Load Movie Based On Explorer Address?
Hi!
I've got a question for all of you FLASH-masters out there.
I'm currently working on a website, based on ASP and a database. It loads the content on the page from a database.
Now to the problem. I've got a flash menu/image viewer at the top of the page. ( ex. When I klick on "About" the menu/movie clip shows an "About" image). The problem is that the website is based on only ONE page (default.asp) So, whenever I klick on a link, let's say "About" the page reloads and the About page is shown, BUT! the flash menu/movie is reloaded and moves back to the start of the timeline ( In this case the "welcome" image).
My question is: Is there a way to tell what part of the movie clip to be shown based on the explorer address, or is there another way around this problem?
I don't want to use frames on my website because then the scroller is "miss placed".
I hope I have explaind my problem fairly well, so you all can understan what the h*ll I'm talking about.
Thank you!
No Explorer Task Bar, Address Bar Or Buttons
Can anyone please tell me how to create a movie that is played in explorer without showing the Explorer task bar, address bar and buttons (i.e. Back, Forward, Stop, Refresh, Home, etc.)? Also, How can I prevent the user from resizing the window? Finally, how can I make the movie autoplay if I put it on a CD?

Strange Code Appears In I Explorer Address Bar.
I have the following code which I shamelessly cut and pasted into a swf file (I want it to open an html window of desired size, etc.):
here is the code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:window.open('http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html','windowName','width=400,height=160, top=0,left=0,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no ,menubar=no,status=no,directories=no,location=no') ; void(0);");
}
When I click the button I get:
javascript:window.open('http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html'
in the address bar.
Why?

Absolute Address In Load Movie
sorry for the newbie question, using MX on mac 10.2.6
How do I do an absolute address. Say the file is "menu.swf", and the folder it is in is "source" and I am using the load movie command:
loadMovieNum("menu.swf", 5);
And the file that is loading it is "top.swf" and it resides just outside the "source" folder in the "all" folder.
all (folder)
top.swf
source (folder)
menu.swf
I just don't know what the correct labeling/mark would be ( / , _ " ) etc...
what would be the full load movie command for this example.
thanks in advance for this simple question.
[F8] AS2 Load A Variable Via IP Address Link?
Hi All
I'm currently having a problem with loadVariables.
Is it possible to load a variable in a text file into flash player via the IP address to the text file?
i.e.: loadVariables ("\172.17.62.5animation$FSCOMMANDkey.txt", this);
The above code does not work
================================================== ==============
What I'm trying to do:
I have developed Flash projects for a client Company that are run via flash exe's.
These projects sit on a network server. This company is now concerned about the security of these projects.
If someone should copy the files off the server they should not play.
I thought of a solution that has a text file on the server with a variable that is loaded into the player at runtime. The link to this txt should be absolute, so if the folder is copied off the server and taken off site the flash player will no longer be able to find the network folder with the text file.
Does this required php, asp etc?
Or is there another way to load a variable into flash player from a IP addressed folder?
================================================== ==============
PATH on server:
\172.17.62.5animation$FSCOMMAND
Txt file text is:
&Keylock=786
The code in my flash file:
loadVariables ("key.txt", this); //load the Keylock variable into flash
trace(Keylock);//trace "786"
KeyDisplay=Keylock//Dynamic textbox to show 786 on screen
LockVar = parseInt(Keylock);//Set LockVar variable to Keylock value and convert 786 string to int
trace("Lock = "+LockVar);
//
if (LockVar == 786) {//if statement checks value and sends the playhead accordingly
gotoAndStop("Menu", 1);
} else if (LockVar != 786) {
gotoAndStop(20);
}
Thanks for your time and assistance it is appreciated

Load Variables From What The User Types In Address Bar
Hi,
I was just surfing and suddenly I found this site... www.youaremyfriend.com
How this site function really surprised me and I really want to learn how I can do the same thing myself. I hope some of you help me
What the site does is that you can put your first and last name before the domain name in the address bar and the flash file will use your enterd first and last name in the playing animation! Try this... www.Jack.Smith.youaremyfriend.com
Have any idea how it works?

Ie Explorer Will Not Load Thumbnails Correctly
sorry to bother you all with this, yet again, but nobody seems to have an answer...In mozilla, the thumbnails on my site work fine. But in IE , they do not scale. Any thoughts on why that is? The photos load from an XML file. each "gallery" is it's own swf, on _level1....the loader for main images is working fine in all browsers. Any help to resolve this annoying piece would be great.

Scene Won't Load In Internet Explorer, Only In The .swf
Hey everyone:
I'm in a bit of a bind here. My site performs drastically different when it is run in Test Movie (.swf) and when it is run through Internet Explorer.
It has 3 scenes in the following order and no externally loaded .swfs:
Scene 2 (Preloader)
Scene 3 (Intro)
Scene 1 (Content - I originally began with this one but later added the Preloader & Intro)
When I test the movie from Flash CS3 or run the exported .swf, it runs through with no problems. However, as soon as I export it and run it in Internet explorer through .html file, it will only load the preloader, which then transitions to the intro, and then I get a white screen for Scene 3. I cannot get the main content scene to play at all.
It seems the problem starts with the code to embed the .swf into the .html page. If I run the .swf through internet explorer, it is fine, but then it expands to fill the whole page. I think it wouldn't be wise to run just the .swf online.
I would greatly appreciate any help in this manner!
Thank you,
Adam

Monitoring Load Movie In Internet Explorer ...
Hi,
Does anyone know if you can monitor .swf's that are loaded into a .swf in internet explorer?
E.g. you can see the status bar loading the main flash interface, but if another .swf is loaded into the interface using load movie, can you monitor its download progress in IE?
Any ideas would be great
Thanks

[F8] Odd Flash Load Behavior In Internet Explorer
Have any of you seen this behavior? In firefox it works fine but in Internet explorer the flash images does not load until you move the mouse over the flash. I tested it with and without the javascript wrapped around. It is most likely related to my actionscript.

Jpegs Wont Load With Internet Explorer
Hi, I am currently programing my portfolio site and I have tried a couple different ways of loading Jpegs from an images folder into an empty movie clip. Both worked sucessfully everywhere but PCs, which I hear are kind of important. First I tried the basic LoadMovie ("jpegmane.jpg", movieclip_mc) and that was unsuccessful. Next I tried the following code:
ink_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
mask_mc.cacheAsBitmap = true;
ink_mc.setMask("mask_mc");
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
trace("LOAD COMPLETE");
target._parent.load_text._alpha = 0;
//target._parent.play();
}
listener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, bL:Number, bT:Number) {
trace("PROGRESS: " + (bL / bT) * 100);
}
loader.addListener(listener);
print_btns.print1.onRelease = function() {
loader.loadClip("images/print_philroy.jpg", content_mc);
_root.ink_mc._alpha = 0;
_root.gotoAndStop("print");
}
I haven't had any problems like this before with PCs. Any suggestions out there?
THanks in advance.

Dynamic Flash Images Don't Load In Intenet Explorer Until Mouse Over
Has anyone ever seen this behavior before where dynamic flash Images don't load in Internet Explorer until you place the mouse over the flash object? It works fine in Firefox. I am thinking it must be the way I wrote the actionscript. I tested it with and without the javascript wrapper to prevent users from needing to click on the object to activate it.
Here's the page to show you an example...

Problem Getting Flash/Director Animation To Load In Internet Explorer [renamed]
I am SUPER new, so please don't laugh at me...
I have created a VERY simple animation in MX2004 and placed it in an HTML file using Dreamweaver. When I visit it using Mozilla Firefox, it works fine. However, when I visit the site using Internet Explorer, it shows the Macromedia Shockwave "loadin bar looking" screen and never loads and doesn't display the animation. Please help me, I'm dumb!

Internet Explorer And Flash - Freakin Explorer Bar
Okay, I'm pretty new at with Flash, and the whole actionscript/xml/xhtml stuff. When I upload my .swf to the web, I always get that explorer bar dropping bombs everytime I open the page. And I get it on just about every computer. Is there a special embed tag or some trick I'm missing to make that thing go away. Also, why do some sites automatically focus and others not. How do I do that?
Address Bar.
Hey,
I'm trying to make an address bar like that of the one in internet explorer, so that when you type in an address it's displayed, for example if the user enters 'www.mypage.com', then it should take the person to that website.
Thank you.

Is It Possible To Know What URL Address You Are On?
Pardon my ignorance, but is there a way to find out what URL the page is on? or am I missing a fundamental stop(); and something else?
I have a menu that I use in my htm documents for a web site to navigate through it. When a page is selected, an animation is played and it graphically indicates the new page being viewed.
The problem I have is that as soon as the page loads, the movie plays from the begining as the swf gets loaded again. I have tried a stop(); at the first frame, but then the movie doesn't go to the frame where it is supposed to graphically indicate what page the user is on.
My tought is that if I can somehow read the URL I am on, then on my first page I can do some if statements to take me to the frame for each particular page so the user has the right graphical display.
Your help is much appreciated.
Is There A Way I Could Get The IP Address....
Hi you all!!!
Is there a way to get the IP Address (from within the movie) of the machine the Flash Movie is playing on?
Here's the scenario: I have multiple Flash Movies playing on remote machines, and each one has to validate against a SocketServer I have running on the Server from which the movies where downloaded from. Now the validation "UserName" has to be the IP Address.
I need to send this IP to the SocketServer so it (The Server) can look up each machine on a DB.
As always, I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Francisco
Getting An IP Address
Does anyone know if you can snag an IP address in flash. Would like to be able to restrict only certain IP addresses from being able to get into my swf file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
IP Address
I was wondering if anybody can help,
I have only just started using flash/dreamweaver....... I have made up a contact form in flash that posts to a CGI script. On the form itself I want to display the users IP address, this is to stop people abusing the form.
I have no problem using something like shtml to get the ip but I do not know how to pass that variable into flash or if there is an easier way just using action script itself
Thanks for the help in advance

If I have an swf [nav bar]say on www.site.com/games
is there a way I can read the address and have a text field display games, then if I had the the swf nav bar on the index page, make the text field display home?

Get IP Address
Probably silly Q here but am going to ahead and ask. I basically need a way to obtain IP address in flash. What I have so far;;
In PHP:
<?
$ip = getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); //~ get ip address
$ip = "&ip=".$ip."&"; //~ make it a flashable variable
echo $ip; //~ spit it out
?>
In FLA with dynamic text box named "myTextBox" and on the first frame- the actionscript is:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.specificvariable = "Value";
myLoadVars.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/ip.php", this, "GET");
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
myTextBox.text = this.ip;
};
Now it's not working. Can anyone help me out to get this fixed? Thanks!
