the updated data by creating a way to reload it every x amount of time.
How do I use the timer to do this in Actionscript 3?

i want flash to refresh this function in every 1 seconds. how can i do that?
I had an issue with my index.html testing on IE and the preloader just stalls on "loading 0%". he told me that locally the progress event doesn't have time to load and to try uploading it to your server and see if it works. It worked just fine. Rah Rah Kglad.
So today I'm fine tuning the swf/ fla to clean it up. Reduced some picture sizes and deleted unused files and reduced the swf from 4000 KB to 350 KB Rah Rah Gene. replaced the swf in Dreamweaver and re-uploaded with Filezilla. Rah ah Filezilla.
Everything working great and my preload went from 23 seconds to less than 3. So I'm real happy except for one small issue. Firefox and IE both do this. If I hit the refresh button, it stalls on "loading 0%" once again just like it did locally.
If I hit the refresh several times it WILL refresh randomly....2 times refresh......10 times refresh etc.

Spoke to my hosting company who said everything seems fine on the server. BTW he said Chrome did NOT have this issue Rah Rah Chrome.
I'm getting a data which contains a certain number.
I need to find how many hours, minutes and seconds it stands for.
for example:
I'm getting the number 248 which means:
00 hours : 04 minutes : 08 seconds
When i use time varaible and then minus the time. Ive noticed that flash does not count down in seconds, but the speed of light. My maths are not very strong so how can i get flash to count in seconds
var time =60;
sprite.onEnterframe = function(){
time -=1; ( this counts faster than seconds)
}
I'm trying to figure out how I can make the sound file that I load into Flash start at x seconds and end at x+30 seconds.So basically, I just want a 30 second sample to play starting at a specific time position. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this or have links to somewhere I can read up on it?

I have a video player and trying to make a time indicator of minute and seconds.
View 3 Replies1) I want a 60 seconds video to start playing after 40 seconds have been downloaded - to do that I set the NetStream.bufferTime to 40 seconds and retrieve "NetStream.Buffer.Full" event causing the video to really start playing. This step is OK.
2) However, the "NetStream.Buffer.Full" causes data to stop downloading. So the remainder of the video begins to download no sooner than after the 40 seconds have been played. This step is my issue. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this unintended effect? (i.e. playing a video and downloading data at the same time?)
I have an animated logo swf file that loads and runs once on the home page every time the page loads. The logo has been updated to appear in three different colour schemes. I want one scheme to load and when the page is refreshed or revisited, one of the other colour schemes to load in its place. They can appear in any random order, just a different one to the one that played before reloading.
View 1 RepliesI have a form, when the user clicks reset, I want the flash file to reload so everything is back to it's intial settings.I should point out, its not on a server, it's just a local file, so I don't think I can use the .load function.
View 10 RepliesI have a simple flash website it is in AS3. Inside the website is a portfolio with a link to "print," "web," and "motion." When they click on motion, I have another swf that runs -- so far so good -- however, if they click off the "motion" page to look at any other page and then decide to go back to the "motion" page the swf no longer runs. The code I'm currently using is below. The swf that runs from the "motion" page is a component that I bought that is in AS2. Prior to buying it I asked the developer if it would work in AS3 and was told yes. I have posted these questions to the developer and have received no answer.

View 5 RepliesI've searched the internet for hours looking for a solution. Seems like a few people have posted the same problems I am having but no solutions.
I have a flash project that contains a preloader. The project can be seen in this header[url]...
The flash animation plays fine when first loaded. However, when IE is RELOADED or REFRESHED, the animation gets stuck on the first frame I believe. The bizarre thing is that is works perfectly in FireFox after reloads.
I have tried multiple different embedding solutions and nothing fixes it. I suspect it could be the action script on the preloader. It is a one-frame preloader, and then the animation begins.[code]...
Currently I am using this code to play a selection of .swf files using the keyboard.[code]Now I would like to detect the end of, say, 1.swf to load into a different swf, does anyone know how best to acheive this? I have tried a few tutorials with no success!
