I use mc for animated button with a three stages - over, stay over and out where animation starts on over, get to the loop on stay over and finished on mouse out. I found a few pieces of codes over internet, put them toghether, modified a little - fool's luck - it does a trick for a single button, but luck wears out when i tried multiply it.

I'm using Actionscript 3.0. and the movie clips around 6-7 seconds long.
i'm working on a gallery that loads thumbnails from an xml file into 3 columns and when you click on a thumbnail it opens a new window with the fullsized image in.
I have modified code from a gallery tutorial to load the thumbnails from a xml file. They are going in 3 columns at the moment (I don't understand why but they are) but only the last image has a hand cursor when you rollover it, and then when you click on it, it traces "undefined" into the output box.
I have put
Code:
trace(images_arr[i].attributes.fullsize);
just below the bit where it loads the thumbnails and it traces the right path from the xml file for each image.
get it to trace the right path from the xml file when you click on ALL the thumbnails, not just the last one.
Code:
function GenerateThumbs() {
images_arr = images_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
gap = 10;

I'm wondering how I can return the value of an array that is being created inside a for loop?I have created a class that is using ZendAmf to grab page titles out of a database. After the connection is made I put the page titles into an array with a for loop. I would like the class to return the value of the completed array.
I have tried using a public array variable and a getter, but I'm never going to get the correct value until the for loop finishes. So how would I go about getting the array variable after the loop has completed?I'd rather not set a listener that listens for a boolean inside the for loop.
I'm trying to get a video I've placed on stage in an FLV component to Loop to the beginning once it's finished playing. However, once it plays through it stops and doesn't loop round, although the trace statement I'm calling in the loopVideo function is appearing in the output window? Here's my code...

Someone has created a map where there are little colored buttons over building locationsThe buttons were made so that when you hover your cursor over them, they will bring up a little chat bubble (like the ones you see in comics) with the appropriate street address text. What I cannot figure out is how to, after removing the cursor from over a button, make the text bubble stay put so that those who see the map can highlight then copy and paste the street address from it.
View 4 RepliesI have asked before but that was a week ago and ive changed alot of code. I am still having the same issue of trying to ignore MOUSE_MOVE while a tween plays and then reactivate MOUSE_MOVE on Finish. I have tried timers aswell to anticipate the finish with no luck as if i move some code a error #1009 happens.
I have alos tried motion_finished, if statements and even values with no luck as the code will just not function unless left as below.[code]...
I am trying to loop a .flv clip located in an array when that clip has finished. Do I add an EventListener.complete then play it again? Ummmm. This seems pretty pedestrian.
View 2 RepliesI have Flash CS4 but I decided to use Actionscript 1/2 for this file. I am a beginner at using ActionscriptI need my file to loop back to frame 110 on mouseover. Also, the animationshould not loop or stop until the animation is over. What is the actionscript code for this?I already added a stop(); command at the last frame of one layer so it won't loop)

I have 3 buttons and when I click them the attach movies corresponding to them from the library should show up. Issue is with for loops. It stops at last number. What should I do or use for loop so that when I click my invisible buttons, movie corresponding to them show up? and only that movie show up, not anyone else.
buttonArray = [btn,btn1,btn2]; //mouse click button
movieArray = ["mypopmc","mypopmc1","mypopmc2"]; //movie name;
mArray1 = [mypop_mc,mypop_mc1,mypop_mc2,]; //movie instance name
//dynamic text instance for 3 movies are y1,y2 and y3
for(n=0;n<buttonArray.length;n++) {
[Code]...
How could I create the for loop so that with every mouse click it shows the corresponding movie and text in it. It should show only 1 movie at a time with 1 mouse click on the invisible button (I meant corresponding movie).
I have two animations on the timeline- one from say frame a to b and second from frame c to d. I would like the first animation to loop indefinitely till mouse moves over it, which triggers the second animation to start and loop until mouse it moved away.
View 3 RepliesI have a replay button that is already working great, but I want the arrow part of the button to spin in the 'Over' state. What I tried was creating a looped frame. I went inside the button itself, (button composed of an arrow symbol and text). I then went to the 'Over' state and went to edit the arrow symbol itself.when I drag the playheader in there, it seems to loop just fine, but when I export it it's not working.

The problem is this when the layer with the box on the time line ends the box disappears from the stage as well. now with a old school tween I would just add a blank key frame to the end of the movie and problem solved. But since I'm playing around with a the new type of tween when I try to stretch out the time line it affects the timing of the previous frames. In some cases the whole animation slows to a crawl in others the bouncing in the motion preset happens at the wrong time making it look like the bounce is happening in mid-air.
So what I would like to do is just stretch out the time line in some way and just have the first part of the new tween stay in time and pretty much add dead space to the end of the tween and have the box stay put.
have a very simple webpage that I want to have a very simple, respectively, flash object. It is a jpeg banner that I want to have text come in from both sides at different times and then stay put... I got the text timing and end locations where but the text disapperars after the tween. Maybe I went about it the wrong way, but what I have tried so far is:
Making a new layer and creating a text field and trying to position it in the same spot on the next frame and tried it on the last frame of the tween( two different tries). When I try to change the location and size of the text box (so that it theoretically is in the same spot) the changes wont stick.. Is that supposed to happen.
So how to I get it to look like the text tweened to the spot I wanted it to and then stay there?
I got a box symbol nothing fancy I applied a motion preset to it and its just a basic bounce. I would like it when the bounce is over the box would just stay still on the stage and the time line would continue to play.

I have a flash template loaded on my server (Go Daddy) and when I make changes to the xml file they show up changed and then after about 10 minutes my xml file changes back to what it was before changed it, except the only changes it takes is if I add a new image and make that change in the xml its ok but if I try and change the order of the photos in the xml file or the text descriptors at the bottom of each photo it changes for a minute or so then reverts back to it old way. Here is an attachment of my xml file.

I didnt see a place in preferences to keep edges hidden. I have some text that has a dotted line around it. I can hide it with hide edges, but as soon as I select them and let go, the edges come back. maybe their not edges since theyre dotted. maybe its flash telling me somethings not set up correctly? anyone?

View 3 RepliesRecently today my Flash started not staying open. When I run it, it shows the normal screen with the timeline, properties, stage and all but then it closes down. I can still open my previous works except Flash just closes down.
Worked normally like 5 hours ago. Although something strange did happen when I was using it 5 hours ago. My library suddenly became empty of all tweens and symbols and stuff but my program still worked. Restarting Flash brought back all the symbols to the library. But I doubt that this could be the cause of my newer more serious problem.
How do I get a down button to stay down after it is clicked.
View 7 RepliesI am creating a small flash project which has few scenes, in one of them I've exported FLV video(5 minutes). When I test this scene it plays the whole video, but when I run the project it is not showing the whole video(less then one second on this scene and goes to the next one). If I'll increase the length of the timeline to show the whole video then the project won't compile because of too many frames. Is there any way to play the whole exported video and then go to the next scene?
View 1 RepliesI have a swf that I created in Flash CS4 that includes a movieclip. Because I only have a small number of frames for the movieclip I have set it to 6fps so that it runs at the right speed. When I publish and then load the swf the movieclip runs at the right framerate. However, I am actually using these swf files in an actionscript project that loads them up and displays them. When I do that with this swf the fps on the movieclip seems to have reverted to 24fps and is running way too fast. Is there some way to limit the movie clip fps so that it stays the same when I load it in actionscript, or is there any reason why the fps should be reverting? Ideally I would like to have different fps for different elements within my swf - is that possible?
View 6 RepliesI heard this is a great forum for Flash. I aspire to make flash games. I am learning from a book at the moment "Actionscript 3.0 Game Programming" and I'm going through it and trying to improve the example games in order to understand flash better. I am stuck with a problem and can't find the answer on the internet.In a game I load up some pictures and have them slide around. The problem is I want to have a dynamic text over the pictures but it always gets covered up. I tried putting the text field in a new layer and have that layer on top but when the pictures load it covers it up.
View 2 RepliesI have buttons with black text. The buttons (not the text) change colour to red when you rollover them. I can't seem to work out how to get the colour to stay red when it's clicked. Do I make a duplicate symbol which is already red to replace it when clicked? And I'm also unsure of the actions I'm supposed to use if any??
