View 1 RepliesI've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:

now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).
I have problems with creating a preloader in AS3. I have tried several tutorials but the problem remains... the preloader starts counting at 50% and is only shown after a few sec. I have removed all export in 1 frame from my instances.I have no sound. I would prefer not to load my main.swf into another swf, if there is another solution.

After a few years of using Flash I am creating my first project in AS3 and am running into some problems which are quite common involving targeting movieclips and controlling them. Basically I have a fla which has an MC on the timeline with an instance name of INFO_MC. Now i want this MC to be invisible when the swf starts and I have managed this by using the following code: Actionscript Code: INFO_MC.visible = false;
This is fine. However I get stuck when I try to make INFO_MC visible when I click a button in a loaded swf. How would I target INFO_MC from a button inside a loaded swf. Do I need to add an event to the button and then have a listener on the root timeline which would turn INFO_MC visible when it hears that the button has been clicked?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a game in Flash CS5 / AS3 and I'm trying to get my preloader to work. At the moment, when I load the SWF file with 'simulate download', the file will load but my preloader won't show. The preloader does show for a moment when the loading is at around 90%.I have unchecked 'export to first frame' since that's what the Internet told me to do, but there are so many different tutorials for nearly every version of Flash/AS around that I'm rather confused; not sure how to fix this.My preloader code is as follows:
stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{
[code].....
I'm comfortable with PHP and Javascript but this is the first time I'm using flash. I have Flash CS5.
I've managed to import a movie file, however, as soon as it's downloaded it starts playing. I've tried using the Action stop(); coding, which works file in the export preview in CS5, but on a website it runs straight away.
I know I can't use the command because that stops the timeline but by then the video is already playing. My solution would be to use and have the video in frame 2, then get javascript to jump to frame 2 when I was ready. However, I can't find a way to import a video file to a frame in CS5. Is there a better way?

View 1 RepliesI am totally new to AS3.0 and OOP in general, so this is a very basic question I can't seem to figure out.I have a package.Inside that package is a class.
Inside that class is a function that initializes a timer called setTimer()
I am trying to run setTimer() when the program starts, but it seems that wherever I put the line setTimer(); in the program, I get an error.How and where can I run this function just once when the program starts, so I can initialize my timer?
I'm using the following script to load external swf's in to a main swf, but when I simulate download, the sound of the external swf starts playing before it is completely loaded, i.e, when the percentage in the bandwidth profiler reaches about 60% the sound of the swf being loaded can be heard, and when the percent reaches 100, it continues playing and the content of the external swf are now visible.

im currently creating a page that contains a number of movie clips where when the mouse goes over the movie clips, the mc (which is a photo) enlarges on the screen.
Currently when I click a second mc the first mc is still visible and if the second photo is on a layer above the first photo then it's enlarged image is in front of the first enlarged image. (does that make sense?)Current script is (without any actions to hide the images as they didn't work):

function playMovie1(evt:MouseEvent):void

View 5 RepliesWeird problem going on right now. And I seriously don't know what this is about.
On my main timeline (new document)
I create a text. I convert that text to an image. I drag that image on my main timeline at frame 1.
Then I set opacity to 0%. Create a keyframe at frame 50. Then I Tween it. And at frame 50, I set opactity back to 100%.
When I test the movie (ctrl enter) it just doesnt show the tween AT ALL. It goes straight to the last frame.
When I just go to frame 1, and press enter. It does work like it's supposed to.
Simple loader thats counts to 7 and not 100%. The loading count shoud be like this: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 up to 7 (7 equals 100%). How can we create a preloader like this?

I want to start a timer when the game begins that counts up, but doesnt actually display the time during gameplay, but stops when a player has won and the screen goes to the player wins screen. From there i want that time to display in a text variable along with all the other statistics I have generated. The timer will also need a reset function when starting up the game again.
View 2 RepliesI have a very large projector movie with many loaded in swf files. I want to make it so as you are reading and viewing the whole movie the screensaver is not active. I then want it so after 10 minutes of no activity a screensaver (or movieclip in the movie) starts playing and then goes away when there is activity again. How do I do this? What would be the best way... just have the screensaver (movieclip) the only thing in the first scene and it just goes to this after 10 minutes?

View 2 RepliesI tried to implement a simple preloader for an existing swf movie. I've created a new flash document and added the Loader as well as a ProgressBar component. In the action script of the key frame 1, I implemented the following:
import mx.controls.ProgressBar;loader.contentPath = "myMovie.swf"; pBar.setStyle("themeColor", "0xF49417");pBar.setStyle("color","0x3D566F"); pBar.labelPlacement = "bottom"; pBar.label = "LOADING %3%%"pBar.scaleY = 150; pBar.conversion = 1024; pBar.source = loader; pBar.mode = "polled"; loader.load();
The problem is now that the movie starts playing (i.e. its sound) before the progress bar is completely finished. This usually happens around 80%. How can I avoid that the movie starts before the progress bar reaches 100%?
Its seems to me that there isn't any Spanish speaker, so I reformulate my question in English. What I want is to place the cursor in the text box so that the user can enter the text.
