Heres my scenario, I have a menu bar that is off stage with just a little part showing. I want to be able to rollover the part showing so the whole menu eases into the stage. I have this done, however, i would like it so that when I roll off the menu bar it will ease back out.Im just unsure of how to go about this. Ill post what I have, in the meantime I'll still keep trying to tweek the code.

View 1 RepliesI want to have a _btn or _mc on stage that, when continuously clicked, loads sequential JPEGs from the library via attachMovie and tween fade it in. I can comfortably do that with a _btn per JPEG but do not know how to code for one _btn for, say, 20 JPEGs.

Is there a general character length rule in working with filenames. I know windows doesnt have a problem what about other OS? Apple etc.?

View 5 RepliesI'm new to Flex. Let's say we have a web application that needs to download several series of data (several thousand numbers) used by one screen.When the user leaves that screen and later returns to it (in the same session; that is, the user hasn't logged out then logged back in), should the application fetch the original downloaded data from cache or simply download it again? What are pros and cons of each and are there any general rules of thumb to follow when it comes to re-downloading data (e.g. again) versus simply getting it from cache? The goal would be to minimize user's wait time as long as there's no drawback.
View 1 RepliesI'm having problems getting my player to switch directions and just bounces off of the walls of the stage. I tried reversing the rate but it still shoots off into the distance and this is what I have now, it just stops the guy at the edge and nothing more. Does anyone know how I can properly make him bounce?

I'm trying to do the following:
1. Have a permanent animation on the background, running over and over again.
2. My buttons should control that animation. What I want to do is to reverse the animation (going backwards on the timelime) when the user press the button, no matter in which frame the animation is.
3. Finally, when the animation is "gone", the buttons must point to an specific label.
I'm not sure how to to the reverse motion thing and if that's possible usings AS2. BTW, I'm attaching the file (just 8Kb) to show the idea, the real animation in the background is gonna be a movie clip but it's heavy to upload and I don't believe anyone will download it.
I have an mc which when rollOver plays an animation (works like a button), on rollOut I want the animation to play in reverse... I have seen it done before using a fucntion, but can't seem to get it to work... If I just reverse all the frames and get it to play that on rollOut it doesn't work properly...

I have a 23 frame animation that is moved forward or back on a mouse over. The problem is trying to reverse it. It is ok until it gets to frame 1 then it just stops. I need to get it to jump to frame 23 and to start reversing aagain.

rewind = true;
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,revFrame);

I am trying to have a small simple animation. This animation needs to have a roll over listener. This roll over listener must begin a downward motion for this movie clip. And then another listener must be a click or rollout that will make the clip reverse and begin an upward motion at any point that it is executed. This is the code I got so far, but the only thing that seems to work is the rollover downward motion. I cannot seem to get the upward reversing motion to execute.
stop();
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playy);
function playy(e:MouseEvent):void

I make a button with some animated effects. On main work area I select object and press F8 to convert button with the name of (button1). The Up as it is which I make: w=70, h=50. Press F6 and same button on Over, here I again select object and press F8 and convert to Movie Clip. Here I insert 10 frames, one by one the button extend width and height. On 10th frame the button size 110x90 width and height. To animate and stop the button I put "stop" action on frame 10.I want that if the user's mouse over on button than the 10 frames play as I mentioned above but if the user don't want to click on (button1) than all of these 10 frames play reverse or add more frames and button will go to their original size and place. Is there any script bcuz I am new and don't know about action scripts.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a banner where two colored squares roll across the screen. The first blue square does just fine, however when trying the same thing with a green square (in a different layer) it does ok the first half of the tween, but reverses direction in the second half (where I placed a keyframe)- even though I rotated the green square the same way as the first half.

I have a movieclip with 100 frames which contain happy and sad faces alternatively. the playhead starts from frame 100 and skips a frame to 98 then 96 and so on until 2. it skips the sad faces.... but for some strange reason .. it flickers. [code]...
I have a function set up to determine the speed of the mouse, if the mouse is moved to the left it is returned as a variable in a negative number. I also have a function to make a movie clip scroll along, at the moment if you set the speed to 3 it will move to the left. So a positive number will move the movieclip to the left So you can see my predicament because the numbers are opposite, is there way of reversing one of them?
Here it is in short

*trouble with gotoandplay and roll out functions* basically i have an after effects movieclip (followed the after effects button tutorial on this site) that i have made into a button. it works ok on rollover and rollout i use tweener which works a treat and when i click it goes to another frame and plays a small sequence of smoke exploding.
problem: its a look problem really. when i rollout the smoke click sequence tweens back to frame 0 as per my rollout instructions IS there a way for me to have the click smoke sequence play all the way through before going back to frame 0 on my rollout ? i see tweener has a oncomplete statment is that of anyuse? ive tried a few thigns but it always reverts to the rollout and reverses the footage.

I have the minWidth set on all of the DataGridColumns and the width set on one of them. If I simply maximize/minimize the display (in browser or stand-alone flash player) of the application, the columns scale up and down nicely. But if you grab the edge of the application and drag it to make it bigger, only one column grows really big. When you drag the size down again, the one column remains big, but all of the other columns get squished way down.

I have just learned how to create the wonderful "drawing" effect in flash by reversing frames. However, when I publish my work (either as .swf or as an animated .gif) the drawing draws, and then the completed graphic disappears.
I have the settings set so that it will not loop since I do not want it to "draw" more than once. So what do I do so that when the animation is done drawing, it doesn't disappear?
