Basically what I am trying to do is show a medical cartoon, that at various times, the user can click on a button to say "I want to read more about this point later". This will allow them to continue watching the cartoon, and at the end be taken to an HTML page that shows them the list of points they selected for further research. It's like creating a shopping list for further reading.

I have attached a body mass calculator movie and I have been trying to edit this movie to meet my requirements, with not much success.
What i am trying to do:
I am trying to create medical dosage calculator. What this is - it will allow patients to enter their weight in stones - pounds and then depending on their weight it determines how much medication they need - for example 100mg. It is to help patients asertain if they are on the correct dosage and not over medicated - this calculator will allow them to be able to work out their dosage correctly. This is how i envisioned it working: Patients would be required first to enter their weight in stones and pounds which would automatically be converted into kg - the kg will then determine the dosage.
Therefore two input boxes would be required, one for stones one for pounds. If the pounds box is the only one filled in / for example the user only knows their weight in pounds the stones box can be left blank. They would then click a 'calculate' button and their dosage - for example - 100ml would appear. Depending on the weight converted from stones and pounds to kg is then used to calculate the dosage.
I have tried endlessly to edit the attached file without any success. I think this is just too complex for me. So i thought i'd see if anyone might be able to help! I don't think it is that far removed from this body mass calculator i have attached, but i it just screws up when i try editing this to fit my requirements. If anyone have made something like this before
I'm doing some cartoons for random clients, and they're going to need to look slick on HD televisions (1080). Is there a specific size I should design the flash movie at before hand? Right now I'm designing them at 1280 x 720, but when I burn the movie to a DVD and watch it, there is just a little but of pixel distortion during some of the movement (ex. you can notice some of the outlines looking odd as they move pixel from pixel). I'm wondering if this has to do with the size I set the stage at in Flash, or if it shouldn't even matter since it's mostly all vector art.
View 1 RepliesSome lovely code I picked up to create cartoons. My character is sunny. We create multiple empty mcs as holders for a) Sounds and b) Attached or loaded mcs.BUT the damn sound object doesn't work. sound_1.start(); diesn't work - however it works it I move it right up under the attachsound code.Then the next sound_2.start definately work. I DID get to work in other code I had even though it was even inside a function. I will paste it under this code.
numOfSounds = 5;numOfObjects = 5;objectPath = "images";
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("soundLib", 1);for (var i:Number = 1; i<=numOfSounds; i++) {soundLib.createEmptyMovieClip("holder_"+i, i);_root["sound_"+i] = new Sound(soundLib["holder_"+i]);}[code]....
I am trying to create my first cartoon animation. What I have so far is four swf's, each containing a short animation. What I want to be able to do is load in a swf file into a fla, then after a certain time peroid, remove that swf and load in a new swf.

1. I am trying understand what horizontal skew does. Does skew means the object is @ a angle to horizonal plane. When i set to 120 ' as horizontal skew it turns upside down. Is there any good web links to understand how horizontal skew works in flash?I checked in some weblinks but it was not useful

View 3 RepliesI'm new to AS 3.0 and CS4 and I've been getting up to speedon all of it. I've used the List component before with my owCellRenderer. I now need to create a list with different rowheights. The List component is great and does everything that Iwant but it requires all rows to be the same height.I'm unsure of where to go. Creating my own class seems like alot of work. The TileList and Grid components don't allow differentsized (and dynamically changing) row heights either. Is there somebase class (SelectableList? BaseScrollPane?) that I should extendor do I need to just bite the bullet and write it all from scratch?
I need each row to have it's own height and interaction witha row could change the height of the row. The main use is a list ofdata. If the user clicks in an item, it turns the display intosomething they can edit (which will need more height)I really like that AS 3.0 is much more consistent of aprogramming language than previous MX versions that I've used.We're doing a lot of AS/Flash/AIR work with it and it's turninginto a wonderful environment...
I have to make a list every document linked in a multiple .fla files. I can pull them up doing a find for .pdf but I can't figure out how to copy the links from the results field. Each file links to 1000+ pdfs, so i'd like to avoid doing this one at a time. Is there a way to export the results of the find function to a .xml or .txt file?
View 1 RepliesMy project is a page flipping magazine. On each page are several products. When you click on a specific product, a popup window comes up and shows all of the product details. The popup window also includes two buttons - Add to Cart & Add to Shopping List. This is where I am having trouble. When the user clicks on the 'Add to Shopping List' button I would like the product details (i.e picture of item, item description, price, select quantity, delete product option) to "load" into a shopping list (which would be on a different frame further down the timeline and look like a whole new page to the user). I don't want to redirect them to the shopping list at this time, I just want the information to "load" into the shopping list. Later, when they are done adding all their items into the shopping list, they can click on the shopping list tab at the top of the page and it will direct them to the correct frame in the timeline and show all of the products they added.

I have been working on making a menu for list items. The file below has an animated menu.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to extend the mx:Box container so that two buttons sit on the outside of the container to cycle through it's contents (similar to a scrollbar).
I've made a custom component that looks basically
like "mx:HBox->mx:Button mx:Box mx:Button" where the buttons and box are children of the hbox.
How do I offer the user access to the box (say its dataProvider and itemRenderer) through my custom component?
So they just need to write 'local:MyCustomComponent dataProvider="rar" itemRenderer="rar"/>' and my box inside that component can use it?
I'm creating a list of images dynamically that I want to mask.
This is the script I'm using:
for (i=0; i<10, i++) {
img_MC = createEmptyMovieClip("image" + i, 3*1);
img_MC.loadMovie("image" + i + ".jpg);
}
The images are loading fine but I can't get it to mask
how can I a mask Dynamically every image on the list?
When I play a video in Flash, fist, it starts buffering and then, when the buffer is full, it plays. While the buffer is filling, the associated Video object automatically displays the fist video frame.Is there a way to receive a notification when this frame is available ? Because I want to hide the video component until there is an image to be displayed.Currently I handle the buffer full NetStreamEvent, so it displays when it starts playing. But now I need a larger buffer (10s), so waiting 10s to display something to the user is not good.

I'm trying to develop a card game with Flex, and I was wondering if there's a way to create an horizontal list (the cards that I have in my hand) having the elements overlapped, like you can see in this example made with openflux: [URL]. The thing that's missing here is the possibility to swap the cards with drag and drop. What I could do to get a similar effect with an horizontal list based component?
View 2 RepliesI need a List that resizes to exactly fit its content, unless that height exceeds its (dynamically sized) parent container. My requirements are as follows:
The component extends List, or at least acts similarly. variableRowHeight and wordWrap both equal to true. The height of the list cannot be less than minHeight (roughly 32px for scrollbar arrows). The height of the list cannot be greater than the height of the parent container .
Note that the parent container can be resized dynamically.
The height of the list should be updated as the size of both the contents and parent container changes.
Live updating would be preferable but not necessary.
There should be no scrollbars if the content height is less than the parent container height (sounds obvious, but I've had trouble with this too).
The trouble is that with variableRowHeight and wordWrap, it's very hard to know the size of the content at any given time. If the parent container's width is reduced, a line wrap may occur in the list which will change the height of the content. I know I can measure the height of the list content using measureHeightOfItems() + viewMetrics.top + viewMetrics.bottom, but when should I calculate that? What events should I listen for? And the thing I've had the most trouble with - when should I calculate it to set the size initially (i.e. just as the content has finished populating)?

View 1 RepliesPURE MVC - In my application there are multiple screens which are minimized like in windows desktop. Now each has different instances of mediator which have same notification. So if I do changes in one screen say press some button >> which sends some command >> to proxy >>then proxy sends notifications to mediator. But as multiple screens are active there it is showing changes in all screens as they are notified too by proxies. How to make sure that proxy calls to particular view component (mediator) and not for all live instances of mediators ?

View 1 RepliesHow to construct the following in Flash 8 as 2. I have several items that need to be shown in a text field list, the list needs to update as a new item is to be displayed also the new item has to move up or down depending on how many items are on the list. For example the list has 6 items available,the fist three are a higher priority than the last three.
oranges
apples
mangoes
trucks
cars
boats
When items are called for example oranges we will have oranges in the text field
If the second item is called say trucks this will go below oranges,
If no oranges are called this will go in the top text field.
if we remove an item the remaining field will move up so there are no gaps in the text field.
For example start out with oranges only
oranges (top of list)
Next case add trucks
Oranges(top of list)
trucks
Next trucks only (remove oranges)
trucks( at top of list)
Next add and apples and oranges
Oranges ( top of List)
apples
trucks
Next add boats
Oranges ( top of List)
apples
trucks
boats
Next remove trucks
[Oranges ( top of List)
apples
boats
The actual movie clip is an aircraft caution and warning display that updates when faults occur. I know I can use an array to to populate the text field but I am not sure what to use to create the correct animation effect.
I am trying to create a buttons menu with Array, and for some reason it only show the lastone on the list.
Here is my code (AS3):
var nav1Items:Array = new Array("about", "work", "contact");
//Create text field
var myFont:Font = new Calibri();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var label_txt:TextField = new TextField();
//Set text style

I am trying to create a list of names which is generated by a swf file that contains buttons representing letters of the alphabet. The user generates a name by clicking on the letter buttons until the letters of the name have been spelled out and then clicking on abutton to add each name to the list. The names are generated inside the swf file but I want the list of names to be deposited in a file within a folder of the computer and remain there as a permanent record after the swf file has been closed. I can do the Actionscript 3 programming associated with the letter buttons but I would like to know how to send the names to the computer file.
