Movie Won't Work On PCs, Only MAC



I created a simple animated icon with Flash 5 on an iMAC. The problem is that the icon only shows up on the MAC platform not PCs. On the PC it is totally blank.

Here is the link to the page with the icon on it. For you PC users the flash icon is suppose to be below where it says "Click Here to view our finishes.."

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks

Jeff

Drop Menu : Rollovers/GetURL In A Movie Don't Work...and The SWF Doesn't Work In FF
My links/rollovers don't work in Mozilla and the dropdown menu part don't work (the rollovers and the getURLs) in any browser.

What's wrong with this??? I think it's something simple.
I've already tried:

Code:
this._lockroot = true;
I also tried writing the AS as:

Code:
one.title.text = "The Text";
one.onRollOver = over;
one.onRollOut = out;
function over () {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function out () {
this.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
one.onRelease = function(){
getURL("http://www.thelink.com");
}
...didn't work...

I hope someone can help!

Why Would Flash Movie Work At Home & Not At Work?
I've verified the javascript works. I verified that my ActionScript works - at home anyway - in Firefox and IE6. When I brought my code from home and ran it on my work computer, the Javascript function fails to execute in Firefox! Firefox! Then, the JavasScript function fails to execute in IE7, which I halfway expected...

The strange part in all this is that when I use Firefox's IE view plugin (views Internet Explorer as a tab in Firefox), the Flash movie is fully active - it calls the javascript function as intended, The hyperlinked movieclips open new pages as expected, etc. Why is this?

I need this movie to function here at work the way it functioned at home! I know that ActionScript works the way it should where ever you use it... The JavaScript isn't to blame - I know it works in all the browsers I use... In both cases, home and work, I've ran all my files (HTML, SWF) from the same directory, so I'm not worried about conflict between realative and abolute paths...

Does it have something to due with Flash security settings? Does it have something to do with the HMTL object tags I'm using? That's the only thing I can think of.

This is work-related. Please help!











Attach Code

>>The AS2 is simple:

import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

closeDiv_btn.onPress = function() {
ExternalInterface.call("disappear");
}

>>The javascript is lenghtly so I won't show it here, but I've verified that the function works and is properly named "disappear()".

Making Loaded Movie Navigation Work On Main Movie
how do i make a movie(navigation with buttons) that has been loaded into one movie(main movie) control aspects of that movie through button actions.

for example: nav movie button making main movie go to a particular scene and load a movie in it.

Targeted Movie Clips Don’t Work Once Loaded Into A Container Movie.
Here’s my problem…

I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward.

Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie.

For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.

These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works.

I believe it’s because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the “_root” in the child movie is no longer the actual root?

I have tried both methods in the child movie:

//method without using ‘with’
_root.ContentWindow.play();

And using the “with” action like so:

//method using ‘with’
with (_root.ContentWindow) {
play();
}

It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it – cuz now the MC “ContentWindow” is no longer one level down from the “_root” but two levels?

For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()

Can anybody please help me with this? I’m afraid I have a ton of work that’s relying on this functionality and my deadline is dangerously drawing near!

My Flash Movie Won't Work Inside Another Movie?
I have a menu that rises and falls with actionscript, though when I put the menu into a movie clip, the menu does not rise or fall anymore. :-( I can't figure out why the movie will work on the main frames, but not when I place it into a movie clip. It would be nice to have everything into a movie clip so that it does not take up so much space on my opening frames. Can anyone take a look at my .fla and tell me what I'm doing wrong?! Thanks!

My Movie Won't Work Help Plz
Hey all,
Ok so I have 2 Movie clips in one scene. I put the 1st clip (called UGL) on the first frame of the main timeline and I put a stop() action on it. Then I put the second movie clip (called Powered) on the 2nd frame of the main timeline.

On the last frame of the 1st clip I put the action:

TellTarget (_root){gotoAndPlay (2){

Now this is what people on this forum told me to do to make the movie work. I tried it and it doesn't. It just plays the 1st frame of my 1st clip and then plays the 1st frame of my second clip and then stops! Please help ! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Thanks for any tips... Later...

Movie Won't Work On _Level1?
Hi,

I'm working on a shopping cart and need variables on _level0 to be updatable on _Level1. My shopping cart code works on _Level0, but when I load it on _Level1, it doesn't.

Basically, I need to be able to have a series of variables stored +/or presented dynamically on three levels of my movie. Here's the code for one drag and drop cart element:

on (press) {
startDrag ("/orn1");
tellTarget ("/orn1fader") {
nextFrame ();
}
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag ();
if (getProperty("/orn1", _droptarget) eq "/cart") {
/orderform:quantity1 = Number(/orderform:quantity1)+1;
/orderform:total1 = /orderform:quantity1*15;
setProperty ("/orn1", _visible, "0");
trace ("/orn1 droptarget eq /cart!");
tellTarget ("/orn1fader") {
play ();
}
} else {
setProperty ("/orn1", _x, /rn1_x);
setProperty ("/orn1", _y, /rn1_y);
tellTarget ("/orn1fader") {
gotoAndStop (1);
}
}
}


Please help!

Thx,

Bug Not Making Movie Work?
I found that my flash movie sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. If the site viewer has flash5 player the movie will not fully load and remain stuck on the first frame.
I made my flash site using flashmx and if I publish it for a flash5 player I get links and buttons that wont work so I have to publish it as a flash6 player. But like I said earlier, if someone comes along to view the site with a flash5 player, the site wont work for them.But if you have flash6 player it works 100% fine.
Is this a bug with flash mx/flash 5 or is there a work around.

Can any one shed some light on this subject?
Thanks.

My Movie Doesnt Work
I have two MC ("blue" , "red" amd "circ")

1st frame: blue is on the sage and there is a button to go to the next frame.

2nd frame: red is on the stage. An action tells it to change its position to blue's position. Also a PLAY action

--up to here everything is ok--

3rd frame: red is still on the stage and circ too. The following action is on the frame

Code:
tellTarget (_root.red) {
if (_root.red._x<_root.circ._x-5) {
_root.red._x += 3;
} else if (_root.red._x>_root.circ._x+5) {
_root.red._x -= 3;
}
if (_root.red._y>_root.circ._y+5) {
_root.red._y -= 3;
} else if (_root.red._y<_root.circ._y-5) {
_root.red._y += 3;
}
}


4th frame: red and circ are still on the stage, an action goes back to 3rd frame

NOTES
-----
when going back to frame 3, the telltarget action should be read again so that red's position keeps changing until it reaches circ position.
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD HELP ME!

Getting UI On Embedded Movie To Work
I'm trying to make a photo website for myself. I have a main movie that launches a picture-viewer movie. Both movies work by themselves, but when I use the code below to load the picture viewer SWF into the main movie, the controls don't work.

The non-working version is at:
http://www.graysonschaffer.com/Grays...affer_new.html
(click "portfolio" then "portraits")

The working picture viewer is at:
http://www.graysonschaffer.com/1.html

I think this may have something to do with only the main timeline getting loaded, but I have no idea how to fix it.


_root.container1.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("/"+_global.movieToPlay+".swf","container");
container._x = -485 ;
container._y = -345 ;

A Movie That Will Only Work One Day A Year
The Premise:
I'm trying to make an april fools day trick for my friends in which a flash movie will stay on the first frame unless it is actually April 1st. That way I can put it on their computers weeks in advance and it wont show up until April first, and then will go away as soon as it is April 2nd.

The Problem:
I figured out how to do it, but only if everything is inside a movie clip. The problem is that the buttons which show up on April 1st are inside the movie clip, and won't respond to the mouse.

My Question:
Is there any way for the action scripting to get the date and tell the main movie (not just a movie clip) to go to a certain frame, or is there any way to make a button work even if it's inside another movie clip?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[CS3] Embed Movie Does Not Work
Hi all,

I have created a small flash file and while trying to add to a site, the search feature does not work. The link to the movie is http://www.mediafire.com/?mivxbmjmpwe

I have tried Publishing with Flash 6 through 9 without any use.

While CS3 is open and I test the scene, the search opens a new window and things work fine. When I open the Published SWF through explorer it asks for a prompt to change the setting but nothing actually happens..

While embeded in HTML no popups!! Please help me on this.

I use the following code to embed


Code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0" id="webserver1" width="984" height="43"><param name="movie" value="menu2.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><embed src="menu2.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="984" height="43" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object>

[CS3] Can't Get Button Within Movie To Work
Hi all,

I'm having a little bit of trouble making a button located inside of an instance of a movie clip work. I'm trying to use actionscript in the main timeline to get the button to work.

Here's what I have:

A movie clip with an instance name of "movie_mc"
Inside of the movie clip, I have a button with an instance name of "button_btn"
On the actions layer of the main timeline, I have the following code:


this.movie_mc.button_btn.onRelease = function(){
getUrl("www.website.com")
}


When I click on the button, nothing happens. I used the targeting feature in CS3, so I'm certainly specifying the instance of the button. I'm not sure whats wrong.

Any help that you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Buttons Still Work With Movie On Top Of It...
Ok what I am trying to achieve is, I have 2 buttons, one opens a video player window and the other opens a window with PDFs in it. The thing is, I know how to make this window and make it open and stuff, but when it loads up, the buttons, which are underneath it, are still able to function with the loaded movie on top. Is there a way to disable the buttons, so that when a movie loads on top of it, they dont still work through the movie til I close the window?

Can't Get External Movie To Work
I have a Drag’n Drop movie but when I load it as an external movie it wont work. I understand this is because of _root problem referring to main time line ,what I can’t get right is how to write the code using _parent instead of _root. I've tried lots of times but I am obviously not putting _parent in right place in the script.
Here is code on Drag and Drop mc.
onClipEvent (load) {
origX=this._x;
origY=this._y;
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
this.startDrag();
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
this.stopDrag();
if(_parent.dropZone2.hitTest(this._x,this._y,true) ){
this._x =_parent.dropZone2._x;
this._y =_parent.dropZone2._y;
}else{
this._x =origX;
this._y =origY;
}
}
}
Any help would be welcome

How Do I Get A Flash Movie To Work In IE7

Putting A Swf To Work In A Movie
Hi,

I've a little problem... I have a main Movie where I want to load a second one, a swf. There's no problem in doing that - I've created an empty movie clip, gave it an instance name, add it to a new layer in the timeline and placed the _root.Name_of_instance.loadMovie("movie.swf") expression to load it. In fact it loads.

Just one problem: if I integrate the swf in a php page, for example, it runs and works; if I place it inside the Main Movie, it doesn't...

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Kepler

Movie Loaded On Level1 No Work
OK. I have a movie that acts as a visual base in _level0, which calls another .swf on _level1 from its first frame. The second movie appears to load fine, but it doesn't find the _droptarget I've set inside it. Mind you, the swf that's loaded into _level1 works F-I-N-E on its own. This must be a path problem, right?!@

Here's my code (I think lines 3, 4, and 5 of the On release are the important ones):


on (press) {
startDrag (getProperty(_x, _y));
this.swapDepths(_root.currentTop);
++_root.currentTop;
//_level0.feedback = "yellow";
//trace (_level0.feedback);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (_droptarget eq _level1.yellowbay) {
tellTarget (_level1.yellowbay) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
tellTarget ("/text") {
gotoAndStop (65);
}
tellTarget ("/drop") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
tellTarget ("/response") {
gotoAndPlay (63);
}
_root.score = _root.score + 1;
gotoAndStop (2);
} else {
setProperty ("", _x, OrgX);
setProperty ("", _y, OrgY);
tellTarget ("/response") {
gotoAndPlay (33);
}
tellTarget ("/honk") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
}

Note: when I look at my objects in the output window, the path to the yellowbay is Target="_level1.yellowbay". Arrgh.

Thanks,

Rick

Cant Get 'Movie Loaded' Routine To Work. Please Help.
Im working on a movie that loads a second movie that contains a series of images. The first movie then processes, resizes and displays the images on the second. Within this first movie there is a simple routine that checks the bytes loaded, etc. and is supposed to loop until the image movie is done loading.

It works fine offline but when I first load the movie online it shows that the image movie (i.e. its bytes) have been loaded but it wont display. Apparently, it continues the script before it's finished loading. If I refresh, the images are cached and it works fine.

Any help would be appreciated. If someone is willing to take the time, I could send them what I have if my description here isn't enough.

Also, I know I could easily set up a pre-loader at the beginning of each image movie that talks to the first but id like to avoid it if i can since I plan on having several image movies.

Please help,

Work Path Of Movie. Help Needed
I am trying to create a cd that allows you to choose from a number of pdf's. I can launch the pdf's, but I need a way to find out the work path of the movie so that I can refer to that value, otherwise when you burn it to cd it can't find the files anymore... can anyone help??

Why Doesn't This Movie Clip Work Right?
OK, check it out. I have an item in my library called gauge which is simply a graphic meant to represent a variable. When I have the variable declared locally, i.e. in the movie clip itself, it works great. But for some reason I can't get it to function with a global variable from the main movie.

Please let me know what I am missing.

If my description is puzzling or you think you can help but my pathetic rambling is incoherent you can email me at: destinova@alternity.net

Button No Work In Movie Clip?
I need help!!!!!

I am a beginner at Flash and I have a problem with some buttons in one of my movie clips.

I created a movie clip with 4 drop down menus. They all work fine. Now on each of the buttons under each of the drop down menus I added the actionscript "gotoandplay (scene) when released.

I chose the scene I wanted the play head to go to on each of the button. Then, I incerted the movie clip into the Main movie and, in the test mode, when I click upon the buttons it would not go to the scene which I pointed to.

I don't think I did anything wrong in the ActionScript. Can anyone help me?

Thank You!

Preloader Won't Work In Nested Movie
Help! I've got one movie which has its own preloader which works fine. In this movie, theres an event which calls in another movie clip which is displayed on the main stage using a movie clip instance.

The problem i have, is that the second movie which is being called in has its own preloader, which when tested in Flash works fine. But online its a different story.

The preloader of the second nested movie doesn't display and the secon movie just seems to loop round even though i have a stop event in it....

Can anyone help? I feel like i'm going round in circles here....Do preloaders even work when nested? If not, is there a work around?

Cheers

Its for a login object that appears on every page of my site, so it needs to know the page its on so when a user log ins it can reload the page. But if i attach it via the querystring it will have to be reloaded on everypage.

Thanks in Advance.

Loaded Movie Into MC & Now Actions Don't Work
Ok this is my problem:

I have two movies A & B, both are realy entire movies with button actions, preloaders, and everything.
Now I press a button in movie A which loads movie B into a invisible MC (the invisible MC is one of those pseudo pop-up window designed in flash).
So movie B loads perfectly into the MC, everything is fine. But now none of the actions in movie B work, e.g. button anctions, preloaders, ect.
What am I doing wrong?

Very perplexed,

Plz Help Problems With Getting Embedded Movie To Work
O.K. well,

I embedded this quicktime movie clip into my flash movie, with the idea that the original flash movie (with the movie interface on it) would control the quicktime movie. Well, I have all of the buttons done and I got the movie to load within the interface and I put a stop action to the 1st frame of the quicktime movie, BUT I can't get the play button or the stop button to work. Nothing happens, I get the little hand indicating that it is a button, but then I click and NOTHING. I'm guessing that I have to put some if/else statements in there, but this is my first try at actionscript and the books that I bought aren't helping me at all. I have tried going to the actionscript reference and everywhere on the net and can't find a thing. Have been working on this for days. Can anyone please help me!!!!
