I have bought a flash template in which I want to incorporate into another movie but I need to remove the preloader and button control. So in other words as soon as I preview it, it should play automatically without first seeing a preloader or having to click on a button to play the movie.
View 3 RepliesI have some code for a button, I'm trying to remove the onRollOver and onRollOut functions and have it automatically play the button effects. What do I need to do to just have this automatically play?
Code:
//default size
sizeTo = 100;
[code].....
The stop button plays as expected. The play/pause button plays as expected. The issue is when you press pause which will cause the play button to appear, then press stop. the video automatically plays and it shouldn't. I have bolded the control button script for convenience.

if it would be possible to control time through ActionScript. What im mean here is that if, let say a certain effect just finished and i want to wait for 5 sec before it automatically jumps to the next specified frame i want to play. would this be possible with AS?? or other techniques maybe?
View 1 RepliesI have the following code
var loader:Loader = new Loader();loader.load(new URLRequest("gallery.swf"));loader.x = 20;loader.y = 75;
gallery_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,addGallery);
function addGallery(event:MouseEvent):void
{ addChild(loader);}
Fine up to here. I need to remove the loader when another button is clicked because the loader remains on stage.
I tried the code below (just used on 1 button for now but I have 5)

i successfully managed to work out the loader script, and load a external swf file into my current project. Now that its working and all is well, i realised that only way to get back to 'main menu' was to close the whole thing. I tried to sort it out with a simple 'back' button but no success there. As mentioned in the title thats the options i found so far but cant seem to quite understand them tbh. I just want it to work so that I easily can manouvre back to 'main menu'.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to accomplish two things:
1) Have an swf file automatically start buffering as soon as the webpage loads, without it also auto-playing the video.
2) Implimenting a 'youtube' style play button which will manually start the playback (regardless of how much of the video has been buffered).
P.S. I'm using CS4 if that matters. I have a pretty solid html/photoshop/video background, but flash is almost entirely new to me.
P.P.S. I'd like this to be compatible with older versions of the flash player as well, if at all possible.
i have a menu, that is triggered by an .as file, and a xml file. under the xml file i have this:

and under the main fla i have this for frame 5 (frame 1 plays it fine...i have imageLoader instead of loader for frame1) var loader:Loader = new Loader();loader.load(new URLRequest("about.swf"));addChild(loader); i also have a stop after frame 1 script.
I want to put some control on play button of flvplayer component in AS2.0.How this can be done ??How I can call play button: I don't know how it to be referenced/its name.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to load a movieclip and have it be controlled by a play and a pause button. The load works good and the code for the play/pause works.
I need the "test2" file to load the "ball_mc" file and then I should be able to play and pause the ball as it runs across the screen. I think I need it to be a swf file also, but Flashkit won't let me upload that type of file.

I am using CS3 with Actionscript 2.0I am trying to get a play / pause button to control a movie clip.I have placed the MC on one layer and the button on another layer.The button works great.All I need is the AS to control the timeline of the movie clip.
View 1 RepliesSo this is my code so far:
on (press) { // Gives your movie a button functionsgetUrl("http://www.astahost.com");}
on (rollOver) {this._alpha=100;gotoAndPlay("Scene 2"); }
[Code]....
when i play the movie, it plays scene 2, however, scene 2, which is in my flash document, plays automatically. how can i stop this? is there some code which only makes scene 2 play when called for and not play automatically.
Say I create a new timer:
Code:
var seekTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,5);
seekTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, seekTimerHandler);
seekTimer.start();
Now that will run 5 times. Does it automatically remove its event listener after 5 times?
In the submit form I'm having a text field for to enter a username.How do automatically remove any spaces between characters in the username field?
View 3 RepliesWhy and when? Because I addChild to the stage 1000 times but only removeChild 800 times, and even so, stage.numChildren returns to 0 after all my objects have exceeded the stage boundary. I have to mention that I am moving objects from left to right (it's a game) and the object's X and Y properties eventually exceed the stage boundaries. Does something happen automatically then??? Like... events removed or something like that? This is a continuation of this thread of mine, where I initially thought addChildren has issues: [URL].

View 1 RepliesLately I've found myself constantly writing removeEventListeners everywhere, which makes code quite messy. I know it's a best practice and such, but in general it has no sense. Garbage collector should handle such a simple task by itself, shouldn't it? Is it that hard to remove all listeners automatically when object is set to null?
So I just want to be sure if that's the case. Does setting an object to null, automatically remove all attached event listeners? In my case scenario is like this - I create an object and attach bunch of event listeners to it, then after a while I need to re-initialize this object. Of course setting this object to null is much easier then unbinding every listener by hand. And on most part listeners are anonymous functions, which means that it's not possible without code refactoring. When I simply re-initialize a variable with new I do not get duplicate listeners and such, but I'm not sure that it's previous value, along with all the listeners gets garbage-collected. Is it?
I have a flash file with frame labels, home, profile, contact.it also has 4 separate photogalleries, gal1, gal2, gal3, gal4 also in frame labels. the galleries are all separate swf files. I used the UI loader and added gal1.swf and 3 more separate loaders for the rest of the galleries. What happens is after you select the first gallery the mouse becomes invisible because the loader is still on the stage. How do I remove the loader from the stage each time I use a button?
View 3 Replies[code]I've marked two locations where this fails in the function pause(). I'm new to Flex/Actionscript/Flash. From what the error says, I assume that from the function, I cannot clea/remove the child loader, because it has a different parent. If I am correct with that, how do I know what the parent is?[code]
View 10 RepliesI have been given the task of converting a macromedia application to a web app. It seems the application begins with the shell.swf once the exe is started. I have experimented with embedding the project's different swf files, and one thing I've figured out is that entire project works without the exe if the the shell.swf is somehow started. I've been opening and running the shell.swf with CS5.5 flash professional. *I do not have the source project.
This leads to my question. All of the swf files of this application autorun when embedded into an aspx, except the shell.swf, which appears to be the directing file of the application. How can I get this shell.swf to autorun from an aspx load event? I pretty much need to mimic the Flash Professional's play button. This is an interactive application to educate young people about the Buffalo river, and it is somewhat robust. I am almost certain that once I can get the shell.swf running on a webpage, the entire app will run it's course.
I have been working with AspNetFlash, but I have not been able to achieve the desired effect. I need to get this running so the client can utilize the program over the next few months while I am re-writing the application to store user interactive data.
I am wondering what the best solution is to this problem. I have on my main timeline a movie clip (emptyMC) that I am loading my external SWFs into and I need to be able to access this loader movie clip from my menu, which is it's own movie clip on the main timeline. As it stands, when I have my buttons on the main timeline I have no issue. But once I put these same buttons into the menu MC I am lost as to how to "get back" to the loader on the main timeline to load and unload the external SWFs.Here is my current code that allows for me to load and unload with buttons on the main timeline. Is there away to modify this same code for my purposes?
PHP Code:
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

I'm loading a swf with the AS3 Loader class. It's being done from a main.swf that has nothing but a preloader display. The content is all in the swf that I'm loading with the Loader class. It's working. But the swf's playhead seems to be already 40 or so frames down the timeline once it's displayed on the stage. So I want to tell the loaded swf to gotoAndPlay(1) after the preload is complete in the relevant handler. The handler fires, but I don't know how to access the swf in question.loader.content returns a DisplayObject and trying to talk to it with MovieClip properties throws errors. I've tried to cast it as a MovieClip based on various things I've seen via searches here and in the docs, but that's failing, too.How does one do this the "right" way?And for that matter, why has the timeline already started to play before the swf is visible on stage?
ActionScript Code:
private function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
// what can I do to take _loader.content and make it accessible for a gotoAndPlay() or some
