View 3 RepliesI'm using a scrollpane component. Within it I have textfields with html text links. All works OK, but I have to click a link twice in order for it to work - the first click seems to "focus" the scrollpane component and then every click afterwards works OK. What's weird is other mouseevents - i.e. rollover/rollout - are working OK without clicking.Is there anyway to force focus to the component so I don't have to click twice?
View 0 RepliesSuppose I have a component and want to change it's focus color at runtime. Here's an example for you (I've excluded any buttons and such to prevent component from losing it's focus, cause in that case it changes it's color perfectly):

What do I want: How to make this focus to be redrawn without magic (I've tried all the methods, starting with "validate", I've tried calling updateDisplayList() on entire application, I've tried to call styleChanged .
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.

View 3 RepliesI'm wondering if there is an effective way to insure a .swf file uploaded to "Website A" will refuse to run on any website outside of "Website A". I recall years back that AS2 could compare the .swf file's URL location to a URL String, something like:
ActionScript Code:
if (_root._url != "http://www.mywebsite.com/content.swf") {
//block access

I'm using a preloader on my website. The preloader works fine on Internet Explorer, however when I tested it in Mozilla and on a Mac (running Netscape) there is a lockup on the preloader. The screen will just sit there and the website doesn't load. Both were running Flash Player 6 which is the version I'm aiming for. I found that if I refreshed the page the site would begin to work, but I doubt visitors to my site would do this and I don't want it to be required to get my site to work.
Heres the action script - from the first frame of my launch movie
Code:
stop();
function loadSWF(theURL, theTarget) {
loadMovie(theURL, theTarget);
loaderInterval = setInterval(loadChecker, 50);
}
[code]....
As you can see I call the loadSWF function to load menu.swf into the holder1_mc movieclip. That function then sets an interval with the loadChecker function that acts as the preloader. This is where nothing happens on some browsers (yet it works fine in IE).
I've created a slider control (using the excellent tute on kirupa) and am using two instances of it on my stage. I also have a lock that sets the variable locked to true or false. What I want to do is if locked == true have both sliders move simultaneously to the same values if either one of them is dragged...

This is for a fretboard type game, I want six dots (fingers) to lock on to any of the 6 targets. This code doesn't seem to work, instead of locking on to each target, the fingers lock on to the last one (target6_mc) and whenever they are droped over the other targets, they just locks on to target6 again. any suggestions? Excuse the noobness

I'm doing a website for me, with flash... I want that the site is "full browser screen" but, I need that only the background is stretched for the size of the browser window, all the other elements (like nav bar, logo etc) will be in the same position, and MUST NOT be stretchet like the background...
How can I lock the position and dimension of the element of the website, but let the background stretch?
I would like to create geo locking module which would react per-file/stream. This means that one particular file which will be streamed via FMS can be geolocked to one country (e.g. Lost can be viewed only by USA viewers (IPs)).Flash video player connects with nc.connect() and plays file with ns.play() method. Geolocking would happend on ns.play() since some files/live streams are locked to some countries (not everything is geolocked and once they are, are not geolocked to same countries so everything happend on per file basis).
Can this module be done in Actionscript or is it necessary to use C++ module?
I have a flash gallery which works fine, the images for the gallery are determined by .xml files. Problem is when the image is not exactly the same size as the area defined in the .fla it defaults against the top and left, not the center of the space.
View 5 RepliesLike shared objects we have lock, but what If I want to implement lock on the particular script. For example at onConnect of any user to FMS,I have script which is doing 8-9 different tasks before or after accept the user for that FMS application session (including remoting calls).Now if 20 users came at the same time in the same room, how will FMS execute them and process the 8-9 task, which user will be executed first and who would be next.In short, how FMS will execute the piece of code or process for multiple user at the same timeSo locking system can fix this problem I think.
View 5 RepliesI created a swf animation in Flash.The size is 1024x768.When playing the SWF file, if I change the size of the window, it doesn't keep the artwork size.As result when increasing or decreading window size, it shows what it is outside the 1024x768 and I don't want.Ex. The footer line that goes from left border to right border is now foating in the middle, not touching the border anymore.Is there a way to freeze it. So when I increasing or decreading window size, I see the artwork size only?

i have my stage with StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE, i resize my movieclips with an eventllistener for the stage resize event and tweener. this works great, but if i have videos nested in my resized movieclip, they are looking so horrible choppy (becouse there is no smoothing property for them like you have it for bitmaps). so i wonna tell them to keep there size forever, even if the parent movieclip gets resized.
