Flash :: Flash Doesnt Work In IE

Button Works, Doesnt Work, Works, Doesnt Work With Each Click
I have this code on a button

on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("smokeleft");
}

that obviously takes the viewer to a frame labled "smokeleft". At that frame there is a stop action and a MC with an instance name of "smokeleftmc"

I've followed this procedure with two more buttons and MC's, smoke and smokeright.

If a button is clicked once, it works perfect. However, if the button is clicked a second time, BEFORE one of the other two buttons is clicked, the play head will not trigger the MC again, rather it will move forward one frame (I assume it would move forward more if there wasn't a stop action).

If the button is clicked once, then a second button is clicked, then the first button is clicked a second time, it works exactly as designed. The only time there is a problem is if one button is clicked twice in a row.

How do I solve this? Thanks

Flash Player 10 Doesnt Seem To Work With Ff 3
Im running xp with firefox's latest v3 version. Im having issues installing flash player 10.

I download it, close my browser, install it, the installer runs and lets you close it, seems to have worked. Returning to firefox, you get the same screen, prompting you to download the player again. I see the flash player in my list of installed programs and removed it, and did the process again.. but still no flash content.

edit - oops.. seems to be only a site specific issue. the flash player works on adobes site, but not on thedailyshow where I was having the problem..

LoadMovie Doesnt Work In Flash Email - Help
Hi

I am trying to send an html email that contains a swf that uses several loadMovie commands. The page works fine if viewed as a webpage in a normal browser but for some reason the movies dont load when the email is viewed in Outlook (the original movie loads but in frame one a new swf is called and this doesnt appear, nor do buttons work which also call movies).

Is there any solution to this? I have tried making the references to the swfs absolute but makes no difference.

All swfs have been built in Flash 5.

Thanks for any advice at all.

Client Side Flash To Javascript Calls Doesnt Work On IE (on Most Machines)
For some reason, i cant get flash to talk to javascript client side via the flash integration kit or getURL in Internet Explorer.

Strange thing is when i upload it, it works fine. On some IE machines client side, it works fine but most of them dont seem to work.

Calling flash functions from javascript seems to work fine, but just not the other way around.

This is the ActionScript code im using for flash -> javascript:

Code:
//set up proxy calls from javascript
import com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy;
var proxy:JavaScriptProxy = new JavaScriptProxy(_root.lcId, this);

printPage = function(){
_root.proxy.call("PrintIframe","content");
}
And this is the Javascript in the html:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="./scripts/JavaScriptFlashGateway.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var uid = new Date().getTime();
var flashProxy = new FlashProxy(uid, './scripts/JavaScriptFlashGateway.swf'); //change to where the swf you have is located

//call this when you want to call the AS
function callAS(x)
{
//CALL ACTIONSCRIPT
flashProxy.call('eLink', x); //call the doStuff method and send following parameter(s).
}

function PrintIframe(content)
{
frames[content].focus();
frames[content].print();
}

function closeWindow(){
parent.window.close();
}
</script>

Help Needed, "password" Doesnt Work (FLASH MX)
i have a box similar to a credit card scanning box. to enter the site, it requires the user to enter "566404663" (that is "long_gone" on the numerical/alphabetical keypad) then click the enter key. when the user clicks on the enter key, it takes him to the site.

PROBLEM: when the user clicks enter, reguardless of what the user entered, it takes him to the site. i want it to only go to the site if the user enters "566404663" and clicks enter.

this is my actionscript for the button:
on (release) {
if (display = "566404663") {
getURL("http://www.geocities.com/taikobou_20/index.htm", "_blank");
} else {
displayStatus ="0";
}
}

can you please help me re-write this actionscript so that when the user clicks "566404663" and clicks on enter that it takes the user to the site and if the user enters anything other than "566404663" and clicks on enter that it would reset the display to 0?

check out the link to see the credit card scanning box:
http://www.geocities.com/taikobou_20/creditbox.swf

thanks so much for your time.

It DOESNT WORK
I have a movie and within that movie i have other nested movies, maybe one or two.
I am trying to load pictures into the lowest movie clip.

the code is as follows:
stop();
my_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
my_mcl.onLoadComplete = function(movieClip) {
trace("Loading is done for the movie clip "+ movieClip);
};
my_mcl.onLoadError = function(movieClip) {
trace("Error: " + movieClip+ " did not load.");
trace("Your load failed for the movie clip "+ movieClip);
};

// Set up button actions
next_btn.onRelease = function(){
nextFrame();
}
prev_btn.onRelease = function(){
prevFrame();
}

my_mcl.loadClip("photos/me-illustrated.jpg","jpgHolder");
name = "bright blue water";

For Doesnt Work?
hi guys can anybody tell me why this doesnt work?
I try to display a text in a textfield, depending on which button is klicked.
The script creates as much buttons as the number of the xml Elements.

But i get this error each time I click a button:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at MethodInfo-539()

can anybody help me? if I use a number instead of the "i" here:

ActionScript Code:
trace(dieXML.Sorte[i].Name);
textfield.text = dieXML.Sorte[i].Name;

it works.

Thanks a lot

ActionScript Code:
stop();
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Sorten.xml");
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var dieXML:XML = new XML();
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fertigGeladen);
myLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, EIOError);
myLoader.load(myRequest);

function EIOError(myEvent:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("feehler");
}

function fertigGeladen(event:Event):void{
dieXML = new XML(event.target.data);
var SortenAnzahl:Number = dieXML.Sorte.length();
trace(SortenAnzahl);

var i:Number = 0;

for(i=0; i<SortenAnzahl; i++){
var knoepfle:SortenButton = new SortenButton();
knoepfle.x = 10;
knoepfle.y = i*22+20;
knoepfle.buttonMode = true;
this.addChild(knoepfle);

Why..why..why.. It Doesnt Work?
Hi everyone

can any one figure out what am I doing wrong, I have been working on this simple thing for 2 days now and I am getting nuts: what I am trying to do is to make paperblock appear when I press button1. when I press button 2 make paperblock2 appear and paperblock1 disappear

the stage : 2 buttons, 2 paper blocks (paperblock1 and paperblock2movie clips as ), movie clip called actions (off the stage for initialization purposes only).

I start by intializing (I created a special movie clip, named actions, that contains the code):

onClipEvent (load) {
_root.paperblock1._visible=false;
_root.paperblock2._visible=false;
var changer;
}
(Changes the paperblocks to invisible + define a variable named changer)

then I put inside button 1

on (release) {
_root.actions.changer = 1;
}

and inside button2

on (release) {
_root.actions.changer = 2;
}

then I put in paperblock1

onClipEvent (load) {
if (_root.actions.changer=1) {
_root.paperblock1._visible = true;
} else {
_root.paperblock1._visible = false;
}
}

and in paperblock2

Why Doesnt This Work Right
this is just a button.

_target._x = _xmouse
_target._y = _ymouse

}

im trying to make it where you can drag

Why Doesnt This Work?
This is a pretty complex code, but i could really use some help.

Attach Code

function finished_loading(e:Event) {
var externalMovie = MovieClip(loader.content);
view14.addChild(externalMovie);

ExA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,TRANSA);
function TRANSA(e:MouseEvent):void {
Control14DWN_animator.play(); [B]Activates an animation[/B]
ExDWNA_animator.play();[B]Activates an animation[/B]
Manual1DWN_animator.play();[B]Activates an animation[/B]
TextDWNA_animator.play();[B]Activates an animation[/B]
view14.removeChild(externalMovie);[B]Should remove an external SWF, but it doesnt[/B]
setTimeout(RESET,0001);[B] activates the following script [/B]
}
}

function RESET():void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[L=http://www.jawilsonarchitects.biz/PreviewPORT.swf");]http://www.jawilsonarchitects.biz/PreviewPORT.swf");[/L]
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.COMPLETE, finished_loading);
loader.load(request);
}
