View 2 Replies1.When a person Logs In, a PHP file makes an XML file of questions from the DataBase2.The Flash application then calls for the XML file .. Reads from it and asks the question to the user.3.This XML file also has the answers to the questions so that i can show on my Flash Application.4. The Problem:Softwares like Tamper Data (it Firefox Extension which gives you the power to view, record and even modify outgoing HTTP requests.give the complete path of the XML file when it is called by the Flash Application.
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to understand how to make referrences from one movie clip to another where one has "loaded" the other. I'm not seeing how to relate the two.keep in mind that I've just gotten comfortable with spittin things up and loading them from external swfs, etc.Lets say that I have a main.swf with a set of 3 buttons(self managed MovieClips actually) that each dynamically load 3 swfs with individual content The first of these sub movie clips(e.g. web.swff) has a set off say 3 thumbnails. I want to be able to have these thumbnails invoke the actions of the 3 buttons up in the main calling movie but I am not clear how to go about calling these functions when they are not in the same scope as the main move. I keep thinking that if I had these thumbnails in a clip within my main.but I still hit this same issue of making a correct reference.This is just a current example. If there is a simpler or better way to explain this kind of communication feel frer to ignore this example or tell me to just go read a tutorial somewhere
// snippet from main.flafunction click_web( e ) { var chl_mc:MovieClip = my_lc.add_content("web.swf");}
function click_motion( e ) { my_lc.add_content("motion.swf");}

I'm working on some generative art animations using Flash ActionScript which appear much smoother at a frame rate of 72 FPS compared to 30 FPS or lower rates.On a Intel Pentium E2200 Dual CPU @ 2.20 Ghz, Flash Player hardly uses more than 9% during the animations at 72 FPS. The animations are meant to run for a quite short period of time (less than 10 seconds each).Is it safe to use this frame rate?
View 1 RepliesSince the dawn of time, man has wished for and invented ways to do enumerations in Flash AS3. There's been various problems with many attempts, such as the ability to use a constructor to create new types of the enum (insecure). I believe the following is type-safe at compile time, and safe from being able to create new instances of the enum class at runtime. The main issue surrounds the inability in AS3 to have a private constructor. In this example, the constructor can only succeed if passed the private static const variable ENFORCER, which is only visible inside of the class.

I've spend the last 6 months developping a Flash (CS4 / Flash v10) game. As I'm now ready to publish it online, I would like to ensure that my actionscript code is safe. Hence my questions are: - Is the CS4 built-in password protection safe? (I guess not given that my actionscript still needs to be executed hence has to be readable for the client)
- What are the best options to further protect my code? (I guess obfuscation is the most common approach: which obfuscators are good?)
in my timeline i have two orbs transforming into arrows. it works, i watch it, then i'm like, ok, all good time to save. i save. exit/open, and come to find that my orbs were not transforming. i looked on the timeline and they are not set to transform, so i redid the shape tween, save,exit open and the same thing. so why won't my file save the shape tweens? i'm previewing it in cs5.
--edit--for some reason it works in the swf file, but not the fla file.
Is it safe to store a password in a SharedObject if it gets saved over https from a Flash based webapp?

View 6 RepliesI have a main fla file which loads an external swf into an empty movieclip on the main timeline which works fine but I want a button in the external swf to load another external swf into another empty movie clip on the main timeline.eg. start.swf loads UKEIAMap.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) MapLoader_mc then a button havant_b within UKEIAMap.swf needs to load HavantProjectSheet.swf into (empty movie clip within start.swf) ProjectSheetLoader_mc without unloading UKEIAMap.swf
View 3 RepliesI am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

View 1 RepliesFlash - 8 : Above is an example of what I would like to do/have done. I've gotten as far as loading the "loaded.swf" into the "start.swf" but my problem is I'd love to use that little loading action I made earlier without copying and pasting into the new movie the same actions for a different link. So, how do I load "loaded2.swf" into "loaded.swf" via the link in "loaded.swf"?
View 1 RepliesFor a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."
View 1 Replies[URL]regarding this tutorial I started my site [URL] to get some trasition effects but im getting somewhat different since the external SWFs take time to load. isn't it better to create "intro and outro" on the same time line instead of loading external SWFs bcos once the movie loaded as a whole will lead to smooth and contineous transitions.

I recently created a site using the "Transitions between External SWFs" tutorial for Flash MX 2004. I use this to load the sections of my site into the main movie file. Each section is an External SWF file. When a viewer clicks on a navigation button, the specific external swf move will load and play. Currently, a viewer would need to click on another navigation option to close the current external swf file. I would like to add a close button to each of the external swfs so that a view has the option to close the window without clicking on a naviagtion link.

I'm a born-again newbie, as it's been awhile, so bear with me...I have a main movie, with the menus and some basic info. I would like each section of the portfolio to load as a separate swf (to save on file size)...we were hoping to have the back/next, copyright buttons on top of a full size image...but my question is how to navigate the home button to return to the main movie with the menus...the old site had separate sections loading into an mtClip with the following code:
loadMovie("vr4.swf", 1);
then when you click home:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("home");
unloadMovieNum(1);
}
how to code the home button on the section swfs to unload the movie, but return to the main movie without reloading?
what i am looking for is an FLV player type component (doesn't have to be an actual component) that will play SWFs. i need it to have all the same functionality (play, pause, scrub bar, etc...) it seems crazy that there isn't one out there i have even looked in the Exchange area and only seem to find ones that control FLVs or MOVs, not SWFs.
View 4 RepliesOkay so i heard it was possible but im not sure.
Example: i have 1 main swf containing everything. inside that swf i load 1.swf
can 1.swf share the same vars and everything as the main swf? such as.. if i click a button in 1.swf, then something will happen in my main movie.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a component or 3rd party slideshow that supported displaying .swfs. Slideshow Pro is a nice component for video and images but lacks swf support.

View 6 RepliesI am no longer able to doubleclick SWFs on my PC and have them open up in their own little SWF preview window. It is asking me to choose how I want to open them. There was no option for any Flash player, so I have had to settle for Firefox fo now which is annoying as it has changed all my SWF icons to the FF logo.I have Flash CS3 installed, and use Flash regularly to create banners and things, so this is a pain.
View 2 RepliesI have a SWF that contains 3 spaces for banners on a 'My Account' page. Initially they all showed the same banners to all customers but now we segment customers and that means each banner can have numerous variations. This has caused the SWF to be massive (over half a meg) for something we aim to have 80-100 Kb.
I believe the solution is to have the current 'main' SWF be a place-holder that decides what segment the customer is in for each banner then pull another SWF file from the server - so only the banner being displayed is the one being downloaded.I cannot find AS to download externally hosted SWFs...
