I know there are sites out there when you log on to their account they can play swf games or otherwise flash games on the site so whenever they go to another computer they can continue their progress without restarting just by logging onto their account.

View 11 RepliesI am working on a portfolio site to display images. I have 2 frames, the first contains a progress bar and this code:
[Code]...
The second frame has the content and different action script that is related to it.
My problem is that the whole site works fine in Flash when i "test movie" and "simulate download" but as soon as i "publish preview" in either flash or html the progress bar doesn't work, it just freezes on that frame.I am really new at this and have just pieced together the code i have from various tutorials on the net but this is really testing my patience. So frustrating because the site took me ages and it looks great in flash, just need to get past this little hitch.
'm currently develop a flash game but i don't know how to save the games marks so thatthe user can display it when the games was over.
View 5 RepliesOnce, I wanted to make a large RPG-game. I wanted it to be like Zelda, Diablo2 style of RPG with much Hack-and-Slash but also a little quests and a big world to explore. (a BIG game). A game needs to be programmed, so I had to choose a programming language. I chose Flash, because its easy to make graphics in it, and its not that hard, I thought. The game was planned to be a stand-alone-application that you could have on your computer and play whenever you wanted to. Much like any other game. But, this was not something I thought of in the beginning, games you make in Flash usually is web-games, right? But this RPG I wanted to make was not an online-game, and I didn't want it to be either, because it would be to big to download everytime you wanted to play it.
A RPG-game needs a save game/load game function. But Flash cannot write to external files! This was terrible! Now, its a great safety protection to make flash files not write bad things into your computer. But I need it in order to save my games! There is this way, that flash can load variables from external text files. But is there some way that I dont know about to make it save there to? One way is to make the player manually copy a mass of code (variables) from a window in the game, into the textfile. Any way to write from flash to a textfile?
I know these other two ways of "saving".
1. Using cookies to save and load.
2. Using an online database of some sort to store/load variables.
But they're for online flash applications only... So I'd rather not use them.
I've been asked by a client to create a flash rolodex.Basically it will look and act like the rolodex object to hold peoples information. He's seen the pageFlip application which i'm sure your all familiar with and wants it to look like that.
View 3 RepliesI'm a complete newbie to SharePoint and I've been tasked to develop a SharePoint site with Flash content (Flash CS3 or CS5). I've done some quick research on this and I understand there are different ways to query SharePoint. I must say it's been a long process for me to try to piece different bits of information to achieve what I'm asked to do.
So here it is. Develop a site using SharePoint 2007 with Flash content.User input in the Flash objects will be stored.Previous user input will be retrieved and displayed in the Flash objects for reviewing purpose.User input will later be processed/manipulated for reporting purposes.Embed FLV videos on certain pages. I understand data can be saved as lists in SharePoint and you can create custom ASPX to get the lists and parse it as XML input for a Flash object. Can I reverse this process when it comes to saving data?
What would be the best approach to implement the above requirements in SharePoint 2007 environment?
Or, should I consider saving data in an external DB, say MSSQL, and having custom ASPX query that DB and generate XML for Flash objects? Or maybe any APIs that can make this process easier?
Is there a way for a SWF to save progress in an animation? I'm planning on creating a very interactive website but I want it to be able to remember the settings people use for instance after they drag a button. I mean, after you quit the page. It still has to remember.
View 3 RepliesI see that the background music in my Flash site is located in a symbol called muz When I click the properties of this symbol, the sound file's location is listed as.flashsoundmuz.wav I couldn't find that sound sub-folder in the flash folder nor could I find the file.

View 3 RepliesI want to add the ability to have my flash game record the users progress then save to a database. That part is pretty easy, but how can I make it so the user can login and continue their game. I also wanting to know if it'll be better for the game progress to be saved with SharedObjects or with an SQL database. I would like it that the game could be played on any website and their data can still be accessed and played if that is advised. I am new to user sessions with AS3 and need pointers.
View 1 RepliesHas anyone seen the issue with the progess bar, when uploading on a system running Windows 7.The progress bars show 100% immediately as the upload is happening, and the site looks like its frozen out - but its not, the upload finishes and the onComplete event is fired!

View 2 RepliesI have build a flash form that uses php to save variables to a web folder on my site in a text file. There is a .swf file with dynamic txt fields in the same folder it which pulls the data from the txt file. It doesnt seem to pull it as real time as I would like. sometime just once and not after that.When I update the form the text file saves to the web folder ok, but I have to refresh the link to pull the data in or empty browsing history etc.is there a way around anyone can think of so everytime I update the flash form the data come in straight away or after a few seconds.
View 5 RepliesI have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?

Background: I've been coding in VIM/C++/OpenGL for a long time.I've come to realize that this (VIM/C++/OpenGL) isn't the way to learn about programming fancy/cool-looking/futuristic UIs; and that the design of such UIs belongs more so in the artistic/designer world of Flash.
Anyway, I currently have a machine with MacOSX. What software should I install? What book should I read to learn about the artistic/design side of these futuristic UIs? [It's okay if the tools to design them are mouse clicking + graphical rather than coding based].
Question: what software packages + books to read to learn about creating fancy-looking / futuristic UIs in flash?
On my venture for quick rendering within Flash, I've worked out that the only solution is to create sprite sheets on the fly. Sprite sheets are created from a MovieClip using BitmapData.draw().
I have a graphics manager class which has a method that accepts a MovieClip and an int. The MovieClip is the target to capture graphics from, and the int represents how many different angles the image can be rendered at within 360 degrees.
[Code]...
Any advice around this would be extremely helpful. Note: I have made sure to utilize BitmapData.dispose() within my own dispose() method defined by SpriteSheet to clear up RAM, I am more concerned about how much RAM I can use at one given time (all game assets that will render ready to be used).
A client of mine has had 2 sites (both Flash sites) attacked over the last 12 months, so he's been asking: should he go for a static HTML site or stick with a Flash site? Is there ways to make a Flash site more secure?

I added a movie clip to my library and enabled export for actionscript. I got a dialog box that says "a definition for this class could not be found in the classpath, so one will automatically be generated in the swf file upon export." I click ok. Then when I try to test it, I get an error that says "call to possibly undefined method". What exactly am I doing wrong?

What are the best (considered by professionals) approaches while creating a platformer based game for Creating game levels & background (static ones).Create a single background and scale it?or Display it on-the-fly by loading objects (probably repeating them often).
If the first one is the choice then it would become essential to create each level manually of the game & putting level editors difficult.
Also if the later is the choice I find it too processor intensive....my frame rate almost breaks into half, while trying to manage so many objects together on screen.
