External Swf Launches In New Browserwindow ?
I use the following script to load some external swf into my movie. The problem is that they open in a new browserwindow, and not inside my movie. I want them to be placed in an empty moviclip with the instancename "imageholder".

The script:

on (release) {
for (i=0; i<hand.length; i++) {
loadMovieNum(hand1[i]+".swf", "imageholder"+i);
}
}

If I use "loadmovie" instead I can't get it to work at all.
Does anybody know what's wrong ??

Flash-javascript-browserwindow Thing...
Hi,
I want to define a certain browser window as target for the server reply after a loadVars.send() operation.
The intended browser window is opened before as popup by using a javascript function (see below).
Popping up that window and closing that same window from within flash both works fine (so I know it exists and I can address it by its name), but when I try to specify this window as target in the loadVars.send command it is ignored and a new browser window is opened to display the server reply.
I also tried "javascript:replyWindow" and "javascript:replyWindow();", but to no avail...!
What´s the correct syntax or command to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Toby.

Best Way To Make Swf Occupy All Space In Browserwindow
I've seen flash websites that occupy all the space in a browser window, without scaling the swf. How exactly is that done? I can most likely figure out the css/xhtml to make it appear full screen in my browser, but I don't know how to script this in flash.

How To Always Center Flash Movie In Browserwindow?
Hey,

First of all i wanna say this site has been a great help so far on some technical issues in flash MX. Thx!
Still i can't seem to find the answer to this little problem: I've made a website in flash MX, so i've used the publish option in flash but when i open the .html doc in my browser my flash movie is aligned on the left side of my browserwindow, it's not centered. I made my movie on 1024x768 pixels, there's no background, only white. My screen resolution is 1280x1024 pixels. So my question is; if there's a way to always keep my movie centered when its viewed on any type of screen or resolution. I know its something to do with the html code but i'm not so familiar with html. Anybody can help me with this. I would be very grateful.

Greetings

Maximized Window How Is It Really Done ?
Yes hi this is something i think allot off people have asked in the past and im in away new to flash. I need to create the effect that opens your web site on the users command to full screen so it hides your task bar and also browser menu but im not sure on how to create this. I have tested the

on (release) {
fscommand ("fullscreen", "true");
}

And cant seem to make this work. Am i doing something wrong here ?? or is this the right code but im missing something else ??
Im obviously adding that code to a button and uploading the swf to my server and all is well apart from the full screen mode.
I need ay help to be clear and as simple as possible or even if there is a tutorial i could look at that would be even better for me.
Thanks.

Maximized Study
The problem was in last year's Trinity programming contest problems, and I've been trying for a few hours to get it to work just right. I'm very close, but I know of one bug (which I'll let you try and find).

Here's the Java source:

Code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Problem2 {
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner (new FileReader("problem2.txt"));

int numberOfCases = scanner.nextInt();

for (int i=0; i<numberOfCases; i++) {
scanner.nextLine();

int bagCapacity = scanner.nextInt();
int bagFull=0;

int numBooks = scanner.nextInt();

ArrayList<MyBook> books = new ArrayList<MyBook>(numBooks);

for (int j=0; j<numBooks; j++) {
books.add(new MyBook(scanner.next(), scanner.nextInt(), scanner.nextInt()));
}

Collections.sort(books);

ListIterator<MyBook> iterator = books.listIterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
MyBook book = iterator.next();
if (book.weight+bagFull <= bagCapacity) {
bagFull+=book.weight;
} else {
iterator.remove();
}
}

System.out.println(MyBook.totalGradeValue(books));
}
}
}

class MyBook implements Comparable {
String name;
int weight;
int gradeValue;
double ratio;

public MyBook (String name, int weight, int gradeValue) {
this.name= name;
this.weight= weight;
this.gradeValue= gradeValue;

this.ratio = (double) gradeValue/weight;
}

public int compareTo (Object book) {
return ((int)((MyBook)book).ratio-(int)this.ratio);
}

public String toString () {
return this.name + " " + weight + " " +gradeValue;
}

public static int totalGradeValue (ArrayList<MyBook> books) {
int total = 0;
for (int i=0; i<books.size(); i++) {
total += (books.get(i)).gradeValue;
}

return total;
}
}
And here's the sample file loaded in (you need to save this as problem2.txt to make the above file read it).

Code:
2
10 3
History 7 30
Math 4 40
English 6 30
10 2
CliffNotes 5 99
OfficialText 8 1
It'll find the most it can bring home. The first line represents the number of cases following, and the first for each case represents the number of pounds available in your backpack, and the number of books to follow. Each book has its name, weight, and point value it's help your score.

It'll output:

Code:
70
99
For the 70 points you can get in the first set, and the 99 (with Cliffnotes) you can potentially get in the second set.

You have to get the most possible.

Try and find my bug, and see if you can solve it.

Launch Window Maximized?
ok, I have a button in my flash movie that launches a new window... & I can't for the life of me find a way to ensure that the window that is launched is maximized (not fullscreen, just your usual maximized window) so users don't have to maximize the window themselves...

is there any way to do this? (I'm using the "on (release) {getURL ("http://www.insertsitenamehere.com", "_blank");)" script in the button, if it helps any)...

When Maximized And Movie Is Loaded...
Hello all,

I have a Flash application of 140 .swfs. I am using a .exe projector file that calls all the other .swfs..

My issue is when the application is first started its at the document size of like 500x500 but if a user maximizes the window and then clicks a link to go to a different .swf, the new swf gets loaded but the window becomes un-maximized and gets shifted to the top left of the screen.

i want the window to stay maximized while a user is clicking around, any ideas on how to do this?

Maximized Site Windows
< Hiya peoples and peeps. Usually flash sites will have a html page telling certain requirments you need. Such as 2advanced. Well, to enter that site, you have to press the 'enter' button. This brings up a new window which is the main flash site.

I was wondering...what html code do you have to put in ur html page for that button to open a MAXIMIZED window?

I want the main site to be maximized and unresizable.

The current code I have right now is :

center a href="http://www.geocities.com/snk821/whatevername
(I took off the < and the >'s cause I wanted to show the code)

What should I put in there to have the window maximized + unresizable as soon as it opens???

How Do You Size The Flash Movie, So That It Can't Be Maximized?
Here is my question.

I want to know how to size the window for a flash movie. How do I make it so that the window cannot resize,

such as http://www.intellixmedia.com

And, how do I have it cover the browser? I know that full screen command makes it take over the whole screen, but how can I make it simply cover the browser, but still have the blue bar on top with the close button (x), and the minimize button (_)?

I would like to also have a flash movie fill the entire window area. I don't want any, html frame around it.

Could you give me the run down on all of these options? I'd truly appreciate it. I kind of need somebody to hold my hand through this.

Thanks.

Maintain A Movie's Scaling Size When Maximized
I know this is probably any easy one but I'd like to know how...

How can I maintain a movie's size so that if i Publish my movie as an swf or exe and someone makes the movie full screen (maximized), the contents don't scale to the size of the screen, they just stay where they are and stay the same size as when the movie opened.

PS - I'm not trying to get rid of the title bar or or stop the user from maximizing the movie.

Thanks

Maximized Flash Movie With External SWF-files
EDIT: For less blah blah and more focus on my actual question, check out the second post in this thread. Thanks!

------

Hello smart people,

I have a SWF-file with 2 objects in it:
1) A rectangle with a gradient colour that covers the entire movie, which is used as background for the site.
2) An empty MovieClip somewhere on top of the rectangle, used as a container to import external SWF files.

I want the rectangle with the gradient colour to cover the entire browser window, which I did by going to the Publish Settings - HTML and changing the dimensions to 100%. I also changed the setting "Scale" to "no border" to make sure my background (the rectangle with gradient colour) would be maximized as well.

The problem I'm having is that when the user makes his browser smaller, the whole main SWF and external SWF get smaller, and I want the external SWF to keep its dimensions. How do I fix this? The idea is a bit like www.monokai.nl, where the background fits every browser window from 1024x768 on, but all the components (buttons, logos, whatever) stay put.

Thanks in advance!

Flash Banner, Opens In Maximized Window

Thanks a lot

Need Urgent Help How To Combine Transition Class Tween Animation And Keyframe Animation?
Hi! I have a transitional tween class animation assigned to "mc_logo" on frame 1. However on frame 100, I have "mc_logo" animated on the timeline by regular keyframe animation.
I have assigned the tween class animation to "mc_logo" on frame 1 and the regular timeline animation starting on frame 100 does not execute now when I test the movie...why?

Do I need to end/clear the tween class animation so the regular timeline animation will work again?

Here is the code on frame 1 so far:

import mx.transitions.*;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.filters.*;
var LogoTweenY:Tween = new Tween(mc_logo, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, -120, 171, 30, false);

Thank you in advance for your help.

OnMouseOut{freeze Button Animation, Reverse Animation Back To..}
This is my question in an action script "perspective", since i dont wanna spend the time typing this question out in plain english..

How would i implement this effect into a button I made that contains a MovieClip as the over state? ::

onMouseOut{
stop button's Over animation on current showing/playing frame;
then reverse animation back to start
OR
fade out current showing/playing Over animation frame, back to the button's load state (not over)
};

Playing A New Intro Animation On Release During The Previous Outro Animation?
I know about external swfs and having intros and outros, but I want my intros and outros to overlap...

for example, I want a background that's red and rotates when you click button 1, but I want to it rotate and change yellow when I click button 2, or rotate and change green when I click button 3...

I don't want it to rotate than fade to black and finish before the next animation has started, cause otherwise I don't get the smooth colour change from red to yellow, rather it's red to black than yellow...any tutorials that can help me?

thanks...it's hard to explain

Simulating Hieracical Animation Tween Mixed With Timeline Animation..
The theory was that I animate my clip say across the stage using frames in the main timeline. So this animates fine, but when I use the Tween class inside this clip the timeline animation is destroyed! the tween class for the clip was just doing some animation repeating, like as if it was the clips own timeline...this overpowers the parent animation and the slide across the stage doesnt happen...

why? and is there a solution more importantly.

Play/Pause For Animation/Nested Animation And Sound
Hello and Goodmorning, afternoon or evening.

I am relatively new to actionscripting and have come upon a problem I'm sure is probably easy but for some reason I can't make it work.

Basically I have a presentation that plays several voice over sequences that match up with accompanying animations which are mostly movie symbols that house the animation sequences. Well now the client wants to put a pause/play button on the presentation and I haven't been able to make it work... I put in stops but the movie symbols still play out the sequence and the voice over starts over... not sure what to do... HELP!... and thanks ahead of time.

Help Linking Hit Detection To Animation In A Game (death Animation)
Hi everyone - I've just been experimenting with creating games in flash MX 04 and I've come across a problem that's had me stuck for a few hours now. I have just about everything working in my practice game, except when my character gets hit with the projectile... it won't go to the death movieClip that's located in the character's main movie clip (on frame 6 of it).

If anyone could check out the project file and let me know what i'm doing wrong it'd be greatly appreciated. The controls for the game are just the arrow keys to move the character, and down ducks - avoiding the projectile.

Thanks

Stopping Animation From Playing Before Another Animation Has Finished (On Keypress)
Hi guys

I've linked to the project I'm current working on; essentially, what it does is play a ripple animation at specific points on the stage when certain keys are pressed. What I'm trying to do at the moment is stop people from hammering one key many times, and creating several instances of a ripple in one location. As well as looking strange, it also slows down Flash considerably ;-)

I'm not really sure where to start, but what I'm thinking of would work as follows: -

Person pushes 'Q', and a ripple is triggered at the coordinates relative to that key. If they press 'Q' again, it is impossible to trigger another ripple at that location until the current ripple animation has finished. The same is true with all of the other keys (Q, E, S, Z, C, Up, Down, Left Right) when pressed.

However, it should still be possible to trigger ripples at the same time with different keys. For example, someone could press three different keys at the same time, and see three different ripples which play at the same time and overlap, etc.

Hope that's clear enough - if anyone could help me out with this, it would be most appreciated.

- Thanks!

Trouble Adding Animation To Existing Rollover Animation
Hey all,

I'm using Flash 8. I have a picture of a building which is segmented into floors. Upon rolling over a grouping of floors the user sees either a blue overlay, indicating they can click, or a gray overlay simply describing what the floor is. I already have some actionscript in place and I don't need to alter it, I just added more animation to an existing movieclip rollover, but it's not quite working. On one of the floors that rolls-over gray, I want an additional rollover with some text. So I made a movie clip of the rollover animating out and the type coming in and I just added it to the gray fade in movie clip since there was already onRollover actionscript in place there. However, the rollover kept playing over and over again. So, of course I added a Stop action. Then, the animation didn't work anymore, it just rolled over to the final state of that animation. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do, or what I can do as an alternative? I'll post the actionscript in case that helps. Like I said, the rollover "rolls-over" but either loops (without a Stop action), or rolls over to the final frame in the animation (with a Stop action).

Thanks!

[CS3] Create Animation That Runs From Button Click After Another Animation Has Run
Hi,

I am a newbie to flash & actionscript. I have, though, learnt the basics of flash animation, tweens & bits of actionscript and have created an animation movie consisting of sevral layers.
I have the movie stopping at the end and the graphics are all converted to buttons.
Now, from this end point, i want the user to click on one of the images (buttons) and then the flash movie to start a sub-animation.
BUT i don't know how to do this.
Do i need to create a new scene to do this or do i need to extend the layers and add the additional animation to the layers or do i need to add new layers to the same scene?
ALternatively, do i need to this in actionscript?

Please let me know what is the method of doing this in Flash. This seems like a simple thing which i've seen in flash movies before but i can't find any answers or tutorials on how to do this.
Please give me the steps involved in creating a second animation runnable from a click in the 1st animation.

To clarify further, my aim is to make the movie clip interactive using different motions 9or animations so that when an object in the 1st animation is clicked a different animation starts. So how can i achieve this?

Regards, shuja

Making An Animation Fade Into Another Animation When A Button Is Released?
okay, so I have for exmaple a red animated background for 'home' but when someone clicks 'media' for example, I want that red animated background to fade into a green animated background.

I tryed using external swfs, but I don't know how to make the outro animation of the first red swf fade into the intro animation of the second green swf, so it creates the effect of red into green, rather than red to black, than black to green.

any tutorials that could help me?

Converting Programmed Animation To Timeline Animation
hi,

I have made a simple animation using programming in Flash 5. It is all contained within one frame on the timeline. It constantly repeats itself and plays fine as an swf file and as quicktime (6).
The problem is, I want to import it into an application (after effects)that doesn't understand flash programming. It imports it as one frame and nothing happens when I try to play it.

I think the solution may be in converting it to a timeline animation for about a minute which has a definite start and end point but I don't know how to do this.

any ideas?

Button Animation That Ends Animation On Rollover
I design a button that glows on over. So the person rolls over the button and it glows other wise the button does nothing.

What I want is the button's glow animation to finish the animation after the person moves the mouse away. So once the mouse touches the button it starts the animation and if the person moves the mouse away the animation completes the time line(glow).

I designed a button with the glow as a separate animation/movie clip.

The animation is on the over state. But it does not play all the way threw the animation unless the person keeps the mouse over the button.

Please help me get this simple problem to work.

[CS3] Adding A Rollover Animation To An Existing Animation?
Hi there,

Sorry if the question sounds a bit confusing, but I've previously managed to create rollover animations for static movieclips, but I'm really struggling to add a rollover animation to a movieclip that already has an existing looping animation, and also ensure that there is a smooth transition regardless of where the looping animation has reached? Similar to what's in the following sites:

http://unlimited.orange.co.uk/flash/go

http://www.ileduboucanier.com/ileduboucanier.html

Any ideas/tips/links to tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

Storing A Dynamic Animation To A Static Animation?
Hi there.

Is there a way to create a static animation out of a dynamic animation?

Like this;
If I create a random "starfield" effect, and want it to be exactly the same every time - can I somehow store the animation to a swf or create automatic actionscript FROM the randomness I've already created?

Would be nice to know

How To Create Static Animation From Dynamic Animation?
Hi there.

If I have created a dynamic animation (placing 100 raindrops on a stage using a for-loop), how can I create a static animation out of this that I can use in a animation?

The reason for asking, is that I want to create a flash-video for TV, and for that I can't use movieclips or dynamic content at all...

So I appreciate any help

Timeline Animation Tweening Vs Actionscript Animation
Hi All.

The reason for this title is because I am currently producing flash banners for a company and have been looking all over the internet on such a subject.

My flash skills are somewhat limited. I currently make everything on the timeline and have started to see its limits. I find I am getting choppy movement with some of my animations.

I have tried using jpgs, pngs, gifs and vectors in flash but still get the same problems. I have tried setting the fps to 12, 24, 32 and 90.

I hear that flash 8 is apparently buggy and that you should set it to 31fps. Can anyone verify this?

Also I understand by uping the fps you start to encounter loading problems as you are starting to reload the whole piece your working on faster and faster and so computers with a low cpu will suffer.

I found by looking at using certain colours one can get around possible chopping problems and by spinning the word or image this can take away some of the effect.

I also read by setting publish to 'quality=best' can make a difference.

Next I've started reading about 'onEnterFrame' 'pressHandler' and OnMouseMove handlers in actionscript and how this can help.

Can anyone shed any light about how to get a nice simple smooth animation for a flash banner?

Many thanks
