I tried to change the publish settings back and forth, but using Flashplayer 8,9 or 10 and actionscript 2.0 or 3.0 doesn't make any difference.
I noticed that in Windows, if you maximize a window you can not resize it until you un-maximized it again. This appears to be a normal behaviour, so I would like to remove my resize gripper when the window is maximised.At the moment I can't find a property to detect if a window is maximized, and although I could add a boolean in my controller, it wouldn't necessarily catch requests to maximize from the OS.So if you know of a reliable way to test if a window is maximized please let me know.On a related note, I am using custom chrome, and when I maximize a window it overlaps the windows task bar. I can think of hacks to detect available screen size (using a transparent system chrome window), but it would be good to know of a better method.
View 7 RepliesI have used a code to produce random of images in a flash movie:
var ldr:Loader=new Loader();addChild(ldr);ldr.load(new URLRequest("ima00" + (Math.ceil(Math.random()*5)) + ".jpg"));
With that code, besides the random of images each time you acess the website (that is ok!), it keep changing the images while you still with the swf open. We would like to change it, making it to load a different image each time we get in the web site, but making the images to keep still, not changing while the film is open.
Whenever I am trying to open a swf file (any swf file) or test a movie from the flash ide the internal player is blank and output has the msg error opening url "the path of the swf file here".This is not a problem that has to do with loading external files etc. It just refuses to open any swf file and ofc or test any movie cause it keeps saying error in opening url even in blank movies.
The simplest thing New File -> AS3 -> Test Movie -> Error in opening url I can publish the movie with no problem at all and I can run all the swf files outside of flash ide. I can debug movie from flash ide. I can html preview it from flash ide but i can't just hit cmd+enter to test the fraking movie.
Is it possible to convert an image (runtime) in Actionscript 3.0 from black/white to black/*color* ...Does someone know a solution? Matrix? Blending methods maybe? Pixel bender?
View 1 RepliesI work with 3d animation. Im have a problem with a personal website Im doing, I have a link in a button inside a flash movie to open a new window and play a youtube movie:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('http://www.youtube.com/v/b0L4XLODhAA&hl=en&fs=1&','win','height=344,width=4 25,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');"; getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}
This works fine in Firefox but in IE it doesnt work, I then change the /v/ in the youtube link with /p.swf?video_id= and now I have the window open showing the small youtube thumbnail of my video but once a click play, nothing happens, I check it and is not loading anything.
I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.
View 0 RepliesI have a product by IMTOO.com that converts AVI files to SWF files. I used it, and I also specified that I wanted the final file to be small. The final file plays OK in flashplayer 10, but the control bar is all black. You don't see any controls on it such as 'play', 'pause' and 'maximize'.Now there is a menu you can get by right-clicking on the movie. That gives you 'play' and 'pause', but not maximize.My question is, why is this happening. Why can't I see controls on the control bar, and why can't I maximize at all, even with the right-click menu?

In Flash 5.0 i could create a file with ios-settings and test it on my pc by choosing Control/Test movie/Test or by using Ctrl + Enter. A new window opened. Now I have upgraded Flash to 5.5 and when I do the above nothing happens. In a tutorial I could see the teacher testing his ios-file on his mac so it seems like it should work.

What does this mean? I presume that it has something do do with the toplevel.as file and $(LocalDate)/Classes'. Where can these files be found and how to i correct this error message.
lets sy i have a movie with a black backgound with a white dot in the center. how do i make this dot invisible then visible again sort of flashing on and off using action script. i want it to be fast by the way.

View 4 Replieshow to set flashvars when running a movie in CS4 using Control->Test Movie? Under ActionScript 2 I could just set _root.flashVar, what's the equivalent in AS3?
View 4 RepliesWhile testing the movie within Flash,the Test Movie window randomly goes blank, showing the stage color. The movie is still running, there's no error, it's just blank. When I resize the Test Movie window,everything reappears... Until a few seconds later, when it snaps back to blank... so I resize, it reappears, it disappears, I resize, it reappears, it disappears... over and over.Resizing even just one pixel is enough to get it to come back. Sometimes it happens every few seconds.
This might be related to another issue: If I Test Movie with the Bandwidth Profiler on, Flash CS4 doesn't resize the window correctly to fit my entire movie in it, resulting in a big blank space underneath the Bandwidth Profiler, and that same amount of space being cutoff the bottom of my movie. I haven't seen anything like this in 10yrs of Flash development. This is a Mac Pro, 8-core. The graphics card is ATI Radeon HD XT 2600. 6GB RAM. 10.5.3-10.5.7
The same FLA works without any issues on CS4/XP. The FLA saved to CS3 works without any issues on CS3/OSX and CS3/XP (same machine).I have all but given up on CS4 for OSX. Between the crappy framerates, the crashing, and not being able to TEST MOVIE, I just avoid CS4 on OSX and use CS3 on OSX or CS4 on XP.

I want to know what the parent of my click button is. Reason is that I have two almost identical MCs, each with 5 buttons in them and they load different things, depending what the parent is.
Here is what I have:
function tickClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("tickClick " + e.currentTarget.name);
[Code].....
I can't get the ifStatement to trigger. What am I missing? case1FLVs is the instance name of he MC holding the buttons that trigger this function.
Flash CS4 frequently crashes after trying to test my movie. I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8. I have updated Flash CS4 as well. Here are the problem details in the crash report.
[Code]....
I have created a small flash project with 6 Scenes(two scenes contain flv clips 2 minutes each(1560 frames)). If I test each scene separately it runs perfectly, but when I try to run the whole movie it runs for 10 minutes "Exporting SWF Movie" and then stops without any errors or warning and without running project or creating swf file. I am using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5.
View 1 RepliesThen I test my movie from inside flash 9 (ctrl+enter) the MC I just edited keeps in focus: When I test a game and press UP DOWN etc. The MC inside my fla is moving too, while the compiled swf is playing!
View 0 RepliesI made a AS3 web site. Made my own classes and am using quite a lot of media in this site. At least 10 mp3s/page for 3 pages and one site with 20 short .flv videos. All data is being loaded with an external XML. I also use a lot of tweening from the TweenMax package. The final .swf is only 600 KB big.
When I export the site everything loads beautifully. But when I do like a lot of site changing - I counted that arround 30-35 page changes - make my flash player and Flash CS5 crash. It will crash also when I click through the pages slowly.
I am loading contents of a text file into a variable in my flash movie (this is a hybrid director/flash app - the director loads the contents of a text file into a variable in the flash movie). How would I test that variable to see if it is empty? I want to write a chunk of code so that if the variable has nothing in it, the movie jumps to a certain marker. Here is what I have so far:
Code:
if (variablename == "") {
gotoAndPlay ("marker2")
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("marker1")
}
Am I on the right track? The textfield that is the variable sits at the root level, and I am testing it from a movie clip, so should i make it _root.variablename?
Is there a way to test the _y of all movie clips and set a function that if there is a movie clip at _y = 75 that it is 'topMovie' and if another clip is at (topMovie + topMovie._height) THAT movie will be 'secondMovie' and so on ad infinitum?
View 2 RepliesI've come a long way with this sliding menu("Sliding menu.zip"). There's only one more thing that needs to be fixed. Can anyone tell me how to get the first movie clip button ("1") to be red when it arrives? When the user clicks on another button I want the red number one to turn black. It's sounds so simple but my mind is blank.
View 2 RepliesACTUALLY i just thought of another one so now i have two. sorry. hope you don't mind. i get sidetracked rather easily. before i start, a quick nota bene. i'm a complete newcomer to flash so my questions are very simpleminded. not much of a challenge i'm afraid.
1. can i put a link in my movie that will close the window?
2. can i put a link in my movie that will open a new window of a specific size, and without the menu-buttons of explorer?
When I test the following code inside of Flash, everything works well. When I publish the movie, and see it, I find that one of the functions doesn't work the way it worked (highlighted in the code)....
The code:

import gs.easing.*;

how do you do socket connection to port 8000?

public function onKeyPress( keyboardEvent:KeyboardEvent ):void {
if (keyboardEvent.keyCode == Keyboard.A) {
//DO MY STUFF NAO
}}
Error:

When I put Keyboard.RIGHT or Keyboard.SHIFT etc. It works fine. I tried it with keyboard.Event.keyCode == 97 and such and it still didn't work.
I'm working on a rather simple game and learning AS3 as I go along. I've come a pretty long way so far but now after adding some lines of code and changing a few - when testing my movie, Flash player starts and almost immediately crashes. I've went over the code I wrote, but all seems fine. Yet, being a complete newbie at AS3 and programming in general, it is very possible I'm missing the culprit.

I have a movie clip that has nested inside of it a Sprite that contains a graphic that was loaded up at runtime via Loader object. The graphic is a png image that contains parts of it as transparent.
