ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrolling Images Using SetInterval & Naming Convention?
Mar 17, 2009
I am looking at a sample sliding image flash file that uses setInterval and rollOvers etc. I noticed that the author named his instances as numbers which isn't allowed. I don't even understand how he was able to do it unless he used an older version of flash. CS won't let you name an instance starting with a number.
He has 5 instances on the main timeline all named "1" thru "5". I figured I would try to rectify the problem by changing the actions and of course changing the name of the movieclips to "mc_1" thru "mc_5". I ran into some logic problems because his script relies on using the _name property of the clip in order to correctly select the active button when the user rollOver it.
For example, if I rollOver the 3 button the rollover = this._name property apporiately equals "3" which is simple. But when I tried to change it via a variable so that it equals "mc_3" well I have run into a problem because obviously 3 is a number while mc_3 is a string.
Here is the original code:
Code:
image_slider.onEnterFrame = function() {
var _counter = this;
_counter.x_target = -(rollover - 1) * 352 + 576;
[Code]....

This is not a technical question, just out of curiosity, why do we usually use the reverse domain naming convention for packages? i.e. com.yourname.yourpackage.class

When you're working with a class that has both a private and a public function by the same name (something like playVideo())? Often my public playVideo() function only provides a hook to the real private playVideo() function, which will contain more functionality. Should I use an underscore in the private version -- _playVideo() -- or is there some better way to do this?
I know it's a matter of preference and there really is no right or wrong way, but I haven't been naming all of my private properties with the underscore so it seems odd to start now with only *some* of them. This sort of trivial thing has bugged me for a while, so I finally decided I should get it settled.

I have seen lot projects following this kind of coding style
Any significant advantage the following syntax
My project name : King Author(KA)
I am going create button components. My class name "KAButton"
Is it right approach and what about namespace?

I am trying to make scrolling text appear on a few screens, so that when I click on a button to go to the next frame the characters of a sentence will appear one after another as if someone is talking. This works a few times however when I go back to the first frame the following error occurs and the text no longer appears?
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

i couldn't find a tutorial on this matter so i sorta started making my own hypothesis... what i'm trying to do is: have a gallery of images automatically scrolling horizontally while having the set of images loop. like at[URL]..
here are a couple of my theories and questions for AS commands to have this work:
1) display a range of pixels of an image at certain positions, i.e. if gallery is scrolling to the left, leftmost image when its parts are disappearing out of the viewing area, they become visible at the right.
2) have two instances of each image and when an image is disappearing on left, the second instance of that image comes visible on the right. this I imagine would take up more HD space.
i guess what i was wondering more about is how jager did their gallery where there's only enough images are in a set to be viewed in the viewing area.

I see examples in the SWFAddress documentation, but it's not clear what the convention should be for a multi-level path. Do their examples intend to suggest that the path separator should be a hyphen?

Im trying to set up a series of scrolling images. Each of these images should have a value from a-z. When shot (by an arrow) they should place the letter at the bottom of the screen, kinda like hangman.Heres what i have atm. I can post the fla + .as also.
ActionScript Code:
public function collideArrow(testedArrow:arrow, arrowArrayPos:int):void {
for (var h:int = aBubbles.length-1; h>=0;h--) {
if (testedArrow.hitTestObject(aBubbles[h])) { //if arrows hit bubbles[code].....

I have noticed a few sites I've come across that have custom scrollbars that work along with images inside of the text boxes (or containers?) If anyone can point me in the right direction, even to a tutorial that would work and allow me to create a scrollbar that will work with image content as well as text

If you click on a client a set of images come up that move according to the x/y position of the mouse hover. This is something I'm wanting to create for my graphic design portfolio for a website, having 2 simple images that when you hover over them; dependent on the direction you move the mouse reveals more images. I have no flash skills at all and I've scoured the internet to try and find one.

I have been working on a couple of projects where image scrolling have been necessary, usually along the x-axis, cause of the number of images - usually the scroll is started if you roll-over a button or something. I have solved it using a Timer, or previously setInterval, that updates the .x-property like 30 times a second or so. But in the end this method turns out to be kind of laggy, regardless of what fps I use. So I wonder if you guys could share your prefered method of scrolling

My boss wanted me to make scrolling images and captions for each image when you rollover them. I made the images scroll by making each image a button and masking those images. I can't seem to get the captions right though.The dynamic text box I am using is inside the mask (because I cannot figure out how to put it on the main time line and make it work). The rollovers work when the dynamic text box is in the mask, but when I scroll through the images, the text scrolls too and some of the captions you cannot even see. The web site is below if you need to see what I am talking about.http:[url].......
I figured that what I need to do is put the dynamic text box on the main time line and not in the mask. But I can't seem to get that to work.Here is the code I am putting on the actual image buttons. My text box instance name is rOver and yes, I did embed the fonts.
on (rollOver) {
rOver.text ="caption";
}[code]..............

I have a client who wants a home page similar to the way this one operates: http:[url]... It contains 10 images that are on a steady horizontal scroll that repeats. The images seem to be at about 50% opacity and they increase to 100% upon rollover. The images don't need to link to different pages. The way this one works would be fine, just all leading to another gallery page that gives more info.how I can achieve this type of look thru Flash? I have done some browsing online but most tutorials I've found are more like viewers where the user has arrows to scroll forward and back. This one is different, just sort of operates on its own....like walking by and window shopping for my client's products.

I am new to actionscript development and can't figure out where to start. I am trying to create a picture gallery in Actionscript (Flex would also do, but no Flash). Basically, it should be a horizontal list of images with captions below the picture. It should be possible to scroll through the images on a touch enabled device -> no scrollbars
I have looked into ScrollViewport put don't know how to implement a basic version in pure Actionscript.! I have included a small sketch I have seen alot of solutions with a scrollbar. But I want something like on iOS where you scroll with your finger through the images.

I am looking for some script in flash, which is able to do the following:I have some images which i just want to scroll horizontally with equal spaces in a specified fps and without any jerking. Is any way ??Because i tried to do the same by using the simple motion tween, they are moving but also jerking, not in a certain level of perfection. So, i thought it might work best with some scripts

The file reads images from Images folder.But the problem is that its leaving a gap in the end and the start.Also the funny thing is the XML reads from the last node instead of the first.What I want is the images to scroll Continuously Without leaving gap.
Here's the Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
//test=xmlNode;

I have a somewhat advanced flash question. Im constructing a gallery using xml. My code isn't too different from most xml galleries. But heres what I can't figure out or even know if it can be done. After clicking the links (currentThumb_mc) my full res images come up to view. All my .jpg's/full res images are the same height but they all differ in widths. I have a mask set up where the full res images get loaded to. My question is can i set up code to scroll the current loaded image behind my mask and have the edges stop at the mask width.This may be tricky because all the .jpg's/full res images are different widths. I assume you need to get the x property of the loaded images. im not too familiar with that.below is my code
Code:
fscommand("fullscreen", true);
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I am trying to create Vertical scrolling images. I found a tutorial using AS 3.0, used that, but made a couple of alterations - like I did not want the images centered on the stage and I added more images than what the tutorial showed. As a result I have several errors in the Actionscript.

I'm using Flash 8 Pro (if I don't finish today, I'll switch to CS4 Pro/AS2), and I have a dynamic text box and used actionscript to make it scroll. I need to insert images into that text box, but I can't figure out how. I don't know how to get HTML to work in conjunction with it either. I'm afraid that if I change too much, the AS will stop working.This is the code I'm using to make it scroll:
Code:
//scrolling
//variables
var scrollup = false;
[code]....
It might be a bit messy, I've only been using Flash for two months, and got back from a one month break just last week, but at least it works. how I can make this work without destroying the scrolling, or will I have to improvise something else? I'm on a bit of a time crunch and just want to get this site finished.

Here is an example online, I am trying something similar but am not happy with what I am seeing, perhaps it is just on my side. The scrolling seems choppy/jagged. I have this same issue doing a similar scroll with lots of big images. Is there any way to get a nice smooth scroll at a decent speed with flash?
Ive ported my as2 code into as3 but am seeing the same results. I have used tweener and tweenlite, nothing Ive tried is helping. how to achieve a smooth scroll?
