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.

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

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.

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); }

Problems inserting flash movie into webpage

I am trying to insert 2 different flash movies on one webpage
One is a banner made in flash cs4 that works fine.
The other is a movie that I encoded with flash cs4 from a m4v file. When i test this file using the flash player on my computer everything works fine.
When i try to play on the webpage it shows there is flash object in dreamweaver but is blank in webbrowser.(right clicking shows there is flash there but nothing loads)
I have managed to get the movie working on a completly blank html file except that there are no controls (controls work fine in the flash player on computer)
As far as I can deduce it's not the html file because one swf file works ok
It's not how i'm inserting it onto the page because dreamweaver is doing it for me(and including the nessecary javascript etc)
It's not the movie because that works in the flash player on it's own.
So i'm stumped
any ideas guys?
(if it's any help the webpage it's on is www.csdrummer.co.uk , click on top right image on sidebar, has play button, under navigation)
Thanks
Jamie

I'm sorry I missunderstood the post from earlier. If I add the flv file in dreamweaver and upload the corresponding swf all works well but the flv file is 45mb which is a bit large for a 3 min video.
What i would like to do is turn this into a swf file. But this is where the problem is happening. THe swf when i export from flash wont work, comes up in the browser as doesn't load

How to control Flash Player 10 with Javascript?

Are there any turotials or examples of controlling Flash Player 10 from a web page with javascript? I want the player to pop up when I mouseover a thumbnail image and play a short relevant flv file. When the mouse moves away from the thumbnail the player should disappear. I imagine I'm going to have something like
<img src="thumbnail.jpg" onmouseover="javascript: [call flv player with .flv name and parameters to autoplay with no controls )">
but I don't know what the javascript code should be and I don't know how to embed the flv player in my HTML so the javascript code can call it.
Thanks for any help.
Steve

it would be nice if someone can suggest a solution.because i ve the same problem.

Hi users,
Thanks for reply.
Actually the problem is -
For portrait dimensions are -
width 20
height 30
for landscape , obviously it will be
width - 30
height - 20
Thus , for second page - table width is 20 while page width is 30 and so 10 cm space remains blank on right side of page
user says that right side should not be blank, rather you extend table width to whole page width.
thats where the problem is

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash
<div id="flashContent">

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Javascript error when adding Flash movie to DWCS3

When I try to add a Flash movie to a page in DW CS3, I get
the following message:
When executing onClick Options.htm, the following Javascritp
Error(s) occurred:
At line 55 of the file "I:\Program FIles\Adobe\Adobe

At line 55 of the file "I:\Program FIles\Adobe\Adobe

If I click through the error messages, I finally get the
movie on the page and it seems to display okay in IE6 ahd FX.
I don't get the error when I load a Flash movie if I use DW
8.
Do I need to reload DWCS3? Or is there a fix that I can
download. It seems to be a problem with DWCS3.

Controlling captivate movie with JavaScript

Hi,
I am trying to use Flash methods to control a captivate movie
using procedures documented in the support center article:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/publishexport/scriptingwithflash/scriptingwithflash_03. html
I am using the following code in a JavaScript:
var movie = window.document.Captivate1;
movie.StopPlay();
Captivate1 is the object ID assigned by Captivate when it
generates the HTML file. The movie does not respond to the command.
I have created my own Flash movie and the StopPlay command
works with it.
Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide!

Captivate SWFs don't respond like other Flash movies. You can
use similar techniques, but must use some specific, legacy "control
variables" that are hanging around since the RoboDemo days:
To pause a movie, use rdcmndPause = 1;
A good place to find more details is here:

Controlling Flash timeline with Javascript

I have a project I'm taking over from a Flash designer. The
way he created the project isn't the way I would have done it, and
I'm trying to salvage what is there. My question: Is it possible to
control the timeline of an .swf from Javascript?
Basically, the movie has four different sections, each noted
with a frame label. I'd like to be able to have the user click on a
text link in HTML, and using javascript, load the movie in a new
window, and immediately go to the frame label specified.
Is this possible?

Yes, Flash and Javascript can communicate. I would try using
the toolkit from

Update Problem - Flash movies having an activation before CLICKING

For some reason all flash movies have a white border around
them until you click now. This means that buttons cannot be clicked
until after this has been done. Kind of ruins the smothness of
everything and I was just wondering if everyone else is seeing the
same thing. My website is "www.FrankRuebelDesigns.com" and this
problem is a nuisance. If anyone knows where to bring this up so
that there will be another update to fix the problem please let me
know and I will do so. Thank you.

Problems with fullScreenSourceRect in nested Flash movie

I've got a Flash movie I'm updating to add the fullscreen
property to my clients' videos. Problem is I've added all the
necessary ActionScript and HTML code as Labs suggests and the
fullscreen property does work but not exactly. The video FLV
Playback component is nested inside of another .swf movie via an
empty movie clip on the stage. And that MC is not at 0,0. Problem
is when I go fullscreen even though I get the right width and
heights of the rectangle from the fullScreenSourceRect property.
The X and Y are out of wack and not in the right place. So is there
a way I can change the following property so it knows where X and Y
really are instead of 0,0?
Stage["fullScreenSourceRect"] = new Rectangle(
feature.x, feature.y,
feature.width, feature.height);

the CSS z Index setting is the ticket...

How to control a loaded flash movie? Please help!!!

Hello everyone
I'm creating a web site with multiples swf files, the navigation is controlled via drop down menu, i have resolved the script for the drop down menu main buttons and i need to control the timeline of the movies loaded with the drop down menu main sub buttons to navigate into specific frames
this is what i got:
stop();
var myrequest:URLRequest=new
URLRequest("HomeSonny.swf");
var myloader:Loader=new Loader
myloader.load(myrequest);
stage.addChild(myloader);
//main buttons
menu.nosotros.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickmouse);
//menu.islas.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickmouse);
//subButtons
menu.historia.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subMenu);
//event listener main buttons
function clickmouse(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     trace("click")
     myloader.load(new URLRequest("swf/"+evt.target.name+".swf"));
//listener loaded movie
myloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, subMenu);
//event listener sub buttons control loaded movie
function subMenu(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     trace("clickSub")
     var mycontent:MovieClip=evt.target.content;
     mycontent.gotoAndStop("historia");
the problem is when i click the drop down menu sub button, does not go to the label frame of the loaded swf fil.
What am i doing wrong?
sample in the file....
thanks for watching.........

See code and comments below. I don't guarantee that it will fix all your troubles though - you have big flaws in the logic:
stop();
// declare this var here so that is accessible
var mycontent:MovieClip;
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("HomeSonny.swf");
var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
// you need to add listener here - before you start loading
// also you shouldn't mix loading with mouse click
myloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoad);
myloader.load(myrequest);
// since your content changes - you shouldn't add it here
// stage.addChild(myloader);
//main buttons
menu.nosotros.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickmouse);
//subButtons
menu.historia.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, subMenu);
function onFileLoad(e:Event):void {
     // remove previous content
     if (mycontent) {
          removeChild(mycontent);
          mycontent = null;
     mycontent = evt.target.content as MovieClip;

Adobe Flash Player Problem: "Movie Not Loaded"

new user to mac.
i'm getting more and more frustrated with this computer.
what's bugging me the most right now is
i am unable to view videos on certain websites.
rather than showing the content,
a white box appears.
when i right click on the white box,
it says "movie not loaded" (in gray) and adobe flash player 9 (in black).
i can't click on the gray line.
when i click on the black line, it brings me to the adobe website and tells me adobe flash player 9 has been successfully installed.
i am fairly sure this has nothing to do with heavy traffic.
any insights on how to resolve this issue?
cheers.
