[Flashcoders] navigateToURL or getURL and pop-up blocking
I have a client Flash AS3 project where I need to open a new window from within Flash. I won't have any control over the html wrapper for the SWF so I can't use javascript within the HTML page. I've read suggestions about using Javascript:window.open but seems that will get blocked as well. Any suggestions? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

[Flashcoders] frame 1 - stop() not working with simulate download
I'm not sure why I never noticed this after so many years, but I was doing a demo for someone the other day and Flash was doing some weird things. It was an old school preloader demo with a stop() and an onEnterFrame loop on frame 1 that checked the bytes loaded and bytes total. I was bandwidth testing and it kept ignoring my stop() on frame 1. It worked fine if I was testing the movie normally, but would run right past the stop() on frame 1 when I did the Simulate Download. For my demo, I just moved everything to frame 2 and it worked fine, but it was extremely odd. I was more puzzled because I'm not sure how I didn't see this before (or don't recall it happening before). Is this a known issue with Simulate Download? I know there are issues that Simulate Download doesn't clear out all variables and objects from memory, but I found it odd that it was skipping/ignoring the stop() action. - John ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Flashcoders] frame 1 - stop() not working with simulate download
It's not an issue of getting the correct size, its that the Flash file doesn't seem to obey the stop() on frame 1 when doing a simulate download test. Steps: 1. Create a new Flash file. 2. On frame 1, add stop(); trace(start); 3. On frame 5, add stop(); trace(stopped); Test the movie by pressing control-enter. output: start Use simulate download (control-enter again), and for some reason, flash skips the stop action on frame 1. output: start stopped So Flash traces start on frame 1 actionscript, but ignores the stop(). I can work around the problem, but its something that I didn't see before. - John On 12/12/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message: 11 Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 11:35:25 -0800 From: Mick G [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] frame 1 - stop() not working with simulate download To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed I've seen this behavior when using if(bytesLoaded==bytesTotal) and not checking if the bytesLoaded is 1K (or some small file size) to be sure it has started loading.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Remoting
JP -- If you have used the Remoting Installer (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashremoting/mx2004/components/actionsc ript_2.0/flashremoting_comp_as20-win-en.exe), then you'll need to drag the Remoting Class library into your document before you can use them. When you do it this way, you get all the remoting classes which will add more K to your Flash SWF. Macromedia/Adobe also provides the source code for download as well, which allows you to directly import the classes you need and comes with a lesser K hit since you can import only what you need. http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashremoting/mx2004/components/actionscr ipt_2.0/flashremoting_comp_sourcecode.zip - John -Original Message- Message: 20 Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2006 00:14:42 -0500 From: JP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Remoting To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii If you are using AS2, then you want to use import, not #include (which is AS1).

[Flashcoders] Sound.loadSound --- when does streaming actually start?
If I load an external MP3 into the Flash player and set up Flash to load it as a streaming event, when does it start to play? In the AS2 language reference, it states : Streaming sounds play while they are downloading. Playback begins when sufficient data has been received to start the decompressor. So what is sufficient data? The reason I am asking is that I was trying to stream very low bitrate MP3s, but they were long (1+ minutes around). When I used the bandwidth testing in Flash for 56K modem, the MP3 had to almost entirely download before it started. - John ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
