I wanted to find a way to highlight current thumbnails, and I successfully did this by using the tutorial in the archives found here
My question is, when the thumbnails FIRST load and the first image is loaded, how can I get the first thumbnail to already be highlighted? Here is what I've tried and cannot figure out why it isn't working.
in the firstImage function, I added this:

I have some buttons placed on stage. Every button has s baseclass, Button.as.
What i wonder is how i in my baseclass can highlight the button that was clicked.. and then when another button is clicked highlight that one instead.. some current-button functionality.[code]...
I frequent a few other forms on various web related stuff, but just started to really get into flash. I have a calendar I've been working on, I get it to auto create the days and months based off the system date. Now what I'd like to do is have my AS Highlight the current day so it stands out...
I've been looking over the code, trying to figure out how to get it, but I keep getting stuck. I know Flash has a built in "Date" and I've been trying if statements to get it to == my AS Datestamp, but I have to be doing it wrong.
Ive pieced this together from a few different calendars after seeing the code, the AS is split into 4 KeyFrames. The code below is what gets the day, and places the start cord. of the MC:

I've completed the tutorial to create a photo gallery using flash and xml, and have gone on to add the thumbnails. Everything works as intended, but now I would like to add another feature... I'd like to highlight the thumbnail that coordinates with the current image (maybe at 100% alpha while the others are only at 50% or something along those lines). Any suggestions, building off of this:[URL] ?
View 1 RepliesI've got two different domains and both of them direct to the same website. This website has a menu on top made in Flash (the rest is HTML, so the page must be reloaded everytime I click on an option or I need new content).
But this Flash movie has to show a different animation depending on the URL.
What can I do to find out the current URL in ActionScript?
I am creating a flash file to display products.
Product details and images are stored in XML File.
What i am trying to create is something similar to banner on [URL]
The addition to this is that products will be scrolling right to left automatically if there is no interaction from user, and product at the center will remain highlighted.
I have created a long strip of Products cover with a mask, the long strip keeps moving to give a scrolling effect.
I'm trying to create a drag motion by using mouse_down then the mc = mouseX. Here is an image of the situation
But when I click, the mc always jumps to its registration point, which is the top left corner atm.
I can't work my head around how to grab the current location of the mc. Note that the mc (all_mc) is wider than the stage.
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(e:MouseEvent) {
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
}
[Code]....
Ok I kind of worked out the x location of the mouse in relation to the registration point of the mc (the registration is at the top left):
Math.abs(stage.x - all_mc.x) + mouseX
But how to I select that point of on the mc?
I need to trace the current level number that I am working on. So say I have 3 swf's loaded onto different levels (_level0, _level1, _level2, _level3), and each has a button, so when I press the button in level1, the number will trace 1, press button in level2, number will be 2, etc.

I want to find a way to get the number of the current frame of the main timeline using code in the timeline.
So like in frame 10 of the timeline I put in some actions. I want to make a variable that gets the number of the current frame so I can use it later.
Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var framenum:uint = currentframe;
gotoAndStop(framenum + 3);
I have a movieclip, which attaches to another movieclip, which scrolls.On click I want to be able to drag that movieclip away from the one it was attached to. When I just removeChild it, it's position changes. I want it to stay in the same spot until it's dragged.Any suggestion, on how I can give it that same position, when not attached?

View 1 RepliesHaven't been here for a while and I'm really rusty using Flash. I looking for a tutorial or some information on how to scroll thumbnails by scrolling the mouse left or right over the thumbnails.
View 3 RepliesI used the tutorial "Adding Thumbnails" to build a fotoshow. Adding another xml-file I have the problem,that I cannot reload(?) the thumbnails correctly.[code]Then I do not see any thumbnails,if(!) the new thumbnail list contains fewer elements than the old one and if the old thumbnail list was scrolled over the hit_right field before.It is seemingly necessary to reset the internal state of the movieclip. But how can I accompish that?
View 1 RepliesI've got a website with three links to three different thumbnail galleries. When I click the link to a gallery that has a lesser number of thumbnails, it fills the difference in numbers in with thumbnails from the previous gallery.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do some animation in Flash, and for some reason, just out of the blue, I managed to switch on the highlight box that turns up around all marks you make with the paintbrush. I found the option in the preferences window to change the colour, so I swapped it to the background colour so the box is slightly less intrusive, but it's still pretty distracting when im trying to draw. How do I turn it off?
EDIT: Also I have noticed i can only 'fill' a shape with the fill tool if it was a complete shape made with a single line. So for example if i were to draw a circle and then in my second brushstroke i were to draw a line across the centre and then apply the fill/paintbucket tool to the circle, it would fill the entire circle rather than the section before where the line crossed it. Is this related to the 'box' issue?
I have a simple shape, e.g. rect, circle, polygon, in a movie clip that I want to highlight, via AS3, when it is clicked. I thought I could just turn off the stroke using alpha of 0 and then turn it back up to act as the highlight but have been unable to find any way to do this. I was able to change the alpha for the entire mc but can't find a way to access the strokes of the shape.If it is just a rectangle or circle I can use the info from the shape to draw the highlight but when it gets more complicated I don't know how to find the borders of the shape.
View 3 RepliesIn my code, when a user clicks on a button, I set the alpha of the button to 50 and set enabled=0. This works to essentially disable and grey out the button. The problem is that even though the button has been disabled, it still sits in the over state until the user moves the cursor off the hit area... Funny, no?
Since you can't tell a button what frame to go to, how do I get it to go back to its up state (without recreating all my buttons as movieclips and doing the whole thing manually)?

View 0 RepliesI am pretty good at making games, but I do not know how to do this: making it so that when you click the mouse, hold it, then drag it to another position, a box appears. Does anybody know what I am talking about? Here, minimize down to your desktop and try it. Left-click, hold, then move the mouse around. See that highlight box it creates? I'm wondering if there is a way you can do that in Flash.My Flash version is Macromedia Flash 8 Professional with ActionScript 2.0. I need to do this box thing because I am making a StarCraft
