I am using the SWFObject and alternative content for a flash navigation. Unfortunately, if the viewer does have Flash installed, a white box appears before the nav appears. I am using a gif as a tiling background image for the nav, therefore the swf has a transparent background. Everything is good except for the second that the white box shows up.here's a bit of CSS and XHTML, but I have looked at this as well as the flash document, but I have been able to resolve the issue, and I'm out of ideas.
View 2 RepliesI've tried all kinds of different ways to detect flash, and provide alternative content where the viewer doesn't have or doesn't want to download flash player. I want the viewer to see alternate static content on the same page if they don't have flash. I just can't seem to find the one definitive answer that works every time! I tried: [URL] but this seems to require installation of Adobe AIR which I have no idea what it is!
View 3 RepliesCan someone please direct me to a good tutorial for beginners or explain the steps for creating a Flash website with an alternative html version. Do i create two sites? then use SWFobject to link them? I'm working with a purchased template that contains psd, html, css as well as the flash sources.
View 2 RepliesIs there a documented best practice for providing alternate content for Flash in Safari on iOS devices?I am getting white space where my Flash animation would normally appear, and management is displeased. I need to display alternative content in this space.
View 1 RepliesI have a full flash site which uses swfobject to embed it 100% height and width. I'm using swffit to force a browser scroll bar for pages with a large amount of content. This is all fine and works perfectly. I also have the content in HTML format, as alternative content and this also works apart from in order to get the flash swfobject to work I need to add the overflow = hidden in the CSS, like:
html{
height: 100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#content{
height: 100%;
I made a script which will tile dynamic mc in a way that after a number of clips (say 5) in a row, i would like the 6th mc to position on the next row below the first row, like this:
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
i was able to do it thru series of if-else if statements but the thing is that i was wondering if there's a better logic in doing this, i was thinking of using switch statement but is there a way to type "i>=9 && i<=20" into a case parameter? here is the code and i have also attached the fla if anyone would like to see:
Code:
if (i>=20 && i<=25) {
item._x = item._width+275;
yVal = (i-20)*(item._height+5);[code].....
I have created a Flash application for a "big" client which communicates heavily with the server. Flash app is initially loaded with a big XML file, which is retrieved by an aspx file. Then every 5 seconds, it calls a different aspx file to update. There are 3 asp files, which also sends back XMLs, that it calls periodically on top of the aspx file. Buttons on the app calls 4 different asp files with data being sent via querystring, but, uses the XML.sendAndLoad commands since we want the communication being done behind the scene.
During testing on development and live sites, we noticed no problems. We had sporadic complaints about the application being slow, but, they were so rare that we let it slide.
Now, it seems more frequent. I went back to the application and tried utilizing the built-in garbage collection by deleting all temporary variables, but, that didn't seem to improve much.
Given this scenario... is there anything I could try to improve the speed of server communications?
I have an application requiring exporting of Flash animations to run on an embedded media player. This accepts a number of video formats. The most reliable I have found so far is DivX. The player supports DivX versions 3.11, 4.x & 5.x. The export codec in CS3 is DivX 6.8.5 which is not compatible with the player.The player also supports MPEG2 but the quality is not very good. Other options are Xvid Mpeg4 video (doesn't work) and MS Mpeg4 video codec V2 & V3 (also not supported in CS3).I have tried downloading a variety of alternative second source file converters but frankly tied myself in knots. Any idea how I can get around this problem and get a DivX 5.x codec to work natively within CS3?
View 2 RepliesI'm having huge bug issues with LocalConnection that nobody seems to be able to find errors in my code/files. So... I'm looking for an alternative. I need a main swf file to load an external swf including the ability to have it move from one frame to another. If this isn't a possibility, I can also just have the main swf hide/reveal a div or just an image in the html.

View 2 RepliesWe have developed a magazine reader which is basically PHP application. Admin panel is built in PHP but when any user wants to read a particular magazine, it is handled by Flash i.e. we are embedding the .swf object with HTML in PHP page. But flash is not supported in iPad/iPhone. So we want to create this application in Xcode so that user can read the magazine in iPhone/iPad also. There is confusion how it can be accomplished.
View 1 RepliesI was reading through various source codes, trying to teach myself more and more AS as usual... and some things brought me to ask this question.let's say I place a movie clip on the stage, called gun. would:if (_root.gun) {} return a true statement, simply because a MC called gun exists on the stage?
View 1 RepliesIs there an alternative to attachMovie that I can use to put my movieclips on to the stage. Here is my problem, I have 2 frames total in my fla file, and in each frame I have buttons that when you click on them it attaches the corresponding image from the library. Problem is when you click to go to the next frame, the attached image stays.
I basically want it to stay attached only until you hit the next frame.
I'm looking for a lightweight alternative to the TileList component. I'm currently designing and developing an MPU Ad Creative that references an XML doc and pulls in four FLVs and their appropriate meta data. These videos will then be playable in the merch window, and there will be some opt-in data capture going on as well.
I've got a prototype going at the moment that grabs the XML and populates a TileList, and then uses ListEvent Listeners to add functionality to each of the ImageCells. All working fine, except that the file size is already at 47k without any of the data capture form fields in there. This is already over the TZ polite-load limit, and I've only added maybe 60% of the functionality. When I remove the TileList class, the swf shrinks down to 3k (a much nicer size ), and even after adding the remaining 40% I can't see this going much above 15k.
So, anyone know of anything I could use to replace TileList? I thought about creating my own class that holds all the information for each Video I need, but I thought I should check first to see if there are any other alternatives.
I need to have the ablity to create 3000+ sprites so they can be interact. In this case it is a bunch of booths at trade show. I have done a lot of experimentation about how to create/draw these in the quickest possible manner.I have used timers, loops, enter frame events and I am still not satisfied with speed.My new idea is to create a seperate swf before hand that has everything drawn out so this doesn't have to be done at runtime, the swf can just be downloaded. So my question is.... What would be the best way to develop a module that draws out everything into a swf file so that at runtime, I am not drawing anything, I am just uploading the file.
View 19 RepliesI would like to have a flash app on a website where:A user can input some values Those values are then sent to a server which has an executable fileThe exe is run with the user's settings and then sends some data back to the userThe data is displayed in the flash app.Is it doable with CGI or is there a better alternative to this?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use URLRequestMethod.GET to get some xml from our website.In ie7 the onComplete never fires so it gets stuck but it works great in every other browser. I know that to fix a similar problem with preloaders you change the onComplete to a ProgressEvent and check to see if bytesLoaded == bytesTotal.This doesn't seem to work for URLRequestMethod.GET because when bytesLoaded = bytesTotal it doesn't mean that you have your data. Is there another way to check to see when the data is finished?

I want the content of a local text file to become available inside JavaScript. I've achieved that using HTML 5 FileReader API, but this works only in Mozilla Firefox and Chrome now. I know that it is possible to create a cross-broswer solution using Flash. Is there any open-source project that do that?
View 1 RepliesI've faced such situation. I've used to program in C#, and such code:
[Code]...
was asking both, condition1 and condition2 to be true (the case when they both are giving false and the end-result is true, could be achieved in other way). In Flex, same code would perform "some actions" if the both conditions are false. I just was wondering if is there any chance to make it break after finding first false in a queue, or I have no choice and should write nested if's?
Does anyone know a good alternative to the RichTextEditor component in flex?
View 2 RepliesWhat I was told, which sparked my curiosity on this topic:Java gui classes can implement hundreds of Listeners and Callbacks and many books teach you to implement all these interfaces in your gui class. Alternatively, these aspects can be implemented in inner classes, so methods called by that listeners do not get mixed up.'d like to know how to do this in ActionScript, which doesn't have inner classes, but has private classes. But, I don't think I fully realize what inner classes are about, so I'm merely trying to wrap my head around the situation where I would use them to organize a class' methods by their usages.
