I need to trace the current level number that I am working on. So say I have 3 swf's loaded onto different levels (_level0, _level1, _level2, _level3), and each has a button, so when I press the button in level1, the number will trace 1, press button in level2, number will be 2, etc.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to link to one level below the current level? Instead of saying _root.level1.level2.level3, something like: ../level3 ?
View 4 Repliesis there a way of checking what level a clip is on currently?
for example, in theory
if(_level.current==1){
blah blah;
}
I have a main swf that loads 6 movies. And I know how to stack movies in levels and how to target different levels from wherever the user may be. But the trouble is the level/movie on top has to visually overlap the level/movie underneath. And this has to happen dynamically because, say my main movie points to A, B, C, D, E, and F. If I go to B from F, I need to see part of F until I see B. So if I tell Main to open ABCDEF on 1 that works fine. But I can't simply tell A to open B on level 2 because ABCDEF needs to stack on top of the former ABCDEF. Does that make sense? I've been living this for five days and it hardly makes sense to me.
Take my word for it, ABCDE & F need to overlap in a way where I can't just set their levels as one higher than the next.

i was just wondering if anyone can point me to a right direction or help me out. I have this game with "balls" coming from down and going towards up and i was just wondering how can i make more and more of them come depending on the current level.
I guess all of them are going to be copies of the same "mc" but can anyone me copying them.
Here is my dilema. I need to know how to find what level a specific movie within a movie on the main timeline is on.
I am confused because I am not even using external swf's so there should be no levels
I have tried finding the level using
_root.moviename
_level0.moviename
but when i try to assign this to an array variable it outputs as undefined.I have been able to put some other movies in arrays using _level0.moviename
but these movies are nested inside a main movie that is found on the main timeline.
I've got two different domains and both of them direct to the same website. This website has a menu on top made in Flash (the rest is HTML, so the page must be reloaded everytime I click on an option or I need new content).
But this Flash movie has to show a different animation depending on the URL.
What can I do to find out the current URL in ActionScript?
i have a project and i need that when a specific variable equals a specific value a random number decreases on the current number, its easy to make it decrease but i need to decrease instead of 4 to decrease a maximun of 5 and minimun of 3.ere is the code :

numeroDeTazos = 20;
quantidade.text = numeroDeTazos;

I am creating a flash file to display products.
Product details and images are stored in XML File.
What i am trying to create is something similar to banner on [URL]
The addition to this is that products will be scrolling right to left automatically if there is no interaction from user, and product at the center will remain highlighted.
I have created a long strip of Products cover with a mask, the long strip keeps moving to give a scrolling effect.
I'm trying to create a drag motion by using mouse_down then the mc = mouseX. Here is an image of the situation
But when I click, the mc always jumps to its registration point, which is the top left corner atm.
I can't work my head around how to grab the current location of the mc. Note that the mc (all_mc) is wider than the stage.
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent) {
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
}
[Code]....
Ok I kind of worked out the x location of the mouse in relation to the registration point of the mc (the registration is at the top left):
Math.abs(stage.x - all_mc.x) + mouseX
But how to I select that point of on the mc?
I hope i'm in the correct forum to ask this. I am trying to find the application-level configuration folder for my Flash CS4 program.
I assumed it would be in C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Flash CS4enConfigurationComponents
But it is not. Should I have such a folder? And, if so, where should it be?
Or do I need to create it myself?
I wanted to find a way to highlight current thumbnails, and I successfully did this by using the tutorial in the archives found here

How to find current page url from flash without calling javascript function. I was trying to get the url of the current page where my player has been embeded. I wrote this function.

I want to find a way to get the number of the current frame of the main timeline using code in the timeline.
So like in frame 10 of the timeline I put in some actions. I want to make a variable that gets the number of the current frame so I can use it later.
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var framenum:uint = currentframe;
gotoAndStop(framenum + 3);
Is it possible to check the number of movieclips in a level?
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip, which attaches to another movieclip, which scrolls.On click I want to be able to drag that movieclip away from the one it was attached to. When I just removeChild it, it's position changes. I want it to stay in the same spot until it's dragged.Any suggestion, on how I can give it that same position, when not attached?

View 1 RepliesI feel like such an idiot but after trying endlessly I still haven't managed to come up with a way to display the current frame number of nested movie clip ("ecke1") (in a dynamically created text field).The problem really is that I don't know how to have flash keep updating the variable. Here's my latest attempt:
Code:
var frame:int = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,updateframe,false,0,true);

Does anyone know an url where I can get the current time as either a string or a number? Or how do I solve the problem that flash can't create an external time? Or does anybody have a
perl-file that they wouldn't mind sharing with me that could do the trick
What is the actionscript 3 syntax for retrieving the frame number that our object is currently in ?

View 1 RepliesAt the moment I'm making a presentation for school in Flash MX 2004. I want some kind of progression bar in the presentation. This is how I have it in my mind:
2/15
2 is the current frame and 15 is the total number of frames. I know I have to do this with the use of ActionScript in combination with dynamic text labels. How can I read out the current frame number and the total number of frames?
The names of the dynamic text labels are:
"cFrame" and "tFrames"
I recently bought a new machine and tried to put my Flash 8 software onto it. The serial number was fine, but it requested the serial number of the software I upgraded from, which I no longer have (MX, I think it was. I threw it out ages ago thinking I didn't need it ). I can't even remember what email address my macromedia/adobe account was under, it might even be under an email address for a domain I no longer have.
I do still have the software installed on my old PC. Is there anyway I can find out the serial number of the MX I upgraded from off of the Flash 8 on there? Or it is a lost cause?
How can i find the square of a number?
View 5 RepliesIm looking to be able to find a number (any number) within a text string, what i ultimately want to do is crop the number out of the string to just be left with a number value, the only problem is the string could be any length and the number doesnt necessarily start at any point from the last characterI have items on the stage named 'image0', 'textfield2', 'button500' etc, as you can see the prefix before the number isnt a fixed length so I couldnt use substr and set an index, and since the number could be any number i couldnt set the index as a certain value before the end of the string. (ie it might return '500' or 'ld2' or 'ge0' in the examples given before)
