im aware of the movieclipinstancename.enable=false;but i cant seem to get it to work.I want it to work because i slide in a sound control panel over my content (also in a movieclip) but the mouse still reacts to mouse events of the content under the sound control panel. eg i have a flash email form, and the icon changes to it.
View 2 RepliesHow do you use that??? I'd like to duplicate a MC and give it dynamicly a position but i don't know how to tell that to flash...I'm using that code :
[AS]
onClipEvent(load){
for(i=0; i = nb_titre; i++){
_root.bande.duplicateMovieClip("bande" + i, i, .......................)}}
for (x = 0; x < 10; x++){
for (y = 0; y < 10; y++){
this.createTextField("_txt"+depth, depth, x*20, y*20, 20, 20);[code].....
the above script is from senocular's isometry tutorial, but when i place it on the first frame in MX04 and test the movie -> the result is one box with text "9:9".
I am having trouble setting the alpha of a movie clip (this is a bitmap, if that matters). My code is as follows:
Code:
on (change) {
if (this.getSelectedItem().data == 3) {
set (this._parent.ahouston._alpha,100)}
if (this.getSelectedItem().data <> 3) {
set (this._parent.ahouston._alpha,0)}
}
I don't believe it is a problem with my combobox actionscript, as just putting:
Code:
set (this.ahouston._alpha,100)
in the only frame of the parent movie clip doesn't work either.
EDIT: Now it shows it with 0% alpha, but won't turn to 100%. I was wrong. It is a combobox problem.
ive done a little media player for my mates website.means i didnt understand the xml and loading audio that way i decided to try another way,which was to load external .swf which contained audio.so ive done this everything working.the problem is i tried to add a timer, so that when the 30 sec sample was done it would go to the next frame which loads a different track.i found a piece of timer code which is
loadMovieNum("track2.swf", 1);
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
var time = 0;[code].....
It all works first time around but when you select the track again then it cuts out 20-25 seconds,
I have that loop:
[AS]
for (i=1; i<this.nb; i++) {_root.bande.duplicateMovieClip("bande"+i, i, {_x:originex, _y:(originey+(bandeheight*i))});

I don't know How to do it. I have a quiz in xml and what I want to do it's to open randomly a quiz from 3 xml... In fact, there is only a place in the script where it talk about the xml : myData.load("quiz.xml");and that's at the end of the script on frame 1... How do I set to randomly chose between different xml files.

I'm working on a website that is kind of set up a bit like a flash game. the background scrolls continuously with the movement of your mouse, and loops to make it appear seamless. my problem is with the quality.. it seems to skip or jump a little when it moves, and I am trying to get it as smooth as possible.
the source file is here: http:[url]....
you can just export it to see what I am talking about. what can I do to make it not so jumpy? are there settings I can adjust, or does anyone have any other code variations that would improve on mine?
what i'm trying to create is a map system with pan and zoom functions similar to google maps. that part is easy. what i'm having trouble with is figuring out how to scale the coordinates at the top and left of the map.so if at 100% my map is viewable from mile 0 to mile 99 (numbers are only for the sake of example) then when i zoom in on the center to 150% i would need to show coordinates from mile 25 to mile 75 ... i think if that example is not clear just look at flash or photoshop. when you zoom in just look how the ruler around the stage changes with the zoom level.

View 5 RepliesIm loading several thumbnails from out of a database into flash, everything is stored as it should. Then i create a Rectangle called "mc_mask". This one is created as it should with the correct values. Then im looping through this for(){}. As you can see im duplicating a movieclip "mc_thumb_holder" then eval them to my array, there im loading in a Movie with .loadMovie(thumb); Now when i set the rectangle as a mask on each of the duplicated movieclips it wont work. So my question is:

I've got a main movie (main) loading another movie (forms) that includes a listbox (listBox) inside a empty movieclip (comboloader).. When I test this out using a getURL?variable="+ _root.variable it works fine in the flash test but when I run it from the site the variable is "undefined"
Here's my code for the button which makes all this happen.

am I missing a _parent somewhere? Is there any reason this thing would work standalone (in flash) and not in the final file (when its loaded into another clip)
I want to have links on several pages of my website which, when clicked, take the user to an html page called "portfolio.htm" which has a flash portfolio on it. This portfolio is set up with a series of buttons which load external .swf files for each project. How do I tell flash which .swf to load when the flash file opens.
ex: user clicks on "project x" on a web page called print.htm. The user should then be taken to portfolio.htm where a flash file resides and loads "project x" into a movie clip called "content_mc".
All the other posts I've read make reference to PHP. Is it neccesary to use PHP, or can I achieve this without PHP?

I'm using Flash Remoting to grab a result set from a SQL Server database. Then, using the total records in the result set, I'm creating the respective number of movie clips on the stage. Each of these movie clips is an instance of the "button_mc" movie clip I have in the library, named "button_0", "button_1", ..."button_n". The library movie clip that I'm using to create the instances contains a standard Flash button.
Anyway, that part is working fine. What I want to do is dynamically generate the onRelease event handler for each of these unique buttons. When I try to do this within the for loop, it sets all the event handlers to the last item in the list. What I want to do with the event handler is change the text of a dynamic text field based on the button name.
e.g. buttonName.onRelease = function() {
myDynamicTextField.text = "button_"+i;
}
In some ways it makes sense that the event handler is always going to be the last available in the loop, as the handler is called after the loop is completed. However, I'm hoping there's a way to make the handler "stick" after the loop is completed.
Basically I'm trying to resize images in flash to fit the masked area but proportionately....
My mask area is:
Code:
width = 478;
height = 420;
now consider that the the max width I want my pictures to be. This doesn't have to be exact. Now what I came up with to resize proportionatly is:
Code:
//width & height are my mask deminsions ( which i wanna resize my pics to)
//width_orig & height_orig are the deminsions of each new loaded pic.
height = (width / width_orig) * height_orig;
width = (height / height_orig) * width_orig;
That does scale them proportionatly but some of the times it will resize a lil bit smaller than the image area which I don't really want. Like I said this doesn't need to be exact. I would prefer it to be a lil bit bigger than the masked area. I just need to make sure the pics are scaled proportionatly.
