Autostart On Flash Movies?
I have made a flash movie and it works fine when i test it as I'm making it, but when I upload it to the server and view it on the webpage, the movie doesn't start automatically, I have to right click it then hit play. Is there something that I did wrong when I made the movie. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Flash Buttons Don't Autostart
Sorry if the question doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm really really new to Flash.
I'm using IE 6 and 7 (2 different pc's) to test on.
If I view a swf file that has animation it starts as soon as the page loads however, if I load a swf with a button on it (like one with a hover effect) I can not get it to start unless I click on the control first and then hover over it.
When I hover over the button the tooltip says, "Click to activate and use this control"
So I have to click on the control and then it works, but animations do not require this action. They start up as soon as the page loads.
Is there a setting or something in IE or in flash itself that I should have enabled to allow the buttons or menu to autostart as soon as the page loads?
Thanks, and again sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Autostart CD ROM
HI,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I've created a flash movie which I want to burn onto a cd rom. I've saved the projector file and everything, but I want it to start automatically when you insert the cd, is there a FS command or some actionscript to do this? It's for use on a mac and I am using a mac.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Autostart Help
Hello all. I've been trying to learn more about sound and flash lately and have an existing mp3 player that I need help with.
I've built my own simple mp3 player so far, but this one is a bit more complicated and I'm stuck on one thing...
What needs to be added/changed so that this player will not autostart?
I have tried changing this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,true) to this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,false) but it still autostarts.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flash and I've tried searching on this topic for something that will answer my questions for this particular player, but no luck.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Source code is below.
Thanks,
Opusmx

Mac Autostart With Application
hi there,
my problem is to create an autorun for a cd-rom which
starts a html file with a browser.
autorun itself is working fine, unless u use os X. I think
they just skipped it, so it will work only on os 9 or earlier.
well, if i e.g. create a html file with dreamweaver, autrun will
open the html file NOT in a browser BUT in dreamweaver.
the windows autorun for the same thing works fine, if u use stuff
like runfile.exe in addition.
so does any1 have a clue, how to solve this or if there's a similar
utility for mac??
as usual every help appreciated

Loadmovie Must NOT Autostart. How To Do This?
Hello :-)
Maybe one of u knows the answer to this problem.
I have a swf, lets name it swf1. In swf1 a movieclip is playing. During the playing of swf1(the user is watching the movie) I load a second swf (lets name it swf2) with the ‘loadmovie’ action. I only want to do this because on the next page of my website swf2 is needed. So by ‘preloading’ it, it’s already in the browsers cache and the user doesn’t have to wait for swf2 to download when he surfs on. Now the problem. Swf2 is a movie clip with video and sound. When swf1 is playing and swf2 is fully loaded, swf2 begins playing to. I know this is the normal behaviour of AS and the loadmovie command. The result is that swf1 and swf2 are playing over each other. That’s not what I want.
1. Is it possible to give a loadmovie command the option NOT to start playing when it is loaded? When yes, how to do this?
2. If 1 is not possible, can i mute the sound of a loaded movie?
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible, are there other ways to ‘preload’ swf’s in the background (without playing them) for later use on the website?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greetings, Luut.

Disable Autostart
This is probably one of those things that is so simple and staring me in the face that I just don't see it however,
How do you disable the autostart on a flash clip? We are placing a flash clip on a website and want to have the flash clip default autostart setting set to disabled so that users who are not interested in the clip are not forced to listen to it against their will, while users who are interested can simply select the play button.
(Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8)
Thanks.

Can't Turn Off Autostart
I'm using MX 2004 Pro.
I've created an .flv file from a QuickTime movie, audio only.
When I created the .fla and .swf, I UNCHECKED "Automatically Play" in the Media Playback Window of the Component Inspector - but the audio ALWAYS starts playing when the page loads, even though the controller says, "Paused."
I've tried all of these parameters in the code on the HTML page, to no avail:
<param name="play" value="false" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,

Autostart Issue-flv Player
I got this FLV player(click to download the source) and i ain't no genius in flash that's why I'll post this here if you please.
My problem is that the autostart won't work and i have no idea how to solve this problem.
I remember i tried, months ago, to put the code autostart=1 or true on the html code but that wasn't helpful at all so i guess there is something to do with the AS script to make this work
I know that the xml playlist is correct and there is nothing to change about it
Well,I hope ill get some help.

I have developed a flash file with combo box which displayes all the XML files in the directory and after selecting a particular XML file the flash file reads the XML file and displayes the content of the XML file in flash in a fashion I have done. But, if I chose another XML file which is a blank XML file, still the flash file shows the previous file's content in the flash. How to clear that previous file's content?
If I chose someother XML file which is having some content then it shows correctly. But, if I chose some blank XML file, the flash file shows the previous content instead of showing it blank. pls help me how to clear the previous file contents?
Why Does Flash Re-load Content When Content Within Hidden/shown Area?
Hi all,
A purely academic question for someone about how Flash loads. I've written a simple Flash image scroller script, see: http://www.benjaminkeen.com/software/image_scroller/
On the page above, I separated the various content (installation instructions, demo, download file, etc) into separate pages, which get hidden/shown via JavaScript. Very straightforward.
My question is: why, when you go from the "Overview" to "A few examples" sections (both of which have a demonstration scroller), does the flash get "re-drawn" each time? I don't understand - I thought that it would simply get loaded the first time the browser calls it - not every time the content becomes display:blocked through javascript...?
I guess my follow up question is: can this be prevented?
Script To Make Projector Autostart On Mac?
I was wondering if there was a script that would make a projector auto start from a mac platform. As in, the user inserts the CD into their computer, and the flash movie automatically launches and plays. (not in a browser window, just through the projector)
I've had no trouble finding the script for a PC, just haven't had the same luck for the mac.
Thanks.

[CS3] Media Player Component No Autostart
Okay,
I'm going insane here - I have checked the option on the component (on the stage) to not autostart - yet it autostarts the download anyways (it is set to false in the HTML as well). Driving me crazy here. Anyways, what I want is like an embedded You Tube movie, it places an icon over the start image and once the user clicks it then it starts the stream.
If I need to use Actionscript please inform me of where to place it (on the button, on the frame, etc), also of what form of AS to use. Thanks for the help.

Query - Audio Track Autostart
Hi there,
A quick question, I am using an audio track for a website.
A movie clip sits on the main timeline and is linked a .wav file.
The movie clip contains a button in frame 1 that uses the following code to start the audio playing:
on (release) {
s.start(0,100);
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Frame 1 actions has the following code:
s = new Sound(this);
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.setVolume(100);
It works perfectly, but takes a user clicking the button to start the track.
I want it to auststart. Using an OnClipEvent to start the audio makes a huge mess! Any ideas?

1. Have the slideshow start automatically
2. Have music play automatically

Can someone help me? As Sargent Shultz said, "I know nothing, nothing!"

Music Loop Autostart Problem
Hi.
I created a player in Flash MX that loops an external MP3. However, this looping only starts playing automatically in Flash Mx test environment. When I put the SWF in the browser the music loop does not start automatically; I have to press my play button to get it started. Here's the actions frame.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("sample.mp3");
myMusic.start(0, 0);
myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
myMusic.start(.1, 0);
};
Any help is much appreciated.

Scrolling Image Autostart? Code Included...Please Help
I am trying to make an image scroll from top to bottom. As ur mouse goes over it, you can scroll it back up or down. It stops at the top and bottom. But I can't get it to have a default scrolling speed and direction for when there is no mouse on it. Here is the code I have on the movie clip! Thanks!
onClipEvent (load)
{
ycenter=150;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 800) _y=800;
if (_y < -535) _y=-535;
}
The if statements stop it at the top and bottom. I still need those to work after we get it to start scrolling. I need it to act as if the mouse is already at the top of the .swf file. Thank you!

[CS3] How To Delay Html Content Until After Flash Content
I am working on a site where I want to have a few flash elements on the page ( i.e the navigation and the logo. ) to animate in before the the a block of text ( in a div) will be shown. The flash elements will stay on screen and be used after loading as the nav with interaction.
I don't want it to be a true flash intro before the site ( I already have one actually). I would rather it be a sequence that becomes visible as the page loads.
As I am typing I am wondering if this needs to be done in javascript or if it can be done via the embed parameters.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
External Content Loader With Multiple Content Types (trouble Loading Graphics)
Hey all!
I am yet another new project. Our flash designer here isn't a big AS guy, and asked me to write a reusable class so that he can load a variety of content types using minimal amount of code on his part. It's also going to be the main component piece in a larger external content player once I'm done with the class itself, so I am making the loading functions into public methods of the loader object than can be called from a button, etc.
I have the code for the text and html parts working (although I can't get stage.width and stage.height to work in the class or from the frame).
The problem I have is that I can't get the graphics content to load (the swf/pic content). Could you please check my code and tell me what I'm missing? I'm sure it's something simple, like it always is.
thanks a million!

Scroll Pane Content - Accessing Values Within Content Mc
hey all -
i'm having a bit of a problem. i need to access the .text value of various text fields within a mc that is presented in a scroll pane. i need to check the value against another value, and i'm having trouble grabbing it.
here's what's not working:
//within a for loop where "i" is incrementing
myContent = scroll_pane.getScrollContent();
myText = eval(myContent + ".text" + i +"_txt");
trace (myText.text);
when I run this, myText ends up equal to: _level0.scroll_pane.tmp_mc.text10_txt
where i=10 in this case (all the others increment no problem)
however, if I trace (myText.text) I get nothing (not undefined, just nothing). however, if i forcibly trace(_level0.scroll_pane.tmp_mc.text10_txt.text), it will show me the .text of this text field.
any ideas as to what is happening here?
thanks

Hiding/Masking Off-stage Content (external Content)
Hi,
I'm loading an image gallery into another movie. The image gallery itself uses XML to generate a row of thumbnails dynamically. In it's own player, this is fine, but when loaded into the larger movie, the row of thumbnails extends far beyond the container clip.
I've set the size of the container clip with an onLoad function, but I have no idea how to appropriately mask it so there is no spillover. Using a mask in the gallery clip doesn't work because the gallery is 100% scripted (unless I'm missing something terribly basic).
Is there a general method to use, aside from creating infinitely large opaque boundaries around the stage?
Thanks for any tips or insight!
AS3 Loader.content Access To Partially Loaded Content
I have a main swf that loads an external swf. The external swf is a fairly large video embeded on the timeline.
Ive got my Loader all setup correctly, handling PROGRESS, COMPLETE and INIT events all fine.
What id like to do (which i could do in AS2 very easily) is start the playing and accessing variables in the loaded swf before it finishes loading. If i do these things when the video swf is loaded completely, everything works fine.
Any attempt to access Loader.content or the container clip ive placed Loader.content in, BEFORE its finished loading (when it reachs, lets say, 20%), i get error:
#2099 The loading object is not sufficiently loaded to provide this information.
Anyone have any ideas on how it could be possible to start messing with loaded SWF content before all of its frames are loaded? Thanks in advance for lookin over my post!!

Dynamic Content Presented Over All Normal Content
I have a bunch of generated movie clips that I am creating using the duplicate movie clip function.
The problem I am having is the generated clips are covering up content. Are there any options....(I really don't feel like creating both layer a and b dynamically.)
this is how the movie is publishing:
-----layer A----- (generated content)
-----layer B----- (normal non-generated content)
-----layer C----- (normal non-generated content)
this is how i want the movie to publish:
-----layer A----- (normal non-generated content)
-----layer B----- (generated content)
-----layer C----- (normal non-generated content)
thanks for your help,

Error On Page: Level0.content.content
Hey guys, I hope this is the right place to post something like this.
I am definately a newbie at Flash, and I recently made a site for my gaming clan. ( http://www.aechq.com ) I have fixes all the bugs on the site, save for one that I can't find the problem that is making it occur. After the loadtext comes up for each individual page, an error will flash ( the same error that shows up when the page cannot be found ) and then the page will load normally. The error that flashes in the background is
Code:
level0.content.content
This is rather annoying, because if you aren't paying attention, you won't see it but once you do, you can't help but see it every time. Being the "noob" that I am, I don't have a clue how to fix this one...and I can't find what's wrong. If I could get some input, I'm sure it's just something small that I can't figure out.
Any help is appreciated, and off topic suggestions are fine too.
Button To Reveal Content Then To Hide Content

thanks in advance.

Diverting Users W/o Flash Plugin To Non-flash Content
i have a quick job where i am designing two simple animated flash elements for someone's page. their client would like it so that if the user does not have the flash plugin, they see two static images instead.
i know i can make the static image the background img for the cell that holds the flash content, but is there a way to tell the browser that if it's missing the flash plugin to not indicate anything is missing and just display the bg img? or a jpg instead...
there is mention of something in the flash help about "Flash Dispatcher"... i don't have a "Goodies" folder in my Flash MX directory, is this something that is on the installer CD that you install separately? my CD is buried somewhere (probably under a million wires and dead PCI cards), but if i can find it, is this something that can do what I need?
here's the text from the help file:
When publishing Flash content on the Web, you can configure a Web server to make it easier to play Flash movies, using a script-based detector to determine whether a user has the Flash Player plug-in or ActiveX control installed. Called the Macromedia Flash Dispatcher, this detector is included in the Macromedia Flash (SWF) Deployment Kit, in the Macromedia Flash MX/Goodies folder.
The Dispatcher is a combination of JavaScript, VBScript, and Flash movie that screens incoming traffic to your Web site. The Dispatcher detects whether the user's Web browser has the Flash Player installed, and if so, what version. You can configure the Dispatcher to load a document with Flash content, load alternate content, or oversee the updating or installation of the player.
