I've recently gotten myself Flash CS 5.5 and I'm having quite an issue developing applications using the ActionScript frame. Whenever I type inside the AS frame there's major lag. It takes ~1 second for the content to appear after I've typed it using my keyboard. I've got an i7 CPU so there shouldn't be any issues directly related to my CPU's power.
View 3 RepliesI'm searched adobe and android developers sites, but can't find any details on this. Is it possible to use Flash as a part of my app? E.g. like a widget/GUI element? Or it's integrated in browser only and can't be simple accessible? I know, Adobe AIR apps are supported as standalone .apk. So it must be some API/SDK (from Google) to connect with Flash player. Is there any details, how to program it (more clear: launch swf from my app and interact with it)?

I'm a newbie in actionscript. I created a world map in flash. The map has regions (Europe, North America, Latin America, etc.). The regions on the map are defined as buttons.
The final flash map will be embedded in an html document (map.html). The idea is that when you click for example the "Europe" button on the flash movie, this will open an html document called Europe.html and will show it underneath the map flash (inside map.html). The "Europe.html" for example contains a list of countries. In this mission I have 2 problems:
1. What script I have to attach to every region button on the flash map so it will call the right html file into the div on the map.html?
2. What script do I have to put inside the html document?
I need to build a simple database (3 elements total) using XML and make the swf interact with it.What I need is an interface that pops out if you've done a better score (better than the 3 saved in the XML).
Then you insert your name, send it with the proper button (or clear the field with the reset one) and then get a new classification in the txt field below dividing the players with their score. To do this, since I wasn't able to do it on my own, I've found a ready-script and this is it:

Here's my problem:I have a project with loads of text ergo I am loading textfrom external files with html formating. Now I have to insertvideos linked to the text file too (as in "dolor ipsum ... press here to view video"). All I need is a code that lets my textinteract somehow with the movie.Can I do it somehow through Javascript/Coldfusion/anything ordo I have to scrap my text and make things manually ?

View 2 RepliesFirst, I should mention that I haven't used Flash for years and I'm feeling a bit out of my depth.I've created an offline presentation for a client using ActionScript 2, authored with Flash CS3 (to run off a laptop).The presentation has an FLV (currently attached to the stage via the FLVPlayback component) which must play through it's entirety and at the end present 3 questions. Each question will present an answer once clicked. The user will then be presented with a "watch again" button which should restart the FLV from the beginning.
The second time the FLV plays back it should pause at 3 key points and present the user with questions and answers as before. Once the user has dealt with the Q&A's they should see a button to continue and the FLV should continue playing from where it was paused.I'm happy making the various interactive Q&A's, but have no experience of interacting with video. After a brief search in the web "cue points" look like the best tool for the job.
I had embedded .swf file. I want to save screenshots from this. How ever, the author has not given any option to do so.

What languages/techniques are used for letting the web browser interact with the desktop, e.g. dragging files to the web browser, dragging files from web browser to desktop, and maybe more features that I'm not aware of.
View 2 RepliesOn a webpage there would be multiple swfs. There could be one, there could be 15. It depends on the client.Each instance is the same swf but with different parameters. The swf is a simple toggle button, play/pause.When the page initially loads up, nothing happens.All the swf's default to the pause icon.An ID is passed from the html using flashvars i.e., FlashVars="Playerid=1" in the code, for each instance.When a user clicks on one swf (here is the problem), all the instances need to be listening and if they are not the clicked swf they need to change from play to pause if they were the previously playing swf or if the were in the 'pause' state to do nothing.
I was looking at using localConnection but it seems that a single swf can only listen to multiple swfs but multiple swfs cannot listen to one swf.I need them all to be continually listening for a user interaction (addEventListener.CLICK) and then all acting accordingly.I tried an enter.frame event for every instance to check if they were no longer the chosen track and update accordingly but it didn't work out.I have been playing with sharedObjects, storing the currentID (after being clicked), the previously played swf and whether the status is playing or paused.None of my efforts worked properly.Having re-written the above question many times, It is still a little unclear. I'll try again.
There will be say ten tracks from an album. Next to each track name will be a simple flash button the user can press to hear a 30 second sample. On clicking the icon, if no track is currently playing the icon will change from pause to play and the track will then play. If there IS a track already playing (say track 3) then on clicking say track 1 will stop track 3, change it's icon and then start track 1 and change it's icon from pause to play.The problem is that each swf on the page is exactly the same apart from an ID from flashvars and trackname which will be from an XML file or passed as a parameter when instantiated such as flashvars.
I have a class that has a couple of events after each other:It loads an image, loads another image, fades in a player, and plays a video.Now when the user goes to somewhere else, this instance keeps on doing all it's stuff.. Setting it to null doesn't help..

Basically I have a SWF file, there is a movieclip in this SWF file with instance name "stage" and I can alter the parameters of "_level0.stage" from within this SWF file to change the way it acts. But now, I am making a second SWF file, which loads the first SWF file, and from this new SWF file I want to interact with the same "_level0.stage" variable from the first SWF, does that make sense? This is the AS3 code for the second SWF, I have a movie clip with instance name "LoadSWF" in this SWF.
Code:
var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var movieRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("load.swf");
movieLoader.load(movieRequest);
LoadSWF.addChild(movieLoader);
load.swf is the file which contains movie clip "_level0.stage"
I've tried referencing this movie clip from this code using
"_level0.LoadSWF.stage"
but it doesn't find it?
make a variable readable from other flash movies, on the same website, but just in different frames. For example, if one frame was a menu, and the other frame had a picture of some sort, could i program my movie so that if a user clicks on a button on the menu side, the movie on the other side will display a different picture?
View 5 Replies1. Is there any way to send events from one native window of an application to another native window of the same application? For ex. a login window pops up when the app starts in the main window. Once the login is successful, an event should be posted to the main window, so that it starts displaying other things. Right now, I am posting an event, but it is not reaching the main window (nothing shows up in trace and breakpoint is not hit in the main window).
2. Is there a way for any window to grab focus? For ex. the login window above grabs the focus till the creds are keyed in. I mean, the user should not be able to select the main window at all till this window is active.

Alright, is there some way to keep a clip with masked content from reacting to the mouse?'ve got a button clip with a masked image inside (so the image that goes beyond the button's bounds can't be seen), but, when the mouse rolls over the masked-off image area, the button still reacts. I've been looking for a few days now, and I can absolutely not figure out what to do!

I've to do a presentation in flash. I need to create buttons that will interact with other buttons. An example:
I've an electronic circuit with 4switches (ON or OFF state). Each switch it's a button. I've to close 2 switches so that closes the circuit and then i want to show to where the current flows.
I'm trying to do something like this, but I think this isn't a good solution:
on (release) {
if(_root.btn1 == "btn1_on")
gotoAndStop(<number_of_a_frame>);
else
gotoAndStop(<another_frame_number>);
}
I think this is gonna take me an HUGE time to create all the possibilities. Because I can open the switch1 and close switch4, or open switch3 and close switch2... Do you know what i've mean?
I am trying to get just a single pose from an armature layer without copying the whole layer. I just want the exact arrangement of symbols from a specific frame of the armature layer alone; in one keyframe; without the armature; into a normal layer. I tried a few things, like breaking apart and copying the individual keyframe (ctrl+click on the frame I want and "copy pose"). I thought about converting an armature layer into a frame-by-frame animation so I can just copy the one frame like I want, but it's apparently not an option. When I tried the break apart option it just breaks down the first frame of the armature layer into one big vector graphic. I've even tried highlighting every frame except the one I want to use and pressing Shift+F5. Nothing I've tried so far works.
This is annoying because if I don't find a solution, I will have to take each separate symbol used in this frame of the armature layer and individually align them all in the exact same position in the normal layer

I have a project that involves flash animation- almost movie like. I need some advice on how to do flash animation. I think I'll create the graphics in illustrator. Basically, the storyline is this:
- guy leaves house and walks to car
-starts engine, puts on shades and speeds off
-scenes of downtown chicago (nightlife)
-view license plate
What is the best way to do this? create graphics in illustrator for frame by frame? Should I use after effects? The client doesn't have a high budget so video is out of the question.
I want my MovieClip to play from frame 5 to frame 30 and then stop. How can I do this?
