creating a preloader that displays the numbers spelled out instead of the actual numbers?
[Code]....
I need to convert a many paged document into numbers.
logicly a=1, b=2, ..z=26 & 1=1, 2=2, etc.. the numbers of the letters need to be seperated by comma's
and the spaces between words must be replaced by dashes
so for example: "i am crazy for doing this" should look like this:
"9-1,13-3,18,1,26,25-6,15,18-4,15,9,14,7-20,8,9,19"
does anyone know of a script that will take up to 500 words per conversion, or does anyone know a application that will be able to do this? unlimited amount of words would even be better.
I just need to display Numbers as well as in Words also in the Text field.
For example
99999 - NINETY NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE
for this i plan to use Array
like seperate the given numbers to array ([9][9][9][9][9])
then convert these number in words
create a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.
creating an array of words from a string?

[Code]....
I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...
so i search for keywords ofc, but...doing this isn't really my thing:input.text.indexOf("spam") != -1 && input.text.indexOf("more") ! -1 && ... etc
I'd like to make it some what like:input.text.indexOf(<database>) != -1
I've been Googling tutorials and so forth but can't find something like this.I wanna do a Preloader, except rather than having"50% Loaded"I want"fifty percent loaded"How does one do this, without having to write in 100 frames of individual text?
View 3 RepliesI have a preloader and I've noticed that the percent_tf.text doesn't always show the percent loaded.
View 3 RepliesI am working on an interface project and I'm putting the final touches on it. I have a preloader, an intro, and the actual interface. I have the intro being called in by the preloader and the interface being called in by the intro. My problem lies in the preloader (I think). What's happening is once the preloader gets to 100, everything but the number "100" goes away and my intro starts. So all through my intro, there's a big "100" sitting in the middle of the frame. Once the interface appears, though, the number goes away.
View 1 RepliesThe preloader works perfect but I would like it to display text instead of numbers as it loads. So it would be like "one, two, three, four,...." What do I need to do?Code is below
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()+_root.holder_mc.g etBytesTotal())/1024;
loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()+_root.holder_mc. getBytesLoaded())/1024;[code]......
For example, on the previous scene i have 4 objects, you have to drag one of them into an area and will go to the next scene once dropped. Depending on which object was dropped, a specific number will show up for it. How do i assign these objects the numbers and how do i output these number into this text box?

View 3 RepliesI need to create an array with objects when using random numbers. This is the script I have:
ActionScript Code:
if(_root.EnemyCar.hitTest(_root.kill)){
_root.EnemyCar.removeMovieClip();
var lol6 = Math.floor(Math.random()*200);
if (lol6==2){_root.attachMovie("EnemyCar", "EnemyCar", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74, _y:-100})};
if (lol6==1){_root.attachMovie("SwatVan1", "SwatVan1", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:114.9, _y:-45})};
if (lol6==0){_root.attachMovie("OilTanker", "OilTanker", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:74, _y:-250})};
}
As you can see the random number is from 0-250, I want to be able to have enemycar spawning from 2-20 and other movie clips spawning from 20-40 etc.
how would you go about creating a random equation? i would like to randomly generate two individual numbers, a random operator (out of +, -, *, /) between these numbers and then the user would input a number to answer the equation... any thoughts on this?
View 4 RepliesI am not sure why the following code is not working. If I keep the ns.play("flv/movie/flv"); line outside of the PlayerStatusHandler the movie plays fine but I am trying to create a preloader for the flv using ns.bufferTime. My first switch statement works fine, but the second case is never called.
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);

the image I load using the tutorial loads really fast (it's only 240kb) which basically means that the progress bar just blinks and completes so fast that people who don't know what's going on won't know what just blinked.
My question therefore is this:Is it possible to tell the preloader, that even if the image is already loaded, the progress bar will take for example 2 seconds to complete?
That way people with fast connections will see the preloader for 2 seconds and people with slower connections will see the preloader for whatever time it takes to load the image.
Here's the code from the tutorial:
Code:
var imageLoader:Loader;
function loadImage(url:String):void {
// Show Preloader
preloader_projekt1.visible = true;

I've tried a variety of tutorials and had no success in creating a preloader for my game.I can't seem to get all of my library items to load in frame 1 properly. Any tutorials that I try do not achieve the preloader effect that I desire.What I would really, really like is this:A .swf file that wraps my .swf game and puts in a preloader.That's it.How do I do this, or specifically, what should I be typing into the search window of this forum?
View 2 Replieshow to create a mask like this with ActionSript.It looks like a curtain opener and i would like to do this completely programmaticly if its possible.I am using TweenLite as my Tweening Framework.[URL]
View 0 RepliesI studied the above mentioned tutorial. I used this code.
function SetProgress(value:Number)
{
progress.width = value*base.width;
}
preloader.SetProgress(.5);
When I experimented it, got an error like this.
Access of undefined property base.
I gave all the movieclip names correctly.
I'm creating a portfolio which will load thumbnail pictures from a XML file.What I want to do, is simple, create a simple pre-loader for all the Thumbnails.My code is as follows:
Declare Variables =>
Quote:
var columns:Number;
var my_x:Number;
var my_y:Number;
[code]....
So, here is where the problem is. I want to show a progress clip (possibly one of those circle ones) while the Thumbnails are being loaded.What i have already tried to do is to add the code to insert a movieclip in the callThumbs function. But after that I couldn't remove the Progress child using the thumbLoaded function since it was declare in the previous function.
I am working on school project for a beginner Flash class. The code I was given in class for the preloader does not for my particular flash movie. Q #1: can you create the pre-loader within the same file as the movie (ie separate scenes)?Q #2: if yes, why wouldn't it wouldn't work for me? i was told that it doesn't for all files, but i would like to know why?Q #3: is there a way to do it through two different files with coding (the preloader file pulling up the movie file)?

View 2 RepliesI am creating a photo gallery using the loader component, however some of the jpgs are around 240k so I want to add a custom preloader. The issue I am having trouble with is... how do I set up a preloader that I have made to activate when the loader component loads a new jpg via the myLoader.contentPath = "sample.jpg"???
I am using a sliding thumbnail gallery w/ a static main image behind.
Anyone have a tip for settingup a preloader for the loader? Never had much luck making preloader.

View 3 RepliesI am making a visual timer using a preloader technique where you create a 100 frame animation and some simple math calculations and gotoAndPlay. I've got it working, but once it starts up, it wont play the frames. Just sits there for a second before the timer hits the first tick, then it goes on fine.
Code:
Select allvar seconds_timer:Timer = new Timer(1000); //One Second Delay.
seconds_timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, notifier);
function notifier(event:TimerEvent):void {
var seconds:Number = (seconds_timer.currentCount);
var percent:Number = Math.floor((seconds*100)/speed);
[Code] .....
The speed var is a number that the user sets in the XML config file... I am using this for a slideshow on a client's website. I have a suspicion that the issue is with how I reset the timer and start it again. Is there a better way restart the timer?
I have an animation that is contained within a movieclip. It is an animation of a car traveling round a globe. The car is set to a circular motion guide. I would like to use this as a preloader. What is the best way to get an animation to play in time proportionally as it is loading. i.e the animation finishes when the site loads. If this is not possible what other methods are there to create circular loaders as opposed to linear bars that increase in size.
View 5 RepliesIts meant to be a background preloader, so it loads stuff in, but if the user selects something it stops, loads the choice item and removes it from the "to be loaded"...loadArray. so when it restarts it knows not to load it again
Setback/feature 1: if a user choices to select an item, it will continue to load whatever is loading and start to load the item they want.
Setback/feature 2: the preloader will not restart until the user calls userCont().... should I have a timer so after awhile it kicks back in?
Error: just realised I have to stop it when it gets the end of the list.
Code:
stop();
//loadArray = stuff to load
//targetArray = target for stuff to load into
//loader(loadArray, targetArray);
// call loader function

how to do this and not found much, so here goes:
I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
I am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"
var res:Number = new Number(str);
But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?
