ActionScript 2.0 :: Kirupa SWF Transition - Add MC Names After The _root?
Dec 10, 2007
i can not get it to work. I have this code embedded in a MC (2 Lvls) and i tried to add MC names after the _root to hope to make it work, but to no result. The rest of the kirupa transition is on the root timeline
MAIN TIMELINE:
_root.currMovie = "Template_Intr_1";
container.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");
The code below is what i placed in the MC, i think it is a matter of levels, but i am missing something...
EMBEDDED INSIDE MC's
on (release) {
if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {[code]....

Im using a for in loop to grab the names of my mc on the _root timeline and push() them into an array named bricks. i then use a prototype function fade them in one at a time. The problem is that it only works to a piont and then stops.
I thought posible causes could be the time it takes to build the array as i do have 713 mc on my timeline.
this is my code i tried attaching the fla but its to big
fadespeed = 9;
function init(){
brick = new Array();

I just recently began migrating from AS2 to AS3, and I have of course realized that I can no longer move the "_root" by changing the _x and _y positions of the _root (which no longer exists in AS3). How can I do this in AS3 (specifying _x, _y, _z possibly of the "_root")?

i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]

I have a presentation using the "presentation" template that comes with flash. I am trying to transition slides with the behavior slide transition options. but I've learned that it works find while going into a slide and doesn't go to the next slide when leaving.So basically I want it so that on right arrow first play out transition then go to next slide.

We've got an Illustrator file with something over 1,000 layers. We're trying to import this into Flash and keep the layer names intact, such that they become the names of the movie clips that are imported for each layer and can be used programmatically. (It is a diagram and arrows, boxes, etc all have callout names that will eventually allow them to link to a database.)As near as I can tell, the Import dialog will NOT pass this info across between the two parts of the dialog.

I started a thread about a reference to a symbol House, in the output window, which was: House_1. A lot of people said some useful things about that. All day I've been thinking about it, and I came to the conclusion that I don't understand things, at a very basic level.
Consider:I make a movieclip which I give the Symbol name Drawer. (I don't export it for AcitonScript.)On the stage I manually place two instances of this Symbol. The first one I give the Instance Name drawer (in the properties panel). The second one I leave nameless.Now if I trace the names of both these clips, by
trace(this.getChildAt(0).name);
trace(this.getChildAt(1).name);
the output window gives me
drawer
instance2
Now I know that the so-called "instance name" which I gave in the Properties Panel (drawer) is, in reality, a variable name which Flash gives my first instance behind the scenes. And instance2 is a name that Flash gives my second instance. What exactly the nature of that name is, I do not know.My point is: both names (drawer and instance2) are the .name property of these movieclips. Otherwise I could not have traced them through asking for the .name property, in the above. Yet only the first of these two can be manipulated:
drawer.x can be set;
instance2.x can (as we know) not be set.
But...why? What is the real difference between these two kinds of names? How can they both be the .name property of their underlying movieclip, yet be of such a different nature? What IS the nature of the instance2 name? If it's a String, how come the .name property of one movieclip can be a variable name, while the .name property of another (but identical) movieclip is a String?
I've searched every bit of web page on the net I could find. But it looks as if nobody addresses this issue. We all just work with it - but it makes no bloody sense. A name property = a name property, you'd think. Whether Flash set it or I set it should not make a difference. The x property of a clip, for example, does not change in nature according to who set it - me or Flash.So, again, just to emphasize the problem: how can a property (the name property) of a movieclip change in NATURE depending on who set it? After it's been set, shouldn't the name property of a clip be of exactly the same nature as the name property of another clip?

I am trying to create a page transition that will play a movieCLip transition into a page. and then it stops then when another button is pressed, it will play that transition out while loading the appropriate one. In the attached FLA, if you click on the red button first, the blue transition plays,
--red button code--
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
and then stops on the stage. When you click the green button second,
--green button code --
mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play("out");
_root.transitionClip2.play();
}
it works correctly/ Playing out of the blue Transition and into the Red transition. However if I click it again it does the opposite, and just keep alternating.
If I add the
_root.transitionClip2.play("out");
to the first button then, nothing works right. I will eventually have more buttons, and may need to use a variable to control which "out" transitions is played, but how do I get the buttons to do this?I just want it to exit the current movie clip and play the "in" section of the desired clip.

I am having problems formatting the XML Flash photo gallery. I can't seem to get the photos to center on the page. Some of my photos are vertical and others horizontal, and they are all pushed to the left. I don't want to make all the photos the same width. Is there any way to use css to style the xml? Or is there some other way to do it? Url...Also, if anyone notices any other problems with the gallery,please let me know. This is only the second thing I've done in Flash, and I may have made some mistakes when I changed things.

modify this tutorial ([URL]) so that it does this: one of the external swf's has a button in it that loads another external swf in a different area of the stage, so now there would be 2 external swf's displayed on stage. Then, when one of the main buttons is clicked, the exit animation of the 2nd swf is played, then the exit animation of the 1st swf is played, then the new external swf is loaded in the same spot that the 1st one was.

Alright, I've been tasked to build a menu system similar to the one on 2Advanced V5. I know, I know, don't mess with copying peoples' stuff, but my arm's being twisted to do so, by the management. I've started with Kirupa's XML menu, modified the XML to my liking, and have added some sliding code in there. I'm having a hard time with1. Getting the sliding code to interact with the submenus.2. I've got no idea how to adjust the submenus so they don't scroll too fast or too slow.EDIT: All I need is for each submenu to be scrollable, and not scroll too fast, based on how many buttons are in there. XML source can be set to the XML example in Kirupa's tutorials.The FLA is attached, and here's the Actionscript:
Code:
// generates a list of menu items (effectively one menu)
// given the inputted parameters. This makes the main menu

Using this preloader w/percentage from the kirupa tut.
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
[code]....
I'm having trouble calculating the getBytesTotal method to return less that the total. In other words, I'd like to start the movie before it has fully loaded. Lets say, 75% loaded then gotoAndPlay.

i have been able to customize this tutorial for my needs but i am still having one problem with the thumbnails. Unlike in the tutorial i have thumbnail that are two different sizes. most of them are 100 pixals wide but some are 75 and when they are different sizes like that it screws it up...they overlap or leave big gaps between thumbs.
below you can find the code i am using. the line of code that places the thumbs in there position is
target_mc._x = hit_left._x+(target_mc._width+5)*k;
i was able to stop the thumbs from over laping by replacing target_mc._width with 100 but that doesnt fix the big gaps between the images that are 75 wide.
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];

Trying to get my head around all of the variables, functions, etc. Anyway, I want to modify the Kirupa photo gallery AS <http:[url].... to have my movie go to another movie or scene after the images have been viewed one time instead of playing through the array over and over. Printing out the AS and going through my references I am getting an understanding of what things are doing.

I have incorporated the following XML guestbook on my site and it works like a charm since its inclusion on my site
[URL]
How to send a mail to me when anyone adds a message on the guestbook ?I guess it is possible as whenever one xml object is send to the php file for processing by sendAndLoad function , it can also send a mail via php .....the code that sends xml data to php in this actionscript is
Code:
myXML.sendAndLoad("processXML.php", receiverXML);
can some code be added in the processXML.php which also sends a mail vial "mail" function in php ?

This is one of my first posts, so be kind! I'm slowly getting back into Flash after a hiatus (I was pretty good with Flash 5), and I've been adapting Kirupa's XML-based menu tutorial to my company's needs. As users drill down to the 2nd and 3rd tier of menus, I need the script to load and display images (preferably with a preloader), the links of which would be provided in the accompanying XML document (I based our XML doc off of Kirupa's example as well).
// generates a list of menu items (effectively one menu)
// given the inputted parameters. This makes the main menu
// as well as any of the submenus
