Detecting when you leave a frame

How can i detect when a particular frame is left? i.e. The
user is viewing fram x, they click one of several buttons or
perform a particular action which causes the swf to move to a
different frame how can i detect when it exits the original frame
x?

I'm not sure I quite understand your question ... if the user
clicks a button that will move the playhead ... the playhead will
leave the frame then, at that time, playhead gone ...?
unless you have something else that runs before it moves the
main timeline's playhead ... but in that case then, at the end of
that action is when the palyhead will leave the frame, place a call
there to the item that needs notification ...? You don't really
need anything to detect it.

Buttons does not work if you leave button frame and return

I have some simple buttons that work fine until i leave the frame the buttons are on a go to another frame. When i return the buttons are dead. This is how aI set up listeners and handlers:
//event listeners for tour screen buttons
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, tour0_click);
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, tour0_over);
detailsMovieClip_mc.tour0.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, tour0_out);
function tour0_click(Event:MouseEvent):void
//do something
function tour0_over(Event:MouseEvent):void
//do something
function tour0_out(Event:MouseEvent):void
//do something
any idea why this is happening?

An object with its alpha property set to zero remains interactive regardless that you can't see it. When I said to make them visible/invisible I meant set the buttons' visible property to true/false as needed.

Detect when mouse leaves movie

I need an actionscript element that will detect when the
users mouse has left the swf movie. I cannot use js or anything
else as i need to 'reset' the swf when the mouse exits. If there is
an alternative solution to this problem, please let me know.
Thanks!

you can use javascript to capture the mouse position and
determine when it's outside your swf , but as of how to do that, i
have no idea. look in help or documentation (javascript
communication).

Writing email via safari link, looses email when you leave safari

Very frustrating!
i Was writing and email via a email address link on safari. I was writing for about an hour and had forgotten I wasn't in Mail, just the pop up email sheet you get on top of Safari page. (I'm sure this has changed in iOS 8- it used to direct you to Mail instead of the pointless pop up). Anyway, I left Safari to look up a map, and when I went back to my email , it appeared for one moment and then the webpage refreshed and the email disappeared.
I am assuming I have wasted and hour and there isnt a backup anywhere, so please Apple , fix this very quickly. It's pointless to have a pop up email covering up you web page anyway.
Thanks

May you can do it with automator applicetions.

Airport Express signal of Macs drops when you leave the room

My problem is as described in the title: whenever I'm in the livingroom (where the AE is), the signal is fine. A few minutes after walking out of the room and trying to get onto the network from a nearby (as in: a few feet away) room, the signal will drop and won't come back again.
I'm having this problem on a 2006 MacBook and a PowerBook G4, but not on my iPod Touch, of which I've tried both the 1G and 2G version. On the iTouch, the signal is just fine - even on the attic and on my balcony.
Besides, the AirTunes signal drops out quite a lot when playing songs.
I'm using the N-version of the AE, and it's functioning as an AirTunes station and a N-signal router with B- and G-signal support. The MacBook spins Snow Leopard, the Powerbook good ol' Leopard.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) from providing a good clean signal beyond the livingroom.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey. I normally would recommend using iStumbler, but since you are using Snow Leopard the current release of this utility won't work. Although, not free, another very good utility, that provide similar functionality, would be AirRadar. You would use AirRadar to determine if other Wi-Fis are operating in your area. In addition, you would want to look for those that are operating at the strongest signal levels and what radio channels those are operating on.
If you don't want to go the route of purchasing AirRadar, the other (free) option would be to run through each of the available radio channels until you find one where your Macs get the best signal. Also, since you do have the PowerBook running Leopard, I'd give iStumbler a try as well.

Stolen MacBook: Watch out for strangers following you when you leave store

I purchased my MacBook today around 2:00PM and someone broke my car window around 2:30 and stole my MacBook. I think they followed me from the Apple store, because they took nothing but the new computer in the package. Any suggestions on how to find the criminals? I went back to the store and purchased another one... My credit card company tells me that its loss protection does not cover anything stolen from a car! I guess I just want to tell people to store their computer in the trunk... I certainly learned my lesson today.

Unfortunately, the only way to beat this kind of thing is to have set up some variation on lojack for laptops before the theft. There are several varieties of that, mostly relying on having the machine phone home as soon as it's connected to the internet. (Machines with built-in cameras, such as MacBooks, can even take pictures of the thief and phone home with them...) In order to do that, of course, the machine must know where home is, which means that you must set it up. A brand new, still in the box, machine won't be set up yet.

When you leave your house with your iPhone, do you turn off your wifi?

Does it use up battery looking for a wifi signal?

I don't, but you can always try turning wi-fi on and off as needed vs always being on to see if doing so makes a significant difference for you. It may make some difference but I doubt that by itself will make a significant difference.

FLVcomponents keep loading when I leave

I'm using the FLVPlayback component in CS3 (progressive
downloading). I have several component instances laid out in the
site in various places. With the current setup of the site, it is
most convenient to place each FLV component instance in a separate
frame.
Here's the
LINK
First, I had a problem that the audio would keep playing even
if I clicked a button to leave the section where the FLV instance
resides. I solved this by coding the FLV to "stop()" when the video
fades out (the current video fades out before switching frames)
Now the problem is that if you leave the keyframe that the
video is in while the video is still buffering, eventually you hear
the audio from that video kick in and play.
How do I stop a video from loading after I leave the frame it
resides in? Is it foolish to set things up this way? Should I have
one omnipresent video player that merely responds to buttons on
different frames? Is removing the "source" a valid way to stop a
video from downloading mid-stream? I think there's a gap in my
general understanding of the FLV component and it's relation to the
video that it is hosting.
I'm no newbie to AS, and have been tackling AS3 with zeal for
a few months, but I admit my brain is still works better with the
visual interface, hence my tendency to let keyframes control
actions. Don't be afraid to toss coding solutions at me.
Thanks in advance

Well, I did alter my code so that the source property sets to
"stop.flv" (a non-existent video), when you leave the frame where
the FLVplayback instance resides (rather than just stopping the
video). When you revisit that video, since the source was
originally inputted into the parameters panel for the component, it
reloads the correct video. (no permanent change has been made to
the source of the component instance residing in the keyframe.)
This does stop everything, but seems like a poor way of
operating...Please still let me know what more professional way
there is of doing this.

Removing event listeners on leaving a frame

Hi team,
I am having a bit of trouble, I have l modded some code that I am really happy with, it makes buttons bounce around for the user to try to click on when entering a certain frame...
Problem.. I notice tha the code adds eventlisteners ENTER_FRAME to make this work, when you leave that frame there are now problems with null objects becuase the listeners are still on but the objects are not there anymore..
Ok so attempted solution - I can use a currentLabel on the main timeline to check if the correct frame is reached then use a function if (label is x) put listeners on else take them off... works but then I have to have these objects hidden on the timeline and then add visible=true/false to my framelabel listener.. This works but part of my functionality here is that these movieclips that move are buttons that the user clicks on and they explode and dissapear- but now they dont because I have a code that says on that frame they should be visible..
The only thing I can think of is to have a blank frame at the end of the explode and put a stop on it. Then add a gotoAndPlay(1) into my frame label code. Seems very ugly, you guys got a better way? Can I remove eventlisteners on leaving a frame? Is there a code like LEAVE_FRAME????
cheers
sub

yes, it goes in the keyframe where those movieclips exist. if the movieclips exist on a main timeline frame, that's where that code should be placed.
that code should execute when the movieclip exists. the listeners wait for the movieclips to be removed from the display list. that happens when you navigate away from the frame that contains those movieclips.

Listeners - Entering a Frame and leaving a Frame to Call a function

OK, I am trying to get the following functions to load and unload the video to my main timeline when I go in and out of a frame. I tried on Enter_FRAME but it is now working properly and load many instances.
What are the listeners I need to do to call the functions of oCoach when enetering a frame and fclickCV when leaving a frame? Many thanks in advance!
//========Scenario Movie===================
var pCoach:coach_mc = new coach_mc();
var spriteCoach:Sprite= new Sprite();
spriteCoach.x = 5;
spriteCoach.y = 30;
//----------open scenario---------
function oCoach(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
     stage.addChild(spriteCoach);
     spriteCoach.addChild(pCoach);
    pCoach.myVideo = myVideo1;
     pCoach.my_ns.play(myVideo1);
     coach_btn.visible = false;
//     pCoach.scenario_txt.htmlText = myScenario;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,oCoach);
//coach_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,oCoach);
function fclickCV(myevent:MouseEvent):void{
     coach_btn.visible = true;
     pCoach.my_ns.close();
     stage.removeChild(spriteCoach);
     pCoach.removeChild(videoVO);
     pCoach.clearInterval(loaded_interval);
pCoach.closeCoach_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fclickCV);
forward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fclickCV);
back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fclickCV);

enterframe and exitframe are loops. they aren't one time events like their names suggest.
to execute code upon entering a frame, attach the code to the frame or, better, create a function containing the code and call that function from the frame. to execute code upon exiting a frame, create an object that is removed from the display list when you exit the frame. you can then apply a removedfromstage listener to the object to call a function that will execute when exiting the frame.

when I run my code, it's going well. the problem when I switch to another scene or frame it shows error #1009 and become lagging. but the code can still running. I dont know where the problem is. I'm totally noob. ty in advance.

One way would be to remove the event listener that calls the moving function whenever you leave the frames where map exists...
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moving);
Another option would be to test for the existence of map in the moving function before you execute any code that targets it.

This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

I have an ipod touch 5th gen. storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available. IOS 7.1.2 model # ME978LL/A. My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).

Oracle Press book gives incorrect information about when you are certiifed

SQL Certified Expert Exam Gudie: ISBN: 978-0-07-161421-4
Page: 12
... and I left (the testing center) a happy and Certified SQL Expert.
THIS IS WRONG.
When you leave the exam you receive a score report indicating you have passed the exam (I beleive subject to review).
BUT
You are not certified until either:
- (1) you receive a success kit from Oracle or
- (2) it is shown on the Oracle Certview Database.
The distinction is really important as until that time you have agreed not to represent yourself as certified.
This should have read something like .....
... and I left (the testing center) happy knowing that in a few weeks time my certification success should be confirmed in the Oracle Certview Database and my Certification success kits should arrive in a few weeks.
I am forever screaming at people on the Oracle Forums not to represent themselves as certified until they get a success kit or see it on Certview and an Oracle Press book goes against this!!!!!!
=:-O
I know this is possibly apparent nit-picking in the case of this certification ... but it isn't. I've never heard of it happening, but the exam score can be revised until its confirmed (not that I've ever seen this happen ... and wold be almost impossible except for cheating). For instance the exam delivery software/configuration could glitch and deliver 1z0-051 questions instead of 1z0-047 invalidating ones result. I know we all know this is impossible but would you be prepared to stake all your worldly goods that this has never happened and will never happen.

How to clear the stage when entering a new frame

Dear all,
I am making my first website in flash based on frames. When you go to an other frame the Stage fades out. When you enter the frame you see nothing at all. So how can I clear the stage when entering the frame or even better it fades into the frame with clearing the objects & code of the previous frame.
Hope somebody can help me with this!
/*buttons naar frames*/ homehome.mouseChildren = false; homehome.buttonMode = true; homehome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, actie5); homehome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, actie5); homehome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, actie5); var fadetimer:Timer; var st:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); function actie5(event:MouseEvent):void { //klikken if(event.type == "click"){ st.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF); //Choose your color to fade. st.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight); st.graphics.endFill(); st.alpha = 0; stage.addChild(st); fadetimer = new Timer(100); fadetimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fadeStage); fadetimer.start(); } //roll over if(event.type == "rollOver"){ infohome.text = "je staat op de knop"; } //roll off if(event.type == "rollOut"){ infohome.text = ""; } } function fadeStage(te:TimerEvent):void { if (st.alpha < 1) { st.alpha += 0.05; } else { fadetimer.stop(); fadetimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, fadeStage); gotoAndStop(7); } }
Thanks a lot for your time

How do I stop sound from playing when I leave frame?

I have designed a website for an advertising agency using
Flash and ActionScript 3. In the portfolio page, I have several TV
commercials that are available to play. What I need is 1) when the
user leaves the TV ad page, I want the tv commercial to quit
playing (right now, it continues even though the user has moved on
to other pages). and 2) If the user selects a different TV
commercial without first stopping the original one, the sound for
both of the them plays at the same time. I am using the flv
playback component. The video appears to stop, but the sound
doesn't. My TV commercials are external flv files.
I have also made a page for radio ads and I just used play,
pause and stop buttons to control the sound. This page does the
same thing. The sound continues when you move on to another page in
the site. My sound files are also all external sound files.
All of my pages are just individual frames in a main
timeline. Each page has a frame label.
If this is not clear, here is the link to my site:
http://www.hammockads.com
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with this. I
have tried for weeks now, to solve this problem and I just don't
know enough actionscript or flash to figure it out. I've only been
working with this for a few months.

I have my website set up so that the portfolio page occupies
one frame of my timeline. Inside that frame, I have a movie clip
which contains the additional pages of the portfolio section. The
additional pages show examples of the print ads, radio ads, tv ads,
web sites that my client has created. Each of these additional
pages is also one frame of the timeline (this time inside the
portfolio movie clip). When the user clicks a link in the website,
it just takes them to another frame on my timeline.
The entire website is one swf file and each of the pages is
located on one frame of the timeline (either on the main timeline
or inside a movie clip timeline.)
In the tv ads page, I have a button for each of the tv
commercials. When the user selects a specific commercial, then the
actionscript calls that particular ad from an external flv file.
The problem is that when the user clicks another button (to view
another ad or chooses to go to another page in the website (which
involves leaving the current frame in the timeline) the video or
radio ad doesn't automatically stop playing.
I can't really post code, because I'm not sure what code to
post. The TV ads are currently set up using the FLV playback
feature. The radio ads are set up with play, stop, pause and volume
control buttons. When a user here selects a new radio ad, the one
currently playing stops and the new one starts, but when the user
chooses to go to another page without first stopping the ad from
playing, it continues to play.
On the TV ads page, nothing is really working except that the
ad plays and stops when it comes to the end. I'm thinking that I
may need to go back and re-code the TV ads to play without using
the flv playback option.
Any thoughts? I hope this is a little bit clearer.
