Flash Control
Hi,
Is there a way to call a function that's in my Flash in actionscript, From a javasrict function.
Basically I have a list in HTML and when I click on the links I want My flash to call a function. That function calls a component CFC that loads info from the database depending on which link was clicked. I'm cool with loading the the info using the components But My problem is Calling it from HTML/Javascript. Any Ideas, how or where I can learn.(already did eddy traversa's tutorial and not enough)
Thanks

Sound Control With Pause Button As Well As Timeline Control
Hi there
I have a flash page, with a ambient track playing. I added a pause and play button. So you press the button then it stops, then you press it again then it plays...
So now i want to make it so that if you go to the 'WORK' page on the site, wich is on its own frame, and wich has different buttons linking to it, then i want the sound to switch off when i am on the work page as well.
So if the background ambient music plays, and you go to work then the sound switches off. Untill you switch it back on again
How is the best way for me to do that?
How Can I Control A Swf File Via RF Remote Control, Ala Powerpoint?
I have a Mac laptop and Honeywell RF remote that will control Powerpoint presentations. I'd rather make the presentations in Flash. The remote has three functions: last slide, next slide and blank screen. I have no idea what signals the remote sends for Powerpoint to read, but it must be pretty standard.
Does anyone know a way to code Flash so that it will respond to these commands the same as Powerpoint does... or is this a lost cause?
Thanx!

How Do I Control A Flash Movie From A Seperate Flash Navigation Bar. Actionscript?
I need to create a flash navigation that controls another flash movie in the middle of the screen. In other words, when someone clicks on a menu item it pulls up one of the frames in the flash movie. If you click on another item, it pulls up another frame in the flash movie and so on. The flash navigation bar is on the left and the movie is in the middle of the screen. I have both movies created, I just need to connect them. Are we talking about actionscript here? any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
Flash MP3 Player And Separate Flash Movie Control
Hi Everyone,
I am not sure this has been talked about as I have looked into Mp3 stuff on this forum so here goes. I have a basic Mp3 player on an html page. It is the "Theron_Parlin-Mp3_Player-614" Player. Currently I have it playing as soon as someone hits the page. I want people to hear the comedian in the backgroun as they surf the site. I currently have two video pages, one with Quicktime, the other with Windows Media files. When a person clicks one of the video the appropriate player opens and plays the video. The problem I have is that I have to instruct my visitors to pause or stop the Mp3 player on the main page. I'd like to have the player pause on some type of mouse click in the Video sections.
I have given thought to taking the videos and just making them some sort of Flash video so that I can cut down on storage space and have more control over stopping the Mp3 player. The problem I have is that I am going to be using html pages as I am now and the site won't be a full Flash site(that will come later). I have no idea how to connect the two "players" in order to have control over how the play is stopped on the player. I want the Mp3's playing all of the time, unless there is user interaction. If a person clicks the new video files in some type of Flash file I want the Mp3's paused until each clip is complete. Then the Mp3 player will start back up. Is it possible?
I am thinking that I will have an html page with links to the Flash movies on a single page/player. How do I connect the two Flash entities to have control?
Thank you,
Don

Flash Swf Control
I'm doing a presentation from a laptop and projector. I start the SWF file. Instead of pressing the Alt-F key to go to full screen view and hidden menu bar, can I set the file up to do that automatically? I'd like to just click the SWF file and have it automatically be at full screen size with no menu bar. Help anyone?
Flash SWF Control
Ok, I got my first question answered (thanks to RoyalW!)
Tell me, is there a way to fast forward or rewind a SWF other than using Ctrl-> or Ctrl<-?
The basic controls are often too slow. What if I'm at frame 780 and want to get back to frame 200?
I know there's something about bookmarks, but is there another way that's similar to a VCR control?
Anyone?

Flash Control From PHP
What I am wanting to do is have a Flash movie with two frames.
Frame one contains a visitor's menu and frame two contains a member's menu.
Then, check to see if the person is logged in or not.
If they are, the movie goes to frame two, if not, it goes to frame one.
I can use this code to determine whether or not a user is logged in:
PHP Code:
<?
if($logged_in)
{
echo 'Logged In';
}
else
{
echo 'Not Logged In';
}
?>
I need to know how to:
a) Make this script output something that flash can recognise
b) Make flash check the status of the output then go to the correct frame
My Flash/PHP skills are not very good yet but this is how I learn.
Flash Vs MP3 Control
Hi
I know that we can control sound in Flash, but it's not possible to create a real MP3 player with a visual that follow the sound beat. I found a software that can convert MP3 into swf or flv to allow us to really control sound with variables that represent the spectrum values. I't a cool product, but If anyone has another to suggest, let me know. I really appreciate when I can compare more then one product and choose the one I prefer.

Control In Flash With XML?
Hi you all.
Can someone HELP me with this?
I have a Hierarchical Menu in Flash which loads from an XML file.
My problem is that i don't know how to script for one button (item) in order to have the action="getUrl" and also "gotoAndPlay" a specific frame.
What I mean is that for the same BUTTON I would like to load an HTML page and ALSO to make an action (gotoAndPlay) in the Flash movie.
Can somebody tell me an example script of how the XML should look??
my example:
<hiermenu method="1">
<dp title="false">
<item name="Home" sub="0" html="true" action="getURL" url="pages/home.htm" target="content"/>
HERE is where i still need the gotoAndPlay action for a certain frame in a certain movieclip.
THANX IN ADVANCE for any HELP

Control Flash From JS
Hi!
I have a couple of animations to be made in flash, the thing is I want JavaScript to trigger different animations based on a couple of (x)html element the user clicked on.
Right now I´m using the IsPlaying(), TGotoLabel() and Play() calls from JavaScript to interact with Flash.
Don´t know if this is a good way to go? Could not find any up to date information about this.
All comments, sugesstions and/or help is appreciated!
Best regards
Need To Control Flash To Flash On Same Html Page
I have two flash movies on the same html page separated by tables. I want a button in Flash movie 1 to send Flash movie 2 to a particular frame. I am not a programmer and specific code & gory details would be appreciated. I'd like to avoid using java if possible, any ideas??
Thanks
Can Non-flash Rollovers Control A Flash Movie?
I have been racking my brain trying to come up with the best way to make a flash movie that can interact with html links on a page. Basically there is a list of products (about 20) that are currently just html links. On the home page, the client has asked for a flash movie. When you roll over product items, the flash movie should jump to an animation relating to that product. These animations could all be built on the timeline of one flash movie, or could be multiple .swfs.
So far the best idea I can come up with is to have multiple swfs. I could potentially position each one absolutely so that they stack on top of each other. Then use CSS or javascript to change the stacking order when you rollover the links. This seems to be a rather cumbersome solution though, and I think there must be a more efficient way to do this.
Can anyone let me know if any of the following ideas might work?
- I have used javascript to make disjointed image rollovers, is it possible to mouseover a link and then swap a swf file?
- if you mouseover the link, can javascript send a variable to flash, and then have actionscript detect that variable and send the movie to the appropriate keyframe?
- Is it possible to achieve the effect I am looking for if you click the links instead of rollover them?
I am using flash cs3, so i can use actionscript 2 or 3.
What I am trying to avoid is creating the whole page in flash, as it would be inconsistent with the rest of the site.
Thanks for any suggestions!!
Using Flash To Control An Intereactive CD
I can create a CD with an autorun.inf that loads up a flash projector no worries, but how do I get that flash projector to open up other flash projectors.
Example the CD starts on FlashIntro.exe
It has an intro then a menu to lead to different media, some HTML pages, MP3s, AVIs and other Flash Projectors.
How do I tell a button to go run another file.
Then how do I address that file in flash assuming it is in the same directory as FlashIntro.exe?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

CatBert kindly made this example for me:

I'm going through it and have deciphered parts but i'm looking for some help as i don't have a manual and the online help is even more cryptic.

Flash Version Control
Hope someone can clear this up for me -
This is from one of the tech notes on Macromedia's site:
"Usually, older players will attempt to play the movie and ignore newer features they do not understand. For example, Flash Player 3 will load a Flash 5 movie containing MP3-compressed audio but will not play the sound. However, sometimes an older player will display the movie with more unexpected results."
The key thing here being that it seems behaviour of .swfs in older players is unpredictable. Thing is, Macromedia have recently updated the Flash SDK, and now we get what's called the Flash Detection Kit. Having looked at it, the detection is ENTIRELY within an .swf.
So my question is:
What am I missing?!! How do you use a .swf with version 5/6 AS in it to reliably check for the Flash Player when, by Macromedia's own observation, playback in older Players is going to be unpredictable and therefore unreliable?!
Many thanks

Is it possible to control a webcam through flash MX..?, i will only be testing it locally so it will be a specific webcam that i know everything about. If not then has anyone got any other ideas how this might be achieved, perhaps with other macromedia products as i have access to Studio MX.

Flash MX Combo Box Control
Hello and thanks to everyone for your time and comments. I am attempting something quite elementary I am sure, but it is still escaping me. I would like to use a combo box, which has been populated with titles referencing a group of graphics. For example, combo box title 1 is "photo gallery 1" Upon selecting this from the combo box, I would like all the photos in this group to load into the movie. I am having trouble understanding how to assign actionscript to the individual titles in the combo box. That's it. No other questions. A simple procedure I'm sure, but I have to learn somewhere!

Control One Flash File From Another
I'm making a page that has three flash files on it. All in separate locations, but on the same page. I was wondering if there is anyway for an event on one of the flash files to trigger something in the others? Basically, is there anyway to send a gotoAndPlay() to another flash file from one? Does this make sense?
