I have a web based slide show that reads an xml file and loads images from a folder on the server. The client would now like to also offer this slideshow on a cd. I'm pretty sure that I can save all the assets to on the cd and the slideshow will work. But the client is concerned that someone with the cd will be able to directly access the images on the cd. So, here's my non-flash flash question, can the folder storing the images on the cd be hidden yet still be read by the flash movie?
View 1 RepliesSuppose you have a slideshow movie that loads content such as images or Flash movies itself and continually replaces content with new images or movies as a viewer browses through content. Is there a way to store images or movies that have been loaded so that if the same content is selected they do not have to downloaded again? Presumably once content has been unloaded or something has ben loaded into the same level the data is wiped from memory and has to be downloaded if it is displayed again. How could content be stored in Flash or does the content stored in the browser cache take care of this?

How do I stop a Flash SWF movie when the playhead is at the end and then have the new window that presents the movie close automatically. However, the most important feature would be to stop the movie to keep it from continuously looping.
View 2 RepliesI am building a page with multiple clips. I have created script to open each of the clips. I have placed a button on one of the clips with the flollowing script
close_coltxt_btn.onRelease= function(){
gotoAndPlay("1");
}
stop();
this executes the action correctly however it "1" being scene 1 already has the clip open so aftre it closes the clip it reopens the clip. I have a demo build at [URL] go to belmacil products/eyelash and brow tints the page mas multiple buttons down the right side. I have only applied this script to the "1 Black" movie clip.
Is there a way to detect that uses has closed a browser window movie is located in from the flash itself (not from javascript)
View 1 RepliesI have built a movie clip on my main flash file that I am loading separate swfs into. On the separate swfs I have a close button, but do not know what action script to attach to it to make the movie clip go away? I want these to go away every time you hit the close button on the separate Flash swfs loading into the main movie clip.
View 1 RepliesI created a website with 4 movie clips; home (at Frame 10), (gallery at Frame 20), about (at Frame 30), contact (at Frame 40). I have a short opening and closing animation that I want to play when you click between the movie clips.
I can easily put the opening animation in a frame before each movie clip, but I'm having trouble with the closing animation. I guess I can create 3 separate closing movies on each movie clip but that is tedious. Is there a code that will allow a closing animation to play then direct you to the movie clip that you chose? -no matter which movie you are on and clicing to.
I'm guessing this is some kind of function that will be attached to my 4 button instances.Currently I have simple gotoAndPlay code to control the navigation, like this code to go from home to the gallery at Frame20:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
butn_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(20);
}

On my website I have a media page that opens different videos that are linked to you tube. I use an empty movie clip to load the movie onto the swf. My question is what code do I need to add to unload the video i added to empty movie clip and add another.

I have three movie clips overlaying each other, each movie has a colour which changes depending upon the users colour selection.
When the user adds their item to the cart i need to store a picture of what they have produced, which they can view when they click on the cart item.
I want to store their locations as a variable, then just call that variable in a Tween. I read somewhere that it has to be an Array. However, I don't know how to call it without getting commas in between instead of dots.
ActionScript Code:
var boxContents:Array;
boxContents = new Array("content_mc","home_mc","homebox_mc","homeText_mc");
removeContent = new Tween(boxContents,"alpha",Regular.easeIn,1,0,1,true);
I need to take a snapshot of a movie clip (only a rectangular of a movie clip, not the whole) and to store it in a variable so I can later show it to the user.

I am currently trying to work out how to get Flash to close the browser window it is running in. I've done a simple Javascript test version which works fine.. But if I try and use:
ExternalInterface.call("closeMyWindow");
Functionality it does not. My simple Javascript version is cut and paste below and attached to this message.

I'm maintaining a ActionScript 2 application which uses createEmptyMovieClip to create dropdown lists (the list items being attached as movieclips). I can close the dropdown directly via removeMovieClip and such, obviously.
My problem is this: the dropdown should not only be closed when an item is clicked or the button creating it is triggered again, but also anytime the user clicks anywhere outside the dropdown (like onReleaseOutside, except the click also STARTS outside).
So far the only solution I can see is turning _root (or an invisible layer) into a button by proving an onRelease for it, but that's hackish in that it makes _root be treated like a button by Flash (pointer mouse cursor and all that). Do not want!
I'm wondering if there is a way to code the closing of a browser window which displays a published flash program (html). Say you have a button which says "Close" or "Quit". Can it be done? or must the user just click the little red 'X'.
View 3 RepliesI don't explicitly call the method xmlSocket.close() and a user is saying that when you close the app from the web browser the socket doesn't close properly and lingers for some time.
In my code I don't call xmlSocket.close() because the flash documentation says that as soon as you close flashplayer or the web browser the socket connection is automatically terminated.
got a new problem with Flash CS4 which came up yesterday after trying to profile a swf with Flex Builder (3).As soon as I close a open document (like fla, as) or close a running swf (started with Cmd+Enter) it crashes. Reinstalled CS4 today, but the problem is still there. Really annoying stuff.

I'm a web designer but I just don't use a lot of Flash. I'm sure this will change as time goes on. For now, I'm still using an old version of Flash MX on my Mac - Flash MX version 6. But I don't think that has anything to do with the problem. I designed a flash animation for my wife's website back in 2004 and it has always worked perfectly up until installing the most recent Flash Player 10.0.32.18 just a few days ago. Here's the problem:On my wife's website, we have a special link called "view presentation". You click on that link and a smaller, separate window pops up. Inside of this pop up window is the flash animation (the actual swf file). In the HTML code for the pop up window, I have coded the following javascript:
function closeWin() {
if (document.images) {
self.close();

This is a new, legal installation of Flash CS5 running on MacBook Air. Here are the file management problems I'm experiencing:
1) files are excrutiatingly slow to open, close, save, and switch between
2) I currently have a series of about 15 files open and I'm trying to close them - I click "don't save" but the files won't close - it's like I've clicked cancel. I have removed the external media these files were originally on, but if not trying to save the file, why can't Flash just close them and make them go away?
There are many posts about how to close browsers, but so far I can't get any of them to work from a custom class. I am new to AS3 so I could be doing something wrong. My class *is* being called and the method *is* executing, but the browser (IE) does not close. I'm wondering if this might be a scope issue of some kind?
