Im a 100% beginner in actionscript so heres my question, as dumb as it may sound.
I want a shape to travel from px 0 on the x-axis to px 740.
The startposition on the y-axis needs to be random, and between 140 and 180.
I have tried the following code:
startY = Math.round(Math.random()*(180-140)+140);
startX = 0;
targetX = 740;

I have a image slideshow set up on a time line. Each image is on a different layer and I am looking for a code to make the flash animation start at a random key frame every time the page is loaded. Here is a link to the site I am working on:

View 1 Replieshow to make an actionscript to move punto_mc from current position to random position after release, and then from this new position to mevo to another randon position after release?
View 2 RepliesWhat I want is for my mc to slide to a new random x position when it is less than 5 pixels away from its target, it keeps doing this. the problem is for some bloody &*�$(()** reason my random numbers only keep going up!! why is this?? i want to produce random numbers between 1 and 770 - this is my code..

I've run into a new problem, this time with positioning. I've narrowed down the line that's causing it--"block.y = block.y + block.height;" in SetOfBlocks.shiftDown. When I take it out, no problem. But with it in, instead of just dropping each block down by a block height, the affected blocks sometimes move up, and also often move about randomly within the X axis--although their new positions always keep them lined up with the 'grid', which is to say, within multiples of the block height and widths.

A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
bg music[code].....
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.
I have a problem animating the preloader of the site I've been working on. I want a movie clip (a dark grey rectangle) to start at width = 0 and then extend to the width of the stage. But it just doesn't move, it preloads perfectly but doesn't really extend with the progress event.
Here's the code:
loadBar_mc.width = 0
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("Bnaider.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void {

I have a grid of letters. I want to create the else aspect, where if you don't drop the letter on any square, it'll return to its original position. Issue is I don't declare it's original position, i simply use placement on stage.
View 1 Replies- how can I start the player from the position "pause" (so without playing a song when I open the flash) (and so with the button in position "play")
- I would like to add the button "previous track".. what code I need to create into the "mp3player.as"? (I think the button is the same of next but with "negative image" and with different names..)
- for a button like "stop" what I have to do? (a button with a simple action like: stop(); or stopAllSounds(); ?) (I've tried but without success...)

I'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.

I'm trying to make a movieclip rotate around it's center (this is no problem since the center will never change). The problem that I am having is when I press the movieclip, in let's say the bottomright corner, and move the mouse the movieclip flips to a certain angle depending on my mouseposition. After the weird flip it works fine but it's the initial mouse click that makes the movieclip flip to an angle.I've tried playing around with different values to substract or add the starting angle but eveytime the result is not what i am looking for.Current code:
Code: Select all
package
{
[code].....
I have this script, that zooms and fades the movieclip but I also need to shift the position slightly from the start state to the end state. For example var startX = 60 var endX = 70 so when the zoom start it starts at x = 60 and slowly moves as it zooms out to x = 70.

i need to find a way to pause and start again from that same position the 'infinite menu' found here on kirupa URL...A friend of mine attempted to help me, and gave me some code to fiddle with. I did fiddle with it, but problem was, the code was for Flash MX 2004. So it didnt work on my MX. Here is the existing code i have, but doesn't function (i.e. works fine when control>Test Movie, but doesnt work when actual .swf from folder is opened)[code]
View 10 RepliesI have one movie clip that when clicked on moves to the left of the screen, after it gets there I want another and exteral swf to load. But I dont know how to get the external clip to load after the movie clip gets to the left side of the screen....Here is what I got so far..
square_mc.onRelease = function()
{ square_mc._x = 30;
square_mc._y = 180;

when square_mc get to the Y position of 180, run the external clip.
I'm trying to make some manual transitions. Because I don't know AS3, and I'm building this from the help of Google, I've started with a simple "blind" transition just to figure out the works.
The issue is that when I expand the width, it seems as though all my AS3 created sprites seem to reset their x position, and sit on the left. That or 15 of the tweens aren't working.
Here's the code:
ActionScript Code:
function vBlinds(){
var tweens:Array=new Array(16);

I've got a problem with an if/else statement within a function which checks to see which 'drop area' one of ten items should to snap to.. the problem is I can only set the start location of each item to work on the first hitTest, otherwise after clicking another item or positioning any item in one of the drop areas, the drop area becomes it's start location due to startDrag() and stopDrag() been called again to move the object..
What I've tried to do here is to create a variable (which does trace the correct (currentTargetHome) movieclip reference, but as a string) but it doesn't work when I try to access it's attributes using [currentTargetHome]. The item exists within the movieclip "gamePage" and the rest of the function works !

I just followed this tutorial and I did get how it all worked.. and i got my movie clip flying arround the stage. Then when i tried to apply it to a little project i'm working on, i couldn't get it working. I have a movie clip called mc_main and when i click a button I want it to move - using easing - to a new position on the stage. In the first frame of my timeline i have put this AS:
[Code]....
I'm trying to have a movie clip with 4 buttons that moves to the four corners of the stage.Depending on which button is clicked, the movie clip goes to that corner.he trouble I'm running into is determining the variable start points. If the end goal is the lower right corner, it needs to be able to move there from the upper left, the lower left and the upper right. So I need to set the starting position as a variable I assume, but can't get it working.
View 2 RepliesI made flash player and i used that tutorial: HERE. Everything is good, but when one song is ending, next song's start is delay about 1-2 sec. You can say that is nothing in flash mp3 player, but if each other song is one short speaker sentence(there are about 10 one by one) it may be nervous. how to delete that delay? I don't need to have xml playlist. Just i want to start one by one(all playlist is about 300-400 loop/songs/mp3 files) without delay.
Now I think there is no way to delete that delay(how i can do it), but i have another idea. I will make one big file from 10 or 20 of that smaller, but i need to have in my player one thing more. When user will press start button, song won't start at 00:00/xx:xx but in random place. You know what i mean ? It will not start at start but somewhere else, in random place(maybe 00:21/xx:xx or 02:47/xx:xx or 01:02/xx:xx).

I want to use the same flash file on multiple pages on my website, but on some pages, I don't want the first two scenes to play-- they are introductions & a preloader, and I figure this would be smart to use the same file if the logo is already in the viewer's cache. I have my animation set to gotoAndplay a frame after the introduction, so I want to start it after the intro on other pages.How do I embed an animation to start at a different frame than Frame 1?

View 2 RepliesOne slide of a slideshow I'm making I want the animation to end after it's completed without looping. I can do this by adding the stop(); command into the last frame of that slide, but if I return to that slide, it will remain in the end position instead of replaying.
View 4 RepliesI am looking for real simple scripting - I have a 15-25 frame flash tweened animation and all I would like to do is run thru the animation once then on mouse click go to frame one and start again. And of course I am under a time crunch and completely fogged with actionscript 3.0. I did some basic projects back in the director days and thought I could just pick up where I left off. If I remember right it was simple scripting like
gotoFrame
and
pause
etc...
