Counter in SWF

Is there a way to put a hit counter into a flash video? Or is that something that would need to go into the HTML file? Also I need it to be invisible, but be able to check it somehow...hah is any of this possible?
Thanks!
cmo

you can put a counter directly in flash but you'll need some server-side coding to save and update the hit count.

Count and limit the accesses to a browser based swf

I have a swf file imbedded in a HTML. Acceess to the file are controlled by passwords, stored in a XML-file
I want to limit the number of accesses for each visitor to let us say 10 visits. How do I count (and store) the number of logons for each visitor?
SharedObject works only at clienside, but iI want i serverside. The "easy" way would be to save the number of accesses for each visitor in a text-file but Flash and save... I hvave tried ExternalInterface calls, PHP etc and etc, but cant find a way that works. This is the last obstacle in a huge project. Please help.

If using a MySQL database is an option, here's a link to a tutorial that deals with all the various aspects of that.

Imported SWFs have max slide count?

I have an animation slide in my captivate presentation.
On the animation slide is a SWF file (created by Captivate)
that contains 19 slides.
When I run the SWF in standalone mode it works fine.
If I run the new presentation with the SWF imported, the
animation slide stops after 12 slides are shown in the SWF file on
that slide.
Is there any way I can fix this?

Try extending the play-time of the animation-object and see
if that helps ...

HOW can I make a .SWF default load after its first load?

When you have the SAME parent API on every page of an (X)HTML website, can a .SWF tell itself to load from a default position when a website user navigates to different HTML pages?
Here's my parent API as it stands:
http://www.playingthepoet.com/
HOW can you tell the .SWF to load from a default position once the .SWF has loaded a first time? AND from any page of the website, not just the Home page? This is an advanced .SWF networking issue. And I'm not sure if the best solution is a Javascript of if there's a direct AS3 programming solution.
The blurs and fade-ins are a bunch of timer variables and timer event methods timer event listeners. I want that intro ONLY ONCE. And NOT every time a user changes HTML pages. Please help, and MANY thanks for your time!!

Hi ,
You can set a variable say "count" on stage composition ready -
sym.setVariable("count" , 0);
On stage click , you keep checking the value of this variable -
if(sym.getVariable("count") == 5)
sym.$("Symbol_2").show();
//Here "Symbol_2" is the next button that you want to appear on screen(which is initially invisible) when the symbol_1 is clicked say 5 times.
Now, on click of a button , you keep updating the variable count -
var countnew = sym.getVariable("count");
countnew = countnew+1;
sym.setVariable("count" , countnew);
Attaching the sample for reference.
Thanks and Regards,

How to loop an swf a set number of times?

I need to loop a banner animation a set number of times, then
get it to gotoandstop on a final frame. I know in the past I could
use:
counter++; if (counter<5) { gotoAndPlay (1); }
At least for the looping part (don't even know yet about the
stop pon a particular frame part).
but now in Flash 8 I can't get my test swf to do that using
this statement. Am I missing something? (Of course, obviously I am
or I wouldn't be here!)

This works for me as well, but i don't want it to jump to the
final still frame. i need mine to loop three times, then plan
through to the frame i want, stopping there. the frame i want is
not the final frame in the swf. it is somewhere in the middle.
does that make sense?

How to unload externally loaded swf which contains 3D Carousel?

Hello to all
I am learning AS3 and have been taking on various tutorials found on the net. While learning about AS3 I came across a lesson on http://tutorials.flashmymind.com/2009/05/vertical-3d-carousel-with-actionscript-3-and-xml/ titled "Vertical 3D Carousel with AS3 and XML".
I completed the tutorial and all worked fine so I then wanted to load the swf into a existing project. The loading of the swf goes fine and when I unload my loader it is removed but only visually as in my output panel in flash CS5 I get an error as follows
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at carousel_c_fla::MainTimeline/moveCarousel()
this error repeats over and over again slowing my swf movie.
So does this mean my main flash movie trying to still play / find my unloaded 3D Carousel?
If so how do I unload remove all the AS3 that is trying to run from the 3D Carousel?
I have included the AS3 below from the tutorial page and I understand that this is what I have to remove to "break free" from the 3D Carousel swf when it is unloaded. This is where I am stuck as my knowledge of AS3 is limited - Can you guys / girls help?

Hi Ned thanks for the reply,
Ok so I have a button in my main movie that loads the external swf
stop();
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
var my_btn:Button = new Button();
var my_pb:ProgressBar = new ProgressBar();
my_pb.source = my_loader.contentLoaderInfo;
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startLoading);
function startLoading(e:MouseEvent):void{
my_loader.load(new URLRequest("carousel.swf"));
addChild(my_pb);
my_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishloading);
function finishloading(e:Event):void{
addChild(my_loader);
my_loader.addEventListener("killMe",
killLoadedClip);
removeChild(my_pb);
function killLoadedClip(e:Event):void {
my_loader.removeEventListener("killMe",
killLoadedClip);
my_loader.unloadAndStop();
removeChild(my_loader);
Then I have a button in my loaded swf that closes the loader
This is spread over 2 frames
Frame1
function closeIt(e:MouseEvent):void {
parent.dispatchEvent(newEvent("killMe"));
Frame 2
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeIt);
Frame 2 also holds all the code for the carousel
Thanks for your time and help in advance people ; )

Loading multiple consecutive .swf files in Flash 8

I have a question and hope that someone may be able to help;
this might be a piece of cake for you...
I have a container .fla movie and would like to load
consecutive external .swf files. Right now I have a play button
triggering the loading of the next movie, but what I would REALLY
like is a smooth transition from .swf to .swf using a listener so
that the next .swf will load once the previous one has finished. I
have a counter which determines the next .swf in order.
So far, my code is this:
Counter:
stop();
//SETUP OUR COUNTER
var mcCounter:Number = 0;
//THIS BLOCK IS ONLY TO HANDLE THE LOADER AND THE FIRST
MOVIE, movie0.swf
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var loadListener
bject = new Object();
myMCL.addListener(loadListener);
myMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf", 6);
loadListener.onLoadComplete = function():Void {
_level0.play();
//-------------------------<CLIP
LOADERS>------------------------------\\
function loadNextClip():Void {
if(mcCounter < 6) {
mcCounter++;
var nextMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
nextMCL.addListener(this);
nextMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf",6);
//LOADS PREVIOUS CLIP , WON"T GO PAST ZERO
function loadPrevClip():Void {
if(mcCounter > 0) {
mcCounter--;
var prevMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
prevMCL.addListener(this);
prevMCL.loadClip("movie" + mcCounter + ".swf",6);
//-------------------------</CLIP
LOADERS>------------------------------\\
Any suggestions? I appreciate ANY help you can offer. I have
been unsuccessfully looking for hours online, and can't find any
examples, although it doesn't seem as if it should be the hardest
thing in the world.
Thanks!

You need a monitor to know when one movie clip has completed
play. A simple
monitor could be adding onEnterFrame handler to the
container_mc when
MovieClipLoader onComplete or onInit is fired. In that
handler a test to see
when the loaded clip's _currentframe == the loaded clip"s
_totaframes.
Ex:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
container_mc._x = 0;
container_mc._y = 0;
var swfNumber:Number = 0;
var swfNumberMax:Number = 25;
var swfNamePrefix = "MovieClipLoaderDetectEndOfPlay_Movie";
var mclListener
bject = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
target_mc.startTimer = getTimer();
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
target_mc.completeTimer = getTimer();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
var timerMS:Number = target_mc.completeTimer -
target_mc.startTimer;
target_mc.play();
target_mc.onEnterFrame = function()
trace(this._currentframe)
if (this._currentframe == this._totalframes)
trace("Load Next Swf")
loadNextSwf()
var container_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
container_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
function loadNextSwf()
swfNumber++;
if (swfNumber <= swfNumberMax)
var swfSuffix = ((swfNumber<10)?"0" :"") + swfNumber;
container_mcl.loadClip(swfNamePrefix + swfSuffix + ".swf",
container_mc);
loadNextSwf()

Loading a remote SWF via SWFLoader Issue

I have a simple flex app which loads an external XML into an
arrayCollection using HTTPService send method. This works fine as
both a stand-alone, or when loaded into it's parent as a LOCAL file
via the SWFLoader tag. However, when I place this child file onto a
remote server and try to load it into the parent which resides on
my desktop, the ArrayCollection default resultFormat of the send
method triggers the following runtime error (listed below). I don't
think it's a sandbox issue because when I change result format to
e4x, it works fine remotely. I've been hitting a wall on this for
days now... Any insight would be greatly appreciated and thanks to
all in advance!!!

After further investigations, it appears that the problem might be, due the fact that in the remote (loaded) swf, the following is null:
var sm:ISystemManager = ISystemManager(SystemManagerGlobals.topLevelSystemManagers[0]);
sm.swfBridgeGroup <----- equals null
I tried creating the swfBridgeGroup in the local (loading) swf, but the loaded one still thinks it is null.
Any ideas?

SWF created in Flash MX 7 won't play in browser w/Flash Player 9

I just noticed that my website, which I made from a template
from templatesheaven.com, isn't playing in Flash Player 9 in a
browser. It plays in the standalone player for some reason, but
when I look at it on the web, it shows just the count-in (or
whatever it's called, the pre-load), but stops when the counter
hits 99% and the action never starts. The website is at:
www.gwhitty.com
I built it using Flash MX 7, but for all I know the template
was made using Swish, which apparently causes problems with Flash
Player 9. Anyone have any other ideas? Still plays fine in FP7, so
I'm stumped. If I open my .fla file in Flash 9 and then export,
will that likely fix the problem? Any ideas appreciated...

Hi,
I have a similar requirement where I need to show the preview of a document in a popup.
I have a button and I added "af:fileDownloadActionListener" into the button, then I wrote the following code in my bean for the downloadactionlistener:
public void showPreviewDownloadListener(FacesContext facesContext,
java.io.OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException{
DCIteratorBinding agr = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("xyz");
Row row = ag.getRowSetIterator().getCurrentRow();
String fileName = (String)row.getAttribute("FileName");
String fileType = (String)row.getAttribute("FileType");
BlobDomain file = (BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("FileData");
try {
InputStream inputStream = file.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, count);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
file.closeInputStream();
docPreviewInlineFrame.setSource(fileName);
//ADFUtils.setEL("#{pageFlowScope.docSource}", "../"+fileName);
ADFUtils.invokePopup(docPreviewPopup,true);
catch(IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
when I'm clicking my button, all it does is open a popup to view/download the while.
My own popup (with a dialog and an internalFram in it) does not get invoked at all.
Also the file that I'm referring is from DB, can anyone also suggest me how to set the source for the inline frame if the file is from DB?
Thanks in advance,

Mouse Listener works well in swf. but when upload to server 50-50 Or Unable to flip the book v2.25

Hi,
I currently using v2.25 mac bookflip. The problem I am facing is that the onMouseDown and onMouseUp works well in swf. However, when the I upload to the web server and localhost. The chances for them to work are 50-50.
The truth is I was unable to drag the pages and I have no ideas what to do, and where to the start from can anyone tell me. what to do next?
To call the MouseUp. Basically, One swf (preloader)> load another swf (main menu and selection of books) > load another swf to read the book flip which my mouseDown is here.
Here is all the codes from mac v2.25 bookflip function. I only change the setPages function to make it load dynamically.
Notes, the problem is not sometimes. It many times.
//do not change these values: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Do you mean it's firing when you click Edit?. I've replicated your code as below and it worked, try to remove the OnRowCommand run a build and then add the it again:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
BindGridwithDummy();
protected void GridMainCat_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
string catID = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
if (e.CommandName == "Edt" && e.CommandArgument != null)
if (e.CommandName == "Dlt")
private void BindGridwithDummy()
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr;
dt.Columns.Add(new System.Data.DataColumn("Test", typeof(String)));
dr = dt.NewRow();
dr[0] = "A dummy Data"; //Adds the Dummy Data in the Row
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
// Show the DataTable values in the GridView
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();

Download SWFs to cell, run in main SWF

Hey there people!
We've got a tricky one for you guys, really hope you can help
us out.
We're developing a Flash Lite 2.1 application mainly for cell
phones, and to start off we're testing on a Nokia N73.
The application needs to be able to load SWFs which has been
downloaded alternatively pushed to the phone and saved locally on
the phone.
There seems to be a number of challenges:
1) How can we address a separate SWF locally from a main SWF
on a cell phone?
2) Any suggestions on how to distribute the separate SWFs to
the phone? Push of some sort? Install SIS-file that places the
separate SWFs in correct folder that main SWF can read from?
3) Is it possible to write to an XML file locally on a cell
phone?
4) The application needs to list the separate SWF-files, how
can this be done?
As I mentioned, hope you guys can help us out!
Thanks, Andreas

ciao,
1. you can use loadMovie function to load movies localy. but
you should be using relative paths i.e. more_swfs/new.swf
2. yes, you can make update SIS files with new/updated
content, and install in same folder as the previous install. for
more on update SIS, read the makesis help in the Nokia S60 SDK
3. yes, but using a third-party .exe helper program. but i
would suggest using shareobeject to save your data. SO can save
native AS objects string/number/xml
4. you can do it in two ways, 1) put a list.txt in your sis,
and update sis files with updated list.txt 2) you can create a
sequential loading loop, ie loadVariables("content_" add counter
add ".txt") and check if the content_n.txt loads its data, if
there's no data in last loaded text file, it means that file
doesn't exist. so you should not loadmovie content_n.swf and break
the loop
note: this will show user an error message "unable to load
data", and use can abort/exit the app at this point... so, i will
recomend the 1st one ;)
best regards,

Need help with gallery showing .jpg AND .swf

Hi all,
I have an image gallery that loads images and swf-files from an XML-file. The .jpg's load and display just fine, but the .swf files won't show. The data is loaded though. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry, you're right! Didn't intend to be lazy...
This line loads the image in the loader 'slideLoader'. This seems to work fine with image files (.jpg), but .swf files are ignored. Is it possible to load both .jpg AND .swf files in a loader, or do I have to use some other method for this?
slideLoader.load(new URLRequest(unesc_xmlSlideshow..image[intCurrentSlide].@src));
Thanks again,

SWF not loading

Hello there. I was trying to mess around with flash and I was hoping I would use TweenMax to scale up a rectangle (instantiated as rect) on mouse over, and then once it is scaled up I wanted to load an swf file to its center (the swf is called CircularPreloader.swf which is a fake preloader, just for messing around porpuse). Well, I tried but it didn't work cuz I kept getting this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at scaleUp_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Here's the code:
import gs.*;
import gs.easing.*;
rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, scaleUp);
rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, scaleDown);
var myTween:TweenMax
function scaleUp(e:MouseEvent):void
     myTween = new TweenMax(rect, 0.4, {scaleX:4, scaleY:4});
function scaleDown(e:MouseEvent):void
     TweenMax.to(rect, 0.2, {width: 240.9, height: 94});
myTween.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addPreloader);
function addPreloader(e:Event):void
     var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
     mc.x = rect.width / 2;
     mc.y = rect.height / 2;
     addChild(mc);
     var loader:Loader = new Loader();
     var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Circular Preloader.swf");
     loader.load(req);
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, addF);
     function addF(e:Event):void
          mc.addChild(loader);
Any help would be appreciated.

Tried it again and this is the error I got:
ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on scaleUp_fla::MainTimeline/addPreloader(). Expected 1, got 0.

What do you think is missing?

Tracing loaded external SWF bytes

I have a file that loads 13 external Swfs into a shell. When
they are all loaded, the shell plays the files in succession. That
works fine, but I a trying to show the progress of the loading
process, but the flash pretty much freezes until all of the files
are loaded then jumps my progress bar all the way to the end.
Basically, nothing is allowed to happen until the scenes are all
loaded completely. I can't even put a revolving animation on the
main timeline to display until the files are loaded. The animation
just sits on frame one until all the files are loaded, then starts
to play, which defeats the purpose. Is there anyway to pause the
code until the first movie is loaded, hten move on to then next
movie load or a way to concurrently display bytes loaded while the
file is being loaded.
var courseArray:Array= Array("Scene1.swf", "Scene2.swf",
"Scene3.swf", "Scene4.swf", "Scene5.swf", "Scene6.swf",
"Scene7.swf", "Scene8.swf", "Scene9.swf", "Scene10.swf",
"Scene11.swf", "Scene12.swf", "Scene13.swf");
startup = function() {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("scene"+(i+1), (i+1));
this["scene"+(i+1)].loadMovie(courseArray
for (i=0; i<13; i++) {
startup();
//****Jumps progress bar 1/13th of the way each time the
loading code happens****
this.progressBar.gotoAndStop(_root.progressBar._currentframe+(int(100/13)));
The code all seems to happen immediately because the
progressBar jumps all the way to the end right away, but the flash
freezes until the files are completely loaded. Can I pause this
code until each individual file is finished loaded, then run the
next loop?

That is what I am asking. What would be the code? I already
had code that counted the .getBytesLoaded(), and would move the
progressBar based on what percent of the .getBytesTotal(). Like I
said before. The progressBar would just sit at 0%, then jump to
100% when the movie finished loading. The flash would just hang up,
then jump all the way past when done loading. In the code I have
below, it is supposed to jump the Progressbar 1/13th of the way
(because I have 13 files being loaded) each time through the loop,
but that doesn't work either. It just sits on 1 then jumps to 100
when the files finish loading even though it should do it in
progression through the loop.
