View 3 RepliesWhen the web page is loaded the flash (and PHP) is going to load up a Yahoo! page [URL]and somehow load the daily Couples horoscope into my dynamic text box. If you look at the source of that HTML page, it has the following:
Code:
<b class="yastshdotxt">Daily Couples:</b><br>Intellectual curiosity helps keep you young at heart. Take a trip to the library together, or head out to your favorite neighborhood galleries.<br><br>
My question is, how do i get actionscript & PHP to load that horoscope into my text box? My current source is attached (in MX 2004 format).
I'm creating a portfolio sitethat has an AS3 Flash navigation in one div (#main-left) and what I'd like it to do is load local .html files in the div next to it (#main-right). I had gotten it working by placing an iframe inside the right div, and calling it with:
ActionScript Code:
function contactURL(e:MouseEvent):void{
e.currentTarget.gotoAndPlay("hit");

How do I put things above an mx:HTML element? No matter where I place the code it's always under the <mx:HTML> element.
Example:
<mx:Canvas x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" backgroundColor="#ff0099"/>
<mx:Label x="150" y="50" color="#ffffff" text="CAN YOU SEE ME?"/>
<mx:HTML x="0" y="0" width="500" height="500" location="[URL]"/>
<mx:Canvas x="50" y="50" width="50" height="50" backgroundColor="#ff0099"/>
<mx:Label x="150" y="50" color="#ffffff" text="CAN YOU SEE ME?"/>
When person goes to site [URL] they are presented with a different .swf file each time they visit or refresh the page - currently I have three different .swf files that can served up.
What I've done so far to make this outcome a reality: I included a javascript array in the .html document that selects one of three .swf files to present in the page. Here is the javascript:
<script language="javascript">
<!--
files = new Array();
files[0] = "crayolas_pre.swf";

View 5 RepliesIn my game, Ive got a HUD, (heads up display, life bar, points scorer etc...) and when an enemy comes onto the stage, the lifebar is appearing behind everything else, and it should really be the thing that's infront of everything else. Is there like a line of code and a function or variable I should declare or import that allows me to create depth and put my lifebar at the front.
View 2 RepliesI'm building a game that is relatively heavy. I load the essential assets before rendering the game, such as sounds, classes, movieclips and bitmaps. Now my question is... There are some none essential assets that I want to load in the background and not in the main load to speed things up for the user. But, apart from consuming the user's bandwidth...I have the feeling the animations slow down if they are running while the assets are loading in the background.
View 2 RepliesI am using two server/cliant loading things, one is the External Text MX extention and the other is the hit counter from this website.Both, when using Mozilla Firefox, do not seem to load. You can see by my URL http:[url]... that it will saw "Loading... Please Wait..." with firefox, and the hit counter will read 000000, however when you open it up in Internet Explorrer everything loads fine.
View 2 RepliesI need to allow users to preview audio files for purchasing. I have CF pages that return records form a SQL database. Each record contains the same swf file however, each swf file points to a different mp3 for previews of different audio examples. So far, everything is working fine. My problem is that I need to be able to stop the sound from one swf when I click to play a second swf .The only solutions I see in Flash forums deal with loaded swf files. These are not loaded files they are separate files within a page. The question is: How do control one swf from another swf in the same page.The following items have not worked: soundChannel.stop();,soundMixer.stopAll()

I want to have an AS3 app load images from url supplied by the user. But I don't want a malicious user to be able to load an SWF file in place of the image, such as with an altered extension "maliciousSwf.png". Well, not sure how big a security threat that is above and beyond the ability of the hacker to decompile swf, but I think that ideally such behavior should not be allowed.
So, is there any way to prevent this? When people allow users to load images in their Flash apps, do they somehow guard against loading of SWF? Or is this really absolutely no big deal?
I am making a few animated flags for the corners of my website... so I made some pretty cool ones in Flash. but HTML doesnt like the swf files... So I had the ingenous idea to make them into gifs.... But now the mask I used to make the flags comes out on top and you cant see the 'flag' part anymore You can download it here

I have a .mov movie that I want to play on my website. In years past, I would use Adobe Video Encoder CS3 (I believe that's what it was called) and would turn the file into a .flv. Then, I believe I would use swfobject and it would display with the typical play and expand to full size buttons as well as the timeline.
I downloaded the latest version of swfobject (2.2) but this only seems to play swf files.
Was just wondering if its possible to have a two swf files on the same html page that can communicate to each other.
I have one movie that asks a series of question and what I'd like to happen is for those results to be shown in the 2nd swf. Sounds simple, which means it probably isnt
In main.swf I loaded file.swf as:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file.swf");
When main swf loaded in HTML with an absolute link like:[URL].. It reports 404 error loading failed of file.swf
Because it looks for file.swf at current web host.What's the best way to do this without hard code absolute url in main.swf?
I have been desperate to find how to do this. I have found some answers to this, but nothing I can make work. The main place I have found is[URL].. and it wants to have the html docs as a template for flash. This is just confusing the issue and would rather find an example and don't mind editing and adding things by hand. I know this is difficult, at least from what I read and I don't know what I am missing. I assume the java in the html is what is messing me up.I don't have mx, so I cannot do the local thing, and need a flash 4 or 5 way of doing this. I have found some small ways of java, but I need to instruct the second movie to go to a label depending on what button is pressed in the first movie.

I've created a full screen flash website. When I test the file in flash, its all good. Now I need to put it online to show the client, but whenever I try to do this...all I get is a black screen. Even if I use Flash's own Publish as HTML option, all I see is a black screen. the code on my main timeline is like this:
[AS]
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import caurina.transitions.properties.ColorShortcuts;
import caurina.transitions.properties.FilterShortcuts;

nothing is wrong when I test the actual SWF from Flash, or even just open the SWF in windows...

In Flash CS5.5 when selecting, Publish Settings: html and swf, the html file does not display the swf from the URL after ftp. The swf file, however, does display from the URL without the html file. My work around has been to hand code the html. Is this a known issue or is there something else that might be causing this to occur?
View 5 RepliesIf someone provides me the FLV with the support SWF files and HTML page (so that the movie is embeded on the HTML page with the skin controls)...and I need to rename the movie from what they sent it as...will I also need the native FLA? Do I simply rename the HTML page to the desired link name for brand consistency on my website, will that solve the problem without needing the FLA?
View 2 RepliesI am right at the beginning but am already having an issue. I have watched Lee's tutorial over and over and I cannot see what I am missing. All the files are in the right spot adn the HTML is identical to Lee's. The problem I am having is that the URL does not change properly. The URL shows Home.html# and not Home.html#/ASU Foundation or Home.html#/Tempe The title changes in the browser perfectly but nothing happens in the URL.
Code: Select allimport com.asual.swfaddress.*;
SWFAddress.addEventListener(SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, onChange);

I wanted to know whether it was possibe to load external html files into a dynamic text field like the <iframe> tag in html and is so,
View 2 RepliesI am having a couple of issues with dynamic text. I am loading fairly simple text documents, but am ending up with some font oddness. For example, I am using plain Arial in the CSS but am ending up with words running together. In the word "Oxygen" the "Oxy" letter spacing is really tight. Do I have something odd in the CSS? Here it is:
[Code]...
Pretty straightforward so I can't figure out why things look bad. Would embedding the font, even if it's arial, make any difference? How does that work in the code? I tried using the embedFonts = true; but that didn't seem to really do anything. So I'm thinking that perhaps I should be loading HTML or something for these external text files. These aren't huge, but several of them contain listings, headline, main body copy, sub head - the typical sort of thing on would find in a text file. Is there a good primer out there as to what works with CSS and text files or different ways of getting text files into Flash?

I have 2 HTML files with embedded flash movies. One HTML file is the main area (main.html) with a flash movie called gallery.swf which has a grid of thumbnail pictures, and the second HTML file (popup.html) is a pop up chromeless window for enlarged images depending on the thumb's the user clicks. Essentially I need to pass variables to popup.html and ulimately its embedded movie enlarged.swf. These variables will basically be id's of the clicked thumbnails which I will use to locate the correct enlarged images on the server to load into into a container clip within enlarge.swf.
View 3 RepliesI am new to flash as well as actionscript. I m using actionscript 3.0 and flash cs4. I have button "Music_btn" which i want to link to a HTML file which lies in C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopgindex.html. So, this I what I have tried
Music_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, music);
function music(event:MouseEvent):void {
var url:String="C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopgindex.html";
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(req, '_blank');
}
Error Description: - 1120: Access of undefined property Music_btn.
But of no use.
I'm just wondering why my swf files won't play when I upload them along with my HTML file to the server.
The problem can be seen at the following [url]... Can't get my embedded swf files to play in HTML file
I inserted the swf in 'insert media' - 'shockwave' and the thing works when I press play to view it within dreamweaver. However, when I try to view it on a browser, either locally or remotely, it doesn't work.
