Re: [Flashcoders] How to determine when an externally loaded swf hasended playing.

2007-07-24 Thread Christopher Whiteford

Yeah it is a movieClip in movieClip situation, which I tried of course using
the onEnterFrame and currentframe = totalframes route but as it was an
external swf which I have no control of so it wasn't able to detect the
frames.

Thanks though.

Are these timeline based swfs, or single frame, or movieclips within

You could create an onEnterFrame event that continually checks the swf's
_currentframe compared to _totalframes.  When they are equal, it has
reached the end.

If it's a single frame or MovieClips within MovieClips situation, it
becomes more difficult...

I didn't think of trying to use the netstream object, I will definitely try
this.

Here is how I determine when a movie completes. The key section is this:

};

In the above I set a cookie that is good for 365 days if and only if the
movie completes. This does not prevent the user from scrubbing the play
head
to the end of the movie if you make the controls available. If the user
cancels before it completes the cookie object does not get set and the
video
does not show up in their list of Viewed Videos. I am not sure how you
would implement this from externally loaded videos but maybe this is a
start.

Good luck!

then just trying to access them from the various loaded swfs?

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange XML problems

2006-11-15 Thread Christopher Whiteford

Well with _lockroot you can still access _level0 and _parent vars and I know
that it is frowned upon but you could try using some _global variables as
well perhaps,  to see if that makes a difference. The problem with working
in flash versus using browsers is the timing. I have had issues just between
the timing of how a movie loads for a different browser, and as you are
experiencing it drove me pretty mad.

I guess I am lucky as I have access to a mac and a pc which in cases like
this make it a bit easier to get to the _root of the issue...(pun
intended)

Can you post this somewhere where I could test it real quick? as without
looking at your code it is pretty tough to guess where exactly the issue is
and to at least see it might be helpful.

Re: [Flashcoders] Strange XML problems

2006-11-15 Thread Christopher Whiteford

The issue it seems is how you are using your folder structure. I noticed
when I took out the media/ from the lessonXML.load(media/eLesson_player.xml);
that the flash loaded the xml properly but in your html you have the html
loading it from media/eLessonPlayerv0.1.swf so when the html page loads the
flash piece it is looking for the xml in media/media dir. I would guess that
is where your issue lies.

   Hi,
  
   1. I have a main flash file which loads external SWF's when a

   is coming through the XML file, including the fields that need to be

   2. I've assigned a global variable that allows the external SWF's
 access
   to it.
   3. It works perfectly in the flash IDE.
   4. It works fine in firefox the first few times and then just
returns
   'undefined' for the variables that need to be populated, in SWF's
 loaded
   externally into the main file.
  
   I've been struggling with this issue since morning and can't for the
  life
   of me figure out what the problem is or what I'm doing wrong. I've
  changed
   folder structures, manipulated code...I'm so frustrated! Please help
 me
  :(
  
   Thanks,
   Bruce.

[Flashcoders] IE doesn't seem to want to recognize FlashVars

2006-10-11 Thread Christopher Whiteford

Ok I have a page that redirects based on FlashVars and for some reason every
browser expect IE seems to work. I have tried using flashobject, passing the
variables in the querystring and referencing _root variable. I am at my wits
end with this.

If anyone could take a look at it in IE and Firefox and possibly have some
explanation I would be thankful.

Re: [Flashcoders] IE doesn't seem to want to recognize FlashVars

2006-10-11 Thread Christopher Whiteford

I got it working by using flashvars as well as passing it in the swf file
string. Unfortunately I didn't write the piece so it took some time to
decifer. It seems that how IE processes the flash allows for a difference in
the timing. So maybe that will help you track down yours.

Testing changes was definitely an excercise in ensuring the cache was clear.


Thanks and good luck with yours

I've got a similar problem with the cache of IE7.0, try to clean your

and try your swf again. If it resolve the problem, tell me, I'm working on
a
solution...

[Flashcoders] Synchronizing multiple flvs

2006-09-06 Thread Christopher Whiteford

I am looking to find out if anyone has experience in splitting an FLV into
multiple parts and then playing them back whereas the the timing is
seamless?

The reason I ask is I need to create a picture tile game which is easy
enough but the client came back with this where 15 tiles playing the same
flv broken into different pieces need to be unscrambled and the result would
be one big video.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The jumps would be instantaneous.

Would the tiles be contiguous and stationary with instantaneous jumps
from one position to another, or do their positions have to animate
from one location to another?

[Flashcoders] Problem

2006-03-21 Thread Christopher Whiteford
I am having a problem with figuring out why I am having scoping issues with
a rollover button. I am trying to load a swf file outside_btn.swf in that
has a movie with an instance name of smBtn on the main timeline. now I have
done traces from the button that indeed returns _level.smFindBtn1_mc.smBtn
but yet I still cant get teh onRelease to execute.

var smFindBtn1_mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip(smFindBtn1_mc,
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var smFindBtn1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
smFindBtn1.loadClip(outside_btn.swf, smFindBtn1_mc);
smFindBtn1_mc.smBtn.onRelease = function(){
getURL(www.yahoo.com)
};

Does anyone have any ideas?

[Flashcoders] Using JSFL

2006-02-01 Thread Christopher Whiteford
I am curious I am running jsfl scripts to attach swfs to a main fla file and
it seems I have run into an issue. On a few of the attached swfs some of the
static text being a $ is being converted for some reason into a graphic and
erroring out updates to the other static text. Does anyone have any ideas or
experience with this?
