found nice dynamic mouse traile which i'd like to use on my flash banner. I can get rid of mouse actions but how do make random sparkles move from left side of banner to the right side? Here is mouse trailer code:
//import bitmap class
import flash.display.BitmapData;
//Settings
[Code].....
Recently I was using the mouse trailer script on the site but cannot figure out how to change the color of the text from black to white. I tried putting in letterformat.color = "FFFFFF"; but it didn't work.
Here is the script for the mouse trailer.
Text = "Kirupa has the best site on the net!!!";
letters = Text.split("");
letterformat = new TextFormat();

i have had this file sitting around a while and what i would like to do is make the blob/bubbles mouse trailer actually set as a mask for an image or mc. all the code sits on a small control clip just outside the stage.
here be the fla - blob.fla
also any hints on how to get this little thing to work in MX 2004 ?
You know how some flash sites have navigation buttons and everytime you put your mouse over the other navigation button there is a line or an "element" that comes and follows the mouse and stays under that navigation options?

//mouseTrailer

View 5 RepliesSo I've created a script where a mc is clicked on and the player can draw a path using the mouse. I'm trying to figure out how I can get the mc to follow the path drawn out by the player's mouse and when the player clicks again, it erases all of the path.my code is below

I'm trying to design my very first flash website, to date I've been using a photoshop/imageready and HTML combo and I need something new. So, I bought Flash MX 2004, and thus my question regards AS 2.
My problem is, I want an object to follow a path (like a motion guide) but I want its X position to be determined by the mouses X position. This is to be this way so that no matter where your cursor is (it will be hidden) the object following the path and your mouses X position will be the same. I tried to just make a motion guide and then use the following AS but it did not work.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myRadians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
myDegrees = Math.round((myRadians*180/Math.PI));
_root.yChange = Math.round(_root._ymouse-this._y);
[Code].....
That is just modified AS from a tutorial I read. It makes the object follow my mouses X position and rotate according to specific degrees (makes it more interesting). The problem is that I need the objects Y value to be a set value along a curved line. And I have no idea how to do this. I was reading something about the path follower class but thats way above my head.
So I just found out the hard way that the path that Flash uses to load external content is based on the HTML it is embedded in, not the SWF itself. This is a problem for me because I have the HTML generated from a PHP file that is in a folder below the SWF. The PHP has other dependencies that would break if I moved it into the same folder as the SWF.So basically now my dev testing and web versions are separated by a folder.Is there a way to change the relative path Flash uses? Or am I going to have to hack things up?
View 1 RepliesI am working on a custom library for Flash ActionScript3, and I have a handful of functions that I would like to add to Array.prototype.
I placed the extension in a separate .as file within a folder in the library directory, but when I make the include call from my document class, it tries to execute the include relative to the .fla file's location, rather than the library's source path.
I have already added the lib path to the Source Path: values under ActionScript3 Advanced Settings, which works for my import statements.
How do I get the include path to be relative to the library's path?[code]...
Wondering if any of you have any experience with the title. I just want a dot or an object to follow the path drawn by my mouse at a predetermined length.
View 0 RepliesI have a file that has a thumbnail scroller(which is run with a xml file) and a slideshow that when loads has a bunch of images on the scroller and when clicked, opens bigger in the slide show.
what I want to be able to do, is when other buttons outside the scroller are clicked, it loads a new xml file, but I am not sure how to go about doing that.
I have attached my fla file and .as file so you can see what I am working with.

View 1 RepliesHere's the code from a button that controls a movie clip on the main page[code]...
The code works fine when the button is on the main timeline. However, I have a new complicated rollover button which is no longer on the main timeline. How do I change the path to the "container" movie clip?
I've been going through the Transitions Between External SWF tutorials and all is going well except I wish to situate my buttons in a movieclip and not on the main timeline as the tutorial teaches. The tutorial does point out; 'If your buttons are not located on the main timeline, you will have to change the path to the container movieclip. If your buttons are not on the main timeline, you must change container to the appropriate path.'Does anyone know how I'd do that to the below code? (for some reason the code tags were messing up so I've just copy and pasted.)

Anyway, im trying to slow down and speed up an orbit of an mc relative to where the mouse position is. So basically i need some sort of radial "field" where when the mouse gets close to the outside of the orbit the movie clip stops and when it is farther away the movie clip speeds up.

I have motion tween made on the stage that follows a custom path. It's a bus going along its route. instead of dragging out the frames to get it to be the right length ( i have multiple bus tweens running) is there a way to export the tween for actionscript or xml and adjust the total duration of the tween as one would a normal tween created in actionscript?

I have about 200 imported pngs in my Library that I would like to Update Library Items on to reflect some changes made in photoshop.The problem is that the images were imported from various network and local drives that no longer exist, so when I click Update, nothing happens. The file names have not changed, only the physical paths to them.Does anybody know a way to tell Flash "Hey, look in this directory instead!" so I dont have to manually go through every single file and update from a new location?
