I am struggling with what seems to be a simple problem. Searched and can't find the answer, it seems. I have an FLA I said I'd edit for a friend... just a few simple text edits. However, when I go to publish the movie, it makes a call to an external "State Manager" that it can't find, so the movie loops endlessly. Here is the actionscript: Code: Select allimport com.exanimo.managers.StateManager;
So I'm guessing it's looking find that at that domain. I guess that's the doing of the original programmer. However, I have noticed that there is a StateManager.js file on the webserver in the same directory where the SWF resides. Have I received an old FLA that pointed externally instead of to the local js manager? How can I change the syntax so that it finds the state manager locally?
I'm trying to drop in a quick mp3 player into a site that creates a playlist from an XML (to the folks at ClickPopMedia for the basics of the code). It works fine in the Flash testing environment, but when I put it online, or even on my local testing server, the playlist doesn't load ,just an empty space where the List component should be. I get this error in the debugger in the Flash environment even thought it works (C:htdocs is my localhost):Quote:Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.URL:file:///music.xmlat Mp3Main()[C:htdocsTrafficEntertainmentTE_sitephpsitemus icPlayerMp3Main.as:26]I'm assuming it's some sort of pathname or URLRequest issue but Every file involved is in the same folder for now. Do I need to do something different because it streams?The AS (only a portion):

I am trying to call multiple functions at different times from the same .as file. I asked this question in another forum but the reply did not work. I have 2 as3 books but they both only talk about calling a single function from the external file. Can someone detail the structure in the .as file as well as how to call it from the .fla? I am missing something and I can not figure out what it is
I am trying to make a movie that I want to have the movie call in an array from an external text file so I can change the contents without having to change the swf, how can I do this?
However as a programmer it's kind of important that I learn the language. Now, I know about myself that I won't learn anything if I read guides or try to learn the functions. I need tutorials to learn, in my opinion the best way to learn is to actually make stuff.So I was wondering, can anyone point me to a few tutorials for beginners?
I was trying to follow the photo gallery instructions in Flash MX from this site. I was fine until I got to the line that said... "now copy and paste this code into the actions dialog box." Well, when I opened the action box...where/how do you paste this action. I opened the action box, then clicked movie control, but I do not see a line to add the code. [URL]..
I have a contact us form (I got with a pre built template)However when posting form data to PHP all the fields in the form show as undefined.When I run the file with trace mode on [code]I have ensured my input text has an instance name (ss)I have tried setting a var for ss This allows me to set the data ok but it is still undefined when I try to load it.I have added a keyframe to this frame as this is on frame 4 of a 4 page/frame timeline.
I would like to attempt to accomplish the following using Flash:I have a graphic representation of an LCD screen. The screen represents a display used to control a machine. Think of it as a kind of calculator. There are numeric keypads (1 - 0) as well as "enter" and "cancel" and "up" and "down" arrows.The LCD screen is two lines by 20 characters.First; I want to display in the two lines the data that would be displayed on the actual device. I have 160 lines of data in an ascii text file.I want to be able to "import" the ascii text file into the two line display, and be able to "scroll" up and down using the arrow buttons. What want to accomplish is that if the data changes,I can simply update the text file that is called. I saw a similar flash application, but it used a slider thing. I don't want a slider. I want to be able to scroll lines of text into and out the two line display. That is the first part, anyway. The second part will be to be able to change the displayed number values with the number keypad and update the text file with the data. But for now, just to get the text file to display and buttons to make it scroll.
I am struggling to find a way to animate a fill of text in Flash CS4. The concept I am looking for is that over a time period have the color rise from the bottom to the top. My initial attempt was to have 2 objects, one filled with the color and the other filled with white. I was hoping to just adjust the borders of the object or text to have it disappear, but that just reshapes the object, not cropping it. If you know how to crop into objects and reveal the object beneath, let me know.
I am very new to Flash so hopefully it is a simple answer, but I am not seeing it yet.

Here's a coding question for the guru's I've written a simple function that will clear a form. I want to call this function from another function (4 of them to be exact). I could copy and paste code multiple times and everything will work. But where's the fun in that? There's something to be said about clean code.
For sake of explanation, the tween are working 4 layers that are on top of each other (don't ask )
If I have an external .as file that contains a function within a public class, how do I call it?I have succesfully used examples, but don't understand the way they are addressed, and get errors when I try to create my own.So if my .as file named external.as contains a public class named exampleClass, which contains a function named doThis(), is it called in CS4 using..
exampleClass.doThis(); or external.doThis(); If it's just exampleClass.doThis(); - how does Flash know where to look for it without
I have two files, the regular .fla file and an external .as file.Basicly at one point in the .as file I get information of what tag to send the timeline and play and have to use the function gotoAndPlay from the timeline in the .fla file.This is the .as file:

its a site about interior design. my job is to add some code to do something. i checked the code and his approach is not so good.. he's coding inside objects and frames at the same time. (ive read many actionscript books and this is a really bad practice). Here's the problem... he wants this to be implemented in the site...1.) in the gallery there is a scrolling thumbnails, he wants this to pause about 4 seconds then it will start to scroll..(ive already fixed this by creating a function interval.
Here is where my problem is...2.) When you click the thumbnail, the enlarged view will pop up.. the enalarged view are external swfs... the client wants that when you click on the thumbnail, the scrolling will stop and the external popup enlarged image will come out...this external swf has an exit button to go back to the main gallery window which is another swf... so the client wants that when you hit exit from the external swf popup window, the scrolling will resume.... im having a hard time figuring this out because i dont know how to call a function from an external swf to the main movie (the gallery page) Ill post the fla of main movie, gallery and a single external swf link of the thumbnail. just click on the first picture that will appear on the gallery
the whole website seems to work fine, but when I change my resolution to a higher resolution, everything works fine until I go to media >> aikido pictures, and then the whole parent swf is resized to a smaller size but the child swf is still filling the screen.
My flash works fine on every platform and every better known browser. However, now I have a small issue on flash 9.0 player, and looks like the main problem is with calling external javascript using externalinterface.Every time I call it for div resizing which resize my flash stage, flash "jumps" or "flickers".I`m not sure what could cause this, but it surely happens only when I use externalinterface and call outside JS F-N.
