I have a series of animations of graphs etc in different flash files. Tried to put everything on the one timeline but was getting way too confusing so thought I would put each part in a separate flash file.
What I want to do is, once one file has come to an end load the next one up to play and so on. This is all part of a presentation so the user will click the keyboard to progress to the next file.
I'm using Flash CS4 on a Mac with Action Script 3.0.
I have created a number of flash files, and now want to combine them all into one single movie file. For example, the files run like this: section1.swf - section2.swf - section3.swf - section4.swfI have created a 'host' file, to load the individual files, but I want to play these files in sequence. So that at the end of section1.swf, section2.swf will play and so on.... Can anybody guide me as to what is the most straightforward method of doing this? I have little or no knowledge of actionscript so the simpler the better for me
I'm trying to get a .swf (a game, with three total .swf files: main, title, game) onto my site and am having a problem. I understand how to actually do it and make it run (publish as HTML, copy/paste code in Dreamweaver, etc..), but my problem is having multiples .swf files and them not loading. When I embed code for one of the files, the page will play that .swf file and won't load the next .swf file (Main just contains a loader that loads title, Title will load the game .swf when prompted, Game will run). If I just 2x click the .swf files in my folder it will work, as will an .exe, but can I make it so each .swf file will play in HTML?
I have two flash files that I would like to play back to back in the same location on my site. I would like one to play, and then when it's done, I want the other to play in its location.
I googled around and read up on the loadmovie variable, which I thought that is what I needed, but it isn't working.
To start out, what I did was create a new flash file, then I inserted an image into the timeline on its own layer, converted it to a movie clip (named pic_mc), did a fadeout effect on that image, then I created a new layer, and on the frame directly after the image, I put the following:
I then ran a test (ctrl+enter) and all I see is the fade out image, and not the other flash movie. I even uploaded the .swf to my site and tested it there in a real world situation, and it didn't work. It just fades the image out and restarts the movie.
I'm using AS3. I have multiple swf files to load in an array, and then play them from a master swf file. I've found scripts that can do that, but I can't find one to continuously loop through the swf files. I need a script that can load multiple swf files, then loop through them all. This is for a tradeshow display that needs to run all day. They are large files, so memory is a concern.
How can I play flv files continuously..?? I have developed code for playing flv files in my browser. Those flv files are streaming from flash media server. I can play files individually, but I want to add one button to play multiple flv file continuously when one button clicked. How can I play those multiple flv files continuously...??
I have a flash "hear from the experts" video in which multiple speakers discuss an issue. I have it set up so you can listen to each speaker one at a time, however, I don't know how to pause and play each speaker so if you wanted to pause it and return or pause it and start a different speaker, you could do that and then resume where you left off. It would be even cooler if I could add some sort of status bar that shows how far into the audio you are, and you could skip ahead. I uploaded the file in CS3 - I had to actually delete the MP3s that are triggered to play on each play button in order to make it small enough to upload, but if you look at the code you can see it there.
i have a php script that selects an array of different wav files. i want to send the files path to flash file and let the flash file load each of the file and play it in a loop.
I have many flash files and need to play continuously on page load i have try some java script but i cant get the event that first flash file end so next flash starts on that event
I'm writing a small game app in Flash, and I'm wondering what the benefits of having one giant SWF loading everything vs multiple webpages and multiple SWF's.
I'm using Flash 8, and I hope I word this correctly.How would I set it up so that I can share a single piece of art across multiple files?My goal is to arrange it so that I can edit the art in the original file and automatically update the art in all files linked to it when published?For example, I'm working on a character animation where the character appears in many episodes and the episodes are split into many .fla files.If I needed to change the appearance of the character in all of the episodes which are spread across many .fla files, I would I have to do it manually?
I'm getting a long fine with AS3 (taking a while) however I've just downloaded an example file and can't see how multiple external .as files are linked to a the FLA. I understand how the first file (InventoryDemo.as) is set as the class in the FLA and is referenced but cannot see anywhere where the second is referenced (Inventory.as).URL...
So i've made my .swf files. The only thing is they all play at full screen when i play them using my web browser. I need them to play at 548 x 408. when i open the .fla and go to properties it says the size IS at 548 x 410 but it can't be if its playing full screen.
in older versions of flash player if I opened a swf file in a web page locally it would bring up a security settings box where I could allow files to play locally - but this doesn't seem to happen in flash player 11 - how do I enable my swfs to play locally?
Im always encountering this same bug since I got Flash CS5 everytime I open multiple files on Flash, my instance names lock in this case I have to restart flash and pray the instance names wont lock up again... It's really getting annoying because I could be working on up to 10 files at a time which forces me to individually open each file everytime I start my project.
how do you properly handle namespace collisions in SWC files if one SWC has fewer classes from that namespace than another?I have a rather large Flash application which I'm building in Flash Builder (because coding/debugging in the Flash IDE is.not good) and I've got a ton of external SWC files which I'm linking in to my application. This has worked well so far - the file size is on the large side, but it's a lot simpler than loading in SWFs, especially since I am extending most of the classes in each SWC and adding custom code that way (it's a very design-heavy app.) The problem I'm having is when I have Flash Components, like ComboBox or TextInput, in more than one SWC. Whichever SWC was compiled last will work fine, but the others will fail with errors like the following:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@1f21adc1 to fl.controls.TextInput. at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren() at flash.display::Sprite()
[code].....
I've been researching components, ComponentShim, etc. but I'm running up against a brick wall. I thought it might be the fact that some of the components had their skins modified in the source FLA, so I tried replacing them with the default skins. How can I ensure that I have the components imported and available to all my classes, yet still be able to skin them and include them in my various FLAs?
As known, each subsequent time that the FileReferenceList.browse() method is called, the FileReferenceList.fileList property is reset to the file(s) that the user selects in the dialog box. And my question is:
How to manage to "remember" all previously selected files, each subsequent time that the FileReferenceList.browse() method is called? so that to append new ones and upload them all later on.
My project is made from multiple SWF files. I'm able to create .app from the main SWF file. Is it possible to put the related files into the .app directory structure? Where should be placed? Into .app/Contents/Resources/? Would it be possible to access these files using some relative path to this location from the main SWF?
I'm working on a Flash project that deals with multiple files. There is a main file that loads in individual SWF files as they click on different buttons. The course has dynamic text Fields that are populated via XML. So right now, my idea is to give each page it's own XML file? Would this be better suited to have one single XML file for all the pages, and the container file or multiple files?
Also, this is going to be a multilingual project. EDIT: The XML files will just be storing text information to populate the text fields, and some links to load in images. Also, the loaded SWFs will never be accessed without the use of the main "container" SWF.
Im creating a really simple flash website and script to load multiple swf files into the main flash file. Im using cs4 with action script 2 but I have no idea on how to code the script to make it work properly. I have a navbar and each time you click on a tab a want it to load a seperate external file, unfortunately now it just keeps playing the same one over and over again. How do you make one close when a new tab gets clicked.
I'm trying to combine movieclips that I've created in multiple flash files and bring them into a single flash file. The structure of this "program" is it has navigation (forward, backward, menu, contents, etc...) and it is timeline based. On each frame there is a MC that is a mini game (matching game, multiple choice, drag and drop) and the user makes there way through each page. The problem that I'm having is that alone in there respective flash files they work fine and there are no errors or bugs. Then when I try to bring these together and essentially make a longer "program" with all of the smaller flash files put together by coping the frame and pasting it into the bigger file it gives me all kinds of errors and output warnings.
I have 10 to 15 different exe files which I want to play one after another, is there any way to play them. Do I have to make the batch file and play the exe file.
I'm having a little issue with the sound on my flash website. The way my site is set up so far is that after the preloader, i have an enter site page that holds there until the user clicks on the "enter site" button. Once they click that button it takes them to the site. I would like to add 2 different sound files to this. One file for the enter site that loops over and over until the user enters the site and then that sound file will stop and the other sound file will start.
When I tried this I could not get the first sound file to quit playing once you enter the site. So basically when I am on the "enter page" it's playing the looping file fine but when I click "enter site" it plays the other audio file on top of the one looping. I hope this makes sense.
I am a complete novice when it comes to flash and web design in general. I have purchased a flash template [URL] which I have been able to customise to my liking for a small production company. I am now completely stuck when it comes to integrating videos within the site.
I understand that I need to have an Xml playlist and some action script that references the videos to the player, but I have no clue on what to do.
I am looking to have a video begin as soon as the site loads and then have the buttons on the orange bar allow the user to navigate between other flv files. I would possibly be interested in including firther links on the video samples page.
