Simple Flash Detector (k)

I need a SIMPLE flash detector for flash 8.
I have been using the Dreamweaver behavior method for years.
But with
Flash 8 it doesn't work.
I have downloaded the Flash Detection kit, but am having a
hard time
making heads or tails of it.
Why is this difficult?
-Kirk

I have since changed this page to the Actionscript method
with 8.0.0
selected.
Works fine for me, but not for my client.

4 Simple Flash Questions that Are Stumping Me!

What is the Frame Rate for Web Animations
Q1. I am making an animation which will be played on the web. What is the default frame rate (fps) of Flash CS5? And what is the frame rate of for web?
Q2. My animation needs to be 30 seconds long. So at 15 fps that would mean I need to use 600 frames in Flash?
How Do I Mask everything so all I see is the Content on the Stage?
I have a wide image that extends past my movies stage size so when I preview my movie the image is visible. How do I mask out anything that extends past my movies window size? I believe I can create a layer named "mask" and place it above all other layers, but I forget how to make the mask. Any help is appreciated.
How to Fade a Graphic
I have a graphic element (some type) and I want it to fade from 0% to 100%. In older versions of Flash I could just select the symbol and then set it's alpha value to 0%, move a few keyframes and then set the alpha to 100%. Voila! but now it doesn't seem to work that way. How can I do this in CS5?

Ned, it says 24 fps which means there is 24 frames per second so each 24 frames is 1 second.

1 You can create your character as a movieclip and copy/paste that movieclip from one file to another. 2. One way to create a movieclip is to copy all the frame of the animation's timeline (select them all, right click the selection, choose Copy Frames), then create a new movieclip symbol (Insert -> New Symbol...etc) right click on its only keyframe and chhose Paste Frames. THat will put all the layers and frames you copied into the movieclip The only way to come close to being certain about the timing of you animation is to use code to keep track of the time, something like getTimer().. The frame rate that a file plays at is not a reliable means of dictating the time it takes due to a variety of factors which include the amount of content you are trying to process and performance limits of the user's machine.

Need simple flash that plays a sound, urgent!

Hey,
I haven't worked with flash for a long time and don't have it installed on my computer... But I need a very simple flash to can play a sound once.
All it should do it so recive an url to a wav file and play it without display anything, thats it. So if anyone here could make on it would help a lot as I won't de able to do it myself.
It is very urgent and the background to this problem is that i have a website that should play a sound at a certain time but the technic I use now don't work on all computers/browsers/security setting (or what ever the problem is that I can't find). There was a complicated flash before that worked but it was to hard to update with all logic so I had it replaced so that the logic is on the page and not in the flash.
Hope you can help me.
Filip

var snd:Sound=new Sound ;
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var isplaying:Boolean=false;
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest(soundUrl.text);
var pos:Number=0;
loadSound.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,soundLoad);
function soundLoad(event):void{
snd.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,ioerror);

Where can i find simple flash play/stop button tutorial

Can anyone help me where can i find simple flash play/stop
button tutorial. All i need to import a icon play/stop button, when
click it load wav file.
How can i attach media.fla
when u click btn
on(release) {
CodePlayer.start();
on(release) {
CodePlayer.stop();
action script
CodePlayer = new Sound();
CodePlayer.loadSound("ContactUs.wav",true);

OK your sorta close. the .wav file "ContactUs.wav" couldn't
be too large a file, and you can't use 'loadSound' with a .wav, it
would need to be an mp3 file and you also have it set to be a
streaming file, which I would image is not necessary.
So under File>>import select the wav file and add it to
the Library. Select it, right click, and select 'linkage'. Enter a
name for the identifier like 'contact_id' and hit OK. Now go back
to your code on frame one, main timeline and change the code you
have to:
var CodePlayer:Sound = new Sound();
CodePlayer.attachSound("contact_id");
Now in your button handlers change to:
on(release) {
_parent.CodePlayer.start();
on(release) {
_parent.CodePlayer.stop();
}

Where can I buy the code or buy the book to make a simple flash game?

I need to make or buy a template for a simple flash game for a clients website. It has to be legit to buy. It is about 5 pages long. You are asked a question, you select a radio button for the answer to the question, it compiles all your answers and gives you a result.
I know flash pretty well but ccording to budget and time.it is best not to have to experiment.
Let me know, I appreciate the imput!

Can't get simple Flash document to post to web site.

I have created a simple page in Flash CS4 for my class and for some reason when I go to publish the page online all I get is an empty page colored blue (background) but neither the title or any of the graphics or images on the page show up, it is kjust a blank blue page on the web browser. I really need an explanation for this so that I do not fail the project. Please help!!
This is the link to the page I am getting and if you can please view the source code and tell me what in the world is wrong:
http://zlloyd1.com/MachoaNorfolkHistory.html I know it is something to do with the paths to the image files but they are all present in my online images folder and I do not know how to modify the HTML file created when you publish a Flash document. I do have some experience with HTML coding but this is not something I recognize. I will await your reply!!
Lost,

Dear Adobe Support,
I am not entirely sure how to add attachments to a forum post. Could you please explain this to me and I will be more than happy to attach the swf file?? I will await your reply and thanks again!!

Help! Convert simple Flash AS2 code to AS3

Hi everyone,
I'm a Flash beginner and followed a tutorial: http://www.webwasp.co.uk/tutorials/018/tutorial.php ... to learn how to make a "live paint/draw" effect. I didn't realize that if I made something in AS2, I wouldn't be able to embed it (and have it work) into my root AS3 file, where I've got a bunch of other stuff going on. I've tried following tips on how to change AS2 code to AS3, but it just doesn't work. I know it's simple code, and that some genius out there can figure it out, but I'm at a loss. Please help!
Here's the AS2 code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myLine", 0);
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
   myLine.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
   ranWidth = Math.round((Math.random() * 10)+2);
   myLine.lineStyle(ranWidth, 0xff0000, 100);
   _root.onMouseMove = function() {
      myLine.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
   _root.onMouseMove = noLine;
Thanks in advance!
Signed,
Nicolle
Flash Desperado

Considering the code is on timeline:
var myLine:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(myLine);
var g:Graphics = myLine.graphics;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
function onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
     var ranWidth:Number = Math.round((Math.random() * 10) + 2);
     g.clear();
     g.lineStyle(ranWidth, 0xFF0000, 1);
     addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
     addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);
function onMouseMove(e:MouseEvent):void {
     g.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
function onMouseUp(e:MouseEvent):void {
     removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMouseMove);
     removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseUp);

Setting up Simple Flash mp3 Player

I have a page with some links to mp3 songs.
I would like to set things up so that when user clicks a mp3 link, a small flash mp3 player (embedded in the page) starts playing with that songs. The user could click on another song that would replace the last one at any time and have basic controls.
- flash mp3 player - need 1 that has start / stop and volume buttons (simple)
BTW: I set this type of thing up in the past with a frameset - top had quicktime player embedded - and bottom song links went to top frame - all was fine but kind of bulky.... looking for something a bit slicker...
Also would like to do the same for flash / quicktime videos
Also if there's something free or close to free that is a jukebox type where the song list is part of flash - that might be fun too....
Thanks in advance - dave

Need advice on making a simple Flash video file. Trying to accomplish two things.

I have some video files (.avi) that I am trying to convert to a Flash video format. I am trying to export it to a Flash player to go into a Powerpoint file. With this, I am trying to accomplish two goals:
1. To have the short clip (15sec, 30fps) endlessly loop, like an animated .gif.
2. To allow the user to click on the video player and drag left/right to ff/rew.
The video itself is a turntable animation. One of our products is making a complete 360degree turn. By allowing the user to grab and drag, it will simulate them rotating the model.
So far, I have already accomplished Goal 1. I made a new Actionscript 3 file, imported video (embed flv in swf and play in timeline), and then made the video loop on the timeline. This seems to export properly, and the video loops as needed. The only thing I can't figure out is how to make the video "interactive" and let the user drag left/right.
For context, I have never used Flash before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This will come down to essentially moving the playhead of Flash based on the movement of the mouse. It's certainly not going to be smooth however, you'd need a timer to be responsible for moving your playhead and reversing spatial compression is very CPU intensive (moving backwards on the timeline). I'd recommend having a forward and backward version of the video so you could flip between them but if you're new to flash you're already in way above your head.
Add a new layer and try adding this example script (or Download Source example here, saved to CS5):
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// make sure we don't trip this frame twice
if (!stage.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN))
          // stop playhead
          stop();
          // set state (forwards? backwards?)
          var movingForward:Boolean = true;
          var curFrame:int = 1;
          var mouseStartX:int; // used later to determine drag
          // detect mouse click and drag left or right
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseF);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseF);
          // create new timer to control playhead, start it
          var phTimer:Timer = new Timer(33,0);
          phTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, movePlayheadF);
          phTimer.start();
          // function to control playhead
          function movePlayheadF(e:TimerEvent):void
                    curFrame += movingForward ? 1 : -1;
                    // validate frame (60 total frames)
                    if (curFrame > this.totalFrames) curFrame = 2;
                    else if (curFrame < 1) curFrame = this.totalFrames;
                    // goto the next frame
                    this.gotoAndStop(curFrame);
          // function that controls the direction variable
          function onMouseF(e:MouseEvent):void
                    if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)
                              // user started touching, record start spot
                              mouseStartX = int(stage.mouseX);
                    else if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP)
                              // user let mouse go, determine direction change (swipe stype)
                              if (stage.mouseX > mouseStartX)
                                        // swiped right, move forwards
                                        movingForward = true;
                                        trace('Moving forward now');
                              else if (stage.mouseX < mouseStartX)
                                        // swiped left, move backwards
                                        movingForward = false;
                                        trace('Moving backwards now');
This is pretty simple. In the example source link above an object on the timeline (nice ugly red circle) moves right over 60 frames and then left over 60 frames (120 total). Consider that your movie.
A timer ticks at a speed of 33ms (30fps). This is where it isn't necessarily going to be too smooth with video. If you increase it to 60FPS then decrease the timer by half (16.5ms), season to taste. Each time the timer goes off the playhead is moved, either forwards or backwards.
To know if it should go forward or backwards a simple variable (movingForward) keeps track of the last 'swipe'. The swipe is simply captured when a user touches the screen (mouse/finger), moves in a direction and then lets up. If they moved to the left the direction will be reverse. If they moved to the right it will move forward. This doesn't take into consideration any more than that logic, but illustrates how you can watch the mouse for movement and "do something" based on it.
A very simple validatior in the timer event function checks to see if the next frame (in either direction) is valid and if it's not, it corrects it so it stays within your videos timeline length.
Note there is a MOUSE_MOVE event you can try to hook to which can be used to literally let the user drag the video forwards and backwards the amount they drag their finger/cursor. Also if this is some kind of circular surface like a record spinning, the direction the user moves the mouse based on where they touch the record would change which direction they expect it to move. Etc etc..
That should get your feet wet in how much you need to consider for your project.

Simple flash slide-show

Hi,
Can someone help me find a simple images slide show that has
nothing on it but displays and fades from one image to the next in
an images directory?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

I googled "flash slideshow" and got 25,200,000 returns ;)
www.kirupa.com has one (loads external images)
and www.gotoandlearn.com might have one.

Simple flash web form tutorial

Can anyone point me at a simple tutorial for building flash
forms for a web site (e.g. a contact us form).
I've been searching the web and support here for a few hours
and every path I've gone down has had a hang-up (e.g. component
parameters missing in my Flash version -- MX) or just doesn't work.
I'm 90% there in one version, but the input text data is
being passed as "_level0.name" instead of the data entered in the
"name" input field.
thx a bunch!

hi,
visit www.gotoandlearn.com. it has a video tutorial for a
contact form.

Simple flash-aspx communication troubleshooting

Hi, I encountered a strange phenomenon:
When I try to
send_lv.sendAndLoad(parserUrl, result_lv, "POST");, the
variables are sent & loaded OK to and from an ASP page (simple
email form submission is what I need).
BUT, whenever I try to direct the parserUrl to an ASP.NET
page, Flash traces that it cannot even open it:
Error opening URL
http://someurl_that_works_outside_of_flash/test.aspx
the ASP and ASPX pages are very simple (response.write
("&msg=1"), and contain no other charachters).
Frustrated,
Tal

"Error opening URL"
Generally means the URL is not valid.
If the sendAndLoad URL can be sent in a web browser it should
work inside the Flash IDE.
Since you are showing a variable, parserUrl, here:
send_lv.sendAndLoad(parserUrl, result_lv, "POST");,
you need to trace that variable to be sure it contains the
URL you think and then paste what the trace shows into a web
browser to verify. A simple space in the URL could be a
problem.

High score in simple flash game

Hello
I wrote a simple shot em up flash game and assigned a
variable for score. Now I want to be able to ask players to enter
their name and record the highest score.
As you can guess I'm a relative newbie, still ploughing my
way through action script tutorials. If there is a quick solution
I'd appecreciate a response. I just don't know where to get
started.
