I have a flex application that uses BrowserManager for Deep Linking.
But whenever the # changes the new hash fragment gets appending to the bottom of the page. In IE it is inside a frame that says "Hidden frame for Browser History support." I didn't even know it worked that way. But anyways it is not supposed to be showing up visibly on the page but it is..
Is there a way to have a hidden swf ( flex application ) on a page and still have it be reachable from javascript and debuggable from flash builder? I have need to use flash to manipulate js but it needs to be reachable from js to be started.
View 1 RepliesI recently experienced a very strange bug and even afteruninstalling and reinstalling Flash the bug is still there. Myproblem is as follows: existing symbols on stage appear blank withthe correct bounding box. FIlls and lines appear correctly, but assoon as they are converted to a symbol they disappear. Componentslike the included drop down menu appear correctly.img1img2img3
View 1 RepliesI'm not even sure what you call it. When you go to some of the major web sites and big flash movie with option to shorten it is displayed. I've search the web for this and maybe i not calling it right.
What is the name of this flash movie called when you come to site and big flash movie comes up and pushes everything down? It has a option to reduce size by clicking button.
Anybody know where you can find this tutorial?

View 1 RepliesLet's say I'm trying to build a thing where there are hundreds of different objects on the stage and each of them does something that requires enterframe. Since it's better to group all the enterframes into one huge enterframe (ty to this thread!), I was thinking that each time one of the objects wants to execute something via enterframe, it would use the enterframe manager, which adds the demanded function.In order to manage all this, I was thinking of using an array which keeps track of all the objects that need enterframe and the functions each of them want to execute, but then again it seems pretty awkward to keep an eye on all this and remove the object and its function when I want to
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make an mp3 player that passes javascript events to a flash file. I'm not very saavy in flash so this may be a simple question.. but how do you make a "movie-less" flash file? Is it possible to just embed an actionscript file? Because that is really all I need to run. Side note: What is the easiest (and fastest) way to pass params to actionscript using javascript?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.
View 1 RepliesMy website is already done, however I found some sad property right after completion and publishing. When I zoom out (with ctrl+mousewheel or ctrl+-) my content which should be hidden is revealed which looks terrible and ruins whole effect (as you can see in the link below).

I did not use any mask, as I could not overcome the issue that I needed 2 masks actually - one for the whole opacity in the middle, and second for the rest with slight opacity and I believed flash CS 5 does not allow this.Therefore I used simple layer with low opacity and small cut window in front leaving my moving pictures in the back.Now is there any way I prevent either browser from zooming out or zooming in(javascript perhpas?) or Flash from showing off-document content?I think I've tried every combination of Flash publishing. Every time after zoom out the space between flash object and the rest of the html are enlarged and pictures off-screen are shown.
So I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.
I've embeded my swf file in .net application and after navigating to some pages in swf file and pressing f5 or refresh, its navigating to starting page of swf file and browsers path always shows the same path (main.aspx page) in which I am embedding the swf file. After navigating to some pages in swf file also it shows the sam path. So its refreshing the aspx page and giving the starting page. How can I control the browser to stay in current page of swf file.

I made a swf that interacts with other site on the internet (which has a crossdomainfile for me).in the main.mxml there is a definition of webservice (mx:WebService)(which is not in my domain). Therefore when loading the swf, there is a first call to crossdomainfile.xml.I put this swf on my server so that my clients can get it.
When i connect to my server to download the swf, i expect to be asked if i want to allow the swf connect to foreign webservice domain.Do i always need to define exception in Global Security Settings panel?I don't want my client do define special things..Is there a best practice for that? Why when i surfing the net other swf can do this? I read about the FlashPlayerTrust, can i define there a website i trust my swf will connect to?

View 1 RepliesI have tried several ways to import a movie and create a web banner. I created a project in After Effects and exported as both an flv and an f4v. I imported to Flash with no skin and set the project to the same size as the content. When I test the scene, everything is fine. When I do a publish preview, all is well. If I view the published html file on teh computer I created it on, that works. If I try it from another machine on my network, or send the directory with all the files to others, it shows nothing - just a blank page with the flash object there, but no movie.
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to publish my FLA file in Flash CS3, and it creates the swf, HTML, and JS file but when I open the HTML file that is created nothing compiled in my swf file shows up. It only shows my static background, which has nothing on it. I'm dynamically putting everything else onto the stage (AS3). I'm also not getting any errors anywhere, so I have no idea what the problem is. I tried this same thing two weeks ago and everything worked fine, but now I have an empty HTML page.

I know GAIA have the ability to do this but I don't know how to use it, and the more I look to it, the more I think it will be overkill to use on my project.

Is there a much simpler way to do that without having to do it in a framework?
I designed a website for a company recently, and had a preloader screen for it.Now that its uploaded,when I visit the website, the browser downloads all the data first before displaying it, alright.But the preloader screen doesnt appear. When I simulate download in the swf, it shows the preloader screen properly.The AS on the 1st frame is something like this:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[code].................

I'm making a Matching Game where I have some images on my left and I can drag them onto images on my right and if they are matching, they should both disappear from the stage.
[Code]....
findMatch() is a function that finds in my XML file the path of the file that matches the file that is being dragged. Having that path, I send it to dragEnterHandler where it compares it with the path of the dropTarget file and if they are the same, it accepts it. Then in dragDropHandler, I'm changing the source path of my second image to "", so that it disappears from the stage. How can I access the first file (the one that was being dragged), so that I can change its path to "", to get rid of it?

I have created a simple site in Dreamweaver, I have uploaded the site to a remote server and everything is great but for one thing. I have inserted a Flash image viewer that should show a selection of images, it works fine when launched from Dreamweaver into a browser window such as Firefox. However if I access the site using its domain name and recieving from the remote server no images/slides play.
I have done several things to try and rectify this. Made sure the images are in the root folder. entered 'base' and '.' in the parameters and made sure all image names start with a lower case (linux) and it still doesnt work.
