SWFs On New Site Shift To Strange Places...



Hi everyone,

I'm putting together a portfolio site for a sound design student... Here are the barebones of it - uzugexe

Not all the content is there yet and I'm working on a background texture. I was wandering if any of you guys have a spare couple of mins could check out the site, going through it roughly in order...and then back again! You will see that some of the external swfs are loading in different places each time, or sometimes not at all! They tend to load in the right place to start with, but when you click a button to load in another one..it shifts to one side briefly before loading the new one....weird.

Must be something in my coding within the transition method. I borrowed the code and a similar idea from a friend, which I know is not the best idea, but I'm still pretty new to flash and programming in particular..and needed to get it done! Anyway turns out (as pointed out by someone else) that he must have got it from the transition tutorial on this site! So I've compared it and can't see any errors in the code... I plan to shape the design into my own once it is working properly...!

I've tried resizing all the external files to match the main movie, to avoid having to use the _x _y for positioning in the main movie.....still happens

Any help or advice very much appreciated

Thanks

Pat

PS - the first pieces are sound toys, with which sounds are triggered by mouse rollover, I think I will need to add text to prompt the user to do this... There is quite a lot of text still to add....

Strange Image Shift
I'm experiencing a reoccurring problem whenever I tween images. A portion of the image "shifts" during the animation.

It's not the whole image, just a section, usually towards the center. I've double-checked that the image is in the exact same x,y coordinate, so I know that the image itself is not moving.

Here's an example:
http://www.mmtglobal.com/flash-email/fast-food.html

Has anyone else experienced this and know how to fix it? Thanks!

Strange Behaviour Of Swfs Loading Into Each Other
Hi everybody. I have 3 differents swfs being each one a gallery. Each gallery has the same code and features a scroller that reacts on mouse position from right to left. Each gallery loads the 2 others with 2 buttons. The problem comes when I switch from one gallery to another : the scroller speed increases each time that I call another swf/gallery. As far as I can understand is that each swf loads on the top of the other and so, my mouse scrolls over several scrollers at once. How can I solve this problem ?
I am sure that my code is not the best ( even if all swfs are loading fine) but I can not finalize this.
Can somebody tell me what is wrong ??
TXX
a_mc.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("agallery.swf", 1);
_level0._visible = 0;
};
t_mc.onRelease = function() {
loadMovie("tgallery.swf", 1);
_level0._visible = 0;
};

Strange (but Simple?) Problem With XML & External SWFs...
Hello all,

I have a movie, "Main.swf". When you click the navigation buttons it loads external SWF's to act as different pages with this code:

loadMovie("http://www.myserver.co.uk/Flash/Market.swf","Placeholder_mc");

In the "Market.swf" I have a gallery which uses XML to dynamically load the images, thumbnail images & descriptions.

When I go to http://www.myserver.co.uk/Flash/Market.swf in the address bar, all the images work and everything loads perfectly.

However, when I load "Market.swf" into "Main.swf" The pictures, thumbnails & descriptions do not appear at all; Although other elements in "Market.swf" such as buttons etc do show up.

Why is there problems with the XML gallery when I am loading it as an external SWF but it works perfectly when I go directly to "Market.swf" via the address bar?

I have had this problem for a week now and cannot move forward with my work until I sort this out... I have posted on several different forums but no one has been able to help!

Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks.

[F8] Strange Loading External Jpgs/swfs Issue
More or less, everything is working fine, at least when I run the swf on my computer. However, there are 2 main issues:

1. The quality of the images are.. really low (when I was loading them directly off my computer, they were perfect, and when you view them on the site that they're hosted, they looked really good as well, but in the swf... not so much)

2. Ok this is the really weird one. Before I was loading URLs, I was not having this problem, but when I switched, this started happening: The image would only load if you clicked the button at least 4 times.. I mean.. wth, where did that even come from?

Can anyone please help me out? Here's the script I'm using (I took out some of the images since there were a lot of them


PHP Code:




imgbtn1.onRelease = function() {
    infoField._visible = true;
    startLoading("url would be here");
};
imgbtn2.onRelease = function() {
    infoField._visible = true;
    startLoading("url would be here");
};

function startLoading(whichImage) {
    loadMovie(whichImage, "imageLoader");
    _root.onEnterFrame = function() {
        infoLoaded = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();
        infoTotal = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();
        percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal*100);
        infoField.text = percentage+"%";
        if (percentage>=100) {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
            infoField._visible = false;
        }
    };
}







Also both the images and this were hosted on photobucket.. if that means anything

Strange Problem With My Site
I wasn't sure if this was the relevant forum to post this in(almost posted it in HTML), but does anyone know why the banners on the front of my site, as well as my Portfolio, are visible when you access it via: http://www.williamsmedia.net/

but not visible when it's accessed via: http://williamsmedia.net/ ????

site is fully Flash 8, and the portfolio is using a mySQL db; the banner on the front page is also using this I think in conjunction with the Slideshow Pro Component, so maybe it's the database naming conventions have the 'WWW' and it needs to be removed to target both?



weirdness if you ask me ;-p

and mods, sorry in advance if this is posted in the wrong place; feel free to move it appropriately of co urse, or ban me or sumthin

All In One Swf Site, Strange Problem
ive used the followin tutorial to make an all in one website where the separate swfs are loaded into a movie clip on my main stage.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/full_site.htm

in my main swf i am loadin the default section 'home.swf'
in the home.swf file i am using a method that creates the type on the screen letter by letter.

when i preview the home.swf file on its own, it plays like it should with 3 sentences appearing letter by letter, and then stopping.

when i preview my main.swf file, the home.swf keeps looping on the first frame it has loaded, i.e sentence one appears, then reappears, then again. and so on.

i will put code up but b4 i do, anyone know what could be causing this?

Strange Phantom Buttons On Site
Hello...I am using FlashMX and I have built swf's that have a menu system with MC buttons that change position when pressed. My problem is that I seem to have phantom buttons next to my original buttons!
These phantom buttons are exactly the same size as my other buttons, I can tell that from moving my mouse over the spot where the invisible buttons seem to be.

Has anyone ever encountered anything like this? Does anyone know what could cayse this? The site works fine, its just the mouse reacts like there is a button there when you move it over these spots right next to my real buttons.

Any Ideas?

Strange Echoing In Mp3 File On My Flash Site

Strange Display Problems On My Flash Site
Hey all,

I wasn't sure how to go about researching this problem because I don't know if there's a name for it. But, basically, on my Flash web page I see a lot of strange lines and silhouetted boxes in the background. It's probably due to the many layers in the scene, but is there a way to get rid of them so that the quality is restored? It really has a ruinous effect on the colors and the movement of different animations. If there's any adjustments I can make please let me know. The site is below if you wanted to take a look:

[F5] Organizing Different Swfs For One Site
i have a bunch of swfs which i load into my site with LoadMovie.
works perfectly on my computer...

except that when i put the movie to be loaded on level 1 where everything else is level 0 (i presume...) my cursormovie disappears underneath the loaded movie

>> how do i put the cursormovie on level 2??

AND:

>> how do i put it all on the net?
should the movies-to-be-loaded have particular names (that i put in the URL spec of LoadMovie action)
because now theyre named "picX.swf" instead of "http://www.picX.swf"

Preloader And Site With Many Swfs
hi all,
ive searched the forum but i didnt find any interesting answer to my question. sorry if this issue is somewhere in the forum.

so my question is - can i have external (or even internal) preloader that loads whole site. ive got a site that is main.swf which loades into scrollpane following swfs: news.swf, lessons.swf, contact.swf and info.swf.
now my deal is to make a preloader that exists before main.swf and loads all of the stuff (main,news,lessons,contact,info) to prevent visitors from noticin a choppy loading/animation in both of those swfs.

the loader would be external swf - loader.swf, that i will place on the html site, and it would load main.swf after finishin loadin all the swfs,
or the loader would be included to main.swf.

so - how to do it?

please help me ^^

Cached Swfs? Can't Update Site
I've built a Flash website. I have a "main" clip that loads smaller swfs (one for each link) into a movie holder clip. All is fine, but problems start when I want to update the thing. I work on the fla and burn off the swf and upload it. However, when I access the site and click on the link, it loads the swf (the older one) that's in the Temporary Internet file cache. To fix this (or attempt to), I specified an exact path to the swf to be loaded (e.g. http://www.mysite.com/myswf.swf) but this didn't cure the problem for some reason.

Is there something I'm missing here?

The site in question is http://www.cainmadness.com

Thanks in advance for any help.

Question About Multiple Swfs For One Site.
I am working on my first "serious" flash site. I use music and sound effects in it. A new sound loop on each page. I wanted to know if you guys think it is wiser to make a separate flash file for each new page? Or should I continue making each page as a new scene?

How To Make A Preloader For An HTML Site With .SWFs In It
I have 3 SWFs on an HTML site and want them all to start playing at the same time. Does anyone know some possible solutions. Is there a way to make kind of an intro preloader for the html and swfs. So that it loads all the info for the site then goes there?

Any input people have would be helpful thanxs in advance

Making Multiple .swfs In Site Work
hi everybody, i am extremely new to Flash, this is my first project where i've ever had to use scripting, so my way of constructing the site might seem less than efficient.

basically, i have a site that has 1 main page that will linke to 4 different sections. in each of these sections, there is one page, that leads to another. then on that page, there will be a button that links back to the main page.

i made all the pages separate .fla files, so i thought i could just have them all as separate .swfs, and then just load them one on top of each other.

BUT, when i told my prof this, he said it probably won't work (or something like that...he talks really fast and technical so i got lost quickly). basically he said that if i use the load/unload movie script, i would have to have two buttons so that the next page could be loaded, while the last movie is unloaded. since i can't really do that 'cause users won't always press on buttons in the order you want them to...

So, i'm at a bit of a loss now on how to finish this site! All but one of the pages are made.

[F8] Building A Site In Flash - Use Scenes As Pages Or SWFs
I am building my first big site in Flash.

As I add more and more content and the 'pages' become more complex with subnavigations and forms, I wonder if my approach to building pages - which is to create a scene for each page - is flawed.

So I'd like to ask the experts:
when you build a site do you make a new scene for each page or do you link from swf file to swf file?

Thank you

SWFs Play Locally (they Pull Xml Info From Another Site) But Don't Work Online
Hi there,

I've have built a fairly dynamic flash website that pulls images and text files from an xml file from another server. Now everything works fine when I test it locally but when I upload the files none of it works... The only difference is that the files online are embeded in an fullscreen HTML page.

View here

Click on 3D animation and you can see that the data is undefined.

Any ideas why the swfs can't pull the content in?

Help is really appreciated.

Using Shift
Whenever I hold to the shirt key to select multiple items my computer goes crazy and makes weird noises the moved the object to where my mouse pointer is and doesn't select the other object.

Thanks!

Bit Shift Help.
I'm trying to extract the alpha value from a 32 bit Number, like this:

var a:Number = ((c & 0xFF000000) >> 24);
where c = 0xEEDDEEEE for example.

trace("a: " + a.toString(16)); // -12

Obviously I expect a to be FF, but its -12 in hex!

How can I get a to be the correct alpha value?

The strange thing is that this works:

var r1:Number= ((c & 0x00FF0000) >> 16);
trace("r1: " + r1.toString(16)); // DD


Thanks

Bitmaps Shift?
Can anyone help me,

when I use an alpha fade motion tween, my bitmaps shift a pixel to the left.
If I add 0.5 pixels to the width, they don't shift but when I export it, they shift in the .swf version.

I already searched the Macromedia site but the solutions they offer don't work.

Unwanted Shift In Pic
I'm having a problem with a shift or small movement in my background pic. It doesn't happen in the .swf file when you look at it, but it does when you look at is via the html file. The shift occurs only in part of the pic, and it happens immediately following a motion tween that fades in the background (changing the alpha). Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Scroll Bar Shift
I always have this problem. I have a scrollbox with a bar. When you go to scroll, the bar shifts a pixel to the left. Solutions? (besides masking the bar).

AS for textbox and bar clip:
backheight = 273;
barheight = 60;
rate = 10;
back._yscale = backheight;
bar._yscale = barheight-5;
bar._x = back._x;
bar._y = back._y-(backheight/2)+(barheight/2);

AS for bar:
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
startDrag(_parent.bar, false, _parent.back._x, _parent.back._y-(_parent.backheight/2)+(_parent.barheight/2), _parent.back._x, _parent.back._y+(_parent.backheight/2)-(_parent.barheight/2));
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
stopDrag();
}

onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
if (_parent.bar._y<(_parent.back._y)+(_parent.backhei ght/2)-(_parent.barheight/2)-(_parent.rate/2)) {
setProperty(_parent.bar, _y, (getProperty(_parent.bar, _y))+_parent.rate);
}
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
if (_parent.bar._y>(_parent.back._y)-(_parent.backheight/2)+(_parent.barheight/2)+(_parent.rate/2)) {
setProperty(_parent.bar, _y, (getProperty(_parent.bar, _y))-_parent.rate);
}
}
}

Background Shift
I've looked at the 'mouse trailers' for ideas but haven't been able to find what I'm after. I'd like a large background graphic to slowly shift when the mouse moves. Is there a quick and dirty way to do this??? It needs to be slow and smooth, not fast and jerky like the mouse trailers. Thoughts???

Thanks so much

Sudden Shift
has anyone experienced a sudden shift of their flash movie to the right?
this happpens particularly when i am using sound scripts. i use a mac and ie to do the initial testing.

let me know because i am about to get new glasses..

Shift + Other Key Press Again...sorry
Ok

This time I'm trying to get the timeline to go to frame 20 if the user has the shift key and the 1 key down.

this is what I have:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_level0.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)){
if ((Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)&&(Key.isDown(Key==49)))){
_root.gotoAndStop(20);
}else{
_root.gotoAndStop(15);
}
}
}
Key.addListener(_level0);
}

as soon as I hit the shift key it goes to frame 15.

anybody?

Bitmap Shift Bug
See uploaded image at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~alkali/...ixel-shift.jpg

The problem I think is sometimes known as the pixel shift bug, banding, or bitmap shift.

At least half the time I import a graphic into Flash, i'll publish it and flash will have stuffed up one of the edges either by moving or cutting off a pixel completely, or blurring/moving two pixel strips together. Do Macromedia just expect no one to ever import a raster graphic into flash?

I've tried a number of things, such as making the graphic into a movieclip and setting to 99%, setting to no compression and 100% quality, importing the graphics as lossless png and no smoothing, setting quality to best in the timeline. Macromedia.com suggests you resize the image slightly, but that's not a professional solution, and in the case illustrated that won't work at all, nor will breaking it apart, as they are detailed photographic images.

SO, is there any proper way around this problem???

Thanks

Capturing Tab And Shift-tab?
Is this possible in flash mx?

I tried capturing 'tab' with a button and 'shift+tab' with a movie clip.

I've tried putting this code in a button:

[HTML]on(keyPress "<Tab>")
{
trace("HI");
}[/HTML]

But it looks like shift+tab activates the trace instead. (Anyone know why?)

I also tried this for the shift+tab movieclip:

Code:
onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.TAB) && Key.isDown(SHIFT)) {
//(Shift+TAB)
trace('testing');
}
}


Unfortunately the code above does nothing.

Shift + Click
I am making a movie clip in flash that i will nest in my Captivate 2 movie to add Shift + a mouse click functionality. I am not to sure how to check if the shift key is being press in the onPress function. here is my code so far


Code:
_root.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
myMC.onRelease = function(){
//chk if shift is being pressed then
_root.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndResume = 1;
}

Color Shift
Is there anyway to improve the color shift when importing graphics of file type .psd? I am already converting them to RGB (actually they were always RGB) before bringing them over to Flash, as the documentation suggests.

I notice when I publish the colors are more muted. I have increased the my jpeg compression the pbulish settings to 100% and have really seen no difference.

Shift+2 = @ But Only Online?
Flash CS3 / AS3 : When i compile and test my swf in flash I have to use alt gr-2 to get an "@" (danish keyboard layout) - but when i upload and test in firefox i have to use shift-2. IE works fine with alt gr-2

anyone knows what's going on?

FLV Color Shift
When I convert my high res quicktime mov file into the flv format the colors shifts to a darker over saturated hue. It does not ruin the video but it is a noticeable color shirt. In the FLV encoder I do not see any option for a color space. Does anyone know why this color shift happens.

Shift Constrain
I thought this was a bug with Flash CS3. But it's been over a year and no fix. It did this on my G5 running 10.4 and now on my new Mac Pro running 10.5. I assumed it was a bug since it does it on both of my computers. A bug like this should have been fixed immediately. Who doesn't use this feature to move just about anything in Flash?

I have to use my arrow keys if I want to move something without taking it off of its axis. A lot of times Flash will crash when I try to do this.


Anyone else having these problems?

thanks.

Mac-to-PC Font Shift
I am having a hard time tracking down some solid info on the font shift that happens when working on a FLA file between a Mac and a PC. From some accounts this has been a problem for a while. We are running CS3 and it is still a problem.

I found the PixelShift extension that was linked to on this site here:
http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000386.php

This is great except that it does not take into account that the displacement is relative to the pt. size of the font and only sifts fonts with a fixed pixel value.

Does anyone know of any other workarounds or of Adobe's plan to fix this?

A Question About Shift Key
I am trying to force text to capitalize or not depending on user typing, but don't want to use a simple input field. Can I do something like the attached code with a check for if the SHIFT key isDown?

Also, is there any reason I can't use the delete key to perform an action -- beside it being bad form? I have tested a simple trace but cannot get it to work:

on (keyPress "<Delete>") {
trace("hit");
}

Thanks







Attach Code

on (keyPress "a") {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)) {
makeText(a_array);
enter_txt.text += "A";
enter_txt.setTextFormat(enter_fmt);
} else {
makeText(a_array);
enter_txt.text += "a";
enter_txt.setTextFormat(enter_fmt);
}
}

Stage Shift
I have a all my code in external classes. When I compile, I get no errors in Output or in Compiler Errors. All my content is working properly except that everything on the stage is shifted to the right about 10 pixels. This happened to me once before and I tracked it down to a variable that was not type cast inside of a for loop. This project is larger. What error actually causes the stage to shift? What do I look for in the debugger? I am loading one xml file and one image. While using the debugger and stepping through the program, the stage has shifted before the image is even called.

Pitch Shift
I am wondering if it's possible to change the pitch of an audio file playback. It was suggested to me that maybe putting the sound into a quicktime file and manupulating the video's framerate might make it possible. The other thing I'd like to do would be to fast forward or rewind the audio file as it's playing. These things may not be possible, I have not found any supporting info to that effect in my searching. I have been able to change the pitch of an audio file in director with lingo, but I am trying to do it with actionscript 3.0 now...

Shift+Tab Works, But Not Tab
It appears as though you can't use Tab to cycle through buttons or PushButton components. But you can use Shift+Tab.

How can I enable Tab to work as it should?

Using Flash MX.

(For a demonstration, create a new document, drag 3 PushButtons from the Components panel. Then when you test the movie, amazing! Tab doesn't work, but Shift+Tab does.)

I am stumpted. :(
Any help or hints are appreciated.

        // Math.round(Math.random()*540);
        trace(fred._x);
        myColor = new Color(fred.innerC);
        myColor.setRGB(0x00FF00);
    }
};


my assumption is the registration point of the mc relative to the base of the mc clip but apart from the obvious (minusing the x and y values) I don't know how to correct it

cheers guys

Shift Jis Messages File
I am facing one problem while loading a file saved in Shift_Jis format.
I am able to load the japanese messages file saved as Unicode format.
While loading the Shift_Jis file, the junk characters are displayed in the text box.
Please let me know your implementations while dealing such problems.

Import Jpg / Color Shift
Hi,

I'm importing a series of scanned maps (that have been compressed and fit in photoshop) into flash MX. Most look allright, but a few have taken nasty color shifts (they're maps from the 1800s and are absurdly neon--heavy magenta and cyan in Flash). Is this a problem with Flash, or do I need to adjust the colors in photoshop? I've played with the files in photoshop and re-imported them, but they keep going neon.

Thanks for any help.

Shift Key Angle Increment
Is there any way to change the angle increment that is set by holding the shift key? It's traditionally set to 45 degrees but I'd like to change it. Anyone know if it's possible?

The Infamous Pixel Shift..
I know this has been discussed on this forum probably more times than it should have been.. however it's got me in a state of confusion.

http://www.1337designs.com/test/main/loadmovie.htm

the bottom section there are three content windows, the two side windows are fine, however the larger window on the left, the top bar is experiencing pixel shift. (on the left side where the angle is)

I have allow smoothing off, I have tried breaking it apart, it was imported as a PNG, it's dimensions are exact (375x14) and it sits on a complete axis (-337,-117).. I have also tried scaling it to 99%. Nothing seems to work.. any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
