Stop Movie From Restarting When Player Receives Focus?
Sep 15, 2009
I've created several buttons and each contains a movie clip. I then placed each button on the main scene. Everything works well except the movie restarts every time the button over event is fired. I added a mouse over listener to each button so I can reposition the button. However, the movie restarts even if I don't reposition the button. (i.e. Button 1 is active and the mouse leaves the player and returns to Button 1.) How do I keep the movie that is embedded in the button from restarting?

I have a simple FLA which loops through some keyframes and randomly places movie clips on the stage.
Frame 1:
Contains nothing
Frame 2:
Code:
_root.tile.duplicateMovieClip("tile"+i,i+1)
_root["tile"+i]._x=Math.random()*800;
_root["tile"+i]._y=Math.random()*600;
[code]....
On Frame 4, I add a button which I'd like to use to restart the whole thing.
The button has this AS on it:
Code:
on (release) {
i=0;
var ref = null;
[code]....

I have a movie clip that generates random numbers until the numbers I specify come up. The movie clip takes a random amount of time to cycle through. It only plays once.
Basically, I want the main timeline of the movie to pause until the movie clip finishes, then continue on (to a new scene, or current scene if this is easier).
I got the main timeline to stop and wait for the MC to play, however, when I add the _root.play() to the end of the MC script, it plays the main timeline right away, over the main timeline, rather than waiting for itself to finish.

Sounds strange, but let me explain. What the user sees: Loading the page, color swatches fade in and slide over into place, row by row. Once in place, user can drag and drop swatches around, place side-by-side, etc. The script necessary to attach to a button so that all swatches can be reset back into place where they were, and not generate a replay of the initial movie clip from the beginning. (a goto and play is not what I'm looking for) Here's my code so far:

I have a website which im designing exclusively in flash. The project size is 1000x500. The video which im using is 320x150. On the stage ive set the player to 320x150. The stage size is 1000x500 (thats the size and span of the website). When the page works from the internet. It expands to fill the screen of the viewing computer. Which is what i want anyway since Ive set my publish settings to get this. But the video player gets scaled along with the page that scales to occupy the viewing screen. So when the player becomes a little larger than its orginal size the video looks low quality. Is there a way that the player alone could be set to maintain its orginal size of 320x150 and not scale because this is causing the video to get distorted and pixellated ?

I need to be able to make the flash player lose focus to the browser by actionscript alone (when the user clicks a button) or whatever, but from within the flash player, not from the user actually clicking outside of the flash player.These are embedded flash files with allowScriptAccess="never", so I can not use ExternalInterface at all to call browser js to window.focus or whatever.

I have a very simple player which connects to a shoutcast stream. All it has is a play/stop button, and a volume control, which control a mp3 Playback Component.However, everytime I click anything within the flash movie, a little focus border appears around my flash movie. You know how when you press tab on the keyboard to switch between different elements in a program, such as different buttons, and that little dotted border appears on the button you are on? Well, that happens to me, and I am not sure why or how to get rid of it.

I'm having a Panel container with buttons and other controls in it. When the mouse moves over one of the container's children (e.g. a button), the Panel receives a MouseOut event where the target and currentTarget properties reference the Panel itself. That causes me problems. I only want the Panel MouseOut event when I leave the panel, not when I enter a child of the panel. Are there any way to turn that off?See example:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

Im attempting to make a preloader. I am very new to action script so this is what i have.
Code:
ifFrameLoaded ( "UC" ) {
gotoAndPlay ( "home" );
}
as simple as it gets, right? Wrong, the preloader works however is get this error 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.

this liveDoc covers getting a url variable into flash:http:/[url]....you can pass data to a flash movie by doing the following:[url]....this will create a variable: _level0. variablename with the data: thisisthedata.so far so good.you can then embed this in the published html doc by including your data string in the object/embed tags.like so:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=8,0,0,0"[code].....
not to bad, so now your html is loading the swf with the url variable. the problem is this data is hard coded into the html.now for the question. how do i get the html to pass the url variable it receives onto the flash?

I have a project that sends queries to a database and receives XML formatted data:
Markets_xml = new XML();
Markets_xml.onLoad = readMarketsXML;
Markets_xml.load("
http://208.62.199.74/ws_ckp_data/Service.asmx/GetMarkets?MarketName=Al l&MarketTypes=Industrial");
Markets_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
This works fine when I test the movie from Flash (on my local machine) and if I type the query string directly into my browser, I get the correctly formatted information. The problem arises when I post the swf to my server and test. From my server, I get nothing The swf files and the data are on different servers. Is this the problem? What is a good quick solution.

I have an HTML document with a Flash object and an absolutely positioned HTML element above it. If I set the HTML element's opacity CSS property to any value less than 1, the Flash object (that is actually covered) receives mouse events. This problem cannot be reproduced with pure HTML elements. Furthermore, Flash only receives hover events, so I cannot click below the layer.I put a demonstration of the problem online.I get this behavior in Firefox 3.6, Safari 4.0 and Chrome 5.0 in both Mac and Windows. Flash plugin version 10 is installed.Is it a bug or the the normal and expected behavior? If the latter, then how can I prevent Flash receiving events when it is covered with a translucent layer?

I'm trying to create an application that receives variables passed through FlashVars and makes use of the new TLFTextField. I have run into an issue with accessing the FlashVars after declaring a TLFTextField variable.
The code I have is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
[code]....
The HTML file is passing a FlashVars value of "title=ThisIsTheTitle" If I run the code, the tf TextField is empty. If I comment out the last line that creates the TLFTextField, the FlashVars come through fine and the tf TextField displays the "title" variable that was passed through FlashVars.If I change the last line to read:
ActionScript Code:
var titleTLF:TextField = new TextField();
It works fine (the "title" variable from FlashVars is show in the tf TextField). I don't understand why delcaring a TLFTextField prevents the FlashVars from being accessed.

I have background elements that slide left and right on the stage depending on where the mouse is on stage. If I take focus off the browser, like if I decide to check my email or open another tab in Firefox, when returning to my flash movie, all the elements have moved off the stage, and when focus is put on the stage, will slide back to the correct position.
I'm using an event listener on the stage to detect mouse movement...
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, parallax);
The function is below is trimmed down example of the function I use...
ActionScript Code:
function parallax(event:MouseEvent) :void {
distFromCenter = (stage.stageWidth / 2) - mouseX;
