I'm compiling a SWF using FlexSDK 4.1. I am not disabling any tab functionality. Swf is being embedded with the following via swf object:
swfobject.embedSWF("Main.swf", "flashcontent", "984", "550", "10.0.0", params,flashvars, attributes, "expressInstall.swf");
Expected outcome when tabbing is to see "yellow boxes" on all items with click events. I don't see anything all browsers. WMODE is 'window'
I'm having difficulty setting up the tabbing of some textfields after I disable and then re-enable the tabChildren property. Has anyone found a solution for this? I'll use a very simple example. I set the tabIndex of all the textfields. I test it out and the textfields tab properly. Then I set the following pseudo code to a button which will disable all the textfield tabbing in a particular MovieClip ("mcForm") and then one line later, it re-enables the tabbing:
mcForm.tabChildren = false;
mcForm.tabChildren = true;
However, the expected behavior does not happen. I expect that when I click the button, there would be no change in the tabbing, but in actuality the tabbing of the textfields are now disabled. It's almost as if the 2nd line of code that re-enables the tabbing has no effect.
In my flex application I have several pop ups, when a pop up is opened the application is disabled and enabled back when the pop up is closed.Is there way to get application's enabled / disabled event and perform some activity like hiding a display object.I know, I can get open and close event of the pop up but I don't want to write it for all the pop ups and pay for maintainability.
PS: I am using PopUpManager to create pop ups.
I've written a little video game in Flex that runs in a browser. The player moves by pushing the arrow buttons on the keyboard, so I need to capture those keystrokes. In fact, the game action starts when the player presses one of those keys.In order to capture the keystrokes, the Flash/Flex application, not just the browser, needs to have the focus.How can I ensure that the application has the focus? I've implemented a bit of a hack: A "Begin" button you must click to start the game. The only point of this button is to ensure that the app has the focus.
View 2 RepliesI'm making a VERY basic Jeopardy game, and I need buttons to be disabled after being clicked on once.
Oh, and I'm working in CS3, but I'm using AS 1&2 because that's what I learned... I have no idea how to use AS 3...
example: frame 1 has btn11 in it. btn11 when clicked takes the person to frame 2. when done with frame 2, they click on return.
the return button (btnReturn1) has the following AS
on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Round1",1)
btn11.enabled=false;
}
the problem is that it works at first - the button disables when I get back to frame 1, but the next time I click a different button then return to frame 1, the first button I disabled isn't disabled anymore.
my actionscript so that my disabled buttons stay that way no matter how many times I come and go from the frame? or if you have a better way to do it, that'd be great. basically, it's like the jeopardy screen, and after "songs" for 200 is clicked, I don't want it to be clickable again at all.
I am implementing a charting tool for my project, which is very similar to Google's finance chart but much more tailored-made to meet different requirements. The charting interface is made up of the following core components:
Time selection panel: to change the time span of the chartMeasurement points panel: to select different points of measurementChart area: to display the measurement data of the selected measurement points over the selected time span
For example, the Apartment's power administrator can view the total power consumption in Unit 101 of Building A, in the Pacific Apartment's complex (a made-up name). Similarly, the administrator can also "stack" up charts of multiple measurement points, having an all-in-one view like below:
Only the chart is implemented in Flash/AS3, the other panels are JSP, JavaScript and Dojo. When an user clicks on a measurement point to add a chart to the chart area, the following things happen in order (briefly):
User clicks on a link (say, Total Amps)Dojo event listener attached to the link picks up the mouse click eventThe Dojo event listener calls an AS3 method (addChart) through the External Interface to add a chart to the Flash chart:The Flash chart picks up the method call, adds a chart to the stage and reposition all charts on the stage. Since the stage height is fixed at 600 pixels, each chart added will be fitted into the 600 pixels. Eg, 1 chart on the stage = 600 px/chart, 2 charts = 300 px/chart, 3 charts = 200 px/chart...etc.This is what the Flash chart looks like, when 3 charts have been added, before display the chart on the actually page (see below) Once a chart has been successfully added to the stage, Dojo will stretch the <div> tag that the chart resides so that each chart still "looks" like 400 pixels tall. For example, 3 charts on the stage means each chart is 200 pixels tall, but Dojo will stretch the entire <div> to 1200 pixels, making each chart look like 400 pixelsThe above step is the same concept as resizing the stage When an user adds more than 7 charts, the 8th chart will start have Flash contents disappeared. To be exact, I used firebug to increment the <div> height, and found that when height exceed 2924 (a magic number) pixels, Flash contents start to disappear. See below (the red-boxes indicate the missing contents)The situation gets worse when continue to add charts, eventually half of the bottom chart will disappear.
Some pre-work I have done:I have unit tested this component in standalone Flash movie, with 3 LCD monitors totalling 4000 pixels in height. I produced 10 charts in a single flash movie, and then resized the window from 600px to 4000px, no charts disappear. This happens in all of IE7, IE8, FF3+, and Chrome. Although slightly different manifestation, but they all have contents mysteriously disappeared. This also happens to GOOGLE's finance chart, when you enlarge the chart's <div> to over 10000 pxs (yet another magic number) The funny thing is, however, when a graph has been cut in half, the visible half is still operatable. For example, if the zoom window as been cut in half, I can still move it, zoom in and zoom out.
How to remove a carriage return that's inserted mysteriously by flash. I have a text input box and it auto adds a enter key press carriage return.

On my application I have a login form. On application start, I want the focus/selected one is set on the user id textinput. I tried normal setFocus method and didnt worked. How can i make it work?
View 1 RepliesI have a simple form I created in flash and I set it up so you can tab from one field to the next. The problem is when I tab to one of the fields, a multiline textbox, it starts on the second line of that field. If I click on the textfield it goes to the 1st line.
The code is pretty simple:
_styleLibForm.tabChildren = true;
_styleLibForm.first_name.tabIndex = 1;
_styleLibForm.first_name.tabEnabled = true;

the following code all works with one exception the scrollbar doesnt scroll the text
createTextField("resumeText",50 ,-220,-150,430,300);
with(resumeText){
html = true;

I am working on this website and I decided to add some flash to the front page in the form of a little image gallery with a nifty slide effect. The problem is this. For some reason its squishing my images. When you look in the scripting you will see that I've set the image width to the full width of the stage, but when you test the movie they are getting squished to about 3/4th's the width of the stage (ive double checked the image size as well).
View 5 RepliesWe've been trying every trick to fix a problem with long lag time in video startup in some environments. In particular, there's a long time gap between the time the custom .swf skin appears and the video starts to play. Only some combinations of OS for the FMS server and client browser shows the problem, but for those combinations it is consistent and appears to be a constant of approximately 59 seconds, regardless of the length of .mp4 or number of times played in our custom .swf. (Our .swf accepts a supplied file location for the .mp4 to stream.)
On our main server (Win2008R2), we run a virtual machine that has Win2008R2 installed. If you click on the video URL from a Mac Safari browser on MacBookPro, the load is FAST (a few seconds). On the other hand if you click from IE on any Windows machine (VM or native, Win7 or WinX), the load is SLOW (one minute). If you try locally on the server virtual machine with the FMS and web server (IIS) installed, the load is also SLOW. The reference flash video (i.e. NOT through our .swf) loads FAST. [code]...
Observe the Flex program below (I'm using Flex Builder 3 w/ 3.5 SDK). The second combobox is conditional on the first. If a 'first name' is chosen, then you are allowed to choose a 'last name'. If 'none' is chosen, then you are not allowed to choose a last name, but rather prompted to choose a first name.
To see the mysterious issue of the disappearing labels, run this program and choose a first name. Then choose a last name. All is well. Then choose 'none' in the first combobox. The prompt of the second combobox changes back, and the last names are removed. All is still well. Then try selecting a first and last name again. You will see that after choosing a first name, the last names do not appear, although the spaces for them do (and if you debug the program, the correct data appears in the dataprovider).[code]...
I have a dynamic text box and 5 MCs that trigger eachother in turn. The end of MC1 would then trigger the start of MC2 so they go round in a loop. Each image fade tells a dynamic text box to say something different about that image.But one bit of text causes the text box to stay STUCK and display only that text from then on. It got so frustrating that I had to create a fresh dynamic text box for each corresponding MC... but then I realised that when we finally loop back from MC5 to MC1, it wants to again display the stuck text!Get file here.Stuck text is "Monitoring Migration Routes and Settlements" - notice it when the whole movie loops back to the start.I made a little green box appear just to prove that the offending MC had actually stopped and wasn't looping somehow.
View 5 RepliesThe problem is: When I press my buttons twice, the text in the scroller disappears.Everything is set so that It shouldnt be possible to press the same button twice though.The situation in short is as follows. I have 4 scenes and 4 buttons, every button linking to respectively another scene / page. The buttons all are in movieclips. I have 4 different movieclips all containing all buttons. For the page movieclip the-button in the movieclip getsœswitched o by ungrouping it and so on, and so on.On every scene I put the movieclip, with the correct button switched of, on top, with thenction. The other movieclips are made invisible by the visible = true˜delete this.onEnterFrame; function.Im not a develloper but a graphic designer. Dont know much about AS2. I bought the photoslider and textscroller on FlashDen and thought d finnish of this project pretty quickly, but I thinking m almost there" for already many hours now.

Here's the thing, I'm making a flash game that uses some pixel techniques like copypixels, bitmapdata, etc.
Im planning to offer the game to FGL (Flash Game License) and I read that they doesn't not allow wmode, and many other portals do the same.
is my game taking advantage of wmode=gpu?.. how can I run my swf file and disable wmode for sure?, I just want to know if my game will run smothly without that wmode enabled.
Does anyone know how to do this in AS3?

View 2 Repliesran into a sticky situation the other day where a douchebag anti shockwave moron showed me our shh doesn't work: we obviously detect if flashplayer X.X exists and we do print some html mirror accordingly but for some, idiotic I might say, reason, if it is there and it is disabled, the detections still return true - well who the heck wants to know that then, ah? totally a case of sour grapes I might say - yes, it is there, but yeah well it's useless...
so anyhow - web's full of gr8 workarounds for detection etc... is there an actual proper reliable code to detect no flash, even if it's disabled?!
was going through the free trainings offered by them. The trainings were good but what surpried me that even though the videos are Flash based, they are not stored in the browser's cachewhich also uses Flash for videos, where the videos are stored temporarily in the browser's cache, this was not in this case. The following is the link for one of the video training which I played on my computer but I was unable to find any trace of it on my local hard-drive:I guess, if the videos are played, then there must be some temporary storage allocated in the hard drive. There are two questions I would like to ask:
View 8 RepliesI know how to detect if Flash player is installed in a browser. I'm using the hasFlashPlayerVersion() function of swfobject for that. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to detect if the plug-in is installed and just disabled. I didn't see any documentation in the Flash Player Detection Kit that checks if the plug-in is enabled either.
View 4 RepliesI've got a parent SWF that loads in a couple child SWFs. Even though my browser cache is cleared -- it's disabled, in fact -- reloading, or even restarting, the browser doesn't trigger the newest version of the child SWFs to load into the parent SWF. I can even delete the SWF off the FTP server, and it still gives me the last version that was up there.
What's caching the child SWFs, and how do I force them to refresh on my end? I'm not too concerned about the end user, because once the site development is over, the SWF files won't change very often. (They're all loading in XML files that have the cache disabled via PHP cache control and expires headers.)
I'm primarily using Firefox on PC and Mac, but it seems to do the same thing on IE/PC and Safari/Mac. The PC is using my ISP's DNS, and the Mac is using OpenDNS... not sure if that has anything to do with it. The site is hosted on Rackspace Cloud.

I have a panel as a sprite containing a gallery of images (only 8 images at the moment!). Each image has mouse rollOver and mouse click event listeners, which work fine initially. Problem is, when I hide the panel using visible = false, then show it again, the mouseEvents aren't firing on the gallery iimages.
Strangely, the same thing happens if instead of using visible true/false, I move the panel off stage and then back on again.
So I've 2 buttons and I can tab between them like this:
Code:
butt1.tabIndex = 1
butt2.tabIndex = 2
Simple. So now I drag a combo box onto the stage and nothing tabs anymore!
I can then set the combobox to be tabbable but the mc's don't tab anymore
Code:
combo1.tabIndex = 3
The only way around this I have found is to remove the focus manager but then only the mc's are tabable again!
Code:
_root.focusManager.removeMovieClip()
butt1.tabIndex = 1
butt2.tabIndex = 2
combo1.tabIndex = 3
the only way I can see to get all of them tabable is to use "tabChildren":
Code:
_root.focusManager.removeMovieClip()
butt1.tabIndex = 1
butt2.tabIndex = 2
combo1.tabChildren = true
combo1.tabIndex = 3
but this then makes the combox editable for some reason and if I turn it off it stops being tabable again
When using the tab key, how do you prevent the value of a combobox from being cleared when you tab thru it?I have a number of fields, when you click the tab ket, it goes from one field to the next. When you get to a combobox field, it clears it

View 1 RepliesTo allow you to tab through itemrenderers in spark you simply set hasFocusableChildren="true". However when you tab to a row/tile which is not visible, it doesn't automatically scroll the List.
