Flash :: Fscommand For Clicking Anywhere On The Flash, Any Time

Fscommand & Loading Full Screen After Clicking On A Button?
Hi Everyone,

I have an exe file (main) that has four buttons, all linking to four seperate external exe files (file 1, file 2, file 3 and file 4). I need all exe files to run full screen with no title bars or menu bars. That's fine and I have figured that out using fscommand.

My problem is that fscommand only appears to work when I open the file from my documents or whatever folder my exe files are in. If I open main.exe and then click on the first button which links to file1.exe, file1.exe does not open full screen after clicking on the button. I have the fscommand on the button and on the first frame of file1.exe. It will not open up full screen.

So how do I get my exe file to open up full screen after clicking on a button?????

Thanks in advance for any help.

Clicking Lingage Inside Library. I Think Im Braking A Clicking Record ..
I´m going crazy I have to export 773 files inside my library. All files are small sound clips. So I have to right click 773 times and choose export for actionscript. However the filenames are just as I want the identifier to be so if there would only be a command like

"Export selected items for actionscript using the current filename "

it would save my day.

If anyone know how to do this in a quicker way please let me know.

Thanks

[mx + Flash8] Different Mouse Events For Clicking Or Clicking And Dragging
Hi there,

there's something that nearly makes my head explode ...i'm in desperate need for your help

what i want to achieve is an online magazine where you can:
- flip the pages by clicken on the corners
- click on the pages to zoom in
- if zoomed in, click to drag the page around
- click again on the page to zoom out.

like in this example: http://www1.visions-weekly.de/epaper/epaper.html

what i have so far is:

as i'd never ever be able to program the pageflip thingy myself,
i bought a pageflip component from the lovely guys at flashloaded.com, so the magazine itself is set up, all the pages are in and i can flip them by clicking on the corners ...sweeet

now comes the tricky part (at least for me)

i put an invisible button on top of the book. i started with the zoom function and used the onClipEvent(mouseDown) and (mouseUp) functions. if clicked for the first time i scale (xscale, yscale) the book to 120%. on the next click i zoom back to 100%. That worked out of the box

Now i wanted to integrate the dragging. the book shall be dragged only when the mouse button is pressed ...but i didn't find a function for that. What i can achieve is either drag it after it got clicked or drag it always when clicked.

for example i tried this code:

i defined 3 variables in the main timeline:

firstclick (to monitor if it is the first click or not)
clicker (to monitor if the button is clicked right now)
dragger (to monitor if the book gets dragged)

Code:

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(_root.firstclick=="0"){
_root.firstclick="1";
}
else{
_root.clicker="1";
}
}
onClipEvent(mouseMove){
if(_root.clicker=="1"){
_root.dragger="1";
_root.mybook.startDrag();
};
}
onClipEvent(mouseUp){
if(_root.firstclick=="1"){
_root.mybook._xscale=120;
_root.mybook._yscale=120;
_root.firstclick="2";
}
else if(_root.dragger=="0"){
_root.clicker="0";
_root.firstclick="0";
_root.mybook._xscale=100;
_root.mybook._yscale=100;
_root.mybook._x=10;
_root.mybook._y=10;
}
else if(_root.dragger=="1"){
_root.dragger="0";
_root.clicker="0";
_root.mybook.stopDrag();
}

}
the zooming works but not the dragging (i presume because the dragging would start after the click not while the button is pressed.

i tried to work with listeners (for the first time) but to no avail, because if i listen for clicks or drags that interfered with the pageflip function where you click and drag the pages as well.

can some one ...pretty pretty please ... show me a better way to achieve this?

yours
Stefan

Right Clicking In Flash - POSSIBLE?
Hey guys...

I tried looking in the forum for this but couldn't find it - and I am sure someone has asked this before.

Is it possible to capture a right click in Flash? I am building some software training that replicates some common Windows functions such as RIGHT CLICKING text to bring up the Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste etc menu.

It is pretty important that users be able to use the right mouse button or else the training will not seem realistic.

Cheers

Right-Clicking On Flash?
Is it possible to set functionality to the right-mouse-button in flash?
for example, if a user right-clicks on an object in Flash, another object appears.

Flash Clicking
Hello there,

I've created a rollover effect in Flash CS3, however, if clicked, the effect goes rather 'mad'. I've included a link for you to view exactly what I'm meaning. All I would like to do is disable the click, so if the effect is clicked, nothing happens at all, the animation doesn't begin over or whatever it does. To view the SWF: http://www.freewebs.com/coxdabd/flash_help.html

I'd be very grateful for any advice and help.

All the best,

Kristopher.

Record The Date & Time Each Time The Flash File Is Played
Hello,

Do you know an action script which will be inserted into each flash
file that is played on a stand alone display monitor.
The display monitor plays several separate flash files using load an un load movie. The script should do
the following:
1. Record the date & time each time the flash file is played
2. Record the file name that played
3. Append this information to a text/log file
This application would be used in-house and is not for the web. I did check out this tatorial useing XML but I counldn't get it to work.

Saving XML to a file when used locally

Saving xml to a file when used locally can be done in two ways, the first is this:
Cookie.setCookie(xmlobj)
and the second way is this:

yourxmlobj.toString() FSCommand("save","filename.xml")

Can you Please give me some kind of direction
Thanks!

Right Clicking Flash Files
I've been working with flash since version 4. I still haven't figured out how to make it so you don't give the user the options to right click and zoom in or select a lower quality. I want my flash movie just to have it so when you right click it says that it's Macromedia Flash 6.

Right Clicking A Flash Movie
Hi:

I have a question about right clicking on Flash movies. Some movies show the whole drop down menu (where you can zoom in, zoom out, change the image quality, etc.), other movies only show "About Flash 5" when I right click.

How does one disable the right click so only the "About Flash 5" shows?

Also, why is this done? Is there a reasoning behind it? Is it better or worse to do this, or is it just a judgement call?

Thanks!

Clicking To Activate Flash?
Hi, I know this has nothing to do with flash designing but I was wondering if someone could help me with this...Whenever I go onto a website which has flash on it, I have to click it to activate it before I can click it to go to the link etc. Its the same with full flash websites, before I can click the links on it I hav to click it to activate it and when I hover over i is says click to ativate and use this control. This only started doing this about a week ago. And it is quiet annoying. Does anyone know how to stop this?

Thanks alot, Warbo

Why Won't Flash Recognize The Graphic I'm Clicking?
I'm a complete newbie to Flash. After successfully running a lot of tutorials, I'm attempting my first flash piece. I'm trying to set an action on a graphic symbol. When I click on the item and go to the action panel, the panel states "Current selection cannot have actions applied to it" and the Action title just states Action, not Action-graphic as it should. Everything works for frame. What am missing? I'm using Flash MX 2004. And it's a graphic symbol on it's own layer that's having an issue. Actually none of my graphics are working.

How To Create A Pop Up Image By Clicking A Thumbnail In Flash
i have small screenshots in my flash presentation that i would like to expand to full size when the user clicks them. what is the best way to do this?

reverting to html/javascript thinking i attempted to make the small thumbnail screenshot a button with an action like below, but it launches a full size browser window and i want it to just be the size of the screenshot.

on (release) {
getURL("screenshot_big.jpg", "_blank");
}

i don't think i want the full size screenshot to be "inside" the flash because the screenshot is bigger than the dimensions of the presentation.

suggestions?

Clicking On Flash Movies In Internet Explorer
Hello,

I have a question that I'm sure most of you will think is quite trivial.

I notice in Internet Explorer, sometimes you have to click anywhere on a flash movie before you click on any links contained in the flash movie. But other times, you don't have to click on it. I know this sounds very confusing but maybe a link to both examples would help.

One you have to click on: Example #1

One you don't have to click on: http://www.localconnections.com/ (middle of the page)

My question is, how do I create a .swf file and place it on a web page so that people do not have to click on the movie in order to "enable" it. Basically I want my movie to be like the one in example #2.

Sorry for the long and redundant post but I am hoping some of you can help me out.

Thank you very much for reading!

Flash, The Tablet Laptops, And Double-clicking
Hello!

A site that I've been working on has a Flash banner with navigation. People using tablet laptops have to click twice every time they want to go to a section (rather than once, which is what it should be.)

This must be because the user clicks once to 'activate' the Flash piece, then again to make it perform an action.

Does anyone know why it's doing this, and if there is a setting to change? I think the tablet PCs here use Windows XP

This is happening when the laptop is hooked up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Thanks for your time,
Jen

Pressing ENTER Key Instead Of Clicking A Button In Flash 8..
hello everyone.. good day!

I have i problem with my page flip animation and i have this actionscript for the animation:

prevBtn.onRelease = function() {
var prevPage = _parent.offsetPages(_parent.page-1,_parent.removedPages);
if(prevPage>=-1) _parent.gotoPage(prevPage);
}

nextBtn.onRelease = function() {
var nextPage = _parent.offsetPages(_parent.page+2,_parent.removed Pages);
if(nextPage<=_parent.offsetPages(_parent.maxpage,_ parent.removedPages)) _parent.gotoPage(nextPage);
}

gotoBtn.onRelease = function() {
_parent.gotoPage(Number(pageNum.text)+1);
}

I am using Flash 8. The actionscript runs and do well. What my problem is I want to add the keypress function like when I pressed the ENTER key it will automatically flip the pages and go to the typed page number. ESCAPE for close. RIGHT arrow for next page. LEFT for previous page. I tried this code for ENTER :

pageNum.on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
_parent.gotoPage(Number(pageNum.text)+1);
}

But nothing happens. I knew there something wrong and I can't fix it..
I used flash for 5 years and still do not know all in the functions of actionscript. Specially now, FLASH is under ABODE.. By the way, pageNum is the name for INPUT TEXT.

Please help me on this.. thank you

Flash Reloads In IE After Clicking Internal Link
Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with a Flash file and hope someone knows a nice work around.

First, this only happens in IE. Second, you can experience this issue by visiting: http://www.missionusa.com/test.html

I have flash buttons at the top that link to anchored sections in the HTML. The action script uses getUrl("#_anchor"). If we use nothing but the buttons, everything works fine.

However, if you click on a button, then click on a link at the bottom of the section to go back to the top, and then click on another button, the flash movie will start to replay as if the page has been reloaded.

So far, we have tried a variety of changes to the links to see if they would fix it, including:

* making the links in the HTML be "%23_anchor" (an idea from someplace else in DevShed). Still fails.
* changing the target="_self" in the HTML links to nothing.
* adding target="_self" to the flash files.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Reid

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial for this?

Open Frame In Html By Clicking Flash Button
hi buddies,

actually i need to detect which button have been clicked 1st in flash form by using javascript. i have 4 html page:

1. form.html - which include a flash form with 2 buttons n some input field.
2. a.html - will appear at the right frame of main.html when btn1 been clicked.
3. b.html - will appear at the right frame of main.html when btn2 been clicked.
4. main.html

From the form.html(single page), i need to detect which button have been clicked first. Let said, if i clicked btn1first, a.html will appear on the right frame of main.html, n form.html will straight away be insert into the left frame of main.html, same thing happen if i clicked btn2 first. However if i clicked 2nd btn fist, b.html will appear at the right frame of main.html, n then when i click btn1after that, a.html will appear at the bottom right frame of main.html, so the right side of main.html will become 2 row of frames, therefore, main.html will have 3 frames after both buttons been clicked.

Is it possible to do so? n how do to work it out? BTW, the input data must not be change when the form.html become 1 part of main.html.

anyone can help on this?

Thanks.... ^_^

Prevent Flash-menu From Reloading When Clicking A Link...
Hi, I'm planning to rewrite my site ( link ) from scratch. Currently its layout is written using framesets; I'd like to get rid of those framesets, and use CSS instead as I find this way of working much cleaner.

The problem now is, how do I prevent my Flash-menu from reloading and displaying the intro-animation whenever I click a link. (As an example, found a site that has the same problem: link )

I already asked the very same question at another forum and this is what I've got so far:
- Use php such that the site can remember whether you've seen the intro animation of the flash menu or not... (Can't do much with this solution since my host does not provide php support.)
- Make the flash-menu store some kind of cookie at the client's computer. The Flash menu can now figure whether you've seen the intro animation of the menu or not.
- Just let the Flash-menu on the site's first page have the intro-animation; on all other pages you show the menu without the intro-animation.

All of these solutions already prevent the intro-animation when it should, but don't prevent the reloading of the Flash-menu each time you click a link. I wonder whether anyone here might have got a better idea?

User Interface - Can't Select Objects By Clicking Layer Like In Flash 5?
Is there a way to click a layer to select the object on that layer and see its properties? You can click a layer in MX, and the object or objects will be selected so that you can move them...but their properties don't display in the properties panel. The only way to pull up the properties seems to be to click the actual movie clip. This is extremely annoying when the movieclip may be invisible in its first frame. Often when I work with co-workers' movies, I want to find out the name of a movieclip...so in Flash 5 I would click a layer and I could find out the name of the clip by looking at its properties. Not so in Flash MX...I'm left trying to click the little crosshairs of an invisible movie.

So whenever I can...I save MX files down to Flash 5...and then use Flash 5. Anyone know of a way to fix MX's annoying user interface?
