Professional :: Test To See If Inputted Swf Exists?
Apr 6, 2010
I have an input field that asks for a .swf name - you enter the name, hit SUBMIT, and Flash loads that .swf onto the screen.I've coded for an error to appear if the user doesn't input anything, but how to I test to see if the swf exists, and if not, return an error?I have a function called onSwfLoad that runs when the swf loader finishes, triggered by anEvent.COMPLETE in the swf loader event listener - is there something I can put in an if statement there to test if the swf loader found a file?
i am having a problem restricting an input text im not sure if this has to be done in two ways or can be solved in one. what i want to do is only allow letters to be inputed which have not been inputted before and the empty box to be imputted i have tried
imput_txt.restrict = "a-z^Letters_str";
but this seems to only let me enter the letters except for LETRST ive tried putting the string outside the qutation marks and other variations i have also tried it with /'s around and before the string.
I know you can use IO_ERROR when trying to catch images or swf's that don't exist ..but what about zip's? Would you try to load each zip and then somehow cancel it after a couple bits have been loaded? I don't know if that's even possible.Is this something that has to be done with a server side language?
This is something I would think would be easy, but here's my dilemma: I am trying to see if a textfield exists on the stage and if it does, I want to remove it. I am trying to do it using the code below, but if the textfield doesn't exist I get an error because I'm tring to remove something that isn't there.
if (stage.contains(cctextBox)) { removeChild(cctextBox); }
I am developing an application that needs to test if a stream exists, the logic is as follows:
Open a page and my SWF is passed a variable, this will be the stream nameNow I want to test if that stream name is publishingIf it is, my SWF will open that stream and play itIf it is not, it will play a pre-recorded media file What is the syntax of this check and does it require some server side coding?
I have a stage listener for keyboard events, that triggers one of two error checking functions for text field inputs depending on which movieclip the fields are in. Text fields in certain movieclips trigger a function that checks if the entry is between a certain numerical range, whereas the textfields in the other movieclips test to make sure the text fields aren't left empty.
It works fine apart from me not accounting for keyboard events other than letters, numbers and punctuation, or, among others, the Shift key.
So what's happening now is that keyboard events outside of numbers, letters and punctuation are triggering an output error.
My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
and a submit buttonI would like to be able to add up all the numbers inputted into the first three dynamic fields by the end user and the result displayed on the 'answer" field.
I have been instructed to develop a banner that has a text field for a user to input a zip code and when they click locate, a URL is opened with a static url.com address + the zip code they entered.
For example [URL]
When user inputs the zip code 92912, a getURL is opened with the website located [URL]
what actionscript I have to use to add the input text to the end of the URL, or how this can be done?

I have created a form which sends the inputted values as an email. The file takes a name, delivery address etc and also should allow a quantity to be input. There is also an option where a different delivery address can be specified like so:The code looks okay, with no compiling errors, but the 'user input quantity' does not work and when changing different address,
how to test my preloader in CS5. When I look under Control - Test Movie, it doesn't have an option for Simulate Download, and when I just do a regular test, I see nothing.
I am trying to compare a user inputted string to a variable already created. When I do this with int it works fine but when I try changing it to strings I can't get it to work.
I'm creating a learning activity for one of our biology classes. The basis of the activity is to test students ability to transcribe and translate DNA into other sequences.I have a dynamic text field where the student would type in a 36 character sequence.
I already know that I can use an if statement to see if all 36 characters are correct. I was wondering if there was a way to individually check each letter the student typed in is the correct one for that line. So if UUAACCGG is the correct answer, I want flash to check and see if the third character is indeed A or not.I know I can do this with 36 individual text boxes, but I was kind of hoping to get away with just one big text box.
I'm working with Flash CS4. When I test a scene, all work just fine, but when I try to test movie, or export the swf file the process stops suddenly and nothing happens.
In my fla file I have 7 scenes and the file size is about 193mb.
When i click Test Movie no compiler errors,But when my scene finishes, On the bit where all my actionscript is..And output tab pops up with this error:TypeError: Error #1009:Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at JoeTorranC_fla::MainTimeline/frame160()I have 3 Layers,Layer 1 has the actionscript code and some text,Layer 2 has a button and a motion tween,Layer 3 has a button and a motion tween,The actionscript code in Layer 1 is this:stop();
tutorials.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myBtnHandler1); function myBtnHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay("Scene 59");
I am creating a 4 frame application demo which stops on the first frame and lets the user navigate to other frames using buttons. I've done something very similar before and didn't have this problem. Now with this new project I've created the pages in photoshop and imported them onto the stage. The dimensions are 1024/768 px. When I go to Control -> Test Movie -> In Flash professional. The window pops up very small , but the page looks nomal size so i get the top left portion of the design. Then when i expand the window, instead of seeing the rest of the design the desing floats to the bottom right as I pull the window open leaving all this white space around the top and left margins.
I'm running Flash CS5 on a Mac (yes I've got Adobe running). However, when I press Cmd and Rtn I get the followng error message: "Error opening URL [URL] how I can run movies in Flash?
i made an scrolling image sequence,that is controlled with moving left-right mouse or finger there are 120 images and its wheight is 36 Mb.it runs great on desctop as SWF .BUT when published to .ipa and lounched on iPad 2 - black sreen for aboute 5 sec. and throws back to "home".what does that mean?
When I go to test my movie in Flash Pro (control>test movie) nothing happens except a window thats just white.why this may be happening? I just battled some sot of memory problem which is mysteriously resolved ( i didn't do anything). Another funny thing being when flash pro is set to flash player 9 action script 2.0 all is fine...anything else it makes my whole project dissapear from the stage? Getting pretty sick of these funky things happening randomly.
I'm trying to do a check to see if the user inputed a number into an input text field. I'm also running a check to see if the user has left the input blank (which works just fine), but I can seem to get the NaN function working.
(using actionscript 2.0 w/ flash CS3)

I created a graphic on one layer in my timeline in FLASH CS4 and then added a new layer above it with text to create a zoom out effect. When I click Control>Play the movie plays fine with the text zooming out as it is supposed to but when I click Control>Test Movie the movie shows white with the text constantly visible and the graphic flickering on (visible) and off (not visible) so fast that it's barely visible.
I've made a file in photoshop with layer. I brought it into flash. I created the movie and it plays but when I want to use the "test movie" feat. it does nothing. The graphics come up but no movement. I exported it as an .swf file but still no luck.
Playing with first Flash website (cs4, as2) Made a series of buttons that successfully open several "pages" (frames)Problem is these buttons toggle; that is they will open the right page, but when hit again will open another page.[code]
I am trying to write a simple program, just to practice, that will use touch events for an iPad. I don't have a developer account and so am testing the app on my computer. However, it does nothing. Clicking the mouse on the movie clip does nothing. I even copy and pasted someone else's code so that I was sure it wasn't because I got my syntax wrong. Nothing. Is there a way to test touch events on a computer, or do I have to compile the app and send it to an iPad everytime I want to test the app? Is there no AIR simulator that will simulate touch events using a mouse, as there is with XCode?
I have been working on my final project for class all week. Suddenly tonight once I have finally worked through so many bugs in transfering things into the thing, I can't get the "Test Movie" option to work to view anything. I even tried to view just the scene. It keeps making these flashes and then basically stays where it's at
