a simple issue I guess: in my game I've 2 functions called in callback with Drag&Drop of a coin icon; usually I call just one of the two functions, but when I stand in another part of the game I need to call the other function, using the same coin icon (it's about two different payments, in a shop and in a museum).

View 1 RepliesI'm using CS3 and want to know if it's possible to give more than 1 instance name to a single MC using AS2? The reason I ask is I have a bunch of templates that I want to load (one at a time) into a master swf that will be used for scaling & positioning of movie clips (which data will be saved to an XML file) in all the loaded swf files. I would like to have some code in the loaded clips that the master swf could use for controlling it's movie clips. This code would reassign the clips a second name so the master swf recognizes the clips in the loaded swfs and is able to manipulate them.
The problem now is I have a lot of template swf files with all different named movie clips and changing all of there instance names one by one will take a long time.I imagine that unless the clips were allowed 2 different names and were just assigned a new one, that it would stop any preexisting code from working correctly.
I had been working on an application.I have developed swf's (around 5) of all the modules of the application. Now I want to make the main SWF, that would display all the other SWF modules at a pre-decided position on the screen. put together all the SWF module onto a single SWF?
View 8 RepliesI want to use a button to stop just 1 single sound. (Ill have a background track playing, and a voice over on top, and want a button to stop just the voice.) I was able to get an mc with 2 frames inside with 2 buttons and have this code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("../sound") {
stopAllSounds();
}
}
on (release) {
nextFrame();
}
That will work but it stops all sounds. Can i stop just the "../sound" portion??
What I have done:
1/ A very simple Flash movie
2/ 5 very basic rollover buttons
What I want to happen:Everytime I'd hover the mouse on each button, I would like the background animation to run. And have the animation stop on mouseout for each button.I was able to make it on one button via this tutorial: [URL]But this doesn't seem to work with multiple buttons involved.
i have 49 different levels, each in a different movieclip.is it possible to just pre-load one of those movieclips at a time?
View 6 RepliesI'm new to flash and I'm working on an animation project for my class.I decided to do half of it as single cell animation and half of it using tweens and whatnot.The parts that are single celled are moving WAY to fast and are throwing off the flow with my tweens. It's a requirement of the project to have atleast 20 fps, and I don't have enough time to dedicate to drawing tons of more cells.For example, I have one animation made up of 40 frames and it needs to be stretched to about 100 frames.I've tried copying all of the cells into a movie clip and attaching a stop(); method at the final frame in the movie clip, then importing that into my movie and stretching it to the length i need, but it just runs at the normal animation rate and then stops until the timeline gets to where it's time for the next event or scene to take place. It sort of looks like i need to find a way to control the fps of my movie clip independently of the entire movie, but how would i go about that?how i could go about extending this?

I've been trying to simply embed a single font in my .swf webpage-- not with actionscript, just as a library symbol, using cs4-- the directions I've seen are pretty straightforward, but for some reason it's not displaying correctly on computers other than my own. I wonder if I've got the URL correct: should it just be "myFile.swf"?

View 3 RepliesI'm a newbie...it will be obvious I'm sure. This is what I'm doing.... 01. I take a PowerPoint slide show and convert it to an. emf (MetaData) PowerPoint show in power point. ( an aside...I have used enhance MetaData and regular MetaData and haven't noticed any difference. No biggie I guess)
02. I then load the Flash CS4 stage with the .emf PowerPoint slide show.
03. Do some clean-up.
04 I then must save individual .swf files of the timeline. ( I notice there doesn't seem to be a key board stroke for Export Image... that seems weird)
05. I do all the mouse clicks and save the .swf's in a folder. For 80 or more slide per show this is very tedious I must say. Clicking, numbering, saving, advanceing, clicking, numbering saving...etc. I typically end up with a folder with ...Slide_01, Slide_02, Slide_03 etc. which is what I want.
What is the best way to automate this process? I'm not a programmer, but is a Macro program what I need. Or is there a way in Flash to simplify this process ..of course I'm not a programmer.

View 3 RepliesI've done a lot of searching on loading just a single image using XML and am coming up empty handed. Lots of bits and pieces that don't work together, and LOTS of stuff on making slide shows, arrays, and galleries. Can someone give me the AS3 code of just loading a single image from an XML file. I'm not even sure if I need to have a movieclip already placed on the stage. If not, how is it generated and positioned on the stage?

I haven't really used flash since flash 8 pro, and I'm currently using flash CS4 for an assignment.
Motion tweens have changed for the confusing, and I can't figure out how to remove a motion tween property keyframe without removing ALL motion tween property keyframes.
is there any way to MOVE them without destroying your entire animation?
I have an array that I need to add single characters to slowly.So the array is wordToCheck and I have some "drop places" to check and see if a letter has been "dropped off." Each drop point is assigned an index and I just want to add the letter to the proper index of the array so that I can push it into a string.This is my code:
wordToCheck[currentBlank.register] = currentLetter.letter.toLowerCase();
So you can see that if "A" was dropped at the blank spot with the register 2 it would return "- - A".The problem is that it's deleting it every time I add a letter. So if I put "A" in register 2 and then "M" in register 3 it returns "- - - M". How do I get it to not override itself each time?
