Task Manager

System.TotalMemory Different With Windows Task Manager
System.TotalMemory and the memory amount displayedin the windows task manager is different. Which is more reliable?

I saw from some blog that System.totalMemory is more reliable than windows task manager.

But I cannot confirm, any ideas?
Thanks!

Does Transition Manager Cancel The Tween Manager Effects ?
because as soon as I try to combine both transitions, one doesn't work
Example : onRollOver, a movie clip is supposed to fade in with pixel dissolve effect and of course onRollOut to "Yoyo".As far as I can go, only the fading goes on but the pixeldissolve effect does not work.
Can you help me or it is simply not possible.
Thank you .

How To Tell A MC To Do One Task Then Start Another?
Is it possible to put an action on a button that tells a movie clip to complete one task then move onto another? Like do this then do this. I'm not too experienced with actionscript. Does anyone know if its possible to do this?

Task Scheduler
Hi, I`d like to make a task scheduler, that trigger certain events, perhaps "get url" or start an mp3 player/playlist, on a specific, date, time, week etc. What i want to make, is a "radio", a computer that plays mp3 files from a playlist (500 songs). It should also play 4-8 commercial spots pr. hour. These spots could mute the music from the playlist, play, and restore the volume level of the playlist.

Ive tried the task scheduler in Win, but its very hard to find a dynamic way to schedule tasks, one that can perhaps ovveride certain tasks, that can disable all at once etc.

Let's say a store has a pc that plays mp3`s, plays it over the stores soundsyste through the pc`s soundcard, id like to make a flashbased application that can handle the schedules of the commercial spots within the playlist, in different intervals and time schedules. The playlist will play everyday (besides sunday), the spots will somethimes differ from day to day, and id like the ability to program ahead tasks for the weekend, hollidays etc.

Like i said, 4-8 spots an hour, somethines just one spot played 2 times from 14:00 to 15:00 etc. Has any1 been doing similar things in flash, or know anywhere I can find a tutorial for this kind of application ?

By the way, thanx for a great forum, ure the best.

[F8] Little Task, Edit My Fla Please
Simple problem if you're not crap at actionscript like me!
Problem: I want my flash mp3 player to display a picture when a track is selected. Eg you click the track form the playlist and the relvant picture shows up!

Here is the mp3 player I have been editing and skinning, and Here is an mp3 player that was kindly created for me to illustrate how to have changing pictures.

All i need doing is for someone to edit the player that doesnt have changing images, to have them, by using the already created code!

Here is a .rar containing all the files, the xml's, and fla's you need. I have already created the extra nodes within the xml's so all that needs changing is the playlists actionscript. PLEASE can somebody help me out here, I would be increidbly greatuful, I have tried it myself but I just cant seem to get it to work. Thank you so much in advance! Let me know if you're going to give it a go.

Stupid <a> Task
Salut,
I've put a simple animation in a HTML page.
I want this anim to be clickable and send user to an other html page.
Since there's no more <object> and <embed> stuff but "AC_RunActiveContent" JSFunction, I could no longer wrap my anim with an <a> tag, it simply doesn't work. So I've set a transparent button above all in flash who says :

Code:
function fn(event:MouseEvent):void {
var pageRealisation:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com")
navigateToURL(pageRealisation, "_parent");
}
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fn);
But Firefox think its a popup and block it, and Safari creates a NEW window to open it ! Is there any HTML (JS) way to set a link ?

thxxx, Sylvain.

Is Flash Right For This Task?
Hi,
I'm new to Flash, just downloaded the Flash 8 Pro trial version today.

I have a 10 min 15fps swf file produced with Camtasia Studio 3.1.2. Unfortunately, they have a bug in that version that produces an swf that always loops and never stops. I cannot rely on controller or script overides to solve this, I must make the standalone swf stop looping.

I made a new Flash swf doc project, imported the swf to stage, went to last frame, added a stop command, and published as swf only. The resulting swf does stop, but looks bad as if it has a different resolution. Also, one of my test swfs only loaded partially. I changed to doc setting to "content" to get the resolution right, but still looks off. I have yet to try the problem file which has audio and a picture in picture segment. It is quite possible that the poor look is due to me not knowing what I am doing.

My question is this: Is there a better tool for this problem? It seems Flash remakes and changes a lot about the swf and all I want to do is slip in a stop command. I feel the tool is very capable, just overkill for this. I just want an swf editor that reads in an swf and allows minor alteration to the basic control commands.

thanks for any ideas,

How To Automate This Task...
hey guys, gotta question...

ok so im using xml as my data for the text on my website... and i want it to display a list(menu) and hold some other data related to that item...

heres what i got.


Code:
//create all the variables for the XML file
var i:Number;
var nodes:Array = new Array();
var clients:Array = new Array();
var job:Array = new Array();
var skills:Array = new Array();
var url:Array = new Array();
var comments:Array = new Array();

//setup the XML connection
var pXML:XML = new XML();
pXML.ignoreWhite = true;
pXML.onLoad = process;
pXML.load("ptahdunbar.xml");

//Parsing the XML doc
function process(){
trace("function process() { compute! }");
// use the "nodes" array to refer to the xml childNodes
nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i=0; i<nodes.length; i++){
//loop through "nodes" and pulls the attribute to their correct array
clients.push(nodes[i].attributes.client);
job.push(nodes[i].attributes.job);
skills.push(nodes[i].attributes.skills);
url.push(nodes[i].attributes.url);
comments.push(nodes[i].attributes.comments);

// Checks to make sure its in there....
trace(clients[i]);
trace(job[i]);
trace(skills[i]);
trace(url[i]);
trace(comments[i]);

// populates the list with their text there are 14 total buttons
// Does not Work??? b[i].but_mc.but.text = nodes[i].attributes.client

b1.but_mc.but.text = nodes[0].attributes.client
b2.but_mc.but.text = nodes[1].attributes.client
b3.but_mc.but.text = nodes[2].attributes.client
b4.but_mc.but.text = nodes[3].attributes.client
b5.but_mc.but.text = nodes[4].attributes.client
b6.but_mc.but.text = nodes[5].attributes.client
b7.but_mc.but.text = nodes[6].attributes.client
b8.but_mc.but.text = nodes[7].attributes.client
b9.but_mc.but.text = nodes[8].attributes.client
b10.but_mc.but.text = nodes[9].attributes.client
b11.but_mc.but.text = nodes[10].attributes.client
b12.but_mc.but.text = nodes[11].attributes.client
b13.but_mc.but.text = nodes[12].attributes.client
b14.but_mc.but.text = nodes[13].attributes.client
}
}

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<ptahdunbar>
<project client="Maria Dunbar" job="Website/Identity" comments="maria's website." url="http://www.mariadunbar.com" skills="Flash, HTML" />
<project client="Ase Dunbar" job="Website/Identity" comments="ase's website." url="http://www.asedunbar.com" skills="Flash, HTML" />

<project client="Website Name" job="Website/Identity" comments="Comments for this site" url="http://www.yourwebsite.com" skills="Skills" />
</ptahdunbar>

ok the list loads and displays the client attribute which is correct.
i also have a dymanic text box on the stage so when you click on one of them list items, it changes to that value... I've tried the
"dText.text = b[i].but_mc.but.text" but that won't work

I also wanted to figure out if I could make the process shoter when i load in the list items.. i.e. "b1.but_mc.but.text = nodes[0].attributes.client"

is their a better way to do that? using the [i]? i've tried the normal way but that didnt work. also the instances start with b1, b2, b3... should i make it start with 0?

If anyone has ANY idea on how i could work this out, I'd appreicate it.

Help With A Simple Task
Hi, I'm quite new to AS so this is actually quite simple but is something I've yet to figure out.

My flash movie comprises of several sections, and all these can be accessed from the main menu. Right now, what I'm doing is to preload all the sections at once before starting the clip. However, as more sections are added on, I found that it takes longer and longer to preload. Therefore, I wish to preload just the main menu first. Only after the user selects the section he wanted to enter will that section be loaded. I understand this is what a lot of websites are doing now but I'm still trying to understand the mechanics...greatly appreciated for any help rendered!

Task Bar Object
Hey, I'm looking to make some sort of task bar. I want it to just be a plan black 20 pixel high bar spanning across the whole document. I want to have it be separated, but not visibly, into three buttons. I want it to slide up from nowhere out of the bottom of the document after a series of animations and stay until the user clicks one of the buttons and then I want it to smoothly slide down out of sight. Then, when the user mouses into a certain area, I want it to come back up. I'm not sure what to do, but I think that it would involve 3 symbols (buttons) placed inside a movie clip or something and then a little bit of actionscript. I haven't been able to figure the actionscript out yet though. I'm a bit of a newbie at that Help would be much appreciated.

Anyone Help On This Simple Task?
PHP Code:



buttons = ["b1", "b2", "b3", "b4", "b5", "b6"]

buttons[0].onRollOver = over;
buttons[0].onRollOut = out;

function over() {
    this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
function out() {
    this.gotoAndPlay(7);
} 





If I wanted an array surely this would work, as it outputs b1 fine with a trace, but how come the button does not seem to pick it up?

Any ideas

Variables For Task

I set up a conatiner MC on the main stage.
This container will call in a external .swf which will be a .jpg.

Do i make sense?

Thank you in advance.

Pretty Difficult Task, I Think?
I hope someone out there is bright enough to answer this question. Here it goes:

I have my flash movie that is getting a variable from a PHP script. The variable name is "1" and its value is equal to "yes". How could I make it so that if my flash movie receives a variable with the value of "yes" a check box form component will be visible in my flash movie. If my flash movie doesn't receive a variable with the value of "yes" the check box form component does not appear. What would be the actionscript code to make the above happen? If anyone can answer this you are indeed a Flash Master!

Thanks for your help!

Obviously The Impossible Task For Flash
Ive been reading everywhere and soooo many people have the same problem as me and this is what all of us want to do:

'have an input box. when you click a button you want it to write the input to a text file (nothing fancy just write the text on a single line).

Then you want a dynamic text box on load to import the text from the text file.'

Why is this such a massive drama to work..

Why cant it be on press, save this input text to mytext.txt.
Then simply on load set this dynamic text box variable = variable in mytext document!!

PLEASE! can someone answer this question for me(us)!!!

Here's A Task. Think You Can Handle It? Click Here
You know that game where you take a ball, perferably a tennis ball, and you just throw it against the wall and it bounces back to you?
can YOU do that in flash? 'cause I don't know how to.
This game needs to show the game from 1st person not from above, and the harder I release the mouse the faster it will come back.

Scheduling A Task In Flash
Hi All,

I'm currently developing an application with Flash MX and ASP. I want the system database to be queried every 3hours to show the latest updates to the front-end. Can Flash MX and Remoting handle this server-initiated query or do I need to configure the ASP to do the job. I was wondering if ASP can handle the queriying job, but apparently I dont know how to do it either way, If there a work around, how do I configure Flash MX or ASP to do this periodic query?

Thanks, Butch

Explorer Task Bars

Easy Task I Cannot Solve
I am sure this is easy and I have tried three different ways and none of them work the way I want (third ways does not work at all).

I am trying to have a line go up and a line go left marking where the mouse was clicked (think of highlighting a row and column joining the cell where they meet). I can get the two lines to come on the screen, but then I cannot get them to disappear. Or, if I get them to disappear I cannot get them to come on a second time.

Here are my three attempts, please tell me what I am doing wrong.

1 - Lines appear many times as expected, but cannot get rid of them:
createEmptyMovieClip("myClip",1000);
myClip.lineStyle(25,0x000000,25);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, 0);
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(0, _ymouse);};
onMouseUp=function(){
}

2 - Lines appear one time only and disappear:
createEmptyMovieClip("myClip",1000);
myClip.lineStyle(25,0xFFFF00,25);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, 0);
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(0, _ymouse);};
onMouseUp=function(){
removeMovieClip("myClip");
}

3 - Nothing happens:
var newt
var mc
newt=1
mc = "myClip" + newt
createEmptyMovieClip(eval(mc),1000);
eval(mc).lineStyle(25,0xFFFF00,25);
onMouseDown = function () {
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(_xmouse, 0);
myClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
myClip.lineTo(0, _ymouse);
};
onMouseUp=function(){
removeMovieClip(eval(mc));
newt=newt+1
}

Help With Advanced Video Task.
Hi there. I am attempting to create an application that will show a 3 dimensional Ballerina spinning at varying speeds as she moves her arms. I have created a single video clip, of 13 animations that I now wish to move between my means of a simple interface (such as a slider bar, or bookmarks).

However, i am having trouble finding a way to navigate smoothly to cue points... Ideally, I would like to be able to create some code that calculates the % progress between cuepoints, so that the display can show my Ballerina, facing the same direction, but now in a slightly different pose but rotating at the new speed (already defined in the flv file).

I'm a first time user, so any helpful tutorials would be greatly appreciated, but equally don't shy away from complex code or terminology... Basically, any help would be appreciated!

MyFlashApp As Program In Task Bar.... (help)
Hey there..
I recently came up with what i think is a good idea for an little project.
The problem with it is that i need theuser to have a constantly running version of my .swf, now personally i wouldent like having a websites window up at all times so i was wondering if its possible to do something like this..

Were you download and install an app that automatically starts when you pc does (or whenever the user starts it..... for that matter(basically place it in autostart folder))
And then ads itself to the systembar ( whatever that thing in the lower right conrer is called), if you click on it it shows up a box like that(my image) that just contains a webpage, and if you click on minimize it dissapears and runs invisible (atleast not as a window on your desktop)...

Now, Any ideas???
Thanks

Probably A Dead Simple Task...
Hi, im trying to create a scroll bar that contains button thumbnails within it, that when clicked open up a movie clip in the layer above in the same swf. im pretty sure its not hard to create, however i am having trouble trying to get my code to find a specific movie clip and then stop and play it. The user will then be able to click another button and move on to the next image of their choice.

if you take a look at my 'navigation' example click the link, you'll see what i mean. So far iv had to make my thumbnail load up an external swf on top of that swf, this s not very practical for me! i really want all the loaded content to be within the same file.

http://www.fault151.com/storagefiles/navigation.zip


please help me if you can! i really need to get this sorted asap.

it would be even better if you could provide a working example for my to study. Use my example provided.



Thanks for your help!!!!!

Simple Flash Task That I Used To Know How To Do....
Hello All:

I used to know how to do this in flash but it has been a while and need a refresher.

At this link http://www.nebsinc.us/ under the portfolio link, I created some menu links to drop down next to the portfolio.

However, the url is only linking on the actual letters on the menu and not the whole word.

I know I needed to add a button but when I put it in front of the menu items the link then does not work.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

PHP Flash And What Seems To Be An Easy Task
Ok, i have been trying to display just some very simple data from a PHP page. The page is here "PHP page i want to display in flash"

And the flash page that i want it to display in is in that same directory flash display php (disregard the comment about idiot, it is addressed to myself)

My question is, how would i do that? I have attempted about 3 tutorials and no luck so i'd like to start from scratch. Each of the tutorial had very lite code so i think that it is not that hard i just have no grasp yet. Basically, there is a php script that is called "showlister" and it lists bands show dates. A great script but, i would like to display these dates and other info in flash.

As you can see on the php page i have used the "urlencode"
// echo "msg=" . urlencode($the_venue); //
because the last tutorial i took which was THIS ONE that i had no luck with. And i have been to the thread that refers to that tutorial and there is no help there.

Thanks in advanced for you help!

Major Task To Complete, And I Am Clueless
I am trying to build a flash application that will record the information a user chooses (from clicking buttons) and then have that information sent to me in an email.

I would need a way for the user to login first. Then have flash make a record of the buttons they pressed. Then when the user presses a "done" button, it will send that information to me via e-mail.

Here is exactly what I am trying to build: I am trying to make a page that my family and friends can go to on the internet to make NFL Football picks. They would sign in, and then select the teams (by clicking the team logo) who they think will win each game. Then I need flash to send me that information via email. Is there a way to build such a thing in flash?

Could anyone help me get on the right track or does anyone have any advice?

Simple Task With Strange Limits
What I need to have happen is basically, when your mouse is on the stage, a square must be following it, and when outside the stage, ther must be a circle. Here is the catch: the circle and square must replace, like one mc deleted, one added, eachother each time your mouse crosses into or off the stage.

Attatched is what I have, file format MX 2004. Right now, it will switch to a square, but not back to a circle.

How Can I Place Addition Task For One Button?
Hi
In my movie there is a button that does two actions for me : load and unload external movie :


ActionScript Code:
button.onPress = function()
{
if(_root.someFlagName == true)
{
_root.someFlagName = false;
unloadMovie(555);
}
else
{
loadMovie("tiket.swf",555);
_root.someFlagName = true;
}
};

This is my final interested idea :
when I press button to load external movie , before
loading external movie I would one message appear
on screen for 3 seconds that say something like :
Please wait ....
Also I like insert above message into a new movie clip
symbol that is named something like "wait" , not directly
into main scene or in old actionscript (waiting message into adctionscript) .

I used all of my little flash knowledge but it doesn`t work correctly !
please give me a sample .

Thanks

So I am modifying a video player that has 4 tabs for different video categories.

I need the script to go to a specific tab and movie using an variable on a URL. I am using externalinterface. Getting the URL etc works fine but getting the function to work does not.

This is the AS on a tab button.

on(release) {
bg.gotoAndStop(2);
_parent.two_mc.bg.gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.three_mc.bg.gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.one_mc.bg.gotoAndStop(1);
_parent.loadnewxml("gal4.xml");
}



Essentially I am taking the code from this tab and creating a function using an IF statement.

The problems are that the XML is getting loaded over and over.. also the tabs do not work then. The one tab will be lit, but when you can click on the others and it will load the xml, but wont change the tab background.

please help..
