I'm embedding a flash object in an html page and calling windows.onload to initialize the Flash movie. The problem is that the windows.onload does not wait for the Flash object to completely load. Is there way to make sure that the Flash object has fully loaded?
Here is the code I'm using:
<head>
<script>
var falshObj = null;
function pageInit() {
thisMovie();

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

View 8 RepliesI have got this script working from How to get mouseup to fire once mousemove complete working within the jQuery (document) scope.Later on I added a flash object inside the body.and when I click on the flash object the mousedown event fired, mousemove event fired, but not the mouseup event which where I want to unbind the mousemove. But when I click on non Flash area, mousedown works, mousemove works, and mouseup also works. It works like I wanted it to in Chrome, but not in Firefox.Here are the codes, and I called handleMouseDown in $(document).ready
handleMouseDown: function () {
jQuery(document).mouseup(function() {
Log("unbind.");

I'm just trying to understand a difference between IE, Chrome and Firefox. I have the following code on a page:
$('object').live('click', function(){
alert('Fired');
});
I then populate the page with some Flash controls (in my case, I'm using Uploadify). When I click on the Flash control, I see the alert in Firefox 4. However, I do not see the alert in IE8 or Chrome (I havent tested any other browsers).
I need to catch a hover event on top of a flash object, so I set the wmode and created an invisible div on top of it to attach the event listeners to. Thing is, I can't click the flash object. The cover is swallowing the clicks, and the things I've tried to go around this have made a mess of the hover events. This is the 30th problem I ran into in 2 days time and it's driving me crazy xD.

My webpage loads a background flash which will connect to the server using socket. If a user open multiple windows/tabs of my website, the server will get multiple socket connections. Any idea of how to make sure that only one socket is connected from the same user and same browser?
I am thinking of using Javascript to monitor the window close event, if a window that was connected to the server is closed, one of the other windows will try to connect to the server. But I can't find a way to listen to that event.I was thinking of Flash's LocalConnection too, but can't find a way to assign unique connection names and let other Flashes know.
How do I wait for an external .txt file to load in ActionScript 3? If I use URLLoader, I have no guarantee that the file has loaded, since it dispatches an event when it's complete. I'm calling the loader function from another class, so I can't simply stick the next actions into the event listener.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a viewstack with a few components. Those components have to execute a function with parameters coming from other components. Therefore the other component may not me loaded directly. Is there any way to load a component via AS3 with a function?
View 2 RepliesI'm currently working with soundmanager2 in an IE/flash context (not html5). The issue is that audio playback of mp3 content does not occur for the following case where the 'onload' callback function is defined as null OR as a function that does almost nothing.

I'm using loadMovie() to load external swf's and then send the swf to a specific frame, depending on the button that is pressed.
Code:
on(release){
_root.mc_mainloader.loadMovie("Main.swf")
_root.mc_mainloader.gotoAndPlay("fadeup");
}
Unfortunately it ignores the second line, which appears to be because the movie hasn't loaded by time it gets to the next line. As a work-around I made an interval to check for the movieclip width to be more than 0 and then run a function that chooses the desired frame, but this is very unreliable. Is there a simple way to load the clip and wait until it is finished, then immediately choose a frame on load?
Here's the challenge: I have a Flash movie which will be embedded in a page using an unknown DOM ID that I want to be able to identify/store for callback in a JS function. My ideal user flow would be: User clicks button in Flash. Flash pauses any animations / video / sounds / etc. Flash calls an injected JS function to display a page-covering overlay experience. When user closes overlay experience, a callback method on the Flash object is called. Flash resumes playback.
The problem is, when AS3 uses the ExternalInterface.call("functionName", args...) method, there doesn't seem to be a DOM event triggered, and thus it is impossible to tell which object called a JS function, so having a "registerMe()" function doesn't seem to work. Basically, the injected JS function has no way to determine which DOM object to call, because the ID of the Flash object is unknown.

Because the swf_loader are mp3 player and if i change page wihout having press the stop button first the music is still playing. I have try to just add swf_loader.unloadMovie(); on every other keyframe but it doesnt work. i guess i have to find out where this swf_loader exist/is included right?
I have a class with a XML object in it. In one of the class' methods, I tell the XML object to load a document. Before I do that, I set up the onLoad event to call one of the class' other methods. The problem is that in that handler function, I can't seem to access any of my class' data. If I try to use the "this" pointer, I'm getting the XML object not my class.
A simple example:
[AS]
class MyClass
{
var theXML:XML;

When i test the movie in flash itself everything works fine, but when i open the movie in IE or the stand alone flash player, details_txt and length_txt are both empty.

I have a child component that dispatches an event in Parent. The event in parent makes a call to our database. Right now, the event gets fired off & the child continues without the results. How do I make it so that the child waits for the results from the database b/f the child continues?
in child:
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
dispatchEvent(new Event("getDBcontents")); //
dispatch the event in the parent do some more stuff here but we need pause until we get the result from the parent

I am trying to write functions as efficient and reusable as possible. One function in particular I wrote was designed to easily create new objects from externally loaded files. The problem I have is that I can't think of a way to make the function wait for an event listener to complete before returning the desired object. Here is what I have so far and I will point out where the problem is.
Code:
var myNewObj:Object = loadFile(parentName, "swfs/" , "file.swf");
function loadFile(parentObj:Object, urlLocation:String, fileName:String):Object{
var fileLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I'm using the HTML5 JW Player. It sizes the HTML5 video correctly, but shrinks the Flash fallback player; here's an example page: Test Page
If you view that page in IE, you'll notice that on panel 5, the video is smaller than the space it's supposed to occupy. On Firefox, it works fine because it's using the OGG video in its HTML5 video player.Is there a way to resize the Flash video via JavaScript/jQuery to fit the same space as the HTML5 video?

When the file is finished loading, the mapHandler event makes changes to the class properties, which in turn are accessed using the getMapWidth function. However, if the getMapwidth function gets called before it finishes loading, the program will fail.
How can I make the class wait to accept function calls until after the file is loaded?
I have an subclass that is called from the constructor of the main class. The subclass is loading and parsing a .xml file for images. A Event Listener is waiting for the .xml file to load and the fill the image URL's into an array. This code works fine (tested), but here is my problem.
While the subclass is called in the constructor, I also have code that should display two of the loaded images by default. However, while the xml file is parsing and filling the array, the main code already continues on and tries to display the two default images on the stage. But this causes the program to break, because the code executes before the array is filled from the .xml file.
this is the error the program spits out : TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.using trace I see that it is trying to access the array but its undefined, because it hasnt been filled yet.
Here are the code snippets, concerning that problem.
//Main class code
//the constructor of the main code, which calls the loader class for the .xml
public function GameOfGames()
{
[code]....
Is there any way to make the code in the main class wait for the array to finish filling up before the main code moves on?
I got the following code from Adobe's 'Serverside ActionScript Language Reference'. Here it is:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();myLoadVars.onLoad = function(result){ trace("myLoadVars load success is " + result);}myLoadVars.load(http://www.someurl.com/somedata.txt);
My questions is, if the purpose of the onload event handler is to confirm if the load operation is a sucess,than should it not be placed after the load command? In the above code, the onload event handler appears before the load and yet it works.
I am trying to get a random swf to appear on a page (5 movies possible).
