i am using is flash cs3. the as2 swf contains a tween code using mx transitions.when i remove this tween code and hard code it on the enterframe there seems to be no problem.afaik avm2 should fully supports the as2 and as1 code. so i am unable to understand why this disparity when coding a simple tween in as2 swf.i had made a post in the actionscript forums hoping to gain some light on the issue.URL...[code]
View 2 RepliesI�m loading text from a txt file but I�d have to break lines where desired.
I tried using but it appear as text. how can I do it?
what its meant to do: A casestudy, has a section for each client, showing a selection of work for each one. It starts at a random client/section each time it is loaded, and there is also a menu that allows you to go to a specific client/section if you want.
So what i've done is made a randomly generated var at frame 1, and then told it to gotoAndPlay different sections of my timeline
Code:
var myVar = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
if (myVar == 1) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
[Code]....
This is working fine, as is the menu. However, as soon as I add a new layer with 2 or more images, in any of the sections it stops working.
Stranger still, it seems to be if i use more than one of the same image type it wont work ie, 1 jpg, 1 gif, 1 png it still works, but if i have 2 jpgs or 2 gifs it will break.
I also tried making a movie clip to hold my images, but the same thing happens
I saw a website where a video was breaking up in 2 parts.Is there an easy way to do that

View 1 RepliesI am working on a project where I need to show a wooden board and have the user pick a place on the board and somewhat realistically (at least believable) simulate the board breaking and shattering at that point. The final product will need to run on a mobile platform so performance is an issue.I have already experimented a bit and have a movie clip board which is composed of predetermined pieces and I used a tween to move the pieces apart. The main problem is that the way the board breaks and where it breaks are predetermined

View 1 RepliesIf I want to break out of a function rather than a loop, it's suggested that I use the return; statement. But that doesn't work in the following code, I just want the trace statement to run once...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnterFrameHandler);
function EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("It worked, obviously.");
return;
}
So, this will trace the phrase over and over with no stopping point. Why doesn't return have an effect? Doesn't the first line only happen once... ?

View 2 RepliesI have a datagrid that displays the contents of the array gotoArray[i], my only problem is that whenever an item gets added to the array the labels all go onto the same row instead of into sperate ones.
So it looks like this all on one row: Frame1, Frame2.....
Code:
_global.gotoArray = new Array(_global.BM_array);
function dataGridFunction() {
myDataGrid.setSize(260,115);

ALSO on an array note: How can I remove a value from an array according to it's index number - do I use the slice tool?

I'm currently working on combining a bunch of movieclips with variating color schemes that I'd like to condense into a unified pallete. Breaking apart a movieclip reverts the graphics to the original colors but it would be super-helpful if flash repasted the current color settings onto the graphics once its broken apart. Maybe implementing a few of illustrators color palette tools would be great too. If this isn't the proper place, then I apologize but I wanted to pass the info along as an artist who is currently using flash as his primary art development tool right now.
View 5 RepliesI'm using a game physics library (Box2D) which only supports convex polygon shapes. However, I'd like the level builder to be able to just specify concave polygons without having to worry about that. So, how can I automatically break apart a concave polygon into convex ones (or even all triangles). Speed would be cool, but ease of implementation is more important. The breaking apart will only be done on game initialization.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a really weird problem with the MOUSE_OVER event. I'm building dynamic tabs representing mp3 songs containing textfields with info and a dynamic image for the cover art. I am trying to get a simple MOUSE_OVER working over the whole tab, such that you can select the next song to play.
I am using a Sprite with alpha 0 that overlays my whole tab (incl. the textFields) as a Listener for MOUSE_OVER and _OUT... I've checked by setting the alpha to something visible and it indeed covers my tab and follows it around as I move it (just making sure I'm not moving the tab without moving the hotspot). Also, I only create it once my cover art is loaded, ensuring that it will cover that too.
Now, when the tab is in the top position, everything is dandy. As soon as I move the tab to make space for the next tab, the textFields break my roll behaviour... just like that noob mistake of overlaying a sprite over the one that you're listening for MouseEvents on. But... the roll area is still on top of the field, I've set selectable and mouseEnabled to false on the textFields... nothing.

I'm working on a flash project and wanted to rename an .as file. When I changed the name, the .swf breaks. Is there anyway I can remap the .as file to the .fla from CS5.5?
just wanted to know where is it preferred to keep your .as files? I've seen examples where people store them in a separate folder (ex. Actionscript/MainTimeline.as) but I've also seen examples where people just keep all the .as in their .fla file.
I'm trying to load an iframe into a div via ajax. The iframe serves Flash content.
There are four divs (above each other) with the same Flash-through-iframe implementation, and I show and hide these divs to correspond with the user's navigation. This works well, except in Safari. I triple-checked my JavaScript that toggles the divs (using display: none and display: show), but it doesn't work in Safari.
I have one png image with few icons there. So now I need to load that image, to brake it apart and to use those icons as MC-s.

I'm new to this venue and although I have been involved in video and have my own server I am green at this issue. I have a site up called:[URL].. that I server from my server and my clients only have a couple lines of code on their site. From time to time I get complaints that the video is breaking up upon playing.I am streaming it now and have a short load delay but I don't want it to take more time to load or the visitors may leave. I was told that there are two ways to stream: Flash Communication Server or Flash Video Streaming Services.

1) I am trying to make connection with Flash Media Server to publish live video streaming, and I am sitting behind proxy and firewall, I am not able to make my connection with rtmp that's why I use rtmpt to make my connection with media server to publish .But in this case after publishing some time(ie 5 to 10 minutes) connection break down and streaming get stopped .The same problem occurs when I use "Flash Media Live Encoder 3" to publish live stream .
2) I am making my connection like this "rtmpt://xx.yy.zz.kk:80/Training" where xx.yy.zz.kk represent live System IP where Flash Media Server is running.
3) After analyzing the problem I observed that while publishing the stream ,http requests from Publishing system keeps on increasing and at one time it crosses the limit of proxy server (our proxy can handle 600 http requests per minute from any client PC) so streaming get stopped.
4) Then I attended "adobe connect pro" Trail classroom session by sitting behind the same proxy and firewall,But in this case my live video streaming is not breaking down ,as per my understanding adobe connect pro also use Flash Media Server for streaming.

View 6 RepliesI have a .png image of all 44 US presidents, I'm trying to figure out how I could break it apart so that each president can be clicked on. I'm a fairly experienced actionscript programmer, have done some game development work in the developer role but never in the design/UI role, thus I'm not great (or even good!) at some of the beginner stuff regarding UI. I was thinking I could use the lasso tool to select an area, then somehow make that selection into a grapic or movie clip symbol, but I can't seem to get that to work and I'm wasting a lot of time experimenting!
