I've made the outline of a site in AS3, on one of the pages it has an area that shows some text and images. If you click on the right arrow, the current info flys off to the left and the new info comes on from the right. This is done by just having a movie clip with a load of stops and code that says "absorbentInfo.play();" so it plays forward to the next bit of info.What I would like is a way to make it play backwards to the previous stop, so that it could cycle indefinitely either way.Code for the next button below.with the previous button.
Code: Select allnextButtonAbsorbent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, nextButtonAbsorbentOver);
nextButtonAbsorbent.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, nextButtonAbsorbentOut);

I am looking to control a movie clip with a backwards and forwards button.
I need the clip to stop at every 5 second increment both backwards and forwards. my movie clip is 25 seconds long.

I have basic knowledge of action script and have access to flash cs5 so could work with as2 or 3.
I am looking to control a movie clip with a backwards and forwards button. I need the clip to stop at every 5 second increment both backwards and forwards. my movie clip is 25 seconds long.
I have found script for playing a movie in reverse and have tried to change this so it will stop in the above points instead of playing to the beginning or end, but my knowledge in as3 is very limited.
Do i need to put some script that plays with percentage?
You'll find an example at: [URL] The submenu from company or expertise button animates forward when I roll over, backwards when I roll off but not from the last frame. It play's backwards from the frame I roll off.
View 4 Repliesa standard view and a "full screen" view...by default the standard view loads and there is a button to switch to full screen...when the standard view loads to begin with...the exhibitor list on the left works fine with the booths in the floorplan....meaning when you click an exhibitor, the corresponding booth lights up...however, when you load the second swf...which loads to _level0 using the following cose loadMovie("standard-0.48.xml", _level0); the exhibitor list does not work quite the same...when I click on an exhibitor now, the color for the whole floorplan changes, and does not change back...and if you click the standard view button, it goes back to the standard view, but again when you click an exhibitor, the color of the whole plan changes...any idea how to fix this?

View 2 RepliesI have a simple 15 second flash animation that works fine, but I want to make an invisible button over it that when clicked opens a new URL. In other words, the cursor turns into a hand, then when the 300 x 250 pixel image is clicked, a new website comes up in a new browser tab. I assume that I will need to use a transparent layer as a button on top of the other layers.
View 5 RepliesIm having a small problem with a 2d array Ive been coding for sometime now previous to actionscript Ive programmed in Java and Ive always accessed 2d array elements in the following way
Myarray[column][row]
Column before Row
X before Y
Width before Height
Im working on a project where I want to pre declare array elements something I haven't had the need to do before and Im using the following syntax to achieve this
var myarray:Array = [[0,1,0],
[1,1,1],
[0,0,0]];
Im writing it this way so that its clear how the information will be seen on screen as the 1's in the array will be converted to images the 0' denote a absence of an image.The problem Ive got is in order to access these elements I have to write Myarray[row][column] And I would much prefer to access it column first Myarray[column][row] as its what im used to and its too head banging to change over.Is there anyway to declare the array how i am doing now ie
c c c
var myarray:Array = [ r [0,1,0],
r [1,1,1],
r [0,0,0]];
And then twist the array something like this (note! not code syntax just a visual representation)
c c c
[0 [1 [0 r
1 1 1 r
0] 0] 0] r
Is there a method in as3 to achieve this or does anybody know of any short simple code to do it with
I don't really know how to describe this problem but I'm going to give it a try. I am working in Flash cs3 using as3. I have a project with 5 scenes and button nav to jump between them. When I test the project scene 1-4 play fine however when I get to scene 5 the playback head doesn't move, it just stays parked on frame 1 (button nav works, animation does not). When I re-arrange the stacking order of my scenes the same problem will occur in a different scene that had previously played fine. This issue only occurs when i test the whole movie - if I test any scene by itself it plays fine. I am not getting any AS errors which adds to the frustration
View 7 RepliesThere's a lot of talk of how the new Event Flow makes for easier communication between classes.This sounds swell,but nowhere is it properly explained. Every example I find concerns dispatching events within the same class or looped through a customEvent, but I need a way to tap into this Event Flow for backward communication.I have a mainGUI document class that distributes my application subclasses.How do I set up a listener within mainGUI that gathers certain events from any of its children or grand-children? And how can I use this line to post object properties?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX (2002) and I need to get my variable values saved to a server each time my test subjects run and finish my swf/fla (PHP scripts and a .txt file on the server are being worked on, but that's a different nightmare!). I'm pretty sure I should use LoadVars, NOT SharedObject for this data capture right?. The data must not be overwritten each time over the course of a few months of data collection.
The 3 variables are: username (name of the user), counter (this keeps track of which version the user chooses from the start menu), numcorrect (keeps track of the number of times the <right> arrow key is pressed).
I don't know where to put in the LoadVars obj (in the AS code of "finaldisplay" frame?) AND I don't know how to build/format the LoadVars object to capture the data in the 3 variables I listed above.

View 2 RepliesBy far the weirdest thing I've ever seen. On some machines (!) IE (!!) attempts to load an SWF file via HEAD request instead of GET. This happens only when the page is running in Facebook IFRAME application - when running solo works fine. Naturally, on FF and Chrome everything works just fine. The SWF is embedded using jSWFObject. There's no visible common feature to the machines which experience this problem - laptops, desktops, XP, Vista, 7.

Been creating a scroll bar for images. the issue is i cant seem to get sensible stop parameters for the ends of the scroll and scroll bar button. my formulae just wont tie in with the positions at extreme left and right of content/button movement.
The number of images scrolled in the scroller is set by a txt file and is currently at 16, but this is to be changeable. that bit is not an issue, just the scroll parameters. Oh and the Images are in an "images" folder - surprisingly!
