How would I access the first element of this array first entering the frame. I want to get buttons[0], or brandingbtn, to be activated as of right now its not working.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've got a nested array containing a series of 2 element arrays containing an object name, and text related to that object.I've set it up like this:public var names:Array = [["instance name 1", "text for first object"],["instance name 2", "text for second object"], ...]];What I'm trying to do is to have the text related to the object appear in a text box when the object is moved.This is all set up within a class containing code for the drag and drop functions.If I set the text box to show a specific element, such as:MovieClip(parent).text_box.text= names[2][1];it works fine. But I can't get it to create the value for the first bracket from the this.name attribute.I had it working for 2 arrays - one with the name and another with the text where the code was;MovieClip(parent).text_box.text= texts[names.indexOf(this.name)]; (arrays named 'names' and 'texts', text box named 'text_box')I'm hoping there's something similar that I can do for the nested array, but everything I try gives me the #1010 error - term undefined.Is there an easy way to sort this out - or am I better sticking with the 2 array version?
View 6 RepliesWhat command do I enter for the movie to rewind to first frame on entering a certain frame / stopping in a frame?It's my first time using Flash, and I'm working on a double menu (second menu has a "close" button, where I want to get back to the first menu).
View 5 Repliesis there an action script code that enables the timeline to automatically enter a frame label on entering a certain frame.
View 1 RepliesOK, I am trying to get the following functions to load and unload the video to my main timeline when I go in and out of a frame. I tried on Enter_FRAME but it is now working properly and load many instances.
What are the listeners I need to do to call the functions of oCoach when enetering a frame and fclickCV when leaving a frame?

I have a flash movie with a kind of intro to enter the website. I need a script to navigate to a new url when the animation reach the frame 500. I don't have any buttons. I am saying that cause I already know how to make it work with a button but not with a frame number. What do I need to change in the script? Here's a button script I have;
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,a);
function a(e:Event){
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.website.com");
navigateToURL(request, "_self");
}
So what should I change to make it work when it entered the frame 500 instead of when a button is clicked?

I am making my first website in flash based on frames. When you go to an other frame the Stage fades out. When you enter the frame you see nothing at all. So how can I clear the stage when entering the frame or even better it fades into the frame with clearing the objects & code of the previous frame.[code]...
View 1 Repliesis it possible to hide the cursor upon entering a frame. i know you can hide the cursor when you use a custom cursor hideCursor=true but what about like .... if you have a button and on the over state you have a movie, upon entering the movie the cursor hides?
View 2 RepliesI don't know what's going on here. I have some onRelease functions on movieclips that work fine. However one of them takes the user to a contact form in another frame but after selecting another button to go back to the first frame of the movieclip none of the functions work again.Here's a link to my swf so you can see what I mean:
http:[url].....It's kind of glitchy because it's on deviantart and I took out a lot of stuff so the .swf would be smaller.And here is the action script I'm using:
Code:
stop();
Stage.scaleMode="noScale";
Stage.align="TL";[code].....
I'm thinking because the actionscript is located in the _root of the whole .fla and all the action is happening in the img movieclip that something is off.

I have written a simple program to randomly generate the name of a student from my class. Other teachers have asked if they could have a copy but as you can see from the code, I have to manually enter their students' names into the array.I wonder if there is a way to enter a list of names into the array from an external file so that teacher's can enter their own students' names and change them when needed.
(here is the code for a button that generates the students names)
on (release) {
_root.student1_txt.text = "";
myStudents=["Chloey","Paul","Rachel","Kudzayi","Josiah","S arah C","Daniel C","Micahel","Daniel Ha","Daniel He","Amanda","Tammy","Zach","Sam","Sarah M","Xanthe","Charlotte","Bethany","Luke","Jessica"

I have a magazine of 40 frame. each frame is a different page. in one page (frame) i have imported an flv video from a url. but when i publish it and go to the next frame the video keeps playing, even if im not seeing it.
View 7 RepliesOn rollout I need the already ongoing movieclip to keep playing until hitting the wanted frame. Upon which the timeline will continue from another specific frame. And this, to prevent my animation from glitching between start, hold and finish while quickly hoovering the mouse over the whole thing.

I have been looking around but couldn't find a good tutorial or solution to my problem. I have a slideshow type application (for my portfolio website). I have 4 "slides". I wanted to use video, I added it on slide #3, and it plays fine, control buttons seem to be connected, but when I click to go to the next slide, without pausing the video, it still keeps playing..., even though there is no instance of the flv playback on that frame. If I go back to the video slide, a new video starts on the top of the old one.... On exit from the slide I would like the video to stop. And on re-entering the frame the video would just sit there, after clicking play/pause it would resume.
View 5 RepliesI have movie clip in an array (newStep) that is being added to the stage dynamically. It's randomly choosing a frame to go to every time an instance is added. There is a nested movie clip (stepLine) that i need to change the alpha of. This code actually works for adding a string to to the dynamic text box (pointsDText) but when i try to access the nested movie clip (stepLine) it gives me 1009 null object reference error. The funny thing is the code actually works and does change the alpha of the movie clip but i still get that error, and i think it's making my game more glitchy. I've tried using if(contains(steps[r].stepLine)) too but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to access this movie clip without getting the error?
if(newStep != null){
for(var r:int = 0; r<steps.length;r++){
if(steps[r].currentLabel == "points"){

View 0 RepliesI am trying to create an AS3 Fla to score a quiz's results. The quiz is a separate swf that stores its results to a shared object ("G1"), and both the quiz swf and this new scoring swf would reside on the same website.
I've tried scripting the AS3 in the new scoring Fla but I keep getting error messages.
So far, here's what I have that doesn't work.
[Code]....
The goal is to open the scoring swf, populate some variables with the values from the SO, then (not yet tried in the script) apply some if/else conditions to show specific results based on scores.
Is it possible to, if you have an array of class names like ActionScript Code: var city01names:Array = ["pic_01", "pic_02", "pic_03" ...] make a new array which would read these names, instantiate them, and push them into a new array containing the instances of all these pictures, which I could then use for a slideshow?

I have an array called dropTarg1 which stores dropped-in items.I want to loop through this array and in a textfield, display each array item on a new line of this text fieldI think I need to use something like Array.join("/n") but I can't get it working properly. I hope that the /n would create a new line of the text field called reviewBoxContentText.
for(var i:Number = 0; i<dropTarg.length; i++){
with(reviewBoxContent.reviewBoxContentText){

I have 4 buttons and an empty array. When a button is clicked,I'm adding a element to an array with array.push. However, I want to check the array 1st to see if that element exists. If so, then don't add it. Here's what I have thus far

Now I'm taking it I'd have a conditional statement to see if the element already exists. Unfortunatly I cannot just disable the button. I searched the AS dictionary but oddly enough it doesn't have an easy way to search an array. And IndexOf seems to only work for a string.
I have this array:

I want another array which takes the values of the price from the 1st Array. Can we do something like this? private var another_price_array:Array = [all_array.price]; This second array will be used to populate a ComboBox, or can I populate the combo directly from the first array itself?
i want to access an Element of an XML. But somehow. i get null as the Result and that does not make any sense to me.
View 1 RepliesWhen you do a "for... in" loop, it will iterate over a Dictionary for example. I was wondering how internally this is being tracked and how it could be accessed?
I think the Dictionary class stores a reference to the first item, but I would like to access it and check but I cannot figure out how.
i need to split a large text file into an array at line breaks so one array element = one line.i have tried the using "" in both match() and in RegExp but it doesnt work.i had the g and m flags on. tried the $ sign too.
View 8 RepliesI got this old code, that works. When I tried to compile, it gave many compile errors like
Code:
Error: access of undefined property foo
foo.core.searchButton.enabled = false;
^
for instance (changed the original for the sake of post size, it's so many errors like that with different foo's). So, I did grep the code and realized that there's no declaration of 'foo' in any of AS classes. None of foo-like vars are declared.
Then, I got the only movieclip file in src folder opened in Adobe Flash CS5 and there they are: all of those variables that hadn't declaration in code were names of button, text fields, etc in the SWF. Given that, I thought it was just some compiler argument I forgot to put, but I didn't find anywhere. I looked for alternatives but I wasn't successful neither...
I have an html page with a flash movie embded in it, that flash movie contains a button. I want to pass the id of an element on the containing html page to the flash movie so that when the button is clicked, I get the text of that element in flash (i.e. innerHTML).
So, my question is basically two questions:
How to pass something from HTML/Javascript to flash? How to access an element on the containing html page from flash? (What ActionScript code is needed to do that?)
