I am new to Flash and working with a site template that uses a xml data file. In the animation there are a couple of 'read more' links that when pressed, the movie animates to a read more screen with basic info depending on which it is (read more 1, read more 2, ...) In Flash I have added an image on one of the main pages and I would like it to link to the same readmore just as one of the text links does.
The xml has the following line for editing the text, so I see how it is calling the readme page with asfunction, but I have no idea how to use actionscript (or behaviors?) within the flash document to mimic this with an image as the link. I am guessing its something simple but I have yet to stumble upon it.[code]...
I need a good Flash strategy for creating an ordinary PowerPoint presentation. We always need very media-rich presentations (PP is weak in this area). So far we have relied on embedding a Flash object in PP. This turned out to be a bad move because many of our clients deal with the Defense Department and are not allowed to D/L and install the latest Flash player. I have found that publishing a Flash movie projector (.exe) that advances slides like a PP is a good solution. The problem is that I have to put buttons on each slide and write unique functions to advance the slides I would like to be able to simpley click the mouse or use the arrow keys (like PP) for navigation. Should I use the "Flash Slides Presentation" template?
im creating an RPG game, and im trying to mimic the combat log used in Final Fantasy XI and XII. (go to http://herenbdy.iblogger.org/game.swf , press the attack and magic buttons and youll see what i mean)
My Combat log is a movieclip with a dynamic text field. Currently my code for the attack and magic and help buttons is this:
[Code]...
My buttons are movie clips with Dynamic text fields for their names. If you press the attack / Genesen / Help buttons, youll see that the lines of text in the combat log are put in right after each other, i used a || before each message to make it eaiser to read. Id would like to know how I would go about making the combat log messages appear on different lines as apposed to the same line?
I tried to make the text field into an HTML text field and do:
Code: combatlog.combatlogtext.text = combatlog.combatlogtext.text+" <br> Press the H key to toggle the combat log off and on.";But that doesnt work, can anyone help? Please tell me if i phrased my situation awkwardly.
I am trying to mimic a powerPoint presentation with Flash MX. I have 19 different slides and have created 19 small flash files, one for each slide. I am using alpha transperency to fade text and images in and out. I have also used the load feature to have another movie file load and play when the last one is finished.It works fine locally on my machine but when I upload it to the server to be viewed by all I get pauses in between movie files.
I would like to take advantage of Adobe's Runtime Shared Library system for swc's, but I'm not sure how it ACTUALLY works, like the programming behind it. I understand that it allows you to load SWCs at runtime, but how does it do that?
I'm asking because I would like to try to mimic something like the Signed RSL "swz" system Adobe uses to cache the Flex Framework into the Flash Player, so if you ever visit a site that downloads the Flex framework for some flash website, then the next time, and forevermore, you don't have to download it again.
I can't do this because I'm using my own version of the Flex SDK from the Sandbox, and I have like 5 other swc's I'm using (Mate, RestfulX, etc.). I would like to be able to cache these things permanently, and only have them re-download them if they change.
How do I do that, or what should I read, other than the Adobe RSL docs and such? Can I use javascript or ruby to do this?
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches. here is the code

I'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.
I have a movie clip with a stop command on frame 1 and a stop command on frame 20.I'm trying to have two separate buttons that tell the MC (onRollOver) to play forward or to play backwards.
The actionscript on button #1- PHP Code: on(rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(_currentframe +1);} The actionscript on button #2-
I have created a SWF file that streams an FLV file.What I would like to do, is have an actionscript command activate AFTER the FLV has played to the end of the movie.
Are there known issues regarding the getURL command in Firefox 3.5?I made a very simple flash movie with some getURL commands and they work in IE7 and IE8 but not in Firefox 3.5.[code]I just tested in Opera (9.24) and it doesn't work either...
I have this flash file, and I need it to start on mouse over event. No links or url pages! Simply start playing. How do I do that? I figured how to stop it from topic below.
I signed on to this adobe forum hoping some one can help me. Ive created a navigation bar in Flash CS5.
Ive got my up, down, hover states to work perfectly but the state hit i just cant seem to figure out what it does. What im looking for, is for someone to help me with, when a user lets say clicks on 'Home', i want that link to stay 'red' so that user knows its on 'Home Webpage'.
I dont know if i have to add code in flash for it to do that or if its done by the hit function. Because ive set which colour hit should be, but when i hit/activate the 'Home Webpage', it wont stay a solid colour, to show its active. It just goes back to its original colour after doing hover/down/hit.
Is it possible to delete the contents of a local XML file using a Flash CS5 document being played on the desktop and using AS3?
Ok i have done some research but still no luck. I was going to use a separate batch file with a windows command that did what I needed but since I will be calling the fscommand once a second the dos window would pop up a lot.
Are there any thirdy party plugins that will allow flash to run windows commands?
When I click my map_mc button - I want ALL four MC's to have an alpha of 0. But what I want to know is whether I can have a group name for these 4 MC's. For eg: menubuttons
Use the following syntax (you can concatenate several commands into one string): MMExecute(Javascript command string);
I wanted to know if this opends the possibility of having a swf file, that when run, can execute jsfl script that will create a folder on the user's computer?
Is there a way to use the stopallsounds command with an exception? I want to stop all narrations (in a presentation) when a button is clicked but keep the background music going. So i want to stopallsounds except the background sound.
I've noticed on some flash sites I can hit command + (on a mac) and the browser window will resize but i've noticed with some .swf files, it doesn't work. It keeps the .swf the same size but increases the size of everything else around it. I've been looking into this issue for two days and I've been trying a bunch of examples from what i've been finding but nothing seems to work.
I've built my web site using the ZigoEngine (mosesupposes)... I'm also calling my images dynamically from a folder.The problem is that the following code is making a conflict with the button which swithes the next image. If i remove the code, it works. However the purpose of thezigo is completely different and I can't see the connection..
I have a simple game on a webpage. Once it returns a result it needs to notify the page so that page can do additional things. I am not doing the page but I have to embed a doneplaying() command at the end. This is all single timeline frame code based.
As shown in the example... I have entered an action to load a movie when I press a button.It works fine but the original swf was made at 800 by 600 when I need it to be 400 by 200.Is there a way to have the video loaded smaller using some kind of width and height line to the command above?I don't want to have to go redue the swf I am loading in...In the swf, I am working on this for class, so It is not finished or have any real sense to it, other than what is required by the teacher
Although I'm a pretty solid animator, i know almost nothing about actionscript.Recently i got the code to have a button go to the next scene.I now have multiple buttons named nex, nex1, nex2, nex3, and nex4, which i need to all to go to the next scene when clicked.everything ive tried using my little knowledge of actionscript has failed
I have a few long pieces of music (10 minutes plus) and was wondering if there is any actionscript 2.0 command I can give to basically say either after X.mp3 ends do Y timeline control or even if there is a way to enter in a time so after X minutes do Y timeline control.
I have a project where i have 5 buttons (all on seperate layers) that i want to link to frame 2, frame 3 frame 4, frame 5 and frame 6.So for example i want my about button to link to frame 2 and latest news button to link to frame 3.The seperate pages are housed on the 'page layer' layer.I am using the built in code snippets in cs5 to do this, therefore i am using the 'click go to frame and play' command and changing the frame number accordingly.My problem arises when i use the stop command on the first frame. If i dont use the command the swf cycles through the 6 frames continously, but when i do use the stop command the buttons do not work as the application has stopped.
Is it possible for a flash program to know when it is closed when embedded in a webpage?asically I have some variables which get updated whilst the user is navigating around my program, and I want that once they have left, those variables are saved. I'm only looking to save a set of variables, which is likely to be a small 10~ item array or a series of text variables, but what I really want is the variables that are saved to be accurate when they leave
