I am working on a chatting app that makes use of flash sockets. I don't want to code the entire interface in flash, so I was hoping to just use flash to talk to the socketserver and call js to modify the dom.

I have a very simple flash program that plays music. It consists of a play pause button and a timer that shows the current position of the song. I'm trying to make it possible to pause or play the song using a regular form button.

When I click the button, Firefox's error console says "Flash is null" What am I doing wrong?
I have followed the tutorial here by obiAdmin (raymond) [URL] on how to connect flash to a php socketserver. The problem is in the development environment it works like a charm but when I put the swf on my local server (wamp) it fails to connect to the socketserver.

I have a simple AIR app that listens on a socket using the SocketServer class.I have the following code when I first start up the app:
if( serverSocket.bound )
{
serverSocket.close();[code]....
However I find that if I try to test my movie after making some quick changes, I can't bind to the same address:port. I'm guessing that somehow that the port is still occupied. I get a "Operation attempted on invalid socket" error.But if I wait a bit and then test my movie, I can bind to the address:port. The close() is not taking affect. Can I try to close() this when the user decides to exit the app? Is there some sort of event that allows me to do something before the app quits?
I guess flash can talk to web services, but can one use Flash/Flex in web pages to post back to MVC Controllers (other than via javascript)?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering how to accomplish this. I have a .swf embedded into an html file with html links on the top. Within the .swf file I have a continue button that takes the user through all the frames. Is it possible to include some kind of code so that when they reach the end of the .swf the "next" link will become initiated and take the user to the next .html page. I am working with captivate is this feature in captivate? If anyone could point me in the right direction or share some wisdom it would really make my day
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a swf talk to another swf on a web page, i.e. to separate flash pieces would be able to pass information back and forth to each other on a page. I have some thoughts on how this might work, but I am curious if anyone has done this before, and or what you would think the best way off achieving this would be. Haven't found much about this topic on the web...
my initial thought would be to have flash update something like an xml file via a webservice, then have the other piece constantly look for a change in information, but that seems forced.
I'm trying to have two flash menus talk to one another via ExternalInterface, but for whatever reason the javascript function isn't being called.
I have two menus, topMenu and tabMenu. The idea is for clicking on one to, among other things, send a message to the other.

Obviously I haven't put the code in for two-way communication, but I want to get this working. As of now, clicking the button on topBit does absolutely nothing. No errors from Firebug, and the alert doesn't come up, so goBetween() isn't being called.
I was just wondering if anyone out there has had any luck trying to get a flash app to talk to either a visual basic or c++ application? I need to build a player [flash embeded into the vb or c++ application] that when the user say, pushes a button, calls a function or action from within the app. Any Idea How would I go about this?
View 1 RepliesOn my site, i have 3 different Flash Files. Each playing a different part .eg text, content,menu. (because of the design, i can't have just 1 file, plus i want 3 seperate ones~!!!)Now what i want to try and do, is have the MENU(swf1) target a scene or frame in the CONTENT flash file(swf2)So that when you click on about us button, it will target (eg.) frame 3 of SWF2, which contains that information!!ANd also have the MENU(SWF1) be able to also target frames in TEXT(SWF3)Bassically im guesisng its passing variables to and from multiple movie clips!i have no where to start.
View 1 RepliesMy client is in Flash/Flex (game with chat) and it will be talking to a Java server. What is the best way (protocol / interface) for my Flash client to talk to my server? I heard about Flash Remoting MX, but it is a request / response mechanism. I could always request something and wait for asynchronous notifications from server. Then request again, implementing something like a Comet server.Anyways, what is the industry standard for this type of communication: Flash Client talking to Java server, supporting asynchronous "push" notifications from server.

View 5 RepliesI have a preloader.swf that loads index.swf I want to be able to have some actionscript inside preloader.swf that tells index.swf to gotoAndPlay(2);Is there a way to do this. Basically I don't know how to talk to the swf inside the swf, meaning I don't know what the path would be like.This is what my actionscript looks like right now:
Code:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileLoaded);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preload);

I haven't scripted in AS3 is a while and can't remember having these issues. Perhaps it's because I've been using less strict languages like lua, ruby/php, and java that has made this difficult to get back into.
I am trying to make classes talk to each other and am using folders in an attempt to make things a bit easier for me to track.I have a document class in the base folder known as Main and right now one other class located in com/Game/ known as NewGame.as
Now the issues I am having is basically the Main.as sets up the stage. Puts on the starting buttons, interface, etc. The NewGame.as is called from the Main when the NEWGAME button is clicked. I have gotten that working properly, a few hang ups on error 1061.

I'm making a flash page with a basket movie clip that follows my mouse. The basket has a stop action on frame one so it stays there unless directed otherwise. Then I have a movie clip of a green berry that I made into a button (titled gb1). I need to make it so that when that is clicked it makes the basket go to the next frame (numbers change to show how many berries were collected). Here is my (unsuccessful) code as of now.

function followBasket(event:Event):void {
var dx:int = basket.x - mouseX;

View 6 RepliesI need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.
Is it possible to pass file names from a running Flash application, which only purpose is to enable multiple-file-selection, to a JavaScript application which handles upload of all files to the server?I have examined various Flash upload solutions (like SWFUpload, Uploadify, etc.) and none of them meets my needs. I want an easy to implement solution (like Uploadify) which also lets me specify various parts of the HTTP request.
The reason I need this is because my upload form uses session cookies (for user authentication) and an CSRF token both passed to the server when uploading files.Is it technically possible to pass filenames (+ paths) to a JavaScript application which then handles the upload?
Here's the challenge: I have a Flash movie which will be embedded in a page using an unknown DOM ID that I want to be able to identify/store for callback in a JS function. My ideal user flow would be: User clicks button in Flash. Flash pauses any animations / video / sounds / etc. Flash calls an injected JS function to display a page-covering overlay experience. When user closes overlay experience, a callback method on the Flash object is called. Flash resumes playback.
The problem is, when AS3 uses the ExternalInterface.call("functionName", args...) method, there doesn't seem to be a DOM event triggered, and thus it is impossible to tell which object called a JS function, so having a "registerMe()" function doesn't seem to work. Basically, the injected JS function has no way to determine which DOM object to call, because the ID of the Flash object is unknown.
