I have a flash menu (125 px x 600 px) on the left of a webpage. It consists of (15) buttons each of them havin' a onMouseOver-->getURL. When the mouse enters the flash movie (that is the menu) there is a mask button that moves along the y axis and when you move to a button in the menu the mask moves to that point. When you click on it it opens the URL in your browser. Now the problem is that when you leave the flash movie (menu) I want the mask to go to the upper part of the movie (menu).How can I do that?

I was doing some assignments in my as3 textbook when I ran into a bit of trouble. I'm trying to make a flash that picks 3 random questions out of a total of 10 and displays them on screen. I made each of the questions movieclips and assigned them all a class (question1 - 10) through Linkage. So the variable "randomQ" is the name of the class of a random question, but how do I get flash to understand that? And how do I spawn that question as a movieclip on stage?
Code:
var Question:MovieClip = new randomQ();
I've tried various alterations but can't seem to find the right one. It's possible I've yet to learn the necessary knowledge in order to make this flash.
I have been making a shooting game(birds-eye view), and have put 'Bots' into it but i seem to be have trouble making the bots spawn randomly over the entire map. (550w x 400h-the usual)I have tried using the Math.random function but it only picks between 0 and 1; is there a way to make Math.random choose between 0 - 550 (for the width of screen) ???Or would i have to make some function for that purpose?
View 8 RepliesI'm wondering how could I write a function that spawns movieclips from all sides of the stage, just like Squares 2? Is it by using a sort of loop?
View 1 RepliesMy character is spawned in the middle of the screen, and i'm not sure how to make zombies spawn from the left and right side of the screen, and moving towards the middle. My goal is to make the zombies spawn automatically, and the character in the middle is able to shoot them down. I've just started working on AS3, but i know that i'll need to make an array to do this, but not sure how to implement this.
Here is my code:

I am making a game where red squares spawn on the right side of the screen. So far the red squares spawn all the way up and down the height of the stage. The problem is that I want the red squares to spawn only in areas randomly below a certain height of the stage
This is the code so far
enemy.x = 470 ;
enemy.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;
This code makes the red squares spawn all the way up and down the height of the stage.

EDIT: What do I need to write in AS3 to make a dynamic text field increase in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the upper half of the screen, and decrease in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the lower half of the screen?Purpose, it isn't a game.
What I have right now isn't actually doing any of those things, I've just been mucking about trying to get all the masks working and they finally are.
I've included the code to offer as much information as possible about my specific project. There is also a few more lines that changes the colour of the dial when the user rolls over the specific coloured bars. I can post that as well if it helps.
To clarify the scene, the arrow part of the dial tracks the user's mouse. Always pointing towards it. The bars, when rolled over changes the colour of said dial. The "73M" is static, as well is "POINTS" but the 380 value is dynamic. It is that string I need to affect.
If anything is unclear please feel free to ask, I've been at this all night so there is a chance I'm so into it that I can't see straight.

And also is there a way to print a part of flash contents of maybe entirely compose the stuff (image that is) you give to printer.In my case i have a flash in which contains to pictures (basicaly even and odd page of a book) and other stuff. I want to add printing functionality. Also i want user to be able to choose what to print - whole flash, both pages or just one of them

so i am having trouble with adding a box randomly on the screen. I have done this before and it seems like it should have a relatively easy solution.

Nothing happens at all but there is no errors. Also i would like to keep everything in the classes.
On my previous post Adding a object randomly on the screen in as3 I explained the specifics of my situation. But I will go over it again. I have a box with a class(not my document class. I do have one called Main but this one is just an AS class referencing my box.) The classes name is Box and my MC box is exported as Box. This is the codethis is in my main file on the main timline
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, createbox);
var _box:Box = new Box;
var boxlimit:int = 2;

Kinda of new to all this Flash stuff and need some help working on an animation. I want to have four circles move around the screen randomly. When the user moves his mouse over a circle, I would like it to stop and be bale to use it as a link.
I have used the Flash MX script off the site and can get the circles to move about fine. Just haveing some problems getting them to stop when the mouse is moved over them, and making them into links.
How can I make a border in a part of the screen that when objects inside hit it they cannot pass it. for example like flash games have with bubbles that cannot pass the screen border and they just travel in the screen's space.Is it possible to make this with box2d. I haven't worked with this framework.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to fade in and out some movie clips using the Tween class, but am having problems. I have the following code which fades in my movie clips:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
// Fade in and out
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(wds_mt, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 100, false);
var myTween2:Tween = new Tween(wds_sf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 150, false);
var myTween3:Tween = new Tween(wds_hush, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 120, false);
var myTween4:Tween = new Tween(wds_10, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 300, false);
var myTween5:Tween = new Tween(wds_uf, "alpha", Regular.easeIn, 0, 0.5, 210, false);
However, I need to fade them out and then loop the fade in-out animation forever.
I had an idea I would like to incorporate into my site, and sure that Flash can accomodate, but what better place to check!? Say I have a mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, mc_4, and mc_5 all are basically the same information, just varied lead in animations. Is there a code that I can call to randomly choose among those when the site is loaded? Pretty vague I know, but right now I am adding them via "addChild," so would there be something I could use to accomplish this?
View 3 RepliesI have a slider on my stage that returns a number between 0 - 300 depending on where the user moves the slide.What I would like to do is add and remove movieclips as the user slides the slider so that the number of movieclips on the stage is proportional to the slider's value.An example: If the slider value is 300, I want 300 circles on the stage. As the slider moves down to zero, the number of circles on the stage decrease.I've been trying to think of the best way to do this. Should I use addChild and removeChild? Or just change the visibility?And what would be the best way to refer to each movieclip? Should I use an array? Or maybe an if/else statement?

I posted this in the Flash 8 forum, but wonder if I'll have better luck in here. I need to get movie clips to play randomly. Currently, I have actionscript on Frame 1, and a movie clips on the stage in Frame 2. Also in each movie clip as the last frame I have "PlayMC();".[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a flash movie in which I've created something that functions similarly to a calculator. When the user clicks a button, depending which button was pressed and in which order, a series of movie clips is displayed from left to right in specific positions, using addChild. I have a button on the calculator which I would like to have function similarly to a 'clear' button on a real calculator. When clicked, it would remove only the movie clips that were displayed by clicking the calculator buttons. how I can remove only the movieclips that are part of the calculator display? Here are some
code samples.
var mcSelection:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
//check to see how many times a calculator button was clicked
function checkTime()
{
[Code].....
I've tried different variations of removeChild and removeChildAt, but either parts of the calculator are getting removed, or I remove the parts of the display one clip at a time instead of all together, or I get out of range errors. How do I target a certain range of movieclips to remove? Do I need to assign a specific range of levels when the new movieclips are added and then remove that range? It will be different number of clips and combination of clips every time.
I have an animated MovieClip of a fly that spawns at a random location and moves across the screen by bouncing off the walls. But every time the animation starts over, it seems to "jump" to a random location. Here is the code I have for when it spawns:

How do I fix it so that the fly continues moving in its appropriate path every time the animation starts over?

View 1 RepliesI am generating movieClips outside of the stage I want to send them randomly into the stage in enter frame. Currently it looks like this, so they go like in all directions... How could I direct each of them randomly into the stage?

I can place the movieclips randomly on the stage but I am trying to randomly populate shapes with movieclips.
Code:
ball_mc.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
I tried just replacing stage.stageWidth with box_mc.width but that didnt work. Also, I wanted to create more complicated shapes for their bounding area then just a movieclip's rectangle.
I have an mp3 playing. What I would like is to have a movieclip that is located in the library appear, complete it's animation then get removed. The movie clip must complete this proccess 4 times, randomly during the length of the song but never at the same time and not in the last 5 seconds of the song. BTW I can't do this manually by just firing it off a random amount of times because this code will be used with lots of different mp3's, so I need to use the dynamic data I get by retrieving the song length. I have the code working to retrieve the length of the song, and I have a variable that stores the length minus 5 seconds from the end, so I basically have the length of time I wish to work with.
My problem is making the movie clips appear 4 times randomly throughout that length of time. The code is below (what I have so far), the movieclip is stored in the library as circle_mc. The timer I'm using at the beginning of the code (to retrieve the length of the song) is set to run after 2 seconds this is because there is a delay in the music starting and if it did it instantly the number retrieved obviously would be 0, so I delay it by 2 secs till I know the song is playing. At the moment I'm just trying to get it to fire twice, at the moment it fires once or not at all.
