Flash :: [F8] Time Lock Or Password For Website

[F8] Time Lock Or Password For Website
Hi i have the following question:
I have a client i'm building a website for. However i'm not sure he will pay me everything once the project is done. So i need to make a sort of timelock, meaning i need to make the site usable for a month or so, and in the meantime, if i don't get paid, i need to have the swf disable itself.

If i get the money, i will send an updated swf with the timelock removed.

My question is: how do i do this in such a way that another young flash programmer doesn't decompile my SWF and remove the timelock once its been activated?

I though of a few alternatives, but i myself could work around everyone of them:
- one would be a date timelock, that would disable the flash once the date is november or something (easy to remove from a decompiled SWF).
- another would be an XML / PHP combo, where the SWF could check some variables from the XML, and once the date has passed, erase the XML. However, this would be another simple "if" statement to remove from the SWF
- i thought of remote linking - having the SWF read some variable off my own website and if it doesn't find it, do not play - this one has 2 problems: one is the same as above - the if statement could be easely removed. Another problem is the clients website is expected to have a lot of traffic, which i don't think my server could handle.

So any ideas, thought or suggestions on how to keep my work assured?
Thanks

Regenerate Password After Set Time
i know its easy to create a password movie clip but what about setting it up so that the password is void after say 24 hours and a new password is generated automatically.

what i would actually want if possable

the flash puts out a new password every 15 minutes and allows this to be valid for 24 hours.ovecourse the previous passwords would still be valid for the remainder of the 24 hours from when they were created.

maybe i would have to input the passwords initially.

any help eternally gratefull

[F8] Changing A Password According To The Time?
Hello, I was wondering if any one could help me with this problem, as I have already attempted it myself and failed.

I want to change a password in a string, at a particular hour of the day for a certain length of time and I'm using the variable assignment

var myPassword:String = 'password';

Eg. if(time > 1400 && time < 1600){
var myPassword:String = 'newpassword';
}

Obviously, the above thing doesn't work, as the time in hours and such hasn't been retrieved. But something along those lines...

The code below is the condition used for password entry, but I would like to know how you integrate time(In hours) into this.

submit_btn.onRelease = function (){ //submit is the btn
if (password_txt.text == myPassword) { //password_txt is the field
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

Thanks

Flash Website Load Time Help
Hopefully some of you flash experts can help me. I just created my first flash site for my church at medinahbaptistchurch.org. The site is mostly flash objects embedded in html using dreamweaver. The whole site is less than 1 mb but it seems like the flash objects take a long time to load. For instance, a flash object that is about 200k takes 8 seconds on a 256k connection. And it looks like crap because there are white boxes when the objects are loading. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hi all,

If you've come across www.snapple.com, then you know how serious this website is with it's integrated 3D animations.

But, HOW is it possible to integrated 3D movies with such Fast load time in Flash? Does anyone know which 3D app they're using, and how they could compress so much to result in such incredibly fast download time?

When I have a .SWF that's like 5MB in size, the pre-loader takes longer then a trip to China at Snapple.com.

Load Unique SWF Each Time Website Visited
Hi,

I had a question and have never really seen any information on this. Below is a thread that explains how to "SOLVE CACHE PROBLEMS" by loading a uniquely named swf within flash. Does anybody know how to do this in Javascript perhaps so that the visitor does not have to clear their temporary internet files to get the latest swf update? I realize the easy solution might be to just put a revision number/letter on your swf everytime you make an update. Please see below.

Solve Cache Problems when you Load a Movie
by ilyas usal

When you load a movie, variables, or a text, what you load is put in the cache of your computer by your browser. This can cause problems because if you load files, chances are that you are going to update them quite often, but Flash will look for the files in the cache, that is to say the old ones.
The solution is to load your files with a unique identifier. Example:

Code:
myIdentifier=Math.round(Math.random()*10000);
loadMovie("myAnim.swf?uniq="+myIdentifier,1);
This works also with LoadVariables, LoadMovieNum and LoadVariablesNum.

What Is That Little Lock For?
I have looked in the help, the manual, and all over these forums. I have messed with this little lock, and I don't know what it does!

Any object in flash, when you select it, in the properties, if expanded, you see in the bottom left the width and height fields, as well as the x and y pos fields. To the left of those is a little lock, which when you click on it produces two lines which move to the boxes. Presumably it would lock these values. However, this is not the case. What does it do, then?

Getting Something To Lock On The Y
lets try this again. I guess I made the mistake to try and ask too much in my last post. so I will start off with something easier. (well, at least to you all who understand it)

first one. how would I make an object stay along one path? like say, I have a box, and when I mouse drag it, I only want it to be able to move up and down. so if I try moving the box off to the side, it wont move, but up and down it will.

and if I can ask, how do I make a start button work? have it so my code and game does not start until I hit this specific button.

Swf - LOCK EVERYTHING DOWN
Guys, sorry about this, I'm sure it's been posted before but I need immediate help and I can't find this info anywhere.

What is the easiest way to lock down an exported flash movie.

Specifically dealing with published swf's I want it so that users can't resize the final output as it's basically just a video and it looks like crap when resized/maximized
So:
NO RESIZE of the window
NO MAXIMIZE of the window

that's all I really need.

Any help? Please... been so long since I used flash regularly that it's like learning from the beginning all over again.

Key And Lock Trapped Me In
This part is just background:

I have a "storte_key" mc that attaches to a "inventory" mc when you click on the "outer_key" button. When this happens, the button dissapeers( which is supposed to happen) and the item "appears in the inventory.

After the key is in the inventory:

Now, there is a "_root.complete_door.knob" handle that tells the door when it is unlocked, which depends on whether the key has been dragged
from the inventory, to the knob, and has been released yet. What should happen then is the key dissapeers and the door is "unlocked".So you click the "knob" and open the "door" (the complete_door mc, plays, revealing the next room) .

I only need to know how do the key to the door thing. I have tried the hitTest and dragOver. please help.

How To Lock .swf Size
I'm in the process of publishing my .fla file but when I open the .swf file I can resize the window, which allows me to see all of the components that are off of the stage. Is there any way that I can lock the size of the window?

I know that when you publish an html it will lock the size of the .swf file, but you need the .swf file in the same directory of the html. So is there a way to embed the .swf inside the html?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid, and thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

[F8] Lock Startdrag ?
just wondering how do you lock startdrag. because in my game, newEscape, when you scroll your mouse out of the swf file and go to the other side, the startDrag jumps through.

i am using this code

Code:
square_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
startStopInterval(true);
startDrag(this,true,32,32,268,268);
for(var i:Number = 1; i<=4; i++){
if (this.hitTest(this._root["bar"+i+"_mc"]))
this.stopDrag();
}
}

so far I made a quick fix by using

Code:
square_mc.onEnterFrame=function(){
startStopInterval(true);
this.onRollOver = function(){
startDrag(this,true,32,32,268,268);
}
this.onRollOut = function(){
this.stopDrag();
}
for(var i:Number = 1; i<=4; i++){
if (this.hitTest(this._root["bar"+i+"_mc"]))
this.stopDrag();
}
}

the fix works, but now its kinda harder to play.
see my signature for the link to the game.

thanks

[MX] Preloader Lock Up
Hello,

I'm using a preloader on my website. The preloader works fine on Internet Explorer, however when I tested it in Mozilla and on a Mac (running Netscape) there is a lockup on the preloader. The screen will just sit there and the website doesn't load. Both were running Flash Player 6 which is the version I'm aiming for. I found that if I refreshed the page the site would begin to work, but I doubt visitors to my site would do this and I don't want it to be required to get my site to work. I'm going to post the code I'm using below. If anyone out there could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated!

Heres the action script - from the first frame of my launch movie

ActionScript Code:
stop();function loadSWF(theURL, theTarget) { loadMovie(theURL, theTarget); loaderInterval = setInterval(loadChecker, 50);}function loadChecker() { loading = _root.holder1_mc.getBytesLoaded(); total = _root.holder1_mc.getBytesTotal(); percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25; per = int(percent); percentage = per+"%"; _root.loading_mc.preloader_mc.loadBar._width = per * 2; if (percent > 99) { faderInterval = setInterval(fadeBack, 50); clearInterval(loaderInterval); }};function fadeBack() { _root.loading_mc._alpha -= 6 if (_root.loading_mc._alpha < 1) { _root.holder1_mc.gotoAndStop("home"); unloadMovie("_root.loading_mc"); clearInterval(faderInterval); }};loadSWF("menu.swf", "_root.holder1_mc");

As you can see I call the loadSWF function to load menu.swf into the holder1_mc movieclip. That function then sets an interval with the loadChecker function that acts as the preloader. This is where nothing happens on some browsers (yet it works fine in IE). Any suggestions?

Thanks
