View 2 RepliesI have a question about shapes (i mean the flash.display.Shape class). Is it possible to import Shapes directly from the library as Shapes and not as Sprites/MovieClips? Shapes are supposed to be faster than MovieClips/Sprites, right? So why is it only possible to import MCs/Sprites from the library? I understand that generally shapes could be created solely by actionscript, but in my case the shape comprises of many points and is curved - so it's quite infeasible.
Is there maybe some sort of plugin to generate code that would draw the desired shape from a drawn shape in CS4? And a last one: Are there any benchmarks out there for performance comparison between sprites/mcs/shapes? How much performance do i loose by using a sprite instead of a shape?
I'm making an app. where you can create a character from a bunch of movie clips from the library (attributes of hair, clothing, etc.) using the attachMovie actionscript. I was wondering.. after the user has generated a character by attaching a bunch of movie clips, and then clicking a button, how can I create a new screen that displays the user's final character that was made?
Hope you can see what I'm trying to get at,,, the new screen would maybe have a 'container' that displays the movie clips selected in the previous screen..?
Im going through this method for generating a random image into a movie clip [URL] I was just wondering if theres a way to check if say for example image 4 has loaded into the movieClip previously (just before)...and if so....not load that image and randomly pick one of the other images

I am working on a project for a client. It is a service map for their company. It is basically an isometric view of the clients state, split up into counties. The counties are individual Movie Clips. When a clip is rolled over, it appears to float up above the rest and it glows and displays a tool tip with county specific information. On roll out, the clip tweens back down to its original position in the isometric lay out.
Heres my issue, These Movie Clips are all odd shapes since they are counties in a state. If the mouse is positioned at the bottom edge of one of these clips it will "bounce" as in it rolls over, tweens up, sees the mouse isnt there, tweens back down, hits the mouse, and goes back up again. I have tried rearranging my event listeners, and even adding a timer to the tween back down, i still get the bouncing effect. here is some of the basic code.
[Code]....
my aim is to get the movie clip (bar shapes) to move up and down randomly over time. this is the actionscript ive done so far. by the way im using flash 8 so i beleive that its actionscript 2.

The only thing I get is a swf file.I don't really know why Flash CS 5.5 refuses to generate my project's apk file since I've never encountered a problem like this before. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? My player is set to AIR for Android,I have my certificate,I don't get any errors, and debugging on my device via USB works flawlessly.

I place a group of movie clips with random types (different shapes on a square) in a grid formation The code for placing the movie clips is this (this is in two for loops):
[Code]...
this goes up a single column in the grid and should remove the tiles from the stage depending on each type and it does this (sort of) until it tries to remove more than one of the same type. So if it finds and removes an lShapes it doesn't error until it tries to remove another lShapes and then it gives this error in the output: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So I am assuming that this means it thinks all lShapes have been removed and thinks I'm trying to remove something that doesn't exist but there are other lShapes on the stage. I am at a loss as to what to do about this.
Im attempting to make a preloader. I am very new to action script so this is what i have.
Code:
ifFrameLoaded ( "UC" ) {
gotoAndPlay ( "home" );
}
as simple as it gets, right? Wrong, the preloader works however is get this error 1087: Syntax error: extra characters found after end of program. The preloader it self works it plays and when the movie is loaded it begins the movie, however the movie doesnt stop at any of my stop commands and keeps looping through itself over and over again till i exit the window.
I'm making a website using flash,And on my movie it says Welcome to Blah Blah Blah,And then a button appears, To make sure my button works,The writing turns to bold and goes bigger,When the button appears it works and goes bigger, Until it reaches the point in the timeline where it has stop();It stops my movie from looping or restarting which is what i want, But it stops my buttons from working aswell, How to keep my button working but movie stops,If you want me to explain more just ask

......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?

I would like the swf file to stop (or any other action) if it is not playing in a specified URL This obviously requires a conditional statement. I'm able to accomplish this in a local environment by checking current location. But I don't want the movie to stop if it is already in the desired location, in this case the specified URL. Will the movie play if the current location is equal to the speficied URL? How do I define the URL, absolute or relative path?
View 5 RepliesWhile Designing one movie i've created two movies(using ctrl+f8 whichch we generally use to create new symbols) and i've placed those movies in the first frame of the main movie. For the main movie as part of actions i gave i control like clicking on the button will take you to next frame.
Problem: My problem is that i want the movies that i placed in first frame should run only once and after running for the first time it should stop. i tried deleting movie from frame using _root.delete..... but no luck...
it isn't such a big problem bur for a beginner like me it is.I have a movie clip called "Lion_beginning_mc", inside of it I have 3 Key Frames and Inside each and one of them I have different shapes.For example:Key Frame number 01 - DogKey Frame number 02 - CatKey Frame number 03 - MouseI want to move this movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" form Key frame number 1 to Key frame number 20.I want the Dog,Cat and a mouse to change between each other only once while moving from Key Frame number 1 to 20.And then when the movie clip "Lion Beginning_mc" reaches his goal another movie clip or a frame (with a shape) will start.

- on Frame1 I have all Buttons and movie names.
- On Frame2, I've created a Movie Clip
- By clicking a link / Button on frame1, the action is to take to Frame 2 and load movie and play. It is working fine up to this part.
Then it is on infinity loop. It never stops. How to stop the movie and take the control back to Frame1 with all links.
I'm making a movie where I want the movie to stop at particular frames.
I know I can use stop(); for that one.
Next I want the movie to start again after a mouse click or any key being pressed on the keyboard until I want it to stop again at another frame. Then start the same process.
I'm trying to make a slideshow type thing so you can understand why I want to do that.
What's the actionscript for this one? I don't want to involve any buttons?
