Flash :: Controlling Location Of Pop-up Windows

Removing Tools, Location & Scrollbars On Both Windows AND Macintosh
Greetings,

I have an invisible button in a flash movie.
http://www.t-i-w.com/staging/edpead/index.html

The invisible button becomes available when the words "CLICK HELMET TO ENTER" appear, just click the helmet. Those of you who have a Windows machine AND a Mac at your disposal, open the site on both platforms, click the helmet and watch what happens. On the Windows side it does EXACTLY what I want (no tools, scroll bars, location etc. and edge-to-edge graphic placement). On the Mac side I'm not so lucky.

On the Mac side:
1. The window is opening WITH location, scroll bars, tools etc. I DON'T WANT IT TO DO THAT!

2. There is also a gap of about 20 pixels on the East and South edges that shouldn't be there. It looks as though the window is 760 x 420 pixels wide and the graphic is 720 x 400.

If I were to build an HTML page that had a text or graphic link, I could use Dreamweavers Behaviors to open a new page when the user clicks the link and tell it the exact size and what tools it should have AND IT WOULD WORK ON BOTH PLATFORMS!!!

Why isn't Flash behaving as such? What do I need to do?

Here is the code attached to the invisible button layered above the helmet:

on (release) {
getURL("java script:window.open('http://www.t-i-w.com/staging/edpead/html/mainindex.html','newWin','width=760,height=420,lef t=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,res izable=No,fullscreen=No');NewWindow.focus();void(0 );");
}

Controlling Movie With Mouse Location
I am simply trying to do this: put a movie on the stage and as the mouse moves closer or farther from the movie, the movie plays forwards and backwards. The movie I made is a circular logo with navigation buttons curling out from it like a jack knife. My idea is to have the buttons curl out as the user moves the mouse closer to the logo and curl back in as the mouse moves away.

I understand the coding concept - calculate where the cursor is on the stage, figure out the distance of the cursor to the logo movie, and just go to certain frames in the logo movie based on that distance.

I have the stage, the logo movie, and even the code to figure out the the mouse location. But beyond that, I need help. I just don't know enough about actionscript syntax and although conceptually this seems like a basic exercise, I hit the wall. If anyone is willing to help, the .fla file can be downloaded here:

CONTROLLING WINDOW LOCATION In Stand Alone Player.
I'm hoping this is a stupid ? with an easy answer. When I package a windows standalone projector (1024x700) that does not use fullscreen mode, at execution the window is positioned half on/ half off the (1024X768) screen . Is there an FScommand or similar for controlling window loaction in the stand alone player?

Thanks for any insights you can provide.

Problems With Fluid Movement: Controlling The Frame Location Of One Movie With Other
Dear guru's, friends and famed flash soluition people!

I've been working on an issue in flash for some time now, and I can't seem to solve it.

I have a few layers in my flash applicaiton. _level0 has a slider and controls the frame position of another layer's movie on _level1.

When the user doesn't drag the slider, the movie plays after a short pause.

I create the illusion of motion by increasing the slider's x position by 1 every frame and then the _level1 movie is moved to the frame corespondiing to the x position of the slider.

It all works great, except that durring playback the _level1 movie sometimes stutters - it somehow never gets to the next frame it needed to get to, and so it misses a "step" or two in its motion.

I've tried profiling my applicaiton, and streamlined it as best as I could, and I even removed loads of layers of code to just test the playback. I also changed my system to work on an interval bassis instead of using onEnterFrame. With both methods I still get stutters...

I've also tweaked the ratio of the slider's range of motion to the film, or increased the films length, or slowed down or sped up the sliders motion per interval/frame - finally I have also tried different frame rates [currently at 20fps]

Is there anything else you can think of that i can try? It feels like the second layer just isn't high priority in flash's mind and therefore it reacts slower...?

Is there a better method for controlling the playhead [frame position] of one movie from another?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated; i've exausted all the options I can think of...

With kindness,

Sebastian.

Controlling Multiple Movie Clip Location Using Single Function
I need to write a function which should fix the location of the movie clip on the stage.

public function setCoOrdinates(xpos:Number,ypos:Number,movieName:S tring):Void
{
eval(movieName)._x=xpos;
eval(movieName)._y=ypos;
}

My function is as above. While I use this function in flash I only see the last movieclip on the stage which was passed. Movieclips passed earlier seem to have disappeared from the screen.

setCoOrdinates(20,200,"bButton_mc");
setCoOrdinates(530,100,"fButton_mc");

I see only "fButton_mc" on the stage. Even though I set different xpos and yposs for the movie clip.

Controlling Clip Location With Other Clip Location
That title was admittedly confusing...but I don't know a better way of putting it. I want to create an effect like is on http://www.lennon.net/familytree/familytree.html The small map in the right hand corner controls the large map in the middle. I have a version that is a little bit different, but essentially the same. It has a clip in the middle (mine is a drag and drop instead of having scrolling buttons), and it has a zoom in and out function. The zoom is where I get completely lost because I don't know how to relate the two objects with the correct equation especially when the size will be changable. If anyone can point me to a tutorial or another thread that discusses any of this, that would be fantastic...I don't expect you to write all of the script for me, but just point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Controlling Attributes In Pop Up Windows
I'm trying to control the attributes of a pop-up window from within Flash.

I'm using a javascript function which I call from the getURL action attached to the button in my movie.

The problem is (some) not all of the attributes are being given to the pop-up window when it opens.

Does anyone know the specific syntax for calling a javascript function from the getURL command?

Is there a simpler way to accomplish this?

I basically just need it to hide all the attributes of the pop-up; location, scrollbar, etc.

Controlling New Opening Windows
Hello again!

Once again I have a problem.

On the site im building in flash, I have a series of thumbnails that I would liked to be viewed in a new window when they're clicked on.

The problem is that I have no idea how to do this.

Ideally I would like to have the new windows open at specific sizes in order to accommodate the exact size of the picture's to be viewed.

Also, can anyone provide details on opening just a plain looking window(eg - with no menu, and just the 'X' in the corner to close the window).

Any sort of help on this would be appreciated greatly.

Cheers

Controlling Windows Media Player
I use the following script in flash to call on a custom function named sound()

Code:
on (release) {
getURL"javascript:sound()"
}

Inside my HTML code I have defined the following function to mute the sound:

Code:
function sound() {
if (mute=="false") {
document.WinMedia.mute="true";
mute="true";}else{
document.WinMedia.mute="false";
mute="false";}
}

This code works perfectly when called on via HTML, but for some reason doesn't function when used with Flash.

I called this other custom function...

Code:
function stopmovie () {
document.WinMedia.Stop;
}

and it works perfectly using flash as an interface. Any ideas why the first script wouldn't? Thanks

Controlling Windows Media With Javascript
Hi

I've got a wmv file playing in a layer above a flash movie and using flash to control it, everything works fine

The strange thing is when i call the javascript

PHP Code:

   function playVid ()
   {
       Player.controls.play();
   }
   function pauseVid ()
   {
        Player.controls.pause();
   }

if i call the javascript from within html, if i toggle between play & pause it plays pauses, etc... fine, but when i call the javascript from flash it pauses fine, but when i press play it starts from the beginning of the wmv again.

Anybody any idea why this happens when it's the same piece of javascript that's being called?

Cheers

Controlling The Scene From A Movie + Opening Windows
Hi all,

I think I'm getting the hang of this flash lark, but there is still a lot that evades me!

Part 1:

Currently, I have a scene, and when a button is pressed, it jumps to a different frame in the movie where I have inserted a movie clip. In that movie clip I want to have a button that I click and it takes you back to the 1st frame of the entire scene, but I can't see how to do it.

I've tried using the "tell target" command, but I get a BASE error! At this stage I went crossed eyed and gave up!

Can someone tell me how I tell the button to go to a frame outside of the current movie clip?

Part 2:

I also worked out a little while ago how to open a new window from flash withou the menu, scroll bar, address bar etc, but I've lost the .fla! Can someone tell how I did it/ how to do it again?

Thnax a lot people

Flash To JavaScript Controlling Windows Media
Okay, I have a unique situation. I am using a Flash movie in one window to change the content of a frame containing an embedded Windows Media file. I have the Javascript worked out to change the page and play the movie, but I need to also be able to jump to a marker within the movie. The problem is that by the time the movie is loaded, the command to jump to the specified point is lost. Any ideas how to (in one click) change the contents of the other frame, pause about 5 seconds, and then send the command to jump to the point? I tried putting two "getURL" commands on the same button with a delay set inbetween, but it would only read one of the "getURL"s.

The code that I'm using is as follows:

on (release) {
myURL = "javascript:void(parent.frames['mainFrame'].location.href='sunday.htm');void(parent.frames['mainFrame'].Player1.controls.currentMarker=7);void(parent.fra mes['mainFrame'].Player1.controls.play());";
getURL (myURL);
}

The url is http://test.namb.net/sbc_FLASH_2002/default.htm

How To Move An Object Slowly And Smoothly From Location 1 To Location 2?
Hi,

I am new to ActionScript. I wish to use ActionScript to move an object slowly and smoothly from location 1 to location 2.

I learned that I can use the following to move an object to location 2 (x2, y2):

mThisObject.x = x2;
mThisObject.y = y2;

However the object just "swift" from location 1 to location 2, not moving slowly and smoothly from location 1 to location 2.

Could some experts here provide a guideline for me?

Thanks and best regards

Xml Read From Dynamic Location Or Web Location
hello, i am working on a site which uses a flash menu i was handed
i have never worked with flash, but i suspect my problem is really easy to solve

the flash menu uses an xml file to generate, it works fine as long as one stays at the top-level dir of the site, say http://www.example.com/
when someone enters a page, say http://www.example.com/test/ the menu stops working, being unable to read the xml which is hardcoded to be in the same directory as the page it's called from (menu.xml is in /)

i must say that the locations visible to the browser are not real, everything non-top level in http://www.example.com/test/page/ is just mod-rewrite, thus none of the directories test or page really exist

i can see the reason why flash looks in the same directory as the one the client requested for the file (instead of looking at the same dir locally in example), but i can't seem to find a workaround to fix the menu myself without touching the flash code, so the two solutions i thought of:

1. is there a file_exists function i could use to make the flash recurse upper-level directories until the menu finds the xml file? as in:
quote:var menufile = menu.xml
while (!file_exists(menu.xml)) {
menufile = '../' + menufile
}
obviously this is not real code

2. is there a way to open the xml from a web location and not from a static path relative to the swf itself?

i googled for both but i could not find a clean or satisfying solution for either.. any answer on those and/or any other recommendations for a workaround would save me

Location-location Movement

<3>
but if i add a fourth below screen <2> it all suddenly goes haywire.
move right from <1> and u end up in <4>, move left from <2> and you end up in <3>, move up from <3> and you end up in <2>.... you get the idea. can anyone help?
this is my code:

ActionScript Code:
if (grim._x<0) {
grim._x = 306;
if(bg._currentframe=2) {
bg.gotoAndStop(1);
}
if(bg._currentframe=4) {
bg.gotoAndStop(3);
}
}
if (grim._x>306) {
grim._x = 1;
if(bg._currentframe=1) {
bg.gotoAndStop(2);
}
if(bg._currentframe=3) {
bg.gotoAndStop(4);
}
}
if (grim._y<0) {
grim._y = 212;
if(bg._currentframe=3) {
bg.gotoAndStop(1);
}
if(bg._currentframe=4) {
bg.gotoAndStop(2);
}

grim._y = 1;
if(bg._currentframe=1) {
bg.gotoAndStop(3);

Yo have some buttons. When u click on any of 'em a popup window opens (inside could be text, image or movieclips or all of 'em). Last window it opens always shows up on top and if u select one that it's behind this comes automaticly to the top. I'd love too if u could minimize 'em and also if eacho one opens into a new swf.
There is a example of what I want here:

Windows Emulator.... Having Trouble With Minimizing The "windows".
I'm creating a website that will behave kinda' like Windows. I have a basic menu that when you click on an option, a window will open up. You can drag the windows and close them. However, I'm having trouble with the minimizing part.

Lets say that I have 3 "windows" (each is a movie clip) called "win1", "win2", and "win3". Each window has an instance of a minimize button. When you click the button, the window should minimize to the bottom of the screen, and line up in the order that it was minimized in (just like Windows). I figured out how to get them to minimize, but I can't get them to sort themselves correctly.

Lets say that I just minimized all three windows in this order:
win1, win2, win3

Now, if I click on win1 to maximize it, I want win2 and win3 to shift over to the left to take the place of win1. Then, if I minimize win1 again, it should go to the end of the row. Resulting in this order:
win2, win3, win1

Does anyone know of any code that I could make these windows sort themselves when they are minimized and maximized?

Thanks!

I would like to know how to make my flash application start with Windows without manually adding it (the users won't have to add it to the startup folder themselves). Can flash write to the registry?

Windows To Mac To Windows Problem
I'm a Mac user and I'm working on a large project with a client who is using Windows XP. My client is creating some Flash content in Windows and then sending the .swfs to me to incorporate into the site.

These files play fine on my computer. I upload them to my web server and my Windows-based clients are able to view them over the web. However, if I email the .swfs back to my client, they won't run on the Windows computer. This is a problem, since it's my client who will ultimately be hosting the site.

There is no problem with .swfs that I publish on my computer and then email to my client.

_level1._x=350;
_level1._y=275;

X And Y Location Between MCs
I want an MC that will remain locked within the bounds of another MC's perimiter once its dragged in. To do this, I set bounds as follows below:

this.startDrag(false, _parent._parent.PL_Drop_Zone._x-6, _parent._parent.PL_Drop_Zone._y-40, _parent._parent.PL_Drop_Zone._x-6, (_parent._parent.PL_Drop_Zone._y+_parent._parent.P L_Drop_Zone._height-60));

Two questions:
1)
To get the line above, I spent some time tweaking, as for some reason

_parent._parent.PL_Drop_Zone._y

didn't exactly mean the top of the other MC (where the other MC is PL_Drop_Zone).

Why did I need to do this tweaking? Why does the difference of the upper bounds and lower bounds of the PL_Drop_Zone not match the height of it?

2)
I have duplicates of the original MC I want to move. I have found that their location determines the bounds also. For example, after I tweaked the above line to display correctly, I put the same code in a duplicate movie, positioned right below the first one. It moves the bounds down just a little, equal to it difference in position relative to the first MC.

Why would an MC's position affect the startDrag boundaries, if its properties are not used in the actual bounds?

Sorry for the longwinded explanation! Even a link to a page explaining coordinates and MC location properties could be helpful.

Thanks!

var.path = "http://www.mywebsite.com/flash.css";

format.load(path);
format.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
output.styleSheet = format;
output.text = _global.quick;
} else {
output.text = "Error loading CSS file!";

};

Which is loading in the var.quick as CSS formatted txt. which works fine when tested at _root level....but the swf file I have it in is being loaded into:

ActionScript Code:
_root.loadarea

Which makes it stop working. Ive figured its down to the level where the variables are being stored....but Im having a bit of a thick moment and forgotten how to target them with this code!

Any ideas?

Also....if I want to CSS format some dynamic txt loaded in from a txt file....what do I need to change/add above?

Thanks all!

Location Value As A String?
heres what I have.

a text box value in this case b1 on _level0
ontop of that is a movieclip whose location is _level0.b1
this is repeted 38 times so the next text box is b2 movie clip _level0.b2 etc etc...

What I want to do.

So I only need one symbol for the movie clips that go ontop of the textboxes im trying to read its location, and from that i can get a value for which text box it represents.

What I have done.

in the movie clip is the following action script

location = this;
day = location.toString();
day1 = day.indexOf("b") +1;
gridday = day.slice(day1);

for some reason it fails from day = location.toString(); instead of the variable day being "_level0.b2" its "[Object object]"

This i cant understand, as the variable location does equal _level0.b1 so why once made a string does it change to [Object...

Any help most appreciated on how i can solve this problem, or maybe another soloution to what id like to do.

Thanks everyone!!

Random Location
hi guys,

I am making the following movieclip

several buttons and a plane which flies above a map.

I want to following to happen

I click on button 1 and the plane goes to location 1
I click on 2 and the plane goes tol ocation 2
I click on 3 and the plabe goes to....yes to location 3
I click on 4 and the plane goes to location 4
I click on 5 and the plane goes to location 5
etc..

it's easy to make if the user will use the buttons from 1- 5. Unfortunately this is not going to happen...the user will go from 1-3-2-1-4-3-5 or something.
But I want the plane to fly to the correct location...from every point

Unfortunately I have NO clue on how to start...I downloaded MX trial version now ( i have Flash5 experience, but i am not a good programmer)

Can somebody help me on the way?

Thnx!
Joris

PS. if somebody has a wordl map that is vector based and is willing to share it with me....please let me know, still looking for it
