I load an external swf file (a music player) in a certain frame but need to figure out how to remove it when the user navigates to a different section. I've googled it and checked out the rest of the forum but having a hard time finding a specific code I can directly insert, I'm still not too code oriented and wouldn't know how to write it out even if given the proper terms. I feel as if it should be something as simple as:[code]But I don't know AS3 so I ultimately have no clue.
I've got a timeline of events going on with about a dozen frames and about a dozen buttons. Clicking on each button will take you to a different frame. Simple enough. I have no problem with fading the specific frames in (I make the whole content of the frame a movie clip, then tween the alpha programatically as soon as you enter that frame). The issue I have is fading it out, so when you click on another button, that content on the current frame fades out and then you jump to a separate labeled frame, where the new content fades in).
if there is a type of eventlistener that listens when externally loaded swf moves from frame 1 to frame 2? (or from frame 4 to frame 5 etc) SWF is loaded with url-loader and it stops at frame 1.Theres a "to the next frame" button inside content-SWF. When user pushes it,swf jumps one frame ahead. I cannot alter that content SWF anyhow, so I should use some kind of event listener that reacts when frame changes in loaded SWF.
I have a need to have a section in an app I am creating where I have imported an external (print2flash)SWF into my main SWF timeline. When the button is pushed, it moves to a new frame on the main timeline. Problem is, when I forward to the next frame, the SWF stays on any future frame I go to. In essence I need to clear what was imported when I leave one frame and enter another.
This is the code I am using to import the print2flash SWF import Print2Flash.* stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALEstage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT var P2FDocLoader:Print2FlashDoc3=new Print2FlashDoc3("modules/FlashDoc.swf",300,120,650,520,this)P2FDocLoader.addEventListener(Print2FlashDoc3.ONLOADEVENT, OnLoaded); var P2FDoc:MovieClipvar totalPages:Number=0 function OnLoaded(e:Event) { P2FDoc=P2FDocLoader.getDoc()} Is there away to add on on leave frame unload function?
I have searched countless forums (here and other sites) and still have yet to find the solution I am looking for (hopefully it exists).I have an flv file being loaded by the flv playback component. It all works except that the video (and audio) continues to play even after navigating away from the frame on which the component instance is located.I have found a solution that stops the audio by using: SoundMixer.stopAll();But the video is still streaming and affects the site's performance.I want to stop both the audio and video, which means using: playbackInstance.stop();However, all the solutions I have come across basically say to add the stop function to all buttons that could potentially navigate from the frame with the playback instance.
This seems completely tedious and bulky, particularly because I have navigation buttons visible from my "main swf" and the MULTIPLE playback instances I have are located inside a loaded swf with its own navigation as well. By nature of design, the playback instances will not always be on the stage so calling references will undoubtedly throw errors. Of course, there are ways to do all of this with conditional statements, etc. But it just seems like a waste of time.
Client wants the audio from splash page to fade out in bg when user clicks enter button and leaves page and enters next html page? How to do this? WIth AS? Javascript? Does this file need to be embeded on both html pages?
I have the following code on a frame label called "allemande" (frame 890). The first part loads a swf when I click a button called "allemande" that sends me to this frame. This part works correctly.The second part is code that sends the timeline to the "home" frame label when I click the "home" button. This works OK too.I would like to insert code that will unload the "allemande_slideshow" swf when I click the "home" button to go back to the "home" frame label.
/*############### loads allemande slideshow swf ############*/ var myrequest_allemande:URLRequest=new URLRequest ("(mywebsite)/musicGarden/slideshowProFiles/allemande/allemande_slideshow.swf");
[code]...
I added the code below on the "home" frame label and it removed the allemande_slideshow.swf just fine when I click the "home" label, but when I click the "allemande" button, the allemande_slideshow.swf does not re-load.
I loaded xml on a movieclip and i also have a button to go to another frame but the xml keeps loadding!! what can i do to remove the xml each time i click on that button?
I'm currently trying to put a XML updated swf gallery in my gallery menu. I have it loading just fine but when I navigate to another menu the loaded swf still stays on the stage! How do I get the swf to unload when navigating away from the gallery page? [code]I just added the unload stuff today but it isnt working. Yet it's not kicking back any errors.
I'm trying to load an external swf and unload it after its completion. I have tried a few things and am stuck. Here is my current code to loading the swf, which seems to be working fine, its the unload I cant get:
I am using the following code to load a SWF file into a Flash animation. The SWF file is nothing more than a short flv video (10 seconds). Users have the option of clicking a "HOME" mc if they want to return to the main menu before the flv video is completely finished playing.
[Code]....
When I click the HOME mc the lipStop.swf disappears as I intend and the animation returns to frame 1, but somehow I can still hear the SWF file playing in the background. I tried the samething using a FLV playback component and the same thing happens: timeline returns to frame 1, the image diappears, but I can still hear the audio track in the background.
The first part is that I am downloading a SWF from a server that has a bunch of exported images in it. I am doing a lookup of the class names for these images then using that to load the data into the application. Later on down the line it is possible to download a separate SWF that has images in the same format with overlapping names.The issue here is that when loading the second SWF with duplicate names it doesn't overwrite the data as one might expect, it uses whatever was loaded first. So I need to know if it's possible to either make it overwrite the classes with the new data or throw them away before loading the new SWF so the old ones don't get in the way. Is this possible at all
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
I upload my flex client-side swf app to some website that loads different swf's on it's site. So you see your application floating in that website. My app is Flex swf app and has onCreationComplete() that starts the flow of logic. Now I want to do cleanup state and save state in a shared object when the application unloads (or probably exiting event, or closing event..) So do we have any function that I can implement and the flash platform automatically calls that function when the swf is unloading/closing/exiting?? (just like the onCreationComplet() function)
Say I have an image that I loaded using a file loading class I wrote, but then I want to have another class be able to re-size the image anytime the browser is re-sized... can I do something like:
ActionScript Code: var _fileLoaded:FileLoaderClass; //this already contains a loaded image
I have written a basic chat client that talks to an XML Socket server. When it starts it connects to the socket and works fine. However, when I close the Flash Player it is still occupying a connection to the server. I am trying to determine how I can trap the close of the Flash Player and programmatically close the connection to the server before the program exits.
started programming the menus for the game im working on. Everything shows up ok so far but when i select the buttons rather than it loading the next part, its going to a black screen? Does anyone have any suggestions? My code for the MainMenu is as follows:
Then the "game" is another class which is loaded when you select to play the game.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, i have images loaded that are converted to movieclips and named the same as the class so that they display as the background. The main menu image works fine, just not the game background.
I've created an andriod app in flash and need it to exit when the user clicks the home button. I found the following actionscript 3 online
// Check if we are on a Android / iPhoney device.if(Capabilities.cpuArchitecture=="ARM"){ NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, handleActivate, false, 0, true); NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE , handleDeactivate, false, 0, true);
[code]....
However I'm getting errors at lines starting with "private function handle" saying "The private attribute may be used only on class property definitions."
I am working on a flash game, that will be distributed as and EXE file. I would very much like the game to run full screen, which is not a problem, but I am struggling with replacing flash default behavior when escape is pressed. When escape is pressed I would like to display a custom menu asking the user if they want to exit the game or continue playing, not just exit full screen more.
storing ResultEvent data from a webservice request to a variable. Each time I exit my function "getSIHandler" the global ArrayCollection variable seems to reset to null.Here's the code:
We have an applicaiton using AS3 that we run in FlashPlayer 9 and 10 (swf embeded in html). The applciaiton is designed to collect information from an applicant/prospective student. When the user clicks the exit button we show a modal dialog (using the Alert class) with Yes and No.When the user confirms the exit we set display controls,application controls, data displays,campus selection,sub applications to null and unload modules and reinitialize the application before sending a comand to the web browser to reload(usinf the ExternalInterface class). Ideally this will bring the user to the welcome/login page without having any artifacts from their prior flash session.I am having issues with two dfferent things
- When the user clicks yes or no, the applicaiton delays closing the alert modal for about two seconds.
I've made a flash application using actionscript 3, I wanted this application size to be dynamic, To be able to embed it in any size and let it adjust itself accordingly. I managed to accomplish this, theres a problem though: The original width of the application is 700 pixels. I'm embedding the flash in a smaller size, (400 for example) going to full screen, and when I exit, the application sets itself back to being 700 pixels wide, and isn't adjusting itself to the 400px width of the actual embedding area..
I have a opening movieclip that starts playing for my background and then I have two buttons that come up on moues over event, that if clicked on start one of my two longer Movie Clips that I have as progressive download through a flvplayer on Key frame 2 & 3. I have all that working but I want it to go back to the start or keyframe 1 when the clip is done playing so I can use the same opening menu to click on the second movie clip can some one give me any tips on how to get to go back to the start when the movie is done.
I've been following the book "Beggining Flash Programing for Dummies" and I have come up to a part where I create a very simple game. The script involved in the frames are FRAME here:
I am making a frame by frame animation, where I draw a character, make a new frame and use the onion skin to slightly move my character. Is there a way to make a certain part faster than others? I made a character prepare to kick someone, but since i was doing it frame by frame it looks slow. So instead of taking out frames and making it look choppy, how do I make a certain part faster or increase its FPS? I tried making a new scene and changing its FPS, but that still changes the overall FPS.
I making an animation for a preloader.In the animation, a 'line' draws a picuture.There are many lines,and I would like a mask to follow the lines so that it appears that they are being drawn.There are so many that it would be difficult to do this manually by moving a mask frame by frame with motion tweens.
I'm building a flash application where the user can play multiple 30 sec .flv movies (one at a time) in slowmotion by pressing or holding down the left and right arrows keys.The user can hold/press "keypress right" to move to the next (key)frame and "keypress left" to move to the previous (key)frame in the .flv files.I have tested embeeding one .flv movie to the stage and it's working fine.But since I will be using many flv's I want to load the .flv's dynamiclly (on button clicks) using netstream or FLVPlayer. Would it be possible to step beetween keyframes in the same way if the .flv's are loaded dynamiclly? Or, must I embeed each .flv file into separate swf's and then dynamiclly load the swf's to my main stage?
I'm trying to do a work around for a 9-slice animation problem, [URL] and I'm doing a shape tween within a MC... but when I place the animated movieclip on the stage, it displays the first frame of the animated movieclip, and it would be much more useful for it to display the LAST frame of the animation. I feel like there was some way of choosing the stage-display frame of the movieclip in the past, but can't find any way of doing this in CS5?
