Can you tab into CS3 Playback components or control them with keyboard commands in a regular (non screenreader) browser like IE? If not, can you in CS4? I believe that all screen readers can control Flash playback now, correct? But I have a higher up who wants it to be keyboard controlled as well.
View 4 RepliesI have a flash based Air application I'm trying to add keyboard accessibility to (not flex).
My problem is that MouseEvent.CLICK is not being broadcast when tabbing to and hitting enter on an interactive movieclip.
The yellow hilight rectangle shows up around the movieclip fine, and the same code works perfectly if it's compiled into a non-air swf.
Is there some difference in keyboard interaction when compiling to Air?
I've created a site in CS4/AS3 (my first site, so I'm still pretty new at Flash and especially AS3). The site contains a number of embedded movieclips. For each movieclip, the user needs to be able to control the playback. I've created a play/pause button that works but I cannot figure out how to use the seekbar component so that the user can move around within the movieclip. Is the seekbar component only for manipulating video files? If so, how might I go about creating a seekbar-type feature for movieclips?

View 2 RepliesI have a simple Flash movie, and have used AS3 to allow users to hit the up arrow and go to a certain frame, then hit the right arrow to go to another specific frame. My problem is the minute I put in "stop();" in the script so my movie stops on frame 1, the keyboard controls do not work unless I double-click the playing video. The minute I remove the stop command from my actionscript, the keyboard controls work perfectly...but my movie obviously starts playing which I do not want.
I need both the stop command AND the keyboard controls, and am at a loss.
I'm trying to control my mp3 sound clips with keyboard commands and have managed to get this to work with internal sound clips:

function playNote2(event:Event){

I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I am new to adobe forums and flash platform. I am using flash cs3 / 8 for almost a year now (timeline with some basic actionscript - AS2). What I need for my projects is a playback skin for the produced swf's. I tried captivate, but when I import the skin actions don't work any more (i tried several tactics - synchronize ... ect). Is there any other way to add a player skin with start /stop buttons and active scrubber bar (slider bar). I can easily create custom start/ stop buttons that does the job but I can figure how to make a scrubber bar that will respond to my flash project user interaction (e-learning purposes).
View 2 RepliesI imported an FLV video and selected a Skin via the Video import wizard. The Under... skin did not display. The Over... skin shows just a sliver of it at the bottom of the published video. There is also a black border about .38" high at the top and bottom of the video. The sliver of the playback control is over the lower border. I've tried resizing the video in the Publish Video dialog, using No Borders and nothing helps. Using Flash CS4 on Win XP. I used the AMEncoder to convert the MPG to FLV.

View 3 RepliesI have a web page with an SWF file on it which in turn loads and plays an FLV file. The SWF is embedded in a layer (referred to here as the "video layer") which is hidden at load time. Elsewhere on the page is a "view video" button which makes the video layer appear. However, I can't seem to find any way to make that video start playing when the video layer appears. My thought was to use Javascript and an onClick to start the playback but I haven't had any luck. I also have a "CLOSE WINDOW" button on the video layer that will have to stop the video playback and close the layer. I have been able to successfully make the video layer appear and disappear, but I have not been able to make the video play or stop. I will also need to make the video rewind at some point as well. Please note that the video itself plays fine if I set the FLV to Autoplay before publishing the SWF but then it starts immediately upon completion of page loading.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there was a way to get the sound from a FLVPlayback component and manipulate it with using a custom volume slider? Within my Actionscript I currently have this code which enables me to control the volume of a MP3:
import fl.events.SliderEvent;
var mysong = new music();
var myChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var myTransform = new SoundTransform();
myChannel = mysong.play(0,10);
[Code]...
But Instead of using the MP3 for sound, is there a way to use an FLV's sound instead?
Is there a way to control a movieclip playback with a slider button? Just like a video player but scripted to control an internal movieclip playback in the SWF.
View 1 RepliesI need to have a swf playback be stopped at launch, but pressing spacebar starts playback. Pressing space bar again before the end is reached will pause playback until it is pressed a second time.When the end is reached, I need to pause on the last frame. Only pressing the spacebar again will cause the the animation to goto the first frame (essentially resetting the animation).I am using the following actionscript, but it takes three spacebar presses to get the animation to replay once the end is reached.[code]

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to control the playback of an externally loaded .swf?
I'm using the MovieClipLoader class to bring an external .swf into my "main nav" .swf, and I would like to allow the user to pause and resume playback of the external .swf.
How might I accomplish this?

I have AJAX running on an application that opens up a new panel displaying a flash video. The flash video uses one of the FLV Playback skins. When I play the video on the panel, everything is fine. But, when I close the panel with the javascript-enabled button, the video would still play even though the panel and video are "gone" from the html page.
I was looking into using javascript to talk to actionscript to control the FLV Playback skin's stop function so that when the close panel function is activated, the video play's stop function would be called. How do I find out the path to and the name of the stop function inside the playback skin? Is it possible to call the stop function inside the FLV Playback skin? Or, would it be easier to create my own video controller?
is the following scripts correct to stop animation by pressing "Space Bar" if the animation is playing. And to play the animation again if the animation is paused. Is there any additional criteria need to be added to make it more solid.
keyListener = new Object();var isStopped : Boolean = false;keyListener.onKeyDown = [code]....

View 1 RepliesI am using an embedded flash movie in my web page. I would like to show some alerts on the page when the movie has played for x seconds, pause the movie while the user views and dismisses the alert and start playing the movie again after that (or the user can press the play button, not important). The important parts being - the app being able to find out if x secs worth of movie has played, pausing the movie then and showing an alert. Is this possible using a php/javascript code within the web page? Or will I have to do this within the flash movie itself?
View 1 RepliesAttached I have a small .fla that basically does the following:
1. A button is clicked (calling the playSound function)
2. The sound is then played, also a small instance of the button is called from the AS library and placed within a sprite that is within a movie clip at the bottom. The event listener is also removed from the main button so it can only be called once.
3. When the small instance of the button is pressed (within the sprite) it stops the sound, removes the icon and re enables the buttons event listener.
It all works fine, and it is worth mentioning I am still new to Flash but getting to understand it more. I plan on having 20 buttons on the screen, and surely theres an easier way then having 20 functions, all more or less doing the same thing!
I am creating a game where the user can control the character either by left or right keyboard buttons or by clicking on a left of right movielcip buttons. Currently, I can control the character using the keyboard but I cannot figure out how to add the MC button control. Here is my current code attached to the character_mc:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.background_mc._x<=-3620) {
_root.background_mc._x = -3620;
[Code].....
Can I add another listener for either movieclip button (left_btn_mc, right_btn_mc) to the above code, or do I need to add the code to the each movieclip button?
