View 6 RepliesI'm creating a website, on the stage I've got a menu and a movieclip which I use to show my pages, the movieclip's name is pagecontainer_mc.Each page is an exported class for AS3.When I click on a button on the menu, with removeChildAt() and addChild() I remove the current page and show the requested one.Everything ok with this.The problem comes when I need to call a page not from the menu, but from a button inside another page.I've tried writing this code on the main timeline:
var contacts:contatti = new contatti;
pagecontainer_mc.contacts_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,showCo ntacts);
function showContacts(e:MouseEvent):void { pagecontainer_mc.removeChildAt(1); pagecontainer_mc.addChild(contacts); }
[code]....
If I put the code inside the page's timeline I can't access to pagecontainer_mc (or at least I'm not able to do that).
I've set up a shared object using user_so.data.flashVar = value.This works fine, but as it is being used to store details for saved games, users could easily edit their saved games to cheat their way through the game. Is there any way to check if a shared object has been altered outside of Flash, or are there any other methods of saving files in AS2 that I'm unaware of?

Im trying to use the added eventlistener. When a child is loaded i then wish to trigger to a function. But the function seems to be triggering before the graphic is load. I am using this for some press loader functionality before a database is queried. My code looks like this....
loadingicon = new loadIcon();gridCradle.addEventListener(Event.ADDED, loadiconAdded);gridCradle.addChild(loadingicon); public function loadiconAdded(e:Event) { if (e.target == loadingicon) { troot.debugger.htmlText+="icon loaded" gridCradle.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED, loadiconAdded); inizRequestOfData(); } }
The above if statement works. But inizRequestOfData() seems to be trigged before the loading of anygraphic is done.
I would like to create my page links so when I roll over the text(link) enlarges and then once pressed a swf animation plays.When it stops it automatically directs to the desired page.
View 5 RepliesI have a site where all the pages have a common SWF embedded at the top (Nav and banner), but the rest of the page is HTML.Everything is working fine, but I'm finding the 'independence' between the HTML and Flash is making for some sloppy transitions from page to page.I was expecting the SWF to be delayed, at least for the first page visit(and I have a preload routine inside the swf to make it's delay and appearance a bit more visually pleasant), but was surprised to sometimes find the SWF appearing and playing while the HTML content was delayed (resulting in a SWF floating in black).What I'm wondering is if there's a way I can do some sort of preload on my index page.BUT, not the standard one that I'm sure everyone would suggest (like the javascript image 'preload', or the newer 'css visibility' preload trick). The problem with the standard one is that it doesn't check to see if everything is loaded.What I'm after is a routine on my index page that invisibly loads some of the elements from my inner pages (common swf, maybe some of the images) and WAITS until it's done before moving to the inner pages (displaying the company logo and/or a load status in the meantime).Many people would suggest a preloader inside the common SWF on my inner pages (which I have), but the problem with that on its own is that it doesn't stop the HTML from displaying.
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a preloader (like those in a SWF, which loops until everything is loaded) that controls both the SWF AND the HTML.Recently, I found that you can use one swf to preload another, which would be a potential solution, as I could make an SWF on the index page whose sole purpose is to load (invisibly) the common SWF, displaying the load status and then loading an inner html page once it's done.Problem is, I have bee having trouble finding the coding for that, as most searches for preloaders end up being about standard preloaders, where it's monitoring the same SWF that the code is on, as opposed to controlling a second, external SWF.Can someone point me to or provide me with the proper coding/procedure for a preloader that controlls a second external swf or give me a better solution?
one?
I have a project for a site that sells fishing lures.I want to have an animated index page before moving on to the home page. My idea is to have a boat sitting on a pond fishing lines in the water, when a fish jumps out of the water, the water ripples, the next time you see the fish it's got a hook in it mouth and jumping out of the water.how do I go about it? How to I create the water rippling? I think with the fish I can do easily enough with it jumping on and off stage. Would I do the water with shape tweens?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a looping SWF file that I uploaded on my website. It played perfectly until I decided to add a preloader.
I set up the Flash file with 2 Scenes, "Preloader" and "Scene 1" .The Preloader scene will play just fine. After the preloader plays, Scene 1 then begins to play as it should. However, once the animation ends, instead of looping like it did before, it just stops on the first frame.
How can I get my SWF to play the Preloader, and then continue looping the main animation (Scene 1)?

I've been working on a project that's about 500k for the .fla, and 36k for the .swf
On my latest export and save, the .fla is coming up 25k, and the the .swf is 120k - 120k is wayyyy too big for what I'm doing. The fla seems to be all intact even though it's only 5% of what it used to be.
I haven't changed any of the publishing settings.
I tried loading an older version of the project (from a month ago). When I export that version, the swf also comes out at about 120k instead of 36.
I'm using CS5, and have only had it a few days (was using CS4) - is there some new function that could affect the file sizes so drastically? It's strange, as it was exporting fine until about an hour ago.

This deals with the (diverse) flash viewers that let you zoom in on images on websites. I trying to extract the large, zoomed-in image rendered by the viewer. In many cases the images seem to be dynamically called by the viewer, or are created only for the part of the image you are zooming on at that point. Ideally, the approach here would be a programmatic one that could be called on an identified flash element. Expect there is nothing universal, but interested in the top few approaches that will grab most cases.
View 2 RepliesI'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

View 4 RepliesI've created a swf for a component live preview. The live preview appears to work ok when creating a new component, and setting the live preview in the component definition panel.
When I update an existing component definition (in a separate component library FLA) the live preview does not work.
