Javascript :: Flash - Properly Loading And Seeing Everything?
Jul 28, 2011
I have a form that loads from a request through a zip code widget from another page. THe widget populates two of the form fields immediately, on submit, on the new page.My problem is that I have a pretty complicated piece of flash on there as well that has ONE main issue.My flash is essentially a pie chart that lights up on mouseOver events and onClick events in the form check boxes.It works like it should except for the fact that on initially loading the page the javascript will not see the pre-populated check box and perform the corresponding highlighting action.This only happens in fields that are populated through the widgets, if a user checks the boxes it works fine as I have an onClick event handler attached to it.I wrote a preselect function that will determine if the field is preselected or not by a widget and then pass that on down the line to highlight it correctly (which it does as long as I have the alert functioning). Now, if I add an alert inside of the script (it doesn't matter where, as I've tried them in every function) it works like it suppose to and sees the fields that are populated immediately by the widget and highlights the corresponding field as it is suppose to.Why would an alert box be the only thing keeping this working. It is the simplest of alerts, but removing that breaks my code.Here is my code:(I placed three * on either side of the alert that I am talking about)
YAHOO.namespace("SOME.Place.QuoteRequest");
/**
* @projectDescription SOME.util.QuoteRequest is the namespace for all quote request related functions. This is a supplemental controller for quote request pages.
* @return (object) function executes automatically when parsed and returns references to it's public members

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?
I'm using the method described in the link to implement a crossbrowser tracking with flash.Everything is working fine when all pieces are together in the same server, but for deploy, i really need to add the swf from our central server, to another different one. Just to simplify this is my html in :
So I made a flash that uses a preloader, then once finished loading mc1 should be visible and playing along with a couple buttons. It loads properly most of the time, but maybe 10% of the time mc2 loads instead of mc1, no buttons are visible, and mc2 isn't even playing (refreshing the browser makes everything work properly btw). Is there some way I can make it load properly 100% of the time?
Ive been having trouble with Flash Player for quite some time now. I can watch some videos, but it takes some struggling to get them to work.
For example, on NFL.com, I can't watch any videos by clicking "Play", the video will just grey out and remain that way forever. However if I can find the video on the list underneath the player, sometimes when I click on the thumbnail the video starts automatically and I can watch it.
On Patriots.com things are a little worse. The player controls underneath the video don't load at all and I cant watch
How would you defer loading of other graphics on the page until after the images in a Flash gallery's images.xml file are finished loading?Is there any way to detect for this, or would I only be able to check if the flash swf object is finished loading? I'm pretty sure the swf object would be loaded/ready as with document.getElementById('flashobject').onload = function(){}; before the corresponding images have loaded though, instead of after.
I am experiencing a very weird issue with both jquery2flash players,this is how i am callin flowplayer:[code]this is how i am calling jwplayer:[code]The problem is that in both even if you click on the play button, the video will start but the play icon won't hide Also, in flowplayer the player will add an extra instance of the video (or at least the sound) each time you click the play button.I am really not sure why this won't work as expected, what am i missing here?Also, the volume controls won't work.URL....
I'm using swfobject (2.2) to load blip.tv videos. Everything was working fine with their old player, but now that they have switched to the stratos player, it fails to load properly in IE. It shows a grey video window, with the play button half showing on the left side, and the button won't work.
Here is my js code:
function loadBlip(videoFile,width,height,cssID) { var blipSWF = "http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/stratos.swf"; var expressSWF = "/lib/js/swfobject/expressInstall.swf"; var attributes = {
[Code]......
The file that I pass to the loadBlip function looks like: [URL]
Again, this works fine in FF/Chrome/Safari, but fails in IE.
for some reason, whenever I dynamically load a swf on a $(document).ready() by writing to a div, I am unable to make javascript calls to the browser. Specifically, all calls to the browser return "null". This does not occur when embedding the swf normally on the page load, but I would like to prevent loading of the swf until a specified point in time.
What the heck is going on here? Is there something special about dynamically embedding a swf that prevents the swf from talking to the browser? The methods ARE called (I've proven such by showing alerts), but all return values to any function, regardless of type returned, shows as null when it gets to flash.
i'v edited this page over ftp from a normal pc (without developer tools), wich i can't install here.Can anybody see me why the swfobject isn't loading?
I currently have a photography website that calls a javascript file from the html page. there are nine galleries of photos and this javascript file loads all the images as soon as the viewer lands on the page where they can select the galleries.
my problem:
the photos load in order from top galleries in the list to bottom, which fits most viewers' patterns (from analytics). however, if a viewer clicks a bottom gallery and wants to see a photo, they have to wait till all prior photos are done loading.
here is the url [URL]
instead, what I would like to happen is that whenever the user clicks a gallery, the swf calls for a javascript file to load the images of just that gallery. right now I have a few on(release) commands.
I'm loading XML, but I'm having trouble making a for loop so that I can output into text fields my xml info.I use this to load and put into the output window. Eventually I will put it into a text field.What I want really to do is for flash to output a list. This is what I want it to look like.
PHP Code:
var newsXML:XML = new XML(); newsXML.ignoreWhite = true; var output:String = "";
[code]....
If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different TOURNAMENTS. What I want is to have them all in a list.
I am currently working on a Flash game. In order to ensure the user experience is consistent, I tried to specify the swfVersion and called "swfobject.embedSWF()" using the following code segment.
PD.prototype.loadGame=function(){ var flashvars=this.bootData; var swfVersion = "11.0.1.152";
I decided to use a loader method for a flash project. When I load swf files from a folder on my computer into my main movie, it loads just fine. However, when I try to load the same exact swf files from a remote server, the script fails on me giving me an error like this: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Com@2f949bc9 to Com.I had imagined that this was due to security domains, so I had tried something like this:[code] SecurityError: Error #2142: Security sandbox violation: local SWF files cannot use the LoaderContext.securityDomain property. file:although everywhere states it should work.I even have makeshift class files for those SWF's on the server with Security.allowDomain(["*"]);
I'm using swfobject to dynamically load a flash object into a div, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to display a loading animation until the flash object is ready for display? In this case, I'm loading an embedded Issuu object, and you can see an example of Issuu loading via swfobject here. Depending on your connection speed, there is typically just a blank white space while the flash object loads, and it'd be great to indicate progress with a loading animation if possible.
Is it possible to "read" a text from a website that is updated from javascript like currency-quotes on this website directly from flash/AIR?It would be very time consuming to load the whole website each time. Therefore it would be nice to interact directly with the javascript.

If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different Tournaments. What I want is to have them all in a list. I also want to have scrolling bar.
I made a simple slideshow type viewer for a client. It works wonderfully for me in OS X using Safari and Firefox, and it works in Firefox under windows as well. Linky Now, the guy writing the backend stuff for the site uses windows, and noticed that when you navigate *away* from the page, and then go back, the images don't load. In IE 7. He sent me a screenshot using some http debugger.
Screenshot So, we figured we'd use a "cache buster" in IE. I made the flash append "?<RANDOM_STRING>" when requesting the images, but it doesn't seem to do the job. The HTTP debugger shows the request occurs, but Flash never actually receives the image. Here's the entirety of the class "SlideshowImage" which is responsible for loading the images ( and other junk, like photo credits, etc ). Hopefully somebody with more AS3 experience can hit me with the proverbial clue stick. I've been writing AS2 for a long time, but AS3 for only the last 6 months or so. I've never seen these problems in AS2, so I assume I'm doing something wrong in AS3.
A final note. I know that the XML file which describes the slideshow is being correctly loaded, since I can see the correct copy overlay and other factors. It just appears that the images never come down the pipe.
I found a script which loads text from a TXT file. Now the code worked fine on a button, but as soon I put that code on a MC it doesn't load the variables properly. That meas; I don't any script errors, but the text doesn't appear in the dynamic texterea. Code: on (release) { loadVariables ("document1.txt", ""); mytext.scroll=x } Now I want this script to work on a MC!
I want to build a web page with a button that when clicked opens up a javascript layer and loads a flash player inside that layer. And that layer would need a close button.
i have a small requirement. like i am currently working on a games website in which whenever i open the game a flash preloader needs to open first and hide the game file while the flash preloader loads. once the flash preloader completes its loading then immediately the game content need to display. i heard it can be done using javascript,ajax.
I managed to get the swf to load fine on this page (www.diamondraindesign.com) until I added a full-screen invisible button that goes over the slides. It uses the same counter to sync with them so that whenever someone clicks on it they go to the proper page. Unfortunately, now only the link works to the first page item, and sometimes I can't even see the slides 'loading' text, just a white background. If I take the link button out, the slides are fine. Why is the link interferring, and how do I get it to sync and not stop the slides?
as you see in the swf you first have to switch with "aankomende optredens" en "gespeelde optredens" before you can read the aankomende optredens text... why? i just want it to load immediately, so you can read it... without having to read "undefined"
Code: optredens = new LoadVars(); optredens.load("optredens.txt"); optredens.onLoad = function(){
[code]...

I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.I'm using Flash CS4.
Is it possible to make desktop Air application by using HTML/JavaScript and Flash?Actually I want to make an Air app (which is for desktop) by using flash and want to use HTML , javascript and CSS as well.Is it possible ?
I have and swf. named "headlines.swf" that uses xml and loads txt and images located on a server. And I have another swf. named "loader.swf", this is empty, and only contains an empty movieClip and emptyMc.loadMovie ("url.to.headlines.swf"), and is located on another server. So none of them is being viewed local. When viewing the "loader.swf", everything that is made in flash in headlines.swf shows, but nothing of the txt and images from the xml. I have googled, but cant figure it out.
