I have several buttons I need to turn on and off (visibility and alpha) but the function I have written that determines if a given button should be turned off works based on a few variables. I need to be able to control which button is turning on and off with these variables.
I have tried this ("btn" + i)._visible or alpha but does not work. how I can accomplish this?
I have one MC with the following AS:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (rewind == true) {
prevFrame();
[code]....
but no such luck with the second MC. Even if I apply the same AS code to the second MC, it still won't work.
I'm trying to create a AS3 file that will import an xml file, that has an file path node and an image name node. I want and swf imported to be displayed on my first page, then have previous and next buttons that will load the next node/slide with another swf. I'm thinking it should be simple enough. How to pull the path name out og the xml file and put in the next button function. I'm guessing I should pull all of the file locations into an array, but I'm struggling to grasp how to do this. XML file would be something like this....but eventually much larger.

I'm a flash beginner and I've been having alot of trouble figuring out how to make a button which can be controlled with the keyboard as well as the mouse and plays a sound when clicked but when the button is released the sound instantly stops. What I'm going for is a piano application, I made the button, I know how to create keyboard events with listeners and make the different button states up and down but I don't know how to control the button with the keyboard and play sound when the button is clicked but stop the sound when the button is released.
Also I'd like to have it where the space bar will cancel whatever makes the sound stop so it just rings out until the sound clip ends. Can someone explain to me how to do this, remember I'm a beginner so please explain everything.
is there anyway when i use scroll bar component in flash... how do i make it so that i can be controlled by your mouse scroll button.. thing.... ( if its possible )
View 3 RepliesI have to draw a circle using action script. The Circle Diameter has to be controlled by a button.
View 0 RepliesI want to be able to have a number displayed on the screen that when one of the arrows next to it (up/down) is clicked it adds 1 to the original number (lets say 72). Then when they click the "save" button that really just takes them to the next frame (or a frame somewhere else in the movie), which is a confirmation page, I want the number they ended at to display on the confirmation screen.
I'm thinking that it is partially because I don't know what to search for.I know I have to create a variable and get the button to add one to that variable.
I have a _mc made visible by, instruct_mc._visible = true;Once the _mc is visible I would like to have a button 'within instruct_mc' that will make, 'instruct_mc._visible = false; again' is this possible? If so what would the AS2 command have to be because the button dose nothing until I take it out of ' instruct_mc

View 2 RepliesI'm fairly new at flash development but here goes: is it possible to use xml to drive the layout of a flash website in CS3? Perhaps using ActionScript 2 or 3? In particular, I'm looking to be able to for e.g. create a news ticker where changing the XML allows you to 1) change the text and appearance, 2) framerate can be controlled, 3) interpolations between key frames can be specified (e.g. linear interpolation)

I need to have some links in those Flash movies that can control visibility of other DIVs. In other words I need a link in the Flash movie to work like DWs Show-Hide Elements feature. Is this even possible? I'm using DW CS3 but Flash MX 2004.

how to stop an _xmouse, _ymouse action? I built a carousel with some movieclips controlled by a _xmouse action but I would like to stop their movement when the mouse is over them, and also activated it again when the mouse rolls out.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get to grips with actionScript (a beginner) and have created a SWF that calls in a FLV file. From the SWF I control the FLV wit a Play, Pause and Mute button. This works great. BUT now the client wants just a compiled SWF file only. So from this I take it they just want a single SWF file that acts like a video player but in truth is a Flash movie with a timeline effectively embedding the original FLV.
I have tried writing my own code and scouring sites and tutorials but to no avail. What I have done so far is to import my FLV to a Movie symbol in the library. I have put a stop() command on the actionscript for that symbol. I have created three buttons, which at present do nothing. I placed the symbol on the main timeline and exported and it basically plays the video with no control. Now I hit a wall. What I want seems simple in thought but is baffling me in practice.
Now I have the Movie symbol (video) playing I want some control again via the three buttons mentioned earlier. I really want the movie to auto play when loaded and the play button to resume the playhead if the movie is paused. As you will see from the code although I have set up a variable for the mute button I have no idea what I should code to do that or indeed if it is possible. I am on my umpteenth itteration trying to get code to work but I really need help. I don't even know if what I am asking is possible.
Code: Select allfunction onMetaData(data:Object):void
{
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseMovie);

i was wondering if i set a variable on a button (the button is on level 5)
Code:
_level5.current_selection = "credits"
and i would like the movie on level 1 to recognize that this button (on level 5)has been pressed,is this script correct on an empty keyframe in level 1.
Code:
_level5.current_selection = "credits";
if (_level5.current_selection == "credits") {
loadMovieNum("credits.swf", 2);
[code].....
i've tried this and it isn't recognizing the variable.
I have been learning flash and Actionscript 3 for the past couple of weeks and i have progressed nicely with making a site. I have some images being loaded into a MovieClip which are dynamically loaded from on XML. I can set it up so clicking left/right arrows navigates through the pictures and loops or i can set it so it automatically plays without user intervention.
What i would like to do though is have the images loaded into the MC via XML but have it so that when the Actionscript analyses the XML code it creates a small circle on the stage for each image (child) and then each circle is clickable to that particular image. I know this sounds confusing so i am i just seeing if it's possible and if so how. I can easily create frames and links for the circles but i would rather it be done through AS3 if possible so that it is easily updatable.
I am looking for a very easy way to make a video player which just controled by the scrubbar. I have tried the Componet Seek Bar but that doesn't enable the viewer to scrub the bar. I am wanting to use the Scrubbar Player to view 3d models. At Zbrush they have a Scrubbar player [URL] once there click on one of the pics to view scrubbar turntable viewer. Would love to be able to show my models in this fashion.
View 2 RepliesI have created this spinning diamond flash with a dynamic frame rate controlled by the mouse cursor. it spins from the right to the left if the cursor is at the left side of the diamond and vice verse, and also the further away the cursor is from the middle of the diamond, the faster it spins.
it works perfectly awesome in Firefox and by itself, but when it's in IE, the cursor loses control of frame rate, so it spins at the highest frame rate regardless where the cursor is at. I used nextFrame(), prevFrame() to do the winding and rewinding job, and frame rate gets changed in ENTER_FRAME. I've heard some say that IE ignores frame rate per frame? is it true? if so, how do I fix it?
1) I wan't to do a fullscreen videoplayer that listens to the keyboard and that plays a videoclip on demand. I will not use menues or onscreen buttons.
It should work almost like a Video DJ application or a audio sampleplayer but for video. So; when I press any one of maybe ten keys the corresponding videoclip should be played.
I intend to run this locally using Flash player hence not on a browser or on internet so I'm not really limited by bandwidth. I'm on CS4 Flash Professional.
2) Is there a IDE, a runtime development enviroment, for Flash aimed for AS? Despite working on a daily basis with digital media for many years incl. coding in php, javascipt, asp.net, etc I still have a tough time understanding Flash and AS3.
3) A part from traditional keyboard input is there a way for Flash and/or Flashplayer to listen to an non-standard USB input, say a touchpad, joystick etc?
I have five text boxes and a dropdown box in my flex application, how can I make the progress bar fill up when there is text in each box, and the dropdown selected. For example, if there is input in three out of five of the boxes and there is a selection in the dropdown, then the progress bar would be 4/6 full.
View 1 RepliesI realize that this question can start a discussion but that's really not my intention. We've created a Flex Application to take tests from candidates. The advantage of the Flex Application is that all state can be stored in the application running in the browser of the client. Things like time limits, navigation, scoring, ... can all be handled within the application without us having to worry about a back button for instance. Even running the app offline with Adobe Air isn't that hard.
My question now is if such an application could easily be made with HTML, Javascript, Ajax, ... ? The reason I'm asking is because an application in HTML would be much easier to distribute on Mobile devices for instance. Also, our domain model for instance is mostly implemented in AS3 (Flex) so using it along the server side means porting it to C#.NET. (with two codebases as a result).

Lets say I have 3 buttons. If I move my mouse on any of them it gets an mouse over effect.
What I want to do is to combine this with the arrow keys that should be able to jump between the buttons - and the one selected is in the "over" state - to select it I press return.
Okay I've tried everything, but I'm sure this is simple. I created this popup scroll within a flash movie that I'd like to have the contents of change according to the button that is pressed.
