I've got a very basic fla file which actually worked on flash5 but it's no more working with flashmx 2004. A movie clip move from a position , let say A, to B, then to C.
I insert a stop(); action on B, so the movie stop. Inside the movie entitie I insert a button with the command play() (I have also try _level0.play() or nameofmovie.play())I expected that the movie continue playing from B to C but it does nothing..
I'm having trouble getting my inheritance variables worked out. In 'plain English', this is what I want:
base class enemy:
{variable HP;
if(HP<=0){remove instance}[code].....
But when I try to do this, it just gives me some error either about conflicting namespace or about the variable not being defined. I've done stuff like this before in GM and Python, but I don't understand how it's supposed to be done in AS3.
Has anyone worked with the five3D video3D class.I have started to work with it but when I put a video on the stage and then remove it and add another video the new video is been created to the old videos width and height. Its the strangest thing and I can't seem to find the answer to why this would happen.I first thought it might be a memory issue but I have nulled all the references and its still not working correctly.
View 3 RepliesI created a new layer, draw a rectangle, converted it to button, made its alpha to 0 and then added a snippet to go to the url. But when it played, the action only worked after the first loop had finished. It didn't work at the beginning.
View 3 RepliesSo I picked up a project after some time of being away from it. The text fields worked fine under CS4, but under my new windows install and with CS5 the text fields turn blank when I try to change them. Everything else seems to work. I tried embedding the font with the embed button, but that didn't do anything.The text that it starts off with is there on the screen, but when I change it with something like: tEnemyPieces.text = "blah blah blah";the field turns blank.If I trace tEnemyPieces.text it will trace as "blah blah blah". But the text will not show on the screen.

View 3 RepliesI had a forum up a few months ago, and got help getting radio buttons to work with a continue button, causing the movie to gotoAndStop at a particular frame. (This is all being done on the main timeline).Everything was working fine, now, I keep trying to do it again, but regardless of which button I click, it only goes to frame 2 where the Novice radio button is supposed to go.I think the problem is in the line of code that reads:varframeNumber=2+Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)I know it is set to only go to the novice area, but my understanding was that since these were radio buttons, any button clicked would work, and I only needed to type in one of the unique instance names
Here is the code:
stop();
continueButton.enabled=false

In Flex3, I could compile pure as3 code and use "embed" tags to load in images. This was done by Flex making a BitmapAsset class.I can still do this in Flex4.
However, there was a trick to fakeout flex3 and use my own mx.core.BitmapAsset class to remove some of the extraneous stuff Flex's BitmapAsset brings in with it. This is described here: [URL]..Unfortunately, I cannot get these tricks to work with Flex4 and get smaller file sizes. I end up with the error "VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::BitmapAsset could not be found."[URL]..Following this advice, I add -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true, and my swf loads without an error... but this means I am loading in the pieces of the flex framework I wanted to omit (and the file size says so too).
Is there a better way to fake out flex4 when it comes to using Embed?
Just started learning AS, and have modified some code from a tutorial to put a couple of basic pages together. Each page apart from the loading screen consists of 4 buttons linking to 4 different pages.I have so far changed one word in the code, relating to one navigational button, and as far as I can tell, all the corresponding code, and the Properties and parameters inspectors. The error is apparently a "duplicate function definition" of all the functions in frame 2.Strange how the script worked perfectly with the previous word "About", which was changed to "Animations".The preview of the site just flicks through each page without stopping.[code]

My older SWFs still work great, just the ones I exported today that are having problems.
