[FlashCS3]Help Needed - Loading Variable Text
Hi all,
Im doing a uni project - building my website in flash!
Im using actionscript 2.0, I'm not too experienced in this so excuse me if I use incorrect terminology.
Basically - my website has 5 links. Each time you click a link, the webpage is supposed to do an animation, and then load the information (txt file).
I've managed to code it, so that the txt file loads as soon the animation starts but I want it to load AFTER it finishes. Can anybody help?
I've used this
Code:
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
newsBox.html = true;
newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
};
}
I'm not sure if I've explained it thoroughly enough but if you are willing to help and I need to provide more information please let me know.
thanks in advance.

Creating Text/xml Files On The Client System
I'm currently looking into using flash for an internal application for my company.
I work for a transmission company, and I'm trying to create a simple ui for drawing sample transmission layouts. These are quite basic stick drawings.
I have no prior flash experience, currently no decision has been made on what we are going to be using to create the ui, but due to timescales I thought flash would be our quickest option. I have managed to prove every part of the technology, apart from it's io functionality.
Since the flash file will be part of a c# application, is it possible to create/update text/xml files on the client machine, without having to post to a web server?
thanks in advance

Help ME PLZZ.... HELPPPPPPPPPPPPP
ok i posted a few days back and got a reply which was very helpfull... but being a newbie am still confused... heres what am trying to do:
I have a BIG map which is Vector and is my main flash movie.....
i wanna add functionality so that users can zoom in and out on any area of the map.... i looked everywhere for similar examples and i found nothing... i hope u guys can help me out...
so just to get the picture clear ...
also once the user is zoomed in say at 50%.. i want him to be able to move to different areas of the map ... like going right and left etc... so i must use some mouse detection stuff..
am not sure
Heres the reply i got:
To Zoom-In:
1. When the user clicks a point on the map, store the X and Y coordinates of that destination point in two variables, startX and startY.
2. Calculate the distance in X and Y that you'd have to move your map from its current position in order for the destination point to lie in the center of your mask (i'm assuming your map would lie beneath a mask layer).
2. Using the distance information obtained above, use onEnterFrame and a move function (see below) to reposition the map so that the destination point is in the center of the map.
3. Use onEnterFrame and a scale function (same as move function, but scaling instead of moving... see below) to zoom in.
Once Zoomed In:
1. create East, West, North, South button which, when clicked, use onEnterFrame and a move function to shift the map left, right, up or down.
Code:
//MOVE
//define generic moveMe function to move any element at any speed to any final destination on the stage.
moveMe = function (targetMC, targetX, targetY, speed) {
dx = targetX-targetMC._x;
dy = targetY-targetMC._y;
targetMC._x += dx/speed;
targetMC._y += dy/speed;
// check to see if target has been reached.
if (Math.round(targetMC._x) == targetX && Math.round(targetMC._y) == targetY) {
targetMC._x = targetX;
targetMC._y = targetY;
targetMC.onEnterFrame = null;
}
};
//RESIZE
//define a generic resize function to resize any MC to any scale at any speed.
changeSize = function (targetMC, targetXscale, targetYscale, speed) {
var dx = (targetXscale-targetMC._xscale)/speed;
var dy = (targetYscale-targetMC._yscale)/speed;
targetMC._xscale += dx;
targetMC._yscale += dy;
//stop onEnterFrame once target scale is reached.
if (Math.round(targetMC._xscale) == targetXscale && Math.round(targetMC._yscale) == targetYscale) {
targetMC.onEnterFrame = null;
targetMC._xscale = targetXscale;
targetMC._yscale = targetYscale;
}
};
NB: You'll have to find a way to account for those circumstances where the user clicks on a point in the map that lies on the edge of the map. If you reposition the destination point to the center of the mask in those circumstances, the user will see the edge, and it won't look nice. Perhaps you can make the map area larger than necessary and make the outer portions of it unclickable.
heres where am confused:
what code do i use to find out where my mouse coordinates are ...??
what is onEnterframe??!!
wellt o make this easy for whoever decides to help ..... DOES ANYONE KNOW A SIMILAR EXAMPLE ON A WEBSITE OR A PROJECT THEY DID... i would really appreciate it... i can just extract the actionscript from it and study it that way....
please help fast... my boss is up my ass wid dis.

Only the position and size have problem.

[F8] PhotoGallery - Preloader Help PLZZ
Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could lend their expertise. I found this great tutorial for xml Flash photogallery. I used it and works great. Is there a way however, to load all my images before it goes and plays through when you click a button? I have like 7 buttons instead of the previous and next and each one calls on one array in the xml. I would hate for the user to have to wait for each image to load. I thought there was a way to load all at one and if they are all loaded then do its thing? Is there?
function doLoadImages() {
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("xml/images.xml");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
xmlTot = xmlData.getBytesTotal();
trace("xmlDate Total = "+xmlTot);
xmlBytes = xmlData.getBytesLoaded();
trace("xmlDate Percentage = "+xmlBytes);
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
[B](note picture is the holder for the image being loaded)[/B]
trace("Filesize Picture Bytes = "+filesize);
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
trace("Filesize Picture Bytes = "+loaded);
preloBar._visible = true;
if ((loaded != filesize) || (xmlBytes != xmlTot) || (xmlMovie.loaded == false)) {
preloBar.prelo_bar._xscale = Math.round((loaded/filesize)*100);
trace(preloBar.prelo_bar._xscale);
} else {
preloBar._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
trace("Loaded both image and XML");
}
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
}

I have some stupid questions which may sounds irritating and need much explainations.....Im damn sorry but i desperately nid help....cos i been trying to find explainations and tutorials for mi to understands...but i counldnt find... Here goes.....
I have alot of links for the menu and each links are created in different fla and swf files. My home btn link to "Home.swf" file and so on....
All links are beautifuliy working...Im impressed as i dont used actionscripts alot...The only actionscript beside "gotoandPlay" is-->
on(release)
{ LoadMovieNum ("Home.swf",0) }
But i dont really understand how exactly it used. the "0" is for the level right? What is a level? How i use the level to load my swf files? I meant how would i assigned the level? Cos the user that use my programe will not go in sequence. They may go any link they one.
The problem with my programe is that when i open the Home swf files and maximize it...then open a link frm there it load a new swf but the size will go to original.... How can i make it all the same size and position. ( i did used 800 x 600 to all my fla).

The Rewind And Fastforward Buttons Do Not Work, Can Anyone Plzz Help Me
Hi,
I have tried to create a movie controller and it has five buttons: Pause, play, stop, fastforward and rewind.
I am trying to test a movie, which is in the a .swf file. The problem is that the movie extends upto 175 frames.
I can get the play and stop button to work, but the rewind and the fastforward button just rewinds or fastforwards only one frame at a time.
the code for the rewind button is:
stepBack.onRelease = function() {
playing = false;
_parent.prevFrame();
};
the code for the fastforward button i s:
stepForward.onRelease = function() {
playing = false;
_parent.nextFrame();
};
How do I fastforward or rewind it by 5 frames, so that I can see the affect of rewinding and fastforwarding?
Please help me!!!!

</xml>
and now, i want to parsing the xml and get the id node from this xml
so here's the code:
/*global variabel declare*/
var label:TextField;
var duplicate_genre:MovieClip;
/*end declare*/
/*Opening connection with xml*/
myXML = new XML();
var id:Array;
var path_id:Array;
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.load("http://localhost/subcat/index.php/movie/genre");
myXML.ref = this;
myXML.onLoad = function(succes) {
if (succes) {
var root = this.firstChild;
var nodes = root.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
subnodes = nodes[i].childNodes;
duplicate_genre= _root.genre.createEmptyMovieClip(["container"+i], _root.genre.getNextHighestDepth());/*make container for dynamic txt genre*/
this["label"+i]=duplicate_genre.createTextField(["labelor"+i], 1, -422, (i*28.5)+(-200), 143.8, 22.6);/*declare position text for genre*/
/*conditional if text <20*/
if (i<20) {
this["label"+i].text = subnodes[2].firstChild.toString();/*write genre xml to dynamic text*/
path_id=_root.genre["id"+i]= this["container"+i]=subnodes[0].firstChild.toString();/*declare id genre xml*/
trace(duplicate_genre+path_id);
/*opening otherXML */
otherXML = new XML()
otherXML.ignoreWhite = true
duplicate_genre.onRelease = function() {
var string="http://localhost/subcat/index.php/movie/lists/1/"+_root.genre.path_id;/*declare url for movie list*/
trace(string);
otherXML.load(string);/*function for load url movie*/
otherXML.onLoad = function(succes) {
if (succes) {
var totalpage = this.childNodes[1].firstChild.toString();
totalpage_txt.text = "("+totalpage+" Movies)";/*function for display total page*/
var root = this.firstChild;
nodes = root.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
subnodes = nodes[i].childNodes;
_root.genre["cover_title"+i].text = subnodes[1].firstChild.toString();/*function for display movie name*/
_root.genre["genre_name"].text = subnodes[3].firstChild.toString();/*function for display genre name*/
}
} else {
trace("Error loading otherXML");
}
};/*end other xml load function*/
};/*end conditional for on release*/
} else {
trace("erorr loading xml document");
}/*end if text < 20*/
}/*end for Myxml*/
} else {
trace("Error loading XML document");
}
};
/*end connection for myXML*/
the trouble begins here, when i want to take id node at xml and parsing it into http://localhost/subcat/index.php/movie/lists/1/"+_root.genre.path_id,
i'm always get id from the last xml which is "44", and can't be suitable with te container which i clicked,
can u see the problems??
sorry my poor english
anyone have advice???
thanks
Flashcs3 Movie Booboo
Firstly hello! I have been a forum reader for a while - first time forum poster! I am currently making a site for a friend which I have the "layout" uploaded at http://kunkelscleaning.comze.com/ ok.... so in the perfect world that exists only in my little head.. I thought I could make the bubbles bouncing around into buttons haha! Seems that its not so easy... I have it set to AS2 but can set it to AS3 I imagine... but when I started identifying buttons etc. all I could make it do was have X content load up but everything else stops animating. I am very new at flash and this is really the first thing Ive done for flash. I imagine I make separate flash movies and include them in the folder so they can just loop? or is there a AScript that I need - :S ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! Oh and I know im missing info please just ask away and ill try my best, so on that note Sorry in advance!

Is Flash 8 Compatable With Flashcs3?

Unicode's PUA Values In FlashCS3
Hello!
I have a client using Flash CS3 on WinXP. He is having difficulties
using an OpenType TrueType font with some glyphs encoded in Private
Use Area, which simply won't show up.
After browsing online help it seemed to be feasible though.
I tried in a Flash demo myself, but as I have very few knowledge of
the software, I've been unable to replicate the problem.
Beside from getting any step-by-step hint to get this working, can
anyone around here confirm that it is possible to call PUA glyphs in
Flash and output them?
Apart from this narrowed issue, maybe using unicode to call glyphs
from an embedded OTTT font in Flash is not the right way. Glyph
names, indexes or hexadecimal values may be easier, more flexible and
reliable?
Any feedback much appreciated! Thanks.

[FlashCS3-AS2] Duplicate Mc, Random _y Help
Greetings - I've been prowling and found a start for what I'm trying to do. Need help refining it. I pilfered the snowconfetti.fla AS and have modified it, but not quite there.
I want to attach a MC at a random _y location, and move it left to right across the stage, at random speeds. Then when it goes offstage, a new one is generated.
Right now the interval loads a new clip at 8 sec. no matter where the current clip resides on stage, so I'm sure that is wrong.
Code:
function brand() {
clip = attachMovie("brand_mc", "brand"+i, i);
clip._x = -50;
clip._y = Math.floor(Math.random()*640);
clip.xspeed = Math.random()*4-1;
clip.onEnterFrame = move;
i++;
if(i > 20){
clearInterval(myInterval);
}
}
function move() {
this._x += this.xspeed;
if (this._x>1100) {
this.removeMovieClip();
brand();
}
}
myInterval = setInterval(brand, 8000);
Thanks much for the help!
Email Button - FlashCS3, AS2.0
I have a flash file and I have 2 buttons at the end that I want to link to emails addresses. I've been using the code:
on(press){
getURL("mailto:you@email.com")
}
I don't have these on an action layer, but on the frame containing the button. All of this works, but when I click the link, a blank html page pops up in addition to a new email form in my email program (thunderbird.)
Does anyone have a solution to this? Or an easier way to link two different buttons to two different email addresses?
TIA!
[flashcs3] Photogallery Needs Refining
I've gone through several tutorials and managed to create a photogallery far beyond what I thought I was capable of. (yay!) While it has all the features I could want (thumbnails in a nice scrolling grid, slideshow option, etc) I've reached a couple of vital stumbling blocks.
a) centering the first image.
Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("fullImage_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
fullImage_mc._x = 100 + ((Stage.width-fullImage_mc._width)/2);
fullImage_mc._y = (Stage.height-fullImage_mc._height)/2;
This works perfectly for all subsequent images, but the first one is displayed wrong. This is because Flash doesn't know the image's height or width before it's loaded. However, if I change these locations to something static, there's a flicker when loading the other images, where the image is first loaded at the static location, then moved to the center.
b) positioning the preloader. Obviously I'd like this to be centered, but the more I've played with it, the worse it gets.
Code:
fullPreloader.onLoadStart = function(target) {
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "Geneva";
myFormat.size = 36;
myFormat.align = "center";
myFormat.color = _root.mycolor;
target.createTextField("my_txt",target.getNextHighestDepth,0,0,400,100);
target.my_txt.selectable = false;
target.my_txt.setNewTextFormat(myFormat);
};
This is a secondary issue and at the moment I've just moved it to the top left of the image. If anyone has good advice that would be great, otherwise I may just hide the preloader.
c) slideshow doesn't wait for images to load. So with large images/slow connections the slideshow will move on to the next image before the current one has loaded. My initial solution was to load the next image in a hidden mc whenever an image is loaded and while this kind of works, there are still issues when there are lots of images in the gallery. I've removed this attempt from the attacted file.
What do you think? Is there any hope? Thanks for your help!
? Creating A Way To Run Files From A CD ?
I would like to create a flash file that allows you to use buttons to execute, or download, or retrieve files from a CD. Just like GetURL allows you to retrieve files or images from website, I want to do this for a CD.
Think of a new game on CD. It autoruns, and then when you make a selection it either installs, executes, or downloads a file from the CD. I would like to create this but how???
Creating Txt Files
I want to tell flash to create a .txt file with the name that is stored in a variable (_root.name, this is in a dynamic textbox) and then put some text in the file, how do I do this in flash?
If it can't be done in Flash (actionscript version 2) then could I perhaps tell a PHP file to do this, I have no idea how though.
Thanks in advance for any help,
