whenever I publish a FLA file I have, and load it onto a website, I see elements which aren't suppose to be within the frame sitting outside the frame.These elements are outside the canvas in flash and come in for brieft flashy moments but then fly back out again.How do I hide all files outside the canvas? I tried masking the top layer and adding everything underneath it and locking it but that never worked.

View 1 RepliesI want to dynamically create and put some Image (mx.controls.Image) objects on a Canvas and I want them then to be able to be repositioned by the user via the mouse. Can this be done? Note, I am not looking for drag and drop. I just want to change the X and Y coordinates of Images with the mouse.
View 3 RepliesI've got an array of different sized images. I want to place these images on a canvas in a sort of automated collage.
All my images have heights divisible by 36 pixels and widths divisible by 9 pixels. They have mouseDown functions that allow you to drag and drop. When dropped the image goes to the closest x point divisible by 9 and y point divisble by 36. There is a grid drawn on top of the canvas.
I've sorted the array of images based on height, then based on their widths.
imagesArray.sortOn("height", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
imagesArray.sortOn("width", Array.NUMERIC | Array.DESCENDING);
I'd like to take the largest image ( imageArray[0] ) to put in corner x,y = 0,0. Then randomize the rest of the images and fit them into the collage canvas.
I am working on application similar to [URL] how to add multiple clipart to the center rectangle. I can add one clipart but then adding second clipart/image replaces the first one.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to skin a canvas with an image (which is essentially a custom border for the canvas). I've been trying the backgroundImage style as well as the borderSkin style. I can't get the image to scale to the full size of the canvas though. I was wondering what the best way to go about this is.[code]...
View 2 RepliesBasically I want to go to frame2 when the cursor leaves the canvas. The code below contains no errors when tested but it still does not work.
[Code]...
We know that the function gotoAndStop(frame2); works in multiple situations which means the first 3 line is fine. I don't know if the problem is the MOUSE_LEAVE event or this.stage which i suppose is the identifier for the canvas. I sure that there must be an alternative code for the identifier this.stage or the whole code. Any solution on how to fire the given function in the event when the cursor leaves the canvas?
I have a small microsite built using Flash 4. It contains 5 'pages' assigned to individual keyframes, each keyframe separated by 5 frames (F5s). Each Keyframe is labelled 'page1' through to 'page5'. I have a navigation bar for the entire site which includes NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons. When the user reaches the LAST PAGE/KEYFRAME I do not want the NEXT BUTTON to show. I suspect it is something simple like nextbutton.visible = true - but I've spent a day trying to work out how to do this but without success.I am using AS3 and the existing coding is shown below.[code]
View 1 RepliesI download a flash template to take apart and play around with to make sure i still know my way around the software. Everything was going great until I discovered there are part of it that I can not find. The animation are not in the timeline or anywhere else I've looked. When I scrub through it they aren't there, but when I preview the movie (F12) they are always there. I managed to delete the pictures in those particular animations, but can not edit or find anything else.

I have a flex app that I want to hide in a div until the user clicks a link or element of some type. I've noticed that embedding the swf in a div with style display:none does not actually hide the swf, so how would I go about accomplishing this? The goal is to have the flex app loading in the background while the user does other things.

I'm building an mp3 player expressively to make my music URLs a little less steal-able. Forgive my hacking ignorance here, but would it be better to embed my playlist XML (with the URLs) in the SWF rather than having the SWF read the XML file from my server? Seems that the latter approach would be easier to intercept...
I'm pretty sure that no one wants my mp3s badly enough to decompile the code. But with the player currently at my site, my XML playlists -- with the URLs -- started to come up in Google searches. Would rather avoid *that* level of exposure.
I have a flv playback compotent and I created a control bar with play and pause button. I would like to hide the bar until the mouse rolls over it and then it would appear for a few seconds and then hide again. Much like the skin effect, but I'm not using the skins.

I've done some searching and it looks like you cant hide a layer using action script. I'm going to have a page with a lot of form controls on it and when the user clicks the submit button, i want all those controls to go away so that i can display something else.I really dont want to have to do control._visible = false for every single item. I did see one person saying i could attach those form fields (movieclips) to a parent movieclip, and then just make the parent visibl = false. would that be the best way to hide a bunch of controls without explicitly setting the visability on each movieclip
View 6 RepliesI have an XML file that my .swf opens and reads from my server. I actually have the .swf call a php file that builds the xml output which works fine. My question is, is it possible for anyone that can see my .swf project on their browser get the path to the php file that it calls?
Can I use POST in actionscript instead of GET when getting a url so I could hide the variables sent?
Is there a header or something that flash sends that I catch with my php file? So i can tell if flash is calling it, or if some user is just directly going to the file to get the information. Or if all else fails, can I have flash create a file on my server that when I call my php file it first checks to see if that file holds the right data before spitting out the xml. When other people link to my flash file on their server, it seems this method might still work seeing as it's my servers flash .swf being called.
I have a FLVPlayback on my stage, but I want to use my own controls rather than the ones provided by the skin.I read that I can make my own skin - but have not been successful.
View 2 RepliesWe have a little in-house LMS with courses built in Flash. Scores are updated and retrieved with POSTs to PHP scripts which query a MySQL database. All the course content and quiz questions are in xml files. Those XML files are easily accessible from a user's Temporary Internet Files (sort of SCORM style, for those familiar with it) and while you'd have to be pretty desperate to cheat at something like a Fire Safety test, it's still a vulnerability we'd like to solve.
I intend to move the quiz data (and eventually, the course content) into a MySQL database, then probably build the XML in PHP and echo that to the Flash course (as we've been doing to update and retrieve assessment scores). I think I could limit how and when the xml is displayed by passing hashes and shared secrets and whatnot between the PHP page and Flash, but this only limits outside access, and anyone viewing the course legitimately will still see the XML passed around (I think..).
Surely I'm not reinventing fire here. Is there a method or a technology in existence that allows the safe, discrete passage of xml into Flash?

View 1 RepliesI have a swf object that is to the left of a header div that is 1000px wide. the swf is 303px wide. How would I make the swf on the left hide behind the window when the windows is only, say, 1050px wide?
Kinda like how this one is: [URL]
notice how the object get hidden, still plays, but doesn't lose it's aspect ratio?
How does someone do this?

I have a spark TabBar and I want to hide and show some elements of it from an external user input (namely a checkbox check)
I am having trouble changing the tabs visibility. They are currently always shown.

I'm writing a scroll menu class, and one of the ways to scroll is scrolling with the up and down arrows. I want to simulate a scroll menu receiving focus by adding an event listener when the user clicks inside a rectangle defining the scroll window, but this function is going to trigger (to test if the event is inside the rectangle) any time the user clicks on the stage. This could prove annoying when, in 6 months time, I use this scroll window in some other project and the debugger ends up in this file after I click "step over". Is there a way to define my class as though it was a native, adobe-written class, so that the debugger doesn't do this?
