I am making the following call...
Code:
on (release) {
_root.imopen = "girl1";
_root.girls.imopen.gotoAndPlay("in");
}
And it's not working, it should, of course, be calling
_root.girls.girl1.gotoAndPlay("in");
How to incorporate the variable "imopen" into the path.
A short description of my project:
1) Fetching data from mysql
2) Make x numbers of buttons using duplicateMovieClip. (depends on num_rows from db)
3) Set text in buttons from db with dynamic text.
I'm talking about the buttons on the left side here:[URL].. Here's the code-snippet i experience problems with.
[Code]...
If you look a the code above, button0 <- I want that to be something like: button[a].If I do a trace on trace("button"+a), it works perfectly.(returns button0, button1 ... etc)If I make it a variable, var tmp:String = "button"+a;, it will also give me the same result. But if I try to target a mc with path, example tmp.onRollOver = function(){, it will not work.
- button[a].onRollOver doesnt work.
- "button"+a.onRollOver doesn't work.
How can I integrate that a-variable into my path to the newly created mc's?
If I want to change a set of movieclips that all have the same name except they end in a different number i.e
movieclip1
movieclip2
movieclip3
whats the correct actionscript to refer to a movieclips path in terms of the name plus a numerical variable i.e
movieclip + var
so I can cycle through each one by altering the variable.
something like
var x = 1;
_root."movieclip" + x.othermovieclip.gotoAndPlay(1);
my attempts don't seem to have worked!
I have a quick question about using an XML file to contain the path to something I want to load in Flash. Right now, I have:
this.loadMovie("Images/1.jpg");
I'd like for the word "Images/" to be read from the XML file and I was wondering how I would go about loading the variable that contains "Images/" into the path line in Flash.
So I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;[code].....
is being returned once the onrelease event happens. the loadmovie works fine but I want to remove

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.
Here's what i'm trying to do: Hide a MC depending on the path variable as:
[Code]...
Well that doesn't work, for some reason, i can't use a string as a multiple level path..
I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

I was working on a simple game app using Xcode, but when I saw that image manipulation is much easier using the Flash SDK, I reprogrammed the game using Flash.

I'm trying to do a project using Lee's Math 2 tutorial. It's done in AS2, and I'm really trying to make it work in AS3. "vernbaby" kindly helped someone out in this post:URL...[code]But I can't seem to figure out how to incorporate sound, which is one of the features of Lee's tutorial (I think that the user that vernbaby helped out didn't need this information). I've got movie clips with sound attached (they're videos of people talking), and am unsure of what property, etc. I should be adding in to get the volume to increase with the proximity of the mouse to one of the movie clips.[code]
View 2 RepliesI did Lee's "Full Browser Flash" tutorial, and have got the full browser part to work, but now I need to add my actual site swf to this. In his tutorial, he simply uses a jpeg image, so I'm not necessarily sure how to load my actual site into the movie clip (cover).
View 3 Repliesi have a nice piece of code to set the fullscreen with dynamic text formatting (below)
what i am trying to do is add in a key event listener for the escape key, so that if the user hits esc instead of the button, it will also reset the button's 'normal view' settings
i have tried to do a test in a separate fla but even with just a trace on the function, when i hit esc all the swf does is stop (odd!)
Code:
//bu for fullscreen clicks
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fullOver);
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fullOut);

This is a head scratcher. Why would a root relative path cause a Security Sandbox error.. but an absolute path to the exact same path work fine..

We have used Enliven before to create interactive 3d apps for the web. Enliven uses the Viewpoint Media Player to work. We would like to be able to get the same results using Flash.
Is there a 3rd Party software out there that allows you to create interactive 3d objects and animations in Flash?
Here's a sample of something our company created using Enliven. HHI 3d Viewer
I would like to have a map of the 50 U.S. states. I would like to click on a state and have a small pop-up window that displays the temperature of the capital of that state. After 5 seconds the pop-up closes. Behind the scenes I would also like the clicks being tracked by a database. I am digging around weather.com trying to figure out linking RSS feeds to Flash and I am thinking MySql to count the clicks. Does anyone have any tips or a quicker, easier way to set this up?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to incorporate shadowbox into my flash. I'm very confused with the shadowbox flash instruction from their website, but this is what I have so far.I imported flash.net and created a button as follows

function mybtnClick(e:MouseEvent):void

how to incorporate a variable into a getURL like so -
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('I want to insert a variable HERE','','width=600,height=500,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No ,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No, fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0); return false;");
}
I want to be able to generate a new window that just loads into it an image that's in the sites directory. I know it can be done in javascript, cause this code works in a html page
<a href="" " onclick="window.open('#fullSiteTextImage#/#uploadTextImageDirectory#/large_#strTextImageImage#','', 'width=600,height=500,noscrollbars'); return false;>
The green bit is a CFM variable, which contains something like flash/flash_images/image.jpg
So how can I do this from flash? I KNOW it can be done. It must be possible, someone please help me. The thing that seems to stuff it up to me is the fact that I have to enclose the getURLs URL parameter in quotes, so flash doesnt evaluate the variable.
However, digging through the SWFAddress forums (as well as their brief documentation), I'm left with the idea that a site must have a very linear navigation in order to take advantage of SWFAddress's deep linking feature. Basically, the Nav must be timeline based, rather than AS based.The site I've designed uses a very common dynamically loaded swf architecture. Does this mean that any site using this architecture will not support deep linking at allSome background on what I'm trying to achieve: I'd like a unique URL that links directly into a section of the Flash site. The 'section' of the site is reached by simply having the right swfs loaded into their container clips.

View 3 RepliesI have been working creating a fla file that loads several swfs and random background images. However, I have a custom form that I want to implement and I am having a problem figuring out how to do so. I want to have it work like an inner popup where it blurs and unblurs the background image (like the schedule from hbo.com).
Here's my setup:FLA file contains-UILoader for swf sectionUILoader for random background image
Lets say I load a section called home.swf into the section loader. Within the home.swf I have a button for someone to call up the form.swf. Is it possible for the form to blur the random background image when loaded then unblur it when it's done? If so how would you recommend I go about programming it. **I also have no idea how to unload it.

View 3 Repliesis it possible to incorporate a checkbox system into a contents page, so that depending on whether or not the boxes are checked, movieclips will be shown?
usually it looks like this
contents page
section 1
section 2
section 3
section 4
with each section having a few mc's each the navigation works by just loading a new mc for each page.. eg: each time you press next it loads the next MC
however i want to add the checkbox to the contents so if section 3 is unticked, the mc's in it will cease to exist or be inaccessible or something, and will be skipped when navigating through the rest of the sections
I'm making my own dynamic 2D polygon pathfinder and have reached the point where i need to incorporate the actual pathfinding between the vertices. I figured Dijkstras algorithm would do the trick. If you know of better algorithms for mesh-pathfinding, please tell me. I know i could write it from scratch with reference to C, but I'm sure there are more efficient algorithms out there than the one I'd come up with.
