I am SUPER confused on how to make use of the cue point that I embedded in my FLV.It is called "END", is at time 00:00:46.114 and is Event type.How do I go about calling an action, say loader.loadMovie("info.swf), when the movie reaches that point?
View 5 RepliesI have been tasked with trying to create a drawing tool that draws dotted lines as you drag the mouse across the stage. I can easily capture the points on MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE and store them in a vector and then draw the points as dots:
The problem is that I need to calculate evenly distributed points on an ever growing Vector of points so I can only draw the line between say every 5th point (say using modulus). I have been battling away with Bezier curve equations both Quadratic and Cubic but still can't quite figure out how to convert my Vector of points into an evenly distributed Vector of Points without sucking the life from the CPU.
I am trying to create a mindmap where the user can drag points about the screen. I have gotten as far as drawing the line via actionscript, and drag+drop the points (defined as movie clips on stage). This is the existing script - I don't know how to get the lines to follow the points. Something to do with ENTER_FRAME or updateAfterEvent?
var line:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
line.graphics.lineStyle(1,1);
line.graphics.moveTo(ptOne.x,ptOne.y);

I am following a good tutorial here:URl...And it uses the following example file to display an embedded FLV movie:URL...I am having a problem editing the cue points. If I open the compenent inspector for the FLVPlayback, and then open the cuePoints dialog, I should be able to add, remove, or modify cue points. However, I can't edit anything in the dialog at all. It seems locked.The tutorial clearly states you should be able to edit the points.
View 1 Replies[URL]In the tutorial, it says I should be able to edit cue points for the FLV video. I open the component inspector and the cuePoints dialog. All the cue points are listed, but it won't let me edit them. They seem ti be locked. I need to be able to edit cuepoints within flash for a linked flv file.

View 12 RepliesI have added an flv-playback instance to the stage in Flash CS4. The flv has some cuepoints named "01" - "10". The cue-points were set in AfterEffects CS4. There's some event- and some navigation-type cuepoints. I now attempted the simple task of getting a specific cuepoints' time using actionScript. Easy enough one should think, but apparently it isn't.[code]...
View 6 RepliesI am using Flash CS3 and AS2 on a PC. I am making a CD in Flash, for a client. The CD has videos, images and text. What I need is be able to go to the next scene once an FLV has finished playing. Also if a new FLV can be loaded once the curent ends. The FLV is in the FLVPlayback component. I need to add Cue Points which I can use to navigate with. The client would prefer a minimum of buttons, and thus auto navigation once a point is reached.I would prefer to avoid the need for me to use third party software or add-ons unless absolutely necessary.

View 18 RepliesI can bring the two selected cards (out of 28 in a grid). Is there a way to get any two cards in the grid to line up inthe center? I'm thinking of having two invisible mcs and have one align to one and one to the other. I want to make sure they don't overlap (hence why the mc idea). trying to accomplish this without going crazy as its just aligning two things.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have a component (link to Test class) which contain one line in it, and I put one point of this line to (0, 0).
Then drag it to Flash(fla), and get its Shape in AS3 like:
// in Test.as
// assume that the movie clip only contain one line.
var line:Shape = Shape(getChildAt(0));
And I can get one point of this line which is x and y of var line. But how to get another point of this line?
Edit:
Ignore component stuff above, here has another question but I guess it pretty much the same as the question above:
Draw a line from (0, 0) to (10, 10) and draw another line from (10, 0) to (0, 10), how to get those lines of two-point form in AS3?
If I access them as Shape then I get two similar shapes which have same x, y, width and height values. Does AS3 has some way to access line as a REAL line not just a shape? or does it has any way I can calculate it out?
I have found many posts on how to draw shapes using the drawing API. However, I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to get the coordinates of points along an exisiting path on the stage and then tween these points to new random coordinates (distort the path).

What I want is for a video to load and then four photos to load in over the top with linked text below each photo. This would then move onto the next piece of xml and load the next video, new photos and accompanying text. I have tried to simply duplicate some of the attributes that are already there but for some reason the xml is not loading into my created holders. Plus because of the way it is loading only the video changes and not the photos and text.

How do you get all the points that are on a circle?
I've already tried a for loop using the equation x^2 + y^2 = r^2 but so far it doesn't seem to be working...
I'd like to find out how because I want to place MCs dynamically on a random point that is outside a certain mc.
I have to make constraints and it works but for now it draws a line between the two points but i want a movieclip between those points. But how do i do that?

That action will also do the loadMovie, so I know the loadMovie part works. But since there are 2 cue points the loadMovie fires with each cue point... not what I had in mind.

I was wondering whether you could help me with a small problem that I am having with my first Flash animation.
I'm using CS4, and when I export the SWF and view it in Firefox, it skips/lags at certain points in the animation (specifically during some of the fast, "zooming out" text tweens - you'll see what I'm talking about if you watch it below). The odd thing is that it appears to work just fine in IE. The animation isn't that complicated, but it does have a fair amount of text tweens./[URL]..
