Controlling FLV From A Different Area Of The Page?
Aug 19, 2009
I was wondering if I could assign seperate buttons to play, rewind, stop or pause an FLV in my timeline from a seperate area of the page like a remote control as opposed to using a skin in which the buttons would have to sit under the flv. Do I have to use an events listener? Does anybody have an example of the action script I could use. I am using version 2.0 PS. The flv is a progressive download.
I created a 300x250 Web banner for Google with a mouse trail effect. The banner will not upload because, according to the Google tech people, the banner contains animation that goes "out of bounds." Common sense tells me that if a mouse effect is applied to a Flash banner, then it should only be occurring when a user mouses over that banner. However, I was told that the mouse effect does indeed take place outside the 300x250 banner boundaries, which is preventing the banner from being fully uploaded live.
Does anyone know how to define the stage area so that the mouse effect only occurs in this 300x250 space? Perhaps the only way to get around this is to create a 300x250 hidden button and somehow make the mouse effect occur on rollover. If that is the case, then does anyone know how to do that?
I am using one of those pageflipping books from page-flip.com's website. The free version is available here: [URL]. The file "flippingbook.swf" references a js file which points to a jpeg which is then displayed on the book's page. The jpeg can be substituted for a swf file. I would like to create a table of contents swf file (lets call it "table.swf") I would like to click a button on "table.swf" that would make "flippingbook.swf" go from page 1 to page 4, etc.
I have a flashplayer in html page and I want it to stop the auto play function when the page loads and play whenever I click play, and I tried to play with the code and added this: <param name="Autostart" value="0" /> but it's not working. On the other hand, I set the autoplay function for the quicktime player to "false"and it worked.
I came across this really nice effect: see how the html page changes colour (gradually!!) [URL] I presume it's js, but that's where my presuming stops I'll post anything I find out about this
I want have a mc called LDL travelling across the page and as soon as it comes into a specific range on the page ( drops the cholesterol off at a random point in this range) I want the cholesterol molecule to fall and build up on the bottom of the page and on top of eachother.
I managaned to get the LDL moving and the cholesterol molecules falling when I select the no and press the button, but only 1 cholesterol ball stops, the rest just pass through.
I have supplied several progressive download flash videos to our web site programmer. Our web site is in PHP. All videos play well except for one thing: I would like them to start automatically. How do you change that? One the server, he added the Clear_Skin.swf, FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf and flvProgress.swf files. Are those the ones that control the autoplay action?
for example i have a two pages, in page 1 theres a sound thats playing, but if i will try and go to page 2 the sound will stop, but if i will go back to page 1 the sound will be played again..
I have two separte flash files on the same html page... I want to be able to click a button in one flash file that affects the timeline in a separte flash file on the same page. Is this possible?
1. I want to click on a icon that activates (controls) a movie clip on another banner ( which would be on the same page)2. I also want to have this banner to have a input text field, which the user would type in their name say" john smith". Once they have typed in their names and clicked on the submit button it wouldd appear on the other banner( which is still on the same page)
how I can make a movieclip randomly slowly float around within a certain specified area on the page? The way I'm doing it now.. is I use TweenMax.. set a bezier, and have the object tween randomly every 20 seconds to a random spot using the Timer class. This is looks okay.. but I'm sure there's a better way to do it so I can control the area which I want it to float within more easily.
I need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()
i have a drop down menu am working on and each button tab (although they are not button instances !) when clicked opens up the "drop down" section which you can mouse over to choose another specific button etc - if you mouse out of that drop down area then it pulls back up to the original tab state .. what do i change to the code below to decrease the area that you mouse out of to make the drop down area pull back .....at the moment it at least two inches on the screen below and to the right of boundaries of the drop down box before it pulls up - i want to it pull up as the mouse leaves the boundary box .... hope this makes sense .... there is some part of the actionscipt below that controls this but can work out which bit and how to change it !!! (am guessing the x mouse and y mouse bits - but how to change it ???)
i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void { this.gotoAndPlay(30);} function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
public static function cloneDpObj(target:DisplayObject):Bitmap { var duplicate:Bitmap;
[code]....
to clone target displayObject (MovieClip or Sprite) and return Bitmap Object.
It can get bitmap from the target object, but it seem don't get all the area of the image.
By give the width and height of target object, but the target object in design was applied by Glow Effect, so my question can we get the all view of bitmapdata from a displayobject?
I have a movie clip named circle_mc(see the image on the link below) and a mask object(movie clip) which determines visible area of the circle. User can change the portion which is visible (extend the red area and make it red+blue, gray area is invisible). I need to find proportion of visible area to invisible area (red+blue/gray) so that I can calculate angle.
I would like to first add the xml to my flash. Fine I can do this.But I have a number of buttons, where when I click say CW1, i get the information from the XML file with a node of CW1. I have all the xml set up fine.As I have about eight different postcode types.
ST, CW, CH, TF, WV, WS, DE, SK, SY, and each of these may have numbers that follow, i.e ST1, ST2, ST3 and so forth.
So I can only assume that the postal area could be the main nodes, and the numbers inside the child nodes, am I right thus far.o how can i load the area of the xml file into my text area on mouse click, pulling the information relating.
However I'd need to be able to draw *only* on the board area (a 450 x 350 pixels area) instead on the whole movie... how to "tweak it?" Here's the fla: [URL]
I'm programming a game for my Advanced Higher Computing class, and am doing a whack a mole style game. I am trying to program for the bit where when you click the moving movie clip, then the score is increased by 1.
I just want to do not allow editing at some area of text area in flex. How it can be done?let suppose text length in text area is 50 characters, i want to allow editing if cursor position is less than 15, and if cursor position in text area is greater than 15 it should not allow user to add more text in text area.If user press any key it should not add any character in text area.[code]
I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------ var keyListener:Object = new Object(); keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
I have a master page and a child page and have placed the javascript code inside the child page for flash movie.
The problem is the movie seems working when there is a alert on, without at least one alert msg, the code does not work, I am sure you people can solve, I can see that the following code works well in both Mozilla and IE, but only if the alert is ON, if I put it off, then the code does not work. Can anybody tell me what is the workaround :
When i zoom into the page then move around the edge of the page can be moved past the edge of the browser window showing the static page which appears at the start of the document. Is it possible to use actionscript to stop the page being dragged past a certain point so the static page is not seen? On the example below the static page is white so it does not pose too much of a problem however im using the static page as a sort of instruction page and it looks a bit rubbish if the user drags a page past the edge of the view window and see's the original page. Example below. [URL]

I'm trying to print a mc which is bigger than the default page size. I want to change the page/margin size so the content can fit in the page without scaling. Per the API reference [URL] the page settings are readonly. How can I print something bigger than the default page size? Is it doable in AS2 or AS3?
