dynamically loading in a swf into another flash file, and I'm wanting the user to be able to either advance to the next frame(of the dynamic swf) with the right arrow key, or go to the previous frame with the left arrow key. If I have to I can create a couple of arrows as a generic interface but I am not sure now to code those either.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create an interface that's controlled totally with the keyboard (arrow keys and Enter button), and for part of it I'd like to use lists that the user can scroll up and down to select items. It's make things a lot easier if I could use the list component for this, but I'm not overly familiar with using it and can't find anything about my specific problem online.
View 1 RepliesI am very new to AS3. I have not wanted to migrate to it, but have been forced to do it for a current project which uses AS3 components. I am creating a slideshow (full screen) and will be creating each slide as a separate SWF file. I have been successful in loading and unloading the slides (SWF's). I need to use the arrow keys to move through the slides. I have that working, but want to load the slides without hard coding everything in each frame of the main timeline. I am using a var to get the currentFrame value. All is well exept that if the left arrow key is pressed and the main timeline is on FRAME 1, the playhead seems to think it can go backward to frame zero and then into negative numbers with each press of the left arrow key. I need to be able to stop the timeline from advancing backward at frame one. I have tried several methods that either do nothing or cause the right arrow key to work unpredictably and keep returning to FRAME 1 no matter what if statement and evaluation I perform. Here's the current code on.[code]
View 2 Repliesclick once on the screen with your mouse and then you can control the man with arrow keys on your keyboard.i can't figure out why the man turns back to the right if he is facing left if you press the up or down arrow. this is one of my first scripts,it's not set up right here is the code:
Code:
function rightKey(yourEvent:KeyboardEvent):void {

I'm pretty new to AS3 but have a project with a very tight turnaround here, having been lumbered with it after a guy from work got taken ill. The basic idea is a visualisation of an XML feed, using the data pulled in to control the behaviour of movieclips. So far I have this;
[Code]...
The menu items are created dynamic out of empty movieclips and have the name movie + x. Now I'm trying to create a method that resets al the other movieclips to their original size and colour when one is pressed. The first problem is to adress the other ones. Even if I try to put the following in the script: movie[x]._alpha = 0; nothing happens..
for (x=1; x<=11; x++) {
eval("movie" + x).onRelease = function() {
var my_strNr:String = this._name

I have this code:
Code:
for (i =0; i < txB_NumberOf; i++){
var TextNames:Array = new Array;
TextNames[i] = "text_txt" + i
_root.createTextField(TextNames[i], i, 0, 0, 300, 100);
text_txt1.text = "test text;
;
The code creates a number of text fields based on the number in the variable "txB_NumberOf" each text box gets named text_txt0, text_txt1, text_txt2, text_txt3 etc by storing the names in an array called TextNames and using it as the name field in the createTextField part.
The bit in bold I want to be the name of the newly created Textfield each time through the loop. So instead of just one text box having "test text" in it each textbox gets it.I read somewhere that ... this[TextNames[i]].text = "test text" would work but it doesn't. I've tried everything else I could think of without any luck.
Is it possible to stretch the font of dynamic text or make it more bold using actionscript2?
View 12 RepliesI need to dynamically attach a movieclip from a library and then make it move across the screen.This is quite easy for one movieclip instance, but what I need is to have movieclips spawn at regular intervals then move accross the screen.[code]My question is, how do I continuously attach movieclips without making so many variables? Is my method of attaching even alright for this purpose?

it isnt too hard to see what I'm trying to do. The above code plops 5 movieclips on the stage, their size dictated by the 'tlength' value, and the next step is to get them moving. Ultimately I'd like these MCs to shift out from the centre of the screen and vary in size and distance depending on the data that is applied to them, but running the current code throws this error; TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.
Basically when loading dynamic text... the .txt will have a simple yes or no inside of it... nothing more nothing less.I've been trying all morning to get a movie clip to begin playing if the value is "yes", and to NOT play if the value is "no"
Basically i have a movie clip on the main time line named WHM. and im loading a dynamic text file into a dynamic text field named player1whm.
I want to be able to change the text file to yes or no on a whim, and if the value is equal to yes... i want the movie clip to begin playing as soon as it loads that value into the box. If it says no then i want that movie clip to continue doing nothing.I have already been successful at getting yes or no to load into the dynamic text box... i just cant seem to get it to control the movie clip.
I'm just starting to program in AS3 and use it in frames on the main timeline vs OOP. Can you point me at some reference that would cover:-
1) If it is possible to scale a dynamically constructed object over a few frames in the time-line. I draw an object/shape on frame 10 and scale it up from frame 10 to frame 20, for example.
2) If I can control the depth of the dynamically constructed object. I draw an object on frame 10 and on frames 11 through 20 I have some line already drawn on another layer that I want to appear above or below the dynamically drawn shape. I can easily do both of these in AS1 but don't seem to see similar constructs in AS3?
i have an flvplayback component within a dynamically-created accordion pane. when the user hovers over a new accordion tab and opens a new pane in the accordion, i want to stop the video in the first pane. how can i reference the video player?

function _open(ev:AccordingEvent):void {
MovieClip(root.instance7.flvPlayback).stop();

I have a movieclip called pointer.mc and this movieclip has only two frames, on the first one the arrow points up and I have a stop(); action on this so it does not jump to the next frame which has the arrow pointing down and this frame also has a stop(); action on it.Then I have a dynamic text field with an instance name of tiderise which is calling a variable from a seperate .txt file called tiderise.txt and the variable is &rise= . Now I have programmed the .txt file to only supply two variables either "up" or "down" and these change periodically during the day. (I am actually making an animated tide chart if you haven't guessed already)
What I want is to get some coding that will control the movieclip pointer.mc between frame 1 and frame 2 depending on the value in the dynamic text field with an instance name of "tiderise" that can only return the value's of "up" or "down".I have spent already about 2 hours trying to figure this out with no luck, I only seem to be able to control other dynamic text fields with values from another dynamic text field, but cannot seem to get this to work on a movieclip.
I can't seem to control my letter spacing (kerning) in my dynamic text field. I gave the field an instance name of about_txt and I loaded the text from a text document. The text shows up fine but it is all bunched together. Here is my code:
Code:
var about_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("about_txt.txt");
var about_1dr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(about_req);
about_1dr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function
onComplete(event:Event):void{
about_txt.text = event.target.data;
}var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
fmt.letterSpacing = 10
about_txt.setTextFormat(fmt);
No matter what value I put in for letterSpacing nothing seems to happen.

I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.
