Im trying to make a game where you are given the choice of 10 object, you choose 2 and they combine in the middle. Is there some actionscript i can use to make this without having to make a complex layout of frames for each button press?
An example is the Splice game at [URL]
there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
View 7 RepliesI have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
In CS5, I want to create a series of buttons that when clicked will linked to other frames in the same timeline. So one button will link to frame 5, one will link to frame 10, one will link to 15, etc. All the buttons will appear across the top of the stage on a layer, and I want them to appear on all of the frames so the user can click back-and-forth to the different frames/screens.
1. Is the best way to do this to just add the buttons to frame 1 and add a keyframe to the last frame in the timeline, frame 15, so they are copied to all the frames in between?
I am trying to understand how MVC works and have been able to build components using it. However, my understanding ends when I'm trying to combine these components into larger components. So for example I build a streetRacer class and it is composed of all the usual car parts and more. Inside my streetRacer class (which is considered the client in all of this, correct?) it would have parts like engine, tires, spoiler, etc. Now suppose the engine is created using MVC as are the tires and depending on the RPMs of the engine, that will change the speed at which the tires rotate. (I'm no mechanic and obviously this is highly simplified but I think it serves the example). Having said all that, how would the engine Model drive the tires to update it's view and model? Through the controller? And where would the relationship be set up? in the client?
View 0 RepliesI have a situation where I want to load portfolio of items into flash from xml. I have three categories for the portfolio and plan to create an xml file for each. I'd like to set it up so that when the user first arrives at the portfolio all of the work is displayed (and then they can narrow down the list by selecting a category).What's the best way to load all of the work in the 3 xml files? Can they be combined into one large xml object? Is it better to read through one xml file and then load the next and read through that followed by the last one?

View 3 RepliesI have finally figured out how to get both parts of my code to work. Now they don't seem to want to work together. I have a timer, so after 3 minutes of inactivity the movie will move back to frame 1. I also have a scroller that will scroll either up or down depending on the location of the mouse.
The way I have the code now allows the timer to work but the scroller just scrolls in a loop disregarding the mouse location. I'm thinking the problem is that both codes need to be properly combined so as not to conflict with each other. Can anyone lend a hand on this? I'm so close to getting this done and don't know what to do.

I'm making a simple drag-and-drop style dress up game, and I want to know if it's possible to combine multiple movie clips on different layers so that they can be gragged as a single object in the game, but retain their seperate layers. For example, if I make a hat and I want the front part of the hat to be on a layer above the doll base's head, and the back of the hat to be on a layer behind it, but the hat has to move as a whole when dragged.
View 2 Repliesbasically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.

View 1 RepliesI have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I have 260 images that I need to place on different frame. Instead of dragging them one by one the image on the stage, is there a way to drop all of them in one shot but each images is on a different frame?
View 3 RepliesI'm still learning flash and actionscript 3 and i am having trouble with variable and object names. I need to be able to combine variable names together (in the same way as php can combine by doing var1.var2).
My swf contains 4 loaders (image1_loader, image2_loader etc..) which are a child of (image1_content, image2_content etc.....)
I then have 4 buttons which load an image into the loader and while doing so they define the currently active loader.
Finally i have 4 control buttons - scale up/down and rotate clockwise/anticlockwise which should only control the currently active loader (as set by the buttons above)[code]...

rotateAroundCenter((activeLoader+'_content'), 10, ptR);

View 3 RepliesI have an input text field that the user types their name in. When they click the 'enter' button, the name is then illustrated in a dynamic text field. I then want to trigger an event that could either;
1. revel a new button which will lead to the next frame.
or
2. When the user clicks the enter button and the name is revelaed, after a few seconds the next frame comes up.
I am sending a query string post to saleforce to generate a new lead. It works great when it is used locally. However, from the web server it fails.

I strolled across something neat on a radio website [URL] and I really like how they do the flash on the top left. Below is the link to the actual SWF for bigger so that you can see what the SWF looks like. on the link above, you can move your mouse over the squares and it pops up a little window. You can even click on that. Here is the link to the SWF. [URL]

i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?

I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code:
BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){

I'm using CS4, and I'm attempting to align animations in flash. To make it easy, lets say I have two animations which start in a standing position, facing east. One of these animations (in a movie clip) is on fame 2 and the other is frame 11. The only way I can find to do it - without flicking between frame 2 and 11 constantly - is onion skin. The problem is that when i turn it on, it shows every frame - I can change the start to frame two, but the end will not go back past whichever frame I have selected - 11 in this case, and so it it too messy by far to see what I'm doing. Is there a way to allow me to see only frame 2 in that ghost style, while I edit frame 11? Even if its not onion skin, it doesn't matter.
Second to this - I cannot seem to work out how to edit multiple frames. By that, I mean that frame 11 through to 19 need to be aligned by the same amount, and yet even when I select all those frames, only one is affected.
I'm trying to make a button in each frame which directs to different URL in each frame, and buttons which navigate between the frames right.url... Here I uploaded the *.fla file (Couldnt attach to kirupa, cause of the very small size limit)Throws 1009 error for me. How can I make my idea happen?
View 1 RepliesI'm new to Flash and just started working on an animated short. In one of the sequences, I realized too late that an object was too far left in the frame and needed to be moved back. Is there a way to do that in all of the keyframes at once rather than doing it one at a time? The thing that needs to be moved is a .png file, not a symbol.
View 1 RepliesI must be missing something, but how on earth do I make it sothat I can set TextFormats for the whole movie and not just theframe the actionscript is on.My movie is basically a video with cuepoints that triggerdifferent keyframes that display text appropriate to what theperson featured in the video is talking about. In other words it'slike a powerpoint presentation that's run by an FLV file. Almostall of the blocks of text I'll be displaying are bulleted lists andsince, for some odd reason, bulleted lists aren't available usingthe standard Flash GUI text formating tools I need to apply themvia ActionScript. All the ActionScript is in its own keyframe atthe beginning of the movie timeline. I've setup my text formatingcode like this:
var bulletlist:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
bulletlist.bullet = true;
bulletlist_field.setTextFormat(bulletlist);
While I have successfully applied this to a box of text onthe first frame of the movie, I haven't be able to apply it to texton any other keyframe. So from what I can tell, I have to referencethe above TextFormat actionscript for every frame I need to use iton, and since I can't have duplicate TextFormat values, that meansI'd have to create a new instance with a new name for each frame.This seems rather inefficient and frankly ridiculous consider thatthe other ActionScript that I wrote seems to apply to the wholemovie. And what's the point of using ActionScript to format text ifyou have to redo it for every *******' keyframe? Is there somefunction that I'm missing somewhere to allow me to use one set ofTextFormat code on multiple frames or is this simply a dysfunctionof Flash and/or ActionScript 3.
Can you make flash check for multiple frames loaded?Something like
ifFrameLoaded ("intro") ("home") {
gotoAndPlay ("intro")
}

I found this sentence while googling out for Flash help: "Add 3 frames to your timeline. Drop a TextField on your Stage & make sure it extends over all the 3 frames." I was not able to accompolish the second task of this. I added the frames, dropped a TextField on the first frame, but could not find a way to extend it over all the 3 frames.
