ActionScript 2.0 :: String To MovieClip Is That Possible / XML-Related
Jun 26, 2008
I'm trying to put together an XML based Flash map. On the right side, is a dynamically loaded XML menu. Now, my problem is that the rollover and rollout effects for the menu doesn't work. Basically, I have a movie clip that contains a dynamic textfield and another movieclip (the latter contains a button.I wanted it so that when the user rolls over this button, it plays, and when the user rolls out, it plays an exit "fade")[code]
I've tried using "var menuItem=this._name" to retrieve the "path" of my buttons when you rollOver them (which should be something like "mcContainer.menuItem.bCountyBG.gotoAndPlay(2) ;"), although I need the menuItem to change to whatever this._name is.It doesn't work because menuItem's returned value is considered a string, so I can't use it in my command---> "mcContainer.menuItem.bCountyBG.gotoAndPlay(2) ;I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it's possible to convert this string to a movieclip by some sort of function or other means?

What i want to do and keep failing is this : I have 2 buttons (A and B). After each of them is pressed one certain animation plays. Let's say when A pressed, we see the animation and later I want to see the Movieclip or page related to A. If B pressed, we see the same animation but after that Movieclip or page related to B should pop out.
A pressed = Intro(animation) Plays ==> A Movieclip or Page shows up
B pressed = Intro(animation) Plays ==> B Movieclip or Page shows up

I have created a class and I would like each object of this class to be related to a movieclip which I would be able to move around the scene.But I have to admit I don't really know how to do that.
The best would be that each of my objects have a movieclip called "graphical_representation"

I'm trying to create a game and have come across something that I have never really played with and am not sure if it is what I need to use in this instance or if it's as powerful of a resource as I am hoping.I have a movieClip that is an animated man. I can move him around my stage by clicking on him and then clicking where I want him to go. But I'm eventually going to need to store information about him. Such as his x and y position on the stage, attributes about him that are custom to my game.Real Quick: The man represents an army and when the user clicks on him, I want to display things like, Military Units in this army, number of men remaining in each unit, experience and so on. If you have ever played any of the "Total War" games you will know what I'm talking about.

What I would like to do is to use ASP.NET impersonation to authenticate a Flash app as a user in IIS so that the file dependencies related to the flash file ( XML config files, and PHP API calls ) are not anonymously accessible when users try to access them directly through the URL. So, instead of displaying the contents of an XML config file, it should tell the unauthenticated user they do not have permission to view the file.
Is this possible? Right now I'm looking into request headers and the settings in IIS for authentication.
So I found out how to use Basic Authentication through help posted here. The problem I'm running into is that even though the flash app sends the appropriate request. Which is handled fine in FF, Chrome, and Safari. It still displays the login pop-up box for Opera and IE. Does anyone know why IE and Opera behave differently with Basic Authentication?

I'm trying to make a slideshow of sorts for a friend of mine in which a php script lists the number of files it's found in a directory as well as the relative links to each file. The slideshow parses these values and is supposed to individually fade between two different pictures after loading the new one... but it works erratically at best.
I've got everything working up to a component related to onLoadInit that honestly is just driving me crazy because I cannot for the life of me figure it out, as it works sometimes, other times not at all, etc. It's also supposed to loop infinitely, but it won't.
If you'd like to see what's going on, go to[URL]../moveit to see how weird it acts. Following is the brunt of the code, which I'm just about 100% sure should work correctly.

I haven't been here for a while but as a resource of excellent ideas I am back to ask something that I feel you guys would know about.I am a teacher thinking of going self employed and I want to set up an online business charging for access to resources I create myself online to any students that would be interested.I can figure out how to set up password protected areas on my website where access is given when payment is made.
Of course this is for a limited period, say a week and then the password would automatically and randomly change.
I would give the password to those that had paid for access for the agreed period for access.As I aim to have more than one person at a time, this needs to be self regulating. Is this at all possible?Online teaching resource not exactly flash related!

I seem to have hit a bug in the current flash player (tested on 10.1.52.14): If I programmatically change the color of a sprite consisting of a text and a circle the output is different if the application is in fullscreen mode (the text is not re-colored in fs). Inside the mousedown event handler of my class I call the following (somewhat simplified code to make things easier to understand here):
var cTrans:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
_hColor=0xD78500//recolor the clicked sprite cTrans.color = _hColor;
this.transform.colorTransform = cTrans;
This is what I get in windowed mode (expected behavior):
That's the same sprite in fullscreen:
I can switch between windowed and fullscreen and the text gets colored or not as shown above.

I'm using flash cs5... I've made a file uploader and it works great, only problem is it makes this textLayout_1.0.0.591.swf file (in addition to my actual swf)... is this really necessary? I have an embedded font that I think is putting this here and the whole thing doesn't work unless this swf is here.

If I'm attempting to create a file that takes information a user inputs using input fields,save them, and then load them again later after the file has been opened and an option selected, what sort of things would I need to most research? I know there's something called sharedObject I need to research. What else? I've been searching Google, but I'm not finding anything covering this particular aspect.

I'm writing a game that involves cargo, and I plan to have a large number of cargo types. Currently I have a Cargo class, and a ship carrying cargo has an array of the Cargos it is holding. I'd really rather not have each ship with a bunch of objects when all I really want to know is how much of which cargoes each ship has. Especially when these ships will be created and discarded a lot.
I'm sure the thing I'm looking for is so basic I'll look dumb for even asking, but I know there's something similar to an array that holds an object and a related value. I want to use that to reference the Cargo type from the static array, and hold the quantity.
What's it called? How would I use it (ie what are common functions used for it)? Some code snippets and terminology would be ideal.

I've previously posted for help using AC3 but now I've changed to AC2. Its regarding this duplication movieclip. What I've done is this, the side movie clip is supposed to duplicate another movieclip that can be dragged and dropped. Even after it is dropped, it is able to drag and drop again. When the user is done with it and needs to drag and drop another one, all they do is click on the template movieclip, and it should duplicate another one on the same spot of the template, allowing it to be able to drag and drop.So far, I've only been able to make it drag and drop and duplicate, but the duplication did not duplicate on the template's position. The clip that is dropped could not be moved after duplication.

I have a question regarding the photogallery tutorial on this site. Currently, all tutorials related to it (including adding of thumbnails) is written in such a manner that they assume all photos would be of equal size ie 300x200.
However, I do not have any such luxory and am stuck as I am not able to get it to work here.
The code is more or less related to the following We are doing a picture.loadMovie() to load the external jpeg.
Now, how do we make sure it's always in the center and has maxWidth as 300 and maxHeight as 200? ie, if width > 300 then width = 300 and height = proportionate to 200
and so on?
I am not able to capture the height and width of the "picture"

I'm working on OOP skills by creating a fun Mahjong game. I made a working concept (not very OOPed yet), and am trying to get everything OOPed before its too late. I want the tiles to transition in, maybe teleport in like a Star Trek movie. The tile object is a movie clip, so it can play the transition as it is added to the stage. Tiles will be added in, in increments so there's a cool wave-like effect of teleporting.
How would I know when the tiles have finished transitioning in? Would the tiles generate an events that the game object detects, starting the game after receiving X 'finished' events? Or should I create a timer in the game object where the amount of time to wait for the transition depends on the number of tiles being added to the board?
I think I'm close, but could use any general feedback on the concept. The coding is not an issue. I'm just trying to wrap my head around things.
