I have the following script in both frame 1 and 2 to let a movieclip move from right to left on the stage:
[Code]...
And the clip is indeed moving from right to left on the stage and when it reaches _x -550 it is going back to it's starting position _x 250 only the movement isn't smooth at all. What should I do to make the movement more smooth or should I use a completely different script?
im trying to get a movieclip to move by pushing either the left or right button, and then when the enter button is pushed i want the mc to keep moving but it seems to stay still. this is what ive got so far:
ActionScript Code:
mcBoat.onEnterFrame = function()
{
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
[Code].....
it keeps moving if the enter button is pushed and then pushing an arrow key but not the other way.
I've got a scrollpane (the UI component), inside wich I've got an mc. How could I "talk" to that mc inside the scroller? I ask this because the scrolled mc ha no instance name, but comes straight from the library, so something like this wont work:
scroller.myMc.play()
I'm trying to create a pseudo OS within flash. It's for a website. Essentially there will be "files" to click that that open up draggable windows, just like a mac/pc/linux etc GUI. For example; there could be files for "about, gallery, info, contact" or whatever else that when clicked would open up scrollable/draggable/closeable windows with the content in them.
I'm having serious problems finding any documentation or tutorials on this, even though I'm pretty sure this kind of thing has been used often. My main hang up right now is draggable scrollpanes. Is it possible to do? I can't seem to figure it out.
I'm really stuck on the draggable scrollpanes I have movie clips in place of the scroll panes right now. I wasn't sure on how to actually open the movie clips with a button press so I just placed the two movie clips off the stage, and when one of the two buttons on the stage is pressed, it moves one of the clips onto the stage (thats a ghetto way of doing it, but I'm not sure on how to do it a better way). The clips are draggable with transparency and levels so whatever your dragging becomes slightly transparent and moves to the top level. Aside from my scrollpane problem, I also have no idea how to get the clips to close or move off the stage...
I am making a platformer in actionscript 2 for a school project and I've run into trouble.
I'm using a big (5755px or something, if I recall correctly) bitmap as a background for my game so I need the camera to center on the main character movie clip which is situated in the beginning of the stage (and bitmap).
So, in order to use the full canvas I need to center the camera at the far left of the canvas.
This would be something essential for me to be able to use the entire canvas but I couldn't find anything on the internet about it .
i have a loop error where it times out
Code: Select allstage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, shootArrow);
function shootArrow(event:MouseEvent):void
{
do
{
[code]...
So what im trying to do is make the arrow2, body and target move to the left of the stage and make the actual arrow (flyingArrow) to move down to give the effect of a flying arrow?
what I'm trying to do is accessingsnapText = scrollPane.source.textSnapshot;from an external swf. I've tried:
trace("-->: "+scrollPane.source.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+myLoader.content.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));
trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

I have an oversized moveclip which i will place on the stage.When flash swf is running, I would like to move the movieclip left, right, up or down when i mousedown. Just like the "MOVE" tool in photoshop.
View 1 RepliesBasically I wanna remove my mc "ball" when you press the left arrow key. I've tried stuff like
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
ball._x -= 1;
}
Some reason gives me like, "needs clip events"
Im making a horizontal thumbnail-scroller. Thumbnails are loaded in to a MovieClip and placed side-by-side with some spacing.When I move the mouse to the far right of the stage, the last thumbnail is to the far right on the stage, and when I move the mouse to the left, the movieClip.x = 0.
I can do this and have a script ready. BUT: If I would like the first thumb to be at 0 when my mouse is 100px from the left side and the last thumb to be to the far right of the screen when my mouse is 100px from the right side, how would I make this happend?I've spent $30 on scripts from activeden and 5 hours on trying to make this happend, but I just CAN'T find the solution..
Code: Select allfunction moveScrollerThumbs(e:Event):void

I have created this menu with 5 buttons. The script attached to these buttons tells a movie clip to play certain sections of the clip to create the mouse over mouse out effect. The problem is if I move the cursor away too quickly the rollOut does not happen and the button is left in rollOver state.

I got a flash movie clip (Walking_Man.swf) which has a "Man" character who walks but on same place. It means he doesn't move a bit on stage. Now, I would like to give a realistic look by moving him from left to right. How can I do it?
I would like to write an Actionscript 3 code for this purpose.
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
View 1 Repliesi am trying to check if the movieclip has left the stage. by using the Stage.width. When the movieclip leves the stage no it not recognised. As the trace function does not appear.
var stageName = Stage.width;
var speed:Number = 5;
box.onEnterFrame = function(){

how to build a button inside a movieclip. I have a template that has movieclips within movieclips, and when I create a button (all using AS2) the button will work if I test the scene, but in the whole flash movie it does not work. I also have some buttons located inside a ScrollPane that also do not call correctly.
For my button I am using this code:
facebookbtn.on (release) {
getURL("http://www.facebook.com/","_blank","GET");
}
[Code]....
^ This also does not work, with or without the button name before on(release).

I'm a beginner actionscripter, so I hope you will take that into account when replying. The problem I am having is that a client has asked me to place a call to action button inside a textbox that scrolls. My idea was to create a movieclip containing the text and the button, then place that movieclip inside a scroll pane. I've been monkeying around with it all day and have made minimal headway. I'm not even sure of the best way to accomplish this.
If one of you learned actionscripters out there could point me in the right direction, perhaps I can find my own solution. The client wants me to use custom icons for the scrollbars, and as altering a scrollbar component seems like such a PIA, I'm trying to avoid using components.
I have a MovieClip inside a ScrollPane. Inside this MovieClip i have buttons. What i want to know is: how to click a button inside a Movie Clip, that is inside a scrollpane, and make it load a swf outside the scrollpane?
View 2 Replieswell i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

I want to create a flash site where I have a long horizontal movie clip split into about five sections, each about 960px wide. The effect I want to achieve is when the user clicks on the button it will scroll horizontally to the specific section of the flash project. For example, if your on the home page and you click on the contact the movieclip will tween to the right until it reached the contact section of the long movieclip. And I also want it where if the user clicks on the home it'll scroll back to the home page. I can't seem to accomplish. I tried positioning with the x property and move right so many pixels. I'm thinking about setting like some coordinates or some kinds of reference points so when the button is clicked it will go to those specific points in the stage.
View 1 RepliesHow would I move a movie clip from a (non-specified) point, to a designated destination (in coordinates)? For example, move a movie clip named "Guy" to coordinates X=100, Y=100.
View 4 RepliesI have a movieclip and I want that when the movieclip is finished, when it reached the final frame, I want to jump at the next frame on the stage. So I wrote on the stage in the frame that the movieclip is :
Code:
if(intro.currentFrame == 89) {
nextFrame();
}
I also tried in the movieclip something similar, in the last frame I wrote
root.nextFrame();
but nothing works.
i have a movieclip of a butterfly and needs it to move randomly on stage. Also, it should always be facing the side it�s flying at and never fly backwards (if it�s flying from left to right it should be facing right and the other way about)
View 3 Repliesi have movie clip with images and buttons: left, right, up, down, need for this buttons add events, to be able to move the picture from movieclip to stage
View 2 Replies1) I have a movieclip instance on stage (simple graphical element that represents platforms for a hero to run and jump along). I have placed it on the stage with an external class engine.as and in this class it is called myPlatform and is an object of Platforms.as. The movieClip is called platforms and from a trace(myPlatform.name) the instance name is instance3.
2) I am attempting to access the properties of myPlatform in an Enterframe event loop in my character control and collision class (called hero.as)Basically here is the bit of code I am trying implement within Hero.as :
if (myPlatform.hitTestPoint(x,y,true)) { // if a platform is hit
trace("hitME");
y--;
tGravity = 0; // reset
break;
}
Here's the error that I get:
1120: Access of undefined property myPlatform
This all worked when I was writing actionscipt within the FLA file, on the timeline frame 1.I simply don't know how to access myPlatform from within the external Hero.as class! Do I need to create a variable?
i am trying to create a new movieclip instance of Letter1 onto the stage,at the moment if i put
