Actionscript issue

At one point in the past I made a version of this
actionscript work. Then I lost the .fla and can't figure out how to
recreate it. Furthermore, it seems like it should be the easiest
thing in the world to code, but I am lost and can't figure out what
I am missing. Please help me figure this out.
In this code, I am attempting to create a field where someone
will enter a preassigned passkey (not a login and password). I am
not trying to make this secure, just trying to direct people to
their web page without giving them complicated url's. Essentially,
in the dialog box, someone would enter something like "page1" and
then click the go button, which would have actionscript attached to
it that would load www.davinciphotography.net/page1/page1.html. I
have one on my site already that I made work, but I would like to
update it while I am creating the next version of my web site. If
you want to see how it should work, go to
www.davinciphotography.net and click "view proofs." Enter
"Julie-Samples" (Case-sensitive and obviously without the quotation
marks). The page it should open for you is
http://www.davinciphotography.net/Julie-Samples/Julie-Samples.htm.
I hope that someone has some input for me. I don't know what
my problem is. It seems so simple, and I have created this before.
Please help.

if your textfield has instance name tf, you can use:
getURL("
http://www.davinciphotography.net/"+tf.text+"/"+tf.text+".html");

ActionScript Issues

I've made a simple animation in CS6 and tried coding it in both ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0, which is also supposed to have a sound file attached to it which plays all the way through on loop. What i want it to do is play through the movie sequence -once- then loop back to the beginning of the final keyframe or stop at the last frame of the animation layer ( While the sound file continues looping. ). However, for some reason that i can't figure out, it's ignoring all code that goes in - Ignoring the addition of a sound file and continuously looping back to the beginning without playing the sound. And after closing it down and coming back to it, it's refusing to let any actions be entered in any frame but the first saying that Actions can't be applied to it.
The files are in the link below for anyone who wants to fiddle with them themselves.
http://www.mediafire.com/?s08esv5g1bl1heh
Any and all help is appreciated, so i can move on from this and avoid this sort of cock up in the future.
Thanks

I couldn't get your download to work, but what I do to get sound files to work somewhat independently of the timeline is I have a SoundPlayer Class I can't share, but I can tell you what it does. It encapsulates the back-and-forth between Sound and SoundChannel as described here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9b90204-7d21.html . It takes a Class that extends Sound, and it will create an instance of that Class on the first time its play() method is called. It then provides pause() and stop() methods, and exposes the position of the SoundChannel that is playing or the last used SoundChannel if it is paused. It also redispatches the soundComplete event from the SoundChannel.
So, where do you get the Sound Class? In my case, I use Embed in Actionscript like this http://nascode.com/2010/02/01/embedding-asset-at-compile-time-in-pure-as3-project/ . You can also get it out of the library. Just make sure the symbol has been embedded prior to when you call for it, such as checking "embed on frame n" or making sure that it exists on a frame prior to where the code will be executed. If you do put it on the stage, make sure the Synch is set to "Event."
Now that you have your SoundPlayer set up, in the first frame of your timeline (or when it hits the stage http://www.developria.com/2010/04/combining-the-timeline-with-oo.html), call the sound player instance you made and listen to for the soundComplete. Every time that fires, start the sound over. You can either stop the visuals by using a stop() on the timeline or by using an enterFrame listener that will call stop() on that MC when currentFrame = totalFrames.
Good luck!

Very simple! Very Stuck, HTML / ActionScript issue

I have not used flash for many many years, and i'm stumped on a basic thing, I can do this in action scripted but its all changed and I need to output as html and none of my action script works. If anyone could help I would be very grateful!
What I need to create is: a button when you hover over the button it tells a movie clip on the stage to goto and stop a frame, when you click the same button it tells the main time line to goto and stop a frame. In action script it works but Im not very good with it or Java and after html output nothing works. Please help been poking around for ages!

Hi Ned, heres a set of actions, basically a movie instance on the stage changes depending which of the two buttons you hoverover and when you click the either button it takes you to different points on the main stage, hope that makes sense, I pretty sure my script could be cut down abit too, but just having it work in js would be a good start!
stop();
YesButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler_1);
function fl_MouseOverHandler_1(event:MouseEvent):void {
    dog.gotoAndStop(3);
YesButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_1);
function fl_MouseClickHandler_1(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(35);
NoButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fl_MouseOverHandler_2);
function fl_MouseOverHandler_2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    dog.gotoAndStop(1);
NoButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_2);
function fl_MouseClickHandler_2(event:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop(3);

GetURL open in new TAB

Im making a flash banner that opens link in a new Window.
getURL("bla bla", "_blank");
In explorer everything works fine but in Firefox its not
working, it blocks
popups.
Is there a way that i can open link without using external
javascript?!
Or open the link in new tab?!?
Is there such command in flash?!
thanks

circumventing popup blockers is not an actionscript issue and
can't be solved in flash alone.

Layering external swf's by random request on the next level

I would greatly appreciate your help as I have been googling
an actionscript issue that seems quite simple. I want to layer
external swf's using loadMovieNum with a menu located in a main
swf. The current swf must remain as there are some transitions; the
new one should be placed on the top of the previous one. I cannot
use a scale of levels (products for level 1, support for level 2
and so on) as the clicking on the main menu is random.
Thanks in advance.

There is a menu which people click randomly, they can click
first on services and then profile, and so on... this menu is
allocated in a main swf that currently calls the requested swf into
a movieclip. My intention is to overlap the swf's called into the
movie clip. Now, the question... should I use levels for this
considering I cannot assign a specific number of level to a certain
swf as people will not click on the buttons subsequently. I hope I
could explain it better.
Thanks.

Upgraded to CS3 - Script not woriking now

Hello. Small ActionScript issue here. I've got a flash
animation embeded in a html file. If at any point you want to skip
the animation and proceed to the next page in the html course you
can by clicking a button. This button contains the following
ActionScript:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:cDone()");
stop();
And when the animation comes to the end:
getURL("javascript:cDone()");
stop();
It's been working fine until I recently upgraded to Flash
CS3. This script seems to work only upto Flash Player 6. What
changes to I need to do to this script to make it work?
Thanks. Help appreciated.

Hi. You didn't mention whether or not you're using the AS2 or
AS3 compiler. I'll assume you're
using AS3.
if you are trying to call javascript functions that are
embedded in the html page,
read the built-in documentation on
ExternalInterface.call()
AS3 seems like alot of extra typing alot of the time, but
it's neat methods for the built in Classes like this that make it
worth the effort.
Adding scripts directly on buttons isn't allowed in AS3.
You'll need to attach a listener with an event handler that
calls your script.
import flash.events.*;
package{
var myButton:Button=new Button();
myButton..addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,loadMyScript);
//function called when myButton is pressed
function loadMyScript(event:EVENT):void{
ExternalInterface.call("jsFunctionName";"parametersToPass");
hope this helps. :)

Flash Player and .SWF

I am a new upcoming Web Designer. I created two web pages for
my web site, in Adobe Flash Pro CS3, and I published it for HTML
view. I upload it to the server the page would play but when I'd go
to click on the buttons that would link to the other pages of my
website, it would not go in. So at first my first thought that
there might have been some actionscript issue going on with the
flash buttons. But when I went to the original .FLA file on the
buttons it worked fine for the folder that it was in, so I figured
let me re-route these buttons to the actual website using the
website and its directory for the buttons to link. Still did not
work, as a matter of fact when I re-checked it again using the
browser this message box open up with this error message:"Adobe
Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operations the
following local application on your computer or network:
C:\AD%20Creative%20Media%20&%20Designs\index.swf is trying to
communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
www.andersondominique.com To let this application communicate with
the Internet, Click Settings. You must restart the application
after changing your settings." So I did clicked on the settings
button, which lead me to the this website but on a different page.
I changed the security settings like it asked me to for at least
100 times today, and I am not getting a different result. Can
somebody please help me! I really need to get this website up and
running properly its for me to get a job. Im desperate! If anyone
out there is familiar with this problem please answer me or better
yet email me at: [email protected] THANK YOU!

We've recently made a number of security-related changes to how UNC paths are handled in Flash Player, and in addition, have restricted some network requests from being made for locally-executed SWFs running with local-with-filesystem permissions. These changes were necessary, as we found ourselves on the wrong side of a confluence of both old and emerging standards and conventions, and a very forgiving approaches to incorrectly constructed URLs in most major browsers.
Where we could, we added good debugging messages, so installing a an ActionScript debugger version of Flash and running the application might provide you with some useful clues; however, as complexity increases, I'm not convinced that using Flash Player to execute SWFs locally in the browser is going to be smooth sailing, and I anticipate that we'll see additional churn as we evaluate and align with the expectations of the modern web in this regard.
The good news is that we have Adobe AIR, which is designed to make it really easy to port your Flash Content, and it's specifically designed to build desktop applications, free from the complexity of browser plug-ins. As a least-cost, long-term strategy, I'd strongly encourage you to evaluate porting your SWF over to AIR. It may be as easy as just changing the publishing target in a current version of Flash Professional and distributing your application as an AIR payload instead.
Alternatively, you could stand up a local webserver and host both the content and the SWF. The really hairy edge-cases stem from the fact that we're trying to support HTTP and UNC paths simultaneously. If you're using HTTP, things are much, much more straightforward.
If you can narrow it down to the failing ActionScript call, I might be able to give you a more specific suggestion for a workaround.

FLA File Version Not Supported

I've gotten this twice while trying to convert different files created in CS4 (one was an flv). Wondering if this may be an actionscript issue?

That totally seems to defeat the purpose that many of us would use Wallaby for. It needs to support all versions of flash to
be at all exciting to use and really be a tool that beats out all tools ever created by Adobe. Sigh.

ill let you know if i notice anything before you find a solution.
also let me know if you do find the issue because ive been looking to put together a pop up window in flash but none seem to work properly.

ActionScript/javascript issues in Opera?

I have developed an mp3 player app in Flash/ActionsScript 3.0 and have it posted on a web site
for public access. It runs fine in Firefox and Internet Explorer, both on Mac and Windows
(not IE on Mac, of course). The version reported as I have it sniffed by javascript is v10.
Are there known issues with external interface and Flash in Opera?
Or issues with the Flash pluggin in Opera?
I have some other flash samples that are run with ActionScript but do not depend on
external interface and communication between AS and JS. They run fine, albeit a bit
slower in Opera than others.
Thanks; I would get my head shaved to discourage hair tearing, but I am likely to
develope scaring in my scalp if I did.

I have been working on this and have found out that my development version does now work
on Windows Vista w/Opera 10x. It will now work a bit better on Mac OSX with Opera 10x, but
instead of moving mouse continuously to get the animations run and events to register as
animation changes in response to mouse events, I have to resize the browser window constantly.
There appears to have been some problems with my flash player version detection javascript. THis
was apparent in Internet Explorer with my dev version. I fixed it for Internet Explorer and found that
Opera did better on Mac but still unacceptibly.
This is encouraging, but am a bit frustrated by the platform differences and don't know if
there are specific style sheet or markup quirks that would contribute to this.
As Flash depends on adequate style sheet and markup to run correctly in a web site,
as well as javascript, or other scripting language, It would be nice to include more instructional
material, or references to browser and platform specific issues that would effect.

Instantiate MXML component in actionscript - percent sizing issues

Hey guys,
I'm busting my head trying to sort out this issue.
I have a MXML custom component which is being instantiated in
actionscript, e.g.:
component:CustomComponent = new CustomComponent();
The custom component extends Canvas (i.e. the root XML tag is
a Canvas). Inside the component is another Canvas that wraps the
children so they can be laid out using constraint-based
measurements (e.g. top, left, right, bottom).
The component is then added to a VBox through
addChild(component).
Here's the problem - the component doesn't appear on the
screen. It's because it's not getting a width and height set
correctly. If I bind the Canvas inside it to
height="{parent.height}" and width="{parent.width}", then it
appears correctly. The problem with this is that the compiler warns
me that the binding won't be able to detect changes to the parent
sizes. This sux when I launch full screen mode because it doesn't
expand to fill the VBox (which sizes correctly).
Is there something I'm missing here? How does the percentage
based widths and heights get applied? Perhaps there's a breakdown
in the flow or something.
Thanks!!

Thanks Peter, but I've given that a go already.
I'm looking into trying to get the component instantiated
through MXML, and then returning it using it's ID. If another
container addChilds it, then the component will be removed from the
(temporary) display list it was previously added to (simply for
instantiating), correct?
I think these layout issues are only when I instantiate it in
actionscript, but further poking should reveal the truth....

Help please? Static audio, Crashes, ActionScript Errors and more issues with Flash Player 16

So, this is the first time I'm posting in here and I'm sorry if I mess up or smth.
Anyway, this is what happened:
- Firefox tells me Flash Player 15 is vulnerable
- I update to the newest version
- After the update I run into several things that are highly annoying.
First of all:
- I can't watch any livestreams anymore, neither on picarto nor on twitch. The video keeps loading and buffering, then works for a second or two and then goes back to buffering OR alternatively the video would stop whilst the sound continues or vice versa. (My wifi connection is super fast and I never had any problems until the update)
- On youtube videos only load for a second or two, then the audio vanishes and the video crashes. (Never had that issue before, EVER)
- The audio is incredibly wonky, aka, depending on the bass or sounds I hear static noises and weird sounds. (This only happens on videos that require flash, the sound is fine when playing CDs )
- When watching videos and pausing it or going back a few seconds to rewatch something, the audio suddenly is completely gone.
- Flash player crashes A LOT
EDIT: Another Issue appeared:
- When watchign videos using the Blip player (used by some websites) I get ActionScript errors which then result in crashes
I'm using:
Packard Bell EasyNoteLS
Windows 7 Home Premium
Firefox 34.0.5
Adobe/Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.235
What I've tried to do:
- revert back to an older version of Flash (but it kept telling me to update so I gave up on it)
- Try to enable "hardware accelaration" BUT, when right clicking on the Flash Symbol on Adobe's site FF freezes and tells me that Flash player crashed
- Found out that I already have hardware accelaration enabled and it still keeps crashing
- I deleted all of its local cache
- downloaded and installed the debug version
But none of it helped in the slightest.
I really hope someone can help me fix this OR that adobe soon comes with a patch/update that fixes all these things ;_____;
Thanks for reading and helping!

Just to let you know, I don't tend to send all reports but here are a few from within the last week:

I tend to submit crash reports most of the times lately but yeah--
Also, someting that really bugs me are these Actionscript errors because I can't upload a crash report for those--
(they are more rare now but still happen occasionally)
EDIT: Added photo of one of the Actionscript Errors when trying to play videos using the blip-player

Actionscript 3 Conflict issues

This project has consumed an abundance of my time and I'm ready to rid myself of it. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
There is a sound issue. The song American Pie place on entering the site. However, when the video is clicked to play, the song continues to play as the video plays. Clicking on one of the active buttons at the bottom of the page (the first two buttons are the only active ones at this point) stops the music from playing. I need this to happen when the play button on the video is clicked. And is it possible to have the music play again once the video stops playing. I tried removing the music but then the site stopped working. If the client wants to remove the music how to I do it without causing the site to go haywire?
The neon light around the building flickers but when I play the movie in flash I get a compiler error
" TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at LB_chevrolet_fla::neonGlow_12/flickerIt() "
This is the actions layer to the movieClip neonGlow
import flash.filters.*;
var audio:Sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Buzz.mp3");
audio.load(req);
audio.play();
//var channel:SoundChannel= new SoundChannel();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, flickerIt);
//addEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME, killIt);
function flickerIt(evt:Event):void{
var filters:Array = sign.filters;
var glow:GlowFilter = filters[2];
glow.strength = Math.random()*.5 + .35;
sign.filters = filters ;
I remember reading somewhere that the stacking order was determined by the order that the objects are imported via actionscript. If this is true then I know I have to redesign everything in the order it needs to be. However, if it isn't how to I resolve the issue with the baby flying in the barrel plane to fly on top of everything? Currently he flies behind the video.
I don't know if it is because something is wrong with my flashplayer but when I play the swf everything crashes after about 30 seconds sometimes sooner. Can someone also tell me what is a reasonable file size for a flash site. I'm telling my client that this site is too heavy but can't actually verify a file size.
I have all the files in my dropbox so if anyone has dropbox and want to take a swing at this please let me know and I can give you access.
I know that all of your time is valuable and you can't be expected to do the work for me so if you can just point out the issues and the direction I need to go in to resolve these issues I'd be satisfied with that. Again thanks for the help in advance.

If you are using an FLVPlayback component, look in the help documentation for all the events that you can assign listeners for. YOu should be able to manage triiggering your sound control code via the events relative to playing and stopping being fired.
As for the 1009 error...
The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is not in the display list
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

Flash / Actionscript URL Request Issue

Morning Smart Peoples.
So I have a dangerously rudimentry knowledge of Flash and Actionscript and the website I tend to is giving me issues.
We have a small Flash Movie on the site that cycles through 3 pictures and each picture links to the corresponding website when you click on it. (To view : http://www.bostonleather.com : Top Right Corner) I updated the links in the Actionscript, and changed the pictures (not my first time doing either), but this time it didn't work so well.
First time it cycles through, everything works as planned. After it loops however, all additional Mouse Event's link to the last URL in the movie.
Frame 1 Actions
play();
btn_inv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClick);
function mouseClick (event:MouseEvent):void
var request = new URLRequest("http://www.kanoycommunications.com/");
navigateToURL(request,"_blank");
Other Frame Actions are identical to this minus the "play();" function naming and URL
Final Frame is simply
gotoAndPlay(1);
Thanks.
Marc

If you are assigning different event listeners to the same button then that could be your problem. You should only need to assign that listener once in frame 1. Similarly, you should only need to define the function in frame 1, but pull the request declaration out of the function and then assign it a new URLRequest value at the different point along the timeline...
Frame 1 Actions
play();
var request = new URLRequest("http://www.kanoycommunications.com/");
btn_inv.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mouseClick);
function mouseClick (event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(request,"_blank");
Frame elsewhere Actions
request = new URLRequest("http://www.someotherurl.com/");

Progress Bar Issue Actionscript 3 Adobe Air Program

I'm currently having an issue where when I download a file from the internet, I update the source for a ProgressBar that I've created, and I set the ProgressBar to event mode, and as the file is downloading, the progressbar's value increments as normal. When I re-download the same file (source has not changed), the value of the ProgressBar is no longer accurate or producing the same value as before. Basically, the ProgressBar works correctly only 1 time when I launch my application. Is there a proper way to reset/update the ProgressBar after each download?
I've tried everything I can think of.

Right if I had to paste the code it would take several pages lol. I haven't tried using a custom progress bar, but I may look into that. The main feature I used from the Progress bar was the ability to see how many "bytes" had been downloaded and I presented that to the user. I'm using a combination of urlStream/fileStream to download the file. And the source of the ProgressBar Component is linked to an instance called download which handles all the downloading of files. So I use the progress Event to monitor when a download is taking place, and at the same time calculate how many bytes have been downloaded. This is probably not the best way to do it, but currently the only way I know how with my limited actionscript 3 knowledge.
I have confirmed at least my download class/package is downloading the full file each time even though my Progress bar only works 1 time, so it could be some of the things you pointed out that is causing it.
