I recently stumbled upon a site called 'The Influence Project' which allows the user to control a infinite wall of photographs in space with the keyboard.You can check out the site here http:[URL]....
View 2 RepliesI'm completely new to AS3/Flash programming, though I program in C/C++/C# in my job. These days I got a project idea which I think Flash would better fit than the other languages I mentioned above. I want to create an on-line automation application that can:
1. Control user mouse clicks, or eventually keyboard, pressing some keys;
2. Communicate/connect to the user's bluetooth device, establishing connections to the mobile devices attached to it - the web application in this case would act as a server.
I made a movie clip with infinite loop in which there are images that move from right to left something simple like a marquee, and each image has a blank space between them, but between last and first image there is a more space, how I can do to make all images have an equal space between each one and that the motion never stops.
View 5 RepliesI have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I got Facebook to work with Flash as I wanted it to using the Facebook-Actionscript-Api. Works great and I got get Graph api working so that I'm able to post stuff to ppl's walls using the Facebook.api("/me/feed") post stuff without asking the user permission, as it's already got that permission, and it's great for many occasions. But not all.
View 1 RepliesCan I get the user wall status in Facebook using as3? Using me/feed/...something ?
View 1 RepliesI want to publish this link [URL] into wall via Graph Api. If you see the code of the link you can see that the required metas are wrote. In fact, if you paste the link in Fb, you can see that it recognise and even publish the player.For test purpose i have used the Graph API Explorer [URL]) with this parameters:
Method: "POST"
Api : https://graph.facebook.com/user/feed
oauth_token : ...
message: "Test from API Explorer"

I do not understand why, whith the API Explorer works fine, but whit my PHP call does not.
All I want is to have the latest 3 or so posts from my clients Facebook page to populate and animate in a screensaver that I am building using Flash (AS3).
So far, every time I try to bring anything in, it requires a complete oAuth login and account link, but it's only a one way exchange (read-only, absolutely no writing, posting or even linking, since it's a screensaver) I'm not even sure the client wants pictures or anything.
I am currently trying to use the facebook-actionscript-api, but there isn't an option for the "App Login" type of Authentication that would solve most of my problems.
is it possible in actionscript for the user to type in a box from a keyboard like a user input text box..
View 3 RepliesI'm developping a flash photo gallery with deeplink and i would like to enable the user to share the photos on their facebook wall. I tryied to find some tutorials explaining how to achieve that but unfortunatly I had no luck. The ones I found don't enable me to customize the wall post (these fields: title, description, url and image)
View 2 RepliesI'm using the code below for an infinite looping menu but this menu code makes it move on its own. I want the looping/movement to be activated by the user literally dragging up and down. Does anyone know how I can alter this code so it responds to the user dragging up and down.

how can I remove the space between my video and control bar.I tried to change margin and padding to all element without success. There is still a thin white space above the controls.[code]
View 1 RepliesI found an earlier post with the following solution for mouseover visibility control.
ActionScript Code:
instancename.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 0;
} instancename.onRollOut = function() {
this._alpha = 100;
}
What changes would I make to use the space bar as a toggle for visibility? Or would I need something completely different?
onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=377;
speed=1/10;[code].....
i did the tutorial but something is wrong cuz when i created my own little sliding thingy and i put my mouse so it slides left or right on the right side it cuts off a bit when going infinite.I think its something to do with the positioning of my menu because its not on x=0 its on x=120.8 and i was trying to work out how to fix it but i'm stuck...and when i move the menu to x=0 it works nicely.

in as2 i have this
function LTrim(str:String) {

There are a lots of HOWTOs about shooting and stitching 360 photographs, but I didnt find any tutorial about uploading those photographs on my web. How should I do this? What do I need for it?
View 3 Repliesis the following scripts correct to stop animation by pressing "Space Bar" if the animation is playing. And to play the animation again if the animation is paused. Is there any additional criteria need to be added to make it more solid.

I've been fooling with this problem since AS2.0 (and shared Objects) and I'm not much closer to solving it, partly because every article I read on it is focused on php and server-side stuff that doesn't apply. How to load a String Array from a txt file in local user space (the folder from which the .swf is run). What I need to know: The easiest way for the user to save/load a file. The file has to contain Objects and Arrays reflecting his current status in the game. The goal is to avoid non-Flash apps and languages, and external Classes if possible (I do everything right in the main fla). I don't mind that the user has to initiate and approve the upload/download.
View 1 RepliesI am creating a game where the user can control the character either by left or right keyboard buttons or by clicking on a left of right movielcip buttons. Currently, I can control the character using the keyboard but I cannot figure out how to add the MC button control. Here is my current code attached to the character_mc:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.background_mc._x<=-3620) {
_root.background_mc._x = -3620;
[Code].....
Can I add another listener for either movieclip button (left_btn_mc, right_btn_mc) to the above code, or do I need to add the code to the each movieclip button?
What im trying to do is create 8 button in flash using as2 to control certain keys on the keyboard. When i click a button ive created in flash i want it to trigger a key eg. "a"
View 1 RepliesWorking on my first complex game, and I'm not sure how to best approach this problem. I've got a submarine whose motion is controlled by the four arrow keys and which launches torpedoes via the space bar. After the sub shoots, I want the torpedo to be steerable with two other keys (probably Z for left and X for right), and at the same time, have arrow keys continue to control the ship.
First question, is this possible? I'm assuming I'll have to switch focus back and forth via code.
Second, what the best approach to setting this up? Attach listeners to the stage or to each object? If I chose the former, could i avoid focus issues by detecting which key was pressed and then manipulating the appropriate object?
I'm trying to create an input field where a user types a word and if correct, the movie progresses to the next frame (I just can't don't know how). More importantly, I wondered if there was a way to substitute clicking on a button with hitting a key on the keyboard? So instead of using a "submit" button to check the field's value... the user can just hit the "enter" or "return" button and the "if" and "gotoandplay" actions will occur.
View 7 RepliesOK, so im trying to make a seemingly simple as3 project where I instantiate a movieclip from the library, and then move it using keyboard controls. I got it working fine using ye olde as2 method (all the code on the timeline of the .fla), but i cant get it to work using the as3 .as file method (if that's the right description).

I'm using the slider component to control the volume of an MP3 but also need to use the arrow keys to move a character. When you place focus on the slider component, the arrow keys move the slider rather than the character. How can I disable keyboard control of the slider altogether? Is there a way to do it temporarily.
View 1 RepliesI created a presentation in Flash. And I embedded the following keyboard control scripts so that I can pause the slide by pressing "Spacebar" and play it again by pressing "Enter".[code]I also embedded getTimer script to delay the speed of the flow so that key-point can be loaded one by one.[code]Other than the above keyboard control, I also add four buttons at the right bottom so that I can play and pause, fast forward and rewind by clicking those four buttons.
1. the 1st and 2nd slide cannot be paused by the above keyboard control command.
2. the play and pause buttons at the right bottom is not functional in the 1st and 2nd slide.URL...
I have some AS2 code for responding to keyboard input - it was great because it added friction, thrust, gravity etc... ie: it made the movements very real and added playability which is key in engaging players. On passing it into classes for OOP I don't seem to have got it right. maybe somebody knows a nice tutorial for the same.It was Emanuel Feronato's tut in AS2

Can you tab into CS3 Playback components or control them with keyboard commands in a regular (non screenreader) browser like IE? If not, can you in CS4? I believe that all screen readers can control Flash playback now, correct? But I have a higher up who wants it to be keyboard controlled as well.
View 4 RepliesI have two MovieClips, and both are controlled by keyboard events. One is a globe that I want to rotate in one direction or the other. The second is a walking animation that should change direction or stand still depending on which key is pressed or if none are.
Here is the AS Code:
/*var rightDown:Boolean = false;
var leftDown:Boolean = false;
var upDown:Boolean = false;
var downDown:Boolean = false;*/
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
[Code] .....
You can see that I've tried a few different methods, but neither has worked correctly. Using the timer came close, but then the globe kept speeding up, and I couldn't get the walking animation to default back to the standing animation. Here is the .fla [URL].
needless to say, new to as3... What I want to do is control start and stop of stage playhead with keyboard control. What I have so far is the stop control, but cant figure out the play. I have tried setting a var and boolean, but am doing something wrong =(

how to make an keyboard event listener control a button to have it make a sound. i am making a drum kit that you will be able to play using specific key on the keyboard. i have it built and functioning with just using mouse clicks but for my end result i would like to have the keyboard and mouse be able to control it.
