Video Takes Over Fullscreen Projector And Keyboard Commands
I build presentation files using Flash and am transitioning to ActionScript 3.0.

Often my method of building the presentation is to put all the "slides" in a timeline, one frame each, with stop actions, enabling advancement with a mouse click or keyboard command.

This has worked perfectly in AS 2.0 for video as well. In other words, Frame 1 might have a graphic, Frame 2 a video, and Frame 3 another graphic. On advancing to Frame 3, the video in Frame 2 goes away and everything works great.

In AS 3.0, the same approach works great until the projector goes full screen, and then the video takes over and keeps control of the screen. In this case I was using keyboard commands to try to advance.

Thinking this has something to do with the display list or other new concept in AS 3.0.

The basic question is -- how do I overcome video takeover in a presentation like this, so when I advance to the next frame--- a) the keyboard command is recognized and b) the video on the screen goes away.

Thanks in advance!

Flash CS3: Export Keyboard Preferences + Flash Commands?
In Flash CS3, does anyone know how to export keyboard preferences + Flash commands? Are these settings stored in files located somewhere or do I need to export them somehow? I want to transfer these settings to another computer without remaking all my preferences + Flash commands. Anyone know how? Thanks.

Commands To A Loaded Swf
I know there's a simple solution to this, but it's escaping me.

I'm loading an external swf into a clip in another swf. To load I've got

Code:
clip.loadMovie("external_swf");
So far, so good. Now, as soon as "external_swf" is loaded, I'd like it to jump to frame 5 and begin playing. Help, please? Many thanks in advance!

Mutliple AS Commands, That Seem Not To Work.
Whel....
I want to be able to play the timeline back to frame 1 of the same scene, then have the following code executed:

ActionScript Code:
_root.contents.loadMovie("welcome.swf")

Im sure you AS gurus can conjure some crazy code to let this happen, all ways i have tried have failed, without me being able to see the problem. Maybe this simply cannot be done.

Either way, help appreciated

Thanks,

Sending Commands To A Loaded Movie
Here is what I'm trying to do, but I'm not sure if it is posible. I have my main movie loading an exteral movie into it. When you click on a button in the original movie, I want it to play the loaded movie. This is the code I've tried but doesn't work...

loadMovie("external.swf",_root.container);
then for the button
on (release) {
_root.container.gotoAndPlay("play");
}

Is there a seperate function to send the "gotoAndPlay("play")" function, or is it just not posible for the movies to interact back and forth.
Thank you in advace for you help.

[F8] MC's With Externally Loaded Images Won't Accept OnEvent Commands
I have a photo gallery that uses a series of movie clips for the thumbnails. The thumbnails are externally loaded jpegs. They load just fine, but once loaded they will not accept any onEvent handlers. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening? I am wondering if when the image is loaded, it wipes out the instance name of the movie clip. My code to call out the event handler is this:

this.e1.onRollOver=function() {this.e1._alpha=100};
this.e1.onRollOut=function() {this.e1._alpha=50};
this.e1.onPress=function() {
_root.myVar = e1;
_root.myLargeImage.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

I am using a loop statement for all the movie clips, but for testing purposes I am putting in e1 in the code above.

Is There A Keyboard Accessibility Work Around?
I am having problems with Flash and keyboard accessibility.
Yes even MX.

The guidelines that I must adhere to state that web pages developed must be accessible via a keyboard.

This is fine on Flash only sites, but when mixed in with HTML the keyboard control is lost as soon as it "comes across" Flash.

E.G.
Take any HTML page with a bit of Flash on it.
Press the tab key to jump through the links on the page.
As soon as the tab hits the Flash object it stops the page access via the Tab key.

Does anyone know of a work around? or even if one is possible?

I have seen Flash menus that respond well to keyboard control but never seen one that exits the Flash object to continue the tab order beyond.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Keyboard Interactions Don't Work
I have a training module that is basically a Flashed up Powerpoint. I have a continue button that advances the timeline to the next fram when clicked or when spacebar is pressed. I also have a previous button that goes back a "slide" when clicked or on left arrow press. Things have worked great but I have experienced a problem when trying to make use of the Text Area component to load XML and CSS.

When I put the text area component on the stage and publish the file, the spacebar and arrow key functionality are not working. If I take the component off the stage, but it is still in my library, it still doesn't work. In order to get the keyboard functionality back, I must remove the component from the stage AND the library. I found this particularly strange and came up with a different method of placing my text.

I have found that this same thing happens with almost all components with the exception of the Scroll Pane Component. I started building the Flash file in Flash MX, that is where I began using the Scroll Pane Component. I have upgraded to CS3 now but still writing in AS2. Any ideas on why this might happen?

Thanks,
Luke

Getting Ctrl+a Keyboard To Work
Last edited by faruq : 2005-03-23 at 14:33.

I'm doing an e-learning project where I need students to type special characters such as æ (that is keycode 230) apparantly it's an old english charecter. I can get the character to display ok. I was thinking of getting to get the character to appear if the user presses 'ctrl' and 'a' at the same time.

My code isn't working because my line
ActionScript Code:
if(Key.isDown(17)==true && Key.isDown(65)==true ){

doesn't work as you need to press the 'a' then 'ctrl' in that sequence (even if you swap the keycodes in the code) to get it to work which is not the way normal people type.

According to moock you need two seperate if statements but how should I arrange them? Here is my original code

ActionScript Code:
keyListner=new Object;
keyListner.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.isDown(17)==true && Key.isDown(65)==true ){
trace("ctrl+a");
}
}
Key.addListener(keyListner);

Keyboard Focus On Swf When Swf Is Loaded
I've got a text field within a movieclip that's got the keyboard focus set to it when the swf runs.

Selection.setFocus(userWords.displaySend);

This works fine in that the default text in the text field is selected when it appears. But though keyboard focus is on the text field, it's not on the .swf within the context of the browser window. I have to click on the .swf to get that. But when I click on the .swf, the text field loses focus unless I click on the text field itself.

That's in Firefox, actually. It's a bit different in IE6, but that requires user activity, too.

Is it possible to set things up so that the user can start typing immediately into the text field without having to "activate" the .swf first?

Making Buttons Work From Keyboard
Hi!

I've tried the following script on the main timeline but it doesn't seem to be able to target the button

stop();
button01.Key.SPACE = function () {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}

I've also tried assigning the actions to the button itself with this:

on (Key.ENTER) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(5);
}

But nothing happens.
Could anyone help me with this?

Keyboard Shortcuts For Timeline Don't Work
Hello All,

None of the Timeline keyboard shortcuts for "Move Keyframe" (Up, Down, Left, Right) nor "Select Frame" (Left, Right, Above, Below) work for me. Period and comma move the playhead, and I can copy/paste frames, but I cannot select additional frames and cannot move them up, down, or over with the built-in commands. Other keyboard shortcuts work just fine for me.

I've used the default settings, made my own, tried using combinations that don't use the ctrl, alt, or shift keys for the shortcut... nothing seems to help. I've also used two different keyboards with different drivers, and have reinstalled Flash - nothing fixes it.

WinXP Pro sp2, 1.8 GHz Athlon Processor, 1 G RAM, 500+ Gb drives with plenty of extra space. Flash 8 Pro installed on a drive other than C:.

I have searched the forum and the knowledge index on and off for a few weeks now, but haven't seen anything about this issue.

Thanks to anyone who can give me some insight into this.

[AS3] Keyboard Event Wont Work :(
I decided to pick up a copy of O'reilly Actionscript 3 Cookbook today, and I have been going through. One of the first examples it has for keyboard events is:

Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

public class ExampleApplication extends Sprite {
public function ExampleApplication( ) {
stage.focus = this;
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
}

private function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace("key down: " + event.charCode);
}
}
}
But for some reason it will not work. According to the book stage.focus = this; is all you need for keyboard events to work, am i doing something wrong?

Keyboard Events Don't Work In Player Or Projector
I need to trap keyboard events. My code works OK in test mode (ctrl + enter), but not when I run the swf or projector directly on the desktop. My project is going on CD, not in a browser, and the only thing on the stage is an instance of the FLVplayback component.

And while I'm at it....does anyone know the code to simulate clicking the windows Restore button? That's what the keypress is for. My client doesn't want the video running in real full-screen; they want their users to click the Maximize button, so they'll see the title bar, then press Esc to restore the window, again.

Attach Code

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.system.fscommand;

fscommand("trapallkeys", "true");

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, pressThis);

function pressThis(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ESCAPE){
trace("you pressed esc");
}

if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.F12){
trace("you pressed F12");
}

Setup Loaded Movies To Work Loaded Or Standalone
Hi Guys

How do I get a movie to work as a standalone movie - when i'm building it - and also work as a loaded movie in a parent movie that loadMovie or loadMovieNum this movie.

It just get annoying having to always change paths after I finish building my sub-movies because half the time I get it wrong - it might take me a couple of hours to get the move working as a standalone, but then i can take more hours to get it working as loaded.

any ideas??

thx

Loaded Swf Won't Work The Second Time It's Loaded.
I'm using the great flip book code from iparigrafika.hu

I have an odd bug when loading the 'PageFlip' swf into by base swf.
It loads into level10 using the 'loadmovie' action.
It loads the swf and works perfectly but if you load a different swf and the reload the 'PageFlip' swf, all the page turning functions don't work???

the 'FlipPage' is at this link ---> http://www.iparigrafika.hu/

By the way it's a fantastic bit of coding and well worth playing with, if unlike me you know what your doing!!!

Keyboard Domination - Best Tricks To Hear All Possible Keyboard Shortcuts
I'm looking to recreate a keyboard shortcut quiz in flash much like this example that's been done in javascript.... (Note: the example seems to only really work well on Windows - I'm hoping mine proves to be more compatible?). a timer counts down while it waits for you to correctly perrform the shortcut on the keyboard.

I've successfully implemented a key combination listener such as is detailed in a tutorial here. I've gotten it to parse my list of shortcuts from a delimited txt file, correctly analyze user combination held & advance/score if correct, drive score based on countdown time remaining, manage "pass" to skip tough ones, etc.

You can see my progress here.
http://www.realitytheory.com/clients...indexTest.html

However I've still got several things that don't work even though I'm using fscommand("trapallkeys", "true"); (does that even matter when used within browser plugin?)

1) Ctrl key doesn't register on Macs (tried Safari & Ffox) but Cmd key does. This is odd since it works fine when previewing in Flash via Ctrl-Enter (and having enable keyboard shortcuts disabled in that player). Not a showstopper as client's cool if it's windows only.

2) Any shortcuts that utilize the Alt key - seems flash doesn't detect a key event when I hit that key. I've seen another thread here intimating that Flash can't hear code #18 (alt) even though javascript can it certainly seems true in flash player. Is this true? Can it be somehow "pressed" by javascript via a JS key handler?

3) Any that conflict with browser default actions e.g. Ctrl-P, Ctrl-S. Before saying there's no way, note that somehow the JS on the example link *do* block those (on IE/Ffox Win anyways). Does anyone have a clue what part? Will disabling the browser's default actions mean Flash receives the input or will flash not hear them either?

Any help will I'm sure benefit anyone looking to listen for key combos.

AttachMovie From Loaded .swf Does Not Work

placeHolder.loadMovie("library.swf");
if (Number(_framesloaded)>=Number(_totalframes)) {
gotoAndPlay (3);
}

loads the library movie and waits until its loaded.
Then there si something like this:

placeHolder.attachMovie("obr1", "myobr1", 1);
placeHolder.myobr1._x = -121;
placeHolder.myobr1._y = -70;

To attach clips to specific position.

The problem is, that it works perfectly on my local machine (and it does not matter, whether I acces the movie directly or via internet server), but when I place it to remote web server, to external clips simply do not appear.
Does anybody have an idea, where the problem might be?

Buttons On Loaded Swf Don't Work
I searched this forum high and low for the answer to this questions but couldn't find anything. Any hints/tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

When I load an swf into an MC instance on my main movie:

ActionScript Code:
function openMovie(whichmc) {
loadMovie(whichmc, _root.contentbox1);}
...the swf opens but it's buttons don't work. Actually, they do work when I program them manually with rollover stuff (editing up/over/down/hit properties) but the actionscript events do not work:

ActionScript Code:
_root.topbutton.onRelease = function() {
clearInterval(scroller);
quickie();
};
Is there any easy solution for this? I have seem some mention of "paths" or "levels" although I could quite figure out if this was the problem. Does my secondary swf need some further pathing to execute the actionscript properly? I built it as if it was a standalone swf.

Thanks,
Cheez

LoadMovie : My Loaded Swf Won't Work
Hi Everyone:

I have a problem when loadind a clock swf into a MC. The clock that works fine on itself , won't work when loaded into the MC. To clarify, the hierarchy of my site is like this:

Main Fla>
page1MC>
clock.swf(loaded into an EmptyMC created inside page1MC).

The code is as follows inside the page1MC timeline:

this.createEmptyMovieClip("newClock", 10);
newClock._x=300;
newClock._y=-20;
newClock._xscale=newClock._yscale=50;
newClock.loadMovie("clock.swf","newClock");

This code loads the clock.swf movie just fine but...the clock doesn't work. Why is this?. Is it because in the original clock.fla I referenced the _root timeline to get the time and date...?.

How can I solve this?. I have the same problem loading another swf that loads jpgs dinamically into it....

Thanks for your help in advance.

Swf Loaded In Container Won't Work
Hi all,
I built a variation of Comic Geeks easing menu system (http://www.actionscript.org/resource...tem/Page1.html) which works fine just by itself.
After loading it into a Container of my main movie, the buttons refuse to function though.
Since I'm not a pro my best guess is that it might have to do with the actionscript?

Most likely the _root reference or the coordinates of the loaded movie don't work, but it doesn't react at all.

I'd apreciate any help on this.

Here's the code from the loaded movie:

//during the time the movie loads, we set the current
//position of the content at 0,0; thus showing the
//HOME section of the site.
onClipEvent (load) {
_x = 0;
_y = 0;
div = 5; //This value just determines the speed
//the transistions.
}
//Here we constantly check for new values of
// _x and _y. These values are determined by endX and endY.
//We divide the difference by div to have an value that
//continues to change until the equation is true.
//Try changing the 'enterFrame' with 'Load' to see the
//difference. You would then have to click on a button
//several times before the transistion completes.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x += (endX-_x)/div;
_y += (endY-_y)/div;

//We then use the onRelease method to determine the
//new values of endX and endY. This is a new feature
//in Flash MX.
_root.home.onRelease = function() {
endX = 0;
endY = 0;
};
_root.works.onRelease = function() {
endX = -700;
endY = 0;
};
_root.skills.onRelease = function() {
endX = -1400;
endY = 0;
};

Many thanks!

stop();

I also have embedded MC that refer to this _root script. So my problem is that the swf loads but the script which is supposed to close a menu when one menu is opened does not work, they just all stay open when i click other menus. Any suggestion on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Loaded .swf Won`t Work Correctly
Tried to load one .swf file into another using loadClip method:

var MCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
MCL.loadClip("1.swf", "loader");

The .swf file is loaded but controls inside it won`t work (i have some buttons and stuff in it). Separately everything works just fine..

Also, what is the difference in loadClip usage between AS 2 and 3? The code above generates some compiler error messages in AS 3 mode, like "1180: Call to a possibly undefined method MovieClipLoader" and "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MovieClipLoader."

Any help?

Movie Loaded On Level1 No Work
OK. I have a movie that acts as a visual base in _level0, which calls another .swf on _level1 from its first frame. The second movie appears to load fine, but it doesn't find the _droptarget I've set inside it. Mind you, the swf that's loaded into _level1 works F-I-N-E on its own. This must be a path problem, right?!@

Here's my code (I think lines 3, 4, and 5 of the On release are the important ones):

on (press) {
startDrag (getProperty(_x, _y));
this.swapDepths(_root.currentTop);
++_root.currentTop;
//_level0.feedback = "yellow";
//trace (_level0.feedback);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (_droptarget eq _level1.yellowbay) {
tellTarget (_level1.yellowbay) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
tellTarget ("/text") {
gotoAndStop (65);
}
tellTarget ("/drop") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
tellTarget ("/response") {
gotoAndPlay (63);
}
_root.score = _root.score + 1;
gotoAndStop (2);
} else {
setProperty ("", _x, OrgX);
setProperty ("", _y, OrgY);
tellTarget ("/response") {
gotoAndPlay (33);
}
tellTarget ("/honk") {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
}
}

Note: when I look at my objects in the output window, the path to the yellowbay is Target="_level1.yellowbay". Arrgh.

Thanks,

Rick

Cant Get 'Movie Loaded' Routine To Work. Please Help.
Im working on a movie that loads a second movie that contains a series of images. The first movie then processes, resizes and displays the images on the second. Within this first movie there is a simple routine that checks the bytes loaded, etc. and is supposed to loop until the image movie is done loading.

It works fine offline but when I first load the movie online it shows that the image movie (i.e. its bytes) have been loaded but it wont display. Apparently, it continues the script before it's finished loading. If I refresh, the images are cached and it works fine.

Any help would be appreciated. If someone is willing to take the time, I could send them what I have if my description here isn't enough.

Also, I know I could easily set up a pre-loader at the beginning of each image movie that talks to the first but id like to avoid it if i can since I plan on having several image movies.

Please help,

-Joe http://www.indivision.net (see for yourself at what happens! goto ART-->FINE ART, then refresh... hehe)

Loaded Movie Into MC & Now Actions Don't Work
Ok this is my problem:

I have two movies A & B, both are realy entire movies with button actions, preloaders, and everything.
Now I press a button in movie A which loads movie B into a invisible MC (the invisible MC is one of those pseudo pop-up window designed in flash).
So movie B loads perfectly into the MC, everything is fine. But now none of the actions in movie B work, e.g. button anctions, preloaders, ect.
What am I doing wrong?

Very perplexed,

Caption Flags Don't Work When Swf Is Loaded Into Swf.
I have a main swf with a button that calls up a menu swf into a containerMC. The menu swf works fine with it's flags poping up over the buttons saying what that button will play/do when this swf is loaded alone in a browser. The problem accurs when the main swf is loaded, and the menu swf is loaded into the containerMC. Then, the menu swf attatches to the mouse, and it won't let go. Sliding around the main swf as it it were the caption flag it's self and the main swf was the button.

Here is the link to the menu fla. There is no action scripting associated with this menu swf on the main fla.

http://www.justinsteiger.com/flash/sliderOpenBeta.fla

On my site the menu works, with out the caption flags. That url is listed in my signature. (juststeiger.com)

I also originaly used _root in all the scripting but it was suggested to try _level0 but that came up with identical results.

Thanks in advance,
Justin
