I'm making a slide show presentation, I have a child screen nested inside a parent screen. When I load the child the MC inside it seems to have already been played. I tried adding a stop(); in the first frame inside the MC then calling a gotoandplay in the first frame of the child but it doesn't seem to work and the MC doesn't play...
View 7 RepliesI have a main class that calls and removes screens with addChild and removeChild, these screens are movie clips.My issue lies in these movie clips, each clip is linked to a class - e.g. confidence.as links to my confidence screen.I am trying to add buttons and pieces of text from this class file onto the confidence screen, so essentially adding more movieclips on top of a movieclip that has already been added. I keep getting this error:TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.I could do with some help figuring out how to add objects to my screens, as I am trying to prevent having everything in one class.
View 6 RepliesI just designed a web site. It looks fine on my big screen, but a few people that I have sent it to cannot see the whole thing. They say there is no scroll bar on the right side to go down. When I lower my screen resolution to 800x600, I get a scroll bar. Are they using an old version of flash maybe? I am using Flash 9 plugin. In my publish settings, I require at least 8 and I have my dimensions set to pixels under HTML. Here is the web site: [URL]
View 10 Repliesbasically my program has this part in it where it emulates this menu system that's on a piece of hardware. So in my code I just have a bunch of objects in a hierarchy to represent the menu. Each object constructor has references to other screens. When these buttons are pressed, they go to one of the screens referenced in the constructor.

I have a project which has 2 html, 2 swf and 2 fla files. I have a default form and I would like to call another form or screen form a button click.
Does each screen or scene have to have it's own html page. Or can you call up the scene change through flash code?
Currently I am using
btntest.onRelease = function () {getURL("http://www.website.com" , "_parent" );}
I was wondering if anybody could help me out and tell me why my flash site looks different on different size computer screens?
I have built a site in flash and when I preview in html it looks different to how it does on my flash canvas (the text is a different size and takes up a different amount of space than on the original flash document). Then when I publish it and make it live it looks different on different size screens. On my laptop the text all fits in, but when I view it on my desktop the text cuts off, so that the last few lines of each text box is missing? What's going on?
I want to make an application that works on 2 screen.on screen1 I need to make GUI with several buttons, sliders, radio buttons, field for dynamic texton screen2 (big screen / LED / video projector) I want to output photos and simple vector animations that are controlled with GUI on screen1 I don't know if it is possible in Flash to have one output with GUI and other with content. Does Flash recognize multiple screen outputs? Is there an action script command to tell flash projector: this put on screen1 and this put on screen2.
View 3 Repliesif inside a movieclip my_mc I have onPress=function_1;
and then on the main timeline I have
attachMovie("my_mc","my_mc",1);
my_mc.onPress=function_2;
Then function_1 will not be called at all as my_mc.onPress=function_2 will screen off the internal onPress=function_1?

I think I understand how to make a interface but the problem is im unsure as to how to add it to my existing code! To make a interface (as far as i know) You can create classes such as mainScreen, intructions and so on. Ok i get that, make the classes then add ther buttons from the library i these classes. But i followed a tutorial bu Emmanuel Feronto, and adapted that to the needs of my game.
So im unsure as how to add these 'Screens' to my current class, the I currently only have 1 class, Main which currently has 300 lines of code, and i dont know how to break it up into smaller classes. Thats the problem i think, The main is quite large, normally i have heard people keep this clear... But then say i made a bland main, and added the screens into that then how do i make the main that makes the game play on the play button?
I'm currently developing a prototype using AS3 and trying out some touchscreen gestures. I'm compiling using AIR 2.0 and currently have GESTURE_ZOOM and GESTURE_ROTATE working but for some reason GESTURE_SWIPE is giving me a few headaches. I know It's possible as I've seen it working here, using the same laptop (DELL LATITUDE XT2 & N-TRIG) as I'm testing on.

I am making a game. And this time trying to implement menu (-->tutorial) -> game-> scoreboard -> game over screens.
These screens themselves are quite different in terms of structure. So i am not sure if states is a 100% correct approach here (as I understand states are good for similar layouts) From the other hand many of them has back button to return to previous state, e.g. in tutorial I will have start game and back to menu buttons, etc.
I have several screens for flash and these screen have so many dynamic texts. We need to support these texts in different languages like "Spanish", French and English.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project and I need to link multiple screens so that when you click a button it will go to the next screen.I know how to do this via the timeline but I have to do it in action script with addchild.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to make a dynamically loaded image actually move across my screes. So far, my script loads the image, but stops after 1 frame. Without the loaded image everything works just fine. It's all Action Script, so my gues is that I probably missed something along the way.Here's my script:
Code:
scaler.loadMovie("image.jpg");
set the starting value for 2 variables
var targScale = 45;[code].........
There are 77 classes in my project and around 30 of them are linked to MovieClips. If I do a size report it says that my Actionscript classes are 110296 bytes.
I am having a mysterious problem. I have a MovieClip, and I would like to link a class to it in the library.
But I get the following error:
The class or interface 'gui.screens.game.ContinueGame' could not be loaded.
The class at the moment is empty (see code below), although I have tried renaming, deleting and recreating it a few times.
Code:
class gui.screens.game.ContinueGame extends MovieClip {
public function ContinueGame() {
}
}
I have also tried linking the class to other MovieClips that have been successfully linked other classes before - which didn't work.I have tried linking other classes I have used before to the MovieClip - which worked. So the problem lies with the linking of the specific class. Since I have tried renaming it, I'm wondering if there is you can only link a certain number of classes or something. Or I am missing something obvious and will kick myself when I find it.
Has anybody had Flash player debuuger suddenly stop working for no reason whatsoever. What I've found so far: - No exception screens popping up.. in ANY browser. Reinstalled debugger version of flash player, no go. - Flashbug not showing in Firebug - No trace calls visible in FlashDevelop - Flash IDE behaves normal.. all trace calls visible - Firefox updated about the same time but problem seems to be on a wider scale This started approximately, on Sunday 8th Januray (or saturday).
View 1 RepliesTaking this thread to the next level and now making a Main.as class to display different "screens" of my game.For right now I only have 1 screen called ControlPanel, but this will eventually have multiple levels (each level will be a separate screen) and a level selection screen, etc. added. So at this point I'm losing control over how to give things access to the stage (in other words... it's getting really thick with multiple levels and this noob's brain is being overloaded lol).
To start off, I took all of my graphics that were on the stage by default (buttons, lights, meters, score text, etc.) and created a new symbol (MovieClip) that I called ControlPanel and checked off "Export for ActionScript" with a class name of ControlPanel. So now my games fla stage is black and I made it's document class Main.as. which looks like this:
public class Main extends MovieClip {
public var controlPanel:ControlPanel;
public function Main() {[code].........
Running this worked perfectly in that my Control Panel screen popped right onto the screen. Of course all the buttons didn't work yet but that is the next step. So I modified my old Game.as to now be called ControlPanel and read like so:
public class ControlPanel extends MovieClip {
private var docRef:Main;
private var _player:Player;[code]...........
this is a hodgepodge of ideas torn between the docRef and the View idea. I need to have access to the stage for my mouse and keyboard listeners, but then I also need access to the buttons in the ControlPanelView symbol. Do I need to pass both the view and the docRef here? How to I maintain access to the stage and the ControlPanelView graphic?
i have two MC with two swf files loading into them on my main file. what i am trying to do is have buttons in one MC move something in the my 2nd mc. i know that the _root. will work for controlling my main file but I'm don't know how to go about controlling anything inside of other movie clips.
View 5 RepliesI have 4 buttons in a mc (go to frames and then call up individual swfs (one, two etc)) and play within mc eg.
[Code]...
A person can start any swf by clicking a button and then change the swf by clicking another button.
Is there a way to check if a .swf is running and only work when none are running?
I have a site I am working on which has a Flash intro. The other pages of the site hold a menu that's created in Flash. For some reason my client wants the ability to go back and view the intro again, which is easily accomplished with navigateToURL. HOWEVER the intro is broken into two distinct parts and I need to target the second part, which would require something along the lines of gotoAndPlay(500); or something to that effect.
What I am having problems with is how do I target a specific frame in a completely different movie, the intro, using a button from the Flash menu within the site. I'll try to explain it a bit easier. The top button on staticMenu.swf, which is placed throughout the site (aboutus.aspx, portfolio.aspx, etc...) needs to target frame 500 of mainIntro.swf which is embedded in default.aspx.
I'm mostly a point-and-click user of flash. I'm in CS5 and have built a simple flash website (with A/S1-2) having a primary swf (content.swf) and other transparent swf (home.swf, contact.swf, etc.) that load in for each menu button. When another menu button is clicked, my A/S instructs to unload all mc's from level 1 and load in the next swf in that same level.My challenge. I need to have a button in "home.swf" go to, say, "contact.swf". How can this be done?
View 3 RepliesI have to control one swf file with anoter. The situation is as it follows: there are two swf files in my HTML page. One of them contains a movie clip, and the other - buttons, which must control the first one - for example play this movie clip, go to a frame in this movie clip and so on. Is this possible? Maybe there is a way to connect both swf files with AS and after that use the inner instance names.
View 2 RepliesI have 2 swf's on one HTML page in 2 sperate cells of a table. Each one is a file-o-fax style tab menu. I want to be able to make the tabs in the unselected swf retract to their original position, when using the other swf.
Not sure what I mean? Check out [URL]
Is there a tut kirupa or other on controlling one swf from another.so clsic example having a loaded playback bar then loading vid or mucis and the universal playback bar can control it.Could this be done either way of loading swfs (Into a movie on the main swf or loaded by levels?)
View 3 RepliesI've got two Movie Clips "MC1" & "MC2" on my main timeline with buttons that give them life so if i click on "MC1" then it plays the open and stops on the "up" frame the next frame in the movie is the "out" which plays the Movie Clip out. but when "MC1" is up and you click on "MC2" i want "MC1" to play the out frame. I'm guessing at this but is this anywhere close?his is the code attached to the button inside of "MC2"
Code:
on (release) {
if ( _root.MC1 = ("up"))

I have a external .flv movie, that loads as a full screen background movie on the main stage. Using the Netstream class and the instance name of 'netStream' I just want to be able to pause/play this movie when the user click on a button. The button is inside a movieclip.
I thought something like this:
on (press) {
netStream.pause("http://www.website.com/background.flv");
}
I'm attempting to create a website that uses externally loaded swf files into a shell animation like in Creating A Full Flash Site, only I'm trying to give each swf its own website url (ie. site.com/home, site.com/page2) while still using a single shell animation.
View 1 RepliesI have three buttons I have built as MC's. In each on the MC's timeline I have another MC's with instance name voted01_mc, votecd02_mc, and voted03_mc, respectively. And each of the MC Buttons have instance names Q01_btn, Q02_btn and Q03_btn.
I would like to find a way to control the "visibility" of a movie clip inside one movie clip from inside another MC. I am sure there is a way to do this such as:
Q02_btn.voted02_mc._visible = false;
Q03_btn.voted03_mc._visible = false;
if the MC I wanted to make invisible was on main timeline I would do something like:
root.voted02_mc._visible = false;
root.voted03_mc._visible = false;
SO this would be inside Button MC 01 making the MC inside 02 and 03 invisible.
