I need help to animate a sprite so that when I push a direction key the sprite will animate when it moves and will return to the starting position when it stops moving.
View 2 RepliesI need a push in the right direction. I have been programming ActionScript 3 for about a year and am just starting to separate my code out of the Flash using classes and things like that.
Anyways here is the problem. [URL].. Go here and upload an image and notice how when you drag the image a black box still appears to visually show the image is under the Obama logo image. I am trying to figure out how this was accomplished.
First: Is a mask being used to only show the image in that particular area? Or is this an transparent gif above the uploaded image? If a mask is being used then how is the rectangle achieved and how is the drag and drop still working when the mask hides the image?
Second: How is this box effect being achieved? Those are the most important questions. I figured out how to make an image resize using a slider. However I am curious how this guy did the advanced image resizer.
If someone can point me in the right direction as to how this is accomplished that would be great. [URL]..

1.) How can I instantiate the bricks without taking such a big performance hit?
a.) currently, I�m instantiate the bricks that make a column one at a time. I tried doing this with a repeater which did work but I could not get the animation to work on each individual brick. The animation would only work across the entire column.
2.) How can I get the UIComponent that contains the brick columns to align itself to the vertical bottom 10 pixels above the box along the bottom with the slider?
a.) I'm currently adding a UIComponent to the stage dynamically and then keeping a reference to that UIComponenet, I am adding my bricks.
3.) How can I improve the animation?
a.) Most of my research has suggested the only way to animate a sprite is to use a Timer() or connect to the onEnterFrame event.
I have a class in which I have declared an array. The functions in that class are designed to make changes to the array, but it's not working:

Anything I do to customerCheck treats it as if it were a new array. This is especially obvious when using customerCheck.push in addCharToCheck() -- the trace always shows a blank array before push and an array with one object in it after the push... then next time it does the same. I know I'm making some sort of fundamental error regarding the scope of the array within the class but I just cannot find any good information on how to fix it! Moving to AS3 (been coding it for all of about 3 weeks) is a nightmare so far, and it seems to be the 'easy' stuff that causes me problems
i have a scroller developed in as2. it basically scrolls continuously in a direction until the direction of the mouse is changed. the images of course loop in the continuous scroll. now the problem is that for 10-15 photos its ok. but when i feed it with 180 photos, it seems to show only 11. why would this be? any restriction on flash ??
View 1 Replieshave a ball with the name of mc which can be moved using the keyboard .. when you press the left mouse button shoots the ball, this ball and the other flies in the face where the cursor was in the shot .. but if you move the cursor to another location and shoot a second time then the second ball is also flying in the direction of the cursor and the first ball change direction toward a second shot ..
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

how to make that first ball did not change its direction and continued to fly in the direction of the shot?
attempt to create an array that will contain 8 instances of 2 different movieclips. As each (checkmark MCs) is added to the stage, another attention getter clip will be removed (circle MCs).So on my first frame of this command one bluecircle should be popped from the stage, and one bluecheck pushed. Then the same with the green clip on the next frame, again back to the blue's on the following frame, and finally both one blue set and one green set.I had attached them and removed them via strict declarations of attachMovie(...) and removeMovieClip(...) linked to the next/previous buttons I had encoded but found that this was a bit buggy as it sometimes generated extra clips that weren't necessarily added and removed correctly depending on the step the user was at.

View 2 RepliesI am trying add data to an array, but using myArray.push() isn't working the way I want it to. I am using a datagrid so the array has to be in the format var tabledata:Array = [{'Column Name':'Something', 'Another Column':'More data'}]; but then adding to it using tabledata.push([{'Column Name':'Something', 'Another Column':'More data'}]); Doesn't seem to be working - it adds a row but doesn't add any data to the cells. **Fixed it, just have to remove the square brackets in the push command tabledata.push({'Column Name':'Something', 'Another Column':'More data'});

View 4 RepliesI have a movie in which I have several squares that are pushed away once you mouse over them, this is achieved with some action script. What I need to do is once the viewer leaves the flash window where these squares are housed, I need them to go back to their original state, or the state in which all of the square line up against each other and do not break up because of the the mouseover effect.

If I place a pattern or object over a 3d object created in CS4, will it affect it by warping it in any way.I'm looking for a way to push a pattern over a 3d object, for the pattern to look like the 3d object is "under" it.
View 2 RepliesI'm having an issue with pushing the node contents of my XML to an array. I'm real close and have tried a ton of things, but I'm hoping to get a push here.. The below code works fine, but is limited to 22 chars... I'd like it to parse the node regardless of length by first calculating the length and then looping through the push based on that int (tileWidthNumber). It's important to ignore the commas from the node, and the push each value to the myMap array.

View 2 RepliesI can push into an array just fine, but now I have an array created by a for loop. It has 30 numbers in it.
Now I want to go back and add another dimension to each element in the array.
So I might have (1,2,3,4,5,6....)
and I want to go back and add ([1,"Susan"],[2,"Matt"],[3,"Marc"]... I read somewhere that I need to loop it and first make each element and array and then push into arrayName[0].push as a loop, but that doesn't seem to work either.
I posted a tread last week about a preloader to load and cache multiple files (swf) that are at different addresses before playing a flash page. Someone finally posted an answer, and the code is almost working perfectly. The way to make it work is by having an .html file, an .as file and a .swf loader file.The issue is with the .as file using fileURLArray.push. i entered 10 addresses to load and cache 10 files but it's stopping after 5 preload or caching. Any ideas why it's only preloading 5 instead of 10 ? Test address; http:[url].....

I would like to push a value, anything really, into my array when my movieclip is pressed. I have a number of fish movie clips, and when I press them they unload, but I would like for every press of the movie clip instance a value to be pushed in the array. This is so that when a certain number of fish have been pressed the movie goes to the next frame. So, I give an if statement to say if the array has a certain length, go to nextFrame();.[code]

way to push images via c++ or c# to flash, in so that flash does not confiscate the camera. Alternatively I was going to try and attempt a virtual webcam in c++ grabbing from a dd filter. This proved to be unsuccessful.
I'd almost need to use some sort of shared memory for reading in to flash but I dont know where to start.
I have my xml coming in just fine and I need to put it into an array now..I need it to basically end up like one of these:
Code:
var contentInfo:Array = [{title:"Select a Ringtone", keyID:"", keyName:"", fileID:""}, {title:"Living Together", keyID:"17117", keyName:"circa.ringtones.livingtogether", fileID:"1769_w_a18cwob6.mp3"}, {title:"The Greatest Lie", keyID:"17119", keyName:"circa.ringtones.thegreatestlie", fileID:"2026_w_i2hdaw10.mp3"}, {title:"The Difference Between Medicine and Poison is the Dose", keyID:"17120", keyName:"circa.ringtones.thedifferencebet", fileID:"2025_w_yskkb1oc.mp3"}];
so you can see their are 4 variables I need to push into one slot.
I have some vector silverware, and I'd like each piece to shift and move when you pass the mouse over them. I'm familar with AS 2.0, but not sure what to search for, for this type of effect.
