Controling Flash movies from another movie

I have a site that has multiple flash movies in it. One on
the top level within a tablecell, the other loads into a central
iframe. I want the movie in the table cell to play when the movie
in the iframe hits a certain point, but I can't figure out the
targetting. Is it even possible to use the gotoandplay() function
to target a movie that is not within the curent movie? If so what
would my targeting path look like?
Thanks.

I messed up.
Open two files, go to library CTRL L and you can view in the
same time library of
all the open files at the moment. Than you can copy paste
simply the content.

How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

Controlling flash movie from another

hello
i hope someone can help me.
i have 2 flash movies in a page with a CMS and an iframe.
so quite a complicated structure...
QUESTION1:
is it possible to control one of them from the other one?
e.g. telling movie B to go to a label from a button in movie
A?
QUESTION 2
is it possible to controll either a target movie is already
loaded in the page or not?
suppose i need to check from movie A is movie B is already
loaded in the page
, load it in case it is not loaded, then tell ti to go to a
certain label?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will require some fancy javascript gyrations. Check out

Controlling flash movie clips...

I made a flash animation using timelines and broke my movie up into three clips. The clips run fine in their own time line. I was reading about clip.play() clip.stop() and it seemed like I could do this. I have a main timeline with three frames. Each frame has a movie clip symbol on it. Each movie clip symbol has a timeline a few seconds long in it.
I did this because I want to put a click event that will go to a different url depending on which clip the viewer is currently seeing. This swf file will be embedded into an html document.
When I run the resulting swf - the three frames on the main timeline zip along like crazy and the movie clips don't play at all. I've tried every combination of stop() and play() I can think of but this is just not working as advertised...
My movie clips have instance names of Clip1, Clip2 and Clip3. Can someone help me with
1) some sample code that works so that I can run these clips in consecutive order;
2) the appropriate onClick code to use in the main timeline frames for my url events
Thanks much.

I had to put this on hold to make a deadline and never really got back to it until just now - another similar request. So here is a modification to the code provided to me that I made and seems to do exactly what I wanted. I am not an expert at script but I haven't had a problem with this so I am going with it. If this helps anyone else - great! I never got a reply from the original poster on how to fix the problem where the script they provided looped around on my final movie clip.
This is the code I used in frame one to control the loop for the three movie clips:
var myMov:MovieClip
myMov = Clip1
this.stop();
// myMov.play()
this.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame); function onEnterFrame (event:Event):void {
// is "myMov" current frame, play head, at the end of "myMov"
if (myMov.currentFrame >= myMov.totalFrames) {
// if it is then move the main timeline on 1 frame
if (this.currentFrame == 3) {
myMov = Clip1;
this.gotoAndStop (this.currentFrame-2); }
else {
this.gotoAndStop (this.currentFrame+1); }

Javascript controls Flash movie problem

Im calling the .TGotoLabel method in javascript to display a labelled frame in an embedded .swf - The whole exchange is dictated by a a cookie script, which works fine on its own. Is something wrong with this syntax? (movieName" was defined earier in the code and is a var = the embedded .swf title)
if (!visits)
visits = 1
else
visits = parseInt(visits) + 1
setCookie("counter", visits, now)
if (visits == 1) {
thisMovie(movieName).TGotoLabel("investment_focus");
if (visits == 2) {
thisMovie(movieName).TGotoLabel( "white_papers");
if (visits == 3) {
thisMovie(movieName).TGotoLabel("third_thursday");
if (visits == 4) {
thisMovie(movieName).TGotoLabel("portfolio_strategy");
Thanks,
Ryan

Its a browser caching issue. Once you load the swf, your
browser keeps a cached version of the swf for faster loading. When
you clear the Temporary Internet Files, you are clearing your
cache, and thereby getting rid of that saved version.

Fading between two pages & controlling one MC from another.

Let me see if I can explain this properly. I usually use a motion tween and the alpha channel to fade movie clips in or out. What I am currently trying to do is fade one page out and another in, but it could be one of several MCs. I basically have four "pages" for a website including services, portfolio, about, and contact. I have icons on my navigation bar (which is going to be imported into my XHTML seperately so it can float them according to the users window size). The icons need to navigate between the pages and the pages need to fade in and out (eg. fade in the Services MC when the user clicks on the services icon, and fade out of it and into the Portfolio MC when the user clicks on the portfolio icon). Please keep in mind that the icons and pages are in completely different .fla/.swf files because I couldn't figure out how to float them in Flash after several hours of looking around online, but know I can easily do it using div tags + CSS in XHTML.
If someone could quickly explain how to "gotoandplay" a label in a different .swf file (communicate between the .swf NavBar and my main .swf) as well as fade out of the current MC (whichever page the user is currently on) before fading into new page (according to the icon the user clicks on), I'm sure I could 'fill in the blanks' from the rest of the AS3 and Flash I already know. The page also needs to fade out of whatever page it's currently on when the user clicks on the hide button (located on the page in the main .swf file). There is also several subpages on each page (which shouldn't be a big deal if I can figure the rest of this out).
I'm going to be using this same concept for nearly all of the websites I design & develop in the future and really need to know how to do this for the current site I'm working on. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to accomplish these two things.
P.S. Please keep in mind I'm not an advanced user in AS3, but am very computer savy, and have done my share of programming in the past. I looked around for hours online to try and complete this without using the forum, but have come up with links to dead tutorials and short answers left and right. I'm hoping I won't come across the same here.
From what I've read so far I believe I can use tweening in ActionScript instead of a motion tween on the timeline to fade in and out of clips and believe that's the method to use to accomplish what I'm trying to do. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I'm not looking for a "tutorial created especially for me".... Just perhaps someone that can copy and paste some code from a similar project that they have done so I understand how to do it.
You could have simply put here's a tutorial for how to use TweenLite to crossfade between four pages, and here's one that will let you pass information between two .swf files. If you recently watched the tutorials then it wouldn't take long to find them (maybe you have them bookmarked) and post a couple links.
Anyways, I just found an excellent tutorial on how to crossfade using TweenLite (found here) and an article that explains how to pass information from one .swf to another (here). It took some searching and knowing exactly what I was looking for to find them, but that's a much better answer for someone looking to do those two things than I've found here (or elsewhere for that matter).

Regarding code to call & control a JVM from another JVM

hi,
I need to communicate from one JVM to another JVM. I know it can be done using RMI. But, i don't to write in code.If any one had tried it, please reply me with the code.
Satchi

Hi Satchi,
In my opinion, RMI is complex enough that I don't think you can learn it through a forum. So please allow me to direct you to some Internet resources that I used in order to learn RMI, and I hope will help you to as well.

Control apple account from another device

My ipod was stolen, is there anyway I could sign out of my Apple account from the ipod, using another device?

lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Help needed to load a flash file from another flash file

This is a two part question - but I am sure that answering
one will solve the other.
I have a menu.swf file, and if I click on the top button it
should load module1.swf. (Which it does) - however I can see the
menu.swf file underneath the module1.swf file.
The second part of the problem is that when I click on the
top button of menu.swf, I want it to goto a specific location
within module1.swf ( say the 8th page )
If I use loadmovienum ("module1.swf",0) it opens a new window
- instead of replacing menu.swf
any ideas

Use loadMovie() or loadClip (with the MovieClipLoader class)
depending on how much you want to know about/control the load. With
these you can specify a target movieClip for the load.
Not sure what you mean by 'location'. If you're talking
frames, you can use the load's target movieclip as a reference to
the swf and use gotoAndPlay - but you have to make sure the swf is
loaded first.

Controlling active display from another VI?

Hi,
I have a VI that needs to serve the purpose of selecting different display screens. The selction process is just one enumeration that should keep one screen up at a time, but I have no idea how to code it such that is the case. I could bring up the different subVI's in a case statement but is there any way to close them and re-open them without restarting the whole process? Please let me know if I'm not being really clear.

Well, this was my first answer on these forums, and I am a bit embarrassed since I could not get it to work the way I described. I do think it's possible the way I mentioned, but there is another way.
There is a 'close panel no abort.vi' in the labview\vi.llb\utility\victl.llb library that will let you close the displays. You will also need to set up the display vi's so that they open when called, but don't close when done.
I am attaching a simple example. If you can't read version 6.02, let me know and I will upload a version 5 example.
Good luck,
Bill Kemmerer

Controlling one vi from another (auto button pusher)

The labview forums have been such a great resource, especially for someone that is not an expert level programmer like myself, that I thought it was just about time, that I tried to give something back to the community of people that have been so helpful. I just recently solved a problem that I would think effects lots of other industries, and that possibly many people have been in a similar situation.
We have a fully built labview program that tests a box that we have here. It is an actuator for the aerospace industry. But it could just as well be any other sort of electronic box. The labview code has been evolved for a number of years now, by many different developers, and is in a word AWFUL. It is just about the the most complicated and convoluted code I have ever seen. What makes it even worse, is that there is no documentation whatsoever. Imagine trying to fix the engine of a car, with no instructions as to how any of the parts are supposed to work, and you get the idea.
The time has come in our developement process, that we want to start doing some automation. The main .vi has buttons and indicators that a technician will enter information into, send it to the box, and then wait for a response (part of a testing procedure). The code is not modular at all, and it would take a VERY long time, to attempt to re-write the code as it should have been written, in a more modular fashion. So what to do?
So I came up with a concept that I am calling "automatic button pushing". So basically what I did, was perform an Asynchronous VI call, to the VI in question, and then use various references and property nodes back to that VI, to push the buttons, and then look at the responses, as though I were a technician doing it manually. Clearly, this is not the most ideal solution. The proper way to do this, is to re-do the software so that things are more modular, and then probably use something like teststand to set up the testing for it. All of those things will happen in the future, but they needed something quick that can bridge the gap, and they did not want to touch any of the original code, as that would require re-certification etc. So what I proceded to do was to create a series of sub-vi's that touch all of the various buttons, and read the indicators that I need. Then string them together in a top level .vi to create a fully automated test. Enclosed is the subVI that I used to do the Asynchronous VI call, and an example of one of the controls that I am "pushing".
I am thinking this sort of thing might be very useful for others. Hope this is helpful.....

sounds frighteningly familiar.
Unfortunately your situation is quite common. But I'm wondering if you couldn't simply have used normal LabVIEW techniques to call the code as a sub-VI.
I understand your misery. I've got code with a cluster of about 140 variables passed through a queue-driven case statement with over 100 cases. Each case can add any other cases to the execution queue. I'm not sure the original programmer understood it. I'm rewriting it.
Something like that, I would likely leave alone. You just don't know that something idepending on something that was coded incorrectly. You could end up chasing your tail.

Unless, of course, that was the scope of the project.

Control iView from another iView

Hi,
I would like to know, how I can control on iView from another iView. Is there any HowTo-Guide about this? Or a simple example, maybe a list of links in one iView and the displaying of those links in the other iView.
Kind regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik
You can do that using the client side eventing framework (EPCF) provided in EP.

Is there a way to sign in on your mac from another persons mac

I was just wondering if anyone new how you could sign into your mac from another persons mac. I seem to remember there being mention of that in the keynote for Lion or Mountain Lion. Do you have to set up a remote desktop thing or is there a basic way to do it? If so how do you do it?
Thanks,
Jon

Yes, but how you do it depends on what it is you wish to do. If you wish to control your Mac from another Mac, use Screen Sharing:

You can also set up file sharing so you can access the files of your Mac from another Mac:

Can I edit a project on one Mac remotely from another Mac?

As far as I know, you can access and control a Mac from another Mac that is not on the same network, say if you are travelling with a MacBook Air and need to access files and applications on your iMac at home.
I'm wondering if it's possible to work with Final Cut Pro X in this way. So you could access the project on an iMac from a MacBook Air, see the screen of the iMac and enjoy all the power of the iMac for editing and exporting in FCPX while controlling it from your MacBook Air.
If so, that would be so convenient, whether it be while travelling or even when at home and wanting to make a quick adjustment to something from the MacBook Air resting on your lap.
Has anyone here ever done this or know if it's possible?
Thanks!

There are ways you can access the iMac and the screen and the software but it's not useable as an editing platform. The response time over the Internet is way, way, way to slow. Plus no keyboard shortcuts work. Everything has to be mouse driven.
