i have a Flash Application with a button and an onRelease event. How can i load an external swf File, display it for 5 seconds on top of the main stage and then fade it out? Will this be possible with createEmptyMovieClip()?
View 2 RepliesIm once again stuck on actionscript 3.0. I am currently trying to load an external swf into my current swf by using a button. This works perfectly.I then made a button to unload my swf. This works too.
Actionscript Code:
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Extswf.swf");var myloader:Loader=new Loader();myloader.load(myrequest);open_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);close_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadFunction);function clickButton(event:MouseEvent):void{ stage.addChild(myloader); function unloadFunction(event:Event):void{ stage.removeChild(myloader);}
Looking at this gave me a new idea, which I have seen being done in Actionscript 2.0.Instead of having a close button inside my current swf file, I would like to have the close button INSIDE "Extswf.swf". This would allow me to make the swf exactly what my original idea wanted it to be.
I've used the following frame action with 2.0. for loading external swf to blank mc on stage, scale it and then removing it by buttons. load_btn. onRelease = function() {movie_mc.loadMovie("webdesign.swf");movie_mc._xscale = 70;movie_mc._yscale = 70;}remove_btn.onRelease = function() {movie_mc.unloadMovie();}I found that it is not working anymore with 3.0.
View 2 RepliesOn my homepage, when I enter, I want only the flash to appear first while the rest of the content is being loaded in the background. Once the flash has loaded, display it for 5 seconds then fade out to reveal the content. Is this possible with jQuery?
View 1 RepliesI can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

I have a video, 14 minutes long, at various times, I need to load information for a few seconds, and then unload it.At the moment, I'm doing it all in the timeline which works fine, however I'm limited by 16,000 keyframes which for the last video, was about 7 minutes (full video was 9).Is there a way to load and unload in 1 long action script file at the beginning of the video? eg (not actual code btw)
at 4 seconds, load 1.swf into container1
at 14 seconds, unload 1.swf from container1
at 16 seconds, load 2.swf into container1

View 1 RepliesI having a little trouble with the countdown tutorial here. I want to remove the milliseconds and have the timer based on seconds instead. How do I do that? I'm using Flash 8 if that means anything.
View 1 RepliesAfter working for a prolonged time on a programming problem, I start to get coding tunnel vision. It makes it harder to draw back and look at the problem from farther away. Hence my question: I am using a Drupal 6 site. When a menu option is clicked, the page opens and a Flash SWF file needs to played in a ThickBox. After 8 seconds, that Thickbox closes.
Opening the SWF file in the Thickbox when a link is clicked is no problem, just like closing the Thickbox afterwards; that's basic javascript. For that I use these:
[Code]...
But opening the Thickbox on load? I can add a link for the user to click, but it should open automatically. I figured out the PHP to have it only open on one specific page. From the Thickbox manual, I learned to open links to images - but not how to open it when the page loads.
Is there any opensource flash/actionscript code to display an image for x number of seconds.
View 1 RepliesI am loading eight external swfs by way of eight buttons with actionscript to remove the swfs and sound after a new button is clicked. This works fine except that as soon as you get to the frame where the actionscript is all the swfs load at one time on top of each other. I don't want any to load until the button is clicked for the right one. MouseEvent listener works but only after all the swfs have loaded. How do I get the swfs to load only when the buttons are clicked. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I'm making a game where little parcels appear and if they aren't dragged to the correct zone within 5 seconds, they disappear and the player loses points. The problem i'm having is that i'm generating the movieclip parcel objects as follows:
[Code]...
currentParcel is 1 of 3 (randomly selected) movieclip names (redParcel, yellowParcel and orangeParcel).
What I need to do is add some code to say "after a movieclip has been generated...if it is still here in 5 seconds time. It sounds simple but I can't figure it out for the life of me! I've tried setInterval with something like: timedProcess = setInterval(timeCheck, 5000);
but how can I pass the actual movieclip "handle" along with the function so that timeCheck knows which movieclip to delete?
I am trying to load an external swf with a number of quotes into an empty movie clip on the home page. then I want it to obviously disappear when nav to any other page.
1) know that you need a loaderEmpty_mc to load the swf into
2) don't know code for how to get it to load on entering the home page
3) don't know how to cdde for leaving the home page and making it disappear

I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg that I am trying to get to do this: On page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning,
Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code. I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
if(Movienum == 0) loadVariableNum ("loaded_Text.txt", 0)
if(Movienum == 1) loadVariableNum ("1.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 2) loadVariableNum ("2.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 3) loadVariableNum ("3.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 4) loadVariableNum ("4.swf", 0)
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
function countDown() {
if (Movienum == 0) {
loadVariablesNum("loaded_text.txt", 0);

I've build a simple video chat application. The problem is that there is a delay of seconds between video display i.e. user1 video motion change displayed bit late at the user2 window. I'm using FMS 3.5 and FLEX.. IS THIS PROBLEM RELATED TO THE BANDWIDTH. My FMS bandwidth is 256kbps.

I am developing a static flex application which does not have a database connection, all the values are hardcoded(its just a prototype for the original app). Now when I click the save button, i need to get a message like saving in progress... please wait, I need to display this message for 3 seconds.

View 2 RepliesI have eight images in a MC that I would like to sequentially fade in, display for a few seconds and fade out using _alpha function. So far I can fade one in with this AS:
img1._alpha=0
img1.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha +=10;
}
Assuming my instances are img1, img2, img3, etc, etc... how would I go about sequentially fading each instance from 0 to 100, letting it display on the stage for a few seconds and then fade out (like a slideshow)?
When i use time varaible and then minus the time. Ive noticed that flash does not count down in seconds, but the speed of light. My maths are not very strong so how can i get flash to count in seconds
var time =60;
sprite.onEnterframe = function(){
time -=1; ( this counts faster than seconds)
}
I have a movie clip symbol that is place on my main time line.I want the movie clip to display frames for (x) seconds then go to the next frame.I have a chunk of code that works by itself but when placed into my flash site it is causing some strange problems. Such as navigating to a label (page) prior to the movie clip that has the wait function code, freezes the flash.I am wondering if I need _root or a this in there somewhere.
The reason I want to do this is so I don't have to add a bunch of frames to get the pause time I need.Is there a way to use the code below and not have it cause problems with the rest of my time line?Here is the wait function code
stop();
i = 1;
function Wait() {[code].....

I have a series of 10 external interface callbacks that are called through javascript and load mp3 files. The problem is, someone is able to click these while my pre-load function is running and it causes multiple files to load. Is there a way to disable the callbacks while the pre-load function is running?

We have multiple servers for different offices. SWF is copied to multiple offices and there is script to redirect the path depending on the user location. It works well except that it copies the SWF only once each day. Before it's available, we have to use the path to the staging server location that is only visible to the main office and identified users. If SWF is not copied over, users would see a blank page. I wonder if it's possible to have some kind of Javascript that will display an image (can be stored in the main office while accessed by all) if SWF can't be found. This would make it more usable during our update time.
View 0 RepliesI have a project where I have code inside a MC on the main timeline that loads XML via a php file on the server. Once the data is loaded, it sends commands to other MCs and works just fine.However, I need to refresh this XML info every 5 seconds or so. I have tried several things such as interval code and pause code, but the farthest I got was that it paused the initial clip for 5 seconds, then ran the script once, but never again. Or it refreshed, but got stuck on the first frame of the clip.Now I am thinking I would be better off NOT having the code inside the MC, but on the main timeline and just having the action span the course of the main timeline. That way, the call to the php can be refreshed from any frame of the main timeline. Does that sound right?
View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to load a new image into a Movieclip from an Array assigned in KeyFrame 1 on the Main timeline and I am trying to use setInterval and clearInterval to get this working, but I think I may have layout or the function incorrect.[code]This loads a new image every time the panel is clicked on (Panel 2 - Trusted) but I can't get it to automatically cycle through the images in the array. Here's a link to the SWF in question: URL..And in case someone wants to see how I have it setup, here's a copy of the FLA: URL...

View 3 RepliesI am using the Loader to load an external swf into my program. Inside the external swf, I need to be able to access the Loader instance that just loaded it. Does the loader add the external swf to itself before any code inside the swf gets executed? When is it safe to access the loader via the following code?
var target:DisplayObject = this;
while(!(target is Loader) && DisplayObject(target).parent != null){
target = DisplayObject(target).parent;
}
