I'm trying to progress in my actionscript skills and use more actionscript. In the past I created a static movie clip maybe 50 pixels wide by several hundred pixels tall. Starting at the top of the strip the alitiudes were written next to a hash mark, a couple of carriage returns, a hash mark without any numbers, a couple of carriage returns and a hash mark, and the process repeated.

im currently making an "AS3 beat em up" ala streets of rage or double dragon.Currently i have my character moving and a few animations done and i am trying to figure out how to make attacks work.I have some "basic" animation for his attack, but im not sure how to get it to work correctley.What happens is, if you press control (the attack button) whilst the character is walking he just keeps moving and is stopped on the attack frame.I want the character to stop moving if the attack is pressed and once it is released start moving again.
hero.gotoAndStop('still');
var left:Boolean = false;
var right:Boolean = false;[code].......
Its my first time at this form. I have a school project where I need to create a musical instrument that people can play (interact with) in flash.
I have ideas and images of how it will look and work but have no one, who knows flash, who can help me make it work. Again, I have never used flash (am intending to start learning this summer) but my project is due in about 3 weeks and I am wondering if I can get help from this forum?
Also, how much do you think it would cost to get someone to take my design and make it work. I am willing to pay for it (and our teacher has agreed that it is fine to get this kind of help).
I have a Flex 3 app which I want to instrument to report errors generated by the app to a server via simple HTTPService call. My idea is to wrap all the methods in try. catch blocks which then pass the Error object to the reportError() function (which then fires off the HTTP request and pops up a dialog) but is there a better way?

onClipEvent (load) {
speed=10;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isDown(key.RIGHT)) {
_x+=speed;
} else if (key.isDown(key.LEFT)) {
_x-=speed;
} if (key.isDown(key.UP)) {
_y-=speed;

Is that making the object moving to left and right?
I'd like to keep an object appear to remain in the same place while moving the camera.I'm using this scriptto orbit an object using a mouse drag. But I have an object in the scene that I would like to keep still. How to I do this?

I am creating an interactive map. It has little bullets that, when you hover over them, display a short description of the room and a link to another page. What I am trying to do is make it so that the user can hover off of the bullet, and onto the link to the seperate page, without the link and description disappearing because of leaving the bullet's "hit" area.
Do I have to define another hit area for the description and link somehow?
I need the ActionScript (2.0): 1) When rolling over a moving image (like a filmstrip), I want the image to stop and then it zooms into a larger image. 2) Then when you click on the larger image, it goes to another URL page in my webiste.

I have made the editable text field and scroll bar and set all of my preferences, but when the typing reaches the border on the right of the text field it just continues to type further horizontaly. I can start a new line by pressing enter but I would like it to start a new line on its own when it reaches the boundary.

Newbie Question: I'm having a problem with a Flash /swf. file I created, it looks fine when I create it, test it in flash on my computer and when I place it in the website I see everything fine. But on some (most) other browsers, parts of the text get cut off, looking like an incomplete word or sentence. See example here: Winsows 7- CS3 / Chrome - and Explorer. [URL]...

View 1 RepliesI am trying to have text show up in a text field when the playhead was in a certain frame.My problem is that when the user clicks the next button, the text from the previous frame stays in the text field and I need the new text to show up. Any suggestions on how to clear out the old text and have the new text automatically show up?Here's the code I'm using, where scriptTxt is a TextField component.

I am trying to add text to a moving movie clip. So what I have done is double clicked on the movie clip to go into it. I then added an actions layer and added this code.
var tf1:TextField;
function fontLoaded1(e:Event) {
tf1 = new TextField();
tf1.width=100;
tf1.height=60;
tf1.autoSize=TextFieldAutoSize.CENTER;

As of yet, nothing is displaying on the movieclip. I don't get any errors. I have used the this keyword aswell, but still nothing.
I need to advance a movie clip onto the stage (that will look like a strip of paper) as the user types in a message from my text input window.Right now I am using this code to display the typed text on the paper, but I need it to look like a printer is pushing it out as the user types in the message and limit it to 50 characters.

I have just created an animation of moving text, which I wrote in flash pro and converted to symbols then animated.
When i play it with the play button on the timeline it plays beautifully. However when I publish it as an swf file for a split second on some of the words theres a slight white flicker. As in a horizontal line that quickly flashes up across some of the letters.
I am working with a block of dynamic text that is being loaded from an external text file. Imagine it looks like this:
Image 1:
Some text here.
Image 2:
Some text here.
Image 3:
Some text here.
You get the idea. This text is in a scrolling text box. What I'd like to happen is when the function gotoImage2() is executed, the text scrolls the down to Image 2 so that it is at the top of the text box. Make sense? Seems like a variable needs to be embedded in the text file, but I have no idea how to do the rest. I also can't get any of my custom scollers to work. They all embed the text in a masked mc. Is this the only way to scroll dynamic text? Any good pointers to smooth text scroller tutorials I'm using Studio 8.
I have 2 input text boxes. On entering the data in 1st input text and pressing "ENTER" key, the focus should move to the 2nd input text box. I tried this by method Selection.sefocus(<variable>), but the focus does not move to the 2nd input text. This in flash5.

View 14 RepliesWhat I want, is to move a text from right to left (like stock market prices) in a Dynamic Text Field of fixed width. That's all!It appears really easy, but I've googled the web for hours and found only highly comlex solutions with masks and things I don't understand (i am still a beginner with AS3) or solutions based upon EnterFrame action and I need my text to be indepedent upon EnterFrame action as it concernes many nested movie clips and animations.
View 3 RepliesI have a simple text field that is read only and it's very long, so I just want to use a scrollbar on the right-hand side. I dragged a UIScrollbar component to this text area, I lined it up, same height, and even named the text area as the scrollbar's target, but when I compile the swf, I get a blank scrollbar next to the text and 2 other scrollbars off the the right of the text!!! I also tried adding the scrollbar via code with the same results.
View 2 RepliesBasically I have button contained in a movie clip (scroller), I want to be able to drag the button up and down and get this to move some dynamic text. If you want to have a look at the fla: [URL].
Code:
on(press){
_root.nFlag = true
}on(release){
_root.nFlag = false
}
And this code for the mc:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(_root.nFlag){
if(_root._ymouse <= 400 && _root._ymouse >= 0){
this._y = _root._ymouse
}}}
My problem is that this only moves the button up and down, and doesn't move the dynamic text. Plus when the mc is named scroller it seems to conflict with code and moving the button doesn't work.

trying to bring in a list of people from an XMLdocument when a button is pressed, and once that list is broughtin, I want to make each name clickable so that a reader can findout more information about that person (the text of which wouldalso be from an XML document). The first part seems fairlystraightforward (see coding below; Im not sure if this isthe best way to do it, but it seems to work). Im stumped,though, about how to do the second part (make the names clickable).
