Autostart CD ROM
HI,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I've created a flash movie which I want to burn onto a cd rom. I've saved the projector file and everything, but I want it to start automatically when you insert the cd, is there a FS command or some actionscript to do this? It's for use on a mac and I am using a mac.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Autostart Help
Hello all. I've been trying to learn more about sound and flash lately and have an existing mp3 player that I need help with.
I've built my own simple mp3 player so far, but this one is a bit more complicated and I'm stuck on one thing...
What needs to be added/changed so that this player will not autostart?
I have tried changing this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,true) to this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,false) but it still autostarts.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flash and I've tried searching on this topic for something that will answer my questions for this particular player, but no luck.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Source code is below.
Thanks,
Opusmx

Mac Autostart With Application
hi there,
my problem is to create an autorun for a cd-rom which
starts a html file with a browser.
autorun itself is working fine, unless u use os X. I think
they just skipped it, so it will work only on os 9 or earlier.
well, if i e.g. create a html file with dreamweaver, autrun will
open the html file NOT in a browser BUT in dreamweaver.
the windows autorun for the same thing works fine, if u use stuff
like runfile.exe in addition.
so does any1 have a clue, how to solve this or if there's a similar
utility for mac??
as usual every help appreciated

Loadmovie Must NOT Autostart. How To Do This?
Hello :-)
Maybe one of u knows the answer to this problem.
I have a swf, lets name it swf1. In swf1 a movieclip is playing. During the playing of swf1(the user is watching the movie) I load a second swf (lets name it swf2) with the ‘loadmovie’ action. I only want to do this because on the next page of my website swf2 is needed. So by ‘preloading’ it, it’s already in the browsers cache and the user doesn’t have to wait for swf2 to download when he surfs on. Now the problem. Swf2 is a movie clip with video and sound. When swf1 is playing and swf2 is fully loaded, swf2 begins playing to. I know this is the normal behaviour of AS and the loadmovie command. The result is that swf1 and swf2 are playing over each other. That’s not what I want.
1. Is it possible to give a loadmovie command the option NOT to start playing when it is loaded? When yes, how to do this?
2. If 1 is not possible, can i mute the sound of a loaded movie?
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible, are there other ways to ‘preload’ swf’s in the background (without playing them) for later use on the website?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greetings, Luut.
[F8] As 2.0 Video Autostart

Disable Autostart
This is probably one of those things that is so simple and staring me in the face that I just don't see it however,
How do you disable the autostart on a flash clip? We are placing a flash clip on a website and want to have the flash clip default autostart setting set to disabled so that users who are not interested in the clip are not forced to listen to it against their will, while users who are interested can simply select the play button.
(Using Macromedia Flash Professional 8)
Thanks.

Can't Turn Off Autostart
I'm using MX 2004 Pro.
I've created an .flv file from a QuickTime movie, audio only.
When I created the .fla and .swf, I UNCHECKED "Automatically Play" in the Media Playback Window of the Component Inspector - but the audio ALWAYS starts playing when the page loads, even though the controller says, "Paused."
I've tried all of these parameters in the code on the HTML page, to no avail:
<param name="play" value="false" />
<param name="autoplay" value="false" />
<param name="autostart" value="false" />
What's going on here, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,

Autostart On Flash Movies?
I have made a flash movie and it works fine when i test it as I'm making it, but when I upload it to the server and view it on the webpage, the movie doesn't start automatically, I have to right click it then hit play. Is there something that I did wrong when I made the movie. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Flash Buttons Don't Autostart
Sorry if the question doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm really really new to Flash.
I'm using IE 6 and 7 (2 different pc's) to test on.
If I view a swf file that has animation it starts as soon as the page loads however, if I load a swf with a button on it (like one with a hover effect) I can not get it to start unless I click on the control first and then hover over it.
When I hover over the button the tooltip says, "Click to activate and use this control"
So I have to click on the control and then it works, but animations do not require this action. They start up as soon as the page loads.
Is there a setting or something in IE or in flash itself that I should have enabled to allow the buttons or menu to autostart as soon as the page loads?
Thanks, and again sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Autostart Issue-flv Player
I got this FLV player(click to download the source) and i ain't no genius in flash that's why I'll post this here if you please.
My problem is that the autostart won't work and i have no idea how to solve this problem.
I remember i tried, months ago, to put the code autostart=1 or true on the html code but that wasn't helpful at all so i guess there is something to do with the AS script to make this work
I know that the xml playlist is correct and there is nothing to change about it
Well,I hope ill get some help.

Script To Make Projector Autostart On Mac?
I was wondering if there was a script that would make a projector auto start from a mac platform. As in, the user inserts the CD into their computer, and the flash movie automatically launches and plays. (not in a browser window, just through the projector)
I've had no trouble finding the script for a PC, just haven't had the same luck for the mac.

[CS3] Media Player Component No Autostart
Okay,
I'm going insane here - I have checked the option on the component (on the stage) to not autostart - yet it autostarts the download anyways (it is set to false in the HTML as well). Driving me crazy here. Anyways, what I want is like an embedded You Tube movie, it places an icon over the start image and once the user clicks it then it starts the stream.
If I need to use Actionscript please inform me of where to place it (on the button, on the frame, etc), also of what form of AS to use. Thanks for the help.

Query - Audio Track Autostart
Hi there,
A quick question, I am using an audio track for a website.
A movie clip sits on the main timeline and is linked a .wav file.
The movie clip contains a button in frame 1 that uses the following code to start the audio playing:
on (release) {
s.start(0,100);
gotoAndPlay (1);
}
Frame 1 actions has the following code:
s = new Sound(this);
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.setVolume(100);
It works perfectly, but takes a user clicking the button to start the track.
I want it to auststart. Using an OnClipEvent to start the audio makes a huge mess! Any ideas?

1. Have the slideshow start automatically
2. Have music play automatically

Can someone help me? As Sargent Shultz said, "I know nothing, nothing!"
Thanks,

Music Loop Autostart Problem
Hi.
I created a player in Flash MX that loops an external MP3. However, this looping only starts playing automatically in Flash Mx test environment. When I put the SWF in the browser the music loop does not start automatically; I have to press my play button to get it started. Here's the actions frame.
myMusic = new Sound();
myMusic.loadSound("sample.mp3");
myMusic.start(0, 0);
myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
myMusic.start(.1, 0);
};
Any help is much appreciated.

Scrolling Image Autostart? Code Included...Please Help
I am trying to make an image scroll from top to bottom. As ur mouse goes over it, you can scroll it back up or down. It stops at the top and bottom. But I can't get it to have a default scrolling speed and direction for when there is no mouse on it. Here is the code I have on the movie clip! Thanks!
onClipEvent (load)
{
ycenter=150;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 800) _y=800;
if (_y < -535) _y=-535;
}
The if statements stop it at the top and bottom. I still need those to work after we get it to start scrolling. I need it to act as if the mouse is already at the top of the .swf file. Thank you!

Flash 5 On Macs?
I have created a pretty big flash movie website about 250k
I have set up preloaders to load the entire movie and on a pc in explorer and netscape its sweet,
But if you play the movie on a mac G3 it really struggles and is pretty gerky.
The actionscripting is not very involved it is only passing and checking one variable per click and making the respective submovieclip visible or invisible.
Any Ideas?
Am Really Hating Macs Lately Has Anyone Ever Come Across This?
Ok, heres my problem. I have an invisible MC (at least it was invisible from every browser 'cept Navigator on a Mac) and when you click a button it "opens" a little popup in my flash movie. But when I view it on a Mac the little popup is already visible? I'm wondering how to solve this? What if I put the popups off main stage and on (release) {
change _x and _y or something like that (not sure how to...)
so that they will appear on stage.....I don't know I hate MAC browsers but can someone suggest something please?
Code currently on button:
on (release) {
setProperty ("Popup", _visible, "1");
}

Problem With Macs I Think.
Hi, I have a movie which loads, than plays a song. I am using IE on a PC and when I open it, it works find... had a couple of friends test it (all on diff. versions of IE or dif.. speed computers), but all PC's, and it worked fine. SO I went to school today and tryed it on A mac in the comp. lab, using IE. The movie loads....and then nothing... I got no sound, I made sure the volum up, but There was nothing...
Does anyone know if there a reason for this?
Or if anyone is running a Mac with IE, could you tell me if YOU can hear the music, please? http://www.perfectspirit.com
The movie is the logo on the top.
I would put this is the sitecheck forum, but I'm not sure if this is a normal problem or not.
thanks for your time.

Flash MX - Macs And PCs
I created a flash site on a PC which contained the fonts: Tahoma, and _sans. After publishing the site to the web, i viewed it on both a Mac and PC. The PC fonts are correct, however on a Mac some of the fonts are different? WHY!!!!!
(BTW: The font areas are dynamic)
Thank You,

Some Trouble With Macs...
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help.
I just finished a new site for a band, www.theprojects.info.
At first lots of people on macs were having trouble getting to it, I put this down to an initial html page which checked whether you had flash or not... anyway, I ditched that and people are still having some problems.
A few with macs can see it, and a few can't, and it seems there's no correlation between mac os and or browser which is causing the problems...
Those that can't see it, can't even view a direct link ( www.theprojects.info/main/projects.swf )
Any ideas? Can you mac users out there see it? The others just get a blank black pop up window...
Thanks!
Macs Are Pish
Ok I am opening myself up to the usual abuse by monkeys still using Macs and for them I shall type s l o w l y....
I have a load movie for a dynamically loaded jpg
first frame is "loop_prev"
Code:
bytesTot = _parent.movieHolder.getBytesTotal();
bytesLoad = _parent.movieHolder.getBytesLoaded();
//
if (bytesTot>0) {
percent = int((bytesLoad/parseInt(bytesTot))*100);
indicator._x = 23+(percent*0.21);
}
second frame is
Code:
if (bytesLoad>=bytesTot && bytesTot>5) {
play();
} else {
gotoAndPlay("loop_prev");
}
"loaded" frame has a load of code to get the width etc
the problem is that G3's or slower macs dont seem to catch the bytesTot value all the time and start to go to the loaded frame before complete load as well as make percent a huge value. Am I doing something stupid or is there a more reliable check that I am missing?
ps sorry mac users, but c'mon live could be so much easier!

Macs And Menu's
I have a frames based site with flash menu's and html pages.
I want to be able to click a link on the html which will take me to another page in the site and change the flash menu as well.
the problem is I'd normally use fscommand for this, but I've just discovered that macs can't handle it.
Does anyone know a workaround or will I have to build a dhtml alternative for mac users?
ta!
