ActionScript 2.0 :: Implement Variables To Check State Of MovieClip
Aug 12, 2003
Any best way to script several MCs (acting as buttons) so that on release(), the alphas on the others tween to 20. When you go to click one of the dimmed button, its alpha should tween back to 100 and the previous one that had the full alpha should now fade to 20. Logically, I know I need to somehow implement a variable to check the state of the MC and an if statement to script the actual alpha tweens but I'm confused as how to actually implement it. Where to put it etc.

I have been at this for 5 hours and I'm about to pull all my hair out.I have a seemingly very simple problem that I can NOT find any reason for why it's happening.I built a simple flash doc that has three distinct pieces in it (2 frames):
1) A FLVplayback component on frame 1 - (working)
2) An AS listener that checks for end of Video and progresses to 2nd frame - (working)
3) a cookie script that checks to see if the video has been played and if it has skips frame 1 and goes to frame 2 (also working)
The video successfully plays the first time and moves to the 2nd frame. But, when the document is reloaded it checks the cookie (finds it) skips the 1st frame, moves to the 2nd BUT it does NOT display ANY of the elements in the 2nd frame. NOTHING!! There is a simple graphic and button that allows the users to replay the video (by simply clearing the cookie and going back to Frame 1) but they do not show up. (However, they DO show up if the video plays first and moves to frame 2 via the listener, just not via the cookie).I have placed traces in each frame to show if it is indeed arriving on frame 2. It is, but NOTHING shows.I have rebuilt the FLA step by step testing each time and have found that it works perfectly, right up until the FLV Component is dropped in. Then it moves to the 2nd frame and shows NONE of the 2nd frame elements. URl...

Is it possible to check for pressed keys without using the KeyboardEvent?
I have an ENTER_FRAME event setup called enterFrameHandler and I want to check within the function enterFrameHandler if any keys are pressed.
normally when using a KeyboardEvent I could check for keys easily using a switch that checks the KeyCode of the event, but in an ENTER_FRAME event this isn't possible for me.
Is there any other way of checking the keyboard's state within the ENTER_FRAME event?
UPDATE:
I found this AS2 script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= power;
[Code]....
This seems to be doing what I want, but it's in AS2, does anyone know how to 'translate' this into AS3?

pictures2.php is working cos I just check so by rite the variables loaded should change.. but somehow each time I check those variables in myPictures.onLoad, the variables are always the same.

I have some drag and drop MCs. The variable ranNumDrag1 return a, b or c. The input variable that I need should be mainDropa, mainDropb or mainDropc. When I trace the newDrop, it prints correct for exemple mainDropa but inside the if-state it does not working. I have tried writing _root.newDrop and _parent.newDrop with no result. If I hard code the if-state with for example mainDropa then it is working? How can I catch the trace result as variable? My script is:

Is there any way of extending a class which is extending the movieClip class? Or generally a way to add extra methods to an allready existing class without having to add them in the actual class declaration. I was thinking of using Interfaces but how can I implement an Interface to a class which is extending a movieclip?
Code:
import interfaceName
class className implements interfaceName{
//stuff
}
But where do I put the code which extends the MovieClip?
Code:
class className extends MovieClip{
//
}

I wanted to check the value of 5 different variables at the same time.
Based on the value each of variable I wanted to make 5 corresponding movie clips do something.
There has gotta be a better way to do this rather than me using a bunch of if else statements.

I have a form that uses PHP to check to see if all variables are filled in. I have a button with
on (release) {
formcheck();
}
that checks the formcheck function and then sends the form or gives a popup that tells what part of the form needs to be filled in.
My problem is that I have a movie that I'd loike to act as a button. I've done this before with any other command (gotoAndPlay, getURL, etc), but the
on (release) {
formcheck();
}
does not work with a mc button, only with a regular button. Does anyone know a way around this, or why it does not work?

I have a series of movieclips placed on the stage, that I have all given the same base class. When a movieclip is clicked, they scale up to 100%, and when clicked again, they scale back to their initial scale.What I would like, is to make it so that if another movieclip has already been scaled up previously, that movieclip will scale back down to it's original size, before the other movieclip that has just been clicked on, scales up. This is the basic code I currently have for all my movieclips:
Code:
private function fullImage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
parentX = MovieClip(parent).x;[code].............

I have 8 movieclip on stage, 4 of them being the contents, and the other 4 being the target. I have to drag all of the 4 contents, into the target. apparently, i am able to do that, but the problem i'm facing right now, is the button that is on stage, is suppose to check if the movieclip are in the right place, which i set them.
Here are the codes:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var startX:Number;

I have a button (movieclip button) that expands and displays extra things like a box next to it with pictures in. I have roll on and roll off code for the button so it glows and then returns to normal.
intelbtn.onRollOver = function(){
intelbtn.gotoAndPlay('over');}
This is the code for the roll on state.^
When I click it goes to and plays 'click' which is an animation that expands and such. If I take my mouse off the area which expands out of the button or the button it removes the information and plays the roll off state, if I put it back in the area it plays the roll on state and flickers alot. How do I stop this (with out disabling the mouse completely because I have a close button which I want to click to close and return to original button state)

I have MovieClips on my Flash Stage that when clicked on--they toggle ON/OFF. My goal is that when a user clicks either ON/OFF--then leaves the flash website--another user can visit the site--and see that state of that MovieClip was either left ON/OFF.
I would need a way that when a user toggles ON/OFF--that state is saved in a variable--passed onto PHP--saved in an XML file--and then when that is done--Flash calls a function to update--to read the XML file--see if it needs to update the ON/OFF state of the MovieClip toggle button.
Multiple people would be able to go to this flash site--and toggle (ON/OFF) the objects on the stage. When more than one person is toggling--those people should instantly see objects being toggled (ON/OFF).

anyone who takes the time to read and answer this post. I'm having an issue on a file that I'm working on at work. The basis of the project is that its an image of a map, with windmills on certain cities. When you rollover the windmill various things happen. The turbine starts to spin, information about the project in that city shows up in dynamic text boxes, etc.
Anyway, I have one movie clip for the windmill with actionscript (that makes the things mentioned above happen) on the actual symbol, so I do not have to create different movieclips for each city. However, due the way this works, when your mouse touches one of the blades of the windmill turbines, the turbine spinning animation stutters. This happens because when the turbine moves it causes your mouse to rollOut of and rollOn to the windmill rapidly.
It seems that I need to create a hit state for the windmill that is smaller than the bounding box for the entire movieclip. I'm unsure how to do this since the on(rollOver) and on(rollOut) states of the movieclip prevent me from being able to place that type of actionscript on the actual hit state (which would be inside of the movieclip). I could easily just take the actionscript on the main movieclip symbol and put it on JUST the hit state inside, however, I would need 60 different movieclips of the windmill for each city if I did it this way.
Is there any way that I can define a hit state that is smaller than the bounding box of my movieclip button, so that I do not have to create 60 different movieclips? I forgot to mention: Unfortunately since I'm doing this for a client at work, I can not post my file up anywhere to show. So if you need any more information or I was not specific enough please let me know. Also, I can post my code if need be.

I am developing iOS app in Adobe AIR and Adobe Flash CS5.5... It's basically a huge timeline of movie clips with entrance screen. What I want to do is somehow create an external AS or TXT file, in which I got few movie clips defined as visible/hidden. I want the movie itself to change those states of the movie clips in the external file when it reaches certain frames in the main timeline, so that the next time you open the app and its entrance screen, there are buttons (movie clips) made visible there which can link/bring you to the previously reached frame.

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)

It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.
