ActionScript 2.0 :: Old Scratchy Movie - Create MovieClip Lines And Actions
Mar 4, 2005
I found this flash tutorial about old scratchy movie: [URL]. Tells me to create a movie clip "line" and "actions" and create a line as big as the movie: 400. Then tells me to put this on the action panel of "actions".
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.line._x=random(400);
}
I did that and it tells me to test the movie so I did but I get this error:
Code:
**Error** Symbol=actions, layer=Layer 1, frame=1: Line 1:
Clip events are permitted only for movie clip instances
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

Lets say I have 5 instances of a movie named BB1,BB2, BB3, BB4 and BB5 and I want to say move them 5 pixels to the right. Is there a way to do this in one statement and not have to post it 5 times? asically how can I shorten this to one instance to affect all of them?
on (release) {
_root.BB1._x += 5;
_root.BB2._x += 5;
_root.BB3._x += 5;
_root.BB4._x += 5;
_root.BB5._x += 5;
}
Second question is, let say I want to create a Movie with different actions in each frame. then I want to continually call that one frame action from a button release. How would I go about this?Action on frame is: _root.MM._x += 5;
Button on stage to trigger this action over and over would be?. I've tried gotoandPlay but it only works once on (release) {

I use CS4 Flash 10.0.2 and after publishing a website (tried few templates), it comes out with bothering scratching/metallic sound. Basically all sounds, effects are distorted with a metallic sounds. If I do it few times, or shut down Flash and start it again and then publish it, the sound it is OK. What am I doing wrong or is it a setting that I should do to avoid this nuisance? It does not matter if I publish it with Flash v6 or v8 and moreover, it happens to different flash websites while using Flash CS4 for Windows and also for MAC. It must be something that I have to set but have no idea.

Is it possible to create 2-3 drawn lines in actionscript?Wanted to make a dynamic chart, but so far when I add coding for the second line, the first no longer works.
Trying to nest the lines in movie clips didn't work.Is this a restriction of the createEmptyMovieClip?I'm using....
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lineFirst",0);
lineFirst.lineStyle(12,0x000000,100);
lineFirst.moveTo(0,0);

I have a menu bar that has 2 Drop down menus. Each drop down is a separate movie clip, with 3 buttons inside that are separate movie clips. I have a class set to the buttons that are movie clips for a roll over effect. But when I mouse over it does not work. Also on the main time line I tried to add a like to a web page but it did not work. But I only have this problem with the movie clips that are inside the drop down movie clips.
Why is this? How do I add roll over actions and external links to movie clips that are inside of another movie clip? I really need some help this is a problem I have been having for about a month or more. I am still a AS3 newb and this is my first time using classes. The other classes I have work with everything else, Im just having trouble with the movie clips that are inside movie clips.

I am creating an animated menu for my personal website. All I need is a MouseOver and a MouseUp event on the same object. Because of the scrolling nature of the menu, I need to have MouseOver events on each menutab. Each menu item is hidden until a MouseOver event, then it scrolls out to reveal its title. If the user clicks on the now-revealed tab, it should become the current page. If the user does NOT click the now-revealed tab, it reverts to displaying the current page's tab instead.
This means that I need to have a MouseOver and a MouseUp (or Release) tag on my items. Since I probably confused you all as much as I just confused myself, here is the example. [URL]. The "Family" section should be displayed. As you can see, when the user runs the mouse over other tabs, they are revealed. When the mouse goes away, it reverts to the Family section because nothing else was selected. The menu operates on frame 2 - frame 1 sets the initial variables as shown.
Code:
var sel = "family";
var games = "0";
var movies = "0";
var artwork = "0";
var yugi = "0";
var about = "0";
var links = "0";
Frame 2 operates my rollovers in a frame action as shown.
[Code] ......
I've finally got the animation and MouseOver events done - all I need is a MouseUp event! Why it doesn't accept MouseUp or OnRelease events? This is, of course, a work in progress. A few artifacts of testing:
* The green squares on the left of each tab are invisible buttons to activate my rollover. I wanted to see them during testing.
* The blue rectangles sometimes visible over the tabs' text was a theory gone wrong; I was hoping I could click those rectangles, which are buttons (which would be invisible) to initiate the MouseUp event instead of the actual tab, which is a movie clip.
* Needless to say, graphics are temporary! LOL
* Coding is also not optimized yet, so it's a little messy for now.

Taken from http:[url].....Creating the DNA effect like in the FlashBox banner.Create an object like the one shown below.Give it an instance name of dna1.You can use any colours but the colours I used are as follows: A radial gradient set with colours from left to right:
255.255.255 at alpha 100%
255,255,200 at alpha 50%
255,255,255 at alpha 100%
243,126,12 at alpha 40%
255,255,255 at alpha 0%
Now create a layer and name it actions. In the first keyframe give action:
Code:
for (i=2; i<30; i=i+1)
{
duplicateMovieClip ("/dna1", "dna" add (i), i);

The first 2 lines are working fine but not the rest.I am new to flash and trying to learn it thru tutorials.. I am stuck here.. Do we want to write any script for this or any other way to do it..?

I can easily make a dynamic image with one or two lines of symmetry.
My normal approach is to take a square image and mirror it once too make one line of symmetry like this:
and then to make two lines of symmetry I can just mirror that image with one line of symmetry as well, making something like this:
images with 2 lines of symmetry work really well for 2D tessellations, but for 3D tessellations I need 4 lines of symmetry.
this is a problem since the way you'd normally do this is to basically fold the square in half both ways diagonally, which gives you triangles instead of rectangles.
this makes it harder to use rotation matrices to mirror the source image.
has anyone come up with a good way to give a source image that you can loop through every pixel quickly and mirror it in such a way that it has 4 lines of symmetry?
i have this completed so far, but i need the texture map to have 4 lines of symmetry, not 2 like it currently does.

I'm interested in learning how to create a "3d" object that a user can interact with using their mouse. I've taken 60+ pictures of a camera rotating by 5 degree increments and I'm trying to put together something similar to what Verizon has on their website for phones - Where your mouse rolls over an object and rotates it.
I've seen this done with Java as well, but I'm interested in how flash does it.

having previously made webpages just in html.I have a flash movie and wanted to add a series of links.I've made some buttons, but when I rightclick on them and go to actions, I don't get the 'basic actions>geturl' command that the help screens tell me I should have. I get some other crazy menu with options like 'Global Functions', 'Actionscript 2.0 Classes' etc.how I can bring up the actions menu that will allow me to create a link from my buttons?

i'm creating a very linear game which will be dialogue-heavy. In fact, there will be little action involved at all. Think a game storybook. I'm using ActionScript 2 because AS3 is just too complicate for the type of newbie that I am. But all I'm trying to do is set up dialogue between two characters in my game with an image of the speaking character to the left of the textbox. Something very much like this:I considered creating arrays for the dialogue but my problem is that if I create an array for every time two characters exchange three lines of dialogue, I would end up with over 300 arrays. Not my cup of tea.
So, instead, I focused on this. I created a function called speak. Speak pulls two parameters: charNum and charText. CharNum is a number which specifies which frame of the charPic instance should be displayed, showing which character is currently speaking. CharText is simply the dialogue the character will speak, which will be displayed in the dynamic textbox with variable name 'dialogue'.The following code is an example of what I have at home. I'm at work trying to get help, so I don't have the actual coding. Therefore, small errors may be present. I'm looking more at the overall functions guiding my code.
[Code]...
You see, AS2 sees these as I believe what is called synchronous functions, meaning they run at the same time. Therefore, the second speak function overwrites the first one before the user presses the space bar to go to the next one. See the issue?I've tried to seek help on this issue (and other before), and I keep getting told about arrays and setInterval. But my problem is that I've tried it all. I don't see a good array tutorial about this type of thing, and setInterval doesn't function like I'd want as well. Instead, it seems that from what I've read and tried, setInterval is for setting a delay up for a certain amount of time. I don't want that. I want a delay to occur until a button (namely the space bar) is pressed.
Like I said, this seems like a fairly common thing to do (stringing together dialogue in a flash movie/game), but I have seen no tutorial nor other help through all my Google and forum searching. A little push in the right direction would be appreciated. Like I said, I've figured out everything else my game needs from preloaders to game inventory to animation effects.

is there a way to create an if statement that would load a movie clip after a different movieclip is loaded.i have text_mc and scroll_mc. I dont want scroll_mc to load unless the content is loaded into the text_mc.I tryed to make an if statement sort of like a something used for a preloader but I must have been off just a bit because it was not working.

I am making a movie clip and want to draw lines from one movie clip to another to make it look like connectors on a flowchart. How do I use the returned values using a getbounds() method to draw a line from movie clip A to movie clip B. how the xMin, xMax, yMin and yMax values translate to finding the 4 corners of a rectangular movieclip. Can I use these values to draw lines from the movieclip using lineto().

I will have to explain this in steps. I have a flash website, inside it I have the content on frame 2 (frame 1 = preloader) from there I have a content_mc which holds my pages. I have a home page (frame labeled home) which inside displays the home_mc. In here I have inserted a flvPlayback component. Here's where the problem is. I have moved a stop and volume component on it as wel which has automatically linked up (which is nice). But I would like when I click the stop button, the video disappears. The videoPlayback is called "introVid", the instance name is "vid", and is residing within the "home" mc.
I know the code is something like:
this.visible = false;
or
movieclip(root).home.vid/introVid.visible = false;
or I have also seen people using visibility = false...
However I cannot find out how to link this with the flvPlayback Stop button component. Inside the button all I can find is: The 4 button states,
some code on stop button itself:
stop();
this.upLinkageID="StopButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID="StopButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID="StopButtonDown";
this.disabledLinkageID="StopButtonDisabled";
I require to put my actionscript on the press or release, but I cannot find out to do this, I assume the code at the moment is calling a "flash component class" which holds the actions for "stopButtonDown" or something, I did have a go at manually creating a mc and a button, and making that stop the flvPlayback, and hiding the movieClip, but with no luck.

I am trying to get some actions on a duplicated MovieClip Now what I got is something like this:
Actionscript Code: I have some loop wrapped around this so the 'i' changes.duplicateMovieClip("target", "new"+i, 100+i);// I use 'i' because i need a few of those...for(i=0;i<somenumber;i++){_root["new"+i].onEnterFrame = function(){//actions}}
And it won't work. Logically it just makes MCs "new1" "new2" "new3" and so on.And then it checks for those.If i put a MC named "new3" on stage, it works. I guess i'm just stupid and doing the duplication wrong or something.

I've read that it's easier to simply put all the actions that you will be using on one layer of the whole .fla, so it will be easier to configure and change settings. Well I've been trying to do that, and I'm kinda new at it, like I can get around with putting actions on movieclips, but now since I've started doing it this way, I've had some troubles... For example
ActionScript Code:
player_mc.onLoad = function(){
playerSpeed = 5;
playerHealth = 50;
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
[Code] .....
That's simply a character moving script, but it doesn't seem to be working for me, and I think it's because it's on the Actions layer and not on the movieclip...

I cannot get the lines to draw onto the top of the MovieClip box_mc.At this pojnt, my solution is to change the alpha of box_mc to 0. Now I can see my drawings which are under the box_mc but keep within the boundries of the MovieClip.Maybe my thinking is too concrete, but I was trying to get the drawing lines to stay on top of the MovieClip box_mc like it was a small drawing board.I have tried place a reference to the stage in various places and use addChildAt() in order to see f I can change the MovieClip's place in the hierarchy but so far nothing has worked.
