Mac Autostart With Application

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

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.

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.

Thanks.

[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?

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!

Using Mx.core.Application.application.url In A Class
I have a VERY simple class that does not work and I would like to know why. Here it is:


package Test{
import mx.core.Application;
publicclass Environment{
privatevar CurrentURL:String;
publicfunction Environment(){
this.CurrentURL = mx.core.Application.application.url;
trace("Current URL: "+this.CurrentURL);
}
}}

The error message is "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference". This is because mx.core.Application.application is null. My problem is that when I trace mx.core.Application.application.url in my Flex2 application it is defined, and it is the current Request URI. Why can't I access it from within my class? Can this be some kind of namespace issue? Why does ActionScript insist on making me mad (rhetorical).

Thanks in advance!

Tab Application
I have a movie that has a tab/folder user interface. Sort of like a file folder. You click the tab and that folder jumps to the front. It works great, except you can still click the buttons (and input text) in the other files eventhough they are in layers lower than the top file. Any ideas on how to fix that problem? Thanks.

Application.as ?
hello,
I am a designer with some flash programming skills, trying to rip apart a coworkers flash app development work. When I open the .FLA file, there is no reference to the external classes he has, yet the .FLA file still uses them and it works. There is no code in the .FLA!! In his class packages, he has a file called "Application.as" which seems to have all the code. Is it possible for the .FLA to automatically Import this file? I am lost...thanks in advance...

Help With Map Application
Hi guys....
I really need u guys help with my map application...since I'm stuck up here

u can see the mockup preview here..

http://www.franzacollections.net/mapstuff/mockup.swf

as u guys can see and test the map.I already done with preparing the navigation and controller for the maps..but there is still minor issues occured..and realy need u guys help/ at least give me some shed on light how to overcomes it.. really need u guys help....

1.How to easing the map within map boundary..as u guys obviously can see when the menu item being click the maps will ease to certain location based on assigning x,y coordinate read from array.But how to detect/rectify by the times the map easing is it the maps easing over beyonds the boundary or not,if so it will only easing within boudary only...not using that given coordinates....does make sense?

2.Regarding the bubble thingy...how to keep it's remain their xscale and yscale property eventhough the map it scaling...as u guys can see in the mockup...the bubbles also scaling together with the maps..pretty annoying...I try to keep bubbles scale remain by using this code but not to avail I guess...

Code:
//inside zoom in function
zoomin.onPress = function(){
if (mapmc._xscale < maxScale) {
mapmc._xscale = mapmc._xscale + scaleSpeed/0.5;
mapmc._yscale = mapmc._yscale + scaleSpeed/0.5;
//////////////////// how to keep remain child scale ///////////////
orichildXscale = orichildYscale = (100/mapmc._xscale)*100;
///////////////////////////////////

}
}
3.I do manage keep the map within boundary upon panning...by dragging the maps..but the problem occurred when I start rescale the map I cant reach certain point on maps when I dragging the maps...(is it because of I'm setting off the boudary manually at the 1st places???) ..

Anyway sorry for th elong questions but at least give me some shed on light and point me to the rite path....I just really need help with it..then I'm done ....because it's just a simple and basic map controller I guess...hope I will get reply from u guys...thanks for u guys time and concern...

thanks in advanced...

in case u guys wanna see my current code and my mockup fla

Pls Help For My First Application
I borrow the old Flash Communication Server book for reference and follow its example. I create the folder named "simple" as "C:Program FilesMacromediaFlash Media Server 2applicationssimple". And then create a file "main.asc", inside is "load("component.asc"); ".

Then i create the Flash file with the SimpleConnect component, the PeopleList component and the ConnectLight component. Also i change the Application Dirtectory to "rtmp:/simple" and add the PeopleList and ConnectLight to Comunication Component of SimpleConnect.

However, after testing it, the PeopleList do not show the login name. But the console showed that there is one loaded.

What is the problem....? Anything need to set up, like the environment varable??

Thank you very much!!

Application VOD Set Up
I have a quick question. What is the standard practice when setting up video on demand. Right now I am just putting the files in VOD/Media folder and streaming them from there. Is there any performance advantage to creating seperate folders under the VOD folder and streaming individual flv files from a folder besides the media folder. Just worried that streaming all the videos from the media folder might effect perfomance.

Application Help
Right now I'm starting an application that would turn out to be a chat application. I have the regular buttons needed in a application (close, maximize, minimize), but I can't seem to get the right AS needed to get the buttons to do what I want them to do. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe a tutorial or something. I tried the 'removemovieclip' but then realized i would need to create the whole thing into one MC and didnt want to try if i wasnt sure if it was going to work or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
