Flash :: FMS 2 - Trouble Adding Application (CentOS)

FMS 2 - CentOS (4.4)
Hi,

I have installed the FMS 2 (Developer License - 10 connection) on a remote CentOS 4.4 with quite a bit of gymnastics! I followed the minimalistic install steps described in the documentation.

After the installation, I logged into the admin console and went to the Manage Servers tab. I can see 'Server 1' with a _defaultVHost_ entry below it. I tried several times to ping and connect to 'Server 1' with no luck.

First of all, when FMS is installed properly, How many servers (services) are supposed to run? There is the admin and I presume a fms server. I tried to start the fms server by this command:

./fmsmgr server fms start

All I get is this output:

Server:fms command:start
NPTL 2.3.4
Starting Macromedia Flash Media Server (please check /var/log/messages)

When I look at the running processes (daemons), I only see fmsadmin! On top of it, the log file is empty! What am I doing wrong? Do I have to install another C++ or C library?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Trouble With RegisterClass Method Of Application Object
hey

I posted this problem other places but it seems no one knows. Hopefull someone here can help

I am having a problem with the registerClass method of the Application object. I searched numerous resources and found nothing that helped. Right now I'm just going by the Macromedia documentation and it's pretty unclear(to me anyways). I'm not having a problem accessing properties of an object I pass from the client to server. In fact, it doesn't even appear that I have to register the class with the application object for this to work. The problem is, everytime I try to call a method of an object passed from the client to the server I get "TypeError: class_obj.set_id is not a function".

here is the code I'm using on the client side
_________________________________________

#include "netdebug.as"

stop();

client=new NetConnection();
client.onStatus=function(info){
for(var i in info){
trace(i + ": " + info[i]);
}
};
client.ahole=function(cobj){
trace("Bam");
trace(cobj.class_id);

};

a=new my_class();
a.class_id=6;
client.connect("rtmp:/RegisterClass");
client.call("test_class", null, a, client);

function my_class(){
this.class_id=null;
}

my_class.prototype.set_id=function(new_id){
this.class_id=new_id;
};

_______________________________________________

and here is the code I'm using in the main.asc file
_______________________________________________
function my_class(){
this.class_id=null;
}

my_class.prototype.set_id=function(new_id){
this.class_id=new_id;
}

application.onAppStart=function(){
trace("Starting App");

}

application.onConnect=function(new_client){
this.acceptConnection(new_client);

}

Client.prototype.test_class=function(class_obj){
class_obj.set_id(5);
this.call("ahole", null, class_obj);
}
__________________________________________________ __

Hopefully someone has done this succesfully before and can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help.

Adding Load Bar Trouble
hey guys, i think i posted this once before but i still havnt gotten a solution.
basically what i want to achieve is a site like the "Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files" tutorial but where it says "loading" i want to replace with a loading bar. now i thought this would be pretty simple and straight forward but as hard as i try to make it work, it wont

this is my best guess so far in the 'content' actionscript

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.transition.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
_root.transition.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
loaded = true;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("opening");
}
}
}

i thought that should work but it doesnt? can anyone help me out? ill really appreciate some help.

cheers, evan

Trouble Adding .mp3 To Project
Hello, I have just started to play around with Flash this week and I am having trouble importing an .mp3 file to my project. It gives me the error, "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them". However, this is only for certain .mp3 files. I can import some .mp3's, just not all of them. They all exist in the same folder and I made sure that the file name were legit. I am completey lost, so if anybody could help, I would appreciate it!

Still Having Trouble Adding Link To Swf File
Hey There,

I'm still having difficulty adding a hyperlink to an swf file... i tried adding the 'get url' action into the graphic itself, even changed it into a movie behavior- but for some reason when i go to 'basic actions', and scroll down to the 'on mouse event' or 'on clip event', they aren't highlighted- so i can't choose them.

so- essentially. i want the animation to loop, but i only want the url link to open if someone clicks on the animation. the animations i want to become hyperlinks are at the bottom of this page: http://www.lynnguppy.com/johnnyfish.htm

? any more help ? i know i'm probably missing something simple. but i guess that's why i'm a newbie.

thanks for your kind indulgence, lynn

Having Trouble With Dynamic Text Adding, Etc
Hello, Ive gotten lots of help here for my dynamic text and this is the last thing to complete my site.

What I have is a main scene with 2 movie clips
one movie clip you make a selection
the other movie clip shows the total cost, adding or subtracting the amount of your choice.

Its confusing so ill show you what code I have
On first frame of the main scene

Code:
_root.baseprice=700;
_root.surfaceprice=0;
_root.cupprice=0;
_root.legprice=0;
_root.addonprice=0;
_root.total_price=_root.baseprice + _root.surfaceprice + _root.cupprice + _root.legprice + _root.addonprice;

In the movie clip where I want to display the total (named "right"), i have a dynamic text field var: named "total_price" and this code in the first frame of the clip

Code:
_root.right.total_price=_root.total_price;

Now this displays the "700" like it should. But I want it to change as i make my selections in the other movie clip.
So I have this code for 3 buttons, one button makes the value 0, one 100, and one 200.

Code:
//first button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =0;

//different button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =100;

//last button
on (press) {

_root.surfaceprice =200;

So, in theory, shouldnt pressing these buttons change the value of the "_root.surfaceprice" in the main scene, then in turn chang the value of the "total_price" in the other movie clip?

Thank you for the help.

Trouble Adding Eventlistener In Loop
I'm having trouble adding this eventlistener in a simple loop. Can somebody tell, why the eventhandler doesn't get triggered?

Code:
// handler

}

// add eventlistener loop
for (var i:Number = 0; i < isoCountriesArr.length; i++)

Trouble Adding Flvplayback Flash Cs3
Hi,

any advice?

Trouble Adding Commas To String
I'm using code I found on this site to add commas to a large number (so that a number like 1000000 appears as 1,000,000). Below is the actionscript I'm using.

When I define the variable debt as any number, the script works perfectly. But if I define debt as a variable passed to the movie from a PHP file, then the script puts the commas in the wrong places (i.e., 10,000,00). Can anyone explain to me why this would happen, and how to fix it?

var input = debt;
var inputString = input.toString();
var finalString = "$";
var count = 0;
var tempString = "";
for (var i = inputString.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
count++;
tempString += inputString.charAt(i);
if ((count%3 == 0) && (i - 1 >= 0)) {
tempString += ",";
}
}
for (var k = tempString.length; k>=0; k--) {
finalString += tempString.charAt(k);
}
return(finalString);

Trouble Adding Numbers In Array
As an excercise, I'm trying to create a class that will take the average value of numbers in an array.
I'm stuck on adding the values of the array elements. I keep getting "NaN" for the total. Below is my code.

ActionScript Code:
private function getTotal ():Number
{
var total:Number;
for (var i = 0; i<numArray.length; i++)
{
total += Number(numArray[i]);
}
trace("total= "+total);
return (total);

Trouble With Adding Buttons That Link To Other Scenes...? (PLEASE HELP)
Greetings...

I have put in the following code, to link to various scenes in my movie...
================================================
For example:

on (press, release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 6", 1);
}
================================================

Now, I place these actionscripts on the images that I converted to Flash Buttons and the following error comes up...

================================================
Example:

Scene=Scene 2, Layer=Presentations, Frame=485: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (press, release) {
================================================

When I play my movie, the "Buttons" that I created do act like real buttons (my mouse changes on MouseOver) but when I click them, nothing happens...

Why would this happen? I have other buttons in my movie, on other pages that link just fine and I used the same code... Why isn't it working now?

Thanks!!!

Trouble Adding Duplicated Movieclips To Array
whats up everybody,

once again its almost time to choke the young'ns. I'm on my last nerve and someone or something is gonna catch the wrath.

i have a question or problem that seems easy enough to handle. i've been trying to store my duplicated movie clips inside an array so i can access the x and y positions later. i have duplicate about 20 movie clips and need to have their names stored in an array while they're being duplicated. here's what my code looks like so far:

var intervalID;
intervalID = setInterval(checkLoadStatus, 100);

function checkLoadStatus() {
if(Title.loaded){
clearInterval(intervalID);

//split artist string into array
aArtists = Title.artists.split(",");
aPhotos = Title.photos.split(",");

// initialize stars with Title data
star_amount = aArtists.length;
trace("XXstar_amount = " + star_amount);

//declare arrays
a_Stars = new Array(star_amount);
a_centerCheck = new Array(star_amount);

for (i=0; i<star_amount; i++){

a_Stars[i] = duplicateMovieClip("star", "star" + i, 1+i );

//set length of array
a_Stars[i] = this["star" + i];

//set boolean values to check for position
a_centerCheck[i] = false;

}
star._visible = false;
trace("AAthe elements in a_Stars: " + a_Stars[1]._name);
trace("ZZthe elements in a_centerCheck: " + a_centerCheck[5]);
}
}

the problem is that flash is not storing the elements of the array. on my trace command a_Stars array keeps coming up empty while a_centerCheck displays its elements all fine. stars(the duplicated movie clip) is a child so the target is i believe to be ok. (but is probably wrong also - i just don't know).
any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Having Trouble Adding Action Script To Button Symbol
Hello everyone:
I am hoping someone will read this as I am a developer in 'dires straits' with Flash ( a newbie). My problem regards a layer called "button" which has already been converted to symbol and turned into an invisible button. The problem lies when I try to use the selection tool to select it so that I can add action script to it. Instead of the actions dialogue box saying "actions-button", it says "actions-frame", and as a result, the action script doesn't work. I don't know what to do, it should be simple to select it but something is wrong. If you feel a need to help a developer in need, you can email me at support@tahutiwebsites.com, and I can e-mail you the file so that you can help. Thanks, or you can call me at 310-867-5167

Trouble Adding Dynamically Named Elements To An Array Immediate Help Is Needed
OK, here we go... if someone can help me figure this out, I will have successfully completed my site in time for the deadline today at noon...

-- I have an array located at "_parent.emptyWindows"
-- "_parent[this._name]" gives me the name of the current MC and the value I want to add to array "emptyWindows"
-- I'm trying to add an element in this manner:

Code:
_parent.emptyWindows[_parent[this._name]] = _parent[this._name];
That is not working, but not even this is working for me:

Code:
_parent.emptyWindows["bird"] = "bird";
Here I've given an explicit value and name for the element to be added to the array, but obviously something is wrong in my context and I just am NOT finding it.

Any guesses???
Much appreciation,

Trouble Adding Animation To Existing Rollover Animation
Hey all,

I'm using Flash 8. I have a picture of a building which is segmented into floors. Upon rolling over a grouping of floors the user sees either a blue overlay, indicating they can click, or a gray overlay simply describing what the floor is. I already have some actionscript in place and I don't need to alter it, I just added more animation to an existing movieclip rollover, but it's not quite working. On one of the floors that rolls-over gray, I want an additional rollover with some text. So I made a movie clip of the rollover animating out and the type coming in and I just added it to the gray fade in movie clip since there was already onRollover actionscript in place there. However, the rollover kept playing over and over again. So, of course I added a Stop action. Then, the animation didn't work anymore, it just rolled over to the final state of that animation. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do, or what I can do as an alternative? I'll post the actionscript in case that helps. Like I said, the rollover "rolls-over" but either loops (without a Stop action), or rolls over to the final frame in the animation (with a Stop action).

Thanks!

Having Trouble Adding Additional Text To Text Stored In Var
How can i add "&print=page" to printVar=facility.php?type=all&state=ak so it would be, printVar=facility.php?type=all&state=ak"&print=pag e in a button?
I tried this and it won't work..
[code]
on(release){
getURL(printVar+"&print=page")
}
or
on(release){
newPrintVar = printVar+"&print=page"
getURL(newPrintVar)
}

Using Mx.core.Application.application.url In A Class
I have a VERY simple class that does not work and I would like to know why. Here it is:

package Test{
import mx.core.Application;
publicclass Environment{
privatevar CurrentURL:String;
publicfunction Environment(){
this.CurrentURL = mx.core.Application.application.url;
trace("Current URL: "+this.CurrentURL);
}
}}

The error message is "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference". This is because mx.core.Application.application is null. My problem is that when I trace mx.core.Application.application.url in my Flex2 application it is defined, and it is the current Request URI. Why can't I access it from within my class? Can this be some kind of namespace issue? Why does ActionScript insist on making me mad (rhetorical).

Thanks in advance!

LoadMovie Trouble Trouble Troubles
hello,

i'm having a little bit of trouble here trying to load multiple movies into the same container. not all at one time. like this:

when a button is clicked this happens in my preloader clip which is located in my _root movie:

********************************
// set vars
sectionMovie = _root.currentSection + ".swf";

// un/load movie
unloadMovie("_root.SectionContent");
loadMovie(sectionMovie, "_root.SectionContent");
********************************

then the next frame of the preloader says:

********************************
// get the percent of the movie loaded
bytesLoaded = _root.sectionContent.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.sectionContent.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = int((bytesLoaded / bytesTotal)*100);

// if it's loaded then continue
if (percentLoaded == 100) {
this.gotoAndStop (1);
}
********************************

it all seems like it should work. i click "button1" which loads "movie1.swf" perfectly. then i click "button2" and it will unload the movie fine, but it just stops when it gets to "loadMovie"... anyone know what is happening?

thakns in advance for the help, it's a school project...mwaahaha!

"Oooooh Trouble Trouble..." (Foghat Reference +1000 Points)
I am attempting to add X movie clips to the stage via script, with follow AI behaviors added to each of them. But for now I am just having them immediately start moving left until they hit the stage edge OR eachother...which is the problem.

I cannot get them ALL to stop when they collide with somehting else on the stage...

the way I atempted to solve this problem was to start an array... a list... and to add to that list the name of every object I add to the stage when I add it to the stage. So before ANYTHING moves it loops through this array to see if it is hitting anything else on the stage. Sounds simple right?

Well it seems to only work for the LAST movie attached in my function.

I have attached the script to this post. Please take a look, provide some help, give me some alternative ideas, tell me a good joke :-P, just gimme some feedback. Thanks in advance to anyone who even tries to help.

I Am Adding A Child To The Stage, Adding An Event Listener To The Child. I Then Want
I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be really simple to do.

I am adding a child to the stage, adding an event listener to the child. I then want to remove the child from within the event listener.

ActionScript Code:
var newClip:NewClip = new NewClip();

addChild(newClip);

newClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, newClipListener);

public function newClipListener(event:Event) {
trace("test");
}

I've tried quite a few things and nothing seems to work. The only method I know that works looks like this, but it's stupid and cumbersome and i'm sure there is a better way

ActionScript Code:
var newClip:NewClip = new NewClip();

addChild(newClip);

newClipArray.push(newClip);

newClip.myID = newClipArray.length-1;

newClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, newClipListener);

public function newClipListener(event:Event) {

removeChild(newClipArray[event.target.myID]);

}

Adding Links On "Adding Thumbnails" Tutorial
I've stumbled across a very interesting tutorial, which helped me a lot.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm
But, I've noticed a little detail. When you click on the big image of the finished example on the first page of tutorial, it acts like a link. When I have downloaded finished .fla source, links are nicely written in the images.xml file, but the links in the .fla file don't work.
Please, tell me which AS code I have to add to my .fla file in order to activate links (and make them work properly).
Thanks.

Trouble Explaining The Trouble
i am having a hard time explaining this problem so i have attached my fla file with some notes attached to it.
i'm trying to customise the a.s. but alas i'm not very good at it yet.

i have an element on the page that when it is clicked on it zooms big and comes to the center of the stage. when you click on it again it zooms back to its original position. - i have this part working.

the problem is i want elements within the zoomed elements to behave the same way. essentially zooming further into the stage. i just can't get it to work.

at this point i am completely lost, any help on this is much appreciated.
thanks everyone

I have a movie that has a tab/folder user interface. Sort of like a file folder. You click the tab and that folder jumps to the front.

Help With Map Application
Hi guys....
I really need u guys help with my map application...since I'm stuck up here

u can see the mockup preview here..

http://www.franzacollections.net/mapstuff/mockup.swf

as u guys can see and test the map.I already done with preparing the navigation and controller for the maps..but there is still minor issues occured..and realy need u guys help/ at least give me some shed on light how to overcomes it.. really need u guys help....

1.How to easing the map within map boundary..as u guys obviously can see when the menu item being click the maps will ease to certain location based on assigning x,y coordinate read from array.But how to detect/rectify by the times the map easing is it the maps easing over beyonds the boundary or not,if so it will only easing within boudary only...not using that given coordinates....does make sense?

2.Regarding the bubble thingy...how to keep it's remain their xscale and yscale property eventhough the map it scaling...as u guys can see in the mockup...the bubbles also scaling together with the maps..pretty annoying...I try to keep bubbles scale remain by using this code but not to avail I guess...

Code:
//inside zoom in function
zoomin.onPress = function(){
if (mapmc._xscale < maxScale) {
mapmc._xscale = mapmc._xscale + scaleSpeed/0.5;
mapmc._yscale = mapmc._yscale + scaleSpeed/0.5;
//////////////////// how to keep remain child scale ///////////////
orichildXscale = orichildYscale = (100/mapmc._xscale)*100;
///////////////////////////////////

}
}
3.I do manage keep the map within boundary upon panning...by dragging the maps..but the problem occurred when I start rescale the map I cant reach certain point on maps when I dragging the maps...(is it because of I'm setting off the boudary manually at the 1st places???) ..

Anyway sorry for th elong questions but at least give me some shed on light and point me to the rite path....I just really need help with it..then I'm done ....because it's just a simple and basic map controller I guess...hope I will get reply from u guys...thanks for u guys time and concern...

thanks in advanced...

in case u guys wanna see my current code and my mockup fla

Application VOD Set Up
I have a quick question. What is the standard practice when setting up video on demand. Right now I am just putting the files in VOD/Media folder and streaming them from there. Is there any performance advantage to creating seperate folders under the VOD folder and streaming individual flv files from a folder besides the media folder. Just worried that streaming all the videos from the media folder might effect perfomance.

Application Help
Right now I'm starting an application that would turn out to be a chat application. I have the regular buttons needed in a application (close, maximize, minimize), but I can't seem to get the right AS needed to get the buttons to do what I want them to do. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe a tutorial or something. I tried the 'removemovieclip' but then realized i would need to create the whole thing into one MC and didnt want to try if i wasnt sure if it was going to work or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Application
Is it possible to make an application on flash?
