I've recently downloaded the Flash CS5 and we wanted to upgrade license, but we experience VERY bad problem.Steps:
1. Create blank FLA AS 3.0 movie.
2. Add to first frame (stage), for example, TextArea component and name it "xxx".
3. Set in "Properties" window in "Component Parameters" tab:text - "hello world"maxChars - 10
4. Add script to first frame with next code:[code]
SO NUMERICAL PARAMETERS DON'T WORK! I not a new to Flash. Have worked more than 5 years with this. Also we've tested such behaviour with latest (downloaded today and yesterday) packages from OFFICIAL url...we've tested this behavoiur on different machines, with different operating systems.
i uploaded the same copy of a website to 2 different hosting for testing. the preloader that displays the percentage loaded when u click on a SECTION in the site (not the very first 1 tat appears before u enter) is done using the movieClip Loader Class, the preloader bar & percent text displays correctly on 1 server but doesn't on the other. My guess is the bytesLoaded n bytesTotal parameters are undefined in the "not working version".[URL]
Code: var mcLoaderA:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); var listenerA:Object = new Object(); mcLoaderA.addListener(listenerA);
I want to do a setinterval but my var have 2 parameters and it does'nt work with it var myInterval = setInterval(alt(pX,pY),80000) How can I do to make this work, I'm making like a ALT beside my button so I really need my parameters?
I have a flash website, with two menu the main menu that loads by Loader class swf files with the respective content. And the secondary menu that changes the language of the site. How do u implement the action of having the site translation?
1)Passing params Load file.swf?langid=n then reading by loader info (this one is not easy to test since loading swf with params doesn't work in flash ide debug env.)or
2) on load complete cast the loader to a movieclip the accessng a main func with the task of translating the whole swf contents(the same func i should have at point 1)
I need to dynamically pass 2 parameter to an swf movie to make it work properly, they are a number and a boolean. To do this I've changed the html page which contains the movie to php, I pass to the page the parameters' values through GET. The values are correctly passed to the page, I've tried to print them.
I build the call to the swf in this way collpreloader.swf?connid=<?php echo $_GET['connid'] ?>&animazione=<?php echo $_GET['animazione'] ?>
collpreloader.swf correctly reads the connid parameter, but animazione results always true.
I am trying to build a .xml image scroller using the scroll pane component in CS4.I choose Actionscript3. Drag the component to the stage. Give it an instance name.Then I look for the Parameters that used to be in the properties panel in CS3. Not there anymore.I find that the Components Inspector has Parameters in there now.OK.I need to use ContentPath to tell the component where the .xml file is so it can find the images for the scroller.Can't find 'ContentPath'.How can I point the component to a .xml file?Is there a way of getting Parameters back in with properties - it was so much easier.
I have about 10 as3 coded buttons that use the same AS3 coded parameters to control the font and filters of their text fields. I'd like to create a global function to hold these parameters, and then just call the function within each button, and then also code each button to have it's own myText.text = "blahblah"; I can set up a global function no problem using an external as file, but am having trouble getting Flash to accept the parameters. For example, the following parameters work fine when used within the text fields of the buttons, but as so as I try to put them in an external global function, Flash doesn't like the parameters being external:
Is it possible to globally find/replace FLVPlayback parameters (e.g. contentPath, skinAutoHide, etc.) so that parameters can be changed globally throughout movie? I'm using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2. Or, is there a way to override the FLV parameters at runtime using AS2?
I'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).
I have created a Flash movie which, when previewed in Flash works perfectly. Flash CS4.I have put this code in at the start:
mysitebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick); function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void { var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://www.example/home.html'); navigateToURL(request,'_self'); } navigateToURL (new URLRequest('http://www.example.html'), '_self');
and a Stop() action on at the end.
Publish with "Loop" in HTML tab is unchecked.
The Loop button is unchecked in Dreamweaver Parameters.
I have a swf that plays in the browser and I would like to give the user an option to open the swf into a stand alone player. The best way I see to do this is to export the swf as a projector file but I can't figure out how to pass any params (flashvars) to the exe file.
I am making several movie clips that are linked to scroll panes.All of the content is text.I have one movie clip that is a bit longer than the others and if I test the movie a good deal of the text is CUT OFF.This ony happens with the long text movie clip. Is there somewhere I can change the lenght parameters?
I have been using flash AS2 for about 12 months but I'm totally at a loss with something that seems totally straightforwards...How can I input only numeric data so that AS recognises it as numbers not text?in the test below the input field in _root.myNumand I'm using a button (_root.in2) to test. I've tried:
Code: this.in2.onRelease=function(){ var numVar:Number = parseInt(_root.myNum);
I used to use flash years ago, and have only recently come back to it in my course in university so im very rusty.
What i am looking to do is in flash create two sliders where the user can slide along to their shoe size, and their weight, so that as they do that, the numbers in two other boxes will periodically change to help indicate what size snowboard they need to get.
eg. as user makes shoe size slider go along to larger sizes, at certain points the number in a box labelled board width will increase.
also as an added touch I would like a character to actually increase in size as the slider is used, I'd imagine for this I would need to have a movieclip of the character getting bigger and allow the slider to progress through the frames of this movieclip.
I am using Flash 8, and are building a game. It is an RPG-style game, and many people have been asking for a save game feature.I've been sifting through tons of tutorials and none work for me. I want to save a 'level' variable so that players can come back to it later on and pick up where they left off.[URL]
I am loading an array of movie clips and adding them to the stage with flash as3, but the problem is that the movie clips are added to the stage as soon as they finish loading, and not in order of there position in the array, so the order on screen appears messed up. How do I ensure that they are added to the stage in the same order that their references exist in the URL?
Here is my code: var currentLoaded:int = 0; function loadThumbs(){ for (var i in project_array){ var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader(); [Code].....
var dataArray:Array = [ 5, 6, 3, 8, 10, 11, 32, 2 ]; var dataObjectArray:Array [ { "uid": 5 }, { "uid": 6 .... Similar to above ... } ]; I have the above 2 arrays in AS3. and i wish to sort them numerically (1 ~ X) in order [Skipping those that does not exist]. What is the best and most efficient way to do so for dataArray / dataObjectArray.
I am looking for a tutorial on how to declare different attributes or capabilities for a Adobe Flash player. I have the following .html file:
[Code]...
How do tweet the parameter to get the video available with a fast forward that works, and a progress bar ( I do not know the correct name for this action) And in general where can I get instruction on how to program a Flash player in a .html file?
It's been 2 days and counting since I started to debug my code to make it work and It's eating up all my time and I don't think I'll hit my deadline If I don't start asking.
The gallery is working well, It can load the thumbnails smoothly without returning any error. However, the thumbnails doesn't load as expected, I think because the smallest file size gets to load first. So if thumbnail[3] is the smallest, it'll attach itself to thumbnail_container[0] which it should always be thumbnail[0] to thumbnail_container[0] and so on.
XFL is the new uncompressed ADOBE FLASH (CS5) source file, it consists from XML definitions, most of them are clear but unfortunately, the important one are strange. Looking to various existing sources, I can see shape's EDGE definitions like:
Is there any library or open source function that approximate the area under a line that is described by some of its values taken at irregular intervals?
how do I sort the list component by numerical values? At the moment, the sort sorts as follows 1 10 100 2 20 200 3 30 300...i want it to be 1 2 3 10 20 30 100 200 300...I am using the following code to accomplish this.[code].Is there a way I can reuse my listeners because basically the actions of the lists are the same...when you mouse over the elements I want the booths to highlight.when you click it zooms to a booth and highlights it something else...I am accomplishing this by duplicating the listeners [code]
I have a program that plays swf files in the UILoader. The program counts the number of customers that use the program by adding 1 to a variable called customerCount each time a button is pressed. I am trying to design one of the swf files so that it can access and diaplay the accumulated value of customerCount. Can someone help me to find the actionscript code that will let me display the value of customerCount in the swf file.
This ActionScript is creating reading an XML file, and laying out thumbnail images. I'm stuck though! Each thumbnail is given a value of thumbnail[x], going from 0-5. I wrote some mouse actions and need to access each thumbnail's number, not entire name (where I have it in red below).
