Make Navagation Bar Run On A Independent Timeline From The Rest Of The Content On Site
Nov 16, 2009
On my Flash site, I'm trying to make my my navagation bar run on a independent timeline from the rest of the content on my site. I built my navagation bar in a movie clip, because they use independent timelines. However I can't seem to figgure out how to make the buttons in the movie clip effect the timeline of the main file. Is there something I'm missing? Or am I just going about this the wrong way?

Is it possible to make text content for a site in Flash be changed/updated by someone without having to take the route of Flash? Like I have a text file in notepad, or Word and the text will automatically appear in the swf file?

I'm in the middle of optimising a site, to which end I've constructed a preloader / welcome screen. My problem is that although the preloader apparently works (as in the bar moves and a numerical "percentage loaded" value is displayed), it only appears once the rest of the site is 80-90% loaded, i.e defeating its purpose.....?

I've got a Flash file with a video symbol on the stage with the instance name 'videoPlayer'. I'm controlling video playback using the following script to play the video, check when it finishes, then resume playing the rest of the timeline:
stop();
var duration:Number = 0;
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
videoPlayer.attachVideo(ns);
[Code]....
I've then also got 2 buttons on the stage for pause and play. The pause button is working fine, with the following script attached to it:

I was working on a Flash 8 work using the Tween Class with the help from the Kirupa and gotoAndLearn() tutorials.
Here's the actionscript code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
[Code].....
Now, my problem is that when I move my mouse over one of the object, the other object also reacts. Say I roll my mouse over text2, text1 reacts as if the object too has a mouse over it. Another problem is that only text2 is showing the tween class.
I want these two instances to be independent from each other while at the same time not having to create actionscripts that is exclusively dedicated to each instances (if possible). I want to make sure that if I have the mouse over one of the instance, it will be the only instance to react.

Is there a way in AS2 to stop a child movie clip taking on the parents alpha value? I want the parent movie clip's alpha to change on rollover but not the movieclip I am attaching from library via linkage.
Is there a command out there that stops this parent/child inheritance?

With the Flash IDE, I must create an AIR project for Android mobile devices (NOT tablets): my problem is that I would like to make it resolution-independent. Android-equipped mobile devices are many and they may have different screen dimensions.
So, first of all, I would like to know if I must choose a particular stage dimension in my Flash project. Secondly, I would like to know how to adapt the content to the screen resolution and if it has any drawbacks (stretching, etc.) that can damage the appearance of the app.

I'm making a website in flash, inspired from this site : [URL]. I've done mouseover so that when you go over a circle you can see full text in the middle, but I don't know how to make the other "buttons"/circles fade white when I have my mouse over one of the circles. Please take a look at the webpage, it's kind of difficult to explain. [URL]. I'm using CS 5.5 and Actionscript 3

Does anyone know how to resize all content on the site scales relative to the browser size of the viewer. Whether it is on a Netbook or a 30 inch screen all contents to fit on? I'm not talking about the basic center resize of stage.with and stage.heigh.
Basically I'm loading a content.swf in a main.swf and from the Main.swf, I want to be able to apply the resize all content method.

I am creating a web site that will use XML to load content - a sort of video gallery.I plan to make scrolling movie clip for navigation containing instances of the single clip - "movie", which contains thumbnail, title and link, and I plan to use duplicateMovieClip to create as many MCs in navigation as needed.
But I have the following problem:I made a single MC - "movie" that takes the title, description and link from XML.I take the lenght of the XML nodes and duplicate the movie clip through the following code, where the variable j is the required number of MCs:
dist = 100; //distance of the new MC
_global.k = 0;
for (i=0; i<=j-1; i++) {
[code]....
Every of the movies get the same value of the k.Is there a way to pass the exact value to each of the MCs?

I need to make a site 100% in flash but this site has to be update by the client.So my is how to add more pages to the site with a content manager?I read the forums and i understand how to dynamic create more menus without any problem with a CMS using xml, i also know how update a specific part of the site. i mean i can create dynamic text fields and update them with no problem also using xml. Well i can update fields that allready exists on the flahs it self. but in case that my client decide to add a new menu.. it has to redirect to a specific frame where the content of that specific theme is but if it don't exist.

I m planing to create a full flash site. But in stead of jus an URL that lead the user to index.html, I wish to allow the URL to direct the user to goto specific page. It is sumthing like [URL]. note the URL, it passes parameter to the flash movie without reloading the swf. Any Idea how to create that?

What are the best practices for providing dynamic content within a flash site? I am trying to get my head around the idea and I am not sure how to think about this. Are there sites that use a graphic frontend for updating flash content? If so, what is the common way of doing this? XML? PHP+XML+SQL? etc. I am relatively new to all of this but I have been messing with Flash and XML. I can update stuff on my site by just modifying the XML but I want to go a step further now and create a frontend on the web where people could do this.

Ive been looking into whether or not, it is possible to load the entirety of site content dynamically from a text file. I know, how to specifically choose and reference from one txt file to a dynamic text block. But, is there a way to have one huge file? That is to say, can I target certain things within a txt file?

I have a full flash site which uses swfobject to embed it 100% height and width. I'm using swffit to force a browser scroll bar for pages with a large amount of content. This is all fine and works perfectly. I also have the content in HTML format, as alternative content and this also works apart from in order to get the flash swfobject to work I need to add the overflow = hidden in the CSS, like:
html{
height: 100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#content{
height: 100%;

Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.

I'm trying to create a simple banner ad where the mouse hovers over the button and a panel shows up over some content of the site.[URL]I have two different .swfs: the container, which is the button and a loaded swf that has the animation that comes up when the button is clicked. The button is only 183 x 40px where as the loaded swf is 183 x 160px.When the loader swf is loaded, it takes the dimensions of the button.
Is there a way to have the loader swf be its original dimensions, so when the mouse hovers over the button, the loader swf covers some of the content on the Web site?Also, how can I change the MouseEvent to load the SWF when the mouse is only over the button and not clicking?
The simple code I have so far:
stop();
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadBanner);

When trying to reactive an old app we noticed that embedding flash content in posts (trying both stream.publish and feed) didn't seem to work any more. Instead, Facebook decided to throw the following error message:
There was a problem with the parameters of the request. Body of an error/warning message. Title is: Invalid Request
Further investigation showed that they're indeed working just fine in "classic" profiles, but new timeline profiles were apparently unable to show the embedded flash content. Did anyone else experience this and/or knows a workaround?

I came across this interactive timeline from HP... [URL] Does anybody know of any tutorials on how they are able to expand each content box in the timeline? When you click on each box, it expands from it's location and fills the screen. Once you close the box, it shrinks back to it's original location.

can you control/access the timeline of a dynamically loaded swf? If so how?
if I use this code:
Code:
loadMovie("a.swf", "contentLoader");
how can I access the timeline of "a.swf" from the main timeline of my flash movie?

so I'm having an issue with my website design and as I'm relatively new to flash I can't seem to fix it on my own. I know what I'm supposed to do, technically, but not sure how to actually implement it.Below is a picture of my timeline:What my problem is that the buttons for navigating my pages (bio, news, projects, links, etc.) are nested inside of my Navigation MC (on the Navigation layer) and so they appear in the timeline (at frame 20) before my content does (frame 70). Because of this, the buttons can't be aimed at the content because their code is run before the content even exists.
I'm guessing that what I need to do is to instantiate my content at a point in the timeline before the navigation/buttons occur... but as the content is the last part of my loading animation, I'm not sure how to do that.I read something about adding the MC's but keeping them invisible, then making them visible again at teh appropriate time, but I don't know how to do that or if it would somehow mess with my animation (everything fades in one item after the other, with the content being the last part).

I'm trying to catch a variable content (set on the main timeline) from a movie clip added to the stage. I need to set a condition with that variable, so here's my line :
Code: Select allif (MovieClip(root).screenMode == ("full"))
But it's not working, I'm also trying to trace the variable with that command :
Code: Select alltrace(MovieClip(root)[screenMode]);
But this doesn't work too.
