ActionScript 2.0 :: Carousel Sequence Resets After 6 Clicks?
Jul 20, 2011
I've been passed a flash file that uses the code below to move a set of images using left and right arrows. The user should be able to click through the series smoothly with no resets.
Essentially, the file looks like this: < (set 1) (set 2) (set 3) >
Each set contains the same 6 buttons. I added one button into the set, so now there's 7 buttons to a set. They overlapped, so I moved the left set over one button length and the right set over one button length.
After 6 clicks, instead of rolling smoothly through the buttons, it jumps back to the beginning. Did the addition of another button mess up the initial position or something?
Sadly, I'm more familiar with simple timeline and tween effects rather than this. Also, I'm using Actionscript 2.0 and CS4.
Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
Stage.scaleMode = 'NoScale';
var InitPos = 85;
My company recently contracted an outside web developer to create our new website. I have some experience with Flash, but not beyond basic timeline controls. I've been given the task to update the flash element that has a horizontal carousel. Inside, there's three series, each with 6 buttons. The controls are a left and right arrow button on either side. I added a new button into the series and moved each of the series so they no longer ovrlapped.The carousel should just rotate through continuously, but it returns to the start after 6 clicks. Please let me know if there is any other materials I need to provide. Did adding in another button change the positions in the code? If so, what do I need to do to fix it?
I found a a free flash carousel from gotoandlearn.com but don't know how to change it so the icons link to a page? I know that doesn't make sense but go to the link below and you'll download the finished piece so you can see what it does now.So basically I just want to make it so when the user clicks on an icon it takes them to a page. http:[url].....
I'm building a project that has a character navigate through a room by clicking on the floor. Right now, the walls, character, and floor are all children of the same display object for sorting purposes. My question: is there a way to disable mouse clicks to the walls and character while allowing clicks to the floor? Using mouseChildren appears to be an all or nothing deal and I can't seem to isolate individual floor/wall/character objects for use with mouseEnabled.
I'm writing a base class for a clip that holds a scrollbar and some content. I written a function that runs every frame to check if the height of the content is smaller than the height of the available content area. If it is, the scrollbar hides. The problem I've run into is that when i trace the height, every other frame it comes back as 0. If I trace the same exact value when it's used in another function it comes back correct every time. If I trace it in my document class, it comes back correct. Any idea why it comes back zero in just this one spot?
enableScrollBar(); is the function in question
Code:
package includes { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event;
I have attached the following to a button: on (press) { gotoAndPlay(1); } or on (release) { gotoAndPlay(1); }
It is meant to take the user back to frame one where they can play a game again. The only problem is that it doesn't work. When you click the button it goes to the frame but quickly resets back to the frame where the button is located. I have put stop(); code where relevant. I am unsure on what to do. I just want the user to be able to go to different frames but the button keeps reseting to the frame where it is originally located.
I have 22 rollover buttons that are a tint. On the rollover, I want the button (75px square) to disappear. On the rollout, I want it to display it's original state.I can't use visibility because it causes a flicker. When I use alpha it resets the opacity to 100% regardless of the number I set it to - e.g. rollover {button.alpha = 0;} / rollout {button.alpha = 50;} still results in a solid box.
I'm making a website. I'd love for a fish to jump up and eat a mayfly when the user rolls over the bottom of the screen. I know how to use the rollover script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) { if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) { this.nextFrame();
I have some dynamic text fields in a frame called ExerciseFrame (which contain different random numbers, texts, ... and other variables.) When I navigate to another frame called helpFrame and back to the exerciseFrame again, all variables and text fields and other random numbers,... are reset. I mean text fields which contained many data in them becomes empty! I do navigation by a button in exerciseFrame with a simple eventListener( gotoAndStop("helpFrame"); And in helpFrame another button with this code (gotoAndStop("exerciseFrame"); How can I keep the state the whole exerciseFrame unchanged when navigating away from it and back to it again? version: AS3 - Flash CS4
I animate a DisplayObject with a Motion XML (exported from Flash). The first time I apply a motion to it, everything works fine. The second time I apply a motion, the position / scale is reset to what it was before I first applied a motion. How can I keep the transform of the DisplayObject after a motion is played when I want to play a new motion ? I want the DisplayObject to start from where it was at the end of the first motion.Here's the code I use:
private function animate(motionXML:XML, target:DisplayObject):void if(!animator)animator = new Animator(motionXML, target); // Add event listerners
I am using the same java server given there. and I am creating the XmlSocket in a flex air application. When I run my air application I get a java.net.SocketException connection reset at the java server.
Basically I have an XML file that contains the paths of a few mp3 files. I have a Play button that plays them and a Next button that plays the next song on the list. These buttons work fine. I actually even am able to obtain and manipulate the songs position using the mySong.position property in order to display the songs position in the form of minutes and seconds.My problem is that when you click Next to go to the next song, the mySong.position property does not reset back to zero, like it should. So if you are 12 seconds into a song and you click NEXT, the next song starts to play fine, but the display keeps counting up from 12 seconds. I realized the .position property is read-only, so I cannot change it. If this is the case, then how does it ever reset, what causes it to reset?
I am loading the songs via the loadSound() method. Which means my only code on the Next button (other than to update some other displays) is:Code:mySound.loadSound("file.mp3", true);I do not need to use mySound.stop() to stop the previous sound, or even mySound.start() to start the new sound playing, it starts automatically. I tried using those commands and got the exact same results, the position property still did not reset.Am i missing something? I sure hope its painfully obvious and I just overlooked something simple cuz im getting a headache
I have this rotating slideshow. It works just fine when you allow it move through the four images that I want to display, it resets properly. I need to work on the 'next' button. It doesn't reset properly.
Code: Select allimport gs.TweenLite; //import fl.motion.easing.Quartic; var slidePositions:Array = new Array(0,-1000,-2000,-3000,-4000); var currentSlide:Number = 0; var slideDuration:Number = 3; getNext(); [Code] .....
I don't know how to do the actionscript tags so I am gonna use the PHP ones! PHP Code: function startTimer() { initial = getTimer()/1000; }
If this function gets called, what exactly happens here? Does it reset the timer? Or just gets the time the swf has been playing? Because when you use this mouse listener PHP Code: mouseListener = new Object(); mouseListener.onMouseDown = startTimer; It actually resets the time everytime you mouseDown. [Code] .....

I'm using ColorTransform to fill in the colors for a few objects I have. Some of them with looping motion tweens. Whenever the motion loops, it resets the color to the default. Is there anyway to make the ColorTransform stick?
button to reset position (action-script 3) how do you make a button that when pressed it resets/changes the position of a object yes i am new to action script 3 but not to flash i want button to change the x y coordinates back to the original but dont know how?
I have a TextField that is formatted with bold and blue. However, when I change TextField.text, the formatting of the textfield resets and I have to setTextFormat again. This is the code I use to set my TextField. myText is the variable for my TextField. (This is just part of my code; it is part of a function for my EventListener.)
I have this movie [URL] its for a mates building company ok here is my problem (i will explain it to the best of my abilites) i have 3 buttons which each load 1 seperate SWF into an empty movie clip eg. servicesbutton loads services.swf into contentsMC that is fine that is working fine my problem occurs when the loaded movie button is clicked on again... it resets the loaded SWF back to frame 1... how can i make the loadmove command abit more cleverer? like dont load the movie if its already loaded?
I am having a movie clip playing on a loop on the ON frame of a button , and something else on the OVER frame, and everytime i move my mouse to the button it resets the movie clips thats playing. heres my file: [URL]
I have a Flex List which is databound to a Array. My problem is that when I reorder the List using the built in dragMoveEnabled, the values are reset to the original values.I assume I need to somehow do a two-way databinding but I am not sure how.
I have a project in Flash Mx 2004. On the first frame there is a menu with 4 menu items. When the user clicks an item, they are taken to another frame with some text and an exit button that takes them back to the menu. The forward button will not become active until all of the menu items have been viewed. There is no particular order for the items to be viewed, just that they all be viewed before the forward arrow is active and the user can continue. I tried puttin an action on the exit button to disable the related menu item, however, the item just resets back to enabled each time a user re-enters the frame.
I'm having issues with something I used to do all the time in previous version of Flash.On my Main Timeline I have a "looping" MovieClip (myArrows_mc). This MovieClip's timeline just has some simple animation,for instance some arrows that run across screen.There are no stop() actions, so once the playhead reaches the end of the MovieClip's timeline, it just goes back frame 1 and plays again.
Now I want to animate a simple shape Mask over top of the MovieClip. However, everytime the playhead gets to a keyframe in the Mask Layer, the MovieClip getting masked goes back to frame 1 and plays.
In other words, let's say myArrows_mc has 100 frames of arrow animation. On the Mask layer, I have tweened a simple oval shape from 1 side of the stage to the other. The shape tween has keyframes at frame 1, 50, and 64.
When I test the movie, everything looks fine (the arrows are looping) until the playhead reaches frame 50. Then the myArrows_mc, even though it hasn't reached the end of the arrows animation (frame 100), goes back to frame 1 and plays. Then when the main playhead reaches 64, myArrows_mc again resets to frame 1 and plays.
How can I animate a Mask over a MovieClip (not a Graphic) at authortime?Also, I need the Mask to be either a shape/motion tween or a graphic... it can't be it's own MovieClip, because I need to keep it "tied" to the Main Timeline.
I made a coloring book game in AS 2.0 (I did it this way so that I could put individual pieces of code for various buttons - there are around 50). I based it off a tutorial I found online. It works really well. These are the codes I used: In a top layer, I have just in frame 1 (there is only one frame in the whole thing):
_root.fillColor = 0xFFFFFF;
Each colorable part of the picture is a movie clip with a button inside, and each of those buttons has the following code:
on (press) { color = new Color(this); color.setRGB(_root.fillColor); delete color; }
And then I have two color buttons they can "dip" their pointer into, then they can click on the colorable areas and color them. The code for the color buttons is:
on (release) { _root.fillColor = 0xC71E07; _root.brush.gotoAndStop(8); }
Note: the hex code there is for the red button; it's different for the other color.
Button 1: A "show answer" button that pops up a little graphic showing what their picture should look like. I know how to do this in AS 3.0 (I would just have the object fly in from off-stage on the button press), but not in 2.0. One thing I tried was to have it skip to a different scene or even just a different frame in which that object exists in place. The issue there is that it causes the coloring the user has done to disappear.
Button 2: A "clear board" button that resets the whole thing. I've tried using the gotoandPlay(1) action with this button, but it doesn't do anything.
I'm working with Lee Brimelow's code from his first tutorial on carousels at [URL]. I'm wondering how to add in different mc's so I'll have more than just one rotating? I'm rotating houses for real estate, so I've got all my mc's made, and labeled (item, item2, item3, item4), I just can't figure out how to get each in there...
I did the 3d carousel tutorial from gotoandlearn.com and I manage to create a background color that will load once you click an image with a movie clip called dim . However this movieclip dim keeps appearing atop my icons. I tried Swapdepths to change the orders but its not working.

I want the var dim to be behind the var t:Movieclip =home. in the preview the movie clip dim with the alpha of 80 appears on top the var t that has the carousel images.
