I am trying to use a tree menu to load SWF files into another SWF file. Its not Astra but its very similar. If I could simply get one node linking in an SWF I think I could get the rest. All I could find was how to bring in a movie clip. I have the menu set up and ready to populate but need a bit of help getting it to function how I need it.
I am attempting to create a Flash5 menu tree, following the Flash4 tutorial at this [URL] I have created the two MC's (a "topMenu" and a "subMenu"). However, when I place the two MC's on the first frame of _root , the properties of the associated buttons get screwed up if I place the two MCs in a verical alignment. It appears that Flash5 makes a consolidated object, such that the _height property for the second MC is determined by adding the _height property of both MCs.
1. Could you confirm that this is what's taking place? 2. Is there a way to use Scope to eliminate the problem? 3. Other recommendations?
NOTE: if you move the lower MC out to the side, the problem disappears. Although a workaround, this seems to be a poor way for the program to function.
I have a computer and a flash drive that both have the same homework files. I take the flash drive to and from school to work on homework, and I have to manually update those files onto my computer. How can I automatically have the files on my flash drive update the files on my computer?
We would like to build a flash video player into our corporate intranet site, currently we are evaluating JW Player and have come across and issue accessing the FLV files stored on a mirrored share drive that all users have access to on the local intranet.From what I can tell the Adobe flash plugin will not allow a SWF file hosted 'online' (intranet) to access a shared directory that the user has access to. Is there any way around this?
Can I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.
I am creating an AIR application using flex3 and actionscript3. there, i need to display dir content of cd drive/usb drive entered by user. how can i get cd/dvd drive name by actionscript3
Does anyone here have an idea on how to create a folder on your local hard drive via flash AS3, the name of the folder will depend on what you enter on the textfield in the .swf file.
I'm looking to create a solution that will enable me to have a folder of AVI files on a USB drive, packaged along with a custom designed player (probably built in Flash). I would like to creare the packaged flash file in a way that will autorun on inserting the drive if at all possible. The solution will need to be platform agnostic (hence my thinking that Flash would be the best bet). Has anyone come across a tutorial for achieving anything even similar to the above?
I read about dynamic menu in [URL] and think its really awesome menu! I stuck get to do menu like this, I'm using flashmx 2004. I get confused in action script code posted there and didn't get further to continue building.
I am facing some problem that I add some title widows to the ItemRenderer of tree. but some time tree don't show those tiny title windows in tree item-renderer.. is this the issue that tree re-use its renderers..(these windows are skinned like little cricles, and added specific to the data of item renderer.. these TitleWindows are added using addElement() to a s:BorderContainer in the renderer)[code]...
I got project, an accordion menu/tree menu, that just has 2 expanding parts. Very simple looking, but needs to look exactly like the image I was given.Not knowing much code, I luckily found an old sample of a real simple tree menu, since I didn't need any expensive components or plugins, nor did I want to deal with external XML files (can't code an XML worth a damn anyhow). But this old sample had everything in the fla, and did just what I needed it to. I attached it here, Menu_Old.zip.I took that exact same setup from the sample, and exact same code to make my current menu.At first, it did work fine, but the text looked really rough (I had to use images), but it definitely looked off. Looks fine in the fla, but when viewing the swf, the images are crap, some rollover states don't even line up.Then upon further inspection, I noticed that the profile of the original sample that I also built off of was an old Flash MX file. Profile said it was flash player 6, and actionscript 1.0. I'm guessing maybe player 6 just had crap antialiasing?Using flash CS3 (but saving these as flash 8), I was able to change the profile on the sample menu to flash 9 (& even actionscript 2.0) and it still works and looks fine, even after saving with the new profile.However, with my new menu that uses all that same code, when I use anything higher than flash player 6, my text look perfect again, but I lose all functionality!This doesn't make sense! And the guy needs this menu like yesterday! The way the text/images look in flash player 6 mode in unacceptable.
I am using flash cs3 and cs4 (same results on both).I put this post in this section because the code and original file are flash 8 or older stuff, plus in cs3, I did save these as flash 8 files.I both modified the original sample fla itself to the new menu to see if that might fix the problem, but it didn't.Nor did starting it over from scratch, despite again using the same old code.My new menu just isn't expanding, other than when profile is player 6 where it looks awful.You can see for yourself, if you change the current menu profile from player 6 to anything newer, the text looks great, but it will likely lose functionality like it does for me. Do the same with the old sample menu, you can even use the player 10 profile in cs4 and it still works.
I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.
I get the folder icon, never the label. I've tried numerous datasources, always the same thing. File, ajax call, text, it always fails.
In the code below I even set a custom handler and watch the XML come in, I set a static text label going out. Never anything shown. This happens without the label function and using labelField. Yes, I'm 100% sure the attribute matches. Again, tried with numerous different datasources.[code]...
I have an xml file it's structure like down below :
[Code]...
I looked for couple of examples It uses Xml attributes to shows as tree components' labels. But I want to show these xml text contents in tree component. But i couldn't find an example how to show as label these xml text contents.
Using RecursiveDirectoryIterator of PHP i am able to create directory tree and can even flatten it using RecursiveIteratorIterator class , but I want to create directory tree structure which TREE component of flex understands . The following is an array structure in php which flex understands.
I have added an event handler for itemOpening event for the tree component inside the handler basically ido myTree.selectedItem = event.item ; and then add the new data inside myTree.selectedItem.children.push(newData); But It do not show simultaneously instead I have to close , open the branch again to see the new data. I think I need to refresh something after adding new data but dont know what? below is the code but without the declaration , script tag etc
We are looking for a vertical style menu tree. We are trying to replace an old style Java Menu, which you can see at [url]... along the left side of the window.
I have currently created a tree menu that works but I cant seem to get the scrollbar to scroll thought the information. I have attached my flash 8 file.
i am trying to create a simple movie clip of a car that can drive on on a curvey floor. its from a side view.i have managed to control the car movement well enough but i cant figure out how to control the car y position so its always above the floor level.
I've created a full screen flash website. When I test the file in flash, its all good. Now I need to put it online to show the client, but whenever I try to do this...all I get is a black screen. Even if I use Flash's own Publish as HTML option, all I see is a black screen. the code on my main timeline is like this:
Just wondering if it is possible to show a movie clip based menu inside a Flash movie when the user "right-clicks" an item (a button or movie clip for example).

I noticed there was no tree component in AS3. I plan on making a tree style menu with sub menus and stuff so should I just do this project in AS2 or is their something I can make similar to a tree component in AS3?
