Flash :: Tracking "page" Loads Within My Flash MX Website?

Tracking "page" Loads Within My Flash MX Website?
I'm just getting into Flash and this may be a very basic question, but if somebody could tell me how to do this, that would be great.

Is there a way to track which "pages" (keyframes) a visitor to your site visits?

For instance, say I have www.abc.com, and there are buttons for 15 different "pages"/areas of the site the visitor can go to, and they all fall under www.abc.com (in other words, the URL doesn't change), how can I track where the person went?, and also, is there a way to clock how long they were on each "page"/area of the site?

Thanks for all of your help.

Website On CD : What To Do With Internal/external Flash Loads?
Hi,

I would like to burn a CD of my website, whose structure is more or less :
-a main swf/html file(opening full screen) which loads other swfs if itself
-this swf file also opens swfs in EXTERNAL windows (opened with restrictions on window size)

My main question is,
in what format should I burn this ? Is it advisable to export to .exe ? Would there be a problem opening pup-ups then ?
Otherwise, is it better in html/swfs ? I was trying to open pop-ups at my local folders, and there was a problem opening them(I was unable to see the content of my file, but it works right on the net)

Thanks for the help,

Manojo

Page 2 - Tracking User Interaction - Flash Menu
Hi, try this out:

Code:

Pos1MC.bar.onRelease = function() {
if (ui.profileMC == undefined) {
xTargetPos1MC = Pos1Out;
Pos1MC.yTargetTitle = TitleDwn;
var amc = ui.Pos1MC.createEmptyMovieClip("profileMC", 1);
amc.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
amc.createTextField("msg_txt", 2, 10, 200, 200, 50);
amc._x = -530;
amc._y = -197;
amc.holder.loadMovie("profile.swf");
amc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.holder.getBytesLoaded()>=this.holder.getBytesTotal()) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
// get rid of the loading progress textfield
this.msg_txt.removeTextField();
} else {
// show how many bytes have been loaded
this.msg_txt.text = this.holder.getBytesLoaded()+" loaded";
}
};
} else if (this._x>=pos1In+1) {
// if already created and loaded, just set it visible
Pos1MC.bar.onRollOver = function() {
ui.xTargetPos1MC = pos1In;
ui.Pos1MC.yTargetTitle = Title1Up;
ui.profileMC._visible = false;
};
} else {
Pos1MC.bar.onRollOver = function() {
ui.xTargetPos1MC = pos1Out;
ui.Pos1MC.yTargetTitle = TitleIn;
ui.profileMC._visible = true;
};
}
};

When your coding within flash you can use the syntax checker. It's the little blue tick next to the format button, just above the code editor window. That pops up a window telling you what line the problem is on. Anyway the above is error free although it's hard to tell if the way I've worked it is how you want it!...

Lauri : have you tried contacting the forum admin? They might of stumbled on your problem before and may know a solution...

Flash Page Stalls Before It Loads
I have a site, html://www.nicolephoto.com, of which I have used the Flash Deployment Kit to create a index that either directs the user to the Flash Page (index2.html, if they have the Flash 6.0 player installed) or to a page telling them to go and get flash player. Ok, that works fine, but when I goto www.nicolephoto.com/index2.html it lags before anything loads, I do have a preloader on the movie, and some other things besides the movie, but they do not apear until the movie apears. Any idea's? Could you guys go and check and see if it is possibly just my terminal, Thanks for any help.

Please be patient with the load on the page, it takes a while ...

Flash Outros Before Next Page Loads ? ? ?
Hey everyone I have a question that I hope I can explain properly. I am fairly new to flash so the simplest answer would be much appreciated. Heres the deal:

When I build Flash sites I make a main page that has an empty interface with buttons. I assign actions to the buttons to load the movies into the interface. I am having no problems doing that but I dont want all my flash pages to only have an introduction to each page. How would I have a movie load on the HOME page for example and hold until the viewer clicks any of the other buttons. Then HOME page plays an outro then the next page selected loads.

If the above is confusing you: say the HOME page fades in when it loads. The user clicks the ABOUT button I want the HOME page to fade out and the ABOUT page fade in. When the viewer clicks CONTACT the ABOUT page fades out and the CONTACT page fades in.

Thanx for your help...I can post an example if this makes no sense whatsoever...

Loading Flash After Page Loads
I've been working on this problem for a few days and I can't find any information. What I’m trying to do is load a .swf file after the rest of my page has loaded.

for example, I have been trying to place a general placeholder into a web page (either a small image or small flash file of the same proportions) then, once the page has loaded, my flash movie will begin to load (this would be indicated by a progress bar).

The reason I’m doing this is to be modem friendly on my site. I’ve tried using several different types of javascript to write the code for the .swf file after the page has loaded (using the onload and other commands) but that will not work. I’m hoping there is a way to do this in flash.

any ideas?

QUICK SUMMARY: I want to create a small flash move that will load another flash movie when the web page has completely loaded.

Page Freezes Until Flash Movie Loads
Hey,

I have made a Flash image gallery that is working just fine. I'm preloading the thumbnails and loading the main images only when these are clicked for display, in order to save load time. The problem comes when the user configures say 100 images to be shown in the gallery. In this case the page containing the gallery freezes until all the thumbnails are loaded.

My question would be: is there any solution to load the rest of the page first? Or load everything in paralel assigning the page content a higher priority?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

HTML Page Opens Flash Site, Loads External Swf File
Ok, this is probably the weirdest question, and I have searched, but can't really find what I'm looking for...

I have an HTML page with buttons.
Each button needs to have a getURL to open the Flash site, but then somehow, needs to also load the appropriate swf into that Flash site...

My reasoning is because I have some scripts under my site that need to be in HTML (or PHP) for search engines, that way I don't have to do the whole site in HTML.. I hate having a HTML index page, but it's the only solution I could come up with. So, when a visitor selects any of the navigation buttons, I don't want them to have to select that button again, when the Flash site loads.

Anyone know how to do this for Flash 7 / AS 2.0? Or if there are any posts here about it?

thanx flashers!!!

Loads Right In The File, Not On Website
I have a list of games in a php file. I got everything working and when I run the file from my computer, everything loads. But when I uploaded it to my site, it won't display the list. It loads the file from a website so I know its not that, and I didn't put on any domain restricting script yet. I don't know for sure if it's just not loading the file (which i can't see why it wouldn't)or what. Has anyone had this problem before and managed to fix it somehow?

Basically I want to create a Flash banner and somewhere along the "movie" have it launch MY web page and have it load in the background, behind the browser that holds the banner.

Image Loads Locally But Not On Website?
I have constructed a slide show viewer for use on a website. The swf loads jpeg images which are contained in the same directory. This works well on my local machine but when uploaded to a website and called up by an html file, the swf runs and shows the correct backgrounds but fails to load any jpegs. I assume that the problem is to do with the transfer of the variable 'Select_picture" into the loadMovie statement?
The following loop (step variable = pic_no) works locally but not on website:-

>>var Select_picture:String="Pic"+pic_no+".jpg";
>>var Select_mc:String="mc"+pic_no;
>>
>>this.createEmptyMovieClip([Select_mc], depthnow++);
>>loadMovie([Select_picture], [Select_mc]);

In order to prove that a picture could be loaded on the website, I simplied the code to :
>>loadMovie("pic1.jpg",[Select_mc]);

and this worked.

So, I tried to transfer the same string directly via the variable;-

>>var Select_picture:String="Pic1.jpg";
>>
>>loadMovie([Select_picture], [Select_mc]);

But this does not work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Dave

Page-Visitor Tracking Inside SWF?

I was wondering if there exist any well working methods to track pages/areas inside a SWF file and then use some service like Google Analytics or Clicky with it to see what the site visitors watched inside the SWF file?

I've tried loading in empty html files with LoadVars on a per-pager basis but this seems not to work. The pages don't appear on the statistics.

Are there any other solutions for this age-old Flash-problem available by now?

VERY ODD -- MX 2004 Bug, GetURL Only Loads DARPA Website
I use Firebird (Mozilla) as my primary web browser. I just bought MX 2004 with Flash Pro.

In a movie loaded in either Flash Player, or tested in the Flash editor (as in, Ctrl-Enter), then no matter what the getURL is supposed to go to, a new Firebird window pops up and opens two tabs. The first one stays blank, and the second one loads the DARPA website. (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)

What gives? This is hilarious, but also kind of disconcerting.

Flash Website Page Blinks When Published..
Hi!
I have created a basic website in FLASH cs3 with 4 images. I have 4 buttons, and each image is in a movie clip and triggered by a button. Every layer has only one frame. I have not extended the timeline out.
When I test movie, everything is fine...but when i actually publish and go to the site, the images blink for a second before the page actually settles in.
Its like I have the opacity for the images at 100 for one frame and then down to zero for the next frame.
In actually, the images should all be at zero opacity until triggered.
Please help if you all have any suggestions.
As I said, the timeline is all on frame one.
THanks so much...IM pulling my hair out!

Flash Website Html Page Problem
Hi,

How can I change it so that it still acsesses the html file, but without me having to type its extension in the address. I hope that explanation isn't to confusing. Please help

Help With Flash Website - Dynamic Page Indicator
Hello All,

This is my first time posting here. I am new Flash and actionscripting, but I just want to say hi and thanks in advance for any help you all can provide. That said, here is the problem.

I have a website, basic overview. I have my main movie, which contains the logo and navigation. I have a blank movieclip created with actionscript that loads the individual movie swf files. That works fine.

What I want to do, and which I can't figure out is dynamically have the main navigation buttons' text indicate what page you the user is on. Right now the code is on each button instance, example:

Code:

//work button Definition
on(press){
if(_root.pageHolder != "work") {
_root.pageHolder = "work";
_root.mcContainer.loadMovie(_root.pageHolder+".swf", this);
//_root.work.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.setCurrentMarker();//this the line that calls the function for setting the page indicator
}
}
on(rollOver){
if(this._currentframe == 1){
this.work.textColor =0x000000;
} else {
null;
}
}
on(rollOut){
if(this._currentframe == 1){
this.work.textColor =0x707070;
} else {
null;
}
}
I posted the whole code because I have another question. Each button has the same code, just pointing to their respective pages.

Here is the code in the first frame for setCurrentMarker()n function:

Code:

var aMenu = new Array(home, jschaer, work, contact);

function setCurrentMarker(){
for(i=0; i<= (_root.aMenu.length-1); i++){
if(_root.aMenu[i] == pageHolder){
_root.aMenu[i].gotoAndStop(2);
trace("called if true");
} else if(_root.aMenu[i] == _root.pageHolder){
_root.aMenu[i].gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
}
so the variable aMenu holds the moveclip names of the buttons. pageHolder holds the the name of the current page that is loaded. Thats how I change the pages to be loaded. To explain, if you look at the button code, the text for each button is by default greay and when you rollover it becomes black and off and it becomes gray again. That is on the first frame. On the second frame the text is black.

In the code I tried to make the black dynamically, but it didn't work, so I settled for going to the second frame and stopping.

I am sorry this is long, do you understand what I am trying to do? Do I need to explain less, and how do you get those little scroll boxes where you can put code.

My second question(much shorter I promise). I guess its preference, but is it generally good to put the code on each instance of a button or put in in the main frame where your code lies. Is there any benefit either way?

Sorry for the essay,
Brian

My Website Starting Page ( And Some Flash Problems )
My website atm
URL has some major problems for starters the starting page sucks it is crap , i was wondering if someone cld help me with this ,

the actual website itself is badly put together on the face it looks ok but this causes the filesize to be much greater than it actually needs to be , this is because instead of making the buttons and the edge one separate thing and for each page only the centre change , i simply made the whole thing reload , even though u cannot see this it adds about 20k a time which adds up , also in my scroller i dont have a clue how to do it properly so i simply made it so the scroller takes you to a frame which has the text one click down then this is repeated , so again adds more size for each pointless page , i was wondering if someone cld show me how to make it more efficient ( actually explain steps how to do it rather than say the problems cos i already know what they are ) , well i know how just not actually how to do it in flash mx

pls someone help me!

Tracking And Displaying Mouse Cursors From Multiple Users On One Page
Think a multiplayer game, except this is tracking multiple mouse cursor positions on the page.

www.doodlenow.com is an excellent example of something I want to accomplish.

When a user logs on to my page, I want his mouse position to be visible to every other user on the site, and I'm not expecting more than 5 people on the site at a time.

Anyways, does anyone have any tips or tutorials or just a push in the right direction of how to accomplish this, or can provide a simple demo of even tracking one other persons mouse position?

Also, will I need any special server technology to do this? I know php and mysql will be used to track the user names and such, but other than that, tracking the actual mouse positions and displaying them to other users.....

Any help out here?

I'd really appreciate it.

Best Way For Multiple Page Loads?
lol!
what i'm trying to ask is i have a website and one of the pages is a lyrics page. 80% of the page stays the same and only a new lyrics/scrolling page pops up depending on what title you click. there are about 15 lyric pages to choose from.

right now i have the title/invisable buttons calling for a swf file that loads up. would it be easier to have all of the lyrics on different frames with stop actions and when the title/invisable button is clicked it goes to that specific frame???

the more you dive into a project the more you want to tweak it to make it work better!

[MX] Page Loads Slow
Hello. I am a photographer and I bought a flash site template and created my site, but as soon as I added my own music to the site, it slowed it down. I am trying to figure out how to speed it up without sacrificing the music. I'm hoping there is some way to make each song load seperately while the page is already up. Someone had mentioned a 'pre-loader' but when I looked this up all I found was the 'loading %' and I already have one of those.

Steady Music Over Page Loads...
Hello,

I just finished the entire public area of my site with one small problem. The finishing touches were to be a music tuner in flash that one could choose several different loops from while browsing the site. While this is easy to do within frames - My site isn't in frames. It's html/php/flash hybrid - minimal on the flash (header and menus).

So...my question is - is there a way to have a .swf file play steady music through page loads? Or is there a trick to doing this? This is the ONLY thing I have left to do, so please, any help is greatly appreciated!
