ActionScript 2.0 :: XML & Flash, Getting Stuff To Fit In A Movieclip?
Sep 11, 2008
I'm sure it's been discused before ..but I can't seem to be able to find it in the masses of photo gallery questions..So here it is;I want to load pictures/swf's etc into flash ..no problem.However, i want them to resize (proportionally) so they fit inside the movieclip holder.I'm ok with a solution where you have to state the size in XML, aslong as they fit in the movie clip.Code:
Code:
delay = 10000;
function loadXML(loaded) {
[code]....

So what I'm looking to do now is to actually get that movie clip - in this case an arrow -to rotate around another object - a ship - at a radius of 150 pixels and facing the mouse.This basically means to get the arrow to follow where the mouse goes around the ship - limited by the 150 pixel radius circle it can follow.p.s. This is the code so far:
ActionScript Code:
theArrow.x = theShip.x
theArrow.y = theShip.y

What I've done is I have an existing fla file I'm using on line, which I want to use a document class, something I've never done. The as file I have (using Alternativa 3D 7.8) extends movieclip - here's the basic structure:
package {
import alternativa.engine3d.containers.ConflictContainer;
import alternativa.engine3d.core.Camera3D;
import alternativa.engine3d.core.View; etc.
public class test5 extends MovieClip {
private var container:ConflictContainer;
private var cam:Camera3D; etc.
public function test5() {
// constructor code
}}}
The thing is, it works fine when I use a blank fla (class named test5) but when I apply it to my existing fla - which uses a a mile of actionscript - all of my dynamic images dissappear and I'm left with the image from my as file (test5).

I know how to do stuff in flash. Ok, so here's what I want to know..on this guessing game, I want the person to enter in their 1 - 3 digit guess, the the number they need to guess is 577 (later I want to make this random whenever they go to play it). If they guess under 577, I have a box to say their guess is too low. If they guess over 577, it says their guess is too high. However, I am not sure how to make it so that what they put in the text box, it takes it as the new variable. I know this may sound confusing, but here is the .fla file.URL...

I'm writing a Flash game for a class that is supposed to test elementary kids' math skills. After each activity is completed, Flash sends the results to our database (e.g., that 8/10 math problems were answered correctly). If the user is in the middle of an activity and hits our Logout button, we'll send what results they had to the database anyway. But if the user closes out of the browser in the middle of an activity, is there a way to quickly send stuff to the database before the swf dies?

how to code where it should move towards (that's easy), and I know somewhat how to use math stuff on flash. But when I tried to implement it on this, it doesn't work. See code:
angleA = Math.atan2(TARGET._y-HERO._y, TARGET._x-HERO._x);
var degrees = angleA/(Math.PI/360);
BULLET._rotation = degrees;
It is correctly placed, don't worry about that.

I am fairly new to Flash and I am creating a simple Flash login programme in Flash. If I type in the correct password or even if I type in the wrong password it always goes to frame 3 which is "Login Failed! Username or password was wrong". I have attached .fla file. Note I created in Macromedia Flash 8.

how to pre-load the stuff flash loads from xml -.- (actually the thumbnails, that need to be ready at cache for the roll-over effects). After looking a few tutorials and scrpts i have found in the i came to some conclusions but, fortunately, what i found checks the loading process for the individual items, while i need to get the sizes all together to add them in the loader.... I'm pretty clueless right now how to do that.
What i think i need is to create an array for the thumb attribute of my xml's nodes, and find a way to process the size of that all together using something like a shift + a variable for total size.... but well... i right now only think " i need to do that" but i have no clue of how =.=.

i have a database with two tables. one table holds the following:[code]i have a php script that goes as follows (i'm ignoring the description fields for now):[code]now i'm not 100% sure this script is correct, so if anyone sees problems in it, please do let me know. i know that it needs some additions to pull the linking table (status) to display the status_id, but i have no clue how to write that as im not familiar with php, i just took this script from a user on this forum (i apologize for forgetting your name) and edited it.
anyway, i want to be able to pull out all those fields and load them up in flash so i can use them in the scripts over there.i have a grasp on the LoadVars(); a bit but not sure how to pull all this out and if its correct so that i can use it in flash. the fields im most worried about using is the number field in the lots table and the status_id (in both i guess since its a linking table).

I have a picture that I want to be my background. So I put it around the stage, but when I test my movie in a web browser, only my stage shows. Is there a way I can get it to all show? I don't really care if my background is cut off, as long as you can see it, because it's a tile sort of picture.

I'm a total noob to Flash, and I'm learning it because I want to make a website design that looks like this.
That's coming from a separate external .fla file not inside my Gaia project. I currently have a Gaia 3.2.6/FP10/AS3 project with Timeline animation that I just made up today.The problem is that when I copy and paste those graphic symbols (not the background), into the 1st frame of my home.swf of my Gaia project, the preloader freezes at 50% on the home page.
When I remove the forms from my seperate external .fla file, then copy and paste them into the 1st frame of my Gaia project, the preloader freezes at 100%.When I draw a square onto the first frame of home.swf, the page loads normally.

Im trying to learn Adobe Flash and making some stuff and that export it to my iPad. It doesnt have to be Shared Object, just read on internet that it could be used. But i dont know.
I need a save and load function. Im gonna explain why and how. Im making a test game. When the player finish a level another level on the "Level select" screen should be unlock.
So, when player open my game first time. Level 2 is locked. When he finish Level 1 he can play Level 2.I got some help with this and got it to work like this:
[Code]...
That means if Player hits goal he get send back to frame 2 and "level2played" gets true and he can click and play level2. But this doesnt ofcourse get saved when the app get closed. So i kinda need it to be saved. So if Player hits goal in level 1, this "level2played=true;" gets saved.

I have a one-frame .fla with script on one layer and a movie clip on another. The movie clip has an instance name of "titleBar," which moves from left to right using dynamic tweening.The tween code moves it from an X position of 200 to a X position of 820.Then I have a function called "xChange," which waits for titleBar's X value to be 820. Once it does, I'd eventually want to load an external swf but I'm just running a trace for now.Again, Here's the code.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I've generated sample xml file:[code]This works ok. What the code is doing - its assigning each node of the xml file to one of the boxes in the fla file.My question is if we can assign to each of the node one box dynamicly? So bassicaly if i will have 5 nodes the code will -draw???- a box and putted the name of the node in the box.And so on, for each of the nodes? And if i will have 6 nodes, then it will draw 6 boxes and so on..

I have a specific request or a general pondering really.I know you can create a sine wave type thing with as, could you then perhaps create movie clips, letter by letter that would move along and up and down on this sine wave?could you then, instead of setting the size and scale of the sine wave have it react to the input levels of a mic.i've been hunting for something that will help for a while and have drawn a blank

I have a free text which allows the user to enter stuff. But that text box needs to be a 24bit hex string ONLY.How do I restrict this so that it only allows 24bit hex strings.
Code:
000000
.
.
FFFFFF
I've thought about creating a regular expression to parse the whole string then return a message. But what would be even better is if the thing worked at run time so that the user can never enter an invalid string.
