ActionScript 2.0 :: GetUrl Is Canceling Out Animations?
Apr 23, 2008
This is AS2. I have a mc that is functioning as a button. On the mc timeline the actions frame contains the code at the bottom, and it everything works fine. Except when I try to add the getUrl statement. Here is the statement
on (release) {getURL("http://mysite.com", "_blank") ; }
here is how I try to add it. When I'm on the main timeline, I click on the mc. then I click on the actions panel then I insert the above code. When I do, Then all the animations etc. in the button is cancelled out, but It does get the url. How do I get both the animations and the geturl to work together. below is the code contained inside the mc.
// When mouse pointer over the button
box_color.onRollOver = function() {
box_color_play = 1;
I have a character that uses the arrow keys to move. Key_Down sends him 10px left or right per press and when you let go he stops. easy as pie. What I've now added in is that when you press either of those keys it also plays a "walk" sound. In order to stop this walk sound I then added Key_Up and specified that the sound should stop via SndChannel.stop();
At first it was working fine, but there was the issue that if you held down a directional button the sound would spawn multiple times and sound like crap. I added in a boolean to disallow this, making it so that only one instance will play at a time and it will loop. The problem now is, however, that the initial SndChannel.stop(); under the Key_Up listener has stopped working. Instead of stopping the sound immediately on key up, it waits until the sound file has finished and simply stops it from repeating.
Im making an app that ratates images in seperate MCs from seperate arrays. The problem seems to be in the nextImage function, where the currentImage variable doesnt seem to advance, leaving the first image in the array to repeat on the cycle. It works fine when I trigger the function independently, but not when I trigger it twice at the same time. My guess is that maybe the variable is getting rewritten back and for by each instance
Code: var pic1Container:Sprite = new Sprite; var pic2Container:Sprite = new Sprite;
I am having a problem cancelling the execution of a function. When I click on the first of my navigation buttons, I have a fade in tween and an image loader load an external image. If I click on the second navigation button befiore the function for the 1st button finishes, the 1st tween and image loader continue to finish while the tween and image loader function for the 2nd navigation button starts. Essentially, there is an overlap. Is there a way to tell the 2nd navigation button to stop all other functions before it starts its own function? I suspect it has something to do with stopImmediatePropagation, but I am unsure of how to put this into the function.
I have a function that running on ENTER_FRAME inside another function that is called once on COMPLETE. I need to stop that ENTER_FRAME later on in the timeline. Here's the basic code:
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener); function startListener(e:Event):void { var mySprite = new Sprite();
[Code]....
So you see when myLoader is COMPLETE it creates mySprite that is an ENTER_FRAME and continues to run the function playerBarPos. The function playerBarPos then traces over and over again "this keeps going and going". How do I later in the timeline stop this?
I have some code that is canceling out my other code. I have code that is controlling two movie clips. Below i have the code separated in two sections, marked my comments. When i add the second sections "//info box", it disables the code above it. I know the code works, because i have it working separatly. Can anyone tell me what the conflict is?
I am using an event listener for both rollOut and rollOver to a button, on roll over it populates a text field, roll out clears the field, however I would like on click to populate the field and leave it persistant untill another roll over event happens, curently the roll_out event takes priority and when I move my mouse it clears the field, regardless of click.
what is the best way to cancel the roll_out event?
I have a weird issue that only seems to show itself on IE 8 so far. I have a semi transparent png tiling accross some divs on my site. All works ok. However as soon as i put any flash content on any div on the page, doesn't matter where, IE stops tiling the png and stretches it instead. It only occurs with flash and on ie8.
I'm trying to make a custom menu for my website. Each of three main menu items contains a set of sub menu items that are button instances.I've managed to set it up like I want, where when you hover the mouse overtop the main menu item it animates beautifully, reveling the sub menu items buttons below it. However, once I touch the button instances themselves it seems to cancel out the mouse_event that caused the animation in the first place (rolling over the main menu item), and sends it back to it's first frame - essentially making the buttons within the submenus inaccessible.
at the end of this tutorial it talks about adding links to the buttons created. I did what it said to do but the two buttons keep canceling themselves out if I place them on top of eachother.
What I've got is a clip that when moused over expands down, and when moused out contracts back up again...simple right.
The problem I've got is that as soon as I place a child inside the expanding clip (which is another expanding and contracting clip). the listener gets blocked by its child making it contact before it should. This sounds a little confusing, but will make alot more sense when viewing my code here...
Code: import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; var section1:Section1 = new Section1();
[Code]....
By the way I will be putting buttons inside the clips eventually, so disabling the clips contents is a no go.
anywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..
I made 1 image gallery. and i am facing a big issue. When one image is loading in my Loader object. If i click on next image button. It starts loading another image without canceling the existing image. So mutliple images appear at stage in this case. I want something that stops loading older image and start loading new image.
I'm not talking about taking the button and fiddling with the way it is. I have an animated glowing effect in both movie clip and graphic and all I want to do is have it play, overlapping the button's over frame. However, everytime I enable simple buttons, neither work. Is a code needed?
Also I need to know how to have my glowing effect to repeat in a specific way. The animation has an intro and a loop. I want it to end by going back to where the loop is to continue looping rather than going back to the intro where it would spantaneously pop up (should I use a generic gotoAndPlay (framenumber); code?)
I am working in Flash CS4 and am having an issue with my animations. I create a simple tween and press the enter key to play the animation but it does not play. Instead the enter key just toggles the timeline scrubber on and off. When I play the SWF file there is no animation either. If I manually scrub through the timeline the animation appears to be playing correctly. I am simply placing a box on the stage and moving it from left to right using a classic tween. I have tried shutting down and restarting my PC but that does not work. This just started today and was working fine up until today. I am unaware of having made any changes to preferences or anything. I have reset the Essentials view but it is still not working. When I hit CTR ENTER I can step through the frames one by one using the . and , keys on one of the animatioins, on a second one when I step forward a frame the box I am using disapears.
I've recently began using Flash, and came across an error which I'm afraid I've yet to resolve.While animating some text with the use of masks, it becomes blurred, like this: URL..As you can see, the first text - videos - has no problems, while the second text appears blurred. In the animation, the same happens.
I'm not only new to the forums, but also rather new to AS 3.0, so this might be something really simple but I can't seem to figure it out Basically, what I'm trying to do it make a photogallery that's essentially a grid of thumbnails. When the user rolls over a thumbnail, I want it to grow in size just a little bit and when they click it would get much larger.Now, that part is simple, but when all of these size changes take place, I'm trying to make the other thumbnails get out of the way, instead of the usual overlapping that would occur. So my question is this:Is there some simple way to change the properties of those thumbnail MCs to avoid overlapping at all costs, while remaining on the stage? Or would I have to animate every possible combination separately on ever possible thumbnail?
I just started to make flash animations using Adobe Flash CS4, but there's something I just don't understand. To create an animated object, I know I have to create a new movie clip symbol, animate it, and then put it in the main scene. But when I drag the symbol from the library to the main scene, only the first frame of the animation is copied! How can I copy the entire animation of a movie clip symbol to the main scene?
If I have a couple of animations in a single folder, it doesn't look like there is a way to animate the folder as a whole, so is it possible to group all the animations somehow and animate that?
I have uploaded my Dreamweaver CS5 web site and the flash/swf files don't appear.What files are suppost to be with exported swf files when uploaded so they appear on the web on my web site
i am totally new to flash and want to ask Is it possible to create complete flash animations in .net platoform with C# by using the flash APIs. Can anyone explain how it is done(which apis tools needed) and provide/link to some of the examples.
I made an animation. I made a seccond animation that was suposed to go right after the first. I made a scene 2 and when I copy the frames over it says: Resolve liprary conflict, One or more library items already exist in the document. Replace existing items or dont replace.
If I replace the one works right but the first doesnt. If I dont replace the first one works but everythings all messed up in the other one. Is there a way to combine the 2 animations together?
I am attempting to make a very simple Final-Fantasy-style fighting game and I am just having a little trouble getting the player (MovieClip) to play different animations while he is doing different things I have the concept down the player has a layer that splits up the different sections of animation, but in my code in an ENTER_FRAME looping function when I say[code]...
I bought a package of animations that are stored on the server of the company i bought it from. Now i'm trying to embed the animations in flash. I used this steps that the company gave me.
I have two movieclips on stage (red_mc and blue_mc). I'm attempting to have blue_mc fade in first, then when it's finished, I'd like red_mc to fade in. Why is the following code not working? ....
import fl.transitions.*; import fl.transitions.easing.*; function doBlue(e:TweenEvent = null):void {
[code]....
In another file, I have four movie clips: blue_mc, yellow_mc, green_mc and violet_mc. The idea is to make blue "invisible" to reveal yellow and back with keyboard command. And switch from green to violet and back with keyboard command. Problem is, one keyboard press switches both blue to yellow AND green to violet. I'd like it to happen sequentially ... meaning first keypress switches blue to yellow only. Next keypress switches the green to yellow only and so forth.
Subquestion for #2: the way it's set up now, it requires a keypress to switch BACK from the second color to the first. Ideally, I'd like to put it on a timer so that one keypress, turns blue to yellow, waits 5 seconds and resets back to blue. Next keypress, switches green to violet, waits 5 seconds and resets back to green.
// shows blue and hides yellow, switches at key_down yellow_mc.visible=false; stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, hideShowBlueYellowKeys);
