I need to make platform type scrolling in a flash movie. Almost any method is fine, I just need scrolling levels. Also, I think it is worth mentioning that I'm going to use many movieclips inside the levels. How to make any type of scrolling in a game.

View 3 RepliesI have an area where paragraphs of type slowly scroll up my screen. Every thing is working fine - however, if you look closely the type is scrolling pretty raggedly - as in choppy. It is subtle, but there. Just wondering the best way to scroll type - should I bitmap it into an image? Outline the type in illustrator? Or just bring it in? I have anti-aliased for animation checked - and have tried multiple options, but not seeing any huge differences.
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a site for a customer: [URL].. The problem is that when you click on "About," then "Gear," then scroll down, and then click on another link (like "Photos") the pane does not go back to the top. I know that this is very trivial, but the customer is insisting that I fix it. I can privately send a link to the .fla source file to anyone who replies here.
View 8 RepliesI would like to simply scroll through a flash movieclip using my mouse wheel. Here is the work i've done thus far (http:url].....).Each image is a separate frame in a movie clip.I had this working in Flash AS2 but then all of a sudden the web-page started scrolling around as well when scrolling with the mouse wheel.I see there is a solution here: http:[url].....
View 1 RepliesI have developed a rolling credits style movieclip in Flash using Actionscript 2. Text is loaded from an XML file and parsed into a dynamic textfield. This text includes hyperlinks to webpages defined by a url node in the xml so Flash can add the appropriate a href to the dynamic text field and make the link clickable.
In my first attempts to do this the textfield stayed still and all the links worked fine both testing locally and when I run it in a browser on my website.Then I wanted to make things move ... which I achieved easily enough and tested locally (from within Flash Professional) and the links remained clickable, a browser window opened and the webpage i was expecting to see opened... great
However, when I export the swf, upload it and run it from my website suddenly the links are not working. So I tried to test the movie in a browser from Flash Pro - same problem, it must be something to do with Flash Player and the moving dynamic textfield.
a couple of observations - the cursor will change to a hand icon when over the links as you would expect, and if I right click on the link and click open in a new window the link works ok, just not when I left click. If I stop the scrolling then the links become clickable again, it is only when the textfield is moving... actually its not technically scrolling, im moving the whole textfield.
I have a MC on my stage and I am trying to get it using the following:
var r: MovieClip = getChildByName('MyMovie');
I get an error:1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.displayisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip.
I'm having trouble getting my scrollbar to work with dynamically loaded movies inside the movie the scrollbar is attached to.An example of my working scrollbar code with static data and my broken scrollbar with dynamic data can be found here: [URL]
I have a for loop that pulls data from my database, populates a topMovie(contentMain) with 20 subMovies inside it. My scrollbar is attached to topMovie. Once the data is loaded and the topMovie is populated, the scrollFace(not ScrollTrack) dissapears and the dynamic movie is not scrollable.As a test, I populated the topMovie with graphic boxes and no dynamic movies and it scrolls just fine.
Scrollbar code:
Code:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollHeight:Number = scrollTrack._height;
var contentHeight:Number = contentMain._height;
var scrollFaceHeight:Number = scrollFace._height;

I am trying to import a SWF file into a custom loader and then treat the loaded SWF file as a MovieClip object. The code for the functionality can be seen below.
public function loadMyMovie(movie:String)
{
var now:Date = new Date();
var rnd:String = "?randomize=" + now.time;
[Code].....
When I do this I get the following error.
"Implicit coercion of a value with static type flash.display:DisplayObject to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:MovieClip."
When page is loaded I can scroll it with mouse, But when I load first external movie clip the mouse scrolling function disappears. Is there anything I can do? I have search in flash mx 2004, and tryed to use // Mouse.onMouseWheel but nothing

View 5 RepliesI'm (still) building a hybrid CD-ROM flash presentation, which is working out nicely.
One of the reqs. is launching PDF files from the presentation. This works well on Windows, using a .bat script and should work fine on MAC using Applescript (haven't tried it yet, but have found some code). Only trouble is: how can I tell from within the Flash standalone projector which platform is being used so I can fire the appropriate script?
I get the error message. Doing like tuts said. package { import flash.events.*; // rememeber to import all flash libraries or the ERROR will come up with "TYPE" does not exist etc.

I am building little games never anything too big. I'm having fun. I'm getting the following error message 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
It's got to do with the varObject variable I pass into the hitTestObject (at the end of the code) a. I exported the moveclip for actionscript and gave it an instance name so what's the problem???

So for instance, I've got three .as files called 'Helicopter.as, Game.as, Blue.as'
and I also have a .fla file called Helicopter.fla (These files are all suppose to link together, to make the helicopter game) . In the Game.as file, I have the following;
[Code]....
Flash doesn't recognise the original Helicopter symbol (in the Helicopter.fla file, because I deleted it). But I want the system to detect the 'circle' drawn using API (In the Helicopter.as file). And I have no idea how to how to name the API drawn circle 'Helicopter', thus I'm getting an error. So how do I name the API circle to 'Helicopter', so the Game.as file recognises it.
Im confused, I passed a matrix datatype into the this.graphics.beginBitmapFill(); and i get Implicit coercion of a value of type. below is my code.

All i need to do is to invoke the soft keyboard from within my flash application. Is there anything I can do, without using a textfield or any such editable controls, which will pop up the keyboard.

View 0 RepliesThis is a repost, but I've still not figured out a solution. I have a Flash movie that appears on a webpage. The Flash contains scrolling content ( scrollpane, text field, whatever).
The containing webpage is tall, and therefore also has scrollbars. My Problem: When users try to use the MouseWheel to scroll through my Flash scrolling data, the browser page scrolls as well. It's very annoying.
I would like to be able to have the MouseWheel scroll my Flash scrolling content when it's over the flash, but scroll the webpage when it's not over the Flash.
Does anybody know a way to supress wheel-based browser page-scrolling while my mouse is over a Flash movie??? Is there a way to eat/stop propagation, whatever, of the wheel event in the brwoser, either from Flash or from Javascript?
I'm familiar with C/C++/Scheme/Java/OpenGL/TCP/IP.I need to learn how to build a tile based / platform flash engine.What tools should I be using? What books should I buy?I strongly prefer tools that let me do things programatically rather than through a graphical UI.

[Code]...
I have two type definitions (references of type Class) in ActionScript 3 and I need to figure out if one is a base type (class or interface) of the other.I had hoped something like the following would work, but alas it did not:
var isBaseClass:Boolean = MouseEvent is Event;
It is understandable why it doesn't, but it would still be nice. I can't use describeType either, since for objects of type Class it doesn't actually return the correct inheritance chain but rather just return the types Class and Object, which doesn't help at all. I can use getQualifiedSuperClassName in a loop until either there are no more super classes or there is a match, but it's less than ideal and doesn't work for type checking against interfaces.
does anyone know how/where to download actionscript 3 flash platform full documentation in packed HTML files. What I want is to have a local copy of the following doc: [URL] We are currently using a local copy of FLASH4 actionscript docs, which is quite out-of-date.
