Flash :: [CS3] Embedded Swf Not Showing Correctly After Reloadng Scene

Font Not Showing Correctly
I'm trying to work with a particular font (alt gothic) and it is not showing correctly in Flash. It works in other programs. I'm on a mac (OS 9) and have ATM deluxe (v4.6.1). I have also tried putting the font files into the system folder. What's happening is the font shows up and looks good while editing it (on the white background), but when I click off of it to work on something else it changes from correct look to a garbled mix of letters and numbers and spaces.

I read on Macromedia's site that MX has some font issues when working with ATM but I can't seem to figure out if that's it or not.

Thanks for any help.

Flash Movie Not Showing Correctly
Ok I uploaded a flash movie and embeded it into html, and the movie shows up but it looks weird as the purple box that initially comes up is correct but the rest of the movie should be purple also.

when you open the file by itself everything works like it is supposed to adn all of the colors match.

I also noticed that the loader does not come up, check out the template on how its supposed to look for an idea.

Dynamically Created Text Not Showing Correctly?
hello,

I am trying to attach a dynamically created textFiled to a semi transparent Sprite container. However, the textFiled is not effected by its container's transparency value.

here is the code I am using:

Code:
var cont:Sprite = new Sprite();
var script:TextField = new TextField();

var formater:TextFormat;
var msg:String = "value";

public function Main():void{

script.embedFonts = true;
script.mouseEnabled = false;
script.text = msg;

formater = new TextFormat();
formater.font = "arial";
formater.size = 36;

script.setTextFormat(formater);
cont.addChild(script);

cont.alpha = .5;
addChild(cont);
}
as can be seen, I am experimenting with the embedFonts, but that not working for me. When set to true, the text doesn't appear on the screen.

Any idea how to get this to work?
Thank a lot.

External Txt Into Dynamic Text Box Not Showing Correctly
Hello,
I've been HOURS dealing with this and I can't find a solution...

I have a dynamic text box, and I want to show into it different texts (loaded from external txt files) depending on which link the visitor clicks.

It's weird, because if I copy-paste text inside the textbox, it's everything all right and it's displayed OK. But if I load the text from the external file and then do something like:

Code:
myText.text=loadedtext.Content
Some characters are missing. I thought that the problem was that I use acents (the text is in spanish) and the font I'm using doesn't include them, but I have embed the characters missing and if I copy-paste the text directly to the textbox, everything is displayed OK!

I don't know why this is happening, it's weird, even some characters after the letter with an acent are missing. I've tried formatting the text in html, or changing the missing characters to their url code, but I get nothing.

Does anybody have a clue on this? Thx.

Embedded Font Not Showing
Hi,

I have a movie clip that contains a dynamic text object.

I have a linked class that sets the value of the dynamic text field in the movie clip.

If I embed the font and test the movie, the text is blank, however if I don't embed the font then the text appears.

Any suggestions on how to embed the font and get it to show properly?

Javascript Nav Showing Under Embedded Flash
I have a left nav that "flies" out on a page. Also I have a bulletin swf that sits to the right. When you mouse over the nav and it opens, it is doing so behind the SWF file. Is it possible to move it forward?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Large Dynamic Text Not Showing Up When Embedded
I'm using Arial font at size 55.

When I don't embed, the changed text shows up but there is no anti-aliasing, even though I have it set.

When I embed the font, it looks good until I try to change it, then it doesn't show up at all!

Anybody know how to make it work?

Mask Not Showing Embedded Html Text
Hey all,
Simple question I hope.

I have a dynamic text field that calls from a text file. The text file has html mixed with it with something like this:

Equipment: Custom Fender American Standard jazz bass in sonic blue with pasive pickups Custom Modulus Q6 bass in pink over blue with active Bartolini pickups Furman Power Conditioner Zoom BFX708 Multi-Effects Processor 

When I mask I cant see the text, when I embed the font I can see the text minus the text in html tags, i.e. - Equipment: 

Essentially everything in tags are just headlines that are a different color

I have the html set to true and the htmlText set to the variable called in.

any ideas on how to fix that?

Flash CS3 Embedded Dynamic Text Not Showing
Using Flash CS3, AS3:
Font: Arial, Size: 55, Anti-aliasing turned on.

When I don't embed the font, the text that I change will show up, but it is not anti-aliased.

When I do embed the font, the text won't show up if I change it, but if I don't change it the text looks much better!

Flash Not Showing Up When Embedded With Document.write()
Hi,

I have two Flash files on a page. One is a side bar with links and the second one is an image gallery that gets an XML file specified via FlashVars. Now, the side bar is embedded like this:

Code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="200" height="565" id="sidebar" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name=FlashVars value="xmlfile=../flash/sidebar.xml">
<param name="movie" value="../flash/sidebar.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="../flash/sidebar.swf" FlashVars="xmlfile=../flash/sidebar.xml" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="200" height="565" name="sidebar" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
while the gallery is included like this, using javascript:

Code:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.write('<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="650" height="450" id="main" align="middle">')
document.write('<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />')
document.write('<param name=FlashVars value="' + getCategory() + '">')
document.write('<param name="movie" value="../flash/main.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="../flash/main.swf" FlashVars="' + getCategory() + '" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="650" height="450" name="main" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />')
document.write('</object>')
</script>
Both show up correctly when I run it on my local server (WAMPServer) but when I copy this to my website, the gallery (the one embedded with the Javascript bit) won't sjow up. There is nothing, no Flash file, no "broken file" placeholder, no nothing.

Please, can somebody advice?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

CSS Controlled Embedded Font Not Showing In Browser?
Dear Sirs

I have embedded a costom font in library, exported it to first frame and have set it up with a CSS file. The textfield are fed from XML and are set to HTML and embedFonts = true;.

Now local testing works fine, but when uploaded to server and tested in the browser the costum font are ignored and the secoundary machine font are displayed...

How on earth? I'm really pussled

Loading Scene Not Showing Up
okay, I made a loading scene and this seems to happen everytime in my flash movies...I taught myself so I think I may have missed a few small details.

My loading scene has this code in it:

mainPercent = (int(_root.getBytesLoaded() /_root.getBytesTotal()*50));
mp3Percent = (int(_root.mp3.getBytesLoaded() /_root.mp3.getBytesTotal()*50));
_root.Percent = mp3Percent + mainPercent;

if(_root.Percent == 100){
_root.main.loader.gotoAndStop(2);
gotoAndPlay(4);
}
else{
_root.main.loader.loadingScene.percent.gotoAndStop (_root.Percent);
play();
}

The loading scene doesn't show up until the first 50% is loaded(the actual flash movie).

Which leads me to believe that the loading scene isn't loading first, but I don't know how to make it work right.

The URL is http://www.luciddesign.us/version2

Please, help me with this problem I'm struggling with!

THANKS,

Showing Only Part Of A Scene
I'm realitivly new to flash and while trying to learn I decided to make a simple game. I planned on making just a simple `level` consisting of blocks as walls, etc. How would I be able to make something like this, but only show part of it, depending on where the games `character` is located (just a circle right now). As the user moves the circle around with his keyboard or mouse more of the level should appear in the direction he is going and, obvisouly, should disappear in the direction he is leaving.

Showing A New Scene From The Very Top Of The Page
Hi all,

I am new to here and will really appreciate your help and support.

My flash file which

1, includes 2 scenes, Scene A and B, and

2, on Scene A, i have some buttons which will link to different frame of Scene B. In addition,

3, The buttons are at the bottom of the page (which means one needs to scroll down before they can see and click on those buttons)

The problem is
1, when i click on those buttons and jump to a certain frame of Scene B, all i can see is the bottom part of Scene B, instead of seeing it from the very top of the page. To make it worse, Scene B has very short content, so after clicking, user actually see a blank page (which is not true, because all the content is at the top of the page). As a result, they need to scroll up in order to see that content. But it's so confusing, right?

Can anyone here help me out? Thanks a lot!

Scene References Showing In URL
Hi all,

I have a 5 scene movie that runs on my home page. The ref' number for each scene appears at the end of the page URL in the address bar, as if each different scene were a separate page (separate URL):

For example, http://www.mydomain.com/home.html#s1 (. . then #s1Out, then #s2, then #s2Out, etc., as the movie plays through its five scenes).

Google bot is seeing this as duplicate content, even though I have only one true home page.

Any idea what's causing this? How to fix?

Thanks for your help!

Showing Percent Loaded Of A Particular Scene
PLease can someone tell me what I need to change in this preloader script so that instead of showing the percent of the total moviw loaded it shows the percent of Scene 1 (say) loaded.
textPre is the text box.
Here's the script:

onClipEvent (load) {
textPre = " ";
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
textPre = _root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal() * 100;
if (_root.getBytesTotal() == _root.getBytesLoaded() ) {
textPre = "done";
}
}

Do I need to change the _root to the scene1 somehow?
Thanks

Navigating To An Embedded MC In A Diff. Scene
I have tried so many different scripts and codes but I can't get from Scene 2 to my MCframe ("actAds"), that is located within a MC(whoContent) in Scene 1.

I really thought using this code would work but it just doensn't. what am I doing wrong or missing:

on(release) {
_root.whoContent.gotoAndPlay("actAds");
}

so "actAds" is the frame label I am targeting that is within the "whoContent" MC, which is located in frame 1 of Scene 1. and the script above is an action for a button located in Scene 2.

any ideas??????????
thanks.

Problem With Showing MovieClips From Another Scene To Parent
Hi!

I'm creating a game.

I have 3 scenes:
- loader (for reloader, runs only once when movie is loading)
- intro (here you have HighScore, new game, ...)
and
- index (Here is all the game source)

When I play the game first time, it all works fine.
But when i have Game over, i have in actionscript to go to the "intro" scene.

Here is a problem:

When it goes to "intro" scene, few MovieClips (from "index") are shown in this scene.

I am using levels and _global variables.

I/m using " swapDepths() " too.

Help me please!

Bye!

Dynamic Text Box Showing Scene And Frame?
I have what may be the world's biggest flash file (60+ scenes w/over 2500 frames per scene). It's a logic tree for business processes, and it's become quite unmanageable. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to use a dynamic text box to display the scene name and frame number/label that the movie is stopped on?

Thanks,

Automatically Stop Embedded Video When I Go To Another Scene
I have a movie with two scenes, each scene has a video. When I go from one scene to the other, I want the video in the previous scene to stop playing. But when I go to the next scene, I can hear the video playing from the previous scene. How can I automatically stop the video from the previous scene, when I go to the next scene.

Jumping From Scene To Scen With Buttons Embedded In Movie Clip
I could do this in Flash 4 but it isn't working in Flash 5. I'm trying to get from scene to scene with a button that's embedded in a movie clip. In the first scene the movie clip begins to play and the button appears. I want to be able to click that button and move to the next scene.

Here's my code:

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay ("scene2", 1);
}

What am I doing wrong here?

How Do I Code For A Movie Clip With A Button In It Embedded In The Main Scene?
This should be easy for any one who designs websites in flash.

I have a movie clip embedded in my main timeline that appears after an animation sequence happens. In this movie clip is button that changes color when you rollover it and links to an email address. Pretty simple.

I am not sure how to correctly code the actionscript for this. So far, when you rollover the movie clip and try to click the button, the whole movie clip flashes.

How do I tell flash to point to the button embedded in the movie clip?

You can see the god awful mess I've created online at:

http://www.espavoproductions.com/flash_site.swf

Look at the CONTACT button to see what I am talking about.

Please help. I would be so very grateful.

Dynamic Text Field Not Showing Embedded Text

Controls Not Showing Up On Page, But Showing Local And Via Direct URL. Why?
Hi everyone,

I'm new here, but a Flash guru I work with said this was the best site for Flash questions and answers.

My understanding of how FLA, FLV and SWF files communicate with each other is somewhat limited, but I get the general concept.

I turned an 11 minute video clip into a FLV file and it looks great (320x240, 30 frames, good audio settings). I then brought it into Flash 8 and chose the clear control overlay and then saved the FLA, the main SWF and the control SWF. I have all four files. All in the same folder. Locally, and on my web server.

Here's the catch. If I double click the SWF file locally, or enter the URL directly, I see the control bar. If I access the page where the SWF is both Object and Embedded, there is no bar. Because I can see the bar locally in Flash Player, and with three browsers (Firefox, Safari and Opera) with a direct URL to the main .SWF video file, I know the coding from Flash 8 was solid and the files are communicating properly. Therefore, my hunch is that I need to add a line of HTML or swap out some parameters in the page source. I see no settings in GoLive (which I know pretty well at this point) that reference controllers or secondary SWF files; i.e., the control bar SWF.

The file is both "embedded" and an "object" when I put it into the HTML layout in GoLive.

Any idea what I did wrong? I know it's one of those simple settings somewhere, but after eight hours of going back and forth, saving and resaving, I'm pretty frustrated. My web software is Flash 8, Flash Player 8 and GoLive CS2.

Any guidance is appreciated. This one stumped my Flash buddy too.

Thanks to all, and I hope I gave enough info. I usually tend to type WAY too much stuff!

Dynamic Textfield - Embedded Font - Embedded Characters Problem
Hi everyone,
In AS in flash 8, i'm doing the following : a font "Garamond" in my library,creating a textfielda textformat that is used on my textfieldi define the characters that should be embedded...
This last point doesn't seem to work...
This is my code (you can also check my fla) :

--
var myFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "Garamond";
myFormat.size = 20;
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";

createEmptyMovieClip("myContainer",10);

myContainer.createTextField("myText", 11, 0,0,400,500);
myContainer.myText.border=true;
myContainer.myText.autoSize = true;
myContainer.myText.html = true;

_root.myContainer.myText.embeddedCharacters = "ęąłńśźćóĘĄŁŃŚĆŻÓ";
myContainer.myText.htmlText = "test characters : : ęąłńśźćóĘĄŁŃŚĆŻÓ" ;

myContainer.myText.selectable = false;
myContainer.myText.wordWrap = true;
myContainer.myText.embedFonts = true;
myContainer.myText.setTextFormat(myFormat) ;

--
I was also trying with the following :

myContainer.myText.useDeviceFonts = true;

But without problem (otherwise I wouldn't email here, huh?)

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong that my embeddedCharacters don't seem to work?

Thanks in advance!

How Do You Define Which Character Set Gets Embedded With A Font Embedded In The Library (i.e. Korean)?
I have project that uses a shared fonts. The fonts are all contained in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's library and are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.

The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from external XML files. The text is formatted via styles contained in a CSS object.

This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different languages.

Everything works great with one exception: I canâ€™t figure out how to set which character set gets exported for runtime sharing. i.e. I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean characters, change the XML based text to Korean and have the text display correctly.

Iâ€™ve tried changing the language of my OS (WinXP) and re-exporting but that doesnâ€™t work correctly. Iâ€™ve also tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutes) as outlined here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000211.php
but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menue.

Iâ€™ve also tried the method outlined here:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275
to no avail.

I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to embed language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in the library but I have yet to discover what it is.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Tween Not Showing, Only Key Frames Showing
I have a tween of a panel that comes into view on rollover of a button. The panel is of course masked, nothing out of the ordinary, and indeed all worked fine up until about 10 minutes ago.

Now i cant see the tween, i only see the panel when it is fully extended - rolloff the button andthe panel does not slide away as it used to with a tween but instead just disappears.

Does anyone know why this would happen.

I have been working with Flash5 for the past 9 months so am not a novice, but i have never encountered this before.

It is really weird, if i view the movieclip within the library window, everything plays fine, however out on the stage i only get the key frames of the animation.

Any views?>......

Difference Embedded And Not Embedded Font
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had the same problem I did.. I'm using a font called DS-Digital (free font) in one of my movies and well if I don't embed the font and use the textFormatter to determine my dynamic text width then everything is find, however if I use the embed font feature and determine it's with the same way then it's about 5-10 pixels smaller, which causes the text to display incorrectly..

Is there a way to fix it easily. Right now I just add 25 pixels to the textFormatter width just to be sure the font is displayed properly, but I hope there will be a different solution for this problem..

Thanks for any help..

Embedded Video + Embedded Cuepoints
I am using embedded video with embedded cuepoints.

When i put setBufferTime on 0 the cuepoints of the flvmovie will be readed good, the right moment.

If i put setBufferTime on 10 or 20 than the cuepoints will be readed 10 or 20 secs faster.

Somebody known of this problem?
And have a workaround for this?

I am using Netstream connection.
(not the flvPlayback or mediaPlayback component)

Won't Change Scene...neither With Actionscript,neither From Scene To Scene
I have a big problem...why won't my movie change from my intro to scene one...I built my intro, i built my scene one but it won't skip from one to another. At the begining i had a loop problem on my intro,and it would never go on to the next scene,and now even if i build a new page it won't change to another scene either....HELP PLEASE!!!

[F8] Flash Site, Multiple Scenes, Button Moves Scene To Scene Instead Of Navigating
Hi...I am very new at flash, so forgive my ignorance in advance...I really really need help!

I created a site, separated into scenes (intro, main-home, about, portfolio, press, contact).

About half the time the navigational buttons work fine. However, the other half of the time one of the buttons, the Press button, instead of bringing me to the Press scene, just moves scene to scene (for example, say I'm on the home page and I want to go to the Press page, it just goes to the about page...I hit the button again it goes to the Portfolio page, etc.). I think the problem lies somewhere in bypassing the intro prematurely (you can skip intro and go straight to the site/home-main scene), but I'm not positive.

Here's the code for the Press button:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("press", "pressframe");
}

where pressframe is the name of the first frames in the Press scene.

I can upload the fla file to my own site for download and review if necessary....

Please help!....I am losing sleep and hair over this.

Embedded Fonts Vs Non Embedded
I am in the process of learning flash inside and out. During the testing phase of my design site I noticed that some of the text appeared very thin and hardly legible while other text was bold and vibrant. I checked the settings of the fonts to see if it was a Bold character setting issue but the fonts that were vibrant and thick had no Bold character setting at all. After many hours of comparing the different text boxes on the screen I realized that some of the text box had the embed font option on. This makes text less vibrant. Atleast it did with the particular font I used. Is it possible to cut down on memory while embedding the fonts and still have vibrant looking text? Try making several white text boxes on a black background with some of them being embedded and others not and you will see what I mean.

Best Regards,
Sam

Targeting Frame Label In Scene From Movie Clip In Same Scene
Hey Pals,

I'm trying to target a frame label on the timeline of a scene from a movie clip within the same scene, using Flash MX 2004 Pro. The scene is ultimately used as a .swf to load as a page of a website. The frame label is called "miscOn", the scene is called "misc". The below code is attached to a button within the movie clip.

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("tajwebsite_main.swf",1);
gotoAndPlay(miscOn);

}

Thanks!

Simple Gotoandplay - Animate The Scene Out Before Playing Selected Scene?
Hey there again,

Just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction.
Before, when I made full-flash websites, when I clicked a button I'd have it gotoandplay frame 60 or whatever (or scene 2 or 3 or 4 etc.) and that page would start up there and have a nice little animating intro but it would be a very abrupt start because anything on the previous page would just disappeer jaggedly.

But I've seen a lot of nice sites, that once you press a button, it'll clean up the current scene, say have everything burn out or fade or or something instead of just having the next option just appear, then go to the selected page. Say they clicked News or Contact, and they were on products. It would allow me to have a timeline to animate all the objects out (just a simple tween) then once it reached the end and all the objects were out, it knew which button they pressed and where to gotoandplay.

This is probably easy actionscripting (or not, I have no clue) so it would be greatly appreciated if someone could direct me, thanks!

Scene 2 Works Fine, But When Preloaded Added Scene Will Not Work
I have a website at wosso.com which I needed a preloader. So currently the site works fine. I am toying with a preloaded, but when I add it the main part of the site does not function.

There are two scenes, PRELOADER and SCENE 1. My preloader includes this script in the first frame of the preloader: ifFrameLoaded ("Scene 1", 105){
gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", 1);
}

I have also inluded this line at the end of the preloader, but also tried it without this line:

gotoAndPlay ("Preload", 1);

I haven't used Flash in some time and I am not good at scripting. It seems to make sense, but why is it not working when SCnene 1 works fine by itself.
Any sulotion/suggestions?

Thanks,

Wayne

Scene -> Object? Turning A Scene Into An Importable Symbol For Other Projects

I want to be able to import it as an object so that the animation loops for as long as I need it to in the other project.

How do I do this?

Sound Plays From Next Scene, While Playing In Current Scene?

Button Relase; Play Curent Scene And Go (scene)
I need a bit of help, and its hard to explain. I have a menu that consist of 6 buttons on Scene1. I want to be able to click on a button and play scene1,frame37, then after it finishes playing I want it to move over the designated scene from the button pressed.

//This is what I currently have which makes the button play the ending of the scene.
on (release)
{gotoAndPlay( "scene 1", "fadeout");
}

//I need to finish the actionscrip by going to a different scene after it finishes playing the current scene. This is for all the buttons.

Example:
Button1 needs to play "scene 1", "37" then go to scene 3
Button2 needs to play "scene 1", "37" then go to scene 4
(any button) to Play "scene 1", "37" then go to (scnen asign from button)
and so on.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Buttons Aren't Going To Correct Scene, Just Progresses To Next Scene :(
Anyone ever have the problem when your buttons have the code to jump to a specific scene, they just jump to the next scene on your palette instead?

For instance, I've got 6 buttons that I need to operate as a normal HTML site. So I programmed each button to jump to the corresponding scene with...

Code:

on(release) {
gotoAndPlay("fine, frame1");
}
In this situation, that button needs to jump to the scene "fine", but instead, when I click on it, it simply jumps to the next scene in the scene palette (which isn't "fine").

Interestingly as well, once it scrolls through all 6 scenes (by clicking on any button 6 times), it starts over with the first scene again.

Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Changing Form Preloading Scene Into Main Scene.
hi all,

i've got a problem i can't figure out. i'm working on my website in flash. this is how i will do it:

http://www.auto-i-public.ch/adi/aresthetics.html

now, you see the letters cercling around in the upper left corner. all is well. now i created a preloader (there will be heavy stuff on it...maybe even shockwave files). i chose to do it with a new scene. it's a basic one. bar filling up, a few dynamic texts with the status. this is working too.
but then, when the preloading is done, it jumps into the main scene. everything appears and works. but the circeling letters don't work anymore. they run on a little loop for themselves. it's actually the only loop i have on my mainline. the rest is in mc's. i even tried to put the letters in a mc. didn't work either. it seems as the letters wouldn't initialize anymore. i checked if there are no already set variables coming over from the preloader. negative. i'm out of wisdom. if anyone could help me...i'd send the files, if nothing else helps. it's nothing really to steal.

tnx
