How do move this code onto my one frame in root? I have to tweak some stuff, right?
I've got a file that loads 4 external swf files. I've got everything correct as far as how it's listening for when each one is finished loading and then the next one knows to play. So I can get each one to play right after the other just fine. My problem is that they don't all have the same number of frames so in between the movies, there's a blip of a previous movie showing up (atleast I think it's due to varied movie length). I want to put in a removeChild function when it's listening for each movie to finish loading. But when I put in: removeChild(myLoader);, it says myLoader is undefined..
Code:
var a:Array = new Array("movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf", "movie4.swf");
var iArray:Number = a.length; // number of movies
var iCount:Number = 0;
function manageMovies(){
loadMovie(a[0])
}

im trying to create this custom menu a bit more efficiently. As written, it operates fine glitch free. However, id like to incorporate some easing into the movement of each movie clip.
[code]...
how to incorporate tween classes and then easing?
I've built a code to cyclically move a scene on the bottom of my stage; I've done this to make a slowing-and-stop-easing effect at anytime the command will arrive. The entire scene mc is _x long something like 6000 px. The whole code goes in this way:
1) importing on the stage (with attachMovie) a mc with this code inside:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x -= countermovement;
if (_parent._parent.fondo_mc._x <= -5800) {[code].....
The code goes right, but I need to improve it.Now there is just a variable, I tought to use two vars to implement the whole code in a setInterval, but maybe it's unuseful, and actually I can't use it in the right way.
Second issue: actually when slowAndStop function is called the scene slow too fast, if I take it to 15 it slow better but the scene is running too fast...
The best would be that the scene slow down and stop following: A) a temporal variable (and I can try to implement it with setInterval, that for istance is a cycle)
B) an indipendent moving variable, so that on one side I set the speed, on the other side I set the slow-and-stop in a matter of time with countermovement.I also tried to use a second variable:
var counter:Number = 15;
// set the _x increment
var countermovement:Number = counter/2;
but the scene slow and goes backward a bit
I'm familiar with how to ease something in using motion math. Easing out would not be that bad either. But how would I script something easing in half way, then easing out the second half? It would start slow, gradually move faster, then slow to a stop at the end. - almost like a sine wave I guess?
View 1 RepliesI'm designing a website in flash & have imported my images into the library & have placed them on the stage, but when I go to "test movie" to preview my page, some of the images look like this [URL] the funny thing is, when I look at the images on the stage they look fine, it's only when I test my movie that they look cut off.
View 3 RepliesI have played some more with Flash and come upon something that i would know more about.I tried to make:A scene. when I click the left mouse button on the stage an object(from the librery [graphic]) will be place exactly where the mouse is.I did not really know how to approach this, but tried anyways.
This is my code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, addApple);
Function addApple(event:MouseEvent):void{
//I dont know what to put here to place an object(apple) from the libery
//onto the stage where the mouse is.
};
I need to place a div tag above literally everything else on the page. I've read that setting wmode param to opaque will do it, but also heard that that will only effect IE.

I've got a few questions for the technical side of a project we're working on and I'd really just like to know if it would be possible before I present it to the rest of my group. The idea is to create a wall on which the user can write down several words on their chosen locations (like a brainstorm), then click one of them to continue with it..
Is it possible to create an editable textfield at the cursor's position on a mouseclick and (if even needed) make it active so the user doesn't have to click twice? And then repeatable on multiple locations on the workarea..
I'm assuming the text autoresize function would still work and that I could add a random small rotation to it (It has to look like you're writing on a wall).
Then, on the next step, I'd like the user to be able to pick one and click on that to continue.
I'm guessing it involves creating a movieclip with a textfield in it and then load that from the library on the canvas on mouseclick.. What I'm most worried about is the user having to click twice to actually start typing..
I tried all suggestions from the dreamweave forums and none worked.I am placing a CS4 swf movie into dreamweaver CS4 and when I preview in firefox I can't get rid of the 1 pixel white border.Have tried all settings, including setting the wmode parameters to transparentBorder set to 0, frame set to 'top', image set to top.If I change the background of the frame to blue for example, I get a 1 pixel blue line. I believe the problem is in dreamweaver.How do I fix this?

How can I add bounce easing to a classic tween in FlashCS4 ?
View 1 RepliesMy meter looks great and the needle rotates in a loop. How do I add easing to it? The meter is built from a timer event. I want the needle to bounce at the end. Rather than just adding a variable, I need some control of when it happens so I can adjust it with the animation.

I'm creating a map in flash and I would like to have a smooth movement similar to this:[URL]..i have made a start but I'm having trouble taking it to the next stage.
My code currently throws the movieclip after the mouse is release but there is no easing while the mouse button is down.

Some flash sites....have the swf centered in the browser...and when you resize the browser...the flash will automatically center itself (easily done by making it centerd)....but how do you make it EASE into the center?
[code]...
But that only centers a Background that you specify with the insance name "wallpaper" ...it doesnt center the actual entire swf or main site...
[url]
that is my test page...i would like it to EASE into the center whenever the wbrowser window is resized
Is is possible to pass easing function as variable in AS3?g.
TweenLite.to(mcDelimiter, resizeTween, { x:(stageWidthHalf-(initStageWidthHalf-mcDelimiteri_X)), ease:Elastic.easeOut } );
TweenLite.to(mcBody, resizeTween, { x:(stageWidthHalf-(initStageWidthHalf-mcBody_X)),

This is probably something simple but I'm scratching my head over easing with the Animate class in Flex 4. Basically I'm just trying to set easing via:
[Code]....
Which would be fine, except... the constructor argument is a Number, not an instance of EaseInOutBase. All of Google's results suggest that this should be defined via MXML, but I just feel... dirty doing it - rather, defining something that is purely programmatic with markup. I know that's half the nature of Flex, but still, I like to keep most of my logic/configuration in AS3. If there's a better way to animate with easing than using Animate with its easer property (eg, if this isn't the right way)
I have been trying to read earlier threads, tried out every possible thing but I cannot get the text to ease. I have a custom scroll done from the tutorial but mine is horizontal as it was needed this way. I only need to get the text ease a bit when the dragger is dragged

View 1 RepliesAs stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I'm looking for a workaround to the "AdSense does not let you choose only images but no flash" issue. I'm rather a newbie to JS, but is there any way for one script to prevent other scripts embedded in a site from detecting the presence of the flash plugin? Even if it doesn't work with AdSense, it would be nice to know if there's a hack to do this that might work in other settings.By the way, I suppose I wouldn't care if it failed to work on IE or obsolete browser versions.

I'm looking for some help converting as3 code to pixelbender code in an attempt to improve the performance of my application. This as3 code goes as follows. I scan through the Number values of a bytearray in chunks. Lets say this chunk lenght was 100 numbers I read 2 numbers (left and right) and try find the maximum values. The numbers in my bytearray are PCM data so there is millions of them and this code can often take a long time to execute, especially on a low spec machine.
The whole aim of this is to render a waveform as quickly as possible. I know very little about pixel bender. I can basically make a new file and create a shaderJob of it in flash but I'm really uncertain how to approach this...
