I'm looking for a code to stop all flash animations on a web page when this page/tab is not focused or active. Because this problem causes performance loss at any computer.
View 1 RepliesIt is a small widget. It lives in an iframe, and because of this, this method is not working. And since the iframe is loaded from a different domain there is no way to reach the top level window object.

"With the recent new 10.3 player this should be much easier, since there are new events for this specific situation."
So, using a simple flash object, and maybe js callbacks this might be the solution, but what are theese events?
How does something like this work without Flash? http:[url]....I right-clicked on it but there's no Flash menu.I love Flash because its stable and works. But is using some sort of Javascript hack for this kind of complex behavior actually a good idea?
View 3 RepliesI've a MovieClip symbol with 5 frames (let's call it the main MovieClip), each frame holds a different MovieClip symbol and each of those symbols has a small motion in them. If let's say I move to the 3rd frame in the main MovieClip: object.gotoAndStop(3);Then symbol's small motion animation, which frame 3 holds, automatically starts as I saw. So I'm thinking here do the other frames (1, 2, 4 and 5), which are not visible on stage though, are stopped and I don't need to worry about stopping each of them myself (like attaching code to each 1st frame to call .stop()) ?Because if I would now call right away object.gotoAndStop(1); it would start that frame's animation right away.
View 1 RepliesI created a Flash application that reads POST data from a form. A user clicks the button, and the data gets posted to the flash app in a new window (_blank). Now takes the data and then spins a wheel to give users a prize. If they don't win a message pops up letting them know they didn't win. If they don't win, clicking the OK button needs to close the browser window.
I've tried a number of solutions and it seems that the only way to get this done is to launch the window with javascript and then use ExternalInterface.call('window.close'); to close the window from within the Flash actionscript (3) because otherwise the window won't close (I've tried just using window.close and window.close() with no luck)
I understand how to launch a new window with javascript, but I don't know how to simultaneously launch and POST data to that window (the Flash application has to have the POST data. Is this the best solution? Is there a way to close a browser window easier than what I'm describing?[URL]
When my animations are playing in the flashplayer and you rightclick and uncheck the play command only the animations in the main timeline stop playing. All the child animations continue to play. How do I make it so they all will stop playing when play is unchecked?
Is there a event listener that monitors if the movie has been stopped?
I am a web designer and I do like to hand code using jquery however, I think it would be much faster to use gui applications like flash to create animations especially on the fly as well as support for writing and editing source code.
View 1 RepliesI'm a longtime flash animation hobbyist and I've encountered a problem I've simply never seen before. After I publish my entire project to SWF it plays as it should without a hitch, but just about the midway point of the cartoon the animations simply freeze on me. What's even more confusing is that the audio of the movie, all set to play as Stream, do NOT stop and continue playing in the proper order and that includes audio from subsequent scenes. So basically once my cartoon reaches X I can hear my movie playing normally but everything else is frozen.I'm working in Flash8 and using FlashPlayer9 There are no actionscript commands in the scene where the animations stop. The only actionscript commands in the entire project are a Preloader/Start button at the beginning and a Stop command at the very end. When I publish only the troublesome scene it plays fine. This project is actually a very long movie, clocking in at just under 24 minutes. There are a total of 42 scenes in it and all principle animations take place directly on stage, not broken down into graphic numbers or movie clips.

I have many nested movieclips in different positions of the main timeline.
I have 2 buttons, play_btn and pause_btn.
I'd like when the user click pause_btn, the animations on the main timeline and in nested movieclips stop.
Whe he click play_btn the animations resume in both the main timeline and nested movieclips.
I have created array of nested movieclips on the main timeline.
var arr:Array = new Array(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_play_btn); pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, on_pause_btn);
function on_play_btn(e:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndPlay(currentFrame);

View 3 Repliesi tried following a tutorial to create an animated button. it's not functioning i originally had the animation in frames and it worked somewhat. if you test the links_1.swf, it functions as i had hoped but if you activate the button quickly, the timing gets messed up and the animation sticks. file:///Users/GS2/Desktop/links_1.fla then i tried to set the animations in movie clips and they won't stop. file:///Users/GS2/Desktop/links_2.fla i tried including the fla files for reference.
View 3 RepliesI do slide presentations on iPad via Flex IOS packager 4.6. The slides are swf's that have to be dynamically loaded at runtime because they change daily. Can't compile them in.
My slides load fine with animations and look great - but the animations on each slide loop. I can't stop them. When I decompile slide swf's I see the stop() commands there on each one. IOS just blows by these stop()'s though (PC doesn't). Interesting that the swf's load at all on IOS. I'd have thought the stop()'s would have prevented that. They do load though. IOS just doesn't honor the stop()'s. Animations play beautifully. Can I stop them some other way? Maybe externally from my main Flex code? Is there a way to stop a Flash animation without stop()? Maybe build the animation differently? Another product I've seen has solved this issue so I know a solution exists. When they play animations on IOS they stop.

I have a Flash file embedded into HTML - the objects inside are place based on the browser's screen size.Most of the time I don't want a scroll bar, as things are correctly placed, but once the browser window gets too small it'd be nice to have it.So, the main question: can I have a Javascript code listening for the browser window, then adding a scroll bar if it's smaller than a certain number?
View 1 RepliesI have to have many small thumbnails on a page and each one needs to open up to a full size (640x480) video with controls when clicked.
View 3 RepliesI have a Flash/Flex object (Flashlight-VNC), which I would like to dynamically resize to fit the entire window after pressing a button in the Flex app. This would preferably happen without restarting the Flex app (and therefore the VNC session). I would just use the built-in Flash fullscreen mode, however Adobe's somewhat silly security restrictions prevent keyboard input while in fullscreen mode.
How exactly can I do this? I'm already using SWFObject to embed the SWF, if that helps. I am open to any solution utilizing ActionScript, JavaScript, or both, however I am not all too familiar with ActionScript or Flex, and the AS-based solutions I have found involve extending a "Sprite" object to add resize functionality, which Flashlight-VNC does not seem to use.
I have a webpage (popup) with flash content. When a user clicks a button inside the flash content, it opens up another browser popup window. Next, I need to close the window with flash content from the newly opened popup window through javascript.
The problem is that the window.Opener is null as the popup is invoked inside from flash content. Moreover we dont have access to flash (.FLA) file.
Most flash-based browser games don't seem to resize properly when the user resizes their browser window (i.e. ctrl+mousewheel). Example of bad resizing: Boxhead The Zombie Wars. Please refrain from playing for a moment, lest you forget about my question.
Some (surprisingly very few) actually do resize properly. Example (at least in Chrome): D.N.8
Is there a simple or standard technique to accomplish proper resizing? How do you do it?

If you mousedown inside a Flash element, it never registers the mouseup and it appears as though you're still holding your mouse button down even though you've let go. At first I thought it was some kind of event bubbling issue, that this method was swallowing the event, so I tried returning true (and false for that matter) but it didn't seem to have any effect.
The only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;
function clean_up()
{
var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};
