today I'm trying to get the URL where my Flash movie is sitting on.
I found a similar question here, which was answered with a link to Flash's LoaderInfo method, but I'm not sure I'm using it correctly as the textField in my test movie here: [URL] does not display the URL
Updated! WORKING CODE
All I needed was this: stage.loaderInfo.url :)
package {
import flash.display.Stage;
[Code]....
The company I work for has their own Flash based video player and the question I get from our execs is "Can we tell what website our player is embedded on?"At first, I hypothesized I could use Apache mod_rewrite, extract the HTTP_REFFER, and append it to the end of the requested URL. So as the browser gets http://.../viewer.swf, I could slap on ?However, I don't think our CDN will cater to our htaccess file. Plus, mostly all the access_log entries show a dash rather than the domain.So I'm casting this question our here to see if I catch any ideas or solutions. Currently, everything points to 'not possible'.

I have the class files but would like to know of any quick workaround to make the embedded Flash movie clickable without reworking the AS3 files. What I would like to do is if you click on a thmbnail or anywhere in the movie, the "portfolio" page loads. I asume this would use javascript?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a URL that I need my Flash movie to extract variables from:
example link: [URL].. I need to get the aID and the bID numbers.
I'm able to get the full URL into a String via ExternalInterface
var url:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString"); if (url) testField.text = url;
Just unsure as how to manipulate the String to just get the 1234 and 5678 numbers.
I want to get the name of a function from inside that function. e.g.:
function blah() {
I want to get the string "blah" here, from the function's name
}
Or at least the Function object?

I am trying to embedded an flv into a flash movie timeline that runs at 12fps.My source avi is 60 seconds in duration. However using cs3 video encoder with the frame rate set to 12 fps results in an flv that uses up 1440 frames of my timeline.In fact any frame rate selected always results in an flv of this frame length? Assuming that I need the flv to be 720 frames total (60 seconds * 12 frames), and not twice that duration as that would still have to be played at 24 fps. I undertand that there is a relationship to the original fps the movie was shot in (in this case 24fps) but will/does the encoder not produce an flv with the frame rate altered to match my timeline fps? or do you basically have to use a camera that shoots the original avi at 12fpsto get it to play in 12 fps timeline??
View 4 RepliesI have an embedded flash movie that runs an AS function that runs a javascript function on the html page when you push a button. However, it only works in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Is there a workaround for IE 6 & 7?
My javascript is:
Code:
Select all<script>
navArray = new Array();
navArray["home"] = "../index.aspx";
navArray["about"] = "../about.aspx";
navArray["contact"] = "../contact.aspx";
[Code] .....
My actionscript is:
Code: Select allimport flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function homeLink(e:MouseEvent){
ExternalInterface.call('navigate', 'home');
ExternalInterface.call('window.close()');
}
In the advanced search page you can specify 'near' a specific location and this 'near' parameter shows up clearly in the query string.However, Twitter does not support the use of 'near' in the public search api.Apparently you need to supply a geocode value.Can anyone suggest the best way for obtaining a geocode in Flash?

I am using an embedded flash movie in my web page. I would like to show some alerts on the page when the movie has played for x seconds, pause the movie while the user views and dismisses the alert and start playing the movie again after that (or the user can press the play button, not important). The important parts being - the app being able to find out if x secs worth of movie has played, pausing the movie then and showing an alert. Is this possible using a php/javascript code within the web page? Or will I have to do this within the flash movie itself?

I'm using UILoader to load SWF files which I have no source for. These SWF files were created in AS2. They use masks. Width and height return unmasked values.
I'm trying to find the visible width and height of the clip so I can scale it properly.
For example I want a SWF to fit within a 50x50 space. The visible SWF is 65x65 (but I don't know this) and the unmasked size is 100x100. If I set the width and height of the loaded movieclip to 50x50, Flash scales the clip based on the unmasked portion, and I get a clip scaled much too small. Keep in mind I have no control of the SWF content, so I can not override width/height, or get mask size.
so I have a JSON link that contains a couple of nodes (not sure what you call them in JSON) that I need to put into arrays in ActionScript, but I'm still having trouble trying to trace out all the specific node content.I found a similar question here, but the fix just showed how to trace out the entire JSON file (which shows up in my output window as [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],...)first node: {"captions":[{"content":"[hello world] ","startTime":0,"duration":4000}
My code:
private function onCaptionsComplete( event:Event ):void
{
//var jsonObj:Object = JSON.decode(event.target.data);[code].....
captions: undefined
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.What I would like to be able to do is put the content data into the captionsContent Array, and the startingTime into a startingTime Array, same with the duration data.

Is there a way to set focus to the embed HTML element using JavaScript? Test case: embedded YouTube videos on a page.
I have no control over the embedded Flash element. So, is there a way to set focus on it by using only JavaScript?
I read somewhere that calling the element.focus() method works only in IE. I need a browser-independent way that works in Chrome/Firefox.
