i have used a purchased site template, everything works fine locally but when the site goes live it starts off fine but the first menu you click on nothing ever happens, if i go to another menu this loads as expected and if i then go back to the previous (non working) menu it also now loads. Everything works fine from now on just never on the intial load, does anyone have any idea why this may happen?

Any way to set the text that initially appears within a ComboBox without actually making it a selection? I have a ComboBox that initially starts out with one selection labeled "Select One". When you click on the ComboBox, the first selection in the list is "Select One". Is there a way to tell the ComboBox to just say "Select One" when it first hits the stage without making it editable?
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know why Flash videos do not cache when Initially downloaded.
If you wait for a flash video to download filly then refresh the browser the video shows the download bar loading again. Unlike images where the download bar only appears when you first load the image after that its cached in the browser.[url]...
how to do this, But I cannot get my own to work. I am loading an external swf file into an empty movieclip. I would like the external swf to be centered initially, and after page resize.
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.events.Event;
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

I'm loading a dozen or so external .swf movies in the 1st frame of my movie in the timeline which are to be initially hidden and shown to display page content when necessary along the rest of the timeline. My problem is that when I load them in, they all automatically display on the 1st frame. Here's is the code I'm using:
Code:
var keyC:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("keyC", getNextHighestDepth());
keyC = loadMovie("data/Key C.swf", keyC);
keyC._visible = false;
[Code].....
It's as if the _visible commands aren't working in the 1st frame but are in the rest of the timeline. Perhaps I need to use an onLoad method to wait until each MC can be manipulated this way?
I'm trying to create a global variable that initially stores a 0. Then via a function will change the value of that global variable, and allow the other functions to access the new number. I have it working where it adds 1 to the variable, and stores the number 1 however, I cannot get the number to add up beyond 1.
I have this in my first layer,frame.
_global.thisSound = 0;
function PlaySound(){
temp = _global.thisSound;
_global.thisSound = eval(temp) + 1;
}
Please note this is the basics of this function, there are other parts to the function for playing sounds, but this is the only part that I'm having the problem
everytime I look for ways of sending back to XML changes produced in Flash, the tutorial always assume that we are using a server. Is there a way for having a Flash projector that everytime it starts 1-checks for data to load to the projector 2- lets us do changes to data (add, change and remove xml data) 3- and in the end we can save the changes made to the XML file that was initially loaded?

View 1 Replies[code]This script is for a loader image gallery in flash, as part of a class assignment. What happens is that in flash, when I open the swf file, the initial image (images/nair_evanescentautumn.png) will load fine. However, clicking on any thumbnail image (including the exact same images/nair_evanescentautumn.png), will result in an error saying the file cannot be found.I cannot figure out why it is doing this... I've tested it over. Clicking each thumbnail does go to the correct position in the two separate functions. All said full-size image links are in the folder images/, and replacing the initial loader image will load the other images in place of the default one. However, clicking on any thumbnail still results in URL not found, even though everything works correctly.[code]Before anyone asks why I'm putting this kind of content into a flash site, I'm not--this is only for a class assignment. I'm just trying to figure out why my images aren't loading right when I'm only doing the exact same thing in the functions as I am on the other pages.Of note, commissions.swf has the exact same feature, just with swf files loaded instead, and it works perfectly fine. home, traditional, digital, and photography all have the image gallery, and all have the same issue (I only referenced one page because if I can fix one page I should be able to fix all of them).As for the artworks, they are all my fiance's. The website design was built for her, and I used the website design for this project because I didn't want to have to build an entirely new interface design. Since the project also required a gallery, I felt that this interface would work just fine.

how to load external menu into main.swf . do i have to create 2 different empty MC's
View 2 Repliesi'm using hga77's xml menu you can view here.ok, so i'm trying to load swfs from the menu, what i've got so far is:
Code:
function executeAction()
{
loadMovie("NEWS.swf", _root.content);
trace(NEWS.swf);
[code]....
but the menu stops working. is there anything i can stick in this bit "function executeAction()" that will make the loadmovie load a different swf each time, rather than creating loads of loadmovie functions.
I have a menu that is populated by XML, I'd like to know how I can clear that menu to load another one in it's place.
I can get the other menu to load but it's adding itself to the previously generated menu:
so let's say I have an XML document that has <menuItem> nodes that have nodes within them named [this is the default menu][code]...
how can i clear the XML or for loop that created the buttons so that the newly loaded menu from the newly loaded xml is the only menu that is displayed and not tacked on to the existing menu?
For some reason the menu doesn't load to the URL that I specify in my xml file. When I click on it, it showed up as text underneath the menu itself as Link clicked How can I make it so that the link will actually go to URL that I specify in my xml file?[code]

View 4 RepliesI'm making a loader.swf to load a menu.swf file. I'm done this dozens of times the same way and it has worked perfect. But this time...when I load my menu and trace it out, the loader keeps loading and reloading the menu.swf infinitley and I don't know why.
The only thing I've discovered is that my menu.swf file will load just fine IF I delete all of the actionscript from it. If there is even a comment in there the infinite loop starts again.

I've used the so-called "Barney's Slide Menu" for some websites I've built. eg: www.mediashox.com
As some of you may know, this is built in AS1. I'd like to load an xml slideshow into this menu [which is on level0, of course]. But it seems all xml slideshows are built in AS2 or later.
Is there any way I can load an xml slideshow into this Barney's menu? Are all xml driven flash movies AS2 or later?
currently, I have a XML menu. I followed the tutorial from here: [URL]. It needs more work and tweaking, but that's for later. The menu.swf is from an external SWF and it's loaded into my index.swf using the loader.My question is how can I have the menu load different external SWFs, in other words, different part of the website. Do I create another loader in the index.swf for loading the website's content? Can I use the existing XML file for the loading the SWFs?
Here are the codes I have so far:
Index.swf

import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

View 2 Repliesi need to load a series of variables into a menu. seems easy, i've done many times. the thing is, i have to get them from an asp who asks for a parameter.So i tried this:
loadVariables("/medidores/txtflash.asp?pkey=c0321733a51ffa323f", 0, "GET");
but this not seems to work. So, i tried this instead:
send_data = new LoadVars();
send_data.pkey=c0321733a51e82fadc8b3f081ffa323f;
trace(send_data.pkey);
send_data.sendAndLoad("medidores/txtflash.asp", get_data, "POST");
does flash actually stores whatever is in txtflash.asp into "get_data"?
