ActionScript 2.0 :: TextFormatting Disappears When Going Backwards In Timeline?
Aug 14, 2008
I've got a strange glitch goign on in one of my flash files. I load a set of menu items from xml and format their text using TextFormat at the time of loading. This works great until I start jumping around in the timeline. Working forwards in time it maintains its formatting, but if I jump backwards at all, it loses its alignment and defaults to Left Side.
//create the function that will load the xml info into the dynamic menu text
function CreateMenu(side_xml){
//makes the xml file easier to navigate
[Code].....

Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.

I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but could you use an AS to play the timeline backwards? Or play a MC backwards?

I had the idea of a circular menu, and when the user clicks on a menu item, that one rotates to the top, and becomes highlighted (hopefully with easing). I've searched around here for reversing timelines, etc. but can only find ones that go to the next set frame.How do I get it to skip past the menu items in between? For example if #1 is at the top and I click on #4, I want it to skip past #2 and #3.

I am looking to explode an image backwards. Example, I have an image and at frame 1, Alpha is zero. At frame 20, the image is at Alpha 100%. From frame zero to 20, I want to have an exploded view come together by the time it reaches frame 20. I am reading this on web, and I don't have the 'Insert - timeline effects - explode' on my file menu. Is this a plugin that I have to install? This is the site I am reading. [URL]

I am trying to tell flash from within a movieclip to start playing a specific frame within the main timeline only after it has finished playing the movieclip backwards. I can get the movieclip to play backwards fine but it's getting the main timeline to start from frame 1 which doesn't work. I have the following code on the first frame of the movieclip (which is called video) but it doesn't seem to do anything.[code]

Okay, so I have used this many times before but I cannot figure out how to fix this. This is what happened. after i open up any type of document like an actionscript 3.0 document or anything, if i draw with the paint brush as soon as i let go of the mouse button the line disappears. If i go into the timeline and click on the frame it shows up again, but if i draw again it disappears and i have to click on the frame to see it.

I've been developing a piece of code that looks for keywords inbetween tags, and then stores these into an array (hlword) I am now trying to get it so that when it finds these words, it makes the word bold and changes the colour.

The code in orange is what I have been working on in an attempt for it to change the Textformat - Is this going a long the right lines?

When I click on a field to edit, the | symbol that allows you to type new text (for example, a timeline folder's name) disappears as quickly as it appears, therefore no way to edit anything.

I've used this code to go from one frame to the next
function backframe(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.prevFrame()
[code]....
Now it works fine until I get to the last frame. Once I get to the last frame then click to go back, it won't let me go forward until I go all the way back to frame 1.

I have a cool idea for an animation, but need it to play backwards at the end of it's timeline...how hard would this be to do?So, in essense it would play frames 1,2,3,4,5 then immediately 4,3,2,1 and then 2,3,4 and so on...

Heres the code for my car to accelerate but how do I make one for reverse when the down key is pressed? I've tried all sorts but it is just not working properly.
ActionScript Code:
//When up key is pressed...
if (keyUpPressed) {
car.y -= ((90-carRotation)/90)*increment;
if (((car.rotation > 90)&&(car.rotation < 180))||((car.rotation < -90)&&(car.rotation > -180))) {
car.x += posNeg * (((((1-(carRotation/360))*360)-180)/90)*increment);

Hello,
I'm trying to create an icons that move fliudly backwards and fowards across a screen and I would like motion forwards and backwards. play(); works great for going forward until stop(); is there a way to do that going backwards on the timeline instead?
P.S. using prevFrame(); is jumpy and doesn't actually "play" each frame. Multiple calls simply make the movie jump to however many previous frames you called at once in your loop so you don't see any motion inbetween.

Problem: I have an flv I would like to play backwards.
Attempt: I have used the code below to play an MC backwards as well as forwards with success in the past. Now I have an flv which I must play backwards and I thought embedding it entirely in an MC would be fine. The code works, but when ti performs the backwards portion, well, it runs very slowly.
Question: Is there a way to play the embedded flv backwards at full speed using the method I tried or do I have to load the flv into the swf at runtime?
if I have to load the flv into the swf at runtime to play it backwards
var rewindMe:Boolean=false;

I've made this as a "prototype", getting used to how the game will move and such, and I've got it moving as I want it, but I can't make it move backwards when I press the back button The whole thing is inside a movie clip, I just want it to play backwards when I press the back button

I'm loading my MC from XML backwards, and its separated by 10 per pages. When it's loaded to the stage it could not be arrange accordingly to grids. And when I click at other pages to let it run another 10 before the previous loaded XML object, it does not add in to the Array(I've clear off the array before reload the XML)[code]my guess on the problem might be the 2 loop which 1 is using ++ and the other -- ?

I have an application where a user uploads an image and then transforms it by clicking, dragging and using a resize bar. But my client has asked me to limit where the user can drag to, this is not a problem except I need the limits the opposite way around to what would be considered normal.
So where I have startDrag(false, new Rectangle...) that works just fine, but what I need is to let the user be able to drag outside of the boundaries and not have white space on the inside of the flash file.What I mean by this is say I have a 500px wide flash file and an image inside it which I'm carelessly dragging around. If the images right hand edge (if I drag left) hits 500px it stops dragging and does not allow them to pull it any further left.Below is the code I currently have for the drag events.
public function startImageDrag (e:MouseEvent):void {
mousePos['x'] = e.target.mouseX;
mousePos['y'] = e.target.mouseY;[code].....

Trying to get an animation to play backwards while a button is held down, which works fine, however when it gets to the first frame it just stops and won't loop back around to the last frame of the animation- how might one accomplish this? It seems like I need to break the event for a frame somehow and then start listening again...
backward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, setDownTrue);
backward_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, setDownFalse);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkDown);
var isDown:Boolean = false;

I'm now using for..in and for each..in almost exclusively with looping Objects. I love it. But how can I loop an Object backwards?
i.e. - with an array I might do something like this:
for (var i:uint = arr.length; i-- > 0; ) {
Queston #2 - I've found the ordering of for...in to be quite predictable but am seeing some blog posting that say otherwise (thats AS2 was extremely predictable but AS3 is not). Which is it?

I hope someone will know a solution to this problem: I have a movieclip with a tween in it, which moves a object up and down.
I have 2 buttons on my _root: One which had to move the object up till the end of the movieclip when pressed so it will stop after reaching the end of the tween. Or it stops playing when the button is released.
Another one doing exact the oposite, it moves the object down when pressed. And should stop at the beginning of the tween. This button also has to stop when the button is released. The button playing the movieclip backwards doesn't work as it should be. It doesn't reverse the movieclip, it just jumps to a previous frame.

I remember reading one time that you can play frames backwards. I have this ball going along this line, and when it reaches the end I want it to go back exactly the same. Isnt there some kinda code to play the frames backwards? Also, the line is curved, so I cant just move it straight across real easy like. I had to do a lot of tweening.
