Flash :: SitePoint Flash Scripts

The SitePoint Flash Anthology Book - Charting In Flash
I have been reading the section on "Charting in Flash" - and I have searched the Macromedia site for the Flash Charting Components Set 2 (Developer Resource Kit 5) - but have had no luck in locating this elusive component.

If someone could give me a link to that component that would be great. I downloaded some other charting components, but none have been as jazzy as the one presented in the book.

Alternatively, can someone recommend a good charting component that can take db data and display dynamic flash charts and graphs?

Thanks for your help.

Sitepoint Tutorial Problem
Hey guys, if you watch this flash for a long time, the snow constantly moves to the left, i used the code from a sitepoint tutorial and the tutorial does that too.

www.tsncentral.com/~marshallx/snow.html

I have attached the flash, flashmx and html files if someone could look it over and let me know what is wrong.

Question About Sitepoint Tutorial
I have a simple question about the tutorial named "Cool Effects & Practical ActionScript - Chapter 3: Animation Effects".

I'm partway through the Duplication example using raindrops -- specifically,
example 3.15. It works fine, but I don't fully understand why.

The code uses duplicateMovieClip to create many copies of a "raindrop" movie clip, which is defined as a graphic symbol that moves down the full height of the stage. The code uses the .gotoAndPlay method of the movieclip to specify a random frame within the movie clip to start each raindrop's animation.

I would expect to see raindrops appearing in mid-air at random Y positions before they complete their descent. But I don't see that -- the animation successfully shows each new drop starting from the top of the stage.

Can someone explain why this works? I must be misunderstanding something very simple.

SitePoint Book Error?
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code.
I have reviewed it many times but it doesn't seem to work like the book shows it to work...This is the VERTICAL NAVIGATION from COOL EFFECTS AND PRACTICAL ACTION SCRIPTING....
The clips that I created act weird, could it be that I am using Flash 8?
It's driving me nuts...Thanks for your help =)

SitePoint Podcast Player
I am looking to build a site that will have some audio files I'd like a user to be able to play in the browser.

I like the player that SitePoint uses for the podcasts. I've seen this same player on multiple sites. Is this a free player? Can anyone link me to a place where I can download it?

Anticipating SitePoint Flex 2 Book
do the publishers at sitepoint anticipate printing a flex 2 development book in the near future? if so, i would be the first to purchase and publish a review.

i have been dabbling in flex for a month or two now and find it one of the most straightforward, flexible development environments i have experienced. i am cruising through a dvd, and would like a book for reference as i begin more detailed development.

there are very few books available at present, and my experience with sitepoint books has always been solid. so... where the heck is the flex 2 book???

Script Doesnt Work From Sitepoint Book
Hi guys,

I just purhased the 'Cool Effects and Practical Actionscript' for FlashMX2004 by Sitepoint. Upon following the first tutorial for some reason it doesnt work, surprise surprise, but Im am 99.9999% sure I have copied the script in its entirety. It demonstrates a horizontal navigation bar with 4 buttons and a sliding movie clip.

This is what I have written...(refer to bottom of post for more details)

//Global Variables for Sliding Area
_global.speedFactor = 0.3;
_global.InfoStartXPos = InfoMC._x;
_global.InfoXPos = InfoStartXPos;
//Create an array for the positions of the information area
_global.InfoMC_X = new Array (-160, -360, -560, -760);
function InfomationSlideTo (number)
{
InfoXPos = InfoMC_X[number];
}
function InfomationSlideBack (number)
{
InfoXPos = InfoStartXPos;
}
//Code for Buttons
//Option_Button
_root.Option_Button.onRollOver = function ()
{
InformationSlideTo (0);
};
_root.Option_Button.onRollOut = InformationSlideBack;
_root.Option_Button.onPress = function ()
{
getURL ("http://www.jeremyraven.co.nz");
};
//Option_Button_2
_root.Option_Button_2.onRollOver = function ()
{
InformationSlideTo (1);
};
_root.Option_Button_2.onRollOut = InformationSlideBack;
_root.Option_Button_2.onPress = function ()
{
getURL ("http://www.google.com");
};
//Option_Button_3
_root.Option_Button_3.onRollOver = function ()
{
InformationSlideTo (2);
};
_root.Option_Button_3.onRollOut = InformationSlideBack;
_root.Option_Button_3.onPress = function ()
{
getURL ("http://www.jeremyraven.co.nz");
};
//Option_Button_4
_root.Option_Button_4.onRollOver = function ()
{
InformationSlideTo (3);
};
_root.Option_Button_4.onRollOut = InformationSlideBack;
_root.Option_Button_4.onPress = function ()
{
getURL ("http://www.google.com");
};
InfoMC.onEnterFrame = function ()
{
this._x -= (this._x - InfoXPos) * speedFactor;
};

initially the _root. was not in the book and my script did not work for the buttons until I wrote it in myself, then the links work. But the sliding action of the InfoMC doesnt work at all so I was thinking that the book had forgotten to put a piece of script in like it did for the buttons. I am using Flash Professional 8 which may be the problem also. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? I have named all my instances as they appear in the script also.

Just wondering if this is quite common. Thanks Jeremy

Can You Open A Flash File Made With Flash Mx, Using Flash Mx 2004?
Hi,

I have recently purchased flash mx 2004. However when I go to open my old flash mx flies in flash mx 2004 all I get is unexpected file format! Why is this? Also when I open flash mx 2004 and try to open one of the sample files it comes up with the same message!

Also when you download and install an extension from macromedia exchange, how do you then use the extension feature in flash? Were do you find it?

Any help on these matters would be appreciated?

Thank you

How Do You Update A Flash Object Without Flash? Selling A Flash Site.
I am wondering what may be a large wonder. If I create a website with flash etc for somebody else, how can they update their own site? For example, if they have an 'updates' page, I don't want to have to keep on redoing it for them in Flash. I heard words like 'strings' and 'XML' kicking about, but don't really understand it. Thanks,

Alex

Making A Flash Website (flash In A Flash In A Flash Etc...)
I am working on a flash "database" as it's called and to make this possible I will need to have multiple flash documents that load within a flash to keep the loading time down, otherwise the filesize would be astronomical!

To see what I am working on go to http://www.axeldesigns.com/h2/helpdatabase then click "menu button" to open the project. Hopefully then you can get a good sense of what I am trying to accomplish...So when you click on the individual links, I want a flash within the main flash to load completely on top with it's own load bar and everything.

I'm not very experienced with action scripting, but I am quite experienced with the animation side of flash and drawing tools etc...

So, if anyone knows of any tutorials or examples that I could work off of, please help me out.

Will An Swf Made In Flash MX That Is Exported As Flash 4- Play On Flash 4 Cpu's?

Flash Over Html, Hide Flash Access Html After Flash Movie Ends
We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.

when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).

this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox...!

anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?

any input would be greatly appreciated!

Flash/CSS Question: Can Flash In A <div> Overlay Another <div> Containing Flash?
I'm guessing this answer is no but thought I'd ask anyway.

With the "wmode" set to transparent I can get my top div to overlay text/background images no problems but not on top of another flash movie.

Can it be done?

Flash 8 Function Not Working In Flash 8 But In Flash 9
I use this piece of Code from Senoculars Matrix Tutorial:

Code:
import flash.geom.Matrix;
function duplicateMovieClipImage(from, target){
var pics= new flash.display.BitmapData(from._width, from._height);
pics.draw(from);
target.attachBitmap(pics, 1);
}
duplicateMovieClipImage(this.viewer.picHolder, doubleSize.bigpic);
var my_matrix2 = doubleSize.bigpic.transform.matrix;
my_matrix2.scale(1, 1);
my_matrix2.tx = -2;
my_matrix2.ty = -2;
doubleSize.bigpic.transform.matrix = my_matrix2;

duplicateMovieClipImage(viewer.picHolder, normalSize.bigpic);
var my_matrix = normalSize.bigpic.transform.matrix;
my_matrix.scale(0.25, 0.25);
my_matrix.tx = 0;
my_matrix.ty = 0;
normalSize.bigpic.transform.matrix = my_matrix;
When I play this in a Flash 9 Player everything is made correct (A Pic generated in its Original Form and one in its 0.25/0.25 Size.

But when I watch this in a Flash 8 Player (8.0.22.0 that is)

the Script is ignored

any1 know why???

Web Application has Flash content (SWF file) and is Version 9.0 and uses Action Script 3.0.

I cant use the functions like flashApp.Getvariable(varName) or flashapp.TotalFrames() as mentioned http://code.google.com/p/flash-selenium/

I see documentation and functions listed at ( http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/p...h/scriptingwit hflash_03.html functions for Flash 5 ), i cant use them . I get exception all the time.

I am trying to access the varibales in the flash movie which is loaded using GetVariable but Selenium throws an exception but no information message.

I want to ask can I use functions listed on above adobe site with Flash 9 movie with Action Script 3.0 ? If not is there any way to get variables inside Flash movie using Flash External Interface and Selenium RC ?

How Print Html Page Or Word Outside Flash When Click Button Inside Flash ?
hello,

how print html page or word outside flash when click button inside flash ?

any ideas or what the action can help me to do that ?

Remove Double Click In XP For Flash & Show Flash In Firewall Protected Environment
Remove Double click in XP for flash & show flash inside firewall protected environment

Here is some code that will disable the annoying double click feature for flash when using XP. This code also enables all viewers to see your flash. For example some firewalls block flash (SO STUPID) but with this code instead of using the embed tags and object tags allows those users behind firewall environments to see your hard worked flash masterpiece.

Okay here is how you do it.
Inside your main file that is calling the flash .swf.
Remove the code that you currently have there and replace it with the code that is inside the putInsideIndex.html (see attachment)
Make sure that you change the name of the movie in that code so that it opens your swf. You might need to change the width and the height too so that you don't have your flash looking like a monster.

Alright then you need to take the other file called RemoveDoubleClick.js
Open it in your editor and change the name to the name of your choosing on line 12. Then post that file (DO NOT RENAME IT) into the same directory as the main file that you edited above. Most cases that would be the index.html or whatever.

So enjoy and start letting EVERYONE see your sites & be more user friendly!
GOOD LUCK!

Outputting Data In Flash To Text Documents, Creating Textdocs With Flash & Mc Filters
Question 1: How do I add a filter to a movieclip from actionscript,
More specificly, the "adjust color" filter, and I want to decrease brightness, saturation, hue, and contrast... by actionscript...
If you dont know what I mean, use the circle tool to create a circle, convert to movie clip, click the "filter" tab, then click + and add a adjust color filter, you'll see what I mean...

Question 2: I need to output text to 'text' documents, no I cannot use shared objects for this, as it is a program for a client, and it isn't safe enough for me...

Basically, this is what I want to do...

Code:
var archive:Array = [];
archive[7] = "Hello I am the 8th archive";

//save to a text document called "archive7" in the directory myProgramfiles
//finished with code...
then

on initilization of my program, it'd do this

Code:
//get text from the text document I saved in the directory "myProgramfilesarchive7"
Thats what I really need

Question 3:Is there a way to create a folder, text document, through flash
//example

Code:
var textdoc:TextDocument = new TextDocument();
textdoc.name = archive7;
textdoc.text = "Hello I am the 8th archive";
Can anyone tell me how to do this

Thanks in advance

Flash 6 Generator Equivalent To Export Dynamically Populated Images From Flash
I'm trying to do an automatic export of graphics developed in flash, for static site elements- graphic buttons.
Generator used to export images from dynamically populated templates, but MX does not support generator, Also being that generator ran with 4 and 5, dynamic text field sizing was not an option-this is necessary to fit the button graphics to text.

Is there either something that I can generate buttons with flash, or has anyone seen a button generator that can batch export and use imported graphics?

Thanks in advance!!!

Using Flash To Open A New Browser Window - Exact Size Of Flash Movie?
Hi,

In Dreamweaver, I've previously used the 'open new browser window' behaviour from a link to display my Flash movies, and entered the .SWF filename as the URL to launch (this launches a browser window thatls exactly the size of the movie, no scrollbars, buttons etc). Can I do a similar thing with Flash's 'get URL' command, or does that only go to HTML/HTM files?

Cheers, Skratch

Pass Variable To Custom Function Not Working In Flash MX For Flash 6 Player
I have a Flash application that I built in Flash 5 that I want to now output in Flash MX (not 2004, though) for Flash 6 Player. The problem is that part of my code, which works fine if published for Flash 5 Player, breaks if published for Flash 6 Player. I am loading text from an external text file, and then passing the text contents of each variable to a function (to strip line breaks). Following is the code... does anyone know how to rewrite this so that it will work as Flash 6 Player swf? The contents of the variable are not getting passed, and eval does not work on left side of expression... I've tried everything I can think of...

Thanks in advance for help.

-S

PHP Code:

/* content, correct, Q1, Q2, Q3, etc are all variable loaded from external text file. I am trying to pass contents of variables, which is why I need to eval them. This worked in Flash 5, but not in Flash MX if I publish as Flash Player 6 file.  */
temp = stripLineBreak("content");
temp = stripLineBreak("correct");
for (i=1; i<=10; i++){
     z="Q"+i
     temp = stripLineBreak(z);
}

function stripLineBreak(x) {
     tempArray = new Array();
     tempArray = eval(x).split("
");
     eval(x) = tempArray.join("");
     tempArray.splice(0,tempArray.length);
     tempArray = eval(x).split("
");
     eval(x) = tempArray.join("");
     tempArray.splice(0,tempArray.length);
}

Ie6 Crashes When The Mousepointer Leaves The Flash Movie Area. [Flash Player 8]
Not sure if this is the right area for this thread, but i'm not sure where it fits in...

I have a draggable map program that uses LoadVars.load to send location messages back to the server.

After a user saves a location, thereby triggering the load() method, and then moves their mouse pointer outside the area of the .swf movie on the html page, the browser crashes.

I haven't been able to replicate it on any other computer except this users', which is using Flash Player 8, and IE6. Of course the only user of this side of the app, is this user, so im forced to find an answer.

Anyone else run into this, or have any wisdom to impart on me?

Any Way To Activate Flash Fullscreen Mode When Flash Movie Loads In The Browser
Hi all,

I want to activate Flash Fullscreen mode when flash movie loads in the browser. Without activating it through button clicks.

I tried for this using this type of code:

function goFullScreen()
{
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
}
goFullScreen();

But it is not working this way, it is working when I put this type of code:

function goFullScreen()
{
Stage["displayState"] = "fullScreen";
}
button.onRelease=function()
{
goFullScreen();
}

thanks in advance,
Vikas.

Force Flash To Open File Download Box In Front Of The Flash Movie
Folks,
I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people pops the dvd disc in.
I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the flash to open as a full-screen mode.
Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in front of the flash movie?

I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.

Please help~~~

Flash Buttons That Navigate To Html Files In Same Folder As Flash Movie?
I'm completely new to Flash and AS3.......

however, i've managed to build a simple "intro" flash movie that has buttons on it that need to navigate to non-flash, DWCS3 based site files.

when i go into the button in flash, if i select text in the button there is a spot in the properties panel that allows for a URL link...i enter the name of the html file but it doesn't work......but this URL property field is not available to the entire button....

so i started looking at AS because i'm pretty sure i need to use events and event listeners....BUT all of the tutorials only cover getting an external URL or linking to a frame within a flash movie......none of them cover linking to an existing HTML file in the same folder.......(ie., to access the meat of the website through the flash intro buttons....)

help?

the movie is at www.methods.com/msite07/site07_intro_more.html if you'd like to take a look....the animated buttons need the link functionality.......
