I want to have a text field that, if a certain letter is typed in it, shows (visible = true) a certain movieclip. I need to cause 26 separate movie clips, (or one movieclip with 26 frames, one per letter), to respond to each letter of the alphabet when letters typed in the text field.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a simple script in AS2 that can reveal and un-reveal some text upon clicking (and any additional graphic), preferably with a simple transition (likely a tween). How would I go about achieving this?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to hide all unwanted movieclips and reveal only those you need? From my understanding, if i do not want a particular movieclip on the stage, i will use scene1.visible = false; but it becomes very complicated when i have different scenes appears at one time, so i need to

I am trying to create a simple login page but coming across a number of problems. Firstly I have a text field - in the properties section it is classic text and Input text. However when I runt the flash file. I am not able to input anything in the text input, Why?
I should mention I am using CS5 - I get a silly runtime warning: Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.
This cropped screenshot shows what my Actionscript window looks like. Letters are running together and are hard to read. I'm running CS4 on a MacBook.
View 1 RepliesThe last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit. I remember I used SWISH Lite to create a typing effect (as a blinking cursor is typing a line of text one by one) and later i just could take this generator animation of my text and add it to my Macromedia Flash.I have installed the new SwishMax Trial, but I really don't recognize where I have to go in order to get this text effect generator running.
View 14 RepliesI'm wondering if there is a way I can see if a user is typing into a input field.
Like if they are typing into the field a variable = 1
And if they are not or the field is empty it is = 0
is it possible for a user to enter a frame, be able to type their name into an InputText field, and then drag it around the screen?
View 5 Replies my text was working fine before, but for some reason now it's displaying weird characters. For example the accented vowels in spanish firefox will let me type but google chrome won't. It's like all my keys are mismatched or something.When I try to type Thai, musical notes were showing up in it's place! But it's only for this one swf. I created a brand new swf with an input box and typed thai/spanish and it worked fine, it's only for this already existing file. I have no idea where I can even look to solve such a problem. Is it a publishing setting? Could it be the flash settings in the html?
Where do I look that would effect the keyboards input like this? It worked fine before and I haven't been playing with the text at all. I recently added external interface then commented it out and still doesn't work. The font is _sans which usually displays every language fine.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to learn about Custom Components at the moment. As a task I'm hoping to create a component that I can drop on my stage beside a couple of movieclips.

View 2 RepliesI created a flash movie which resembles a control panel. I created a image of the group of people that worked on the project and I want the image to be hidden until the user types a key combination that would trigger the image to appear and dissapear when clicked. This url is something like what I was looking for,but I want an image to appear instead, can this be customized? The only problem is, I'm not really good at actionscript. Is there any tutorials out there that may show an easy way to do this. The attached file is a sample of my interface
View 1 Repliesget the zip file which will be very helpfull. I made some screenshots in photoshop for help.
1). map jpg: That's the map
2). the map is covered with a black layer
3).the user changes (somehow) the _alpha property (before starting revealing the image) to -let's say- 60% and reveals with the eraser the path of the map up to some point.
4).the user sets the _alpha of the cover back to 100% in order to get the picture shown in the example.
I have a button that when hovered over scrolls out to reveal the page. I then want it so that when someone rolls out from the button, it then scrolls back in to how it started. This seems to work ok, with just one small problem, the page doesn't necessarily always stay scrolled out, even if you don't move the cursor away from the hit area of the button. I have a flash file which contains a simplified version of the button as I would to achieve it working, and then on a separate layer my faulty button. Its too big to attach, but if anyone can help i would gladly email the file

View 2 RepliesThe tutorial I am working on is at: [URL]. I have no problem with the fade grid effect itself but... I'm trying to make one of the squares (which is a guy in the middle of a scenic landscape) visible first giving the effect that you can only see him first, then the grid squares fade in to reveal the landscape that he is standing in.
So I tried just cropping the square out in photoshop, then just placing it in the exact same spot above the original image, but everytime the movie gets to the portion in the timeline with the actionscript, the little square with the man in it disappears. I want the square with the man in it, to remain on the stage from beginning to end, as top layer.
Code:
for (i=0; i<200; i++) {
circle.duplicateMovieClip("circle"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
randX = Math.floor(random(Stage.width));
randY = Math.floor(random(Stage.height));
this.banner.setMask(this["circle"+i]);
this["circle"+i]._x = randX;
this["circle"+i]._y = randY;
}
Circle is a movieclip that has a circle starting at 2px by 2px and expands to 100 by 100. Banner is just a movieclip, but I would like these expanding circles to act as a mask to reveal the banner. This should work, but isn't, I know I am overlooking something.
This has been bugging me for a little, and some of the examples I have tried to find throw me in loops and they have been wrong. [url]...
Or if you have ever played "Scorched Earth" you will see that when some part of the terrain is destroyed, it punches out the pixels perfectly when a shot is fired into the ground, to reveal the picture behind the main picture with the terrain.
Is there a way where in if I click outside the textbox the blinking cursor will go away? so users have to click on the box before typing. then click away to and the blinking will be gone.

View 10 RepliesI have plenty of ways of creating falling snow like effects, but a client has just comitted me to an effect as a test of my ability without talking to me first, that I am a little stumped by. use AS2 or AS3 for this project because of the filters and tween effects available to me.I need to have a top down falling snow effect (its actually supposed to be flour falling from a sieve but hey...). All the snow effects I know, fall down sideways on, from top to bottom, and then they disappear off the page (the flakes).I need the particles (movieclips) to fall downwards from a birds eye view, and 90% of them to disappear, but the remaining 10% to gradually (over about 5 seconds) build up a white logo (shape) in the middle of the screen.So I am guessing that I am going to have to be clever with dynamic masks to get the shape appearing a little bit at a time, and then I also need some random motion, and scaling as the particles fall downwards (and away) from the eye.
