Flash :: Key Listener Problem..... Please Help Asap

[shared Object] [listener] Attach Listener To SO?
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build a simple sound control panel for voice-overs in an e-learning project.

I want to use one button to control whether or not users want sound played throughout the lesson.

Right now I'm using that button to write an SO that each audio file reads before playing anything. My problem now is if a user wanted to hear the audio after he or she has already entered the page. If a user clicks the audio-on button, it's simply changing the SO, not to be read until the next page and swf loads.

My initial thought was I could attach a listener to the SO, allowing Flash to interpret a change from OFF to ON and then start up the necessary sound files.

Would this work? I've searched and haven't found documentation for attaching listeners to SOs.

THANKS

Mouse Listener And Key Listener Problem..
Hi;

I used key listeners to detect the block in my crossword application but I have a focusing problem going on. I've tried everything but still couldn't find a solution. By the way I used a code that uses mouse listener to highlight the area I want to use but it sometimes craches the flash player. My .fla file is included in the message. Please help before I go mad.

Thanks...

A Little Help Asap
i need some help with my game. i made a dart game and when you press space bar the dart is thrown. the top of the code is if (Key.isDOWN(Key.SPACE)) {

how do i get the dart to fly when the space bar is released instead of when it is down??

another question:
i want it so if you hit the target, it will go to another frame. the target is its own symbol and its instance is called "target". when the dart flies onto the target it will go to and play something else. how would i do this??

last question:
in the bottom of the screen i have a moviclip "ammo". it displays how much ammo is left. the movieclip is made so every number of ammo has a stop action on it, and after 1 is says gameover. when you push the space bar, the dart is thrown and a telltarget action tell "ammo" to play, therefore lowering by a number. am i doing this correctly? and when "ammo" goes down to gameover, how can i make it end the game??

HELP ASAP
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a flash app that saves images a user has created to an access db with ASP.
Then they can click on a compare button to see what looks they have saved and compare it to thier original image.

I get all the data back into flash (SaveTime, SaveDate, SaveName, FlashURl)
SaveTime = The time the image was saved
SaveDate = The date the image was saved
SaveName = Name the user gave to the image that was saved (My Evening Look)
FlashURL = The original image name that was saved (image1.jpg)

I can get all that info back into flash but need to create a button that the user can click on and bring thier saved image back into the app.

The info comes back into flash from ASP as an array. I split the array with "," and then loop through and duplicate my movie clips to load the info.

Here is the code...

/*
depth = -1;
Name._visible = false;
Age._visible = false;
Sname._visible = false;
// split up the array by looking for the commas
Name_array = SaveName.split(",");
Age_array = DateSaved.split(",");
Sname_array = Flashurl.split(",");
// get the length of the array
// Name_length = Name_array.length;
// Age_length = Age_array.length;
// Sname_length = Sname_array.length;

// yposition = 38;
// looping everything
// for (i=0; i<Name_length; i++) {
// Name
//duplicateMovieClip(Name, "Name" add i, depth);
//setProperty("Name" add i, _y, yposition);
//Name.Name = Name_array[1];
//set("Name" add i add ".info", Name_array[i]);
//depth--;
// Age
//duplicateMovieClip(Age, "Age" add i, depth);
//setProperty("Age" add i, _y, yposition);
//Age.Age = Age_array[1];
//set("Age" add i add ".info", Age_array[i]);
//depth--;
////Saved Name
//duplicateMovieClip(Sname, "Sname" add i, depth);
//setProperty("Sname" add i, _y, yposition);
//Sname.Sname = Sname_array[1];
//set("Sname" add i add ".info", Sname_array[i]);
//depth--;

// Set the y position plus 30
//yposition = yposition+15;
//}

//stop ();

Hope someone can help me with getting these buttons to work.

Again Thanks for the help

Below is the code I am using to populate some buttons. I have two arrays buttonArray which labels the buttons
(Financials, Portfolio, Summary, Reports, Administration, Contact Us, Help) and movieArray which tells the buttons what to do(basically load in the proper movie and the data).
I can't get my buttons to recognize the movieArray.

When I click on the buttons it doesnt load the right movie it says undefined or gives me the name of the last piece of data in the array which is the world help. Help is part of the menu.

What am I doing wrong....need to get this working by end of today (5pm)

*_root.createEmptyMovieClip("tmButton", 0);
*holder._x=70;
*holder._y=50;

*buttonArray = _root.getObject(menuObject, "", "topmenu");
*movieArray = _root.getObject(menuObject, "", "mc_topmenu");

*//creates array

*function setButtons(){
*buttonLength= buttonArray.length;
*movieLength= movieArray.length;
*//distance between buttons
*xdist = 120;

*//loop through array and duplicate buttons
*for (k=0; k<buttonLength; k++){
*_root.tmButton.attachMovie("myButton","button"+k,k );
*_root.tmButton["button"+k]._x=i*xdist;
*_root.tmButton["button"+k].myReport=buttonArray[k];
*}

*for (kk=0; kk<movieLength; kk++){
*_root.tmButton["button"+kk].getReport=movieArray[kk];
*}

*//Function for button to call
*Button.prototype.onPress = function(){

Hello I'm new here and in desperate need of help, I've got stuff to do for tomorrow in Flash but something has been bugging me for a long time now and I can't concentrate.

The actual workspace in flash (not the background, just to make sure nobody thinks that) is a horrible code of #E5E5E5 which really isn't easy for me on the eye when working with a white background.

How do I change it???? It may sound simple BUT, since I got CS3 I just can't figure it out and I'm not exactly a learner either, I've been using flash for a long time but my head is gone AWOL...........

Im currently working on a project that involves "load in" and "load" out transitions..they worked perfectly...then I made an intro and I loaded the home.swf with the in and out transitions into my intro.swf (so it could fade to the home page after it completed). And it obviously renders this..code..

Button:
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root.currMovie = "articles";
_root.contents.loadMovie("articles.swf");
} else if (_root.currMovie != "articles") {
if (_root.contents._currentframe == _root.contents.midframe) {
_root.currMovie = "articles";
_root.contents.play();
}
}
}

Last Frame of swf:
_root.contents.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf")

First Frame:

midframe = 90
trace(_root.holder.midframe)

useless...

So I figured I could just alter some of the code instead of _root.contents...it could be _root.contents.intromc.loadMovie etc. etc. And while it works..the in and out transitions work..if I click on articles..it loads the articles.swf yippie the in and out transitions work...then when i click on media..the articles loads again..then when I click on worm..the articles loads again..and that's when Im like WTF? So Im boggled any help would be appreciated. I have to have this site up TONIGHT.

Any comments or help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi Folks,

Can anyone help me please i am really desperate to get some bugs fixed in my application as the project has to be finished ASAP.

Beware the file is 8MB and uses Flash MX 2004 Professional.

http://www.hannacabana.com/lo_final.rar

The issues:

I have a home button but want to restart the application again and for some reason its not working with gotoAndPlay("intro") do I require something else?

I also have a magnifying glass effect however because this takes over the mouse actions it wont allow me to go to the next page with the navigation.

I want to disabled my home button on homepage but have it enabled on all other pages. However this doen't seem to have worked on the help page its disabled.

I also have sound problems where some sound files are looping and i can't understand why. I would be ever so grateful if anyone can help me.

Thank You

Hi ok, this is the deal...

I've got this mainmovie.swf and in it there's a container movieclip with a submovie.swf loaded into it. Now in the submovie.swf I want a button that, when you click it, spawns an external browser window (fixed size pop-up)... How do i do this? Because I did the tutorials that assume that the button resides in the mainmovie.swf, but those do not work when the button is in the submovie.swf.

I put the mainmovie.swf in an index.htm and I pasted the javascript code in the head tags, but I guess I'm missing something here.

Can someone please tell me how to solve this?

Need Scrollbars - Please Help ASAP
A contributor to this site named Patrick Mineault posted 2 tutorials a while back, one of which was exactly what I needed to add scrollbars to a project I'm doing. What he posted, however, didn't work when I tested it and he hasn't answered my e-mail nor responded to my post above.

Does anyone know of a tutorial out there that will emulate a Windows-esque scrollbar w/ up down arrows, preferably like Patrick's example below? I'm in dire need of this really soon. Thanks!!

Need Some Help In Flash MX, Asap
Hello, I am currently creating a website in flash mx and need to get an interactive main page up and running. The problem is I am new to flash interaction and animation.

I've checked a number of different tutorials but none go in depth enough to give me the proper knowledge.

The main page will be done completely in flash, I've provided pictures below of what I want to help you understand what I am trying to do:

This image shows how my site would work in flash:

And this image shows how the website (main page) would look:

As you can see, its not an overly complicated page, but I am clueless of how to achieve it and need your help as soon as possible.

I would like a run through of how I would get stated, how I should organise layers, and how I would go about putting in animations/actions and then making them interact with other parts of the flash, such as the big turning wheel.

I don't mind you speaking to me as if I'm a newbie, because I am in this particular area

If you would like my Email or MSN messenger addy please ask.

Thanks in advance,

Preloader Help Asap
I'm trying to use the preloder code shown below. I copied this code from the Flashkit forum. I added line 1, the loadMovie()code.

1 - Problem: My movie ignor the loadMovie function
2 - Of all the code I have researched, none show me how to use the getBytesLoaded() function so I can actually see the bytes gradually being loaded into a text field.

loadMovie("sound/Screen 6.swf", "_level100");
_root.stop();
PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;
if (PercentLoaded != 100) {
setProperty(bar, _xscale, PercentLoaded);
} else {
_root.play();
}
percentDone = Math.ceil(percent)+"%";
bytesloaded = (_root.getBytesLoaded()/1000);
bytestotal = (_root.getBytesTotal()/1000);
bytes_loaded = Math.ceil(bytesloaded)+"kb";
bytes_total = Math.ceil(bytestotal)+"kb";

Second Attempt:
I also tried the code below. It is placed on the root in the first frame.

Prob: This code will dispaly the TOTAL in both fields instantly. Whereas I thought the getBytesTotal would display a gradule increase in bytes as they are being loaded.

function floader() {
loadMovie("sound/Screen 6.swf","_level100");
var total = _root.getBytesTotal()
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
loading = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (loading >= total){
trace("loading...");
//gotoAndPlay("Credits", 1);
} else {
trace("loading done");
stop();

}
}

}

What am I possibly doing wrong??? This preloading thing should be easoy enough. HOw come so many posts???

Thanks
