Variables into flash movie - Urgent help needed, please

I am hoping this is simple:
Here is my HTML code:
<param name="movie" value="orig2.swf" /><param
name=FlashVars VALUE="sname=video1.flv"><param name="quality"
value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
I need to pass video1.flv to the flash movie.
Here is the MOVIE data. I was told this is how to do it, but
I am sure it's missing something basic.
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;
So, it should pull the SNAME variable from HTML and feed it
into player. If I type in SNAME variable and manually place it in
DirectLink line above, it works, but I need it to feed from HTML.
PLEASE HELP!!

I know how to pass the variable TO flash, but how do I get
the FLASH movie to receive it??
Again, here is the code in the FLA file
//insert sample link below
mediaDisplay.directLink = "
http://flash.xxx.com/flashgen.cgi?sname=&aname=xxxxxxxx/_definst_";
//pulls sname from param value in HTML
mediaDisplay.simplePlaylist = sname;
streamnameTxt.text = sname;

New to Flash AS3, Need help with some weird issues, have .fla link attached...

Basically, the buttons are not visible when siteplan_mc is replayeed after floorplan closes, but they still work. Most things are only working on double click for soe reason, tho I have them to function on click. and the back button only woorks on unit 1 floorplan, tho the code it the same for all floorplans. I have a feeling it has something to do with levels... but I really have no idea... hopefully someone can help!
thanks in advance,

There are at least two things you're doing wrong. You can't go to a frame where something exists for the first time, and immediately do something to it. Like in your playunit functios for example:
gotoAndStop("unit1")
unit1_mc.alpha = 1
unit1_mc hasn't yet drawn itself on stage to have its alpha set, and so there's an error. That is something that was improved in Flash 10, so if you had set the Flash to publish for Flash 10 and not Flash 9, then the floor plans and the back buttons appears ok. It would sometimes work with double clicks because by the second time you clicked, the movieclip now existed. You might be able to do what you want by having all of the room units on frame 1 of the siteplan_mc, and then set their visible to true or false as you need them, instead of doing the gotoAndStop().
The other problem is that you're trying to set listeners on the Back buttons that don't yet exist. Wait until you're on the frame where the buttons exists, and then set its listener for the mouse click.
Other things you're doing could be improved too, but really you might want to get together with someone who has done more AS3, to help you become more familiar with how it works.

Flash newbie needs help

i'm quite a newbie when it comes to flash and need some help
http://www.sas.se/sv/?vst=true
you look to the right you'll see an airplane and i'll say "Billiga avgångar" next too it
under the text you can see text in yellow being scrambled then reappear
i was wondering how you make the text scramble then display the messeage like that?

this is a better way to do it in one textfield. it's easily amended to display one letter per textfield and add textfields as needed.
(to speed up the display shorten charS even down to a one character string.)
var charS:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 01232456789,./<>?;':\"[]{}\|!@#$%^&*()-_=+";
var charA:Array = charS.split("");
var displayTO:Number
// user defined params:
// character change in ms
var speed:Number = 1;
encodeF(yourstring,yourtextfield);
function encodeF(s:String,tf:TextField){
    tf.text = charA[0];
    displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,0,0);
function displayF(s:String,tf:TextField,charNum:Number,index:Number){
    tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1)+charA[index];
    if(s.charAt(charNum)==charA[index]){
        tf.text += charA[index];
        charNum++;
        index=0;
        if(charNum<s.length){
            displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);
        } else {
            tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1);
    } else {
        index++;
        if(index<charA.length){
            displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);
        } else {
            charA.push(s.charAt(charNum));
            displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);

Problem with changing flash content - Need help

I need help in changing the flash content. Here is my proble,
1) I bought a flash template (I will call this Original) from a website and paid some money to customize my menu,logo and background color.
2) After they finished it they sent me several files. Like 1) index.html, .swf, psd, .fla. In all the files .html,.swf (the video) and .psd I am seeing my customize changes (logo,menu and background color). But the .fla file they sent me is still shows everything from original template. It doesn't have my logo, menu or background color.
3) I asked their technical support and they walk me through. a) Open the .fla file in flash pro. b) Change the content c) Hit Ctrl+Enter and it will export the new .swf file to the flash folder. d) Make sure I delete the video from flash folder and replace the name with the one I created.
I did all these steps. But the problem is the .SWF that i generated is showing everything from the orignal template. It did change the content but I don't see any of my customize request. (Menu, logo or color)
4) Then I open the index.html and I DID NOT see any of the changes in the content.
My feeling is they did not provide me the correct .FLA file. I really need your help.
My confusion is a) Have they provide me the correct .FLA file or I am doing something wrong. b) When I generated the new .swf video and renamed it properly why it didn't reflect in the index.html file.
I am really going back and forth with them since last 15 days and its not going anywhere. I really appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Jessy

Unfortunately, if you have not enough knowledge about using Flash, and do not want to pay to have this done for you, the folks who did this for you are likely going to be the only ones who can help you resolve it. They should be able to provide the edited fla and the new swf if they are in any way a credible/reliable business.... which at this point sounds like they are not.

Flash Movie Clip Help

I've been trying to recreate the flash movie they have on
http://www.comcast.net/news/
its in the middle of the page.
I have everything except I cannot get that black fadein to
go as smooth and fast. I've tried making more frames
and less frames, but it doesn't seem to make open as smooth.
Is there a way to code a different fps for just the fade in?
or
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Your attachment appears to be lost in the queue... not abnormal for the new and improved forums.
Anyways, for what I think you are trying to do you should look into using the Tween class. If you Google "AS2 Tween" the first result you get (a Kirupa article) may be enough to get you started--I didn't look beyond that one. In your case you would probably be tweening the _y property of the page movieclip. When it comes to changing pages, you might also want to incorporate a listener so that you can first tween out the current page before you tween in the new page. You can have multiple tweens working at the same time for the same object, so you might want to add an _alpha tween into the mix as well.

Flash Newbie needs help with Movie Clips/Action Scripting

Hi -
I'm having a problem with my movie clips playing
simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what I
have done wrong. I'm new to flash, so I may have set something up
incorrectly, but here's what I have so far:
11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 control buttons, each
button with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(85);
Where the number changes in relation to which keyframe the
next movie is on.
I have 10 movies, total, but they are only movie clips,
essentially photo slide shows with audio, made all in the library.
The problem happens when I click on the second or third
button. Not only does the movie that I have selected begin to play,
but all of the previous clips do as well, so it all sounds quite
garbled. I don't know what I am missing in the action script, as my
Action Layer has a stop command on it at each keyframe where there
is a new clip to play.
I have tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid
that doesn't do anything because it is not a "sound file" per se,
playing in the timeline.
I'm at the end of my rope and really need some help in
figuring this one out. My project is hanging in the balance on
this, as I have scripted everything else correctly and it runs
beautifully.
Please help!
Thanks,
Caroline

Each layer has a blank keyframe before and after each
movieclip. Each movie clip is at a different frame. Even with the
blank keyframes added, the second video starts to play and then the
first video begins to play. Same happens if I click on the third
button. Third plays, and starts 1st and 2nd shortly thereafter. Is
there an action script I can put in that will tell the timeline
that, when a button is clicked, no matter where the movieclip is,
it will stop and start the newly selected movieclip?

Can someone take a look at my project and give me ideas to reduce lag/optimize it? (relatively new to flash and need help)

Dropbox - TV_AL_Q
I really need to reduce the lag happening in this project. I know practically nothing about action script except for what I've used in this project so please keep that in mind.
Im going to try and break apart the grouped art so its in its most basic form and see if that helps, and also change all my tweens to frame by frame since those two things helped me with an animation I did awhile back that was lagging severely.
But I was hoping someone with more knowledge could take a look and see if there is anything that they know of that I could do to help fix this. I'm working in Flash cs6 and using action script 3.
I have to turn this project in by this Friday (the 20th) so I would love to get this sorted by then but even if I can't I would still be interested in some possible solutions, just for learnings sake.
Thanks.

Thank you for yet another cryptic reply, remember I'm the idiot here who doesn't understand this stuff so please can you explain things in a little more detail. Thanks.
I am using the JW Player setup assistant and it lists two types of code
The "Embed code" and the "swfobject 1.5 code" but not an Object/Embed code that you mention.
This is the code that the website is telling me to use.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/embed/swfobject.js"></script>
This text will be replaced
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject('/embed/player.swf','mpl','480','270','9');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('flashvars','&file=http://web.me.com/nathmac31/Flash/WaineWeddingHD. swf');
so.write('player');
</script>
My movie does play on through the player on the JW site, after about 30 seconds of waiting for the picture to appear. When I cut and paste the above code into my webpage, I don't get anything. I have dropped the "Player.swf" and "swfobject.js" files into the folder containing the contents of the page that I want the player to appear on.
Where is the exact best place to drop these files?

How can I publish my flash movie in one swf file in V.2

Hi
When I publish my movie to flash format , skin swf file is
segregated from main movie swf file . How can I publish my movie
only in one swf file ? I want to merge skin and main movie files
together in one swf file .

Hi Corona,
The screen size is whatever you captured or specified during
the recording or new movie setup process. This will cause the
playback control to be placed "on top of" some portion of the
captured background, but there are two ways around that problem.
1) When you set the red recording area before recording, drag
the bottom of the recording area downward about 35 pixels below the
application window (assuming you are capturing an area that
includes a "bottom" or even an application window - grin). For this
to work, it is best if you do your recording against a
solid-one-colored desktop background, so the "extra" area at the
bottom doesn't include desktop images that you don't want in the
capture (even though that area will not be visible in the end ...)
OR...
2) Use the Project > Resize Project dialog to increase the
palette size on the bottom, taking care to leave the original movie
the same size. This will effectively do the same thing as
Suggestion #1, create a "blank" area at the bottom of the movie on
which there is room to mount the playback control bar.
Best of luck, Corona, and omid02. Hope this helps, in
conjunction with the advice that Rick has already offered.

Newbie: Received Flash content - need help embedding - onClick

Hi,
I received a web banner from one of our suppliers that I need to embed into our website. I've got it into the web page but don't know how to configure an "onclick" action. In my reading I don't find a parameter to specify what action to take if someone clicks on the banner. Right now it opens a new window with an error saying it can't find "/undefined". How do I defined the URL? The vendor that gave us the marketing content has been of no help.
Thanks.

I'm new to flash and need help with some controls

I'm builidng a site that has a portfiolio of work to display.
When the visitor arrives at the portfolio page he (or she) is
faced with a split panel. The right panel displays a summary of a
client and the work. The left panel displays the work examples
attributed to that client. By clicking forward and backward arrows
in the right panel, the visitor can call the summaries of the
different clients. Landing on a client page 'opens' a separate swf,
called using loader component, that contains the portfolio of that
client's work into the left panel
1. I want forward and backward arrows located on the main
movie in the left panel to control the progress of the loaded swf,
rather than using forward and backward arrows on the loaded swf.
2. I want to prevent the forward and backward arrows in both
panels from clicking beyond frames in the Portfolio area of the
timeline.
3. I want the backward arrow to be innactive on the first
frame, and the forward arrow to be innactive on the last frame.
I have no problems making the arrows work on the main movie
controlling the client summaries. What I don't know how to do is
make them control the movement of the loaded swf, or #2 and #3.
Any help will be greatefully appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Art

Hi Art,
There are different coding methods, depending on where you
put code..
1) Frame code
Click on a frame of the timeline to enter frame code
2) Attached code for movieclips and buttons
Click once on a movieclip or a button then enter attached
code
To make an onEnterFrame event for a movieclip, first chose
either frame code or attached code method. I personally rarely ever
use
attached code because it hides code in places that can be
hard to find. Almost all my coding is frame code, but it's a
personal
choice.
Frame code method to make an onEnterFrame for the main
timeline..
// put this code into a frame on the main timeline
this.onEnterFrame = function()
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
checkMyButtons(); // once per frame we will check on the
button status
OR
Attached Code method to attach an onEnterFrame event to a
movieclip
// click once on the movieclip (don't dbl click it .. stay at
the root timeline level)
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
Those two types of code are not interchangeable. One type
must be entered into a frame and the other style must be attached
to a
movieclip or you will get errors.
Then there is the DOT syntax way to write frame code that is
equivalent to attaching code..
myMovieClip.onRelease = function()
trace("release");
myMovieClip.onPress = function()
trace("press");
myMovieClip.onDragOut = function()
trace("drag out");

Flash Gallery - Need Help Please!

Hi, I want to make an image gallery like this (see image) using Flash. The gallery uses an .XML file to dynamically load the images, so all you need to do is size your images and then add them to the appropriate folder, then edit the .XML file. The thumbnails scroll too. Can this be done in Flash? Does somebody know where I can find an .XML file that will do this.
I didn't want to use a proprietary gallery solution, because they require you to have their logo on your gallery page etc. and I'd like to design the page to my liking.
I have little programming experience on how to do this so I was hoping for some help. Are there files around that will allow me to do this? I am also open to other suggestions that might be better, but I'd like the look of my gallery to be similar to the example I've posted.
pg

If you are using MX 2004, change your Google search terms to be: "AS2 XML gallery tutorial"
The search results should be your best bet for finding advice/examples/suggestions as to some different ways to build a thumbnail gallery.

Flash picture, need help please

Hi
For a website I want to make a picture of a map to be used so
that when someone clicks on a certain area then they hare
hyperlinked to a certain web page. i have the picture, how do I cut
it up, using Flash (I'm told) so that this will happen?
Thanks

depends on what format the picture is in - was it drawn with
flash tools or imported as a raster image?
you may not need to cut it up if you want to simply place hot
spots over it that act like buttons -
this is easily achieved with "invisible" buttons - meaning
button symbols with only a shape in their
HIT state.
If you need to "cut-up" an imported image then you should
really use your graphics editor
(photoshop) for this. But if you don't then try breaking
apart the bitmap in flash and using the
lasso tool to select sections.
hope this helps.

Making a Quiz in Flash. Need help with input time

Hi Flash Community,
I'm making currently a quiz using Flash Pro CS5. What I want to implent is a time bar which will load once the bar is loaded it will go to the next frame.
So what I need is first a timer which will start immediately when the user sees the question and I need a time bar which will indicate how far the timing is. So let's say you have 30 seconds to answer the quiz. When the timer is at 15 seconds the bar will be at half.
Something like this http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http://theportablegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ question.jpg&imgrefurl=http://theportablegamer.com/tag/quizquizquiz/&usg=__xsykgRnehmB9P97 gg3W9tAx2Dfg=&h=320&w=480&sz=57&hl=nl&start=0&sig2=tdKlW2Iv6zHo3THsHwdVpQ&zoom=1&tbnid=ToM bL22o-D7BOM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=160&ei=aiz7TcGONI2gOpic0b4E&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dquiz%2Binterface %26um%3D1%26hl%3Dnl%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1902%26bih%3D909%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur =317&page=1&ndsp=68&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:0&tx=100&ty=47

Create a movieclip with tween about 30 frames and actions stop() in the first frame

Flash Novice Needs Help

I am taking a Flash class and am stuck on a project that I am working on. It is a simple 'click on the button and the image appears' layout. I have include a simple action script with button actions. What happens when I test the movie is as soon as I click on a button all of the images cycle through...there is no stop between images.
Can anyone help me. I have posted the .fla file at:
http://public.me.com/k3gbb
Thanks in advance.
George B.

Ok...making progress. This did stop the movie from going through all of the images but I am still having problems.
Frames 1-9 Nothing should happen as I want just the background to be displayed. This is the script I have for those frames:
stop();
Beginning on Frame 10 I want to be able to click the buttons and have the image that is associated with that button displayed. The script now reads:
btn1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage1);
function showimage1(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop("Label1");
btn2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage2);
function showimage2(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop("Label2");
btn3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage3);
function showimage3(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop("Label3");
btn4_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showimage4);
function showimage4(event:MouseEvent):void {
     gotoAndStop("Label4");
So now the problem is I get the sound effect when I click on one of the buttons but the image associated with that button does not appear.
Any more thoughts?
George B.
