Flash :: Flashtrack Issue.

Please Help Me With My On/off Button For Flashtrack.
HI,
I've posted this is some of the other sections, but nobody is answering.

I am making a banner for my Car Audio Discussion board. The banner looks like a car stereo. What I'm working on is, when you press the preset buttons different music will play. Now what I also want to do is import flashtrack player for each loop.

When I put the player.mc movie clip onto my main movie, and press the button that is part of this clip, the flashtrack works fine. Now what I want to do, is make it for when a person clicks on one of the preset buttons, that makes the flashtrack player work. I can't seem to get the player to work when I move the button out of the player.mc.

Here is the action code that is on the original button.

on (release) {
tellTarget ("../load") {
gotoAndPlay ("play");
}
tellTarget ("../") {
gotoAndPlay ("eqstart");
}
../:status = "play";
gotoAndStop ("on");
}

I am moving the button onto my main movie, so what should I be changing in the code?

maybe I'm making this too confusing.

is there away to use an external button turn on the flash track player? If so, what should the code look like?

Here is the banner I have so far, without the flashtrack player in it. Just to give you an idea of what I'm trying to do.

On/Off Button For My Flashtrack Player
Hi,
I'm using a Flashtrack player in my Flashmovie, but I want the on/off button to not be inside the Player.mc movie clip.

What I'm doing is making a banner for my Car Audio forum, and the banner looks like a car stereo faceplate. So the preset buttons on the stereo will turn on different music. So I need the on/off button to be each preset.

The problem I'm having is since I'm moving the button out of the Player.mc movie clip I need to change the paths that the action script point too.

Here is what the original script looks like.

on (release) {
tellTarget ("../load") {
gotoAndPlay ("play");
}
tellTarget ("../") {
gotoAndPlay ("eqstart");
}
../:status = "play";
gotoAndStop ("on");
}

Since my buttons are on my main movie I'm trying to repath everything so here is what I got so far. The problem is, the tell target ("../") part. Where is this pointing too?
Somewhere in the player.mc movie? I don't see it

I'm not very experienced with action scripts so I need help repointing everyting to the right place to make the eq work.

on (release) {
tellTarget ("player_mc.load") {
gotoAndPlay ("play");
}
tellTarget ("../") {
gotoAndPlay ("eqstart");
}
../:status = "play";
gotoAndStop ("on");
}

I guess basically what I'm asking is, if I have the button on my main movie what should my script look like?

I hope I didn't confuse everyone

Here is what my banner looks like so far

Thanks

FlashTrack Next Track Option?
Seems like I've been at work at this for quite some time now and it seems that no matter what I try I cannot create a propper script to make the FlashTrack Player switch to a second flashtrack when the startup one is being played. There must be some way to script something that will make it "loadmovie" a new track, but I seem to be at a loss. Is there anyone out there that can help me? I know this could be a valuable fix for many. Thanks.

FlashTrack Control Question
If I use a flashtrak controller to play audio other than a loop, how do I get the bars to stop moving when the audio finishes playing.

Design guy... Not a programmer (obviously)

FlashTrack Player Next Track Option?
Seems like I've been working at this forever, can't quite figure out how to implement a button script to cause the flashtrack player to load a new movie and play it; seems like the complexity of the flashtrack player scripting will need a more complicated script that just a simple loadmovie command. Anyone have any ideas? its a pretty advanced issue i think. thanks a bunch guys!

Complex Audio Issue..or Maybe Just Syntax Issue
what's up peoples. I'm building a new site for my studio and having some audio issues i can't explain very well, so here goes:

I've got an external .swf successfully loading into _level6 of my project with it's own audio. and from reading thse forums, i know that if i want to control the audio independently of other audio, i need to attach the sound object to a seperate movieclip, which i'm doing and I can control the audio just fine. However, when i click to load in a dynamic image into a dynamicly loaded movieClip, the volume button no longer works. Both the soundobject's mc and the dynamic mc's are being loaded into the nextHighestDepth() so i don't think one is kicking out the other. Here's what i've got:

Code to attach the soundObject when the section starts:

Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("soundstage6",this.getNextHighestDepth());
work_sound = new Sound(soundstage6);
work_sound.attachSound("myaudiofile");
work_sound.start(0, 999);
Code to control the volume:

Code:
this.testVol.onPress = function () {
this._parent.work_sound.setVolume(0);
}
Code that loads in my dynamic images:

Code:
this.testLoad.onPress = function () {
_root.attachMovie("infoClip", "infoClip", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_alpha:0, _x:491.1, _y:193.9});
}
that testLoad button does severl other things when clicked, but when i comment out that particular line of code, the volume control button contines to work. I'm sure this has something to do with the fact that all of this is occuring on _level6 but i have no idea why or how to fix it!!!

Anybody have any ideas? Sorry for the long and complex explination!!

Mac Textinput Issue + New Player Fullscreen Issue
Please inform me if I am a total idiot,... but it appears that holding down backspace while in a TextInput on a mac will only delete one character rather than deleting chars as long as the button is held down. I have tried making the simplest project consisting of only a base sprite and a textinput, and it fails (i thought i may have been preventing the event from bubbling or something.) I tested the movie on PC and holding down backspace works fine. Is this a known issue? and so I just have to extend textInput?...

Also, it seems like when coming back from fullscreen in a swf embedded on a page causes some flickering of the swf content upon resizing the browser window, 3 people I know have also encountered this problem.

Thanks for any help,

Chris Laan

Button Issue In Flash - Program Issue
all of a sudden when i create a button and place it on stage i cant click it to drag it, scale or whatever...instead when i hover over it it behaves as in a compiled swf file (cursor changes into a hand,...).
How can i change that to the way it was? Anyone had this problem before? It is becoming really irritating.

Level Issue Or Version Issue?
hi,

wondering if anyone knows why this movie here:

http://www.pixel360.com/dev/zoompan.html

works fine as it is, but when loaded into another movie, into an MC called 'blankmc1' it will drag, but not zoom?

Also when i try exporting it as AS 2 and Flash8 the zoom handle sticks to the top of the screen?

Help With Crash Issue/actionscript Issue
Hello all,
My name is Josh and I want to say thanks for even reading my post, I appreciate any help I can get. I am here at work trying to edit a flash intro I bought from templatemonster (no im not a newbie, but this is the one my boss really liked, so what he wants he gets). Im trying to edit it here and i first opened it in Flash 8 which is what i normally use. So, im editing it and usually after I edit a few things I would like to get a glimpse so i test the movie real quick. Well, everytime the "export movie" dialog box came up, it stops at about a little more than half way and the box goes away and NOTHING comes up. IT doesnt freeze, but my test movie doesnt show like something usually would. So i tried installing/uninstalling it to no avail. Finally my boss went out and purchased flash cs3 and we installed that. So im editing it again, and went to test movie, and this time it gets 3/4 way done and "flash has unexpectedly quit" etc etc. So im starting to think its something with the actionscripting maybe?? i dont know but im really frustrated and need some help here. And also, even if I tried to just plain export the movie to swf, crashes too!
Thanks everyone!

Flash 8 Pro Issue Interval Issue
Hey, I've been working on my site for a few weeks trying to get it all just right, and I'm making it import text, to text fields from external documents, I've been using loadVariablesNum() and createTextField() to post the text onto the flash document.

ActionScript Code:
//0x393c39;

this.createTextField("forum_box",this.getNextHighestDepth(),212,3,162,120);
forum_box.wordWrap = true;
forum_box.border = true;
loadVariablesNum ("forum_txt.php", 2);
function ftv() {
if (_level2.forum_txt != undefined) {
trace(_level2.forum_txt);
forum_box.htmlText = _level2.forum_txt;
clearInterval(ftt);
}
}
var ftt:Number = setInterval(ftv, 100);

this function keeps looping, it is in a frame that is only called once, i tested this by placing a trace at the very begining , just to see if it would echo it to the output screen more than once, It seems my interval isn't stopped by clearInterval(). if anyone can see my issue here it would be greatly helpful.

Thanks

Issue With ' ' Not
How would I make this work?
Flash says I need a ' ; ' after the ' ! '
and if I add a '=' it asks for an opperhand.

onClipEvent(load){
Gospeed=0;
Goset=true;}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
Gotimer+=1;
if(GoSet=true){
Gospeed+=1;
}else{
Gospeed-=1;}

if(Gotimer>=5000){
Goset!;
Gotimer=0;
}
}

Lag Issue...
ok, i have a button that is duplicated and filled in with titles from an xml file. the buttons are actually 20 frame mcs. when you move your mouse over them they play and send the other clips back to the second frame using a funtion. i use loops so it lags a little and i would like to get rid of it. i am new to action script so i may be overlooking a simple solution.

funtion that sends them back to 2:
---------------------------------------------------------
function clearall (except) {
i=0;
while (i < xml1.firstChild.childNodes.length+1)
{
if(xml1.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.title != null){
if(xml1.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.title != except.text){
text2=_root["button"+i].gotoAndStop(2);

}}
i ++;
}}
--------------------------
on mouse over funtion used on buttons:

on (rollOver) {
_root.clearall(this)
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
----------------------------

XML Issue
hey all. heres what i got:

i have an external SWF that reads from an XML source datasheet. it is a game type of program that prompts users with a statement, and has them "file" the statement into the appropriate category.

i then have an interface that this SWF game must go into. i have a load movie command in the interface that calls up the SWF that reads the XML. what is happening is the movie is messing up. it loads the XML (ive traced it to verify) but does not work right...the questions wont advance, and the questions are registering as correct whether their wrong or not. anyone know why this is? is it an addressing issue in my XML SWF? please help asap.
thanks in advance

MAC OS X Issue
I am experiencing an odd problem with MAC OS X. We have a navigation system for online courses that uses Flash and XML. The XML file specifies sections and lessons to display in the navigation. For some reason, on MAC OS X, the table of contents in our navigation doesn't display properly. It's easier to see it than explain. Please go to http://dcecf.byu.edu/is/demo.htm. The left side shows a MAC OS X screen shot of the table of contents. The right side shows the PC and Pre-MAC OS X screen shot.

I'm hoping someone has an idea as to why MAC OS X cuts off the text and puts the "...". If more information is needed on how I am loading the text, I will explain more upon request. We are using the latest version of Flash. This has been an issue since Flash 6. We were hoping it would be fixed with Flash 7, but no dice.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

How Can I Fix This Issue?

.exe Issue
I made a CD for a client which had a walkaround gallery on CD. I had it set to autostart the .exe when the CD was inserted. This would play the intro and then would load the seperate galleries on clicking them.

However, i had each gallery to load as a .swf which DOESNT have the flashplayer encoded with them. This meant everytime he went to run the .swf without the flash player installed on other machines they'd fail to load.

I have to do a similar project with another CD now. This time i want seperate .EXE projector files to open from 1 master .EXE file when they are required. At the end of each id tell it to unload itself and then tell it go to another frame on the master which in end would load the next .EXE.

I know Flash has problems running .EXE files for security reasons. Is this therefore possible?

PHP Issue
Hi

Thanks!
Cheers!

PHP Issue

Pop Up Issue
I have this line on a button:

on (release) {
getURL("Ridge.html", "_blank");
}

But it comes up as a full window and I want to have it as big as the photo on the page no more. How do I do this? The image is 463x400.

Thanks

Pop Up Issue
I have a menu embedded in a movie symbol within a flash movie. Each button opens a pop up to a image gallery. Since I have placed the menu within a movie symbol now Explorer blocks the pop up. Any suggestions?

Basically the client wants the music to stay constant across the site. I used the pop up because I used DMXzone plugin to generate the .swf. Can I use a loadmovie() action script and accomplish the same thing. Does having the buttons within a movie symbol effect that.

Here is the site:

XML @ Issue
Has anyone every experienced this problem:

I have data coming from a MySQL database being exported into XML. I am then importing the XML data into Flash and plaing it in a scrollable multiline textbox. I have PHP functions formatting the data for XML and Flash functions formating the data for Flash once inside.

Everything works perfect when I run the Flash in preview mode or even in a browser from my computer. As soon as I upload everything the text being imported into Flash loses all '@'....!?!

Just a note....the font is embedded and all required symbols are embedded.

Any ideas...!?

Swf And IE Issue
Hi,
When i launch my page with flash content the whole swf file has a mouseover action as though it is a big button which it isn't. When i click it once it is fine and you can use the mouseover effects and buttons.

Is this a norton issue because it doesn't do this in firefox.

thanks

Not Sure This Is An AS Issue
Not quite sure how to do this:

I've got a series of pages which are being dynamically written that include multiple instance’s of the same .swf (an mp3 player used for providing music samples).

If this were all in FLASH (each player being a MC), I'd include script to deactivate the players not in use; so if a user has selected an example that is currently active none of the other examples would be able to play until either the initial example has stopped on it's own or by the user.

I'm wondering if there's a way to do this using FLASHVARS or something similar.

Any thoughts?

Btn Issue
Oh my God what am I doing wrong

I have created things so much more complicated than this

I have a MC that acts as a button, I have written this code a million times
why is it not working. Help Please!

Thanks in Advance!

Help Issue
Sorry did not mean to upset anyone by saying NO TIMEWASTERS but i have come into contact with people who tend not to really answer your question and include lots of Functions that are copmpletly irrelevant to the problem.
I have been trying to resolve this for a few weeks now and i find it frustrating to have script missing or trace and time functions added together with misleading Names and Punctuations.
I also feel that it is often the people who help others alot who sometimes get fed up with people taking from them all of the time so they end up confusing people instead.Well the answer is simple.Yes it is a voluntary site and noone really has to help if they do not want to but if you do decide to offer help than dont get resentful and do it with a good spirit.

[F8] FLV Issue
I know this is a really basic problem but can someone help me out on this.

I have 4 buttons. Each button will load a swf that has a FLVPlayback component inside it. When I click on the button, I cant get the FLV to play.
I have looked it the help menu and well... here I am.

This is the action script I have.

on (press) {
unloadMovie(1);
}
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("SRHormone.swf",1);
}

Within the SRHarmone.swf the FLVPlayback component has an absoulte URL to where the flv file is. Actually it is in the same root directory as the swf and my main swf.

The unloadMovie is so I can kill the previous playing movie. Now, everything works great when I am viewing it off of my computer, but when I post it on the net, it does not work. Prior to posting it, I changed the "current path" parameter to the a url address. I noticed that the path was locally on my computer.
