Text Buttons Made From Actionscript
Is it possible to make text buttons from actionscript that call for other URLs to populate the window or go to some other place within the movie?

I would realy like the menu of text buttons to be dynamic but what would I need to make this happen. All I have to work with is Fash MX. I do not want the menu to be a pull down but just a listing. Is there some kind of component that I can use and how would you go about using that component.

thank you

Need Small Actionscript Flash Made....
I have a site that has flash on it, that is being hotlinked to.

I have some ideas of some things to do about this, but I personally do not have anything to make flash with. I have read up on actionscript and am 99% sure what I want to do can be done. How exactly to impliment it yet I don't yet know. I also looked at the price of flash and am not sure it is worth buying it just to do this. I am not completly sure just how much flash can tell about the env. it is run from. I do know it can be done with adding a php script server side for the flash to call. I basically want to add some code to detect it is being hotlinked, and if so redirect the browser back 'home', else replace itself with the 'real' flash file.

Can anyone help me get a flash created like this?

SWF Video File Made With AVS
I have a videofile given to me from the client as a SWF, they have used AVS software to convert.
I load the SWF file in using MovieClipLoader, it plays ok, however, I can't seem to control it. I need to know when the clip is finished, and for it to stop looping. I also want to be able to stop it when the video is clicked.
Has anyone had experience of this type of Video file? I would appreciate any response,
Thanks,

Made A Sliding Puzzle In Flash... Tried To Use ActionScript To Align It...
Here's the script I used:

[font color = #0068D0]

function initGame () {
// set the horizontal and vertical distance
// between tiles
tileDist = 54;

// set all tiles in exactly the right spot
for (x=1;x<=4;x++) {
for (y=0;y<=3;y++) {
tile = x+y*4;
_root["tile"+tile]._x = x*tileDist;
_root["tile"+tile]._y = y*tileDist+tileDist;
}
}

// make 100 random but valid moves
for(tilenum=0;tilenum<100;tilenum++) {
do {
// pick a random tile
tile = "tile"+(random(15)+1);
// see if there is an empty space near it
emptySpace = findEmpty(tile);
// keep looping until a tile is found that
// has an empty space near it
} while ( emptySpace == "none" );

// move this tile to the empty space
moveTile(tile,findEmpty(tile));
}
}

// given a tile, see if the empty space is near it
function findEmpty (tile) {
// get location of tile
tilex = _root[tile]._x;
tiley = _root[tile]._y;

// see if there is a tile to the left
if (tilex > tileDist) {
if (!tileThere(tilex-tileDist, tiley)) {
return("left");
}
}

// see if there is a tile to the right
if (tilex < tileDist*4) {
if (!tileThere(tilex+tileDist, tiley)) {
return("right");
}
}

// see if there is a tile above
if (tiley > tileDist) {
if (!tileThere(tilex, tiley-tileDist)) {
return("above");
}
}

// see if there is a tile below
if (tiley < tileDist*4) {
if (!tileThere(tilex, tiley+tileDist)) {
return("below");
}
}

// tiles are in all directions
return("none");
}

// check to see if there is a tile at a certain location
function tileThere (thisx, thisy) {
// loop through tiles
for (i=1;i<=15;i++) {
// see if x matches
if (_root["tile"+i]._x == thisx) {
// se if y matches
if (_root["tile"+i]._y == thisy) {
return true;
}
}
}

// no tile there
return false;
}

// move a tile in a certain direction
function moveTile (tile, direction) {
if (direction == "above") {
_root[tile]._y -= tileDist;

}
}

// utility function to see which tile the

function tileUnderMouse () {
for (i=1; i<=15; i++) {
if (_root["Tile"+i].hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse)) {
return (i);
}
}
}

initGame();
stop();

Can You See The File Was Made By FlashMX On The Pocket PC?
I download the Flash Player 6 for Pocket PC from
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...etpc/2002.html

and I used a example that download from
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...cketpc/devkit/
These files are ppc_6 color picker.html and ppc_6 color picker.swf

In the beginning, I put the .html and .swf into the Pocket PC and used the Pocket IE run the .html file. But actually,I couldn't see anything on the Pocket PC. Did I make the mistake for step?

If you did some examples(the file was made by Flash MX) on the Pocket PC that is success,please tell me thanks!

Resize Flash File That Is Already Made.
I created a Flash file that is a pretty big project for a car dealership.

Whan I created it, I made the stage 1024x768. Now I realize that I should have made it smaller at maybe 800x600. Is there any way that I can resize my whole project which is already finished.

[Flash MX Pro 2004] I Made A Spiffy Menu, But The ActionScript Won't Work.
I made a menu in Flash MX using this tutorial and I've got all the steps done. One thing wrong with this tutorial is that it doesn't tell me how to link the buttons to another frame when I click them. I've tried the following code:

code: on (press) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

But that doesn't work. The button is within a movie clip, so I'm guessing the Frame 2 that it is going to is the Frame 2 in the movie clip, not the one in the main Flash file. How would I code it so that it doesn't go to the Frame 2 in the movie clip, but the Frame 2 in the main Flash file?

If anyone would like to see the file where I made the menu, just ask. If you want to see the menu that I made, you can go here (the menu I am talking about is under "About").

I appreciate any help that is given.

Problem Editing Pre-made Flash File
I'll be the first person to admit that I am a complete retard when it comes to using flash related anything. Which is why I'm here.

I am unsure whether or not my problem is related to ignorance of the program or an error not on my part, so maybe someone out there can tell me.

A friend of mine purchased a flash layout (http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/5910.html) for her new website and wanted me to change the main logo and the menu buttons to fit her own. However when I open the file's by either right clicking>open with or by opening Flash itself and then importing, it completely loses the glint going across her blades and the background music shown in the link above.

I've done everything I can think of, but nothing seems to be preventing it from losing the music/graphic and having odd looping issues immediately upon just opening up the file.

I used the reccomended version of flash as stated on the website.

My friend really want's her layout up and running in flash. What am I doing wrong?

I appreciate any help that can be given!

Edits Made To .swf File Causes Text To Replay Nonstop
Hi everyone,

To edit the text contained in a .swf file, I used the ******* SWF Decomplier to convert it to an .fla and then I re-published it with Flash MX 2004. Since, I have had problems with the text constantly loading and re-loading in the test movie about every 5 seconds.

I made sure that the play once option was selected and even tried a single frame, but it made no difference. Because I have the free version of the Decompiler and not the one for purchase, I am unnable to access its actionscript to fix the problem.

I am new to Flash in general, so I am hoping that someone else might see something I might have overlooked, or simply didn't know about. Please assist...

Thank you!

Warning: An ActionScript 1.0/2.0 SWF File Has Loaded An ActionScript 3.0 SWF;
Hi all,

I'm trying to clone an swf (produced in CS3) that has been loaded into my app (built using Actionscript/mxmlc) but keep getting the following message appear in my logs:

Code:
Warning: An ActionScript 1.0/2.0 SWF file has loaded an ActionScript 3.0 SWF; code in the ActionScript 3.0 SWF will not run.
I know the CS3 swf has been produced using Actionscript 3 as it's settings and published for FP9. It does nothing more than a motion tween of a graphic.

Here is a really simple example of how to emulate the problem:

ActionScript Code:
package{

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

[SWF(backgroundColor=0x000000)]

public class Test extends Sprite{

private var _mc:MovieClip;

public function Test():void{

var mc:String = "rain.swf";
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();

ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadedSWF);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(mc));
}

private function loadedSWF(e:Event):void{

var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.target.content);

this._mc = MovieClip(new (mc.constructor)());
this.addChild(this._mc);
}

}
}

I'm using the following version of mxmlc: Version 3.0.0 build 1844

I've also tried a slightly more convoluted way:

ActionScript Code:
package{

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

[SWF(backgroundColor=0x000000)]

public class Test extends Sprite{

private var _mc:MovieClip;

public function Test():void{

var mc:String = "rain.swf";
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();

ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadedSWF);
ldr.load(new URLRequest(mc));
}

private function loadedSWF(e:Event):void{

var c:Class = Class(e.target.applicationDomain.getDefinition(getQualifiedClassName(e.target.content)));
this._mc = new c();

this.addChild(this._mc);
}

}
}

I would like to know what's causing the warning message, am I doing something wrong?

Big MC Made Up Of Small MCs Not Reflecting Change Made To Small MC
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a large movie clip (screen size) that is made up of 30 small movie clips called 'element1'. I was hoping to load a small (screen size) external movie clip into this 'element1' movie clip and knock out the existing content. This it does, but because the large movie clip was made up of 30 movie clips I would have expected after the content of 'element1' was replaced with the external SWF file that the whole of the large movie clip (made up of the 30 small clips) would have changed to reflect the change in swapping over the targeted 'element1' movie clip. All that is happening is that only the targeted 'element1' is showing the swap. Do you have to refresh the screen or something?
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

HELP: How To Convert Flash To .gif File Or .jpg File By Actionscript?
HI, I have got a problem of this:

My project is a draw board for user to draw, and I want the user can save his drawing by clicking a button.

So is it possible to convert the flash's movie clip(which I can specific) to .gif format or .jpg ,or .bmp format by actionscript..
As I have read all of the function of the actionscript, but still can't find the solution., the only look possible on is only the printAsBitmap(which_movieclip, "method"), but this function will call the printer to print the movieclip. It is possible to convert the movieclip to .gif file.

hope can understand my poor english...@@
THANKS.

ActionScript To Get File Name
Is there a way to have actionScript 'read' the name of the swf it is in? I have a preloader that loads a second swf. I want to reuse this many times loading different files.

For example, I want to name the preloader playerA.swf and have actionscript that loads a file called playerA1.swf. The actionscript would append a '1' to its own name and look for that file.

Is this possible?

ActionScript In A Text File
I have heard that ActionScript can be placed inside of a text file instead of being put into the Flash file itself. What are the benefits of this and how does it work? Would this work for object and frame actions as well? I'm not too clued up on this so where would you suggest I go to get more information about this?

I would appreciate your feedback

Thank you in advance for any help with this matter.

Actionscript To Close An .SWF File.
Is it possible to apply actionscript to a button that when pressed will close an .SWF file?

(example as to why one may want to use this action: Someone is watching a movie you’ve made to open and play in fullscreen mode. They may be unaware of the need to press the ESC key to reduce the window at the end of the movie. The button would give them an obvious and easy escape route.

If this can be produced, and you’re up for it, would you please run me through the complete procedure (bearing in mind I’m a Flash novice) of what the script is and how/where to apply it to perform this action?

Thanks in advance.

Can Actionscript Checks For .txt File?
Dear Gurus and members,

I am a newbie in ActionScript. I developed an e-learning website using mostly Flash MX 2004 and ActionScript 1.0. I plan to create a record/playback plugin using media control interface (MCI). The plugin is a one time installation. During the installation, the installer will store a txt file in the user's computer. In that way, whenever user clicks on the record/playback button, it will check the user's computer for the file. If it exists, it will display the record/playback pop up window. Otherwise, it will request the user to download the plugin before proceeding.

Is there any sample codes or can someone share with me the sample codes in checking for the txt file, prompting message if value does not exist?

I was wondering whether is it possible if I load in the text file via the LoadVars() object(ActionScript), and if the file fails to load I can initiate the appropriate actions. That would go a little something like this...

myLV = new LoadVars();
myLV.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
//If txt file gets loaded, calls plugin pop up window
//Media Control Interface plugin is called--'one.exe'
} else {
//If file fails to load, it displays download pop up window,
//requesting to download plugin.
//The download plugin is 'SoundRecorder.exe'
}
myLV.load("MyTextFile.txt");
}

I am not sure if this might work. Hopefully someone out there can give me some guidance and pointers. I am really at total lost and the deadline is due soon. Looking forward to some reply soon and thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Janice

Can Actionscript Run Vbscript File?
Dear gurus and members,
I am very new in flash and scripting. I wonder whether can actionscript run vbscript file? I have a flash button that is supposed to call a vbs file when user clicks on it on the browser. The button does not pass any value to the vbs file, just run the vbs. The vbs will execute an exe file. Is there any ways to work this out? Are there any restrictions for doing this, ie: placing the files under the same path/directory? I would be very appreciated if someone could share the expertise and knowledge in this matter. Any suggestions or sample codes are highly appreciated. Looking forward to some reply soon.

Thanks in advance,
Janice

Size Of Actionscript File
Recently, I am producing a flash application (in .exe)
It is a quiz with about 3000 questions.

When compile, the flash just ignore the last few lines of the .as files.

What should be the problem and what can I do for that??

Can't Open An Actionscript File.
okay I have this flash file that I didn't make, that loads other flash files into everytime you hit the "next" button. There isn't really any actionscript code in the file except a style code. there is however an actionscript file in my folder but I can't open it because it is an .exe file, i'm on a mac. but when I try to open it on a pc, all I get is jibberish. can anyone tell me how i can open this file? I don't know what's going on, but it's not loading one of the flash files it's supposed to load in. And the file it's not loading in is a new file that is being added. but i can't open the actionscript to fix it. Can anyone help me at all??

Can Actionscript Read The .swf File Name?
Hi guys!

I have created this image gallery for a friend of mine. It reads the number of jpegs and the folders where thumbnails and enlarged images are stored from a txt file. The txt is actually named "number.txt":

Code:
loadInfo = new LoadVars();
loadInfo.load("number.txt");
loadInfo.onData = function(dat){
ArrayCoordinate = dat.split("
");

// WILL RETURN:
//ArrayCoordinate[0]=line 1 text; ----> number of jpegs
//ArrayCoordinate[1]=line 2 text; ----> folder for thumbnails
//ArrayCoordinate[2]=line 3 text; ----> folder for enlarged images
//ArrayCoordinate[3]=line 4 text; ----> row only for comment
//ArrayCoordinate[4]=line 5 text; ----> row only for comment
Everything works fine but my friend asked me if it's possible to make actionscript read the name of the .swf file and search for the parameters in a file with the same name (and extension .txt).

So lets say the file is named "nameofthefile.swf", the script should read the swf file name and "understand" that the parameters are stored in "nameofthefile.txt".

See attachment if you feel confused by my bad english!

Anyone has an idea if this is possible and eventually how?

Thank you in advance!!
