I just spent 3 days making a drop-down-button-menu. It looks great.I added it to the HTML of my website, but everytime you load the page, you have to download the ActiveX control...How is it that people have drop-down-button-menus that are flash-based, yet they don't make you download the ActiveX control? Should I just scrap my buttons and try to use CSS, or HTML, or Javascript?

View 1 RepliesIn VB6 the main form loads a full screen .swf animation played by the ActiveX control ShockwaveFlash. If I rightclick on it (the control while playing) a small rectangular form says "About MacroMedia Flash Player 5" then the second form should be loaded (when animation is over) but Runtime error 401 says "Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed". I know the cause of this error and can fix it. But do you know a way about how to make ActiveX control ShockWaveFlash itself ( thru its properties maybe) not respond to right-clicks at runtime?
-----------------------
P.S No reason to right-click there, but as you know users can do anything.While the animation is playing mousepointer is set to invisible, yet still the error.
I am trying to put a Flash ActiveX control into a Windows Form but I am running into a problem: a lack of documentation. The best I have found is a site called "F-IN-BOX" that has some documentation but much of the API is still a black box. For example, some property will take an integer or a string and provide no clue about what it wants. Another exanple is the FlashVersion() function that inexplicably returns 655361 on version 10.
Incidentally I'm having the same problem with Apple's Quicktime OCX. I've searched both sites and Google and I'm starting to wonder if either of these companies provide documentation for any of their products. Does anybody know where I can find documentation for either of them, even if it's the unofficial variety?
My external container isn't able to set FlashVars since I upgraded to Flash version 10.1.53.64. What's the matter ? A simple for loop didn't list anything in the loaderInfo.parameters object (for (var val:String in loaderInfo.parameters)).
It didn't happen with any older Flash version.
Environment:
Windows XP SP3
Container: Excel 2003, set FlashVars through VBA code
Flash ActiveX version 10.1.53.64
I have gone through the trouble shooting page twice and cannot get it to download.

View 1 RepliesI have a ActiveX control hosting a flash-player which is in turn running a flash file trying to access data from a web-address.
In an old Windows Application version of my application everything works fine and the flash file is able to access the web-content.
However, in a newer Console Appliction version of the application it can no longer access the web-content.
Is there some kind of difference between a Windows Application and a Console application in terms of security/permissions that might affect an ActiveX hosted flash-player?

I need to fetch a flex application from a process in C#.
How can i get access to the externalInterfaceAPI when the flex application is running as a Application?
EDIT: After further reading it looks like it is possible, as from what i understood, a flex stand alone application is a ActiveX "container", so what i need is to get access to the ActiveX container, and from there the externalInterface API.)

I have a flash site that I maintain very casually (just a hobby). But recently, after a fresh install of Windows on my laptop, I went to my site in IE and nothing would happen - it was just a blank, white page. I have since discovered it was because I needed to install ActiveX on my computer- after having done so, the page now works perfectly in IE. So my question is this: how can I prompt the user to install ActiveX if they haven't already when they go to my site? I made my site in Flash MX 2004 (super old, I know).

View 4 RepliesI am pretty new to Flash and AS3. I built a Flash site that loads external XML data that auto loads with each page containing it.url...On the second page "Wines", as you can see, the white wine list auto loads just fine. But I cannot get my actionscript to load the XMLs from the buttons on the right (ie: whites, reds, dessert, champagne) [code] Also, as of right now, in the script I have the wines (fom said XML list) pop up in a new window (go click one to see). But it pops up in a new browser instead of a "popup". This is because I could not find a way to combine the java script with the XML in the actionscript to specify the new window(parent). I would rather it just load into the box (movieclip) dynamically, but I could not get that to work either.[code] Not even my intro Flash teacher can help me nor is there a tutor around either. Im kind of in a bad
position. Its just a matter of finding a person that knows Actionscript! No one knows it well enough in my class to help. If you know of a tutor who has an hour of time, I would be forever in debt. We can chat via AIM & send the raw files even.
I was wondering if anyone could help me solve a problem im having with loading swf's into a swf with buttons. this is the code i have so far:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.ui.Mouse;
var _swfLoader:Loader;
var _swfRequest:URLRequest;
var _swfPathArr:Array = new Array("00.swf","01.swf","02.swf");
var _swfClipsArr:Array = new Array();
[Code]...
This code all works but when it loads the swf you can still press the other buttons which then load in the appropriate swf's. My problem is that i want the user to press the button, lets say "portfolio_btn" which loads in an swf called "01.swf" and for the user to not be able to press any of the other buttons until the "01.swf" has loaded and the same for all the other buttons loading in swf's.
On the stage I have buttons that should load different swf. Usually I should put all the code on a single "action" layer. But, it is not what I want to do I have a movie clip that I want to play before the loading ( button click - movie clip - loading the swf).
So I put this code at the en of the movieclip:
var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var swf;
var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(swf);
function startLoad() {
mLoader = new Loader();
[Code] .....
i would like to load external URL to my flash buttons from XML but no idea how to do it. There is 100 buttons. Buttons have unique names and i need to load url from xml to each button by the name of it and on click action go to this url. Any idea ?
button is s01, s02, p01, p02...... then i need address from xml with this name to load
<nodetop>
<address s01="some url here"></address>
<address s02="some url here"></address>
</nodetop>
my AS3 for now is this but dont know what to do next :
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, loadname);
function loadname(evtObj:MouseEvent){
var btnname:String = evtObj.target.name;
[code]....
I wanted to make each button load an swf.How do I connect a button to loading a swf?
contentButton1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, N);
function N(e:MouseEvent){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("N-Infant.swf");var loader:Loader = new Loader()loader.load(request);addChild(loader);
I animated 4 flash buttons in one .fla file. When you rollover each button, an animation should play. However, when I preview the .swf in Dreamweaver, the rollover buttons only work HALF the time. I tried putting a preloader on the .fla file as well as toggling the quality to low in the original .fla, but it still only works half the time?

create a multidimensional array which will pull text, swfs, and/or images from an xml file based on which button is clicked.What I don't understand is how to pull the swf or image file from the file like I have with the text. Truth be told, I'm completely lost and could really use some help fixing this. I need to pull text and images or the swf file from the xml depending on which button is clicked and I tried to put this together, but I've given myself a headache trying to understand where I went wrong.
ActionScript Code:
var pageXML:XML;
//Load the XML file.
var pageXMLLoader = new URLLoader();

loading a SWF file and then removing it with the use of buttons. It's a fairly simple situation, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the code:
function newvid(event:MouseEvent){
var tv_loader:Loader = new Loader();
tv_loader.load(new URLRequest("tv.swf"));
addChild(tv_loader);

The scene basically says click on button and tv turns on...but I can't seem to get the off button to work. I think I am missing a step some where in the code.
