I am building a slide show in Flash 4. I have a series of slides that I want to automatically advance from slide to slide in order after 10 seconds. Is there a slide control in flash for this? Is there an actionscript for this?
View 1 Repliesi have 5 images i wish to use for the slideshow, but i have no idea what to insert in the actionscript so that once the page loaded, the image will change in the order like (1 to 2 to 3 ... ) every 10secs and when i click on the image it will also load the next image without waiting for that 10secs.and which frame do i insert the actionscript code?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a slide show using actionscript that changes the images automatically. I have the script for a slide show that has buttons to let the user change the slides. It gets the images from a specified folder (which I want it to do- they are all named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg...etc which makes it easy to update them) and loads it into an image holder named (imageHolder). There is a function called nextImage which loads the next picture, but at the moment is controlled by the buttons. I'm not sure how to get it to change images automatically using actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI want to know how to stop my random slideshow after 3 slides...
[Code]....
This doesn't happen very often but if you go to [URL] and click through the slides you'll notice on occasion, a slide will stick on screen and not slide out. And then the other slides slide under the stuck slide. Obviously, this is not acceptable at all. I tried to upload the .fla but FK keeps giving me a Upload failed error. So I'll just have to include the code below. Hopefully, someone can explain to me why this is happening. Is it possible it's because people are clicking too fast and it's a Flash tweening bug?

I'm making a presentation and want to make the text of the slides appear on command.This is what I wrote on the actions layer.
1.) First frame
bg_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSlide);
bg_mc.buttonMode = true;
function playSlide(event:Event):void[code]........
On the actions layer there's a stop "stop();" before each new layer starts. But it doesn't work. I tried to paste the code in any order but still nothing. I works on a sample fla file I got.
the 3 externally loaded SWFs rotate with fade in/outf effect on their own as well as per button click. What I would like to add to it is having the the buttons change appearance (Tint or anything) - just to show which slide the user is currently seeing. here's my code:
// Attach Musicvar req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("squeeak3.mp3");var sound:Sound = new Sound();var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var b:Boolean;

I have just recently returned to flash after a very looooooooong time! I moved out of the flash world a few years ago and have been working in design for print. A friend has asked me to help create a flash slideshow for them. I know how to do this using older versions of flash but there seems to be a quicker way in CS3.I have selected from the opening menu, Flash Slide Presentation.I have created my slideshow and added transitions.Everything looks great however I can only progress the slideshow using the arrow keys.My question is...Using this slideshow setting can I set my slideshow to loop through the slides automatically instead of progress with the arrow keys?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to create a flash slideshow including buttons that interact with the slides. A perfect example of what I am trying to create is the flash slideshow on the Frito Lay's website[url]....I am sure there is some action code for the button that can do this, but being to to Flash code.
View 1 RepliesI need to create an interactive slideshow where the each image automatically slides to the left every 10 seconds. There should also be the option of clicking a button to move both back and forth as well.
View 1 RepliesI'm fairly new to ActionScript 3.0 so forgive me if this question is easy, but I'm having issues with my portfolio slideshow. I have a few thumbnails and when you click on one the image slides in from the right. That part is fine. What I really want is for the user to click on a different random thumbnail and have the current image slide out as the new image slides in. My code so far:

I have 2 movie clips, one names mc_frame01 and another mc_frame02. I've tried to set variables and arguments to make it easier when theres more mc_frameXX's. All I want the animation to do is first MC slides in from the right, pauses, then slides off to the left. Then repeat for each MC. With the code below, both MC's seem to slide in from the right at the same time and that's it.

Long time flash "dabbler" who has avoided using scripts as long as possible. But now finds himself having to use CS4 and AS3.
I have a situation that would have been easy to handle in older version of Flash or Swish. Previousely if I had an imported FLV or SWF that was 7 seconds long at 20 FPS I would have gone to frame 140 and set a getURL action to redirect to a webpage at the end of the movie.
But with CS4 & AS3, this is not so simple anymore.
I have a button that when pressed successfully invokes the navigateToURL parameter when pressed. But at the same time I am playing an FLV in the background that is 7 seconds long.
What I need to do is have a timed event that at the end of 7 seconds (7000 milliseconds) then invokes the navigateToURL function.
how to accomplish this? I have looked all over and have not seen anything that accomplishes this.
Here is what i have as my script on frame 1 in my actions layer including some timed event scripting
stop();
// We need to import the utils packageimport flash.utils.*;
// Create a new Timer object with a delay of 7000 msvar introTimer:Timer = new Timer(7000);introTimer.addEventListener("timer", timedFunction);

I have 5 buttons on my scene and each one fades to a different image. I need a timer that will automatically go to the next image after 10 seconds.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to construct a timed loop... so far without success.What I need is a loop where iteration 0 + i + 1 starts a few seconds after iteration 0 + i. I tried putting a timer inside the loop but the loop seems to simple skip the timer instead of executing it sequentially before starting the next iteration. Here is the code snippet:
Code:
var iTimer : Timer;
for( var i:int = 0; i < 2; i++ )
{
trace( i + " i iterations" );
[code]....
The loop does not seem to wait for jLoop() to be executed. It speeds ahead onto the next iteration, instantiating a new timer and thus screwing up the timing of the iterations. I have tried different things like putting break and continue statements in there but to no avail.
I have been trying to come up with a way to have a Timer of which I can modify the Tick time between executions. I have the tick amount as a variable but it seems like the Timer just evaluates that variable once at the start and then ignores it. I've tried adding and removing the EventListeners in between modifying the tick variable but that does not in any way affect the original Timer. For the project I am using this in I cannot simply have a second or third timer to enable with different variables seeing as I would need upwards of 30 of them to do it that way. Can anyone point me in the direction of a way to have a variably timed Timer?

View 3 RepliesI was wondering if it was possible to make a small script in Jquery that would change an image at a certain time. For my site, I want the image for the opening and closing of a facility to change when it opens and closes. Is this possible with Jquery or should I go with something else? Actionscript/Flash?

Problem is that i want to catch messageClientDestroyed and send to that destination a message that the user has disconnected.But blazeds destroys messageClient when you add a subtopic.So how to understand that if session is invalidated and all messageClient are being destroyed or the user just enter another place and add a subtopic to his consumer. I'am also open for other solutions to implement that mechanism.When user disconnected by session timeout or closed the site browser etc. i wanna catch it and send a message to subscribed destinations.
working on a project which has a number of buttons, when the user rolls over one of these buttons the alpha value decreases to 0 to reveal a image on a lower layer.What I would like to do is gradually restore the alpha back to 100% after the user has moved the cursor off a button. However, I dont want the alpha to restore to 100% straight away, I would like there to be a few second delay before the alpha starts restoring, is this possible, and if so how would I go about doing it

Im making a little sequencer program as part of a bigger application. The sequencer playhead MC needs to move at accross the stage at a constant speed regardless of the frame rate of application.how to achieve this? My first thought was setInterval, but i have since read that it is not that accurate accross framerate changes either.
View 8 RepliesI'm using this piece of code from a panning source file uploaded to this site while back. I've tried to change the code so that after you press the button the movie will slide to a certain point ( 100,100 ) and then the movie will start its motion again ( nMC.startMotion() ) the problem is it doesn't have time to move to the position before the movieclip startmotion code kicks in.
img.b3.onRelease = function() {
nMC.slideToPoint(100,100); I need a delay here; nMC.startMotion()
}
I'm trying to make certain variables I have, increase by a set variable amount every 1 second, in a continuous loop. However, everything I've tried (using 'for' or 'setInterval') never seems to work for me.
View 2 RepliesUsing an FLV playback component, I am reading subtitles into a dynamic text box. I'm essentially using the same XML code seen here:URL]..Only problem is, the style tags aren't working for me. They do nothing, and the font style options selected on the stage in the FLA seem to override any style tags.
I'm wondering - does the text box need to be created in Action Script (as opposed to on the stage)? [FYI, I just tried this, this did not seem to work either]. What else could it be?
(Note that I can achieve styling through using CDATA tags, which makes matters more confusing to me. I'd prefer to use the timed text ones if they can work, as they are a little better for readability).
I am trying to create a timed event which will happen every 10ms. I want to achieve a high level of precision (+- 1ms) but I have not found any way to do this. I tried to use the frame rate, but that varied a lot. I also tried to use the timer class, but this did not work very well either (even when I set the timer to go off every millisecond, it went off anywhere between 3 to 40 ms.) Even after using the timer class with getTimer(); I had no guarantee that the event would happen every 10ms.
Code:
import flash.utils.*;
var LastTime:Number = getTimer();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1);
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, TimeCheck);
myTimer.start();

I want to develop a header splash like you see on many sites now. I have a few ideas. One is a list of images or clips with images embedded. On load teh first image loads up, then after a set time (30 secs), the second image fades in, the first fades out, and etc looping.Any ideas on specific tuts or threads with code examples?

I also have 10 swf files named movie1.swf, movie2.swf, movie3.swf, etc. I want to randomly load any 2 of these swf files into the 2 empty movie clips in the main movie. After the 2 swf files have been loaded, I want one of them to last 20 seconds, and then randomly load a new swf file to replace it. And the other one, after 30 seconds, will randomly load a new swf file to replace itself. And this cycle will go on & on...
