View 1 RepliesMy teacher gave me the task of making an interactive touch screen flash for an open day at my school, i can easily do most of the things to make this work but two things evade me.
He wants the writing in a word document linked so he can easily change what the document says without re exporting the flash.
He also wants me to be able to make the pictures from a document appear in a slideshow without adding each individual picture in a random order as a screen saver effect.
I want to make an image gallery player that loads images from a folder that would change based on what page the user is on. How do I detect which page the user is on and how do I read the number of images in a specific folder?

So, if a user were to draw something, and click a "save" button, they would be able to save their drawing to the server as a jpg.

View 1 RepliesI have hundreds of images that need to play a unique sound when clicked. In order to simplify the building of this flash file I need to streamline it in a way that will allow me to change only one word. Below is some example code.

I have a flash image rotator that is controlled by an XML file that looks like this:
[code]...
how do i add links to each of these images
I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I've made an image map in Flash using AS3, however it does not seem to be working properly. The links only work in a strange succession. In order to click all the links you must first click the last link followed by the first link, then the second link. After that the image map behaves as it is supposed to. I'm not sure why this is happening. It complies without error and aside from the little quirk mentioned above, it works beautifully. I've checked and double checked the AS, even copied and pasted some code from one button to another to see if it would make a difference, but to no avail. I am using the code listed below:
[quote] button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callLink1); function callLink1 (event: MouseEvent) :void { var url:String = ("http://www.google.com"); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (url); try { navigateToURL (request, "_parent"); } catch (e:Error) { trace ("Error occurred!"); } [/quote]
im trying to make this menu, just having one small problem linking the image or movieclip in the libary to the blank movie clip called instant name icon_img i have a movie clip called mp3_icon with an linkage ID of mp3_icon
Code:

b1.onRollOut = out;
b1.buttText.buttonText.text = "Main Conference Day One - Neil Watson";
b1.buttDesc.buttonDesc.text = "Developing finace Management";[code]....
Yesterday I spotted what seemed to be a minor issue with having a linked image in a dynamic textField. Basically, this doesn't work as expected:
HTML Code:
myField.htmlText = "<a href="[URL]"><img src="image1.jpg" /></a>";
You get the hand cursor when you mouse over the image, but clicking does nothing, unless you inadvertantly click an invisible 1px border around the image.
I've tried:
Loading an external image (<img src="images/image.jpg" />)
Loading a bitmap in the library (img src="myImage" />)
Loading a movieclip from the library (img src="myMC" />)Using textField.getImageReference:
myField.htmlText = "<a href="[URL]"><img src="image1.jpg" id="myImage" /></a>";
var imageButton:DisplayObject = myField.getImageReference("myImage");
imageButton.buttonMode = true;
But absolutely nothing works. All of the data being loaded is from a database, and I've got a couple of lengthy methods in mind that I could use to dynamically attach movieclips with link references, but it involves edits to MySQL, the XML output and a couple of PHP files, as well as the AS.
After a creating a new test file from scratch, it seems that the real culprit is when you embed a font into the textfield. I initially tested a new textfield with absolutely no formatting and the linked image worked perfectly. As soon as I added a font to the library and embedded that into my textfield, the link stopped working.
I need help figuring out the code that will allow a button that is outside of an XML gallery to go to a specific image in an xml gallery. Specifically, i need to link a thumbnail, that is on a different frame then my xml gallery, to the corresponding image in that gallery.
View 0 RepliesFor the music player that I've designed and am making come to life in actionscript 2.0, I'd like to have a custom made image be shown for the entirety of the song that it corresponds to. I've already made the images for each of the three songs, but now I just need to figure out how to make them show inside the player every time it's matching song plays. I should add, that I've made a default image for the player as well, that I'd like to be shown, whenever a song is not playing.
Additionally, there is a "Play All Songs" button that is already operational on the player and plays 3 songs in succession. How would I go about adding the 3 images to be shown consecutively, as each song plays? The way the button is set up, I joined all 3 of the songs together with a 3 second space in between, as a single music file. So the button contains only one file that plays all 3 songs, not a separate one for each of the them.
I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.
I am working on a file that has a rotating dial, and I'd like the dial to reveal contents of a text field (a link) as the dial points in the direction of the text field. I have 4 text fields located at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees (top, bottom, left and right). I have it controlled via AS, so I've got all the Math but I was hoping someone might know how to reveal the links when the arrow (in the dial) is pointing in these directions.I set up a text field for testing, which shows the degrees, but I'm getting 'NaN' in the field (problems with Theta and converting degrees to Radians, I think). I thought this might help me figure out how to reveal those links, if I can get the NaN to work.Currently, the file is rotating with an onPress, but I'm going to convert it to a mouse follow, instead, so the user only has to float around to see the links.
View 5 RepliesI want to build an application using air. The application should load the flashlog file and display the contents after performing some text filtering.But when i load the application this clears my flashlog.txt though my file mode is READ.I can understand that running my air application clears the flashlog and prepares it for new logging. Is there a workaround for this.I dont want to open the flashlog file everytime and check for traces from my web application

I have a block of html text which is displayed to the user in a TextArea. Currently, the I have embedded the HTML as an XML object within one of my classes, but this seems like a terrible design. I would like to put the HTML in an embedded file and load it into an XML or String object.
I've tried to search for how to do this, but my searches return information on embedding images and fonts, not text which can be loaded into Strings.
Is it possible to embedded text or xml files and load them into variables in Flex?
When it loads, my AS3 script generates input type text fields with filler content text e.g. "type your text here."

I have created a simple Flash file using actionscript 2 (CS3) that allows a user to enter text into an input text field and then print the results.

View 2 RepliesI'm loading content from a text file into a text field in Flash. In that text file I have some simple html tags like <b>, <i>, and <img>. I'm setting the textfield as html text:
myTextField.htmlText = myContent
The img tags work fine, but for some reason the bold and italics are not displaying...the tags are being correctly stripped from the text, but there is no bold or italic text. I'm embedding all the characters I need, but do I need to somehow embed the bold/italics versions of those characters?
I went through this tutorial and i pretty much understood how to extract data from nodes. I got a few questions though. (I'm new to flash and AS) How do you apply a getURL to a text? if i use "getURL" as such, it opens the page without being clicked on. And if i use onRelease, it'll cause an error because i don't have any buttons.

I'm used to java so i can pick up some things fast. If thats used in the AS template from the tutorial it works pretty well except that the link opens up without it being clicked on.

Could i do something like "if nodeName = URL" do something?

I'm sure that I did no mistake in typing the URL, for it works fine in the browser (also no spaces, no freaky chars), and when i change the URL to another domain (and put the txt file on that server) everything works fine. I tried both possibilities "network access" and "local access" as well as running from an exe projector. But no chance.
