ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Stop The Clips From Moving Change To True?

Jul 8, 2008

I am definitely not competent with code in any significant way, and although I am confident that this code is even Action Script 2, I am not certain.A client has requested that I make a simple rolling filmstrip that loops with pictures. For this I searched the Internet for hours looking for a tutorial or a downloadable Flash file that has something close to what I want. Surprisingly, amid the dozens of purchasable applications and such I stumbled across, it seemed that none had exactly what I was wanting, which seems simple.

Anyway, I was able finally to find something useful.It allowed me to do what I wanted fairly simply.However, there are two things that I cannot figure out.The original "template" file was designed so that the filmstrip moves automatically, but when the cursor is hovered over the strip, the speed of the movement increases either way relative to how close to either horizontal edge the cursor is.

I went in and edited the code to turn that off. Now, the strip stops moving whenever the cursor is on the left side of the strip, and starts when it is on the right side. Also, the strip does not start automatically on most browsers I have viewed it on.The Action Script is posted below:

stop();
//Setup////////////////////////////////////////
//totalclips on stage - make sure in the properties panel they are named imgbox1,imgbox2,imgbox3,etc...
var totalClips = 6;

//to stop the clips from moving change to true;

var holdPosition = false;

//applies a max speed for the movie clips (false if no max speed)

var maxSpeed = .1;[code]............

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash CS3 - Sam_MC Stops Moving And No Other Action Is Taken When The If Statement Containing GotoAndPlay Becomes True

Jun 16, 2011

The gotoAndPlay option isn't kicking in here. The object "sam_MC" proceeds along the specified root. But when the if statement containing gotoAndPlay becomes true, sam_MC simply stops moving and no other action is taken. When sam_MC's x coordinate becomes less or greater than a specified amount, I want the flash movie to restart. My code is located on the first frame of a layer I have named "actions." Here it is.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Make Goto And Stop True/false?

Jan 20, 2004

In Flash MX I have a movie clip that is 32 frames long and loops. Now, what I want to happen is: when you press a button in the file, the movie clip will stop at frame 22. I don't want it to "goto and stop", instead, I want it to continue playing through until it hits 22.

i.e. if you hit the button at frame 5 it will continue playing until 22. or if you hit it at 27 it plays through the cycle, but stops at 22 (if possible, it would be great if I could get it to reverse if it was past 22, but i don't want to be greedy).

Now, one way I thought of doing this was to have an "on open 'stop at 22' = false " and "on press button 'stop at 22' = true.

IDE :: Moving And Re-sizing Movie Clips?

Feb 6, 2009

I'm trying to re-size and move a movie clip using my keys, and I can do it, but for some reason, if I set a really low value to "speed", it won't move to the right or down, but it will move to the left or up, even if very slowly.

It is as if flash has problems in advancing very low values on the positive x and y axis.

Add this code to the first frame:

stop();
var speed = 0.01;
var grow = 3.6;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Duplicated Clips?

There r two function which I compare for effectiveness, createFlake uses a symbol in the library to duplicate and createFlake2 uses programming drawing to create the same looking shape.When I run this file with createFlake calls it consumes about 70% of my CPU and when I use createFlake2 my CPU is 100% busy.I would prefer to use pure programming here so my question is: Is it a "normal" result because of Flash implementation or am I doing something in a not optimal fashion?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Moving Rolled Over Clips To Front

May 3, 2009

Basically I have a group of overlapping movieclips acting as buttons. I need to bring the clip that is being rolled over to the front. These clips are nested in a movieclip which is being loaded via attachMovie into a holder clip on the main timeline. I've created a simple file which uses this code on the clips timeline and it works for two buttons:

clip1.onRollOver = function(){
clip1.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
} clip2.onRollOver = function(){
clip2.swapDepths(getNextHighestDepth());
}

However when I drop the same code into my file which has many more buttons it does not work. I've set up a trace to display depths with very strange results. Here is the code for one of the clips.

stop();
depth=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth);
createEmptyMovieClip("MC_top",9999);
MC_one.onRollOver = function(){
this.swapDepths(MC_top);
depth2=MC_one.getDepth();
trace(depth2);
}

The first trace produces a depth of -16358. The second produces no trace on RollOver. If I change it to onPress it produces a trace of 9999 for when pressed.

Attaching Movie Clips And Moving Them On Stage

Jul 25, 2010

Firstly, I want to be able to push the space bar on my keyboard during a swf, and for a movie clip to appear on the stage. This is what I have so far:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.attachMovie("Explosion", "Explosion"+i, _root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["Explosion"+i]._x = _x;
_root["Explosion"+i]._y = _y-20;
}}
but its not working....

Secondly, I want A movie clip to spawn in the middle of the stage, then randomly travel outwards to the edge of the stage, then dissapear. And this needs to happen over and over, with the same movie clip travelling to a different place each time. This is what I have so far :
Code:
onClipEvent(load){
timer = 0;
i = 0;
a = 0;
b = 0;

ActionScript 3.0 :: HitTesting Edges / Moving Movie Clips Stage Length?

Dec 7, 2010

This is sort of a multi-layered question- I have a movie clip that I sectioned off in quadrants:The red dot is the player, the stage is the size of one square. My goal is to, when the player moves to either of the 4 edges, the next section of the quadrant comes up (meaning if the player moves to the right edge, the section that borders the right edge will slide on screen, and the old section will slide off screen).I was wondering if there was a way to hitTest if an object is touching any part of the edges? Is the hitTestPoint method something I should look into? What I have so far is an object off screen (black rectangle), that when the player touches the quadrants slide like I want them to (at least I'm trying to make that work).Here is my code. I know some of it's wrong and/or I'm missing something.

if(leftKeyIsDown && player_mc.x > -15)
//-15 is half the size of the temporary player_mc

Stop Moving At Specific X Coordinates?

Im going to attatch the fla on here...I am also going to give you the script viewable here...im completely a beginner so i made my self notes
also this is not all my coding im just learning off of it to create my own project... What coding would i use to tell the mc to stop scrolling once it reaches a certain x coordinate? for example x=0 (left side of stage) or x= -484 which is when right side of picture is at right side of stage... and can i setup math for it to automatically determine the correct x coordinate (based off mc width) to stop at?? if there is easier scripting to do the same....fill me in
 
oh and x is off of the stage typically...this is panoramic pics im scrolling
