Haven't touched Flash in years... trying to do something simple, but it isn't working well. Guess I'm REALLY rusty. I have a flash video with 3 button. Initially, I set a variable (frame 2)
Code:
var x = 0; Then I have the 3 buttons. One of the buttons has the following code (the two other buttons have similar code, but set different variables)

I'm getting data from a database and I put this data in an array that looks like this:
me, you, he, she
Now I want this data to be put in an dynamic text field like this
me
you
he
she
and they all have the option to click on it and do things like this
for me:
Code:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay (20);
}[code]....
I have an AS 2 movie that has tons of navigation. When the movie first loads, the main screen plays an animation and stops. That animation is my main menu. If a user clicks the home button (which is an MC instance) it takes him to the Home Movie and plays. From here, I need to be able to fade out that movie and fade in a new movie when the user clicks on the next button. So, I want to create a variable on(release) of the button thats within the Home MC that will play the fade out and then be directed to the next animation.I imagine something like this.
buttonA == false;
on(release){
buttonA = true;

I am trying to go about a "smarter" way of setting up multi paged full flash sites. This has got to be something very simple that i can't seem to put my finger on.
I'm trying to create a variable called 'currentScen' that i can declare off the start and change depending on what page the viewer goes to in the site.
I could put a bunch of 'if' statements saying that 'if the current page is this page then do this, if it's this page do this' etc. for each individual page but i thought there must be an easier way.
I am trying to get the following to work:
Code:
// declaring what the starting page is
var currentScen:String = "welcomeMovie";
//function fading in called page with animation used on the 'over' frame label
function animateOn(page:String) {

Im working on a flash menu right now and I wan to create a dynamic gotoAndPlay. but I need to insert a variable into the target path right now here is what Im doing.
Code:
MyVar="FirstMC";
_root.Nav.MyVar.gotoAndPlay("out");
and right now Flash doesn know what to do with it... I would like to make this variable global also which is nothing more than throwing the _global command before my variable right?
for (var i=1; i<=arrayCount; i++){
var temp:String = "editremove_mc";
temp += i;
[code].....
I try to include a variable in gotoandplay(); like:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(_root.strScene, 1);
}
it gives me an error and say it must be quted, i tryed everything and im sick of it and i will breack my pc
Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:
[Code]....
But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
So I've defined my variable:_global.current = 1;And below i am accessing an MC called 'carousel_holder', which has an MC named 'bar' and inside this MC is a final MC named 'bar1'.So ive tested my path and can hard code it fine, so its not a paths issue but i think my syntax is incorrect:_root.carousel_holder+".bar"+current.gotoAndPlay(" start");
View 4 RepliesI have set the variable in my page using <param name="flashvars" value="menustate=<?php $pagename; ?>"> which works perfectly fine when I use a dynamic textbox in flash with the var name menustate.
But I need to send a MC to frame 2 if 'menustate = 2'. Anyhow, I just want to know how to control a MC with an external var. I can't use loadVars () because this var is coming from any page, not just one.
In my movie I load a swf to a movieclip with this code
PHP Code:
_root.ImageViewer.loadMovie("deneme.swf");
Now can I do this? before calling the swf named deneme. When I press a button If I attain a number to a global variable with this code
PHP Code: on (release) {_global.myVar = 5;gotoAndPlay("CloseUpAnimation");}
Can I read this variable from the swf which I load into my movie?If I can read how can I write a If Statement that will gotoAndPlay according to that variable?
PHP Code:[code]...
I have trouble with a script for my game project. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. This is the code I'm using:
[Code].....
Now, if the variable enemie_life drops to 0 (which I'm tracking with a dynamic text box) it just ignores frame 241 and continues with the second part of the code. There I have another problem: from my understanding (and the way I'd like it to be) it should give me a 3/1 chance to go to 126 and otherwise go to 181. The latter almost never happens. It seems more like a 100/1 chance (and I tried it often ...).
When a variable reaches 0 gotoAndPlay frame 4
ActionScript Code:
//Variable Name: ammo
if(_root.ammo = 0;
_root.gotoAndPlay(4);
Doesn't work maybe?
I'm working on a small application that uses some throw physics to fling items around the stage. Everything is working as it should, apart from when I test it on my touch screen, the throw physics don't work. I've tried all sorts of things, in in those tests noticed that AS2 release and release outside do work on the screen perfectly, whereas mouse up and mouse out do not!
So, is there a way to emulate the AS2 mouse events in AS3, as I have to stick with AS3 this time.
For some reason i'm having problems swapping scenes in my flash movie. At first i put the action in a "actions" named layer and a link to a button. So basicly when scene1 loads the frame 1 action is "stop ();". The viewer clicks on button1 which has a code of;

I'm making a menu, which moves buttons out of the way for other menu components, and also alternates backgrounds to make way for various external movieclips. So the stack of buttons have various instructions that differ, depending on where they are in the time line at that particular point. Does that make sense? What I'm having problems with is the changing of backgrounds. I have the various options on frames 1-4 on the main timeline. Everything works fine until the movie happens to already be ON the frame it is being told to go to. It gets confused and goes to a different frame instead. How can a tell the button to go to a particular frame on the main time line, but, if it is already on that frame, to do nothing?
View 9 RepliesI am developing a complete AS3 based corporative website. Everything is nice and cool, except that seems to be impossible to release memory... I have read tons of articles referring memory management on AS3, and applied all the techniques on my code: I'm using weakly referenced listeners, removing them when I am done, setting to null all my objects when I want to release them, using the method unloadAndStop whenever I want to unload one of my external SWF files, disposing my loaded bitmaps using bitmapData.dispose()...
And no way, the memory continues increasing to infinite and beyond... One thing that calls my attention: If I minimize my browser and only on that situation, the memory goes down on my task manager to a reasonable amount.
how can i play mc when "on release"?
View 1 RepliesI've got a movie control which loads different .swf files into a blank movie when the user click an image below the main view. In windows it works fine and also in Safari 5 for Windows but I've been told it will just not work on a Mac in any browser.
Actions for Frame 1
loadMovie("movie1.swf","mainView");
bnt1
Actions for bnt1

The frame 1 action works on the Mac but the mouse will not interact with the buttons to load the other movies when the user tries to click them.
I have other similar controls which work on the Mac but they are using on release get url functions for the interaction. All the swf files are loaded from the same directory as the control on the web server.
Im trying to get this code to work ... The idea is the when I press the "w" key, the MC will move up Y_axis and when I release the "w" key the MC eases a little bit further

My company has a application developed by flash. We must encrypt it before release. So is some can tell me how to do it? Is there some very simple but efficient way? Or are there some good sofe for encrypting swf?
View 1 RepliesI've made 2 swf's. One is navigation with a movieclip named "connn" where another swf of content being loaded into it. The second swf is the content consists of a scrollable bar of thumbnails at the bottom, loading particular content on the stage. For the contents swf, I've this script on each of the thumbnail
PHP Code:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("framename");
}
which framename is marked on the top level of the flash, with a movie clip of a couple of images swaping. And this work perfectly. [URL]
PHP Code:
loadMovie("services_web.swf",this.connn);
which load the content into the movie clip named "connn". It got no problem loading the swf in but I discover that after it is loaded, the thumbnail script of the content failed to work. (please see: http://mr-otto.com/wd/services.html under WEB/INTERACTIVE > websites)
I guess that is the problem of the _root. thing and perhaps changing this I can have it work as perfect as it can be even being called in another swf.
I Have this code:
this.map_fade.map.image.tar_total.btn_bp_035.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_fade.map.zoom.zoomer_txt_right.text = ("xxxxx");
trace("over");
}
this.map_fade.map.image.tar_total.btn_bp_035.onRelease = function() {
trace("release");
}
The strange thing (for me ) is that the on RollOver works and the on Release does not.
It controls a collection of 6 "slides". Each slide has a corresponding button, and it also slides every x seconds when the mouse is still. I'd like the buttons (b1 through b6) to change once they are pressed (to a similar image, just with a black dot in the center, which shows it is selected) and then return once another one is selected.

When you try to release the project, Flex gives me the following: Flash Builder program failed to publish the source code of the Project:
Unable to find the application file "betaProject4.mxml".
Could not find the application file "betaProject4.mxml".
Currently in a project of this file is not found, removed all of the bin-release, but something did not work.
I'm a bit rusty with actionscript and I know this is probably really easy but I can't get it to work.
Ok, in a certain scene I am loading a clip with this code.
"myMCL.loadClip("historytext.swf", 5);"
When I click the "Home" button to go back to the home page with this code
"on (release) {gotoAndPlay("home", 110);
}" the historytext.swf remains and I need it to go away. code I need to put on the button to make historytext.swf go away when I release the button and go to the home page?
So I'm trying to make basic sprite control with the keyboard so that he walks right when the right arrow key is down. At the time I'm not worrying about him actually moving, but just the sprites.
Now after I press right once, when I release he stays there. I realize that it's because there's no command to go back to a standing sprite. But when I put that command in, since flash has no key release control, every time you let go of right OR left he always returns to facing right.
So I'm having trouble make him face the way he was walking when you let go of a certain key, but all my attempts have failed.
