Is it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).

How can I control a flash movie in a window from a child (pop-up) window invoked via ExternalInterface's call method?
The name of the movie is myMovie. Using javascript in the popup, I try to access a function in the movie using document['myMovie'].flashFunction(). However, since the javascript is in the popup window and the flash is in another, the browser complains that the function is undefined.
This would have worked if the javascript and the movie were in the same window.
I use Firefox.
I have a flash movie with an audio clip in it. I simply want to embed the movie in my page and when a user clicks a link in the HTML, it tells the flash movie to play. The onclick would trigger a JS function that would play the flash movie. Is this possible?
View 2 RepliesWe use subversion, which works great for software projects. We also have a lot of flash projects, which we don't use any kind of source control. Each flash project contain quite a few images. The time frame of each project is a couple weeks, but few can go upto a couple months.
The number of files we create contribute to quite a bit of file size. To keep repository size at a minimum, we want to keep the latest version only and wipe out previous history once a project is finished. History is useless to us after a project is finished.
It looked into subversion, but it doesn't allow to remove anything from the repository. I need to perform this workaround here.
One easy way is creating a separate repository for each project. When the project is over, save the latest version to archive and wipe out the repository. The number of active projects is about 50 - 100. Is there any issue with creating one repository per project?
Any list which folders need to be excluded from a Flash Builder project when adding it to source control. E.g. bin-debug folder which is automatically generated when the project is compiled should not be in source control and etc.
View 1 RepliesWe've updated to Flash Professional CS5.5, but are noticing that when multiple users access the FLA over AFP network file share off our OSX Server, they are not restricted from opening the FLA at the same time.Could have sworn that's always just worked in past versions. Most apps just refuse users access to open files; Other apps like Office warn us of multiple user access to open read-only.
View 2 RepliesI have a music web site that has 20+ song titles per page. I have a small flash mp3 player for each song which works properly.I run into a problem though if you click to play a second song. The first one keeps playing, so they end up playing simultaneouslyI understand there is a way to control Flash using Javascript so that when you click on a new song, the other one will stop.

I'm looking at flash to make my Access database into a Flash front end.I have looked around quite a bit and I can not answer the question:
Can flash map a control source and text (i'm sure they are not the right terms) to a combo box?(from a PHP script)ie, from a table can the combo box use StationID and display StationName? from a station table?
is there a way to write a program in php or javascript that can load a flash file and interact with it? (click on buttons and such)
View 4 Repliesi have a project where i have a movie.swf (AS2) and some buttons with js/jQuery in the html part. Now i want the buttons to control the flash. For Example pressing Button1 would do a gotoAndPlay(1) and Button2 gotoAndPlay(150) Button3 gotoAndStop(450)
The Flashmovie works with Actionscript 2.
In the following code there are buttons in the flash which i am trying to make it accessible by html buttons. so when record button is pressed the mode will be "record" and the record_functions() is called.I am able get it working on Firefox but in internet explorer the buttons wont seem to work i.e, the flash functions cannot be called from internet explorer.w to resolve this issue
function thisMovie(movieName)
{
if (window.document[movieName])

I have a flex application and have embedded a flash (SWF) file into it using <mx:SWFLoader>. There is an "Exit" button on the Flash file. I want to be able to handle the button click event on the flex application.
So when that button in the flash file is clicked, I want to perform an action in the parent flex application.
source control on personal Flex projects, and what eclipse plug-ins are available for these source control services? I'd like to add some personal projects to source control when they are ready.

I have a web page with an SWF file on it which in turn loads and plays an FLV file. The SWF is embedded in a layer (referred to here as the "video layer") which is hidden at load time. Elsewhere on the page is a "view video" button which makes the video layer appear. However, I can't seem to find any way to make that video start playing when the video layer appears. My thought was to use Javascript and an onClick to start the playback but I haven't had any luck. I also have a "CLOSE WINDOW" button on the video layer that will have to stop the video playback and close the layer. I have been able to successfully make the video layer appear and disappear, but I have not been able to make the video play or stop. I will also need to make the video rewind at some point as well. Please note that the video itself plays fine if I set the FLV to Autoplay before publishing the SWF but then it starts immediately upon completion of page loading.
View 1 RepliesThe movie was designed in several flash files, each has been combined into a single movie clip and then all the movie clips have been moved into the master document.
Each movie clip is on a single slide.
They play through and when a clip reached the end I have used the actionscript root.gotoAndPlay(x) where x is the slide number of the next clip in the sequence as such my timeline looks like this[code]...
I have to make a flash movie that would allow the user to control the framerate of the movie. Unfortunately I'm not that good with flash and I don't know how that could be done ..I thought about something like

}"

I have a need to control one flash movie with another. For example: I have a graphical interface created in Flash AS3 which is simulating the control of machines on the ocean floor. I have 3D animations that will animate what is happening on the ocean floor when a control element is activated on the graphical interface. At the moment I have this happening all in one Flash player window that has been made to look like two windows. One which is the interface...one that is made to look like a small screen showing what looks like video coming in from a camera on the ocean floor.
What I need to be able to do is have the Control Screen as one window, and the animations to appear in another. In this way we can set up two monitors, have the control screen on one (computer monitor), the animations playing on the other (a large plasma connected to the same computer). The animations need to play within a flash shell and the control screen would need to play in a separate shell. So in essence I need to be able to double click on an .exe....two screen will activate showing one screen with buttons that port animations into the second screen which I have positions to play on the larger screen.
I'm using jquery to drag popup control around the page ,every things work fine but when the page has flash movie the popup doesn't appear over flash also when set z-index to 100 .

$('.modalPopup').draggable({ zIndex: 2700 });
});
My task is to create a TV with flash graphics and show a short flash movie embedded on the screen. In the task there must be some buttons to switch on/off and pause and continue play after pause.
View 0 RepliesI am planning to build a web page where external buttons using javascript commands like this <a onClick="javascript:LoadSWF( 1 ) ...>< img ... > and their code would instruct a SWF parent object ( embedded in the html code ) to load the desired interactive SWF child ( and replace a previous SWF child ) within it, where the user then could play with it.
My doubt however is, can a SWF embedded object receive external instructions from javascript code ? If so, how ?
I am trying to launch 2 different JavaScript Centered Pop-Up Windows within a Flash movie. There is a main movie, then 2 other movies that load into the main. The main movie resides in the index page and all of the JavaScript is in the header.

I have been referring to the a tutorial on the Kirupa Website [ [URL] ] but I'm not totally clear how to write with the properties in the Java Script to talk to these windows individually.
