Can I play Desktop Tower Defense without being connected to the Internet?
I can load the page and then disconnect from the net but my question is if I can download the game and play any time without connecting to the net.
At the end of the movie I would like to check if the user is still connected to the Internet (they maybe on an unstable dial-up connection and lost connection). Is there anyway to do that? I mean, is there a way to check if a user is connected to the Internet using ActionScript?
View 4 RepliesI am working on a secure network in which the computers have and will never touch the internet (yes, its sad). I am putting together a series of documents in Flash while using AS2. With the system we are using they have to be embedded into a HTML page so the old fscommand is out. Also without being connected to the internet or opening these documents w/ javascript good ol' getURL("javascript:window.close()") will not work either.

I want to hold a user on a frame while flash detects if a connection is present, if not user is shown a message 'please try again' if connection is prsent button appears in center of the stage which takes the user to a URL when pressed.
I am building a Mac and Windows standalone file using flash, I need the flash file to check if the user is connected to the internet and if not they are shown a message which is on frame 2 if they are connected to the internet they are sent to frame 3.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently developing a flash game and I need to be able to test it on my local machine and also on the web. When running locally I use some dummy test data and when online it is joined to an API. While in development I would like to be able to detect where I'm running so I can switch between these automatically. Is there a way to detect this in Flash?

I play games on Pogo and have never had a problem with their Flash Games until released Daily Hot Shots. It doesn't load fully and I've done EVERYTHING I know to do to get it to play. No errors show up. I can play ALL the other flash games but this one. When I right click, the name of the site's owners do not show up....I have the settings showing though Not all of the game loads and that's the problem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling....tried a different browser and have the same exact problem. THIS GAME WILL NOT PLAY.
View 2 RepliesI'm putting an swf on a website and it's working great except for IE. (Although it works great in IE 9). In some versions of IE it will start to play then stop as if the video was never load and in others it will just go white. It works great in other browsers, just our favorite browser IE seems to screw it up (big surprise).
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a school project that will work so that a webcam can scan a grid of colors and determine what color it is and there by playing a sound that is connected to that color. You can then create music by drawing different colors on a grid.
So I managed to import the webcam image to flash, and that's all. How do I Proceed?
* How do I get the webcam to detect colors? (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and Black)
* How do I connect these color detections to start playing a sound/movieclip?
This is the code id used to import the webcam.
Code:
import flash.media.Camera;
import flash.media.Video;
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if (camera != null) {
video.attachCamera(camera);
} else {
trace("You need a camera.");
}
i'm working on desktop application that should open remote flash object with flashvars parameters.I tried with shockwave flash object library, but seems that flashvars option is not working. Also i have temporary solution with webbrowser control and making flash object filled. But webbrowser require Internet explorer with flash player installed. I can install flash player with my setup installer, but can't install flash in internet explorer automatically.
View 1 RepliesI am learning to code in flash by making simple virtual paper doll games. My most recent works fine in Safari and Chrome, but in IE gets the dreaded "a script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash to run slowly" and either refuses to load or plays everything immobile and blinking.
The game can be seen (or not seen, depending on browser) here: [URL]
It seems to load until around the 20% mark and then freeze. The game also works fine when directly in my computer instead of on the web.
how to create save files for flash games. So far, so good. But here's the problem: To improve game loading performance, I was thinking of loading external flash files. Instead of building everything inside the same .fla file, I have one main .fla file, and one or two other .fla files loaded when needed.
The flash I want to load happens to be this mini computer used for puzzle solving and can unlock new applications. And this is my problem: I want to create a save file for the game -and- for this mini computer, which is an external flash file, so it keeps track on many apps have been unlocked. Save the progress from both the main game and the mini-computer. Is it possible? Or is it better to make everything inside the same .fla instead of multiple .flas?
TL;DR: Is it possible to create a save game for a flash game AND its external flash files being loaded in the same game? If so, how can I make it happen?
I'm trying to make a flash game have save files using shared objects and I'd like to keep all the data in one file with several children.
The three things I'd like to do are:Check whether the file exists (create a new file if it doesn't), then check whether to child named with text in an imput box exists, and if it doesn't create a new file (using the text in an imput box), and then set the value of that node to 0.
Then later I'd like to change that node to another number (the easy part).I'd also like there to be a way to disable the shared objects (incase the user doesn't allow shared objects).I've tried to do this myself using a few tutorials, but I could get it to work.I couldn't use the text in the input box to name the child,and I couldn't check the size of the child node to see whether it existed or not.
why this Flash video doesn't play. I checked to make sure it is in the correct format. I've tried FLV and H.264 neither of which plays. The custom play button appears and the alpha goes to 0 when clicked but the video doesn't play. It works in the flash environment and on my desktop when I dropped it into an html shell.

I'm using DirectX to develop a little game, I'm working for a way to play .swf movie in the scene. AFAIK, DirectX doesn't support flash, so I must convert flash into texture sequences. I have thought of two ways by now:
Using Direct Show. Implement a flash source filter and render to textures. But it's too complex for me to complete it.Using the OLE to draw the flash and copy the buffer to textures. But I don't know whether it can work and where to start.
I need to capture a video of my flash game while I play it - is there any free software that I can use?
View 2 RepliesI'm making a platform game, and the game runs perfectly fine as a swf, as long as Flash CS5 is installed. It won't even work if CS4 is installed. When the swf is played standalone, or embedded in a browser (tested on multiple machines). The collision detection does not work well, and the play simply falls endlessly. Has anyone experienced their code messing up somehow when run in similar situations that could provide some insight?

the game can save the name, score, and the specific location of the character,
or maybe im thinking of a checkpoint or a savepoint.
ive read some articles about shared object, and im thinking on using it, but i really cant get it.
I am looking at the SharedObject class. Just wonder if I am at the right direction?

the question is,a client which can use "rtmfp" to connect to a FMS server,and the connecting success,Whether Can not guarantee that the client can play the Multicast video? because the client may be behind a Special firewall So he may connect to the FMS server ,but can not use P2P to connect to the members those are in the group?
If the answer is "yes",Whether i should make a check function that make these client back to "RTMP"?
I'm looking to create a flash game eviroment where a client's members can play each other in a realtime environment. Mostly trivia question type things, and maybe some shared animations. I've done this over RTMP before with a host that also provided video streaming, but I only need the Shared Object communications this time. does Shared Object communication take just as much resources as video to support?
