SWF File Appears To Loop When On The Server
Thanks for checking this post out.
I am designing a relatively complex Flash site. During the development stages, I hosted the files at http://www.russcooper.net. There, everything was working as expected. This morning I uploaded the files to the real URL to be used: http://www.russcooperinc.com.
The exact same swf files and HTML file were uploaded to the new domain and THERE the swf appears to be looping the root timelime indefinitely. Both of these domains are hosted on the same server, however, the problematic one has a dedicated IP. I don't know if that is an issue, but other than that, I can't see any difference in these two domains.
There is nothing in the flash file to cause this loop or it would loop on the test domain as well. I'm lost, and today is the interim presentation to the client. Hope someone has some insight!!!
Thanks again.

String-Object Appears When The Movie Passed First Loop
Hi there.
My flash movie loads a variable from an external text file (in the first frame). In the second frame I made a new String object and give the consructor the variable from the text field (is '9675'). Then I made a text field (dynamic) and linked it to the string object (to display it).
Now the curious:
The text field don't display the string object immediately. But when the movie has played once and start again, it is displayed.
How can I display the string object immediately?? (It has to be a string object because I want to operate with it in future)
Thanks for helping...

.txt File Appears Only After Refreshing
For ease of client updating I am using a simple text document for current news headlines on the clients home page. However when they go to the test site the text does not appear, but if they refresh or come back to the page then the headlines appear. The site uses several layers (5) with the txt file set to the same layer as the .swf file asking for the headline .txt file. Also for ease of client use I have put what I am calling the "Blog" section into its own separate folder and again the text file used in that section into a separate folder within. (In hopes that the client won't delete or update any files other than this one by saying it's in the "headlines" folder... I know wishful thinking)
The problem that I am having is that on all of my office computers (PC and Mac's) the problem is not happening? The text shows up nice and clear? And on 20% of their computers it's working fine?
Any suggestions?
Preloader File Appears, Then Disappears
Hi all! I just launched this site, and i'm having some serious issues with it. My preloader pops up briefly, then completly disappers, you have to refresh the browser in order to view it.
Here is the code that I am using for that particular section
Code:
MovieClip.prototype.LoadCube = function(targ, swf, func)
{
targ.loadMovie(swf);
var trig = function()
{
if(targ.getBytesLoaded() == targ.getBytesTotal())
{
func(targ);
clearInterval(targ.inter);
}
}
targ.inter = setInterval(trig, 1);
}
var cube1func = function(targ)
{
var t = _root.cubetainer;
var trig1 = function()
{
targ.gotoAndStop("beginMovie");
t.targ = _root.cubetainer2;
clearInterval(trig2);
}
var trig2 = setInterval(trig1, 1000);
}
var cube2func = function(targ)
{
_root.smallloaded = true;
if(!_root.isplaying) _root.cubetainer.play();
}
_root.LoadCube(_root.cubetainer, "largeCube.swf", cube1func);
_root.LoadCube(_root.cubetainer2, "smallCube.swf", cube2func);
_root.cubetainer2._visible = false;
logo_mc.onRelease = function () {
_root.cubetainer2.loadMovie("smallCube1.swf");
_root.cubetainer._visible = false;
}
stop();
I think what is causing this is the file size of the rotating cube.swf file which is loaded into a mc on my main stage. I recently purchased flash optimizer to reduce the file size, which worked out kinda ok.
Is there and error in the above code, which might cause the preloader to appear, then disappear?
Also! Is there a better method to reducing file size of animated swf files?
Thank you all,
Mikro
File Size Report Appears Inaccurate?
hi,
i'm trying to reduce the size of my SWF... it's currently 53,470 bytes (53k) when i check the size on my desktop, but it should be a lot smaller according to my size report.
i've attached the size report below.... i totalled everything up and got 38,123 bytes. did i miss something? why is my size report telling me that my movie is smaller than it really is?

Why Is There A White Flash Before .swf File Appears In HTML?
Here is the URL to see the page. http://www.visim.com/ironrealms/imperian/default.htm
Only "main" and "features" in the main tab currently work. When you click on them the area where the .swf menu is turns white for a split second and then shows the menu. The top area which is also in flash doesnt do this. Why is the menu doing this?
Also when you first view the page notice how the main area is sitting. When you click on one of the swf buttons the page shifts a bit, any ideas on this one as well?
Thanks for any help.

Please let me know what I have missed or show us how you do it.

Scrollbar Tutorial: Html Appears In External File
hiya!
i've used your great "external file with scrollbar UI component" tutorial. text appears and scrolls. thanks alot!
but i want to use the allowed html in the external file: bold, a href, font, etc.
i'm horrified to see that even with the html option selected, when you attach the scrollbar UI to the textfield, the html reverts to code! no bold text but the html code displays! yikes!
any workarounds?

How To Reveal A .swf Server Directory Behind A Host Html Index File To Save A Flash File To HD?
I FIND YOUR FLASH FORMAT EXTREMELY USER-UNFRIENDLY.
I spent two weeks to figure out how to save a complete .swf file to my local drive.
Finding 48 files behind a main html doc hosting those .swf's took 48 hours.
(Now I can't move my arm anymore due to RSI!)
No application to save a Flash file, seems to be able to do that in 1,2,3 convenient steps.
I always get bits and pieces or individual graphics.
I NEVER GET THE ENTIRE MANUAL the way I can browse the Flash file in my browser.
I am seriously thinking of never browsing a Flash file again if there is no solution to download e.g. a manual of my digital camera. I have the right to browse such a file at my convenience either on or offline! Online it's just impossible due to server overload.
Now I only get the desadvantages of the format to deal with (e.g. tons of spamming advertising) whereas I should be able to enjoy the benefits. Eventhough I gave the manufacturer the right to fill up 10 MB on my drive, I never got a file on my PC. And even when I did, I wouldnt know where to find it...
I hope Adobe would listen to the user more often...
WHY DON'T YOU BUILD SOLUTIONS AS EASY AS A RIGHT MOUSE CLICK
ALLOWING FOR SAVING A FLASH FILE!
That can't be rocket science, is it?
Thank you for paying attention to your customers.

HOW TO DISABLE "..press Spacebar To Activate This Button" That Appears On My Swf File
Hi... i don't know which category should i post this, but since im using mx2004 I just posted it here.
Why do my swf files need to be activated by clicking with a mouse or spacebar while i see other pages like yahoo no longer requiring the user to do it?
Please tell me... i know this may seem simple to others but I don't have any idea how to fix it.
Thanks

Local Flash File And File Installations From A Server
Hello all, just a query that I have.
Is there any way for a local Flash file to communicate with a server and download a file, and then install it in a predetermined directory?
For example, if a file package BOOK1 is available on a server, can I get Flash to download it and place it in the current directory that it is in? Will this require network sockets or passing of variables between javascript or the like?
Thanks in advance.
Stream Works From Local Desktop To Server But Not Server To Server
I have flash media server running on linux. If I launch a test application from my desktop that points to the flash media server (rmtp://myserver.com/live) it works beautifully. However, If I launch an application from my server(http://myserver.com/myapp) and have it point to my flash media server (rmtp://myserver.com/live) i get a rejected from server error. Does anyone know why this would behave like that and how it might be fixed? Thank you.
Getting A .exe File To Log Use On A Remote Server
Let me explain,
I currently design a flash promotional card for a client who regularly sends it out to 100 or so of their clients.
The file is simply an .exe attachment on an email.
While they can measure the email side of things, they want to know if there is any way they can see exactly how many people play the .exe
Thus i am wanting to know if anyone is aware of a way to code some sort of function in action script that will enable this.
Ideally it would gather the users ip and log this info on a remote server or something. (reason for the IP info is simply to eliminate repeat viewing counts - they only want unique views)
Anyone know if this is possible (or ethical for that matter)
Cheers

Loading An Mp3 File From A Different Server: Is This Possible
By default flash will not allow you to load a sound from a different server. Can this be done using actionscript?
Currently I have a file:
mySound.loadSound("sound/sound.mp3", true);
this file has been moved to a different server while the flash file is on a different server. I need to do something like this:
mySound.loadSound("//servername/sound/sound.mp3",true);
Thanks.

Download File From Server
I'm creating a Flash site that is to be the Flash version of a basic html site. On the html site there are links to .doc files and .lsn files (CBT lessons), when the user clicks to open a file a box pops up - do you want to download or open this file?
Is there a way to do this in Flash?

Help Saving A File To The Server
we need to be able to save to our server from the program we have on the net. so if someone designs a window they can hit save and it will save it to our server
is there anyway this can be done??
to see what we are trying to do go here
www.middlefieldglass.com
and then click on high speed dsl
then on any of the doors
then on the door that appears on the stage
you will then be able to design that door and what they want to do
is when a person is done designing that door for that image to be saved along with the information provided to a spot on our server only becouse we can not find a way for the user to email us what they have done.
How To Upload A File To The Server
What I have is an application that updates an XML file sends it to a PHP to save thi data to the server. For each entry, there is an associated file that needs to be uploaded to the server also. HOW can I do this? I know PHP will handle uploads, I am not exactly sure how yet( another language to learn and digest ) how may I let the user browse for the file to choose? Maybe a lil java applet or script can do this, I think All I need is the path and then send that info to the php script to grab??? This project NEEDS this upload... ANY IDEAS would be most helpfull on how this can be accomlished. I am using Flash MX as the front end and PHP on the server to write the updated XML file..
Thanx for your time
I see a browse on this post message page... what do I need to do?
Can AS See If There Is A Text File On The Server...
i'm just wondering if it's possible for some AS to check to see if there is a text file on the server... if there is, i'd like a MC to play, which would then load the contents of the text file...?
this is for an events calendar; i'd like to save the text files with a file name that is the date (29.01.06.txt for example), and for the Flash movie to play and load the contents into the calendar if such a file exists.
if anybody's got any better suggestions for making such a calendar... that's very easy to update/add to, that'd be great!
cheers

.swf File Will Not Upload To Server
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3. I'm new to Flash and It seem that every time I take 3 steps forward I have to take one back. I've inserted the .swf into the html page, where it resides inside a cell within a table. It plays there, and in Preview In Browser.
I've uploaded the .html page to the server but the movie (and all the code relating to it) will not go along with the rest of the page contents. There is no trace of any movie coding anywhere on that .html page on the server.
I have three other Flash movies on this site, all on different .html pages. All the elements of all the Flash movies are in their own folders, all of which reside in one single Flash folder. The other three movies play successfully on the server.
And on my computer, in Dreamweaver Code View, the correct path to the .swf file is present. But, only for that one movie, none of the Flash movie code will upload to the server.
Hoping someone can help... Thanks... oslavens
Writing To A File Without Going Through Server
I am trying to write to a file without using a php script (or anything server-side), as my swf is intended to be a stand-alone front-end for a Win32 app.
In an ideal world I would like to have the Fscommand functionality of version 5, but that is unavailable in MX2004.
I appreciate that I have posted along these lines before, but I have tried to be more concise, and as clear as possible this time (I shan't be starting another topic of this ilk after this one)
More detail:
I would like Flash to write to a .bat file- passing it the appropriate values- to open .exe files (which could be anywhere on the system - I don't want to move anything into a specific folder).
I am convinced there must be a work-around... even if it involves 3rd party tools like Zinc, JScript... anything that doesn't involve server interaction.
Many, many thanks for your expertise and continued patience.

Getting Text From A .txt File On Another Server
Hi - I have a news ticker that pulls text from a .txt file.
Is there a way to make flash pull the text from a .txt file on another server (other than the one where the swf resides)? - I assumed that one would just have to update the path within the Flash movie but that don't seem to work.
Any help or suggestions welcome...
Storing An Xml File On Server
this may sound like a very stupid question, but i have this xml problem :
i just finished eas1 & 2 and now i'm just starting to experiment with all this new knowledge ... So i want to make a simple counter which tracks the number of times that a link has been clicked. I'm convinced that you can't use a flash program to keep track of this number because all the variables are resetted once you leave the program. Or am i wrong here?
So i thought about using an xml file that i store on a server, and everytime someone opens the .swf containing the link that i want to track, this xml file is read. the xml simply has two nodes with the name of the link and the number of times it has been clicked. So whenever the .swf is opened which contains the link to track, it reads the xml, and if you click the link, it adds the amount of clicks by one.
The problem that i'm having now is that i don't know anything about serverside scripts, so i don't know how to save this new value. I thought about 'send' or 'sendAndLoad' but appearantly this isn't enough to get flash to update the .xml file on the server.
I'm expecting a book on php and mysql any day now (amazon is way overdue...) so i guess that i'll find the answer in that book (if it ever arrives) but untill then, i would like to ask if someone knows if there is an easy way to do this? And another thing that i was thinking about : is this approach the right way at all to do this? because i can imagine that if two people simultaniously click the link, the amount of clicks won't be correct because the .swf's on both computers will just read the same values, and each add this by one, while it should be increased by two....
sorry for the long text, i didn't know how to shorten this text and still keep it clear....
Hope someone can help!! thx
Does The FLA File Need To Be On The Remote Server
I can't find the information file now, but I seem to remember something about Flash content needing the FLA file to work. Or I'm imagining things, again. So, does the Flash project FLA file need to be uploaded to the remote server?
Thanks,

.flv File Corruption On Server?
i'm trying to use progressive download to play an .flv file on an html page. i'm using flash and dreamweaver 8, and when i insert the .flv and open the html file locally with a browser, the video plays just fine.
however, when i upload the files (along with the flv_player and skin .swfs) to a server, there is nothing there. any ideas what might be causing this?
i'm using an intel macbook pro and uploading to a linux server. i've also tried it on a unix server.
i've run into cases in the past where i've tried to transfer files from my mac to a server or email a file to someone else, and the file won't work, i guess it gets corrupted in the transfer. in those cases, i just enclosed the files into a .zip folder and transferred that, and then when the user on the other end unzips it, the files are fine.
however, this doesn't seem like a practical solution for this particular problem, assuming that's even the case.
any ideas, or anyone else encounter this out there? i saw another post with a similar problem, but no one seems to have replied to it yet. does that mean nobody knows how to address this?

Upload .flv File To Server Via FTP?
Is there a trick to uploading an .flv file to my server?
I keep trying to do so but when it transfers ws_ftp makes the failed to upload sound. Though the file appears to be there after the upload it says that is is 0 in size, even though it is 364 kb in real life.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
