I'm working on a small piece that involves a movieclip that scrolls slowly from the beginning on enterframe, but when a button is clicked it goes directly to a certain point on the x axis.
The first piece of it is here:[URL]..You'll see it's kind of wack right now, bc I can't figure this one issue out...

I'm trying to make an animation possible to play in two different ways. The first one is to play animation from beginning to end without stopping The second one is an interactive way - something like slideshow made in powerpoint. My idea was to use gotoAndPlay() function with stop() function. It doesn't work the way as I expect. For instance - I've one animation made of 500 frames. It makes up some 10 slides. If I put after every 50 frames stop() function then it's impossible to play this animation from beginning to end without stopping because of stop(). How to handle this? It would be nice if there was a function to indicate to play between some frames. For example, start playing from 1 until 50, then stop. Then start playing from 52 until 100 and stop .... then from 450 to 500. Besides that from 1 to 500.

This should be very simple: I want to fade-in a Movieclip (called MC1) using Actionscript.I normally use this (and it works just fine):
[AS]
this.MC1._alpha = 0;
this.MC1.onEnterFrame = function()
{
[code]....
Well, even though I can see the alpha values decreasing step by step (throughout the "trace" instruction), the fact is that the MC does not fade-in at all, it's just starts at a 100% alpha value.How comes this illogical behaviour? The instruction "trace" shows what it should do, but Flash does not fade it in.
I work for the NPS, and they have an outdated CMS. I have no rights to upload an .html file, or edit one that the CMS makes. SO, I am forced to use their little deal to display my .swf files. url...I made an eHike in as3 Flash CS4. It has two scenes, the first scene is the preload, second is splash content and ehike content. The problem is I cant get the preloader to display in IE. I have all actionscript content exported to the second frame, as talked about here:[code]I have tried many different ways to load the preloader.there is a simple text field for the percentage, and a simple 100 frame animation. preloader_mc.[code]The CMS lets you decide in the popup window if it is resizeable or not. This works in IE (stopping people from resizing), but not in firefox, people can resize it. Is there any way to disable the resize in AS3? Again, I understand that your supposed to export the .html file with these settings, but I have no permissions to upload or create new .html files.
View 1 RepliesI have a 30 second long animation (18fps). Movie symbol 135 frames long which loop 4 times using countTextField/if/else etc. and then gotoAndStop on a static frame. According to the company that are posting it on their site, the animation doesn't stop.
Are there any other ways of completely stopping an animation?
I'm working on a big app. I need to enable back native keyboard shortcuts(e.g. CTRL+T opens new tab). e.isDefaultPrevented() called in handler returns false, but still when I press CRTL+T new tab is not opened. Is there some other way to disable keyboard shortcuts except e.preventDefault()?

Only, I'm rather frustrated with trying to convert my AS1 coded template into the AS3 for the day. So I'm guessing I can't use the UiLoader like in the video unless i'm missing some checkbox somewhere.
Any one now how to do the similar thing only using AS1 and in "for dummies" language please?
So far this community rocks with the feedback and help. I'm sure some genious knows.
I'm building a historical timeline app in Flash. The main feature will be an MC containing links to specific event in the history of an organization. The MC will scroll, and there will be a couple ways to scroll it. One type of navigation will be fwd/backward buttons, and I want them to work such that if the button is pressed and held, an MC containing links will scroll w/increasing speed (up to a limit), but if the button is clicked, it will just move the MC a specified amt.
An example of what I want to accomplish can be seen it this HP timeline: [URL]
I think I could do this w/a MOUSE_UP eventListener

I've been playing around with some simple test animations using Arrays in various ways. One of them consists of 15 squares and I want them to grow and shrink as I mouse over them. I've gotten it to work with both Tween and onEnterFrame, but for some reason it will not work with setInterval. It's something to do with clearInterval. When I pass the i value to a new square the previous one stops where it is instead of continuing to grow and shrink. Tween and onEnterFrame don't have that problem at all. I've attached two fla files. The one using onEnterFrame works just fine. The setInterval one really doesn't work at all.

arrayTestOverInt.fla
Just a curious question. Apart from Graph API, is there any other way of delivering data to facebook from flash(as3).
View 3 RepliesActionScript allows you to mark a variable as [Bindable], causing any changes to that variable to have immediate effect all over your application.How would you implement this feature in your favourite programming language?
View 1 RepliesI usually created a movieclip in flash and assign it to actionscript class(using export for actionscript method in its property panel) that exteds movieclip.but sometimes movieclip is just too heavy for that,is there any possible way to draw a sprite directly in flash(not by code),and control it in actionscript-3
View 4 RepliesIve got some high level questions about vector graphics. From what I understand, when you draw stuff in the Flash IDE, you are creating vector graphics. Is there any way to view the actual XML (or whatever code) that is generated 'under the hood' ? Is there any way to save the drawing as a .SVG file or something? Ive looked at a few free SVG drawing tools, but I'm wondering why not just use Flash directly, instead of creating my vector drawing in a separate program, and then trying to import it ?
Im thinking of different ways to build maps/levels for my flash game, and right now I'm thinking that building the levels out of vector shapes seems to offer the best features in terms of fast/easy collision detection, fast map creation, small level size, etc.The problem is, once I draw a level in Flash, how do I break the individual shapes apart (rectangles, lines, circles, whatever), into useable pieces I can use in the code? For example suppose I simply draw a big rectangle for a super-simple level. How do I grab the coordinates of the corners for use in my actionscript code? And how do I determine that the shape is a rectangle, and not a general polygon or just an unclosed set of lines?
For example I imagine the SVG code for a rectangle looks something like this:RECT 120, 60, 400, 500
But where can I grab that text from using actionscript, If I drew that rectangle in the flash authoring tool?
i'd like to create a single movieclip that responds to the same input (mouse click) in two different ways: if playhead is on frame labeled "one" go to frame labeled "two", otherwise if playhead is on frame labeled "two" go to frame labeled "one". i've tried if/else and switch statements with no success - what's a good approach to doing this?

View 3 RepliesI have some simple script that has 2 "movie clips". What I want to do is to start moving the second movie clip at the same time when the 1st starts moving. (both start moving at the same time) I tried the following script but it never works:

I have a main MovieClip in which I have several frame labels, each will eventually have different MovieClips associated with them. First time through I want to play an "intro" MovieClip, which I have placed on the stage at the begining of the main timeline, then at the end of the "intro" Clip, go to the first frame label and play that MovieClip.
The way I was going about it was placing this code in the last frame of the "intro" MovieClip:
Code:
MovieClip(parent).screen_mc.gotoAndPlay("home");
'screen_mc' is the instance name of the Main MovieClip.

I'm stuck on the code for the following situation:A mc is costumed as the mouse cursor, 1. when we move the "cursor" near a character (mc), this character will gotoAndPlay frame2.2. If the "cursor" touches the character, this character will gotoAndPlay frame3.I've got the code working for #2, but not #1.

Assume the main time line is A. On A I've got movie clip Z also On A I've got movie clip B and inside B I've got a movie clip C (I need it to be this way because it soft of a TAB meanu). My problem is the actionscript written in C makes few objects called planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 on A function well. But when I move planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 to a movie clip (planets_mc) it wont function! How can I put planet 1,2 and 3 in to one mc and still make the actionscript in C work? I've used the _root. command in the script C.
