I have a preloader that is being served from a CDN, and I want it to load the target SWF also from the CDN but when it uses loaderInfo, it returns the hostname of the html file.[code]Is there some way that I can get the URL that the preloader was served from which is the CDN?
View 1 RepliesI have a custom component with a couple of text input fields (among other things) that is used as the row components in a tree. I have had to write my own drag and drop handling, and have almost finished the start handler (which I did last), using mouseDown as the event to kick if off.It basically works, but when the tree is expanded enough so that a scroll bar shows, using the scroll bar drags a row of the tree at the same time ! Not the desired behaviour.Looking in the debugger, I can see that when a row of the tree is dragged the currentTarget is the tree itself, and the target is the textInput component. Looking at the parents of that component I can see my custom component (that contains the textInput) a couple of levels up.My question is, is there an easy way to determine if this target is descended from my component, so that I can initiate a drag only if that is the case ? event.target is doesn't work by the way.
View 2 RepliesIt seems there are a lot of problems with sound control with flash, and i (now seeming studpidlY) decided to undertake a project where i can have multiple sounds at once, and turn them off (individually) at the click of a button.
see the code
Code:
function soundSelected(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
// Pushes the filename into a playlist array.;
[Code]....
Obviously there is more code but these are the two functions that deal with the playing of sounds, the adding of icons (that form a playlist of clips that are being played) and also to remove these icons.
Basically when i click a button, it play a song (depending on the .target.FileName which is declared elsewhere), it then adds a small icon to a navigation bar so the user can see easily which sounds are on (this is depending on the .target.IconNo which again is declared elsewhere). I then add an event listener to the small icon that is on the stage, that calls the removeIcon function.
At the moment it adds the small icon, then when i click the small icon, it removes it from the screen, how can i link it so that it stops playing the sound it refers too?
I have a script which works wonders! but need to add a preloader to it so that a text box will show the % remaining?...

I just am looking over the CS4/3D methods and am a little bit stumped at this: globalToLocal3D... I am just trying to determine parameters to dynamically resize the width of myMc (once it is pushed back in z dimension - say to 2000) - I am basically using the globalToLocal3D method - yet the compiler is throwing errors - Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid. here is the code that should be self explanatory (other than the fact that I am doing something wrong)...

I m new to actionscript 2.0 and flash cs3 (on which the team was working before). I have managed to learn basics (though not completely) of flash and AS2. Our project is about creating an e-learning tool that will enable the students to improve their english grammar skills through different lessons e.g noun, adjective verb etc.
i m trying to write a generic code that, after completion, should work for around 40 lessons in the entire tool. making 1 main.fla that should work for all lessons, seems interesting but a challenging job. i can not find any thread or blog that wud tell me CAN I COUNT THE NUMBER OF SCREENS IN MY LESSON AND THEN AT RUN TIME MY main.fla SHOULD HAVE THAT MANY FRAMES. i will try to explain this through an example: in noun.xml, i calculated 30 screens, so i need 30 frames for noun.xml....whereas if in adjective.xml, i have 50 screens, i should have 50 frames......therefore, i need to calculate the number of screens in my lesson, and then dynamically insert that many frams in my application, can i do that...

when the preloader load everything it goes to 10 frame, and all content will show, so it works very fine, but.but except the "TITLE.swf" and it will show up after while, because it was still downloading.I have found out in Flash in "Test Movie", when I test the preloader.How do I target the Title.swf into the preloader?, so it preloads together with main movie. It doesn't look good when everything shows up and the title after few seconds later.
The �� are embedded, the font has these glyphs in its set, it works locally; but when its served online it shows "?" instead of "�"
View 2 RepliesI'm just learning to load a swf into location/target and on my swf to be loaded in i made a preloader bar. It works in test but when it is loaded through the original swf file the bar doesnt move, though the swf loads ok. I've looked at this a lot but cant see what's up...so
View 4 RepliesThis is a (ir)regular confusion - sometimes i can't figure out why a html/swf with an embedded .flv will run locally but not over the web. The settings and other conditions seem similar to those i've dealt with in the past (and rectified), but i can't nail these down this time.All files on server have correct permissions in place and all file names/dependencies are lowercase.
View 1 RepliesI have a preloader using a mask, set to slowly reveal the target object from the bottom up as the movie loads. But there is something off with the code and I'm not a programmer.
View 8 RepliesI have a looped sound and some components in my main movie (scroll bar) which for some reason is really bogging down my swf and causing the preloader bar not to show up until like 46% or something ridiculous.So I am trying to solve the problem by having a preloader swf as suggested by Kode in this thread. However, now all my targeting is messed up in my main movie. Everything that was _root has to change but I can't tell what to load it into. I tried using _parent, _parent._parent, _root.container_mc (which is a blank movie clip created in the preloader swf that main is loaded into after the preloader is 100%) and others but nothing works. Even the simple looped sound which was originally just _root.backsound.start(0,999) can't be targeted.how to target things on my main stage based on the preloader swf?

View 2 RepliesMy swf is being served via http protocol. I don't really see this being easily changed. There's a resource that a website has opened up via their api that I need to access but it is using https protocol. Because of this my swf can't access the resource because of security settings.
Option 1 would be to serve my swf via https. I can't do this at the moment.
Option 2 would be set secure="false" property of the cross domain policy file. I can't do this, I dont have access.
So I have this code to create and load an external swf. I am trying to write a simple function to target the mc within the loaded swf. Once clicked I want it to load a new swf inside the same mc (container_mc). I'm having trouble even targeting that button though. Any thoughts?

I've worked out a way to get the proper instance name in stored in a variable (called listName), and I've got a SOUND_COMPLETE listener applied to my sound channel.

I'm having trouble adding a cuepoint listener to a dynamically loaded .flv which targets a dynamically loaded .swf. I'm also adding cuepoints via actionscript.
Basically everything loads okay but I get a compile error in the the function cuePointHandler when referencing mc_slideLoader.
Scene 1, Layer 'Actions', Frame 1, Line 601061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndPlay through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.
I'm still a rookie with AS3 so I'm thinking the Loader class doesn't have a gotoAndPlay property and some how I have to get it to act like a MovieClip?
Here's the actionscript.

I have a script that loads images and text from an XML file into movieclips.The following code is what creates the movieclips that contain the elements:

var img_mc:MovieClip = thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img", 0);
I can't seem to find a way to target the thumb_mc or the img_mc so they have rollover effects and actions (they are created for each set in the xml file, so there are multiple mc's)mc_conteudo is the content mc that scrolls.The swf is here: http:[url].....
I have been looking for a preloader such as the one at [URL]. The preloader there is just the effect I've been looking for for a long time. I know it's done with scripting, but I could never make it quite right. I even posted here a few times, and found a tutorial, but it used a drag bar to control it, not bytesLoaded. Any tutorials that you could lead me to that focus on making it a preloader

I have added a preloader to my website with a progress bar and percentage loaded number count using the following code;
Code: Select allstop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);
function loading(e:Event):void{

This however only determines the progress of what is stored within the main SWF file.Is there a way of doing the same thing for dynamically loaded data? I am importing SWF files into my main SWF website using this code;

my_loader.load(new URLRequest("FILENAME.swf"));
addChild(my_loader);
Before you get all worked up about seeing the same question again...let me tell you this.. I DID use the search function and I DID find some interesting things...but just not quite what I am looking for... As the Subject title suggests...I am looking for a preloader for dynamically loaded mp3s... As in the tutorial on kirupa I let the mp3s stream but still there is a little gap before they actually start playing-probably worse on smallband connections
