I am All Programmer when it comes to anything including flash. I got into making games not to long ago and some people use frames to navigate from the main menu to the game screen and so on (which I have no idea how to do). and some people encapsulate the game inside of a class and call it from the document class and add and remove it when please
View 4 RepliesAlright, so I've been struggling with this one since last night. When I create a new object (a new unit), and draw it to the screen (Flash does all the work there), the point at which it's first placed is considered its origin. That is, getX and getY will return the distance from that point... Why is that? Or how can I stop this?

I have build a hybrid site where the navigation at the top is Flash, and the bottom is html. On all the pages, I have used straight html with no frames. That's all fine, but the client has one page that must be loading an external page into a frame. So I have a frameset where the top frame has the Flash navigation and the bottom frame loads the external link. This works fine, but then when I click to one of the other links in the Flash navigation, it loads that page into the frame where the Flash movie (nav) is. I tried to set the links in the Flash nav to the window being _self, and _top, and this just loads it in a new window.
View 1 RepliesI downloaded a basic flash menu from iStock to use on a site I am making... but I am having an issue: Basically the component will let me drag instances of it onto the stage... , but when I try to edit any aspect of the component... it changes every one I have on the stage. All I want to do.. is to be able to script each instance to gotoandplay on a certain frame... the scripting is as follows:
this.onRollOver = function() {
this.mouseOver();
}; [code].....
I need to know if u can make a menu on flash which resides on the top frame and then can cross over to the adjoining frame.

View 1 Repliesso I have created a basic flash navigation menu bar for my website. I have added the bar into a frame on my dreamweaver page. I was just wondering if it was possible to link the buttons on my flash bar to open the pages into a different frame, the main frame below, my navigation bar? The code I have at the moment for my "home" button is the following:
[Code]...
and this is opening the "home" page in a new window. Is it possible to make it open it in my main frame (called mainFrame)? When I change _blank to _self it opens the page in the same frame where the menu bar is, not the mainFrame below it.
I have a site which is basically made up of two swfs. TopNav.swf, which is a dropdown menu, and container.swf. TopNav.swf is loaded into the container.swf. Right underneath TopNav is a movieClip that serves as a link. But for some reason once the dropdown menu rolls over the movieClip, the link disappears and is no longer clickable.

How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)

i'm trying to do everything in flash vs is exporting the menu to dreamweaver, and i can seem to have the buttons go to a certain frame and stop? this is the action script i'm using in the dropdown menu mc to get the button to work because if i do it in the to level of the scene i get error saying can access button
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, news)function news (event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(2)}
but the problem is if i put it in the dropdown menu mc then it just makes the button disappear and doesn't go to frame?
openMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openSubMenu);
function openSubMenu(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.nextFrame();
} openMenu.closeMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeSub);
function closeSub(event:MouseEvent):void {
this.openMenu.prevFrame();
} stop();
I've got the above code on my first frame, and was hoping that it would open a menu when a button was clicked, and once the button within the MC is clicked it would then close. Hence the nextFrame and prevFrame actions.
I keep getting TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
What code would I use to make a button, that when you click, it returns you to frame one. Gotoandstop doesn't work.
View 1 RepliesSo i am working on a pause menu for my game. I have an inventory box that has slots for weapons, powerups, and other items. I wanted different boxes that are specific to each type of pick-up (weapons, powerups, other). So I drew a box with 3 frames, it is set up similar to tabs in a web browser; click on weapons tab and you see your weapons in your inventory, click on powerups tab and you see the powerups etc...
In each frame I gave the inventory slots different instance names, i.e. in weapons; weaponSlot1, weaponSlot2, and in powerups; powerupSlot1, powerupSlot2.
When the player bumps into an item, i use gotoAndStop('frame number') so that each item is added to the proper inventory slot. the only problem is that if i bump into a key then pause the game, the key is there (under 'Other' tab), but if i click the 'weapon' tab and then go back to 'other', the key is no longer there.
This makes sense because when you click on each tab, i use gotoAndStop('frame number'), and in each frame the inventory slots are blank, so im stumped on how to keep each item in the proper slots?
I am going to i upload all my files in a zip, the main file that you will want to look at is the PauseMenu.as file
Also you will notice 3 public functions called 'checkWeaponSlots', 'checkPowerupSlots', and 'checkOtherSlots'. These are called in my main file, when the player bumps into an item, these functions are called to check which slots are empty.
