So far from a previous post i created a MC that goes to a targeted location with this AS:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
this.onMouseDown = function() { t1 = new Tween(mc, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone, mc._x, this._xmouse, 1, true); t2 = new Tween(mc, "_y", mx.transitions.easing.None.easeNone,
[code].....
I am trying to make an object tween from its starting location to the location of a mouse click. I have a script, but it has a very annoying ease to it.I would LIKE the object to mantain a certain speed during while traveling from its starting location to the mouse click location.
View 16 Repliesi have a web page with 2 frames : leftFrame and mainFrame. The left frame is my menu with flash buttons - home, about, news and contact.
What i want is this : when the user hits the "contact" button, i want contact.html to load in mainFrame.i've been at it for 2 days,, searching help, tutorials, sites, everything
i've got the beggining of the script :
this.onMouseDown = function() {
getURL(contact.html target="mainFrame");
}
I'm trying to have a preLoader function (preLoadTotal) receive the first progress event from a loader, add it's bytesTotal value to the bytesTotalALL var, and immediately stop it's loading after this. I currently only have one loader triggering this function but intend to add more in order to calculate the total size of all loaders combined (bytesTotalALL).
In the following example you can see my attempt to kill the load after it's bytesTotal info is extracted but no matter what I try the loading continues. What would be the proper syntax to stop the targeted loader?

How do I get a targeted mc to communicate with the parent timeline? I'm not using levels but targeted mc.
I need the playback head to go from the targeted movie clip (this is called nested, correct?) to the parent timeline and stop at a particular movie instance or frame label. I have been unsucessfully using this:
gotoAndPlay(_parent.instancename);
This is my first tread, but Im a long time viewer of this site.I ve got a question. Im trying to figure out how to move a clip from one location to another using a button. This is the code on my movie clip.
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.targX=100;;
}
[code].....
I have several external SWF (child) movies that are to be loaded upon demand into another SWF container (parent) movie file. Pretty straight forward. Each of the child movies has MCs communicating with other MCs within the same child movie. For instance the timeline of one MC will have a frame action, which targets another MC instance to play(). Again, Pretty straightforward stuff.
These files work beautifully when viewed independently. The problem is when they are loaded into the parent container movie the target MC functionality no longer works. I believe it's because once the child movie is loaded into the parent movie the absolute path of the targeted MC has changed and what was once the '_root' in the child movie is no longer the actual root?
I have tried both methods in the child movie:
//method without using 'with'
_root.ContentWindow.play();
And using the 'with action like so:
//method using 'with
with (_root.ContentWindow) {
play();
}
It would seem that in theory once the Child SWF file is loaded into the Parent SWF file the targeted path would have to have another level in it - cuz now the MC 'ContentWindow' is no longer one level down from the '_root' but two levels?
For example: _root.LoadedChildMovie.ContentWindow.play()
I got a containers gallery whitch I made and I want the containers down outside the screen to come up when the mouse goes down. (If not please contact me in private and I will show you my flash).

Is there a way to have the air application remember the last location a file was loaded from and default back there?
If necessary I suppose the path could be written to the local db, but even still, I do not know how to get the filepath of the loaded file.
I want to make praphics or images swap location, e.g. If I have 4 squares that are in a 2x2 box shape, I want to be able to select one sqaure then select another sqaure and make them swap positions, I would like this transition to be able to work vertically and horizontally.
View 6 RepliesI am looking for a component/tutorial/movie that is a FLASH countdown timer/clock that you can change the targeted time on the fly using xml. So, the clock might countdown for 4 days, 3 hours and 19 minutes to an event. but then halfway through i decide i want to change the event to a day later, so i need to us xml to dynamically change the clock to add 24 hours or whatever onto the clock without having to go back into the flash file.
Additionally, this flash file will be part of a flash screensaver that has xml driven photo gallery in the background. this photo gallery i can do, but i am looking for a flash countdown with xml access. I am willing to pay/donate for it if there are no free ones available.
How can I get a button to work when its nested in a MC that has an onEnterFrame with a onPress command targeted to it?
Here's the code for my "popup" MC located on the main timeline.
popup.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
[code]....
Within that same MC is a button that tells it to close. However, I run a trace command to it and nothing happens. It seems like the onPress nested in the onEnterFrame is over-riding my button on(press).
I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

View 7 RepliesAlright, so I've been struggling with this one since last night. When I create a new object (a new unit), and draw it to the screen (Flash does all the work there), the point at which it's first placed is considered its origin. That is, getX and getY will return the distance from that point... Why is that? Or how can I stop this?

View 8 RepliesI have a series of swfs that I've connected via loadmovie. This works well with I press the NEXT button, but not the PREVIOUS button. The PREVIOUS button starts at the beginning of the called movie. I need it to start at a specific location. Is that doable? If yes, how? I tried adding the gotoandplay after the call to the swf, but no luck.

I have a flash file that calls a XML file to give it commands, such as color etc...
I want to change the name of the XML file, but am not sure how to change it in flash so that the SWF knows where to find the XML.
I have been working with xml sheets to load a menu and in order to load a submenu or to go to a submenu of a submenu, I was wondering if it is possible to load a variable location for an xml.
For example, if I had the variable xmllocation which was a string that said where in an xml a certain menu was, is it possible to use the xmllocation variable for something like this:
( if xml.xmllocation.length() > 0 ) do something;
whenever I tried messing around with it, it would actually go to look for "xmllocation" in the xml instead of check what the string is. So what I guess I am really asking is, is there a way to tell it not to be so literal?
I know the basics of tweening with action script but I have a picture set in the center of the stage at x = 50. On a click I would like that picture move - 10 x from that position so it will end the tween at 40. On a different button I would like to do the oppositie, + 10 x to its current position so if it was at 40 it would be back to the start and if it was at the start it would be at 60.

I am trying to duplicate a movie clip several times (to create a wallpaper from a background tile). However I'm running all code from the first frame of the file on the _root level, but the MC I am targeting is nested deeper. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I just cannot get the duplicated MCs to stay at the same location is the MC I am cloning!
The clip I want to clone is _root.core.bg.tile I want the duplicates to reside in _root.core.bg with names such as...
_root.core.bg.tile_2
