I have encountered a bitmap problem while embeding my image into my project. Since event listeners don't work on Bitmaps I am having troubles on what to do next so I can use event listeners on my image. Main Class - The section that adds the image in the class:

I am trying to embed a video file into my flash project and I want to to play till the end and jump to a different frame in the timeline. I tried to emport the video into flash and it says that the file is not supported. Can I not do it or do I need to convert the mpeg file into some sort of fla file?
View 1 RepliesHow to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file. Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website [URL] under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them.
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to dispatch an event after Flex loads an mx:image? I'm loading image externally and don't know the width/height until it's loaded. I get an exception when I call width/height to the image before loading.
View 2 RepliesI have imported 5 images to my mc using "for loop" and have add an event listener for loading complete. I can able to know, in which movie clip it is complete. the code is below:
Code:
for (var a:Number=0; a<arr.length; a++) {
var tmc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();
thumbMc.addChild(tmc);[code]....
Now I need to know is, the name of the image which is loaded for each and every loading.
Say you create a dynamic movieClip, and also dynamically add an event listener to it.Then you addChild the clip.Now it comes time to get rid of it - you want to get rid of the object and it's event listener.[code]What I'm trying to do is have a close button on each movieclip that when clicked, runs a function to remove the clip and it's children from display and also remove references to it so that it can be ready for garbage collection.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for an alternative to using:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyFunction);
The problem I am encountering is that eventListener above works fine on its own(stand-alone swf), but when loading an .swf externally into another .swf, the listener fails with the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
How can you target the event listener when loading as an external .swf differently?
I'm in one movie clip and want to remove an event listener set in another movie clip
the following code brings up an error
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at GemoroBovoMetzia23b_fla::Draw_Tool_7/toolsbtn()

i have got all my public vars for sound class but im having trouble on how i would execute them because i normal would use event listener but its OOP lol so how do you get that functionality ?code in star.as file:

i have a movie clip named "contact" inside this movie clip made the same object into a 2nd imbedded movie clip named "em_contact" inside this I did a frame by frame animation and added a new movie clip symbol of a piece of paper named contactbtn_mc on this frame, I added an event listener for a click that acesses on the root level a symbol named contact_mc i told it to go to and play frame 2 that plays out an animation of this object moving into the screen.
my problem here is i asked earlyer on how to stop the em_contact to stop listening for the mouse click once it is clicked. I made the code it come up with no errors but it does not stop the event listener the event listener is still there bellow is my code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
what i want to happen here is for the event listener once it is click to stop listening for that event becuase i have a mouse event inside the "em_contact" movie clip on an object named "contactbtn_mc". and that one has a click event on it as well but when i click on the contactbtn_mc the animation above plays out as well.
Use the flash CS4 tool's on a bitmap image after tracing the bitmap image and applying my settings?
View 10 Repliesso i have an event listener a mouse click in a movie clip name "em_contact" i also have an event listener after an animation plays out on an object called contactbtn_mc, How do i tell Flash once em_contact is clicked dont listen for that event any more?
my code is below
em_contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotocontactanimation);

I have Background layer, Bkg_Image layer & Video layer. I have embeded the flv movie on Video layer. Though on stage it shows all the layers, but when I test the movie it shows only Background layer & Video layer. I can't see the Bkg_Image layer.
The Actions layer has external swf loading AS3 which is working fine. Only the problem with Bkg_Image layer which is imprortant for me.
When I test movie, I see as in the following snapshot (Just the Background_Image & Video):

I'm brand-new to Flash (taking a course in it), and I'm wondering if the effect I'd like to achieve is possible or not:
I have a graphic of a silk background. I'd like to add bones inside it and set poses so that the silk seems to ripple slightly. Is this possible with a bitmap image? Or only with shapes? (I've had no success so far -- as soon as I attempt to set a pose, the image disappears.) I wish I could draw silk, but I can't make it look realistic.

View 1 RepliesI'm all very new to Flash! I'm a Designer. I recently out sourced a flash project and now my client needs it updating. My project consists of a music mixing desk. You press a button and video pops up. The buttons are in the stage. When pressed, this triggers a movie clip which loads a FLV player. SIMPLE! ([URL] - to see the site in action!) I have a simple flash gallery [URL]. I have put the SWF, image folder and XML in the root. I have tried embedding the SWF gallery into my Flash Project by importing it into the library and dragging it to where video content usually lives (FLV player). It doesn't work. I've tried other techniques (loadMovie etc). But I'm a bit fuzzy on these methods.
View 0 RepliesThere's a bug that only shows up in Windows, not Mac. When a player moves a card from one pile to another, a copy of the card image shows up in the left corner and stays there until the player moves another card. When the player moves the mouse over the image the image erases.

I am trying to figure out if it's possible to embed an external flash music player (in this case sound cloud) to play some of my own tracks in my flash site. I don't want to create my own player as the sound cloud player is really nice and also has stats.
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a project in flex builder but it's not using the flex framework, it's just pure actionscript.
At the moment I have some bitmap resources embedded for drawing things, but I'd like a little animation and thought I could create swf animations for them in flash and use the [Embed()] thing to embed them in the actionscript project.
This works perfectly well for me, however I'm a little concerned about efficiency and how well this approach will scale when my project gets larger.
Does anyone know if there are any efficiency implications to embedding maybe 20 or 30 swf files, or do they get efficiently integrated into the main swf file? Most of the animations are really simple and I could probably redo them in actionscript if needed but it's a lot easier just to draw them in flash and embed them.
The Flash IDE is capable of embedding many types of uncompressed sound files, including wav, and offers optional compression when publishing.However,the [Embed] tag, only seems to allow embedding of mp3 files.Is it truly impossible to embed an uncompressed wav file,or am I missing some magic, undocumented mimeType?I was hoping for something like:
[Embed source="../../audio/wibble.wav" mimeType="audio/wav"]
...but I get no transcoder registered for mimeType 'audio/wav'.It's possible to embed wav or other format as an octet-stream and parse at runtime,but that's pretty heavy handed I think. I'm surprised that even though the Flash IDE can embed uncompressed sound data,[Embed] cannot, given that the swf spec can contain uncompressed sound data.
I have been trying to embed a font into a project I am working and its just not happening. I am having 2 problems first I am trying to embed a font that I do not have installed on my machine (Helvetica Neue Bold), I do have a copy of the otf file though. As far as I know what I have tried should work however when I run the swf I only get Times New Roman. From the enumerated fonts I can see the font has embedded but it just wont show. Secondly if I replace the Helvetia font with one I do have on my machine (Arial for example) the text displays with the correct font but if I then set embedFonts = true the text disappears.
Code:
package{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.Font;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

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 3 RepliesIs it always best practice to remove every listener that you create in a project?I thought I had this worked out but all of a sudden I am getting errors by trying to use the removed from stage listener.So there are buttons on the stage and some movieclips that those buttons make visible and here is the code that I am trying to use, but it generates errors on leaving the frame. I think this is the same as what I have been using but somehow it is now not working for me.[code]...

I want to remove the appropriate child (e.currentTarget) and create a new child in its place with the next line, but it doesn't work. What do?
if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
View 3 RepliesI'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
