I've been manually creating a slideshow with flash (I like my final product better than the auto-approaches), and have reached a sort of odd situation.When trying to insert a new keyfram at fram 1675 of my animation, instead of a new keyframe, I'm getting my last keyframe's run (from 1650) extended to here.Is there a per-layer keyframe limit?And is there an FAQ that would cover this (fairly obvious seeming) question, rather than posting?
View 7 RepliesHow do you create a motion tween when I insert keyframe in frame 28 then I click on the object and create motion tween but when i click in 60 to insert keyframe I get opition of position, scale, skew, rotate ect. I just want to insert keyframe. What am I doing wrong?
View 4 RepliesEverytime I want to insert frames or keyframes after a tween, from whereon the object should rest, it is just enlarging my tween. How can I finish the tween and go on with normal keyframes and frames?
View 5 RepliesI have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

i am creating a game now this is complex but i have been told by my fellow actioncript co worker that its doable, What it is i have a game "Reaction Tester" and It is inside a car going along the road so its psudeo 3d and i have the "walls" and road sorted now i want a movie clip in the road to throw out random objects From a Movie clip, now i will call them from frame names, say..
frame 1-10 is a tween with a box coming down and then frame 11-20 is a cat and frame 21-30 is a hole in the road Etc i want it to call a random frame to frame, to play
i'm making a game and to score some extra performance im rendering every frame of every entity into an array of bitmapdata's the first time the frame is seen, and it works well, but its wasting alot of memory because we have alot of animations, and most of them are double framed at least, so more than half of the bitmaps could be ignored if there was a way to determine if a frame is a keyframe or not
View 3 RepliesWhen I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

View 6 RepliesI have 2 keyframes on my timeline.The first keyframe has an input text field (instance name: inputTxt) and a button (instance name: btnTester).When the user clicks the button it takes them to the second keyframe where their text should be displayed in a dynamic text box (instance name: txtBox).I get a null value in keyframe 2.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use if and else statements and failing. I am either completely missing their purpose, or just not writing the correct code. Scenario: I have designed a gallery that consists of animation in movie clips that are placed on the time line. With the if/else statements I need Flash to know what movie clip the user is on, so that the users next action loads the correct movie clip.

I made an XML file and then replicated that in a PHP file. I then just executed my PHP file and then viewed the source of it and then copied that into an XML file and had my AS read that file it works fine. However, when I have it set up to read my PHP file and I test it in Flash it gives me the following error:[code]

I have an ancient project that has thousands of lines of AS2 code spread out in class files. I started to try to make an on-screen keyboard and I noticed an issue with FP8 and the Selection class. I need to use FP8 because it's a MDM Zinc extended project and Zinc does not allow me to export to FP9 or FP10 if I use AS2.0. Of course this issue doesn't happen in FP9 or FP10.I have a reproducible example here that's highly simplified and stripped down. It has 3 class files, a Main, ExampleKeyboard and ExampleOutput. Main just instantiates the other 2 classes. The keyboard is all of 3 buttons (again very simplified to stick to the point). The output just generates an input TextField. This issue seems to be isolated to using the Selection class when your project has other classes. For mine, the keyboard is in one class and the TextField is drawn in another. I did a single frame no-class example and this problem does not exist so it's specific to the Selection methods using FP8 when a project contains classes. URL...After you run it you MUST press the red button to Selection.setFocus() the input field. The other 2 gray buttons simply send the letters 'a' and 'b' to the input text field. In FP9 and FP10 this all works just fine. The Selection. getCaratIndex() reports the cursors proper position (which I set every time you press a button). In FP8 you will see that Selection.getCaratIndex() ALWAYS returns -1. Has anyone had these Selection class issues in a project that used multiple classes and FP8?
View 1 RepliesSo I have been able to generate random numbers before, but now they just seem to be spazzing out randomly.I created 4 dynamic textboxes with the variable names item1, item2, item3 and item4. The code that I have used on the frame is:

I have a Flex app that uses Flash Remoting and the RemoteObject to pull data from a ColdFusion CFC. About 75% of the time it works, but the other times I get a message using Charles (a debugging tool) that says faultString = "Unable to Invoke CFC". FaultCode = "Server.Processing".
Here's my RemoteObject:
<mx:RemoteObject id="carsSvc" destination="ColdFusion" source="ca.sqmIDash.cfc.sqmIdash">
<mx:method name="getCARs" result="resultHandler(event)"/>
</mx:RemoteObject>
The server set up on our web farm is to use load balancing. I'm not sure if this is causing the problem or not. Probably not, but it's a thought.
I have created an API in AS3 that uses Flex bindings. The API is being used by two other developers. I am delivering the API in an SWC that includes all code, including the required Flex libraries. The two other developers are building the API into AS3-only projects. One developer is compiling using the Flex SDK through FDT. He includes the SWC in his project and he is able to bind any bindable property. When he uses ChangeWatcher.canWatch on a bindable property, it returns true.
The second developer is compiling using the Flash CS5 IDE. He includes the SWC in his project using the Actionscript settings window (merged into code). But none of the bindings, including ones internal to the API, are working. When he uses ChangeWatcher.canWatch on a bindable property, it returns false. What could the Flash IDE be stripping out that causes ChangeWatcher to stop functioning? What is ChangeWatcher.canWatch actually checking? Is it the metadata, and if so, how can the metadata be preserved in the Flash IDE?

I am using this code to download a file from a server (podcast episode mp3) but I click the submit button and nothing happens. The text field shows "Downloading episode X" but nothing happens, no browse-to-save window pops up or anything. Here is my entire code, no external.It simply uses AMFPHP to drawback results to see if the podcast episode exists. If it returns a 1, the fileReference download is triggered. I'm pretty sure the rest of the code is fine, its just the "localRef.download(requestF);" bit that seems to be doing nothing.[Code].....
View 0 RepliesI've been scratching my head over this problem for two weeks now, trying to test (destroy) my router, internet connections, and flash apps to try and solve this problem. First of all, what I am trying to do: I've got a php socket server set up, and on localhost and lan connections with XMLSocket the server and flash clients work fine. But from the internet only some versions(or at least that is what I suspect) seem to connect. There is only one instance in which the connection worked, the client actually asked for a policy file... but I haven't been able to ask that guy's flash version yet. Is there anything different in the latest flash versions that prohibits XMLSocket from connecting to worldwide IPs?

This fires a modal (jQuery UI). It it working in FF, Chrome/Safari but not in IE 7/8. Is there something I'm missing here?
Big Picture: We're using a swf to render custom type and there is a link in the rendered (flash) content. We're hoping to catch the link action in the jQuery listener so we don't have to extend our swf have an optional param to return false on link click.
I have an instance of URLLoader that works perfectly on my machine and a number of other machines, but in a few rare cases, regardless of the browser or the flash player version, URLLoader never comes back with any of my callbacks and so the load() method is fired off into the stratosphere and nothing happens beyond that.Curious if anyone else has encountered this and if so how they got around it.[EDIT]Ok... never mind on the "no callbacks are fired". In fact it is firing the SecurityError.SECURITY_ERROR. However, I'm at a total loss as to why it would only fire this on some machines and not on others. Does it have something to do with the user's admin privileges or the browser's security settings? The error is 2170, phaseTwo (whatever that means)
