Flash :: Remember Frame On Reload (browser Refresh) Using LSO

Flash Menu Not Visible In Browser Until I Reload/refresh. Help
I have just spent over an hour looking for the solution to my problem but cannot find a thread that matches it (or am too ignorant to recognise it when I see it.) I apologise if this is a common question.

I have just created a menu for an HTML page using Flash. It works fine in the Flash tool and the published HTML file works fine if I just load the local HTML file (i.e. the one on my hard drive) into a browser on my machine. When I FTP the file to my web site and load the page over the internet my browser displays everything on the page except for the flash menu. When I refresh/reload the page the menu appears. If I clear the browser cache and re-load the page the menu is gone again until I click on reload/refresh once again. I get the same results with Mozilla and with IE.

Any help with what I might be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Automatically Refresh / Reload Frame
I have a flash application where on frame X an actionscript pulls news items out of a MySQL database.

The MySQL database gets updated AUTOMATICALLY on a regular base (say, every 5 minutes or so).

But the application doesn't reload the data AUTOMATICALLY...

I've found ways to reload the data with a button here on flashkit but that's not what I'd like.

I'd like to see the frame reload/refresh itself AUTOMATICALLY every 5 minutes or so.

If anyone could provide me the AScode for this...

Thanks already

[F8] Stage Refresh/Reload?
Hey...

I have a dynamic text box, and a UIscrollbar component attached to it, but when I click a button to update the text in the box the scrollbar does not recognize that the text goes beyond the borders and needs to scroll.

I am thinking that if I can click that button which makes the text update, and then refresh the stage so the scrollbar can see that it needs to scroll.... Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

Disabling Reload On Refresh
I am trying to figure out how to keep my flash movie from reloading when the browser is refreshed. I have a flash movie on my home page and then straight html on the others. When users click back to the home page from other html pages the flash movie reloads from the beginning. I want it to stay on the last frame once it loads the first time. Anyway to do this? Seems pretty basic but I am stuck. Check it out here.

External XML, Reload/refresh
Hi there!

Since one of my new years resolutions was to seriously freshen up my Flash/AS knowledge, I have begun to work through some of the (very well-done) tutorials here - this afternoon/evening was "XML-time".

Since I didn't just want to complete the turorial and move on, I have begun building a little Flash newsreader for my desktop. Until a few hours ago, everything worked beautifully - external XML file is being loaded and displayed properly.

One thing I that has me completely stumped though, is how in the world do I reload the XML file manually? I have tried simply repeating the XML import (assigning the loadXML function to a button) but the display of my "newsreader" refuses to show the updated contents from the XML file (I'm working with a local XML file for now to make things easier)

This is driving me bunkers. If any of you guys could help me over this "bump" with a link/tutorial/code snippet - that would be most appreciated!

TIA, kubik

Reload/Refresh My Random Variable?
I'm using Flash MX, here's my code:

Code:

imagesUrls = ["images/loadback1.jpg", "images/loadback2.jpg", "images/loadback3.jpg", "images/loadback4.jpg", "images/loadback5.jpg", "images/loadback6.jpg", "images/loadback7.jpg"];

imagesMix = imagesUrls[Math.floor(Math.random() * 7)];

_global.imagesRndm = function() {
loadMovie(imagesMix, _root.loadingmc.loadback);
}

imagesRndm();
Here's my question, when calling my global function - 'imagesRndm();' the imagesMix variable doesn't reload. I've tried this and it works:

Code:

_global.imagesRndm = function() {
loadMovie(imagesUrls[Math.floor(Math.random() * 7)], _root.loadingmc.loadback);
}
I guess I'm looking for some cleaner code, or a way to refresh the 'imagesMix' variable.

Thanks

Reload Movie Similar To Page Refresh?
I am having trouble with removeMovieClip(). It simply will not remove all of the movie clips that I earlier attached with attachMovie(). I will spare you the details but after two full days of exploring potential workarounds, I'm ready to try something completely different...

Is there anything I can do with MX ActionScript to make the movie start from the very beginning and just reset everything, kind of like what would happen if you refreshed the browser?

Shared Object - .swf Reload On Page Refresh
I have joined this forum today so hi to all,

I'm pretty new to flash and was hoping someone could offer some guidance with shared objects.

I've created a Joomla Template which has a flash banner at the top. The movie runs then stops offering the user a button to replay if they wish - all is right with the world!

When the user refreshes the page by either refreshing or moving to another page the movie replays which is not the desired action.

I understand shared objects (flash cookie) is one method of controlling/stopping this action.

I would like the movie to run in full regardless of user activitiy/page location but then not again that day.

Can anyone assit me or point me to a tutorial. I've had a look at Whispers posts in this forum but was unable to get that code to work.

Many thanks

PM

Sharedobject To Remember Frame
Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to use a SharedObject to remember the exact frame of a Flash animation, so that it starts from the finishing frame when a new page containing the .swf is loaded.

This is just to keep continuation throughout a number of pages which contain the same Flash banner.

Any help would be great.

Getting A Movie To Remember Its Last Position (frame#)
Is there a relatively easy way to get a Flash movie to remember its last position (frame#)?
Here's what I'm attempting to do:
I have a webpage with a list of system names on it. Next to each system name is a circle (I'm using a swf here) that is filled in either green or red to show whether the system is up (green) or down (red). If the status of a system changes, the maintainer for that system needs to be able to go to this web page and click the circle (swf) to toggle from red to green or vice-versa. When the page is reloaded, the circle (swf) needs to remember it's last state (red or green).
I can get the button to toggle just fine, I just can't get it to remember its last state.
Can this be accomplished solely in Flash, or am I going to need to hook up with a databse to accomplish this?

Remember Session/Last Frame With Cookie
Hey all..

I've seen some people work with cookies to prevent flash from playing again for the same visitor within a 24 hour period, however I am trying to do something a bit different.

My goal is to use a cookie to determine the last frame a person viewed, this way if I have a flash movie tied into my site, and they visit another page, or reload a page or leave my site completely and return later, I would like the flash to pick up at the last frame they saw.

Is this possible?

I primarily use asp if there would be accompanying code. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks.

Shared Objects To Remember Frame Number Help
hello,
I have a banner that i want to have throughout the my html site.
Although i dont want the swf to keep repeating everytime i move from one page to another.
I have got this from macromedia but cannot get it to work:

// Get the kookie
so = sharedobject.getlocal("kookie");

// Get the user of the kookie and go to the frame number saved for this user.
if (so.data.user != undefined) {
this.user = so.data.user;
this.gotoAndStop(so.data.frame);
}

The following code block is placed on each movie frame.

// On each frame, call the rememberme function to save the frame number.
function rememberme() {
so.data.frame=this._currentFrame;
so.data.user="John";
}

Remember Mc Position And Put Back On Frame Reentry
I'm using this code to drag movie buttons:

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
this.onPress = startDrag;
}
onClipEvent(mouseDown){
if(this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse)){
this.pressed=true;
this.onRelease = stopDrag;
}
}

which works fine, but when I leave the frame the buttons are on and come back later, of course they're in the starting position, rather than where I dragged them. I've looked into variables, but I'm pretty new to AS, and I don't even know where to begin.

I'd like the code to put them back where they were when I come back into the frame they're on.

I appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks

Flash - > Browser Without Page Reload
Hey there!

I'm just curious, is there any way... Or how could I get a Flash File to call a Javascript Function / Send a Variable back to a browser which Javascript could read?

Basically working on something where as, currently at any moment during the web page is open Flash receives a variable.. Needs to process that, then call a Javascript Function in the page or if this can't be done, sends a variable back to the page which javascript will listen for every 500ms or something like this...

Anyone know please ?

Prob: Website Cycles Through On Browser Reload
To see the problem for yourself, go to www.eonarchiving.com. Then hit refresh on your browser (if that works correctly, hit your home button and then your back button to return to the page) and watch the entire site run before your eyes. I have a stop() command on the first frame of it's own layer. What am I doing wrong? I've only 3 months Flash experience so actionscript is still frustrating but I want to learn fast so go ahead and tear me a new one. Thanks.

Ext. MP3's Don't Play Unless You Refresh Browser

2) Preloads 12 external MP3's
3) Starts the animation/sound

But, if you hit the browser's Refresh button, all the MP3's play properly.

Disable Browser Refresh Via AS
Hi all, great if someone can help...
I would like to stop a browser refresh happening on an F5 keypress event...
So far I have this -

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {

if (Key.getCode() == 116) {

getURL("javascript:alert('The F5 key is disabled in this application.')");
_root.keyPressed = "F5 pressed";
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

I can stop a refresh in HTML by remapping the key code and returning false, but when the flash movie has been clicked on, this doesn't work. grateful if someone can let me know if this is possible.

Variables And Browser Refresh

(unless I clear the browser cache). This happens consistently in Firefox and randomly in IE. Any ideas on how I can get the variables to show up even if the page is refreshed? Thanks

Refresh The Users Browser Using AS2 ?
aloha Kirupa Community!

is there a way to refresh the users browser using actionscript 2?

my reason for this is... i am showing some sensitive material that requires an NDA from the viewer. the material is in the form of .flv movies that are embedded in my flash site. after we allow people to watch the movies i go to our servers and delete the .flv files. however some web browsers keep this in their cache, like IE. So basically i want o know if there is a script i can use that will refresh the viewers browser after we view it and after i delete the .flv files causing the .flv files to no longer be in their cache.

any help is appreciated much

Scrollpane/browser Refresh Problem
Hi there,

I have a scrollpane that is loading an external MovieClip into it. It works ok, but if I use the browser refresh button the movie inside the scrollpane will not reload. How can I make it so that when the browser refresh button is pressed the entire thing reloads including the scrollpane movie?

This is what I have loaded on the root in the first frame of the actions layer:

onEnterFrame
this.onLoad = function () {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);
loadMovie("http://MyURL.com/MyFile.swf", "container");
container._x = 0 ;
container._y = 356 ;
this.drawFocus="";
}

When refreshed it doesn't load the clip, but if I add a button and apply the same script to the button I can get it to reload... but the position is not always consistant. I really want to avoid the buttons loading the movie. How can I get it to reload on browser refresh with Safari. It works in IE fine.

Any ideas on how to fix would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Frame Window Load/reload
hi everyone,

i am having some difficulty using frames and flash. i load the page up with two frames, the top one (name="nav") and lower one (name="main".) the top one has my menu.swf loaded into it and just one of the sections requires that i pull an html page up in the lower window (name="main") which i've done successfully. however, when i navigate to another section of the site the lower frame maintains its content and i would prefer for it to go blank. in summary, out of 6 links/buttons, only one requires that content be in the lower frame window and i would love to know how to ensure that that's the case. also, is it at all possible to goto a specific frame after i loadMovie into the top frame (second movie name is menu2.swf)? any help, in as much detail as possible, would be superb and gratefully appreciated.
