I hope you guys dont mind someone coming in looking for advice from the off. Im getting a weird problem. Im using a webcam to achieve a CCTV style effect in a college project being exhibited in a couple of days. at the point that the camera feed is supposed to fill the screen im getting this:
My basic aim is to create a newspaper that consists of four pages. Each page i have created and are sitting in the library as sprites. Each page has buttons that need linking so that when pressed it loads the next page or page that i want. This is the part i am confused with =/ how do i make the buttons on each page load the next page (sprite) from the library??
I have a an unobtrusive flash video looping in the background of a website, it is not essential to navigation - it is purely cosmetic.The flash video loops every 30 seconds.As this video is on all pages, it jumps back to the start when a new page is loaded.Is there an actionscript / javascript way to get it to remember the position it got to on the old page so it can start there on the new page?I do know that this can be accomplished by loading the flash movie in a frame as well as by having the subsequent pages load the contents in AJAX but I was hoping not to go down this route.I have seen other people ask the question and allude to the solution but they only posted that they got it to work without saying how.
I am trying to load an external swf with a number of quotes into an empty movie clip on the home page. then I want it to obviously disappear when nav to any other page.
1) know that you need a loaderEmpty_mc to load the swf into
2) don't know code for how to get it to load on entering the home page
3) don't know how to cdde for leaving the home page and making it disappear
Im working on a website for school, and im doing it through flash. The server ive been given is being taken up by thousands of pages, so its slow. Instead of loading each page through HTML, ive decided i could do a seperate frame for each page. However, to reach the menu at the bottom, you have to scroll down. Is there any way to make it so that when you click a button to load a different page for the flash player to scroll up all the way to the top of the page itself?
i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void { this.gotoAndPlay(30);} function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
i have some preloader frustrations..dont point me to a previous preloader thread...i have been there already and no im not talking about any preloader that loads the WHOLE movie at the beginning, i know how those work... I need a tutorial/explanation that will teach me how to load a move 'button by button' or 'page by page'.
By this I mean, the first thing the movie will do is load the first 'page' and say you have a few more buttons on that 'page'. It loads all the buttons and that 'page' first..nothing else...then i click one of the buttons (no matter what order) and the 'page' switches to a preloader and then when the second 'page' is loaded, it is displayed.So many sites have this kind of preloader...but i cant believe how many tutorial sites only teach how to program the type of preloader that just loads the WHOLE movie.
I have problem. My website works fine when it is in server and Iam opening it via IP or typing localhost/, but when iam opening index.html file it shows that active X is blocked, but when I enable it, web page wont load futher then 0% preloader, why is that?
I would like to embed this flash file within an HTML Page. User finds my page on a google search. The domain is **here.com once the user clicks on the link, it tries to load the "gethere" page but immediately forwards them to another site. I found this code but I am unsure of how to use it.URl..
Is the a script out there that can load a web page only time when the button is click. I don't want the page to reload when the button is continuosly clicked. if the page is already open and they click on the same button, i don't want the page to reload since it is already open.
If I wanted my flash web page to show a different picture on the bottom layer with graphics on layers above each time it is opened, would I be better off using xml or some kind of onLoad function?
I have a flash movie that loads another movie into a place holder container upon opening. So, 2 swf files - one is the main movie and the other the one that loads into the main movie. Works just fine when testing in flash or clicking on the swf files outside of flash. But when I embedd the main movie into my html page - the main movie loads ok, but it doesn't load the child movie. I have both swf files in the directory so I am not getting why it works fine except when placing into html page.
my swf will only load once in internet explorer.. When you navigate out of that page and come back to it it won't play automatically anymore...I'm using FLASH CS4 and use the google swf code 2.2...here's the pageit used to be so easy just inserting it in Dreamweaver =/ but that wouldn't work either
I have 20 different flash files that i need to play randomly when a user enters a zip code. I am done with the project, but the way I have done it is I think could have been done a lot better. I have 20 different aspx files that have the flash object. I redirect users to different aspx files based on the random number using Random class. Is there a way to just have one aspx file where the param value and data could be passed using a variable. That way, its easier to maintain and i don't have to go to 20 different aspx files to update anything. Here is what the flash object looks like.
has anyone had any experience with the pageflip version 2.25? Im using the pageflip with pages from the library - I want to be able to load text from an XMl doc into each page. The pages build fine and I can sort of see in the code where to target each page to put text into its textfield as soon as you interact with the mouse corner the text dissapears, almost as if the page Mc is reloading.
I've got a problem. Function newPage loads Pages. I can click on each of buttons and Pages are loading into stage.But if i click on button second time, Page is not loading into the stage.
I have (say) 3 photos on my homepage and what I would like to happen is, every time I access the site I would like the photo to be different. What I'm thinking is there must be some way that one can randomly select a photo (perhaps using tweenmax?)
I modified Kirupa's Changing Colors using Actionscript and now I am trying to load the swf into my FlashMX page .When I use LoadMovie the color changes won't work.When I use LoadMovieNum into 1 the color changes work but I can't dicate x and y positions and the changing colors swf pops up for every button pushed (because I sent it to level 1).I have tried thisX = _x and thisY = _y and then when I use the other four buttons, those swf are misalligned.
i was looking at some sites and you know how the page layout load one by one, just like at [URL] after you click enter. well how'd u do that apart from using tweeens? they seem a bit messy, i guess, so i wnat to learn the action script way.
why a site wouldn't load on first pull up? I have to press refresh to get it to pull up the content. All the content is dynamic pulling from a SOAP server.. Any clue why it wouldn't load? I don't think its a prob. with the content or the server. I used to have a random background script in there. But now we aren't using a random back ground.
I have a loading bar in the first frame of my flashfile, but when I test it on the server, it shows always loading only 45% and then goes to the content page. I wonder how to make it so that it can load 100% and then goes to the content page?[code]...
I am working on a simple navigation right now, and I'm getting a strange behavior from it. The first time the page loads, everything works fine, the rollovers work and everything. But then, if I click one of the nav buttons to go to an inside page, and then go back either by using the Back button on the browser or clicking "Home" in the inside nav, the Flash nav on the home page freezes after a couple of seconds.
