What I'm working on is a spinning menu, and it's sort of working, but there is a particular spot where in order to achieve the rotation that I want, the menu spins entirely around instead of just going the 3 degrees or whatever that it needs. I can't quite figure out how to fix it.Note how when you get to the 9 o'clock position it spins around in a weird fashion.[code]
View 12 RepliesI have to make this analog clock for a university assignment and despite some really good efforts last night and tonight I just can't work out how to get it fully working. There is both a digital and analog clock; the digital clock works fine, but the analog clock just starts from a random time whenever I play the test movie. I am supposed to use the date object, not the timer object. And I am also supposed to add a sound every minute - I have added the sound to the minutes layer and selected but I don't know where to go from there. I seem to be able to find lots of example code for the timer object but not the date.
this.addEventListener("enterFrame",clockHandler); false, 0, true;
function clockHandler(e:Event)

i am designing a web for my friend and i need help making a 3d logo which spins 360 degrees. the logo is of a giant G with a guy on top of it and some minor text.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering how to create somthing that spins correctly when something hits it. (UL...) The gernades make it spin differently the different distances away they are from the center.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create spinning shapes floating in space. There is still gravity in the environment, however it should not affect these platform objects because they are static (right?). How can I apply a constant angularVelocity to it though? It doesn't seem to apply when I assign it a value, probably due because it's static.
The simplest example would be a spinning gear, an automated teeter-totter (not influenced by external forces). All I'm trying to make is a spinning rectangle that could interfere with a ball controlled by the user.Do I need to use Joints to pin it in place? How can I specify the details of not being influenced by the dynamic objects?
can you tell me if it is possible to detect if an object is rotating anti clockwise or not? at present i get x,y co-ords and use the code below to rotate it which is fine. now i could write an if statement to check if rotation is negative or positive but because rotation can be negative and positive when rotating clockwise and anti clockwise this wouldnt work.

I am having problems understanding arrays. More exact, how to output them in a fashion. Say i have this array of five items, and i want to output them items starting first with a random number and then increasing by one until the array reaches the last index. But say the random number is 2? It would diplay 2 through 4 but not display 0 or 1. I would like to display 0 through what ever the initial random number was. In this case 2 through 4 would display, i would then like the 0 through 1 to display after. [code]...
View 1 RepliesWell i want to duplicate clips so they are in a grid fashion. I thought about something similar to this tutorial:[URL]..
But for that, you can't have for example, 27 of the same clips. It will always be 25, 30, 35 - depending on your i and j values of course.
So the question is how can you chagne the code from the tutorial, so the grid isn't actually a grid. In other words, have 5 clips in row 1, 5 clips in row 2, but 2 clips in row 3.

View 4 RepliesI want to generate movielclips dynamically using xml nodes in a circular fashion (lets assume 360 degree circle). Suppose if i have 5 nodes in xml, then it has to generate only 5 movieclips in a circular fashion. and if it was 50, it has to generate 50 mc's in a circular fashion again.

View 2 Repliescreate those mix and match things that you often see on those fashion websites (You would select what variety of clothing you would want by clicking through the different items until you get the combination that you want, and then submit that choice to the store). I heard that it can be easily done in flash and so I am asking if it can be done.
I have nothing made at the moment. I just want to be able to know what the heck the client was talking about before I send her a contract. It'd be really messy if I come off as a guy who doesn't know what he's doing.

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create an XML driven menu for my portfolio site. I'm basing the code concept off Senocular's tutorial on this site, but I'm basing the aesthetic/operational idea off portfolio menus such as those seen on [URL] and basically every other portfolio site that uses small thumbnails as icons to present larger versions of the work.
Functionally, I think I've got it down (it's basically the tutorial code with the submenu functions stripped out), but I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to display my attachMovie'd items in a logical row/column fashion... i.e. if I had 7 items in my XML file and wanted the row to exist in threes, I'd have two rows of three and one row of one.
I'm sure there's a very simple solution to this that I'm simply overlooking. I was just thinking about trying to implement this via some type of counter/multiplier for the _y property.
ive got a flash template, but its really difficult to edit. heres the thing: there are 4 main categories buttons, and when i click each categorie, 3 options appears. for example
[Code]...
green, blue, red and yellow are already with button codes, for when i click it, it opens their 1, 2 and 3 option buttons, but these 1 2 and 3 for each color are not links, and when i try to add a code to them, ALL of them get the same link, like their instances from the same thing. and when i try to set a button to be instance of another thing, all of them change again.
its really difficult and i've tried everything. even creating another box for these 1,2and 3, but when i create a box on this section, another 2 boxes are created at its sides.
ill try and give as much detail as possible: im trying to teach myself and make a flash site at the same time, so far so good, i already had one, but didn't like the layout
im using Macromedia flash 8 to make this. when i use the glow effect on text, and make a new keyframe to dim the glow again theres a weird blink on that keyframe and im not sure what is wrong.

View 10 RepliesI'm using AS3. I have a timeline with 12 labeled frames (page 1...page12). On frames 1 to 10, I have 3 objects that users can drag and drop onto matching places. There is a timer (60 seconds) and a counter. Users should match 15 objects correctly. If so, they go to frame 12 (congratulations!). If not, they go to frame 11 (Sorry, try again), which returns them to frame 1 (page 1).
ISSUE: When users drag an object (mouseDown) and don't release it when time is over, the dragged object remains on the screen. When users go to frame 11 and game starts over, the object remains throughout the entire game.How can I get rid of the dragged object that isn't dropped when the time is over?Here ism y code:
// TIMER
var time1:int=60;var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(1000, time1);[code]..................
Basically it's a font called Scene Pro and it's Open Type. I have a guy working on a Mac and the font does this on his computer.But it's completely fine on my PC. It's the same font.He has Font Book and we disabled all the fonts except Scene Pro - and still this happens. We need this guy to do more work in Flash but on a Mac he's kinda held back a bit with the text behaving like this. I end up Publishing the file from my computer.

Fairly new to Flash but I was wondering something. When I look at a jpg in Photoshop, the quality is fantastic and the white border is sharp.
When I import that same jpg into flash and convert it to a button, it somehow looks a tad odd around the edges, like it's been scaled by 0.1% or something, enough to make the once crisp white edge, look anti-aliased.
Got this weird issue going on today. The hitarea, the 'interactive space' of some of my buttons is off/ distorted. I created several buttons in a class with the pen tool and converted them to Buttons. I added some eventlisteners, but when I tested my Movie, I noticed the interactive space of some buttons was gone or at a different position or not the size I made it.
I made another button using the rectangle tool, and tested again. I noticed the visual button was at the place I put it, but the 'interactive space' was at the bottom right. Whenever I would move over this interactive space with my cursor, the visual button would instantly go to the place the interactive space is. Whenever I move the mouse out of the interactive space, the visual button goes back to its inital place.
Check it: (press start, 2 times the right arrow, then the window, then go to one of the buildings in the landscape and click on it)[URL].. Here you see two rectangle shape buttons. Hover over them, no interactivity. Move the mouse somewhat down to the right, and weirdness happens.

My project is about a header.swf that calls a nav.swf (with a menu and other stuff) and also inits a slideshow through a Slideshow class.This is in header.swf:[code]I renamed the XmlParser class to "XmlParser2.as" (as well as other references to it) and then...it worked...what the hell was going on here?
obs: I tried that also: I commented all the code inside the "initSlideShow" function, keeping the XmlParser instantiation, and the nav.swf didn't show as well.
obs2 : i didn't had XmlParser.as imported cause it was in the root directory. ( i explicitely imported it and tried to compile but same thing happened)
obs3: nav.swf uses the XmlParser.as to load two menus, however I don't believe it has anything to do it since it's a file that is already compiled, at the point I try to load it into header.swf, right?
there is a yellow stroke appearing on my Flash buttons sometimes and i really have no idea why..anyone had this before? I didnt put there...and sometimes it appears on random buttons..
