what would be a good solution to the following scenario: a page is supposed to have a few flash buttons in it. we want to check if the user's browser supports flash (a given version i suppose) and if not - display gifs or jpgs instead.
View 1 RepliesSo I want to use some functions that only work if a word in an array is present.
The pseudocode would be something like this
Quote:
if(array contains "word"){
perform function
}
Suppose there is a button on stage - on press - I want to [display / start to run] a movie clip present in library (should i place it on stage?) I tried:
on (press) {
loadMovie("one_mc", "1");
}
not working.
I am using Flash CS4 and the new 3d tool, so need to publish my SWF for Flash player 10.The problem I am having is that when I view the SWF on machines with Flash player 9 it obviously doesn't work. It would be nice if only the 3d didn't work, but none of the actionscript works, so my files loops ad infinitum.I'm sure many people have had this problem (and it seems to me a bit of a lack of foresight from Adobe).I have found some JS code to detect whether the user has flash or not and then display flash or an image, but I would like to detect if they have flash and which version it is, and then display either an image (if no flash) or a Flash 9 SWF or a Flash 10 SWF.

I have a flash file sitting inside of a web page in our company domain. There is another server (used to store images) that is part of the domain but is not running any web services (for security reasons). A folder on the images server is however shared in such a way that any site on the web server can display images from the images server as long as the user is plugged into the domain. For example, both I and my boss can pull up a web site on the web server and see all the information, but only he can see the images
because I have Vista Basic and no domain support. This is done via "<img src='\serverNamedirectory.'/>"
That's ok, but on this particular instance I don't want to display the image on the webpage, I want it in a SWF on the page. However the SWF can't seem to load the images even though the page it's sitting in could. I've tried tons of variations of URLRequests and Loaders, most resulting in security errors. Since most of the online discussions about these errors revolve around cross-domain access, I can't seem to find any tech support for our specific situation.
Is there a way using flash you can display images but each one selected randomly from say an array of different images?
View 4 RepliesI am building a Flash interface to display high quality photos on a CD that will be included in a book. However, the author has decided to use JPEG2000 images and they will not load using my image loader. JPG will work just fine, but Flash does not seem to recognize the JPEG2000 format. Is there a workaround for this, or do I tell him to resave as JPG?
View 1 RepliesI bought a website template that has a scrolling photo gallery. As it came, the images are static in the fla file itself. I would like to edit the fla and load images dynamically. Ideally from MSSQL. I'm using VS2010, C# webforms, and SQL Server 2008 R2. Are there any code snippets or tutorials or general guidance on how to do this? I do have a CS3 disc with Flash on it I can use for editing.
View 1 RepliesI'm using image embedding in Flex 4 (the same goes with Flex 3). [code]...

I'm looking to display three images, chosen at random on load, throughout the duration of a banner ad.Basically, these images are health tips displayed on post it's - as it plays, the post-it's fly off, revealing the next tip.I also need ensure that the images don't repeat I 'm mostly a timeline guy, but I've been learning AS and have no problem getting one image to display randomly - however the three separate ones with no repeat is throwing me off.
My thoughts are to are to either
a) Put all the images on separate frame within 3 MC's, and somehow display a random frame within that clip on load, ensuring no repeat
or
b) Load the images into 3 separate MC's through and XML doc, and pick one at random.
The images only appear one at a time - so I think each MC would only contain one of the 3 random images selected.So is it possible to load a random image into a MC,and then duplicate that MC without a chance of the image repeating?
How can I get different images to display base on the time in Flash?
View 12 RepliesI am trying to create a flash player to display images in sequence using Flash player & ActionScript. The code below has lots of errors and I can't work them out. I have programmed in other languages and am perfectly aware that something like this.
Code:
var imageLoader:Loader;
imageLoader = new Loader(); // 1120: Access to undefined property imageLoader
OR
Code:
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader(); // 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time: Loader
Are both acceptable.

View 1 RepliesI apologize in advance -- I am new to Flash. I am triyng to build a Flash object to display images from a catalog. I would like to build something like this. I really just need some advice/direction to get started.Once I know the basics/techniques to be used, I can go from there. Is this some thing that can be done solely in Flash or will I need to use some combination of Flash & Javascript. Right now, I am thinking I can use the loader class to achieve something like this.

View 1 RepliesI have a file full of text; if this were html, I'd just make an iframe and in the frame, I'd have the text page with "back to top" links throughout. But since this is flash, I'm loading an external text file, and I'd like some "back to the top" links within it. I know how to do a "back to the top" in html, but it doesn't seem to work in a loaded text file in flash. Or is there a better way to present a lot of information in flash?
View 7 RepliesIt goes like this, we need to detect if the display is a Projector (or if the system is connected to a Projetor).the catch is this should be done from within the browser.so is it possible to do so by using anFlashActiveX (this does constrains to a single browser, so not an option)searching so far only reaveals display resolution. expecting if there is something still out there.
View 2 RepliesI'm a designer working in tandem with a PHP programmer on a project where we will display a random image via flash from a selection of images stored on a database. Accompanying this image is a tagline and a path for a button and these variables are sent via a php script. The actionscript then picks up these vars via loadVars and displays them on screen - well, almost.
The tagline is displaying in the dynamic text box with no problems, but I'm struggling with how to display the image in the empty MC I've created (called 'pic') and also to attach the path to the button I've created (called 'projectURL_btn'). I'm fairly sure it's something fairly simple but I just can't crack it.

The site I'm making uses a tabbed navigation and MooTools to fade the pages in and out. One of the pages has a Flash player embedded on it, and all of the others consist of pure HTML. The problem occurs on the HTML pages -- somehow the Flash player is causing the HTML pages to display oddly. Vertical borders and text will be jagged in the same locations of the top and bottom of the player.!

In the first case, the movieclip cannot exist either on screen/memory if it was not 'contained' by either a movieclip or stage. How can this happen, can somebody explain how this "movieclip" loses its parent reference to the stage or container mc. The debugger stack shows the value of movieclip.parent as null.

I'm having trouble getting a decent system running for playing multiple independent flv movies in a container clip using the flv component back-to-back. I guess what I'm looking for is tips or examples of creating the video equivalent of a slide show - with options to skip next, previous and go to a specific clip.
Basically, at the heart of it, I'm just setting flvcomponent.play(newcontentpath) via actionscript. But that causes a skip of about 0.5s while flash switches gears and begins the next clip.
Does anyone have any tips on achieving good transitions in actionscript2? More generally and tips on dealing with video via actionscript .
Through a textField you can access images (or it's Loader object) with getImageReference( imgId ). This works fine.Now I want to add eventListeners to the Loader to detect mouseClicks on the images. But somehow that part won't work.[code]
