View 14 RepliesI'm building a site that will change the background depending time of day. I do want to show the time in the top of my page. What are good codes for showing a time and date in Flash and what would I use to change background depending on if the time is past 7PM or before.
Example.
If the time is before 7PM I want it to show a background with a clear blue sky. If not then the background will be a starry night. I'm using CS3.
I having a hard time on a small task that I thought was easy to accomplish, but it is taking me longer than expected and not the results I am wanting.I am developing a shooting game. I have a hero that can shoot only so often (once every half second for example). I am trying to scale a MovieClip depending on how much time is left to be able to fire again.
So when the hero shoots the gun, the MovieClip will have a scale of 0. When 250 milliseconds has elapsed, the MovieClip's scale should be at .5, assuming the gun can only shoot every half second.
Can anyone provide code on how to accomplish this? This is what I have to keep track of when the hero can shoot next,

Right I only want to play a certain part of my MovieClips Timeline depending on the button pressed.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
CircleLineMC.KingsCross.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, KingsCrossBtn);
function KingsCrossBtn(event:MouseEvent):void {
BigSquare_MC.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
But I want it to play only up to frame 50 and then stop there and then loop instead of playing the whole timeline, does anyone know How to do that.
I'm trying (and struggling) to get my head around AS3 and am building a flash webpage. I have 2 layers in the timeline, each containing a movie clip matching the page size with instance names backgroundDay and backgroundNight. What I'm wanting is for the background to change for the day and night, so that from 18:00 to 06:00 the alpha of backgroundDay becomes 0 to show backgroundNight behind.
View 5 RepliesI have a progress bar as a healthbar in a game. The healthbar regenerates 10 pr millisecond for now because i like the smoothness. But if the delay increases it would take a lot longer to regenerate.
Aren't there any formular to calculate some kind of factor for this? so the lifebar would regenerate within a constant time no matter what. If the delay is 2 seconds it would just make the regen more choppy and if delay is 1 millisecond it would just update more.
I used to work in AS2 and something like this worked:
mc1.mc2.onRelease = function () {
mc3.gotoAndStop(2);
}
But converting it to AS3, it doesn't work anymore.
function goMC (e:MouseEvent):void {
mc3.gotoAndStop(2);
}
mc1.mc2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goMC);
What am I doing wrong? I can't seem to control movieclips within movieclips.
What I have is a movieclip and a button in scene 1 (which is the main timeline).There is an actionscript layer also on the main timeline. what I want to do is when I click the button, it would do a nextFrame(); in the movieclip timeline instead of the main timeline.

For what ever reason I can't get an MovieClip that's on the main timeline to play from another MC.It appears that when targeting a MovieClip on the main timeline, root and parent don't seem to work in AS3. Or at least not in the same was as AS2.So inside a MovieClip called control_mc, I want to tell myStage_mc, located on the stage, to start playing when the play head reaches a certain frame inside control_mc.inside control_mc I've tried,
myStage_mc.play();
root.myStage_mc.play();
parent.myStage_mc.play();
myStage_mc.parent.play();
myStage_mc.root.play();
Flash complains, access of undefined property.
I'm new to flash, so I am sure I am missing something basic, but I have not been able to reference movie clips independently in code. I have set an instance name on each symbol, but when I reference in code it is undefined.
If it matters my project is set up this way:Using Flash 4 Pro. Layer one: Static Background Layers two-five: individual movie clips Layer six: transparent buttons over the movieclips.The buttons work fine, but I wanto to play the movieclips on mouse over.
I built my website on the main timeline with a fade in animation...stop(on the page) and a fade out animation. At the end of this fade out animation i would like it to call upon a variable to know what page to go to next.I am trying to tell my main timeline to gotoAndPlay a frame based off of a variable within a movieclip(about_mc this movieclip contains another movieclip which acts like a button(factsheet_mc)) that i have set in my main timeline.I set the variable with:
var buttonFrame; in the first frame of the main timeline
then within my movieclip i have another movieclip which tells my main timeline to play the out fade and remember a variable:
this.onRelease = function(){ --------"this" meaning the movieclip factsheet_mc------------ [code]........
I have a base move that loads other movies into an empty clip [code]...
View 3 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is control movieclips that are within a movie clip I have added to the stage.
First I did this:
var navcon:NavigationContainer_mc = new NavigationContainer_mc;
addChild(navcon);
This worked fine. But within this there is a mc called printBtn_mc that I want to target.I tried to declare it as a variable like I did with NavigationContainer_mc, but it doesn't work.
I want to play various sound objects a certain amount of times when the playhead reaches a certain frame and then stop playing (even if the playhead reaches the same frame again).
I hope someone will be kind enough to help me solve this problems I'm having controlling each sound.

I have an exhibitor list that loads from xml...and I have a booth layout that loads from a separate xml...I have two arrays set up so that the rented booths are stored first, and the exhibitors are stored in a separate array side by side...
if you click on an exhibitor in the list you will see the associated booth highlight in the mainwindow (and minimap too)...however if you notice, there are multiple entries in the list for some exhibitors, this is because they may rent several booths...I want to condense the exhibitor list to have one entry per exhibitor, but have the entry control all their booths, so if you click an exhibitor with 2 booths both of them would light up even though there was only one entry in the list...is this even possible with the list component provided by flash?

I am creating a Flash movie that has some PowerPoint-like pages in it. I've created an nice clipEvent script that make bullet points slide in and bounce to a stop. I want a whole bunch of clips to do the same thing, and I'd like simply to define a script globally at the beginning of the movie and apply it to all those different clips, that way if the client asks for changes I only have to change the one script, not dozens of them.
onClipEvent (load) {
originalH = this._x;
this._x += 500;
speed = 75;
pass = "right";

I am using the flex flv player component and i want to be able to skip 5 seconds forward and backwards , at the moment from what i understand from the documents it is not acurate because the movie can only skip to keyframes sometimes making the skip 6 or 7 seconds. the same goes to cue points which the flv might miss the actual point if there is no keyframe there/ my question is there any other way to use the player in a more accurate manner ? since i see on the web players that can do these skipps
View 2 RepliesI have a popup that contains a TabNavigator control. The tabs are dynamically added to the TabNavigator when the popup loads. Is there a good way to tell when one of the tabs is loaded, from the tab itself?I have a tab that requires a service call to be made, and I don't want the service call to be made unless the user actually goes and clicks the tab to view it. I could notify the tab from the popup control itself when the TabNavigator index was changed, but that doesn't seem like a good way to go about doing it.

View 3 RepliesI'm using AS3, CS5.5, on Windows764bit. I created an animation with many different layers (and nested movieclips) on the stage, then wrote a short bit of As3 to add a slider control of the playback.

I am loading an swf created in flash professional cs5 via the loader class into a flex 4.1 application. The flash file contains multiple movieclips that are exported for actionscript and those movieclips exist in many instances throughout the movie.
Iterating through everything, comparing class types seems to be the most easy but also the most redundant way to solve this. Is there any way of using the class name as a kind of global selector to access the clips?
I could also make the sub-clips in the flash listen for an event on which they perform an action, but I am not really sure what might be best.
Just wanted to aovid reinventing wheels, I want the date and time picker, I know there is already a date only picker inside flash builder.
BTW: i am using flash builder 4
