I am trying to create a very basic slide show of images that automatically revolves every 4 seconds. everything works fine but for a short time. After 2 cycles the images start to show up out of order, in less than 4 seconds and single images may repeat instead of playing the next image.

View 4 Repliesive got a flash template, but its really difficult to edit. heres the thing: there are 4 main categories buttons, and when i click each categorie, 3 options appears. for example
[Code]...
green, blue, red and yellow are already with button codes, for when i click it, it opens their 1, 2 and 3 option buttons, but these 1 2 and 3 for each color are not links, and when i try to add a code to them, ALL of them get the same link, like their instances from the same thing. and when i try to set a button to be instance of another thing, all of them change again.
its really difficult and i've tried everything. even creating another box for these 1,2and 3, but when i create a box on this section, another 2 boxes are created at its sides.

I created this flash intro (CS3) and after this flash intro, I want the home page to come up. It's not doing it. What am I doing wrong in this code? I want it to open in the same page.After my into, it's just a blank web page.
ill try and give as much detail as possible: im trying to teach myself and make a flash site at the same time, so far so good, i already had one, but didn't like the layout

On Linux (Debian Lenny) the installation instructions for the *installer*.tar.gz download file say:Unpack file.Navigate into directory or folder created.Run install program.But no directory created; no install program - what the hell is going on??What you get is a single *.so file. What do you do with it?I got it to work in the past, but perhaps by a different method.
View 1 RepliesI developed a flash/as3 animation recently which used a couple of timers. I devved on a mac and then transferred the fla to a pc. When I output the swf from the pc it acted different.The timers were much faster
View 0 Repliesi've been playing around with this dynamic ribbon effect for some days now. It was made in Actionscript 2.0 for Flashplayer 6, now i need to change the Flashplayer to 8, because i made some other scripts which needs the new features in the new player.
But for some reason the animation is acting strange when i change the player. It is like it misses out just a tiny bit of the code, or some function. It is acting like it is stuck in the upper left corner all the time.

View 1 RepliesI'm using AS3. I have a timeline with 12 labeled frames (page 1...page12). On frames 1 to 10, I have 3 objects that users can drag and drop onto matching places. There is a timer (60 seconds) and a counter. Users should match 15 objects correctly. If so, they go to frame 12 (congratulations!). If not, they go to frame 11 (Sorry, try again), which returns them to frame 1 (page 1).
ISSUE: When users drag an object (mouseDown) and don't release it when time is over, the dragged object remains on the screen. When users go to frame 11 and game starts over, the object remains throughout the entire game.How can I get rid of the dragged object that isn't dropped when the time is over?Here ism y code:
// TIMER
var time1:int=60;var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(1000, time1);[code]..................
Basically it's a font called Scene Pro and it's Open Type. I have a guy working on a Mac and the font does this on his computer.But it's completely fine on my PC. It's the same font.He has Font Book and we disabled all the fonts except Scene Pro - and still this happens. We need this guy to do more work in Flash but on a Mac he's kinda held back a bit with the text behaving like this. I end up Publishing the file from my computer.

Fairly new to Flash but I was wondering something. When I look at a jpg in Photoshop, the quality is fantastic and the white border is sharp.
When I import that same jpg into flash and convert it to a button, it somehow looks a tad odd around the edges, like it's been scaled by 0.1% or something, enough to make the once crisp white edge, look anti-aliased.
Got this weird issue going on today. The hitarea, the 'interactive space' of some of my buttons is off/ distorted. I created several buttons in a class with the pen tool and converted them to Buttons. I added some eventlisteners, but when I tested my Movie, I noticed the interactive space of some buttons was gone or at a different position or not the size I made it.
I made another button using the rectangle tool, and tested again. I noticed the visual button was at the place I put it, but the 'interactive space' was at the bottom right. Whenever I would move over this interactive space with my cursor, the visual button would instantly go to the place the interactive space is. Whenever I move the mouse out of the interactive space, the visual button goes back to its inital place.
Check it: (press start, 2 times the right arrow, then the window, then go to one of the buildings in the landscape and click on it)[URL].. Here you see two rectangle shape buttons. Hover over them, no interactivity. Move the mouse somewhat down to the right, and weirdness happens.

ave anyone run into a SWF acting differently when loaded in IE8? I just finished a banner/header for a client that is working perfectly except when loaded in IE8, here is what is happening...

Basically my masks are not being loaded on init()... I'm loading external XML so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that.

My project is about a header.swf that calls a nav.swf (with a menu and other stuff) and also inits a slideshow through a Slideshow class.This is in header.swf:[code]I renamed the XmlParser class to "XmlParser2.as" (as well as other references to it) and then...it worked...what the hell was going on here?
obs: I tried that also: I commented all the code inside the "initSlideShow" function, keeping the XmlParser instantiation, and the nav.swf didn't show as well.
obs2 : i didn't had XmlParser.as imported cause it was in the root directory. ( i explicitely imported it and tried to compile but same thing happened)
obs3: nav.swf uses the XmlParser.as to load two menus, however I don't believe it has anything to do it since it's a file that is already compiled, at the point I try to load it into header.swf, right?
there is a yellow stroke appearing on my Flash buttons sometimes and i really have no idea why..anyone had this before? I didnt put there...and sometimes it appears on random buttons..
View 5 RepliesI get this error when I try to Auto format my script in an .as file inside flash CS3, though when I just check Syntax it says the script contains no errors. This is the error:
Code: ActionScript 2.0 class scripts may only define class or interface constructs. I just moved to CS3, and I use AS2 still, on flash 8 it didn't do that, so now I can't Auto format my .as files. I found out this question was asked on these forums and the answer was just not to use Auto format.

First, the tab areas of the window panes in Flash go blank.See:[url].....I could understand if I was working on a slow PC. My system scores a WEI of 7.2. I'm running Win7 Pro 64-bit. It's very bizarre and distracting. I have to open and close the windows to make them look normal again.Secondly, and even more importantly, Flash does not seem to compile any actionscript! I created a new AS3 file. I tried a simple trace command, and it won't even output the trace.
ActionScript Code:
trace("Hello?");
Why would it ignore everything in the AS pane? Even obvious errors ( import com.blah; ) don't cause problems.
I'm trying to make an instrument type thing.[URL]... How come the sounds play about half a second after you hover your mouse on one of the circles? I need it to be completely instant.

Also, sometimes, it just doesn't detect the hover at all and doesn't play a sound (if you hover too fast)..
What I'm working on is a spinning menu, and it's sort of working, but there is a particular spot where in order to achieve the rotation that I want, the menu spins entirely around instead of just going the 3 degrees or whatever that it needs. I can't quite figure out how to fix it.Note how when you get to the 9 o'clock position it spins around in a weird fashion.[code]

How would you make a button event call a function which acts like a backspace keyboard event delete.I tried faking the dispatch keyboard event "keyup" "keydown" with keycode 8 and keynumber 8 without success.No other way than doing it by hand with begin and end select index plus substr ?I have a textinput i just want to add a button acting like a backspace.
View 2 RepliesReference objects on stage/frame from document class. AddFrameScript seems to do what I need it to, except for one thing. In the function I'm passing to be added as a frame script, I want to dynamically create some event listeners for buttons, but variables I want closed over the listener functions aren't behaving as expected -- they all end up having the last assigned value of the variable rather than the value it had when the function was defined, as if different scope rules are in effect than normal:
addFrameScript(node_frame - 1,
function() {
stop();
question_txt.text = node_question;
answers_xml = node_xml.answer;
[Code] .....
But then afterward, if I click any of the three buttons, they all trace:
3A
Do frame scripts observe different (dynamic rather than lexical?) scoping or something?
