I would like to update this "Rollover Depth" script to work in Flash Player 7 (works in 6):url...The functionality works much better than the standard rollOver/rollOff scripts.I assume there's a problem with how the variables are declared, but haven't been able to fix it yet.[code]

I'm trying to update the Flash 5 actionscript on an old Deconcept file to at least Player 7 and AS 2.0. Here's my updated code -The snow flake movie clip:
Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
// mostly just initializing some vars[code]....
When I trace the different variables I don't see any problems but the snow just isn't visible.
I am a learning programmer who is trying to do some simple experiments. However, when I go to change my code, the exported SWF never updates; it simply tests an older version of whatever I am testing. The only way for me to fix this is by restarting Flash, which is not ideal in any way.BTW I am using Flash CS5.5, if that means anything.
View 8 RepliesI want to have my code/class library stored in an RSL (as a SWF online) which is then loaded during runtime by the host SWF. I learned about this technique from Colin Moock in his book Essential Actionscript 3.0 (Chapter 31: Distributing a Class Library).Now, I know that if you share graphics between SWFs via RSLs, you can update the graphic in the RSL and have all SWFs that access that RSL use that updated graphic.
But I want to store code in an online RSL, that is shared by multiple SWFs, and then when the code needs to be updated, I simply recompile the SWF (do I even need to worry about the SWC anymore?) containing the class library and upload and overwrite the existing RSL on the web. Voila! The code is now updated in all SWFs that share that RSL Class Library.The problem is, I can't get it to work right. CS3 and CS4 aren't updating and CS5 just crashes on export!
The code I'm testing with simply outputs some chosen text to screen.I want to change the string that's output by changing the code. Nothing fancy now, but it'll obviously be used for far more indepth stuff when (if?) I get this going properly.

I have followed the guide at this link to create a matrix code effect. The matrix code font file is available to download from this site also (mCode15). Once I get this file up and running and understand how it works, I'm going to tweak it somewhat to suit my needs.
Iam, however, experiencing some problems getting it to work as described in the tutorial. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when the flash movie file runs, only the glyph symbol that I used to create the_one and one_pod movie symbols is displayed in the code that scrolls down screen. I have embedded the font the way it describes and even added it to the library and set it to export for actionscript using the linkage option. But the matrix code that rains down is still only one symbol which never changes.

I get twelve total errors (there are six buttons with a slider next to them, and there are 2 types of errors). The first is: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton. The other is 1120: Access of undefined property _root. The key parts of the code (I think) are the button names, and slider_mc., a little black square that slides up and down the height of the menu. All of the buttons are button symbols, each with a unique name. I read that to fix the 1119 error, I can convert them to movie clips, but then they no longer function as buttons (which is sort of the point).
I try to create a dynamic web gallery in flash that feeds it's content from a XML DB, so it's easy to update and maintain the gallery (right?!). What I have, is the gallery specs in the flash movie itself:

movieW = 650;
movieH = 600;

and then the gallery process - so how can I subsitute this for a XML DB?

View 2 RepliesThis may sound simple but it's not at all from what I can tell. Hell it may be impossible but I might as well ask...Anyways, what I'm trying to ask for is a way to update the images embedded in an FLA somehow without having to manually re-import each individual file every time they get changed on the hard drive. We have a massive project with a large amount of FLA files, and having to manually re-import all of the images every time new things are committed to the repository is going to get rediculous very fast.

I am updating a movie created by a previous employer. It involves screen shots and voice overs.
There is a navigation bar at the bottom with scrubber, stop, next, etc.
I named the new screen shots the same as the old ones and imported them and everything works fine. But this doesn't seem to work with the voice overs. As soon as I save over an old mp3 with the new one, the nav bar no longer works.
Is there a way once a flash site is live, that my client can change the text or even the images? Even if it's by uploading to the server? If perhaps they were all predetermined in size ect.? Similar to how HTML calls images from a folder located on the server. I'm guessing something to do with PHP? Touching upon this briefly so understand flash uses PHP to communcate outside of the swf file to complete certain tasks.
