Flash :: MovieClipLoader Disabled Online?

MovieClipLoader Disabled When File Plays Online?
hi everyone. Thanks to several forum members suggestions, i now have a parent flash file that uses the MovieClipLoader class to load external swfs as they are needed. Everything works smashingly when played locally, including when i fire up the parent flash html file. However, when I loaded the files onto a server and go the site online, the file no longer works correctly.

i have it loaded here:

http://www.hanlonarchitects.com/hanlona ... /home.html

I think what is going on is that the MovieClipLoader is not being allowed to fire due to some security settings somewhere.

The first error in playback occurs after the text that intially loads has faded and a preloader appears. Locally, the preloader functions correctly, and an image is loaded in the space that the crosshairs mark (this is all within the parent swf).

A second error occurs after the first thumbnail in the scrolling panel is released. A swf file that contains the information for that project loads, but images inside it that are also activated using the MovieClipLoader class will not load (this all occurs within a child swf).

In both these cases it seems that the browser has a problem using MovieClipLoader within another loaded movie. Again, this kind of leads me to believe that it is a security issue, but i'm definitely not 100% on that...

thanks for taking a look!

LoadMovie And MovieClipLoader Work Always Locally, But Only 80% Online
I have tried both loadMovie and MovieClipLoader to get swf's to load into other swf's. It works perfect locally, but online, it only works about 80% of the time, also the swf's that won't load changes each time. When I look at the temp internet files, the swf that didn't load is there, but it is corrupt and is only 1K when it should be 20K.

Here is the code that I'm using if it's MovieClipLoader
var myMCL = new MovieClipLoader();
function loadNew(movie, frame){
myMCL.unloadClip(frame);
myMCL.loadClip(movie, frame);
}

Here is the code that I'm using if it's loadMovieFrame

this.attachMovie("loadMovieFrame",1);
function loadNew(movie, frame){
unloadMovie(frame);
loadMovie(movie, frame);
}

This is an example of what is being passed to the function loadNew

loadNew("logout.swf", "loadMovieFrame");

Any Ideas?

Keeping A Disabled Button Disabled After Navigating Away From The Frame
Okay, so... I'm making a VERY basic Jeopardy game, and I need buttons to be disabled after being clicked on once.

Oh, and I'm working in CS3, but I'm using AS 1&2 because that's what I learned... I have no idea how to use AS 3...

example:
frame 1 has btn11 in it. btn11 when clicked takes the person to frame 2. when done with frame 2, they click on return.

the return button (btnReturn1) has the following AS

on (release) {
gotoAndStop ("Round1",1)
btn11.enabled=false;
}

the problem is that it works at first - the button disables when I get back to frame 1, but the next time I click a different button then return to frame 1, the first button I disabled isn't disabled anymore.

can you help me fix my actionscript so that my disabled buttons stay that way no matter how many times I come and go from the frame? or if you have a better way to do it, that'd be great. basically, it's like the jeopardy screen, and after "songs" for 200 is clicked, I don't want it to be clickable again at all.

Help For Disabled
Hi,

Can I do this with Flash? Would there be anyone out there willing to consult, for fee ($) on this project, that truly knows ActionScript?

I develop softare for disabled kids.

The program I am trying to 'port' over to PPC (PocketPC), Windows Mobile 2003, is a program that I have used for Autistic kids for almost 20 years. I wrote it in Director and have updated it to Director 7 over the years. It is called Point To Pictures.

Autistic kids usually don't speak. But they can be taught to point to pictures to indicate desires, needs, etc. In other words, a computerized device can be used to augment their communication (or in this case, their *lack* of communication). The field is called Augmentative Communication (it's a sub-field of my own, which is named Assistive Technology). I am quite well known in my field (just go to Google and type my name in, RJ Cooper, and you'll get, literally, tens of thousands of hits, most to me

In an Aug. Comm. program, we usually put up a screen with a number of pictures indicating categories (food, school, entertainment, etc). These pictures would be JPEGs and the teacher/parent would be able to choose what pics, from a library I provide, go where and how many.

Once a pic is touched (Food), a Wave file would be played ("Food", that picture is shown full screen with a second Wave played ("I'd like something to eat, please"), and then the screen would change to the group of pictures associated with that category (ex: if they touch food, then 8 foods appear). When they touch their desired food, a wave is played ("eggs"), that pic is displayed full size, and a second wave is played ("I'd like some eggs, please.") On this second (or third) screen, one of the buttons can jump back a screen.

There also needs to be a setup program so that a teacher/parent can choose the pics, record the sounds, for the user to interact with.

Can I do this with Flash? Would there be anyone out there willing to consult, for fee ($) on this project, that truly knows ActionScript?

Thanks!

Flash Disabled
Hi all,

I wonder if there's anyone who can help with this problem. I want to use a flash component for a site I'm building. The problem is, if a browser's security is instructed to disable flash, all the end user sees is a blank box. Is there a way I can get Flash to check to see if flash is disabled (ie: installed but not enabled) and if so to present a GIF instead? Or would I need to do this within HTML.

Can anyone help??? Desperate!

Cheers chaps.

Buttons Disabled By AS ?
I made a button, and in the "over" frame is an animation mc.
I tested this button with no AS assigned to it, and there is no problem at all, when I go over the button, the button plays.

Now I assigned a bunch AS code to the button, and suddenly, the button dont work anymore, the cursor transformes in a pointing finger, and on release it does what the AS wants it to do, but the 2nd frame doesnt show when I go over the button.

next is the AS I used on that button.

Code:
on (release) {
function leesXML(geladen) {
if (geladen) {
naam = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
country = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
leeftijd = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
gender = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue;
email = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue;
homepage = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[5].firstChild.nodeValue;
xmlUrl = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[6].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.ThisNaam.text = naam+"'s personal information";
_root.adres.text = xmlUrl;
_root.friends.text = naam+newline+country+newline+leeftijd+newline+gender+newline+email+newline+homepage;
_root.friendsknop.label = naam+"'s friends";
}
}
onzeGegevens = new XML();
onzeGegevens.ignoreWhite = true;
onzeGegevens.onLoad = leesXML;
onzeGegevens.load(_root.xmlUrl);
}
Can anyone tell me whats wrong, the AS works fine, but its just that the button dont show its "over" frame....
Thx for at least reading my problem :-)

Masks Disabled Upon Publishing
Hi - Has anyone ever seen this?... a mask (created by flash MX from a paste inside imported from freehand) simply disables itself upon publishing. In the attached example, the white street lines on this map are pasted inside the map shape, and display perfectly in the authoring environment. But as soon as it's published, the white lines in the resultant .swf end up behing the whole shebang! Anyone know what gives here?

Unzip these files to a folder, open beachwood.fla, export it and you'll see what I mean. Thanks for taking the time to look at this!

Can Buttons Be Disabled W/ A Script?
Problem...

I have a web site that has a navagation bar as the main .swf. I have all the pages load on top of this .swf as layer 50. Works out great so far.

My problem is....
I have another page / swf, loading on top of layer 50 this .swf is on layer 51. I want to do this because I want to use previous graphics on the layer 50. The down side so far is that the mouse events on layer 50 are still enabled "through" layer 51.
Any ideas to overcome this problem.

THANKYOU VERY MUCH!

Disabled The Button, But How To Enable It ?
Hello, I hope this is the last of the "button questions" i've been posting here the last week.
I have disabled a button on the timeline :

Code:
clpA.btnA.enabled=false;

the button rests in a clip named clpA and the button is named btnA
the button is disabled if the user clicks on it. but how do i restore ability on the button ? i have tried all i know (not much, admittedly), to no avail.
i have tried

Code:
_root.clpA.btnA.enabled=true;

on the appropriate frame but no use.
If you take a look at the .fla [in MX] please see the layer "about actions" in which i have coded the above.
Like i say, i can disable the little swine, but i cant seem to bring him back to life.

many thanks

Keeping Buttons Disabled
Hi,

I am currently working on a flash game in which users have to find hidden objects (buttons) in a house to click to gain points. There are four different "rooms" you can explore.

Once a button is clicked, it becomes disabled so that it cannot be clicked again to gain points and cheat.

But when the users move elsewhere in the scene to other "rooms" (held in different frames), and then return to a "room" in which a button was just disabled, it is active again. I have tried scripting it in numerous ways and it just won't work.

Is there anyway i can premanently disable a button? I hope this made sense.

Cheers.

[F8] Mc Button Disabled In Down State

How To Enable A Button You've Disabled?
Hi,
I'm using Flash MX v6 but I'm not very experienced...

I've '.enabled=false' a button[1] whilst a movie is running.
When I close the movie(via another button[2]) I want button[1] to work again.
I've tried telling button[2] to '.enabled=true' button[1]
I've also tried '.enabled=false' but neither work.

Help!
What can I do?
Is there a different command I can use?
Or a clever piece of script?

All suggestions welcome,
Cheers,

[F8] Depth Swap Becoming Disabled, But Why?
Hey everyone. Welcome to my first post!

Here's what I'm trying to do:
• change the opacity of a fixed shape ("mask") to be 0% while dragging another object.
• Bring draggable objects to the front with depthSwap when clicked on.

It seems that I can get one or the other to work, but not both at the same time. Here is the code I'm using on my button. As is, depthSwap is not working.

Quote:

on (press) {
_root.depthSwap(this._name);
startDrag(b6);
}
on (press) {
setProperty("mask", _alpha, "0");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
setProperty("mask", _alpha, "100");
}

the code at root level is this:

Quote:

function depthSwap (x) {
for (i=0; i<cA.length; i++) {
if (cA[i] == x) {
xPos = i;
}
}
i = xPos;
for (i=xPos; i>0; i--) {
_root[x].swapDepths(_root[cA[i]]);
cA[i] = cA[i-1];
}
_root[x].swapDepths(_root[cA[0]]);
cA[0] = x;
}
cA = new Array();
for (i=0; i<7; i++) {
cA[i] = "c"+i;
}

Any suggestions at a glance to fix this up? Do I need to provide more info?

I'm pretty novice at this in the grand scheme. Help a sister out. Thanks a bunch!

Imbedded Links Being Disabled - Help

I've put some link buttons in my games but it seems they are either being disabled by the gaming sites webmasters or I'm doing something wrong.

I need to know if I"m doing something wrong with my links and if I am, how to fix it. Or I need to know if they are disabling my links how I can stop it?

JsessionID When Cookies Disabled?
Hello,
I have a situation where the SWF is at times loaded in a client page where the cookies are disabled, and prompting the client to "turn on cookies" is not an option. From my research, the AMF is supposed to automatically detect the client has no cookies, and append the jsessionid internally with every call.

This is not happening! On a cookies disabled machine, our SWF to server calls just hang.

Is there a CF server setting that needs to be set to make this URL passing of JSESSIONID in AMF possible? CF version 7 is the server.

Have done many hours of research all over the place, and not finding any clear answers. I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you!
