Hi,

*to create an array is simple:*

var myArray:Array = new Array();

*to push elements is:*

myArray.push(somethings); // can be object, string, number, ...
*
if you want to push an element into specific position:*

myArray[3] = somethings;

*to read a value of array position just is:*

myArray[3];  // return what is in this position


for exemple:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

var myArray:Array = new Array();

------------------------------------------------------------------------

myArray.push("blue", "orange" , "green", "red");

or

myArray[0] = "blue";
myArray[1] = "orange";
myArray[2] = "green";
myArray[3] = "red";

------------------------------------------------------------------------
trace(myArray[2]);  // will return *green*

or

yourDinamicText.text = myArray[2];



i hope have helped you

Subject: Scrolling in Browser deactivates Flash movies

Hi,

I wonder if anybody has a clue how to solve this problem:
As soon as you scroll a Flash movie (once fully loaded and ready to use) out of
the visible area of a browser's window, you have to click it once to be able to
ineract with it, again.
I`ve embedded the Flash movies (actually 4 of them) using JavaScript based
SWFObject (I've tried MooTools SWIFF, as well).
I think, that`s a new security feature of Firefox (i've noticed this behavior in
Internet Explorer 8, too)!?!

My client asked me, if there's a soultion regarding this problem?
I haven't found any Google matches dealing with this, yet … but maybe any of the
mailing group members can help?
Does anybody know of a solution or workaround for this behavior?

I wouldn't want to put a button „onrollout" on top move the movie, that
disappears as soon as you click and mouse move ;-)

Thanks,
Chris

Absolutely, using AIR. Just do a search for "Flash CS4 AIR". AIR
allows you to build local applications using Flash, Flex or even HTML
w/ JavaScript. AIR has SQLite support built in.

I believe this is a feature of Firefox (and probably other browser
that allow for multiple tabs) to keep potentially hundreds of Flash
movies that aren't being actively watched from crashing the browser.
Some people (like my wife) will often open upwards of 50 pages all at
once.

I just discovered that Flash refuses to apply the bold attribute to dynamic text
fields. If I make a static text field and make it bold, that renders without any
problems. If I turn the same text field into a dynamic one, the bold rendering
goes away.

Amazing stuff, though not surprising from such buggy software. Does anybody know
of a work around?

Hi

Great, thanks.
I got things wreong.
I thought I had to program either in Flash or Flex
and with Air, I could make the flash swf-file created
convert to EXE-bin. Or is it still as such.

With Flex, I could not quite work successfull.
I find the user-interface of Flash better.
But, I do realise: Flex is a more professionally tool.

  I will start searching with your tip.

Thanks

Yes, I do know how to get dynamic bold text. It works exactly the way the
documentation says it does. I'd tell you the answer, but you should really ask a
bit more nicely. If those of us who know answers hated Flash, we wouldn't be on
this list.

I'll give you a hint. It has to do with embedded vs non-embedded text.

I am a Flash animator, not a programmer. I love the animation part of Flash and
have worked with this software for 11 years, but I do not like ActionScript and
the recurring bugs and lack of precision. There is a reason why Macromedia is no
longer in business.

In any case, I was able to bold the text with ActionScript using the form
object. It took 12 lines of code to do it, but it worked.

If anyone knows a simpler method, I am eager to learn.

There is no actionscript required, at least, not in AS2. All you have to do is
embed the bold characters you expect to need in your dynamic text. The easiest
way to do that is to create a textfield with the appropriate font, style it as
bold, and then embed the character sets you want. I generally do not choose
"all" but rather stick with upper case, lower case, punctuations and digits.
It's surprising how many other characters are included in "all", depending on
the font you have chosen. You can probably use the very textfield you are making
dynamic, but if you want people to be able to include BOTH both and normal
fonts, then you need two textfields. One to embed the bold characters, and the
other to embed the normal ones.

Perhaps you should try to understand WHY all characters of all fonts used in a
swf are not embedded by default. It is because this would balloon the filesize
of the swf. In fact, in many cases, fonts alone can account for more bytes than
the whole rest of the file. This is a very unhappy price to pay, and it is well
worth the extra effort to specify the characters you actually need. In the case
of static text, Flash automatically embeds the characters you have used. In the
case of dynamic text, Flash understands that it has no way of knowing which
characters will be needed. By requiring that information from the file's author,
Flash also provides you with the capability to control the size of your file.
Control of filesize was absolutely central to Flash's rise to dominance in it's
field. Programs that behaved the way you wish Flash behaved are dead because
developers would not buy them, and users would not install their plugins.

BTW, you can also choose to use installed fonts (the ones on the client's
machine). If you do, you don't have to embed anything, but you do have to live
with the fact that some users will see slightly different fonts. In some cases
this can cause your text to become too large to fit in the available space.

The reason that Macromedia is no longer in business is because both Flash and
Dreamweaver were so good, Adobe could no longer compete in either arena. So,
they bought Macromedia out. I wish it were not so. In my opinion, Abode is a
far, far inferior company.

Thanks for the advice, Becky. I only used default fonts which come installed on
everybody's PCs. I used AS3's form class to bold the text.

It is interesting what you said about Adobe. I think their current management is
taking Flash where it should not go. They removed the graphical framework which
used to be built into Flash and made coding so easy and quick. They are also
trying to compete with .NET and others on the back-end. It will never work.

Adobe also killed homeSite, a software I liked much more than Dreamweaver.
Macromedia was a far more innovative company than Adobe, but Adobe is more
precise and reliable. At the end, reliability is what the customer wants more
than creativity -- see Toyota vs. Honda.

I hope Flash survives Adobe.

I wouldn't put it that way. What you do is check the "use device fonts"
checkbox. This tells Flash to look for the font on the client-side rather  than
embed characters. If you don't tell Flash to look for client-side fonts, it
assumes you want them included in the swf. This is the only way to be certain
that your swf will look EXACTLY the same across platforms. Embedding, that is.
While it is true that certain fonts, like Arial and Verdana, are quite
ubiquitous, they are not necessarily identical, and small differences,
especially in the SIZES of identically named fonts, can wreak havoc. Rather than
risk that, Flash defaults to embedded fonts even for the most reliable ones.
Obviously, it is also simpler for the Flash developers to treat all fonts the
same way.

If you want to read what Adobe has to say on the subject, check out this
Technote http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/154/tn_15403.html or search your
documentation. There used to be a whole section about fonts. Haven't looked for
it it quite some time, but I'm sure the info is still in there somewhere.

Wow! You do know way more about this subject than I do. Ideally, I would like to
use device fonts on Windows but for other platforms, this just does not work, so
I might as well continue to embed. For dynamic text, Flash would have embed the
whole alphabet in anticipation of copy changes down the line.

Thanks for all the good info on this.

Hi all - I'm a Flash novice. I know the basics pretty well, but am not too
knowledgeable on ActionScript yet. I'm running v. CS3 Professional.

Anyway - My employer just launched a new product, and they want to display a
pop-up announcement for the product whenever there's a new visitor to our
website. It would be something that fades onto the screen, displays for 5 or 10
seconds, and then automatically fades out.

Ideally, it would display only the first time someone visits the site, or maybe
only once every 48 hours or something like that.

Is this possible with Flash? I have created Flash movies that I've embedded into
a webpage, but have never done something that displays "over" an existing page.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks. - Ali

My suggestion is going to be a hackneyed way around. This is doable in
Flash, but requires other technologies as well.

If you can put the Flash into a DIV that is above the page content that is
best. Have the DIV visible if the user is there for the first time. When the
ad plays through have it fire off some Javascript that makes the div either
remove from the page or move somewhere off the screen.

I used to have a template for this handy in a pinch, but I don't think I do
anymore. I will look.

Hi Debbie.
It's a little hard to help with this without knowing a little more about the
setup of your FLA. Flash is a little ambiguous with questions like this
because no one knows if by "movie" you mean an actual Video, or if you just
mean you're loading another Flash "movie" (SWF) into your parent SWF.

I am assuming because you mention "starts playing" that it's a video you're
loading. The general way to remove something that you loaded using
'loadMovie' would be to use 'unloadMovie' and probably use removeMovieClip
to get rid of the movie clip into which you loaded the new movie.

Also, it's important to know whether you're using a timeline-based approach
(like different pages on a different frame of the timeline) or whether you
have a single-frame movie and you're using Actionscript to load and unload
everything. In the timeline approach you can just issue a STOP command to
the movie and change back to the frame you want.

A little more info on how your FLA is set up would help, and whether you're
using the built-in FLVPlayback component or something else (if you're even
talking video here)...

Mike

I am creating an animation using flash. I have a number of scenes that i want to
play in different sequences and jump back to a part of a scene to play it again.

ie: I want to play scene 1 until frame 50 then jump to scene 2, at the end of
scene 2 I want to have a button that will start the animation again and play all
of scene 1 then at the end of it jump to scene 3.

I have tried to use the following script in the frame but it does not work.


enterFrame;
if (counter=1) {
	 gotoAndPlay("Mosquito", 1);
} else {
	 gotoAndPlay(31);
}

any help would be greatly appreciated.

What version of Actionscript are you targeting in your Publish settings?
This is a VERY old method (along the lines of Actionscript 1), so if you're
using this method and targeting Flash Player 10 and Actionscript 3 it's not
going to work.

It looks to me that you're creating an ad with a clickthrough URL - if
that's the case I suggest changing your Publish settings to Flash Player 8
and Actionscript 2.0. This will ensure that 99% or more of all browsers will
have the Flash plugin necessary to see it.

Also, your script makes it look like you're putting the on(release) right on
the button movie clip you're using. A better method is to give the movie
clip being clicked an instance name like 'button1' and then using this AS2
script on the top layer in your timeline in Frame 1:

button1.onRelease = function() {
     getURL("http://www.keeneslist.com/redirect.asp?cust=1676999&ad=4",
"_blank");
}

The "_blank" tells Flash to open the landing page in a new window. You can
also use "_self" to open it in the same window.

Sorry... just caught your last sentence. If the SWF is on one server and
it's being pulled onto a page on a different server you might have security
issues. Add this line above the onRelease function in Frame 1 and it should
handle any security concern:

System.security.allowDomain(*);

HTH...

Hello all,

Is there a simple way in AS3 to identify the screen change (fullscreen or
normal) in a flvplayback component and adjust the TextArea component font size
accordingly?

I am going nuts.

Please help!

Thanks,
Bobby D Vj.

I have a page that plays a video and a few links on the left of the video where
user can select a few other ones.  What is the easiest way, if possible, to
automatically start playing the next video on that list, once the presently
playing video stops?  I'd like to keep the layout as is, but just have the
videos follow each other without being prompted.

many thanks,
Ren

Hello,

I have a movie clip which contains a presentation, and would like to have the
option for somebody to hit a button and forward that presentation along via
email.

Hope this makes sense.  Thanks for any advice.  I use flash 8.

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone can help me. My client has requested the ability to
upload their own photos and music through their browser to an existing photo
Gallery.  The photo gallery currently uses xml files for the photos and music.
The configurations for the look of the photo gallery are also included in the
XML file. The photo gallery is on multiple pages of the website and they want
the ability to upload images and music to each photo gallery. Therefore, I think
I need an in browser xml editor. However, I am having trouble finding an xml
editor.

Does anyone know where I can purchase an in browser XL Editor to work with my
clients existing photo gallery? The photo gallery was created using Flash 8 and
AS2.

I will greatly appreciate any help.
