I've run into this problem twice in all the site's I've designed and I can't figure out how to fix it. (The flash compiler has not given me any errors for this.)
Here is the link first of all

Once you're in the site click on portfolio and then click on "the excelsior" what happens is that for the first 4-5 clicks it won't do what it's supposed to do and it'll start randomly either stopping at a frame or playing a from a frame. Once it's done it's randomness it all works perfect again, but those initial clicks do not take you anywhere.
This is an externally loaded SWF and I've loaded it with 2 different techniques hoping it was that but that didn't fix it.
I've tried simply placing a UiLoader and linking it and what it is now, a var myLoader.
Anyone run into something like this before?
You should try to be more specific in asking programming questions. I almost took it as a spam link.
Anyway's if I am getting you correct, the initial thumbnail clicks don't load the image.You should probably use individual loader for each of those large images.

I'm doing a training class right now and one of the games I plan on doing is a Jeopardy style of Q & A. The problem I'm trying to figure out is the buzzer. My idea is to use the projector as the question board I control. The trainees would go to an HTML page with nothing more than a single button. They would turn their monitors around to face me up front. As soon as I read the question they would click the button and it would change their screens the color red.
The button and background color change is easy enough, I got that. There are two problems I'm facing: 1) I need it so that they can't click the button until I'm done reading the question - this one isn't as important, I can just make up a rule. 2) Only the fastest person will have a red screen. To show me who clicked first. The others' buttons will be disabled.
I just have no idea how to even Google these two things. Like: "Disable button for other users"...? Or maybe, "only one click"...?
Any direction to search is appreciated. Eventually, I'd like to add other aspects to like the presenter could click an "incorrect button" then it would clear the screen and enable all the buttons again, for the answer steal.
You can do it with modern WebSocket or applications interact via TCP. However, WebSocket may be overkill for the simple application with a few teams. I faced the same problem before and developed a simple solution with PHP using Flock to write into a shared file on disk. Only request from one team gets the chance to write into that file. Stick to not to use WebSocket, the web page on client site does some polling to receive the "restart" signal from the server for the new question/round. It can run in LAN, different team gets different site, i.e. http://[server-ip]/team1, http://[server-ip]/team2.
You can have control over the round: allow them to press button/ restart, start a new question in http://[server-ip]/admin.
Further improvement can be made in several ways to facilitate your needs (i.e. assign team name, register team, use database instead of a flock file). The code is available here : https://github.com/minhhn2910/buzzergameshow
So, this is pretty silly. I'm working on a banner ad that utilizes the clicktag. It's a surprisingly fancy one that uses pointroll, and when you hover over the 300x250 banner ad, it pulls up a larger one overtop of it that is bigger and much more interactive. In total, the larger banner has 29 clicktags, all using the variables "clickTag1" to "clickTag29".
The banners are all done, everything fires correctly (according to my trace statements). However, I'm in the middle of QA, testing all of the clicktags using this validator: https://flashval-temp.appspot.com/validator/ , when suddenly, it stops working after clickTag20. I thought it may have been the validator at first, so I tried other validators. No luck. I went back into my code (everything is a duplicate of one template, so the only code changes made were the changes to the string), and made sure to test it again. They're firing off just fine according to my trace statements.
Finally, and this doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I switched the variables clickTag20 and clickTag21. The button that fired off clickTag20 worked, so I assigned it clickTag21. The button that was assigned clickTag21 was the first to stop working, so I assigned it clickTag20. When I ran that through the validator, the button that was assigned to clickTag20, regardless of which button it was, worked! The one that was assigned clickTag21 never did, also regardless of which button it was fired off from.
The variable is a string of a paramObj. How does the content of that string matter? I would have assumed it was compile order, but even in that case, clickTag21 should have fired and not clickTag20. What is going on here? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did you have a workaround? Please and thank you!!
Here is the thing... when you set a clicktag you're waiting for a flashvar. A parameter sent from the HTML to your SWF file. (more: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/pass-variables-swfs-flashvars.html)
Usually you'd test, if this parameter doesn't exists, the banner should do nothing, otherwise, open the link.
Turns out, and this is a guess, that these validators don't know how many clicktags you have in your flash file - or how many parameters you're waiting for - , so they pass up to 20 variables to your flash file, which is more than reasonable.
The bottom line is: if your events are working, you should be fine. Pointroll has a QA team, if something comes up, they will let you know, but as far as I can see from here, you should be fine.
Good luck
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
Got another weird/specific question for y'all: I'm able to do with this with other .swfs just fine, but Ookla's Speedtest is something of a problem. Basically we have a part of our website that runs Speedtest to determine somebody's bandwidth and use its results in some if statements. But when the person tries to change panels and come back in, Speedtest just sort of disappears. It's supposed to go back to the beginning and start again, but it's like it just keeps running and turns invisible.
When I tried loading another .swf in the SWFLoader, I could get it to reset just fine without disappearing. There's something specifically about Ookla's Speedtest that's causing a problem. If I do nothing to reset the Speedtest .swf when the user starts moving around panels, it won't disappear at least. Putting in code to make it reset is a completely different story though.
What's the trick for this program? Did Ookla design the .swf specifically so it wouldn't work like that or something? Thanks!
Evidently Ookla has designed the .swf against being used like that, which is probably costing them customers.
I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me out.
My Home page (Home.html) has a link to a mp3player located at (mp3.html)
On the mp3player page there is a link back to Home.html
If the user clicks on the link to the Mp3 player I would like for the music to continue to play even if the link to home.html is pressed.
What I would like to avoid is having multiple tabs from being opened if the user would re-click one of these links.
Also I would like to have the appropriate page to open when it's link is pressed instead of being locked in a tab and not displaying.
The mp3 player isn't affected by being refreshed.
I would prefer not to have different tabs open if at all possible.
This really got me stumped. I've tried different things out only to either be stuck choosing a tab or loosing the music from playing.
Thank you.
You can program your site with AJAX, so index page won't be reloaded but supplemented by content loaded be demand - Google Mail is a good example. Not a task for beginner, though.
You can use HTML frames (see examples) and load index and player at the same time in one tab. Very easy and may fit your needs, but makes your site harder to link to.
I'd go with the AJAX version as well, it's a nicer user experience. If there's a player somewhere in another tab, that's pretty annoying for the user to find if he wants to turn it off or change a track. Check out the Sixtyone and how they're solving the problem.
