Flash :: Video Smears In Flash While Moving Quickly

HitTest Not Registering If Moving Over A Clip Quickly
Hey everyone,

I have a flash menu embedded in an html page with a mainNav and a subNav. I have a timeout function that does a hitTest after a 10 frame delay that resets the subNav to the current section's subNav.

This works fine unless the user goes over one of the nav buttons really quickly, in which case the hitTest does not return a false, and the subNav does not reset.

Since the page is not all flash and the user moves off the swf quickly, the swf thinks the mouse is still over one of the nav buttons. Has anyone run across this problem and found a solution?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Best Practice For Streaming Video With Quickly (2-5 Sec) Changing Sources
Hi!
In my flex app I have a videodisplay, which should change its source every 2-5 seconds to an other clip (and or an other playhead time). Im trying to reduce the buffering times between the source changes, so that the resulting video plays without interceptions. To reduce the buffering times i've tried multiple video instances which preload its new source while an other instance is playing its clip.

Are there better ways for doing this? Could SMIL be a solution?

Thanks!

Loading Another .swf, Movie Smears Over Current
I've tried endlessly and for the life of me cannot figure this out.

Basically I have one flash movie:

http://www.glamourmodels.co.uk/spa/s...treatments.swf

The text "Hawaiian" is a link to the following page:

http://www.glamourmodels.co.uk/spa/h...ne-massage.swf

However, when I click hawaiian it all gets messed up, from what i can see it loads the new movie in but keeps the contents of the current movie. My question is, how can I load the new movie and CLEAR the contents of the current movie.

The button contains the following action script code:

on (release) {
load_link = "hawaiian-hot-mineral-stone-massage.swf";
loadMovieNum(load_link, 2);
stop();
}

Here are the 2 fla files:

Creating Flash Movies More Quickly
Hi-

I work for an e-learning company and we need to be able to make our courses more quickly to keep up with the competition. Typically these courses have numerous web pages that contain Flash. We need to be able to create Flash animations more quickly and synchronize narration with animation faster. We've looked at a lot of tools, and haven't been able to find something to help us in these ways. Do any of you know of such a tool or tools? Or if not a tool, a process to help us speed the development of our courses?

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks-

Quickly Deleting Indentified Element From A Flash Movie
Blessings and Peace:

I am not even a Flash newbie. I know practically
nothing about Flash. Yet, I have a Flash source
file that needs to have a couple of elements deleted.

Using a SWF decompiler, which neatly arranges elements
in appropriate folders (because I didn't know how to
identify the same using Flash), I've located the Image
and Text numbers as well as their Tag IDs.

Having done that, how do I use Flash to simply delete
these elements?

FLASH IN VISUAL BASIC EXPRESS HELP NEEDED QUICKLY
Hi Everyone,
I'm having some huge problems getting some simple things working. I need to embed a flash file in Visual Basic and have the two communicate, pretty much what is already being done in the Flash to Visual Basic example on this site. However, I cannot get this to work on my computer. I only have Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. I followed the example on this site exactly but no matter what I do, I keep getting errors. Would anyone be able to post some simple source files that work? I've been practically pulling my hair out for two days over this so any help would be majorly appreciated.
Thanks!

Moving To Next Scene After Streaming Video Plays
I have a streaming video that loads into a scene called "intro". I would like the second scene, "home" to load after the video finishes playing. Unfortunately, the movie stops once the video finishes playing. How can I get the second scene to load after the video finishes playing?

Below is the code that automatically plays the video:

stop();

videoConn = new NetConnection();
videoConn.connect(null);
videoStream = new NetStream(videoConn);
//the attachVideo() method of video class is invoked on the
//flv_video instance. The parameter for the attachVideo() method
//is the instance name of the NetStream object created in line 10
flv_video.attachVideo(videoStream);
// a buffer time is established to determine how many seconds
//of the stream must download before playback begins
videoStream.setBufferTime(5);
videoStream.play("capture_Small.flv");

Any help would be appreciated.

Rotating And Moving A Video Clip Using Keyboard
Hi

Im am trying to rotate a movie clip and then move it in the direction it is facing usign the keyboard (left, right = rotate. Up, down = forward and backwards)

I have almost done it using trigonometry but flash doesn't know what angle the movie clip is facing.

Here is the code i used:
on (keyPress "<Up>") {
Dist = 2
Angle =
currentY = this._y;
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX;
this._y = currentY;
this._x = currentX + Dist*math.cos(Angle);
this._y = currentY + Dist*math.sin(Angle);
}

As you can see i dont know what to put 'Angle' equal to.

Thankyou!!!!

How To Load A Swf Quickly?
I am somewhat of a newbie. I don't understand something about flash. How come some swfs I see load very quickly but are longer than some others that load slow? Does it have something to do with scenes, while one is playing the other is loading, or is it something else.

I need to do a flash presentation that loads in 10 seconds on a 28.8 dial up modem is there any general rules for quick loading swfs?

What Is The Best Way To Master Actionscript Quickly?
I am a new learner,expecting your guidance

Help Me Quickly, Please Deadline Down My Throat.
Made in Flash 5 and I use Flash Player 6. Hidden buttons that make up my interface (I know hidden buttons is such a good idea, but…). When you click on the button it causes a box to fade in while loading the content of it from a server. I don’t put the loaded content into the box that fades in, but it on level 15 of the player. On the computer I used to design the site, it loads the content from disk and all is well. And when I connect to the internet it loads the content too. Problem is, when my client connects to the internet the content I want is not loaded.
I even downloaded Flash Player 6 for her –the client- but no results.
It becomes more complicated. Some of the buttons work and others don’t and I use the same code for all the buttons.
Is there a problem with my naming conventions? Could an underscore have an adverse effect?

Please have a look at the page find the hidden buttons and tell me it loads the content when you click. The url: http://www.epupa.com.na/village.htm

Code used on each button. All loaded content is in the same folder as the village page.
on (rollOver) {
mt._visible=true;
}
on (rollOut) {
mt._visible=false;
}
on (release) {
_root.hp.gotoAndStop(8); //causes the box to fade in
_root.moviebox.gotoAndPlay(2); //closing some other things
loadMovieNum ("milking_ol.swf", 15); //the exact spelling, all lower case names
}

I owe you my life if you can help me!!!!!

Reverse A Movie.. Quickly?

User Clicking Too Quickly.
I have a presentation that is CD based and is a slide show with audio attached. This presentation has a controller attached to it that can control play back, play and pause the sound and control volume. The slides are jpgs that are loaded dynamically and the audio is mp3's that are also loaded dynamically. The main movie is level 0 with another movie that has the slides and audio holders loaded on level 1. In addition, there is a tool tips layer on level 2.

When the movie on level 1 enters a frame, it gets this code:

Code:
var now = getProperty(_root, _currentframe); // set now to current frame number
_level0.slideDisplay(now); // pass now to routine in main movie
Then in level 0, this is slideDisplay:

Code:
// --slideDisplay function prototype
// this function is used in the display movies
// to change the slide display and play the proper
// sound according to what frame we are in. The
// sounds and slides ar loaded dynamically as you
// will see in the code below.

function slideDisplay(frame) {

if (frame < 10) {
_global.dynSound = "resources/sounds/" + _global.whatPresenter + "/0" + frame + _global.whatPresenter + ".mp3";
_global.dynSlide = "resources/slides/" + _global.whatPresenter + "/0" + frame + _global.whatPresenter + "Disp.jpg";
}else{
_global.dynSound = "resources/sounds/" + _global.whatPresenter + "/" + frame + _global.whatPresenter + ".mp3";
_global.dynSlide = "resources/slides/" + _global.whatPresenter + "/" + frame + _global.whatPresenter + "Disp.jpg";
}

_level1.viewWindow.slideHolder.loadMovie(dynSlide);
_level1.viewWindow.infoPane.setScrollContent(_global.whatPresenter + "ViewInfo");

_level0.soundFunction();

s.onSoundComplete = function() { _level1.nextFrame(); }; // when sound is done playing, go to next frame

// update counter in controller
_level1.viewWindow.counter = "Slide " + frame + " of " + _global.counterTotal;

_level1.stop();
}

function soundFunction() {

// play until sound ends then go to next frame

if ( _global.playing == true ) { // keeping play/pause state consistent between frames
s = new Sound(this);
s.loadSound(_global.dynSound, true);
s.attachSound(_global.dynSound);
s.setVolume(_global.volVar); // keeping the volume consistent between frames
s.start(_global.myMusicPosition);
_global.playing = true; // used for the play/pause buttons
} else {
s = new Sound(this);
s.loadSound(_global.dynSound, true);
s.attachSound(_global.dynSound);
s.setVolume(_global.volVar); // keeping the volume consistent between frames
s.stop();
_global.myMusicPosition = 0;
_global.playing = false; // used for the play/pause buttons
}
}

Here is the problem, if the the user clicks on the "next" button repeatedly and too quickly, Flash seems to skip over the soundFunction routine. This only seems to happen on Windows platforms (95 and up) and is not the stuttering sound bug that was in Flashplayer 6 pre version 65. On the Macintosh, the frame will pause until the sound is loaded rather than skip the sound function.

I dropped a trace action into the soundFunction routine to make sure that the routine is being handled and it is. It seems that just the sound is not loading when it is supposed to.

Has anyone else come across this and does anyone know a fix?

Thanks

RollOver & RollOut Too Quickly
This has me puzzled:

code: thumbHolder.onRollOver = function() {
trace("rollover");
tempx = this._x;
tempy = this._y;
if (thumbAlign == "horizontal"){
_root.hoverme._x = Number (tempx) + 215;
}
if (thumbAlign == "vertical"){
_root.hoverme._y = Number (tempy) + 21;
}
_root.hoverme.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

thumbHolder.onRollOut = function() {
trace("rollout");
_root.hoverme.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Seems straight-forward enough and it does work, but as each thumbHolder is very close in proximity, the onRollover doesn't send _root.hoverme to frame 2 if you move from the cursor from one thumbHolder button to the next, too quickly (though the trace shows that the actual rollOver and rollOut DO activate).

Oddly enough, if I remove the RollOut completely, it works fine (but then I have no way of sending _root.hoverme to frame 1 when no thumbHolder is being 'rolled out', as there is no rollOut then).

Never come across this before ... anyone found a cure for this?

Allow Domain? [help Quickly Would Be Nice ;)]

But Need To Build A Site Quickly
Hi folks,

I need to build a flash website rather soon!

I have dreamweaver MX 2004 and Flash MX 2004.

I want to have one of those 'loading' screens when users first click on the site.
I'm not sure how to do those. (I am a complete beginner, and I've just bought 'Flash MX for Dummies'!!
After the loader screen, I want to creata a simple site to advertise the charter company.

I don't know the first things about building a flash site.
Does the whole site get built in flash?
or do I create the index.html page in dreamweaver and just include the flash components that I create?
I've downloaded verious fx and buttons etc - so I was also wondering if these can be layered over other flash components?

so many questions, i'm sorry.

Buffering Message End Up Too Quickly
So right now i got two problems:

One concerns the Buffering clip which is ending too quick like 2 seconds and then... it's gone despite the fact i set the buffering time to 50 seconds(..just a test) but it disapear this drives me crazy.
Plus it doesn't show up too if the buffer's player has the get "stuffed" again :/

SECONDLY, i got a problem with the context menu.It seems I am unable to get a sucessful release with the REPLAY or PAUSE/PLAY actions.

I double checked the code,I followed the steps required to get the things done correctly(well im quite sure of that),...I don't see what's wrong really,any help is welcome.

My A.S code is as follows(well nearly all except for the buttons & a bit of the volume) :

var netConn:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConn.connect(null);

var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConn);

ns.onStatus = function(info) {
if(info.code =="NetStream.Buffer.Full") {

ns.seek(0);
}
if((info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") || (ns.bufferLength <= ns.bufferTime)) {
bufferClip._visible = true;
}
}

ma_video.attachVideo(netStream);

netStream.setBufferTime(45);
netStream.play("http://host.myvideo.flv");

netStream.onStatus = function(info) {
if (info.code == "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound") {

}
};

var videoInterval = setInterval(videoStatus,100);
var amountLoaded:Number;

function videoStatus() {
amountLoaded = netStream.bytesLoaded / netStream.bytesTotal;

}

piste_pan.attachAudio(netStream);
var DmcSound = new Sound("piste_pan");

var theMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

Help Buttons Stick When Rolled Over Quickly
I have a very strange problem. I have some Navigation buttons in a website, that when rolled over, change, then reverse when rolled off. The problem is, if the user moves the mouse very quickly over top of one of the buttons, and then moves out of the flash area, the button 'sticks' in it's 'onmouseover' state and doesn't reverse. This only happens when a user moves 'very quickly' over the button and back out of the flash area. I've attached my flash file. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Convert Swishmax Banner To Fla? Can Pay Quickly.
Hello, I'm ready to pay someone as soon as possible to do this easy job, or if someone just likes to help, then I sure need it

This banner ad was created in SWISHmax.

The vendor however, is requiring an FLA file with the following invisible button script. I am looking for someone to recreate this in Macromedia Flash format with the Ad Tag as described in the specs below. The vendor wants the FLA file to ensure the tag was entered properly. I'm sure the tag is easy...I can probably do it, but the problem is I don't have enough time to learn the effects in flash, when I've been using swish for flash banners thus far.

Can anyone please help?

Dynamic JPeg Creation - How Is This Guy Doing It So Quickly?
Hi everyone,

I've built a little online Flash application where I want to save a portion of the SWF file to the server as a jpeg when the user clicks a button.

I approached it by using BitmapData to record the RBG values of every pixel in my movie (600 x 400 = 240000 pixels). This means I end up with an array of 400 pretty big strings (one for each row) to send to my ASP page that creates the image (the ASP page works fine by the way).

Basically, I'm completely stuck now because it takes so long to send the data that the application is unusable and the bandwidth on my server will be through the roof.

I found an example of a different application that uses the same principle. The creation of the jpeg from his Flash interface seems absolutely instant, and the e-mail arrives very quickly:

http://demo.tufat.com/flashcard/stateless/

He surely can't be sending all the data, pixel by pixel, as I am doing, as it only take a second or two for his application to process this stage, so my question is: am I missing something? Is there some really simple way of creating a jpeg from an swf file using actionscript that I don't know about, or is there a way of compressing the data so much that it is much quicker, or is there a 3rd party plugin which allows jpegs to be dynamically created and sent to an ASP/PHP page?

I am completely stuck on this so any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Preloader Advancing To Frame To Quickly
I have 5 scenes in my fla so far. When I load my preloader the dynamic text shows the percentage and when it gets to about 60% (which is when the home scene is finished loading) it advances to the home page while still loading the following scenes. I need to figure out how to get it to load all scenes before advancing to my home page. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Quickly And Repeatedly Clicking A Button
I want to set a button up so it is activated and it's function runs completely before it can be activated again. I have tried a ton of things, but I can't get it to survive multiple clicks. The swf does everything great so long as I click slowly but kids are going to use this and they will be clicking like crazy. I need a very basic example of how to set up and event listener and it's associated function such that the FLV player associated with it can change it's source and be ready to play the new source file before the source can be changed again by the next button click or better still only one button click is allowed until everything is ready to play and any other button clicks are disreguarded.
