I have a flex application that loads an external swf file. I created the external swf file using flash cs4 so I can add code to it if that is what it takes.
Here is the code I use to load my external swf:
//add button swf
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yadayada.com/media/but_button.swf");
[Code].....
Can I have my external swf send click events to my flex application? How?
I have a flex application and have embedded a flash (SWF) file into it using <mx:SWFLoader>. There is an "Exit" button on the Flash file. I want to be able to handle the button click event on the flex application.
So when that button in the flash file is clicked, I want to perform an action in the parent flex application.
I want to read xml data to a mxml application from a xml file on my filesystem. The example I found was for AIR,link2, link3. But I want to target the Flash Player runtime. If I use the the tag, I can do it; however the xml compiles into my swf. How can I retain the xml file in my release build?
I can't seem to figure out how to set the application control bar's background color in flex 4? It doesn't have the backgroundColor property, and I'm a little stuck.
For classroom, how do I actually able to remotely control 100's PC from a master application? Like control the student who also using Flex application is possble with XMLsocket?
Once I get logged in on my login control, I would like to change the selected index of my ViewStack. From my outside controls, I cannot reference my ViewStack by name. I can reference a public static function from an outside control however I cannot refer to the ViewStack from within that function.
i have uploaded in flex, swf file which is created in flash actionscript. This swf file is having the textArea controls.content of textarea changes as i perform some clicks, keyboard input.Now i want to access the content of textarea in my flex application's variable.I have seen some example where a movieclip object is created to get the content and load the method of flash project.
I have a Tree Control inside my Flex Application which I want to edit on a doubleclick on a tree item. I found the properties doubleClickEnabled= "true", doubleClick="startEditMode()", and editable="true". With these functions I can detect a double click and I can change the editable property to true based on a double click. The problem is that after I double clicked on a Item i have to click once more to really enter the edit mode. That doesn't seem to be intuitive at all..
I have two applications. In one application the web browser control shows a flash movie that is embedded and in the other it does not, only shows place holder. I have identical code in both constructors to load a web control dynamically and then navigate to the requested web page.
I run both application in debug mode from within VS2010.
I have an external CSS file which defines the style for the Button tag.Button {fontSize 11; blah...}I'm trying to override this style for the buttons of a ToggleButtonBar:<mx:ToggleButtonBar dataProvider="{pm.portalNavigation}" fontSize="16" />Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. The fontSize stays at 11. How can I override the external CSS to resize the buttons in my ButtonBar?
basically, what am doing is that am running a flash file (playing music) in the background of the app using webview, and when I want to stop the music , I just load "about:blank".I want to keep the flash file running (music) when my app gets paused (which works fine so far) the problem is when the app resumes, pressing on pause button launches a new webview instead of changing the link in the previous one and the sound doesn't stop.the only solution I found was to kill the process and restart the app, but that's not practical, any idea of how to still be able to use the same webview when resuming the app ?
Update: guess I wasn't clear enough, I have a webview widget stated as "gone" , I only need the audio form the flash file I'm running in the webview so the "play" button loads a URL that contains the flash file (so the user only hears music, and doesn't notice that I'm using a webview), when I press the back/home button the music doesn't stop (I like it that way) but when I go back and press on play again it loads another url in a new page, you get double music
EDIT: Due to the answer I change the code posted. I've added the Security.allowDomain("*") line and that line throws me an error. So, how can that be made?
I want to run an Action Script 3.0 Application into a Flex Application. To do this I've done the following:
I have recently uploaded my flex applicaiton on server, it works fine on my system (localhost) but on the production server it tries to access[URL]..which is not available and end up showing "loading" eternally.
I want to make a local application with flash, to watch in the upper side a movie, and in the lower side a pdf. I think one thing I can do it's to embed external application like acrobat reader to watch pdf, but I have no idea how to do this.
Creating a simple video for embedding by importing a video into flash creates a separate swf for the controls. Is there a way to have the controls embedded in the main SWF, so you don't have to worry about paths to the control swf?
can a movie clip which is loaded from an external source control the main timeline? For example I have a set of buttons contained within a movie clip which is loaded externally onto my main timeline...can those buttons direct the swf to a specific frame on the main timeline? Also...is there any way to load an external movie clip into a specific LAYER rather than Level?
In my Flash application users must be able to download or open PPT files nested in application's subfolder.When I run .*swf file, it works fine (Save file dialog appears), but if I run .exe file, nothing happens.[code]I suspect that "navigateToURL" function doesn't work in this case.
I'd like to know if it is possible to control an application with one's voice, using AS3. My project is an application that will be use a some kind of remote to control the various systems (domotique) in my house; the apps can be use with the buttons (way1) and the voice (way2). For example, I enter a room, wants to turn the lights on (they have the proper equipment of course). I have two choices, I either press the button for lights on the pad on the wall, or say something like "Lights ON" or whatever.
I'm testing a full-screen Flash application. My preference is to drive the process with Java and I've had a lot of luck with the java.awt.Robot class. I'm looking for ways of modifying the test's behavior while the app still occupies the full screen. So far, I've found one "outside control", the caps lock key. If I see the process go horribly wrong, I turn on caps lock. Toolkit.getLockingKeyState notices that caps lock is on, and the test is terminated.
I need additional ways to change test operation, like "pause test" and "next test case." It looks like I could use num lock and scroll lock, but my tests need to run on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, so I can't count on having those keys. This is a small operation, so it's ok if the method isn't refined. But not as kludgy as overloading the caps lock key with 5 different operations. I have no internal control of the application; I'm supposed to "test" just like a user.
as3 is new for me, but i would like to write a script using loader to load an external swf, and control the external swf. But I find I can't control the swf, because there are no fixed instance name. here is my script.
My client has approx 12 different presentation .swf's all with a beginning, middle and an end (phew!). I need to build an interface that views those 12 individual presentations as thumbnails on a single page and allows my client to click and drag whichever ones they wish to use into a separate little container above and in-doing so create a new required running order (left to right) each time they use my interface... so that once they have decided that running order they can somehow use the result for their required presentation. They will be using this interface ongoing throughout the year for various presentations all that will require maybe just a few of those individual swf's in different orders.
I am trying to create a Colorpicker control for my application. I prefer pure actionscript. Does someone know how to create a picker like this: [URL] Most interestingly I am interested how to draw the gradient because the gradient has a saturation,
I am trying to manipulate (move up and down, enable/disable and launch a form) child controls inside a panel control. However I am unable to get the id of the child control on which the click event occurs. To illustrate, I am trying to create similar functionality as is available. I am trying to create the up-down buttons that you see in the image at http:[url].......
I'm trying to control a Flash video player with external Javascript commands using 'ExternalInterface.addCallback' but I'm not having any success. Here is the HTML code:
I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?
