In firefox everything works just fine, but in IE it doesn't. I tried several things but just cant get it to work. In the beginning I also had the error; swfobject is undefined - saying I had something wrong with the javascript thing. I think I fixed that now, but still the movie is not getting loaded.If I go to the page and push the right mouse button (middle of the page) it say: movie not loaded.

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
With swfobject 2.2, how do you specify the desired version of flash you require? I need flash 10, but swfobject won't perform an upgrade install with the provided expressInstall. swf in the swfobject 2.2 distributable. How do I get an upgrade install to occur for flash 10?
View 1 RepliesIm trying to load a flash movie using swfobject which I have been successful in doing so however the flash movie takes a few seconds to load I wanted to show a simple loading animation however the animation never displays. I commented out the code that embeds the movie and found that the animation does get displayed.
$FlashWrapper.html("<div id='PopUpLoader'>" + "<img src='images/PopUpAjaxLoader.gif' alt='Ajax Loading Gif' />" + "<p>Loading...</p>" + "</div>").flash({
swf: 'Panos/Test.swf',
width:'920',
height:'500',
allowFullScreen: true
});
I am developing an animated homepage for a Flash-HTML hybrid website, and for the sake of standards, my solution is proving difficult.
Here is the run-down:
For Flash users, HTML page loads a variable-height AS3 Flash movie that will start at 556 pixels high, and after finishing its animation sequence, tween via Actionscript + JavaScript to 250 pixels high.
To kick off this movie sequence -- (below-left) -- I am attempting to set the initial height of the Flash movie via MooTools, so if users do not have Flash or Javascript enabled, they will see the shorter-height image area with alternative image content and HTML content revealed (below-right).
Element.setStyle sets the height just fine until swfObject runs, at which point the movie collapses since I am not specifying a height via CSS. If users do not have Flash, it defaults to the height of a static image.
So here is my question: Does anyone know how to dynamically pass a height variable to swfobject when it is set up to width/height @ 100%? Am I killing myself for no reason trying to work with two page heights?
Image Sequence: Left - Initial Flash movie with HTML navigation below Right - Resized movie at the end of the sequence with HTML nav & content below, looks the same as no-Flash version (static image)

I need my flash to appear in front of the background on this website [URL] it loads but its entirely transparent. I need the content to be visible and the background of the flash to be invisible. Here is the flash itself: [URL]. How do I leave the content visible but use the website's background? I'm using swfobject
View 1 RepliesI have a full screen flash movie that loads and displays correctly in firefox and chrome. In IE, however, it displays at 1/3 the width. The embedded code is relatively simple:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
[Code]....
IE respects the height, but I would really like to use 100% height. What could I be doing wrong?
Tested in IE 8, Windows XP, Flash Player 11, SWFObject v2.0
I have come across a problem where an SWF that I've developed has to be loaded by another SWF that pans and zooms the inner swf. I have created these two MovieClips to demonstrate my problem, I've called them Inner and Outer. These are the document classes for them:
ActionScript Code:
package inner
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
I dropped a button component into the stage of the Inner.fla file and named it btnOne in the properties window. The Inner.fla runs as expected on its own. When I include code in the OuterClip class to instantiate an InnerClass variable it complains thus:
1120: Access of undefined property btnOne.
So I can see that there is an issue here to do with linkage ?? I've tried quite a few different settings but feel like I am just guessing and have been struggling with it for a while. In my final scenario the outer file will have timeline and actionscript frames with no document class. Is it ok to mix these two methods of scripting?
I'm trying creating a flash navigation bar that can be edited via a simple text file. I'm able to load my different variables properly but i also want to give the user the ability to remove links. I can simply leave the variable from the text file blank and and have the text in the swf disappear but i also want to be able to set the alpha of the movieclip behind the text to zero when the variable is left blank. Alternatively, even if the user could simply set the variable to the string "Blank" and both the alpha of the dynamic text and movieclip would change to zero that would be functional as well. Here is the code i have so far.
NavLoadVar = new LoadVars();
NavLoadVar.load("navigation.txt");
NavLoadVar.onLoad = function() {

One movie, named Gallery_1, with hotpots via which external swfs are loaded into a container mc of the main timeline of the Gallery_1 movie,
Via another button function the Gallery_1.swf is loaded into a container mc on the timeline of the main swf, which works alright as well, but when one then clicks the hotspots of the Gallery_1.swf one gets following error message:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable GallerySite not defined.
at HotSpot1/PictureLoad()
at HotSpot1/PictureCall()
[code]....
The traces in the eventHandler function work alright.I wildly imported all relevant classes I could think of, e.g. the GallerySite class to the WebSite class and vice versa, and tried various variable definitions, but am at a loss by now as to where to define the GallerySite variable.
I have been trying to get my style sheet to load for 3 days now and I have to say I am at my wits end, does not help that I am a newbie. I have built a flash site at[url].....
I have an action script (3.0) that when you click on a link it calls content to slide in from the left and then clicking on another link the old content slides off and the new content slides in. I have been trying to get style sheets working with my xml which are now working in the editor but I cannot get my style sheet to load in Flash CS4 and Action Script 3. I could not figure out where to put the css code in the action script so have been loading it separately on frame 1 in my movie.I keep getting "1120: Access of undefined property" My code is
//init TextArea component
mover_mc.html = true;
mover_mc.wordWrap = true;[code]..........
To make this a little more complicated I have a layer called content which contains a movie clip called mover_mc and inside this I have a textfield called myText. This is set to be dynamic and multiline. My stylesheet is called sample.css.I load up to mover_mc or the actual text field and when I see examples that have MyCSS do I change this to the name of my style sheet.If I change the stylesheet object to
//Create a new style sheet object
var sample = new myText.StyleSheet();
var sample.load("sample.css");
myText.styleSheet = sample;
I then get an error - 1086: Syntax error: expecting semicolon before dot. I have attached my XML action script, CSS file and one of my xml files as well.
Attachments:
home.xml (612 bytes)
sample.css (653 bytes)

Why is when I trace my "xmldoc" object undefined after it's loaded successfully? I don't get it???

I created a about_mc, which works like a button. The button is placed on stage1. When I click it, I want it to call another movie from the library and play it. So code inside the about_mc button on frame 1:
var dynAbout = textAbout();
addChild(dynAbout);
It works fine up to here.
Now I would like to access the dynAbout, so I will add name to it:
dynAbout.name="dynNameAbout";
Then accessing it like that:
MovieClip(parent.root).dynNameAbout.x=300;
When I test it, I get the textAbout() movie added to the scene1 and its playing, but it pops up with an error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

I'm working with three files. Main.swf which contains navigation.swf in a blankmc, empty mc called mcContent where navigation sleclected materials are loaded.
In the navigation.fla here is the code
[AS]trace("now defining global");
_global.loadFile_str = strPicName;
trace("global defined as");
[Code] .....
When I do a trace of loadFile_str in the first frame of monthlyreports I get a undefined. I have tried trace(loadFile_str) and trace(_global.loadFile_str). I also noticed that if I define the global on the main movie (it maintains the global variable, the navigation fla will not overwrite it).
I have installed Flash CS4 upgrade successfully with Flash CS3 full. I have also installed Flash CS3 full and then CS4 upgrade, but it made no difference. I cannot test an example that uses sound.extract() method. When I test the movie, I get an error message stating "Call to a possibly undefined method extract through a reference with static type flash.media.Sound".
View 4 RepliesI'm new here and it's been a while since I've used AS I'm trying to create a MC inside another MC
[Code]....
The code mostly comes from a tutorial I found where the demo works fine. Just my code seems to not stand up to the test
I've assigned a custom property (baseX) to a mc so as to use it later for positioning, but after i use MovieClipLoader.loadClip my custom property is returning "undefined".
Code as follows:
Code:
stop();
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbHolderR1C1",4); //Main Picture
thumbHolderR1C1.baseX=Stage.width-(2*thumbWidth)-(2*thumbBorder);
[code]....
the loadClip actions do not take place until a few seconds after they are called, as the image needs to load first.
Okay, so i have a bunch of simple shapes in movie clips... THen, i have "levels" that are each in their own movie clip... Sometimes in the levels i have to instantiate these random movie clips on the fly and create multiple instances, so ill just do something like
[Code]...
This works great..but... in another movie clip now on my "level 2" movie clip I literally take the same exact code, that worked in level one...But now it will not work in this other movie clip.... I get this error whenever i try hexagonOne = new hexagonOne(); or ANY other shape movie clip i try to instantiate. Symbol 'lvl1-2', Layer 'Layer 2', Frame 1, Line 99 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method hexagonOne. I don't understand because it worked fine inside the other movie clip, which is just like this one...It makes no sense.
I'm trying to use the scroll pane component for the first time, and I've spent most of the day getting nowhere. Based on my experience with other components and with loading content into movie clips, I expected that I would point my scroll pane to its content and be off and running, but that hasn't happened.

I am making a flipping page book in flash and have had to create sections in different movies because it kept crashing when i tried to have all the pages in the same movie. I have 3 movies 'page flip4', 'pageflip4-2', and 'page flip 4-3' . I have used the code below to go (flip bacwards) from 'page flip4-2' to the frame label ''backflip'' in 'page flip4'..This works fine
Code:
on (press) {
loadMovieNum("page flip4.swf", 1);

Is it possible to target a loaded movie within the main timeline and stop sounds in that particular movie only?
View 4 RepliesI'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,
I have an external swf (sub.swf) that loads into my main swf. The external swf has buttons of its own...that I would like to use to load additional external swf's in its place. I click on the buttons and nothings happens.
My current code is as follows:
All of the following code is in my main.swf
================================
//Location where the external SWFs will load
var Xpos:Number=18;
var Ypos:Number=10;
[Code]...
External swf has no code except for a stop action.
I pieced this current code based on various articles I've found on the net.

Greetings. I've been doing this tutorial. [URL] And worked pretty well. In order to adapt to my needs i made it a movie with a drag and drop parameter to be loaded in another movie (with loadMovie or loadMovieNum). The problem is than the movie loads, drags but doesnt drops. Even i tried with the example movie and nothing happens.

my problem is that i need to make a reisze, cause the screen resolution for other users. My main and news movie works perfect, but the others movies re-scale everything bigger. The problem of the external loaded movie is: this movie needs the funktion:
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
If i dont have this code inside the movie is not going to resize fullscreen into the main movie. Inside this movie im scalling photos and some mc's You can take a look what i mean under: [URL]
If you take a look to the bar where the Number of pictures (30) are you will see that the lower bar and the pictures is not going to scale to fill the full screen if i delete the this code;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
