Trying to make it so when you click anywhere on the flash file, it loads a specific website. It works when I go to File > Preview > Flash, but if I try and preview in html it doesn't navigate anywhere. My actionscript is:
Code:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void {

I'm making a piece of flash used for a website banner, previously i've had very little experience with action scipt as i've made various animations only having to use simple functions such as "stop()" and i've made a never ending scrolling menu also, but now i want to have an event that "onPress" a small animation is played where the mouse clicked the banner. What would be the appropriate script to link the .swf i make to the "onPress" command? or what is the right command in general assuming it is that command

Let's say i have a class that simulates a 'button section'.The button bears a title. Like news. I click on it, i transfer the title in the button and the respective news to the body.The body exists outside the class. It's a textField variable. let's assume.
ActionScript Code:
public function xmlLoad()[code].....
keeps giving me an error.1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.but i've seen this done before, except it was on a loader variable...but i don't see how that would be any different.

I'm looking at making some PHP Flash shortly to replace my current website, http://www.mathsnotes.com. I was thinking about allowing users to download a standalone version, i.e. the SWF file or an EXE file. My question is: Will the PHP still work, or is it parsed by another entity, e.g. the users browser?
Also, I wanted to add a live news feed - So is it possible to have flash check every frame ( like a _root.onEnterFrame() = Fucntion{ ... ) the mysql database to look for anything with a timestamp less than say, 5mins, and then display it? Or does PHP require a user to do something like "Update News"?

I was given the task of adding a preloader to an already existing flash website. The website is completely in flash. Each "page" is on a layer and are made of animated movie clips. It is a portfolio website, so some pages take a while to load up. That's where the preloader comes in. I want to put a preloader at the very beginning of the page that will play as the entire site is being loaded, so when the user clicks through, each page shows up quickly and seamlessly.
I have created a preloader in a separate flash file, but can not get it to work with the website. How do I combine these two files to work?

I'm basically a designer with no real programming background. I do understand some basic of AS2, but with AS3 I kinda have no clue. Anyway I got a problem that I have been trying to solve alone for quite some time and can't seem toI'm trying to write my own code based on the thing I have seen in both tutorials. I wrote the fluid layout part based on the first tutorial link, and the preloader part based on the code found in preloader.fla in the second tutorial link. So now I have 2 seperated swf file, which is website.swf and preloader.swThe thing is that once the preloader is done and the website.swf is shown, the fluid layout code inside website.swf doesn't seem to work. Both files has the fluid layout code, and the code works when u open the file seperately, but when it's linked together the code just fails.here's the code on the preloader.fla:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

what im trying to do is make an interactive webssite 100% out of flash.on one of the pages in that website i would like to have one of my custom youtube players that youtube lets you make and gives you an embed code for.problem is that it is an HTML embed code.ive tried everything to get this to work and the best i could do was get the player to work in an independant .swf file but whenever i try to incorporate it into a page in my website and load it in a browser i get a security error saying that i cant let flash access youtube and i have tried everyway on google to get around that with no luck.

making an intro for my site.Right now, it's coded in php, but I'd like to take it to flash.In the intro, (I fail at making images) I'd be making two characters that come in from off-screen and do a small fight. Then the winner gets shot with a bullet and dies.They fade out and then the site comes up.

I have a few questions on creating some animated buttons for a nav. There are 2 actions I want to trigger on moue over. If I want to use a static (PNG) image that I created in Photoshop for the actual button, can I use that? I want to smoothly slide button down on mouse-over and slide back up on mouse off. If I push part of the button off the "canvas" (sorry, this is coming from a Photoshop guy) will it disappear in the final animation? Another way to put that is, if I put an animated element off the white area, will it no longer show up in the movie (.swf) when it's published?
For the second part; you can see a bit of what I want to do if you look at this website's top Nav: [URL] I need the "light" above the button and it's going to be on another colored <div> so I can't set one solid BG color for my flash document. But I want to achieve the effect of the "bar" lighting up above the button and the actual button sliding down upon moue over.

In order to learn the ins and outs of preloaders in ActionScript 3.0 I've been working on a program in Flash CS4. The problem I'm having is that the preloader is not throwing/recieving the Progress and Complete events.I decided to make the preloader an independant class and put it in a seperate package from the document class. I also made a second independant class to serve as a progress bar, which the preloader includes. Basically the structure of my program is Flash File>Document Class>Preloader Class>ProgressBar Class.So far the Document Class creates the Preloader and puts it on the screen (a black box with a progress bar on it so far, I'll add text later). What I'm working on now is getting it to actually preload, so that on the Progress events it increases the size of the bar untill it's completed, and then puts a play button on the stage when it recieves the Complete event.The examples and tutorials I've read on preloaders suggest that all you have to do is monitor the loaderInfo property of the stage object using various events. In order for the external Preloader Class to access the loaderInfo property of the stage, I pass the stage.loaderInfo property to the external Preloader Class constructor as an argument, and the _targetLoaderInfo property of the Preloader Class has that argument assigned to it. I then set up the Progress and Complete events on the _targetLoaderInfo property, expecting it to pass through to the loaderInfo property of the stage. It's not working.

I'm making a website with a couple of loadMovie bits of script in. I'm loading these into empty movie clips in the .fla file, to load a photo gallery and a portfolio.
The problem I'm having is they're not keeping the individual paramaters (if thats the right term) of each .swf file (the movie it's loading)
For example, my gallery.swf requires the scroller to be at x. 29 for it to work. Dunno why, but i worked around it. However when it's loaded into the website.fla file, it's using the x and y co-ordinates of the website, as opposed to the original movie. So, if I place the empty movie clip where i want the movie to load, the scroller doesnt work. However if I place it a 0,0 it does.
With my portfolio.swf the files are not located in the root folder. But my website .fla is. It's not possible to have the files in the root folder because of the way it works. When loading the portfolio.swf on it's own the files work fine and are linked okay. But when the .swf is inside the empty movie clip on the .fla file, it's not going to the correct source, it's seaching for the files from my root folder as opposed to the portfolio folder where the .xml and sub folders are located. Changing the path it looks for doesnt help either. I tried to make it search for "portfolio/gallery.xml" (as opposed to "gallery.xml") and that made the rest of the code try to look inside a portfolio folder (so instead of "gallery/design/image1.jpg" it was looking inside "portfolio/gallery/design etc." whilst already being inside the folder).
What I want to know is, is there a piece of actionscript that will tell the loadMovie function to use the original paramters of the movie it's loading, and not intigrate them with the .fla you're working on.

I've had some trouble making a preloader for external .jpg files. The problem is in the onEnterFrame, I'll show you some part:
PHP Code:
loadjpg = function(mc,jpg) {mc.onEnterFrame = function() {trace("lele"); } }
that is just a part of the hole function, but I think it will be enough. It traces "lele" once, not when mc enters a new frame. I've also tried to call it with different ways like:
[mc].onEnterFrame, with (mc) { onEnterFrame() .

i'm making a preloader for my banner rotator, but the reason to be here writing this post is to ask for help to fix a bug in my preloader, for example: When I click on a button to change the image while the preloader is counting it simply starts counting the the bytesLoaded of old image + the new image(bytes) of the button I've clicked. Then the percentage goes over the 100% ... I didn't want to disable the button, I know is possible in some way but I am not finding success.

I am trying to build a preloader class for loading external content (images in a gallery). I have no experience in this area and I could not find many examples of making preloader classes. I was wondering if and how would it be possible to trace bytesLoaded and bytesTotal from within the preloader custom class. I was trying to pass the Loader's variable into the class and then try to trace the bytes but no luck with that.

When I test the site with the preloader.swf file I made for it, it loads, but then some of my button functions do not work in the site. When I test the site fla file everything works fine. I have been trying things out with the preloader code, but not sure what would cause this.
This is my preloader code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent .PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLET E, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("sample.swf"));
prog_mc.stop();
function loop(eventrogressEvent):void {
