Flash :: Flash Display : Dont Want Square Showing For Flash Area

Showing Content In Limited Area Ideas?
I have a page that I'm trying to do with limited Flash experience where the content is all going to be on a small board. Basically it's like an artists's canvas and every page will show up on that.

I just have a question about the best way to display it there. Do people have some ideas about this? I would even get a component if there was one out there for this kind of thing, but I'm just interested in what others think.

Does anyone have any favorites about an effect to keep all the content in one area instead of seperate pages (hopefully there are some tutorials and documentation)?

Thanks.

Showing The Content Of An Area In Another Part Of The Stage
Somehow it seems to be possible to have 2 areas showing the exactly same thing, whatever that is.

In this Flash-based game:
http://www.towerdefence.net/games-10..._Element_2.php

There is a spot marked "FETV", this FETV changes to the surrounding graphics of an enemy or tower when such is selected.
How has this been implemented?

Any Ideas On Why My Popup Windows Dont Display In Netscape?
Hey everyone.

I have put some javascript on a button in my movie to open a popup window. It seems to work fine in explorer, but when clicking the same button in netscape, nothing happens.
This is the code I am using on the button:

javascript:window.open('http://www.enter your url here.com','name of the window','width=570,height=650,top='+((screen.heigh t/2)-(NaN))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(NaN))+',toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,men ubar=no,status=no,directories=no,location=no');%20 void(0);

If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I am confused as to why it would not work in netscape.

cheers

Display Object From Child Class ? Sound But No Video. I Dont Get It...
So I have a main package with a main class, then it breaks down into children from there (I think thats how you explain it). I am trying to stream a video and get it on the stage. I know my issue is with adding the display object but I dont get it - I have too many forum posts / books open but I just cant seem to get it. How do I get it to display when compiled? I can hear the sound but cant see it.

Main Package:

package core {

import flash.display.*;

public class SecretSolutions extends MovieClip {

var secretsXMLFile = "../xml/secrets.xml";

public function SecretSolutions() {

var secretsXML = new GlobalXML;

var secretsVideo = new GlobalVideo;

secretsVideo.showVideo();

secretsXML.importXML(secretsXMLFile);
}
}
}

Global Video Package

package core {

import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.media.*;

internal class GlobalVideo extends MovieClip {

public function showVideo () {

var video:Video = new Video(320,240);

addChild(video);

var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();

nc.connect(null);

var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);

function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void{

trace(stat.info.code);
}

var meta:Object = new Object();

meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object){

trace(meta.duration);
}

ns.client = meta;

video.attachNetStream(ns);

ns.play("video_001.flv");

}
}
}

Thanks in advance and for any insight - Im new to AS3

Document Display Area. Help?
Here's what I'm trying to do:

For my website, I want to have the entire thing be a .SWF file. (Easy) But here's my problem: some of the information I want displayed will be in Microsoft Word format- either .DOC or .XML format. Whichever is easier. But I want to create a static location for it to display within my flash site. Think of it as a document area. You click a topic, and it loads my .DOC file into that area for reading.

Anyone know where I can view a tutorial on this function?

Square Flash Interface
Does anybody know how to construct a square flash interface like the one shown on the following address:

http://showcase.vianetworks.co.uk/

It is the one named Flash Example 6 under the Flash examples heading

It has a group of nine squares which move into view when the user clicks on a smaller set of squares.

It is probably done by using actionscript to align the main graphic at various points but that is as far as I have got.

Any help much appreciated.

Flash, XML And The Pesky 'square' Character ...
OK, I have put together some code to show the
exact problem. To see the problem in action, you can
do two things.

First, create a new flash movie and copy in all the
following code. Save it somewhere and call it whatever
you like:

Code:
Obj_xml = new XML();
Obj_xml.load("myXML.xml");
Obj_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
Obj_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
trace("loaded");
myXml = Obj_xml;
trace("------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
trace("myXml.firstChild.childNodes::::::::::::::::::::");
trace(myXml.firstChild.childNodes);
trace("------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------");
}
Now create a new XML doc and copy in the following
code. Make sure to save this XML doc to same location
as the above flash movie, and call it myXML.xml.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE rss >
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<language>en-us</language>
<item>
<title>“We threw eggs at him”- Esha Deol</title>
<link>http://sify.com/movies/bollywood/ful...hp?id=13906346</link>
<description>... dared me to throw some rotten <b>eggs</b> at him” the gorgeous actress recollects. <b>...</b>
</description>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>
Now you can see that in the trace window when you
run the flash movie, squares appear where quotation
marks should appear

Anyone have any ideas ???

Thanks for any help.

Flash Grey Square Around Animations
Since a few weeks I notice that in almost all flash animations or menus that IE shows, a grey border appears when I mouse over it. I have to click over it to "activate it" (by activate I mean, for example, if it's a button, I have to make click twice to use it, first to activate the flash, and the other to follow the link). I don't know if it's due to some microsoft update to IE. Does anybody knows or suffers the same?

Thanks a lot!

Dynamically Size Stage And Display Area?
I have a slideshow that loads from xml and fades in a variety of sizes of images in random positions. I'm trying to set it up so that the swf (which is in a div tag in an interface) will resize depending on the browser size and will use the NEW stage size to determine the random x/y positions of the images (without resizing them) and will skip any images that are too big for the stage size...

Any ideas if this is possible? Dynamically sizing and determining the "working area" of a swf based on the browser/div size??

THANKS!!!!

MC To Display @ 100% Wide, But Showing No Borders AND Not Cutting Off Bottom
Hi there,

I want to make the movie display at 100% width of screen, but still show the rest of the clip at the bottom. Since it is outside of the screen ratio, it cuts off the bottom and gives me no options to scroll down.

I've got it at 100% screen width already. That isn't a problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Controling Text Boxes Display Area Via Code
Hi , i want to be able to change a dynamic text box's display area (which means not just scalling the whole thing but just increasing the size of the area showing the text) using a script.. though i'm not sure how to "talk" to my text box.

what functions are there in actionscript (i use flash 8) to do the following:

1)count the number of characters a TXT file has in var1
2)increasing either the X or Y or the boxes display area
3)checking the border of a text box (so i can check when the border is off the stage's limits and then restor it)

actually what i've been trying to make is a moving heading box ,a text loaded from a TXT and then resize the boxes size to fit all text into one line and then move it from the right to left until it reaches the end of the text and then loop the whole process.

i've managed to make the box movie and load the text but i cant control the box's properties using a code.

please help.

thanks in advance.

Can Flash Transform A Square Into A Trapezoid? (for Forced Perspective)
I know flash can do skewing, but that preserves the parallels, as does every matrix transformation.

I am looking to do basically a tabletop with some forced perspective so the back side (top) is narrower than the front side (bottom), but I would like the originating movieclip be square since I have a series of square tiles on it.

Not the end of the world if it isn't there, but it would be nice.

A Square Flash Banner Inside A Curved Html Container?
My boss wants a third party flash banner (advertising, etc) inside a curved HTML container.

He said you can make the flash sit in the background, whilst another colleague mentioned masking as a way around it.

I'm not even sure if its possible to do this, unless I put in a background image which sits in-front of the div which holds the actual flash.

Even so, is there a way of putting a square flash banner inside a curved html container, even if it means using mootools or jquery to accomplish this?

Thanks.

Detect Flash / Display If Have / Display Image If Not.
Im using PHP so this is for "programmers" who use flash (or anyone who knows php enough to make a detection script).

I need to have a flash movie displayed on a page if it can determine whether or not the browser has the flash plugin. If it doesn't (ie can't tell what version, no plugin, etc) then I want it to display a GIF/jPg instead.

Ie6 Crashes When The Mousepointer Leaves The Flash Movie Area. [Flash Player 8]
Not sure if this is the right area for this thread, but i'm not sure where it fits in...

I have a draggable map program that uses LoadVars.load to send location messages back to the server.

After a user saves a location, thereby triggering the load() method, and then moves their mouse pointer outside the area of the .swf movie on the html page, the browser crashes.

I haven't been able to replicate it on any other computer except this users', which is using Flash Player 8, and IE6. Of course the only user of this side of the app, is this user, so im forced to find an answer.

Anyone else run into this, or have any wisdom to impart on me?

...I Dont Get Anything About Flash...
Ok I just got the new flash program from christmas and I just watched a video on Newgrounds showing me how to do the moving of the circle. Thats about as far as I can get.

I was trying to make a flash with FF6 sprites in it but I cant get the crap to work right. I can get a background up but then when I try to put a sprite over it 2 things happen.

1. The sprite pixils up and looks really nasty, and
2. I cant figure out how to get the background of the pic to be transparant.

If anyone can help me I would appreate it a lot.

Also if anyone could send me a finished flash so I can look at the format of it. It would help a lot.

EDIT: I'm using Flash MX 2004

EDIT AGAIN: I really need help, plz!!!

Dont Know How To Put Flash Components Together?
Hello,

I know how to make different flash components, e.g. sound slider, image slider etc, but when i try to put them together to make a website they dont work. I have my template for my website in the flash doccument, but when i try to imput the sound slider that i created, it doesnt work when i preview it, it just stays as a still image and no sounds plays.

Do you need some action script to make movies in a flah website work togeter, or does it just play when it is imported into the doccument.

Thanks very much,

I Dont Want Flash To Refresh
hi, i have a site that loads 1 of 3 swfs for navigation. The problem is that when a button is clicked the flash file refreshes. I only want the file to refresh if the browser is refreshed, not if a button is clicked in the file...

here's the site:
www.pandoraultra.com

here's my container script:

filename = ["nav_red.swf", "nav_white.swf", "nav_gray.swf"];
path = "http://www.pandoraultra.com/navigation/";
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
loadMovie(path+filename[k], movieTarget);

the main navigation is 1 of 3 swfs that loads, click any of the buttons and u will see the swf reload and a new file in its place.

How do i fix this?? Thanks for any help

Dont Buy Flash Paper
I dont know about you, but when i bought my car i had the dealer take off thier dealer logo from the back panel of the car, something about paying ford 14k so they can advertise everywhere i went didnt seem right to me. I told the dealer remove it or i walk, and well they removed it, the promise of making some good cash to them ment comprimising free advertising for me.

When flash paper 2 came out, i thought of this... why would macromedia release a software that tacks a sizable logo on the top left corner of the FP toolbar and even worse, links directly to thier Flash Paper store page for purchasing the software. Now i know you might say, well flash has macromedia info on it, and so on ... but its not so blatant and in your face as a direct linked 55 x 85 logo on a mandatory tool bar that is seemingly unremovable.

As a long time customer of macromedia, it, to say the least, bothers me that they would relase a software with such a flagrant attempt at marketing. Now they say its not directly aimed at marketing thier product or advertising, but then why would you put a logo on something you sell.... the logo is nice, but its not such a grand work of art that it is needed to make the product better, but rather its an attempt at advertising.

The product is a great product and if you dont mind your clients or your internal staff viewing and linking directly to MM store within 1 scroll length and 1 click, then the software is great but if you take issue with paying someone money so they can advertise, well then dont buy it.

just my 2 cents i guess take it with a grain of salt...
