Window Component in Loaded Movie

I have a window component inside a "main" movie that is
loaded into a loader movie.
When the main movie is run on its own, the window displays
correctly. However, when the loader movie is run, the window shows
at a 5-pixel size. I'm using the alert component as well-- could
this possibly interfere with it?
What I've tried:
- adding the window component to the loader movie library
- removing the window component from the loader movie library
- adding the window component to the loader movie stage
- removing the window component from the loader movie stage
- adding the alert component to the loader movie library
- removing the alert component from the loader movie library
- adding the window and alert components to the loader movie
library
- removing the window and alert components from the loader
movie library

Components don't work when loaded into a parent. The only
real solution
would be to create your own combo box.

Use flash player ActiveX component to load movie from resource

How can I use a Flash Player 9 ActiveX component to load
movies into my application from program resources.
Thank you in advance.

try this:
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = onText();
features_lv.load("safetyFeatures.txt");
function onText(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {

Window Component with Loader Component

I have the SWF loading into a shell using a Loader component.
Within one swf is a trigger for a window - which ,suprise suprise,
doesn't work. It works fine if I access the swf directly just not
when loaded through the shell. I have added the component to the
shell fla and then although a window component loads up, the
content (which is linked in the library) is not found. Anyone come
across this before?

There is a discussion of modules and popups on my blog

Window Component Properties

Hi, I'v inserted a Window Component to my movie and got it
all to work perfectly. Now the problem I am having is that I want
to insert another windows component but it will not let me change
the Linkage Identifier...I can't even see the properties of the
component. Every time I dbl-click on it, it says; "Create an
instance of this SWF symbol and edit its properties using the
Parameters panel...".
Can anyne help me? What I want is to have different window
components in my movie that each get executed by the click of
corresponding button.
Thank you

You are seeing that alert when you double click on the
component in the Library. That is your "master" component. To set
or change the properties of a component instance by selecting the
instance on the stage and then opening the Parameters tab of the
Properties window.
If you want a second Window component in your movie, just
drag a new instance of the component from the Library window, give
it an instance name and set unique property values for that new
instance.

Problem loading window component more than once

I have a swf with a button that opens a window component
(from my library). it loads fine and also closes fine when I click
the close button in the window. but when I try to open the window
again, it actually loads again, but it stalls and locks up
immediatley. can anybody tell me what is wrong with my code? I also
was going to have different buttons to open different windows (each
swf playing a song and has written lyrics). it does the same thing
when i load the first window, close it, then try to open a second
window. it stalls and locks up.
please, I really need some help!

Ok it sort of works... here is my code:
on (release) {
trace("button works");
win.title = "Yellow Birthday Package";
win.closeButton = true;
win.contentPath = "yellowPack";
win.setSize(550,500);
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.click = function(){
win._visible = false;
win.addEventListener("click",listener);
It order to make it work, the window component has to be on the stage but i want it to popup only when the user clicks on the button. So the window should be hidden/invisible when the page first loads. I tried changing win._visible = true; but that did nothing.
The other problem is that the movie clip inside the window, isnt aligning center. i can only see a corner of the movie clip. in the top left. I havent tested the whole thing live though!

Loading Window Component with Button!

Hello! I found two tutorials that both contain pieces of what i am looking for but i cant seem to figure them out and get exactly what i want. Here is the first one:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveD ocs_Parts&file=00004289.html
In the first one, the general idea is what i am looking for. Except that i want to load a movieclip and not an image. My problem in this one is the button component that is used. I have no clue how to skin or customize the button, and i cant find a good tutorial to help me so i figured it might be easier to just change the actionscript for this. I want to be able to create my own button (instance button) and use that so that when people release that button, the movie clip pops up!
Now in this second tutorial that i found:
http://www.getw3help.com/2008/07/window-component.html
Its pretty much exactly what i want and it loads a movieclip. Problem is, when i add the code to a button, it doesnt work!
Can anyone help me? Hope i am clear in my explanation!
Thanks!

Ok it sort of works... here is my code:
on (release) {
trace("button works");
win.title = "Yellow Birthday Package";
win.closeButton = true;

Close popup window from loaded movie

I have an html link which launches a flash movie into a
separate html window. The flash movie then loads another movie into
level 10. from this level, I am trying to close the flash movie and
its associated html page using the code:-
javascript:window.close();
This doesn't work. It closes level 10, but leaves level 0 and
the html page intact. How can I resolve it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have carried out a simple test using the above code to
close a single swf with no loaded movies. This works. However, when
I try to load a movie into a higher level and close the whole movie
together with its html page from there, it doesn't work.
Thanks

How To Use a Custom Close Button In Window Component

Hello,
I have a window component, with the default close button
turned off, and a new custom close button added to the movie clip
that is displayed inside the window component. How do I get a click
on the close button to close the window?
This is the code I currently have to create the window (and
the listeners to close the window using the default close button):

basicalyyou have to use
myWindow.deletePopUp();
if my memory serves the content mc is loaded into a mc called
contentHolder, inside the window component, so
if you are referencing the window from the scope of your
loaded mc it will be
this._parent._parent.deletePopUp();
or if from the button's scope
this._parent._parent._parent.deletePopUp();
try traceing the parantage down til you hit the window.

Window component / external swf - plz help :( !!

Hi,
any clues here would be appreciated, its kept me up lately.
My flash app consists of a main swf, a button on the stage
which when clicked creates a Popup and loads an external swf like
so
myWindow = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopup(_root,
mx.containers.Window, true, (title:"My Title",
contentPath:"Status.swf"});
so far so good...
After I create the window and load the external swf I use
LocalConnection to pass values between the swfs eg.
sendingLC = new LocalConnection();
sendingLC.send("lc_name", "myMethod", txtUniqueID);
now i can pass values between swfs fine if I run the swfs in
separate players (or debugging both swfs in flash mx), but I cannot
pass in a value to a swf that is loaded in a window component into
the main swf
Would be really grateful if someone could post a sample fla
of the Window component loading external swfs and passing values
between the swfs or some ideas about how to achieve the same thing.
Thanks
Mike

Window component drag issue

Hi all,
I've got a problem with a Flash application I'm developing.
I'm creating an application with multiple nested screens, each of
these screens is a Window component. The problem that I'm having is
that if I move a Window by dragging it then set its "_visible"
property to false then set it back to true, any other components
inside it appear empty (for example text areas lose the text
within, data grids lose the data within etc), sometimes you'll also
get two copies of the Window!
It's really easy to recreate!
If anyone knows any way around this, I'd greatly appreciate
it...
Thanks,
Lee.

Bump :-)
Anyone?
Thanks in advance!
Lee.

Probably because photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though they remain on your devices (up to 1000 photos) until you delete them. These photos are probably the ones added in the last 30 days. To view the others, you can either create a shared photo stream with the others and invite yourself, or you can open them on your device and use AirPlay to stream them to your Apple TV.

This depends on the type of server from which you are downloading the files. For example, if you are downloading the files from an HTTP server, and the server provides "Last-Modified" values in the HTTP response headers, you could use the following ActionScript code to determine those values:
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.example.com/");
var urlStream:URLStream = new URLStream();
urlStream.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS, statusListener);
urlStream.load(urlReq);
private function statusListener(event:HTTPStatusEvent):void
    for each(var header:URLRequestHeader in event.responseHeaders)
        if(header.name == "Last-Modified")
            trace(header.value);

Why Can't I get Idvd window up to drag movie from iMovie. OS 10.8.5 idvd is from iLife '11

Have just bought update iLife 11 and installed idvd. When I open it, it just spins 'load themes'. I dont want to use the themes - I just want the Idvd window to come up so I can drag the movie into it, loop it and burn the dvd.
Thannks for your help - I don't know much about this stuff!

Themes must be installed and used for iDVD to work. It's the nature of the beast.
Did you do a custom install? Check in your HD/Library/Application Support folder to see if there's an iDVD folder. If it's not there check in your Home/LIbrary/Applications Support folder. This folder is invislbe since Lion so you'll need to do the following:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:
I suggest you move the application to the Trash bin in the Dock and reinstall iDVD from the iLife 11 disk under the Customize option or use the demo version of Pacifist and do a customize install of iDVD which will include the themes.

Window Component, swf, and PHP

Hi everyone,
I have a simple mail form, which communicates with a PHP
script on the server. When I go to the swf directly it works just
fine. When I put it inside the window component it stops working. I
think it has something to do with how the data gets sent from the
window component.
Anybody have a suggestion what to do?
Thanks,
- Jan

This is the AS that is used in the form. When I navigate to
the swf directly, it works like a charm. When I load the the swif
with the form into my popup window it stops working. It seems that
the actionscript goes through the motions but doesn't receive a
response from the server.
The setup is as follows: On the main timeline I have a
button, which opens the popup window, in which the
"contactform.swf" loads. The attached ActionScript is in the 1st
frame of the actions layer in contactfrom.swf
Any help is greatly appreciated.
- Jan
The swf can be viewed at
SWF
and to view the swf in the popup window goto
Click Button

Load Leopard on a New Hard Drive with Windows XP already loaded

How can I load a new, fresh Leopard operating system on a new hard drive, with Windows XP already loaded and working on it's own independent hard drive via bootcamp beta. I have been using Tiger on it's own drive and wish to discontinue Tiger and move to Leopard without reloading windows. Can I just put in a new drive, and load Leopard with the Windows drive in place?
Please, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4) Runing Windows and Mac operating systems

Malcolm:
Thanks so much for replying to my question! I am new to MAC and have Tiger and Windows XP on separate drives. I will be removing the drive with Tiger and putting in a new drive to load Leopard and I wondered how that would effect accessing Windows XP since the Windows drive will remain in the system. Is there anything I need to do with bootcamp, since Windows was loaded using the Beta version of bootcamp, and bootcamp icon currently shows in the Windows XP taskbar. Tiger was pre-loaded when the computer was purchased. In fact I had to backdate the beta bootcamp version in order to get it to work. I hope this is not asking too much, but I wondered if there would any problem with Windows after the Leopard load.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
