i am making a game where a ninja runs through a course, every thing is running smoothly. EXCEPT hittest will not work, hittest never works on ANY of my projects. I know im doing it right, because ive even tried copying and pasting working ones. Look at the attached fla file to see what im talking about.is it my computer that wont let it work, because the exact codes worked for all of the people on youtube that used it.
View 2 RepliesI have a drop down menu on my website and it works perfectly fine except for some of the links. i don't have the other pages made yet but i still have the links to the pages in the buttons in my drop down menu. For some reason when i click on the buttons in the drop down menu, they don't go to the pages, they don't do anything. But when i click on the buttons in the sub drop down menu in side the main drop down, they work
the code for each button is the on(release) get url code, is their a different code i can use that will make these buttons work? here is the link to the website so you can see what I mean. the paralegal services button is the one with the drop down.[URL]
I have a mc that you should drag to the right mc.The mc that you have to choose from are sometimes a little close so I made a code that the mc that you drag will xscale so it will be smaller.But then if I press on the end of the mc before dragging the mc is outside the mouse and you cant use the OnRelease code.How to avoid that.Enclose a small fla, and the code is:
function god ( t,t1,t2){
t.onPress = function(){
this._xscale = 20;[code].......

I have a button on which an effect will play (_root.loc.gotoAndPlay part) but i only want this to happen once (the first time you roll or dragover the button)So i thought i'd do this by making a variable on the root (the lettlook variable, which by default is "no") and then on the rollover, dragover first play the loc movieclip and then set the variable to "yes" (so it'll never trigger again after the first time)so this is the script i made
Code:
on (rollOver, dragOver) {
if (_root.lettlook == "no") {
_root.loc.gotoAndPlay(2);
[code]....
Problem is, of course, that it doesn't work. It doesn't play the loc movieclip and it doesn't change the lettlook variable to yes.
I can't make the tween to work. I've tried hundreds of tutorials and such (and they are all basically the same), I even followed the troubleshooting section of this tut with no results.If I download any file with that same script it works, if I copypaste it and do the exact same thing it doesn't. Maybe is something very simple that I just can't see but this is driving me nuts.

Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;

new Tween(ball_mc, "_x", Elastic.easeOut, 0, 300, 3, true);
I've created an horizontal sliding stock ticker that uses a xml feeder provided from another site.The ticker is now working fine if preview it doing ctrl + enter or if I see the swf with the flash player.

I created a News Ticker in Flash CS3 from a tutorial on your site URL...But it just flashes "undefined" I know I must be messing something up with the location of the XML file or where it's defined in the action script. I don't think I understand the "cache" part of the tutorial or why the file can't be local? I have gone to the suggested links in the tutorial, and being a total novice, I must be missing some main point.

View 3 RepliesI have a web page generated with PHP which has a lot of divs with rollover effects. It represents a table with more than 200 cells, but is made of divs instead of a table because I've read they are more efficient (specially in IE8 which has turn out my nightmare in this project!) In the same page I want to put a ticker for user messages with horizontal text scrolling. I have tried to implement the ticker in different ways: pure Javascript or with jquery pluggins: [URL] Well, the thing is that the ticker works great when the page loads, but as soon as the user starts to move the cursor over the table (rollover effects are triggered) the ticker becomes very jerky in IE8 (Firefox works almost perfect)
After a lot of work tunning my PHP/HTML code I gave up and decided to embed a flash object for the ticker in order to relieve the browser part of the scripting and delegate it to flash. My surprise was that it had the same defect. I am not an expert in how the browser deals with flash objects but I really though it would be a solution. I've found a example which illustrate the problem. [URL] This a page with a commercial flash object. It's really much more than what I need, but if you try (with IE8) to move the cursor around the right section of the page, over the elements with rollover effects, you'll notice that the ticker becomes less smooth. Imagine that within a page with 200 divs!

I am action script handicapped so bare with me. I know very basic action script functions like go to frame stop, play ect So complicated flash code does not really work for me unless it is explain easy and clear step by step. I know the animation portion of flash which helps me get by. I need to know how to pause a scrolling text as simple as possible when I click mouse over it.
I created a button (which is really displayed as text so that I can link to a website url) (SEE IMAGE)
The text is animated from frame 1 off screen to frame 400 top off canvas off screen. I did this the animation way instead of the coding way. So it should scroll from bottom to top (which I animated with frames), link to a new site (which I figured out), and pause on mouse over and play on mouse off.

View 0 Replieshow to create a simple horizontal news ticker [URL].
View 14 RepliesAnyone know of a good news ticker component? (Or a straightforward way of coding one in AS3?) We need to incorporate a horizontal ticker at the bottom of a site. It doesn't need to feed RSS. It'll just be populated with little factoids the client will provide. I initially purchased and integrated this one[url]...
Worked pretty well. Unfortunately, the developer who is building out the site just informed us that we need one that works in a .net environment and this component parses the XML through PHP. I'm a noob at all this so I don't even know exactly what I'm talking about!
Anyone have a ticker animation class for AS3?

Im trying to make an ad that has a national debt moving up. You have seen them right, 11 trillion and counting. Im trying to do something similar, it would be great to import a flash ticker, but the prob is that they usually have a link to their site, and that is something I don't want. Another way is just to mimic the ticker, but is there a .fla or actionscript, with that I can start a dynamic number at 11 trillion, and just have it count UP?

I've been trying to figure this out myself for 2 weeks and just can't get it. I have done this the non-actionscript way by making each movieclip move across stage with motion tweening, but I know it would be much more efficient and easier to modify if it was all actionscript.(To see example, look at bottom of my company's Web pagehave cobbled some code and think I know how to create the MCs and animate them across the screen: (note eventually this will include 50 logos, but to figure this out I'm starting with just three--logo1, logo2, logo3)

I'm trying to make a ticker that should show my message as a "typewriter". But it behaves very strange... see attached swf. I have never worked with Flash/actionscript before, so it might be something very simple
This is my code:
var n:Number=0;
var txt:String = "testing ticker";
var len:Number = txt.length;
function tick(){
if(n<len){
txt_bussgods.appendText(txt.charAt(n)); n++;
setTimeout(tick, 1000);
}else{
stop();
}}tick();
how to create a dynamic news ticker like one of these? Only that it would scroll longer sentences? Of course the first idea is just load single line TextField and tween it across the screen beneath a mask. I don't like this because
a) It's retarded
b) Your swf width is quite long even if you don't see it, it's there.
c) It's retarded
I'm trying to think up a better solution. So far I haven't thought of anything better (does that mean I'm retarded?). Some other brain stormed ideas could be parsing each word in the String into it's own Sprite, as BitmapData, and sort of train tweening those, that was you can dispose each after it's cleared the screen. This seems like too much work, and potentially draining on the system's resources, having to create new instances, and repeteadly add them to the display list, and such.
