ActionScript 2.0 :: GALLERY: ScriptNoob Status Re-Revealed?
Mar 13, 2006
I searched and found one that seems like it will fit the bill. I've since lost the link, but I'm still digging and can hopefully find and post if it winds up being necessary.There's a function in the gallery that calls and moves both a mask/transition for the images and thumbs AND for the preloader bar. I love the fade in and out, but cringe at them moving.I've tried replacing values in the code, but I'm obviously doing something wrong, because I either break it (nothing loads) or the movement remains.
Basically I want to create 6 questions with input boxes next to them for the user to inset their answer. I want them to try three times and then if not correct the answer is displayed for them. In the box with a little description next to it.
Question: How many sides as a square (answer in the box) = 4 (desc to side of box says) = A square has four equal sides.
I have 3 panels that are on top of each other. (panel1, panel2, panel3) I've attached an image of what my flash looks like and an example of what I want it to do. I need them to slide over to the right (being revealed) when clicked on and then retract when another has been chosen.
Eventually I would like it to show our projects along a horizontal axis, when the user clicks an image additional images and text is revealed. At the moment I have got the horizontal axis working with images loading in and separating into each project. Now I am trying to code it so that for every project a mask is loaded in with the height of the mask equaling the length of the pictures (which I think may need me to restructure my code). So that only the first image is shown.
The important code for this is: function processXML(e:Event):void{ var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data); xPos = 0; yPos = myXML.@YPOSITION; thumbWidth = myXML.@WIDTH; thumbHeight = myXML.@HEIGHT; [Code] .....
I'm not sure if i need to restructure the code so that for every project in the xml file it inserts the images of that project into a new movieclip, not sure how to do that though.
I need to have my url displayed in the bottom of internet explorer. so when I create a link in flash to an external site it displays link on the bottom of IE link any html page links do. Is this possible to do threw actionscript or would i have to shoot it out to a external java script to make it display down there?
I am connecting to a Java game server via an XMLSocket and serving the crossdomain.xml policy file via loadPolicyFile(). The problem is, the thing either works, or it doesn't Is there any way I can get any status information back from loadPolicyFile() ?file didn't load, file is invalid, anything. Is there a way to attach an onLoad handler to this? The documentation claims that this thing will wait for a response before it attempts any connections.

I have a flex business application and need to create some control that will show a small picture symbol of given user's MSN messenger status (online, away etc.)
Alternatively, how to insert an html page inside flex form?
There is a HTML code snippet on MSN site (supposed to be) doing exactly what I want, here it is:
[Code].....
Also I'll need to replace eb892994c712bb83 in this snippet with user's cid code.
I'm trying to learn how to get my own facebook & twitter wall status into flash so that I can export it out and install it in my iPhone.After reading the facebook and twitter API documentation, I'm still very confussed on how to use them.
The goal is using JS from FLASH to communicate with the status bar, so when flash nav buttons(mc) are active they send a text description to the status bar, like the title attribute in an anchor link. How would this be done?
I'm somewhat ashamed I don't know the solution to this problem of mine. This is easy stuff. Anyways can anyone tell me the best way to retrieve the property of the current frame of an MC in a flash movie which may be stopped at frame 10, frame 20, etc? As in, if mc1 is stopped at frame 20, then gotoAndPlay frame 21 of mc1 once buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are pressed
ActionScript that retrieves the property of a frame in an MC's timeline which the MC is stopped at, that's all. I'd be reading more about a solution online and in my books but I'm pretty pressed on time right now. All I can think of is using true/false statements as a substitute for this missing, maybe nonexistent code for "get frame property" (if frame stopped at 20 big= true.... if true then play frame 21 once these buttons are pressed.. but not if big = false )
I somehow haven't dabbled much with if/else, true/false statements.
I can create buttons using flash. and i have change buttons colors when the mouse over status of the button. but the problem is i cant set the status of the button.as a example in above site if the user click the FAN Club button button will change in to a different color ( ash rectangle).
I'm currently learning AS3 to develop my own game but my previous experience in game development is with LUA script. Within Lua script, you can write/script objects with different statuses with IF statements. For an example,

I Have rollover buttons in Flash cs3 using actionscript 2 and i need to have a "visited" status.Every visited button would stay on the rollover image and indicate to the viewer that he's been there.
I just wanted to know if anyone knows how i can determine when an externally loaded SWF has finished Playing.... The swf i am loading cannot be edited so i cannot add any flags etc into it.... i load the swf into a new movie my_MC.loadMovie("OENAV3.swf"); and then i want to be able to see when that swf has finished playing....ie) all the way to the end of the swf....not just finished loading....
ive been building a site for about a month now and slowly piecing it together- so far ive managed to get all my various different levels loading and unloading the way i want them to, but now id like a little status bar to load on screen as my multiple levels are loaded in the background.The way ive been accomplishing this without the load bar is like so:on first frame of main movie loadMovieNum("dl_web.swf", 3);load MovieNum("dl_ illustration.swf", 4);loadMovieNum("dl_retouching.swf", 5);(the first frame of each of those movies has a stop function on it)And i have buttons on the main movie that make each of those levels visible and play.NOW, ive just created a movie clip ive named "bar" which is a thin rectangle, and i would like to have that movie clip load lengthways as my multiple levels are loaded in the background. So, my question is how do i accomplish this? I've looked all over and it seems like all the good preload tutorials are loading into movieclips whereas i am loading into levels.Right now my site is technically working, but there will be pauses for people with slower internet connections and i need my bar graphic to pop up so they dont think they are dealing with a broken site....
What is the correct syntax to calculate an XML object's loading status and relay the value to a movieclip? I'm using the following, but nothing's happening. The math is being loaded but the movieClip doesn't change size. xmlLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, barProgress); function barProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void { var loaded:Number=event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal; barPro.scaleX=loaded; } My barPro movieclip remains the same size.rong?
I watch shows and videos on web sites Often the web site uses Flash Player to display these videos. I wrote a plug-in for my Firefox web browser to log what I have watched or (if I had to stop) where I left off.
I have a bunch of potential random strings for recvStream.play("randomstring");then i have a timer checking every 5 seconds on a function that runs an event listener:
then im thinking in a switch statement i can use it to check if it's an active stream or not to either have it search for another stream that should be active or stop the timer and let it play.
// i was thinking this would verify it's playing and then that's it case "NetStream.Play.Start" : trace("ITS PLAYING YOU SHOULD SEE SOMETHING");[code].....
//I also tried NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound instead of NetStream.Buffer.Empty didn't work either.But it really doesn't work like that. Is there something else I should be using instead of NetStream.Buffer.Empty ? Or something else all together? I'm using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS5 and I'm using Cirrus RTMFP
How do I go about creating a socket based status reporting system for an AIR app? What I have in mind, is you connect to the app via socket connection with some sort of terminal. It presents you with a list of options, you issue commands back, and it reports back any stats and messages. (This is for an app running on a remote kiosk, connected via 3G.)
I am creating flash panorama image viewer. There is a movie, left, right button, and some other buttons. Left and right buttons are triggering Timer, on MouseDown (timer is on), on MouseUp, switches timer off. timer function moves picture picture.x = picture.x + 20 (other side -20).
That works well. Other buttons are moving picture to the specific locations of picture.x and that works well too. There is a dynamic text, which is reading value of the picture.x Dynamic text is reading well, if left and right buttons are clicked, but can not read if other buttons are pressed, ones who are taking picture to the specific location. I presume that it is not picking up the value of the picture, because the program was not refreshed after taking picture to the new location. How can I refresh program in order for dynamic text to read value of picture.x?
I have two audio files. I want one to play (inter) when a button is pressed but only if another audio file (magnificent) is currently playing. I have tried using the following...
ActionScript Code: yellow.onPress = function() { if (_root.magnificent.playing!=1){
[Code]....
...but it doesnt seem to differeniate whether it is playing or not. The "inter" audio still plays even if the "magnificent" audio isnt.
