• NEWBIE HELP - button script

  I am completely new to this, so no need to tell me how stupid the coding is and please keep the answers simple hehe... Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me here! :)
  
  Location:
  I have a menu with four mobile (interpolated classic) buttons, all coded the same.
  Two of them work, but two of them will not play/move. Everything is done exactly the same thing, instance names are correct and so on — but the debug'er said that there is something wrong with the third button (line 10, marked a *)- and gives me this error:
  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
  at 5_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
  
  And if there is a better way to do this (which I'm sure there are a lot of), I would like to know how you would :)
  Any help is appreciated!
  
  Here is my first attempt at coding flash:
  ____________________________________________________

  you're the code seems fine - good job :) I see no error special here than other I could go with MouseEvent.CLICK - but it's an arbitrary choice and have is fine.

  a 1009 error means that 'something' you are targeting is not instantiated (present) on the timeline at the point where the code is executed. This could mean that there is a problem of instance name (you don't say - but it never hurts to double check... or maybe a little lol) also, it may be possible that one of the buttons (third) is on 'another framework' maybe in the near future? You can only assign event listeners to the items that are available at the time, so you should have to wait until then.

  Once again however, everyone must start somewhere - you're code is not stupid and you did a great job.

• DV7-4177nr: HP laptop dv7-4177nr Caps Lock flashing solid button wireless

  This HP laptop was not start correctly. After some research, I came up on top of the problem LED blink/beep codes and was hoping to use this page.

  The problem is, on my laptop, the Verr Maj light constantly blinks and doesn't stop, unlike on the problem page code where it says he should stop to give me an idea of what the problem is.

  In addition, the LED light on the wireless key is a solid red color. After several attempts, I can't find anything about a flashing infinite caps lock and a solid red light.

  I tried the hard reset, when I remove the battery and the AC adapter and press and hold the power button for a long period of time. I have also reinstalled the RAM sticks. I even took the CMOS battery and replaced.

  If possible, would be just a system board/motheboard failure? I heard that if I take on the RAM and try to turn on/off the unit, the unit should beep at me because it does not recognize the RAM, but in my case, it is not a sound signal.

  Any other ideas?

  Hello @ToeKnee616,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that your HP Pavilion dv7-4177nr is not start properly and you have tried various troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

  Looks like you follow the proper document to solve the problems. Based on the consistent blinking, it is most likely a single wink indicating the failure of the CPU.

• Passing variables from flash to php script - does not!

  Hey everybody. I was wondering if someone could help me. I use as2 to pass a variable from flash to my php and nothing happened! Here's the action script code that I put on my button:

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = amount.text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php", rise, "POST" ');

  }

  The amount of '5' is now in a dynamic text field with the variable name and instance of amount (which, in the future, will be hidden). This works very well when the button is clicked. What I'm trying to do without success, is to get this value of '5' to my test.php and did echo and it happens simply not . It comes to my php script:

  <? PHP

  $form_inp = $_POST ["amount"];

  If ($form_inp == "'")

  {

  Print "nothing entered < br >".

  }

  on the other

  {

  Print "you entered: $form_inp";

  }

  ? >

  I'm getting "Nothing entered" every time.

  I've tried different ways for the amount.text such as:

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = this. Amount.Text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php", rise, "POST" ');

  }

  and

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = this ._parent. Amount.Text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php", rise, "POST" ');

  }

  etc...

  I also tried to change the variable name in the function sendAndLoad amount to form1 as follows:

  (release)

  {

  Amount.Text = 5;

  Form1 = new LoadVars();

  Form1.amount = amount.text;

  form1.sendAndLoad ("http://mywebpage.com/test.php",form1, "POST");

  }

  and still nothing.

  In my php file, I even tried the GET instead of the POST and it always turns out nothing.

  <? PHP

  $form_inp = $_GET['monto"];

  If ($form_inp == ")

  {

  Print "nothing entered < br >".

  }

  on the other

  {

  Print "you entered: $form_inp";

  }

  ? >

  Additional info:  I put the .swf file and at the same level-.php file in the same folder on my server just to be safe, and the dynamic amount.text text field and button are at the same level in the .swf file.

  Anyone can shed some light on my situation... pretty please? I'm out!

  Thank you very much.

  Ok. So, do not let this thread unanswered, after a looooooong of trial and error, I went to as3 and began to do some testing. It turned out that the register_globals was off on my site and that is why I did not receive the variable passed with the $_POST in my php. So what I finally proposed is the following:

  In my fla/swf doc:

  to import flash.net.URLVariables;

  import flash.net.URLRequest;

  import flash.net.sendToURL;

  var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables;

  urlVariables.amount = "5";

  var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://mirador.mx/oaxaca/disco/receive_test.php");

  urlRequest.data = urlVariables;

  sendToURL (urlRequest);

  In my php file:

  $amount = $_GET ["amount"];

  echo "' AMOUNT IS:". " $amount;

  Now for all of you who have been following this thread, or which can be read in the future, I know that we we started with AS2 and finishing here with AS3 but I didn't know why it worked until I I'm so fed up I've changed in AS3 to see if I could understand. I, like many others I guess, felt a bit intimidated with AS3 and was unwilling to give it a try, but I highly recommend that you dive into it because once get you a grip on it is much more functional.

  So I m going to mark this thread as a response and hope it saves someone else all the time and the frustration that he made me... Good programming!

  
  

• Need help with 3.0 in Flash CS5 action script?

  Hi I work with action script 3.0 in flash and our school teacher wants us to create a simple action that allows us to have a clip from the animated film and then we have a stop and a button "play", so when I click on stop the clip stops and when I click on play it moves again. Have tried several times, I get compiler errors. I have my buttons on one layer and my video clip on a separate layer. All I have is 2 buttons. One for the stop and the other to play.

  What I am doing wrong? Here is my code and my mistakes-

  start_btn.onRelease = function() {}

  
  Polygon.Play ();
  }
  stop_btn.onRelease = function() {}
  Polygon.Stop ();
  }

  Here are my mistakes and if he please be aware that our teacher said to use action script 3 only and no action script 2.

  Scene 1, 'Layer' buttons, image 1, line 1 1120:Access of start_btn of property not defined
  Scene 1, 'Layer' buttons, image 1, line 1 1120:Access of stop_btn of property not defined
  Scene 1, 'Layer' buttons, image 1, line 1 1120:Access of the polygon of property not defined
  Scene 1, 'Layer' buttons, image 1, line 1 1120:Access of the polygon of property not defined

  I think your teacher, or anyone else, gave you sense with ActionScript 2 programming. In AS2, what oyu have here would have worked very well. But in AS3, you use a rather different approach. Your buttons and their instance name, can remain the same. But now in AS3, you must add the following event listeners:

  yourButtonName.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, yourListenerFunction);

  In your case, you can do one of two things - A) assign a unique to each key listener function or B) assign the same listsner to the two functions:

  (A)

  start_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, startPolygon);

  stop_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPolygon);

  function startPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  Polygon.Play ();

  }

  function stopPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  Polygon.Stop ();

  }

  (B)

  start_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);

  stop_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, controlPolygon);

  function controlPolygon(e:MouseEvent):void {}

  If (e.target.name == "start_btn") {//Test for the name of the object that sent the CLICK event

  Polygon.Play ();

  } ElseIf (e.target.name == "stop_btn") {}

  Polygon.Stop ();

  }

  }

  When I use multiple buttons that do the same/almost similar things, I support approach B on A, as it keeps me just a simple to process function.

• Newbie question: script to pause between loops

  I am a newbie Designer, graphic in Flash who knows only the basics of action scripts. I want an animation to get to the end, wait 'frozen' on the last image for an amount of seconds I specify, and then play from the start. However, when my animation is coming to the end, it plays back without waiting for (logically, since I have not introduced a script in time interval). How can I specify this time interval? What script to use and on what image should I place it?
  
  Thanks in advance for your help

  Hey Mosh,

  By default, the playhead on your main time line will start to play without any instructions. In fact he 'loop' without any outside help unless you decide.

  If you want to be sure that your animation plays everything you need is "play()" or even "this.play ()" but the result is the same. "This" is referring to _level0 if you did put a trace on it.

  So, replace your "gotoAndPlay (1)" by "play()" on the first frame
  and
  on the very last remove frame the "gotoAndPlay (1)" as you now order this action on the service call back within the "executeCallback()".

  I know it says "play()" in the service that has been created, which is fine, but you can change that to ' gotoAndPlay (1) "if it helps you to understand a little better.

  Everything we do here is establishing the function at the beginning and he put back in action when we need it. It does nothing until we call in the last picture with:
  intervalId = setInterval (Thi, "executeCallback", seconds * 1000);

  The "stop()" function on the end does what it says on the Tin. It stops at the playhead dead in its tracks and then the head of reading waiting for something to tell him to do something else. That is why the statement "intervalId.

  So in summary what we do here is paste an object into 'intervalId"that says"the trigger executeCallback() function"after" seconds * 1000 "(the 1000 is used here because Flash works with milliseconds) has passed. And why that said this is because we spent the 3 parameters to the setInterval() function. That's why > this, "executeCallback', seconds * 1000<. strange="" though="" why="" you="" dont="" need="" to="" include="" the="" "()"="" right="" after="" "executecallback".="" but="" hey="" it="">

• Flash MX - button link to iframe?

  Jonathan,

  > simply called 'iframe '.

  Fair enough. :) It is probably better logic to name only iframe
  something more descriptive, such as nav, or siteNav, but iframe is valid
  name. When you say that this iframe is "called" 'iframe', what do you mean by
  'called '? What HTML do you use?

  > The examples that don't work:
  >
  > on (release) {}
  > getURL (" http://www.whatever-target-page.htm", "iframe");
  > }

  The on() function is code of Flash 5-era. It still works very well, but it
  must be connected directly to an object (such as a button) in order to work.
  Today, it is more usual to put the code into keyframes. But assuming that
  you've used on() correctly, the above code will get a named frame
  'iframe '.<-- note="" the="" space="" character="" after="" the="" letter="">

  > on (release) {}
  > getURL (" http://www.whatever-target-page.htm", target = "iframe");
  > }

  Here, you still have this space after the 'e', but you're including
  something outside the quote marks in the second parameter. The getURL()
  function accepts up to three parameters, separated by commas and all
  they must be strings. The second parameter * is * your target - it works
  looks a lot like the HTML anchor tag - if you do not have to use the word
  'target' here.

  > ANOTHER:
  >
  > on (release) {}
  > butoninstancename.onRelease = function() {}
  > getURL (" http://www.whatever-target-page.htm", "iframe");
  > };
  > }

  Here, you use the on() and the most recent (since Flash MX)
  How to manage the events, that will not work. Due to the on()
  function, this button does not need instance name – because it is clear
  which button is intended to receive these instructions - so... I guess
  Looks like you're mixing metaphors here. ;)

  That said, your settings getURL() are on-site in this last example, so
  revise your work like this:

  on (release) {}
  getURL (" http://www.whatever-target-page.htm", "iframe");
  }

  ... and who should do it.

  For some more details on the on() function, see this:

• HP ProBook 470 G2: Stop slower / flashing power button / stop...

  Hello

  Ive got a G2 HP 470 here with a weird problem, whenever stop you the laptop, you see windows stops, and then the screen goes black (full black, as when it is turned off) but the power button (white) and a orange led near the AC connector Flash like for 10 seconds before the laptop shuts down completely.

  I've updated all the drivers and BIOS.  but without success...

  Battery removed etc, but also without success...

  Someone knows how to fix this or is something broken?

  Best regards

  Hello

  Try disabling the startup of Windows 10 hybrid - you can do the following.

  Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

  In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close open windows and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon from the Start Menu, select prompt (Admin) and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

  Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

  Shutdown /s /t 0

  Start the laptop and let Windows take over completely for a few minutes before checking if she will now disable correctly.

  If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

  Kind regards

• Import Photoshop files (PSD) for Animate (Flash) via JSFL scripts

  Hello

  I want to automate the workflow we have including import psd files in Animate (Flash)-> make a few changes on the content > export swf.  The last part (-> to make some changes on the content > export swf) is already automated, the only thing left is to import psd files. The problem is that every time you import a psd file, you are invited to a window where you must enter the preferences how you want to import a psd. Exactly, this window is the problem, we must always change preferences and confirm the changes by hand. Is it somehow possible to set preferences for psd import by jsfl script and avoid the window preferably?

  Thank you.

  Yes, assign the boolean false dialogue show in the importFile method.

• Build a Facebook Like for Flash Player button, no AIR.

  Hello

  I need to have a Facebook Like button in a SWF application. It needs all the standard as button features and behaviors, including the button share and the similar meter.

  Like that.

  Facebook Like button

  Someone has solutions and or suggestions? Tutorials? Done solutions free or paid?

  Thank you!

  the first paragraph explains the easiest way to do it.

  the last paragraph provides facebook change their api javascript and break the ActionScript api facebook.

  JavaScript of Facebook API

  In this section, I'll show how would you use the the Facebook JavaScript API you can so see how to use a JavaScript API with the next hot social networking site before an ActionScript API is available or with Facebook if they change their policy cross-domain (like Twitter) file.

  Facebook has a REST API (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer) they disapproved in favor of what they call their graphics API. Their graphic API looks more like a name change as a change in the peaceful principles that you can read, if you are interested in the aforementioned wikipedia page.

  In any case, without divergent in theory, you can use Facebook with http (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/) requests. I will address that in the Google section +.

  If there is no ActionScript API for Facebook, you can use the Facebook JavaScript API to communicate between your game and Facebook.  Whether JavaScript in your SWF to html page integration. (There is a way to inject JavaScript into the html Embed page using ActionScript code, which I'll cover in the section Google +.)

  And you use the ActionScript ExternalInterface class to communicate between JavaScript in your html Embed page and the ActionScript code in your swf file. (See Fig11-08).

  Insert Fig11 - 08.tif *.

  [Diagram showing how ActionScript can communicate with Facebook.  Everything on the left is in embed html page your SWFs.]

  To simplify Facebook and ActionScript communication, I will start by explaining the ActionScript and JavaScript communication.  (See Fig11-09).

  ActionScript and JavaScript Communication

  Insert Fig11 - 09.tif *.

  [Diagram showing how ActionScript can communicate with JavaScript.]

  I need ActionScript code that sends data to JavaScript and ActionScript code that listens to the data that are sent from JavaScript to ActionScript.  Here is the ActionScript code used to send the value of the variable some_data from ActionScript to JavaScript:

  1. ExternalInterface.call("saveglobalscore",score) ("fromSWF", some_data);

  Here is the ActionScript code used to listen to the data that are sent from JavaScript to ActionScript:

  1. ExternalInterface.addCallback("IsStatic",IsStatic) ("swfF", this.fromJS);

  function fromJS(value:String):void {}

  do something with the value

  }

  To use one of the people you must import the ExternalInterface class:

  to import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

  The call and addCallback methods are static methods of the class ExternalInterface and are therefore still applied exactly as shown.  The first parameter in the method call is the name of the JavaScript function (always in quotes) and the second parameter is the data (in option), that you want to send to the JavaScript function.   Under this chapter, this second parameter should be limited to a string, an array or associative array.

  The first parameter of the method addCallback is the name of the JavaScript function (in quotes) and the second parameter is a function name in the scope (code addCallback) (no quotes).

  I also need to swfF and fromSWF of JavaScript functions.  They can be something as simple as

            return "test return of js fromSWF()."

  }

  The function thisMovie should not be changed.  It is necessary for JavaScript ActionScript communications.

  The toSWF function calls thisMovie and passes it the name of your SWF (without the quotes and swf dot suffix).  If you change thisMovie or fail to pass the correct name of swf to thisMovie and JavaScript-ActionScript communication fails.

  Annexed to thisMovie (swf_name) is the name of the function (without the quotation marks) used in the method addCallback (with quotes) ActionScript.

  In addition, for everything you need to use swf integrating code that is compatible with the ExternalInterface class.  This is the embed code sample that works with ExternalInterface and incorporates a game_01.swf.

  This isn't the only code that allows you to embed a swf file and work with ExternalInterface. SWFObject (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/) can also be used to embed a swf file and it works well with ExternalInterface.

  With both methods of incorporation, you just change the swf name references, color size and back of the stage in the embed code. With the above integration code, there are four references to game_01 you should change to match the name of your swf file and your should change the width, height and the bgcolor in two places to match the background color, height and width of your swf.

  With the embed code above for game_01, the toSWF function should be

  function toSWF (value) {}

  thisMovie("game_01").swfF (value);  change game_01 to match the name of your swf file

  }

  Bringing together all that gives the following embed html file and the following ActionScript document class code.  These files are located in the management of the files/Chapter 11/facebook/fb1.
