Flash Volume in Director
Hi,
I have a number of flash files in .swf format that I need to
incorporate into a Director Movie. I would like the user to be able
to adjust the voume of them through Director but cannot find a way
to adjust the volume of flash files through Lingo. I understand
that if I had the original .fla files then I could assign the
volume to a variable and manipulate that through Lingo but I do
not.
sound(1).volume does not work, presumably becasuse the sound
of the flash files is not being run through the director sound
channels. I'm pretty new to flash but comfortable with Lingo so is
there anything opbvious that I'm missing?
Any pointers greatfully received,
Cheers,
Si
Cracking! Thanks a lot for that. How does that work then? Is
thesound essentaily playing through the sprite channel and ecah
sprite channel has a voume property that can be adjusted?
Either way works like a charm!

Urgent, DEADLINE : Editable Flash field in Director
Hi
Following problem
we have Flash Textfields in Director
At start the are not editable, then on demand they are made
editable - .
If there is some text in the field, it becames selected.
Not when I enter some text from keyboard, the text in flash
field
disappears. It looks, like it looses focus or something like
this
But when I press left or right arrow before and then enter
some text, the
text appears in the field as desired.
What can be the cause of this?
And another question - can I simulate klick on left arrow
from director to
flash field?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanx in advanceHi,
You need to use the USER_COMMAND in the ALV function module
{CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
i_callback_program = gd_repid
i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND'
i_callback_pf_status_set = 'GUI_STAT'
*i_grid_title = outtext
is_layout = gd_layout
it_fieldcat = fieldcatalog[]
*it_special_groups = gd_tabgroup
*it_events = it_events
i_save = 'X'
*is_variant = z_template
TABLES
t_outtab = i_final
EXCEPTIONS
program_error = 1
OTHERS = 2.
then you need to write the below FORM
* FORM USER_COMMAND *
* --> U_COMM *
* --> RS_SELFIELD *
FORM user_command USING u_comm LIKE sy-ucomm
rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.}
Here in the Form, Write the UPDATE statment to update the database table

Flash movie in director heard but not seen... mostly not seen!
Using flash i made a flash movie to use as an intro to my
director project, I imported the flash movie into director and
placed it on the stage. When i play the director file i can hear
the audio from the flash movie but cannot see the flash movie,
untill right near the end i have an image on a motion tween in the
flash movie which i can see.
Can anybody tell me why i cannot see the rest of the flash
movie?Hi Ajrobson,
I'm guessing you're using Flash 8 and haven't updated
Director for Flash 8
compatibility.
Go to:
http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html
make sure you've downloaded and installed the 10.1 update.
Then install the 10.1.1
update. This will update your Flash support.

Playing Flash SWF in Director 11
I created a simple navigation slide type show in Flash CS3
and tried to use it in a portfolio that I'm creating in Director
11. I imported the Flash SWF into Director and when I go to the
file it plays automatically and keeps looping; my navigation
buttons and actionscript 3.0 that I applied in Flash do not work
(they do work in the SWF file played with Flash Player 9). I assume
that I need a sprite script for my SWF cast member in Director, but
I haven't got a clue as to what to script. I learned Director about
12 yrs. ago, but haven't used it much since then . . . and I've
just learned Flash CS3.
PLEASE HELP . . .
Thanks
weet335Thanks for the tip, Dan! Now, I've got to ask . . . how
different is AS2 from AS3? I don't know AS3 good enough to convert
it to AS2. Where might I find some help for my AS3 script?
Thanks

Hi guys,
Does anyone has a sample on flash remoting inside director
2004 mx?
Thanks.
Kind Regards
Jun CanonigoWell, to be clear, the DataGrid component did not come with
Director 2004. A developer can copy the SWC file over and have it
available within Director.
I can tell you that any of the Flash components which were
not included in the release of Director 2004, were left out on
purpose. The reason was because there was some degree of
incompatibility at release. Specific what that is? I don't know the
specific details.
This does not mean that the DataGrid will not function in
your project. It could simply mean that data binding doesn't work.
Test Test Test is my main suggestion.
As for using the DataGrid... You have access to all the
exposed methods and properties to any component you add to
Director. Thus you should be able to uses anything found here....

Dynamic Flash text in Director MX
Hi,
I have a presentation which needs to display user-changable
messages. I have a flash file that reads from a .txt file. Every
time the flash file opens, it reads the new text, updates, and
everything is great. I'm using
loadVariablesNum("/dynamic.txt", 0);
to read the text from the file.
But, when i put that flash file in Director, the text stops
updating. I made sure the file was linked externally. I'm sure it's
a simple code fix in director, but can't figure it out.
Any help is appreciated.Hello,
The AS below works getting fresh data from a server, not sure
about locally,
you tag a random bit of text at the end of what you're
grabbing, and it
makes Flash think it's a new file everytime. I'm an AS noob,
but this might
help.
randVar=Math.random()*9999;
loadVariablesNum("/dynamic.txt?" + randVar, 0);

I have a volume slider built in flash and i want to use it in
director.
In flash it works well. While the mouse is down i can drag it
from one side to another.
But in director, it works has a simple click. The drag
doesn't work.
How can i solve this?Do you have a behavior attached to the Flash sprite?

No sound except Flash, volume control doesn't work for that.
My sound seems to be cursed. Everything else works fine for me, but in the few years I've been using Arch I've been plagued by constant sound problems. Apparently something in a recent update broke my sound. I get no sound for anything but Flash, except Flash sound is SUPER LOUD, and doesn't adjust with the volume control. Everything else, there's just no sound. Not in VLC, Amarok, Battle for Wesnoth, or other various programs I tried. I tried VLC using the default sound output, the pulse output, and even the ALSA output just for the heck of it. No dice. I was reading in another similar topic that KDE might be the culprit, and indeed I'm using Pulse and KDE. My asound.conf is the default one that comes with the pulseaudio-alsa package. I've tried both gstreamer and xine as backends, they both have the same problem. In pavucontrol, it looks like sound is playing. If I play music or a test sound, the sound bar moves, but you still can't hear anything.
Now here's where it gets weird. Selecting a device within Phonon is screwy. In the output section, the devices listed are as follows. All but the top one are grayed out.
Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)
Internal Audio Digital Stereo
Dummy Output
Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.1
Internal Audio Analog Surround 4.0
Now, in the audio capture section, the devices are different.
Internal Audio Analog Stereo
NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804)
NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804 - MIC ADC)
Pulse Audio
In that list, pulse is greyed out. Are they supposed to be different like that?
In any case... I'm at a bit of a loss. I just can't seem to keep the sound working on this thing. Any ideas?I think I encountered the sound problem too. I'm using a thinkpad T42, installed gnome, using ALSA. Normally I just enter runlevel 3 into the console, I have ALSA configed and the soundcard is well recognized. But when I play .mp3 using mpg123, everything goes fine but just no sound output (I setted up alsamixer previously, and had all necessary channels unmuted.). That goes several days. And one day, after setting up alsamixer, I also did a alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.status store, miracle the sound is there. But the day after, the sound disappeared again. Now I'm totally lost, leaving me thinking whether it's a Arch sound bug?
By the way, my system is most updated and upgraded.

Carriage return in TextArea Flash component in Director 11
Hello.
I have a very big problem now
Neither embedded Flash movies with textareas or standard flashcomponent TextArea from Director tool pallete do not react on keyboard button "Enter" pressings. There is no carriage return after ENTER button is pressed. The same with End and Home buttons!!
Please help with any advise.
Is that a common bug?
See attached test.dir file. Try to type something in both textareas and then press ENTER button on keyboard. You should realize then what I'm crying about(((
AlexeyI too struggled with this issue. If you're looking for a solution still I have written one. Used the attached script in your Flash document, I spent a few days going back and forth between Director and Flash to figure this one out. Basically what I do is attach a key listener to the movieclip containing the textfield object that on keyDown gets the currently focused textField (this way it will work with multiple textField objects). After that it determines if the enter key is hit and if it is inserts a "/n" break at the selection starting point. The only issue is if you select a whole word in the textField and hit enter a break will be placed at the beginning of the highlighted word and that word will not be deleted. Hopefully this helps.

// BY / contempt.productions inc. 10.30.09
// Director 11.5 fix for bug where dynamic textfields don't register ENTER or RETURN key in Flash sprites
// Solution involves inserting a \n carriage return wherever cursor insertion point starts.
// In Flash this adds 2 carriage returns for every hit of the enter/return key
// In Director 11.5 it adds 1 carriage return
// Change "body_txt" to represent the dynamic textField object this script is referencing
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
_global.textFocus = Selection.getFocus();
// get a string of the path to the currently focused textField object

// get the insertion point, this is the start of any selection
var multiText = body_txt.text;
// get the text from the current textField object
var theKey = Key.getCode();
// get the current keyCode (13 is the keyCode for "enter/return" key)
if (eval(textFocus) == eval(body_txt)) {
// determine if focused textField and current textField are the same
if (theKey == 13) {
// enter key is pressed
var firstPart = multiText.slice(0, selStart);
// get the current textField's text from the beginning to the insertion point
var secondPart = multiText.slice(selStart, multiText.length);
// get the textField's text from the insertion point to the string's end

Flash Content in Director MX 2004 10.1
I used director to create my shell or base program. This way I could make a shaped and draqgable projector. The main content with in this file is in a linked swf file. All animated buttons, Scrolling menus, rollovers, video and text hyperlinks are in this SWF. All the buttons and menu in this swf file direct it to other locations within the SWF or call out to URL's. No buttons in the director file call to the SWF or vise versa. The buttons, scrolling menus and rollovers all animate while running in director but wont control the SWF.
Any Idea'sPost an example of the ActionScript that runs when you interact with a widget in your Flash file, but isn't doing what it should.

Severe issues when integrating flash paper in director
I'm trying to integrate flash paper documents into director
projector, but there are 2 severe problems about usability:
1. the mouse wheel doesn't work, so i can't scroll document
with mouse
2. i see two cursor on document, the standard arrow cursor
and the simulated flash paper hand cursor; it is possible to hide
the simulated hand cursor in flash paper?
I'm referencing to integration guidelines found at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/director/articles/flashpaper_in_director.html
Please help, thanksquote:

Thanks for the reply,
i've fixed the 2#, and i've come up searching at the
mousewheel xtra, and i've got your same idea: send to Flash Paper
some command to force the scrolling, but it seems that such command
doesn't exists... or maybe it is undocumented?

Flash 10 in Director 11 (import)
Hello!
I want to include a Flash 10 -file (swf) in Director 11. When
I do this, Director dont play the SWF.
A Flash 9-file works without problems.
What can i do?You can pray and wait for a new version of FlashAsset Xtra
supporting
Flash 10 and possibly AS3. But for the time being Adobe is
only
pretending interest in Director and its customers base. Seems
every
bloody bum in NY metro is better supported by Salvation Army
than Adobe
is looking after Director enthusiasts.

Flash sprite in Director: slow, slow!
It's not a new problem but maybe there's a new solution?...
I have a Flash game in a Director projector. The Flash games
works fine by itself (not embedded in Director), but inside
Director, everything runs much slower. Is there any ways to speed
things up?
Thanks
SergeYea Flash tends to run a bit slower in director, be sure the
default
direct to stage flash member property is set.
Mx 2004 has an updated flash xtra that runs a little more
effeciently,
with an option to run multiple flash sprites in the same
memory space.
There's a downloadable director update for flash 8.0
