how do create a random looking grid with more than just one square 'running'? in the script at hand, the square starts at one edge of the stage and works its way through to the opposite edge. it would be great if anybody knows how to make it look more randomly.

View 5 RepliesHow would use the fading grid tutorial at the begining of a movie (all placed in frame 1) then once the picture (in this case the background of the movie) is complete to goAndPlay frame 2 ?
View 9 RepliesI'm working on a website that is going to have images fading in and out of eachother. Instead of a plain fade, I would like to use the fade grid that I found on this site. I have it working with 1 image, but can't get it to work with more. I'm not great with action scripts and there is only 1 frame in the timeline so I can't put a go to action at the end of the animation. I tried adding a second scene but then it just gave me a white screen when I tested the movie.I would like to have 6 images fading with the grid. How to get it to work? Using Flash MX. Actionscript is here: [URl].

I followed this tutorial and I couldn't manage to get it to function. I'm new to flash and I'm thinking the reason it didn't work is because I used a different ActionScript method. I used AS3, is there another type I should be using? Or is the coding different from the version used in the tutorial to CS4?

trying to figure out how Voetsjoeba created his signature. I realize it has something to do with the position of the mc, but i don't understand the rest.
View 14 RepliesI want to know, how is the button in Voetsjoeba's sig created? I want to be able to do the same thing, except just turn an animation in the background on and off, that's it! how would i go about it, perhaps voetsjoeba can answer too?
View 10 Repliesi followed the tutorial by Voetsjoeba about Transitions between external swfs. i applied it to my own .fla and am having fair success. the problem i'm having is that the buttons work and transition correctly, but every button reloads the same external .swf. i can't find whats keeping each button from loading its external file. if i switch the external file that loads first. then all buttons load that clip.
my main stage has an embedded movie clip called mc_opening. the container is on frame 25 until the end. an animation runs until frame 64 where this code is placed.

I can't work out why - but when I try to fade out some text (by calling fadeoutSecondText), the text fades out, and then immediately fades back in. Fading in and out struggle against each other, resulting in rapidly flashing text!

I'm currently working with the OLAPDataGrid component and got stuck at a relatively simple task: I want to style the last row of the grid differently from the rest, so my cell item renderer needs to know whether he's rendering the last row with content in the overall grid, including those rows currently not rendered because they are outside the visible grid space. AdvancedGridListData's rowIndex property only gets me the row index of the renderer relative to the range of visible grid rows, i.e. when I scroll down the grid, a data item with an index greater than 0 gets the rpw index = 0.
View 2 RepliesI need to create a simple multiplication grid where children will fill the grid. Its an empty grid at the begining, when they start the time start as well.Its a grid of 10 x 10. when they enter the last number, the grid should show what they did wrong and the time they spend. It's an idea of how it could work but if anyone has something that looks like this.
View 6 RepliesI want to make a square grid of fixed side length but varying grid number using code.That is, the number of grids should be specified by the user (say 3*3) and after pressing a button, the stage should be broken into 3*3 grids.I don't want any code, just a method on how to do it. I have tried it by using simple loops but the method just fails for no reason I can figure.

I really like the thumbnail gallery for its simplicity and beauty. But I would like to ad or vertical scroller (I'm unable to find it here too, maybe I'm blind, just I'm more at the end of my seeking options) or a make a grid thumbnails, that will show 2 columns of thumbs and 5 pictures in each columns, then under the 2 columns i would like to ad a sort of arrow or button that if my gallery have more then 10 pictures it will go on the next thumbnail list. I'm not looking for any extra fading effects or special movements. Just would love to have a single thumbnail grid on side, with option to have lists of thumbnails by 10 if there is more then 10 pictures or so.

I'm trying to code the snap to grid functionality. The dragged object should snap to the grid if the distance between the object bounds and a grid line is less than 5px. I found a way to do it if the object's rotation is 0 but it doesn't work if I rotate the object. I need a different approach. Can you point me into the right direction with the algorythm or any source code?

so I have this scene in Flash where a song plays. However, once everything is done on the scene, the screen fades and it goes to the next one. I put a layer in the next one that stops the music, but it just suddenly stops without fade. Also it doesn't matter if I select FadeOut because it will still suddenly stop. If I put Event instead of Stop, the song just keeps playing.
