I'm trying to get in the habit of using AS in the first frame on the main timeline as much as possible. but sometimes i hit a snag. like getting a movie clip to change it's alpha when it hits a certain frame in an attached MC.
View 8 RepliesI'm new to action script and was wondering how to change the alpha of a movieclip from 0 to 100% gradually or instantly when the mouse is moved ( like the navigation bar on a media player) when the mouse is still i want the alpha to be at 0, i am totally new to actionscript but am familiar with code syntax.

View 4 RepliesI am making a quiz/game, and it works like this, two teams that have to take over the united states, by answering history questions, so right now I have it were when you click on a state, it takes you to a question (on a different frame in the main timeline), then I have a problem, if you get the question right it takes you to the "board" of the United States (that works), but when you are back the color of the state should change its color to red (on frame of the clip) if south got it and blue (another frame of the clip) if north got itBut instead i changes back to grey (default color, all start grey to begin with). I don't and can't seem to figure this out
View 2 Repliesi have a thank you message that shows after my form mailer is sent, then about 10 frames play for a short pause which shows the thank you message. how can i make the playhead goto a certain frame once it gets to the end of the timeline? i thought it would be related to onclipevent but i couldnt find anything relevant to what im wanting to do.

View 3 RepliesQ1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
I am building a small flash application. In my application I've inserted an fla video. the flv video's length when I open it in vlc player is 16 seconds (after I edit the speed of the video in an external program and then converted it back to fla). When I open it in flash cs 5, the video's length is back to 90 seconds. I guess it's got something to do with the frame rate of my flash project. I'd like to be able to change the frame rate of only the movie clip containing that video, and not of the entire stage. How is that possible?
View 1 RepliesI've got a problem with a game I am creating, I want a movie clip to play once when my character hits it, it has a stop function at the end of the movie clip, but as long as the character is on top of it, it continues to loop, how do I get it to stop at the last frame?
Here is the script applied to the movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.bubMC)) {
play();
}
}
All I've been able to do was make the last frame extremely long and load an alternate movieclip without the hittest function applied that runs the animation.Essentially, I am asking, "How do I make a piece of actionscript run only once", like:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.bubMC)) {
play(ONLY ONCE BUT AFTER THAT DON'T DO IT AGAIN);
}
}
The _currentframe property is readonly, so how do i tween between keyframes in a movieclip?

View 2 RepliesIm making a game, where a player controls a character moving around the screen using the mouse.the player moves using a tween, using the current x y pos and the click x y pos to move the character around here's the thing, i have objects on the screen (such as rocks, etc) that i do not want the user to be able to walk through. i do not want to use hit test to simply chuck the character off the object in real time because that's messy and it would mean the tween continued and stuff.. instead, i want to add some code to the top of the "movePlayer" function that checks to see if an object (such as some rocks) is going to be hit, and if it does, i want the tween to only go to this point (yellow in the below diagram)
Here's what i mean:the player clicks on the screen ( the blue dot) and instead of walking straight to the blue dot, the code determines the point at which the player will hit the big orange block, and only tween to that point, if there are multiple orange blocks in the way, the tween will stop the closest block.
the conent will not be able to be seen unless the user hits the arrow keys on there key board. So i need to make a group of objects i can make into a movie clip and than inside that movie clip make an animation that plays the squirrel running. i will pause here to ask two things i dont know how to do i want the squirrel to have an animation when standing still where it flicks its tail (like a real squirrel would). and also how would i flip the squirrel so when the left key is pressed it points left and when the right arrow is pressed it faces left? and my main question when it reaches the edge of the stage the extended background that runs off stage moves over to reavel more content. as well as not have the squirrel run off stage? in short i am using the squirrel to view the full pages content.
View 2 RepliesIs there any code that basically says, if root frame = 2 then do this.. I basically need my movie clip to blur when the main scene hits certain frames. The movie clip pans around though with script thats why i cant just add a blurred image to a layer in the main scene.

I have 20 frames on a timeline, and a mc in the frames. Frame 1 the mc is _alpha 0%, at frame 20 the _alpha is 100%. A tween between the frames fades up the mc alpha. How can I change the frame 20 _alpha setting from outside the swf file? Say I need the alpha to be 60% at frame 20 BUT I can't open up the FLA, can I adjust the Alpha setting (using Loadvars perhaps) without going back into the FLA? I won't have access to the FLA (when the file is online) and I want to be able to manipulate the frame 20 _alpha setting. I have tried doing this totally in actionscript and not using the timeline, but if I can't get that to work I will need to be able to adjust the alpha parameter without editing the FLA.

I've attached a movie clip using the attachMovie method. I was wondering if it's possible to handle the attached movie clip... I don't know if I'm expaining this correctly but I'd like my movie clip to perform some simple actions (gotoAndPlay, Stop)This is my (lame) script:
//Ataching clip
this.emptyClip.attachMovie("photo001","Img001",get NextHighestDepth());
//Action for the attached clip
this.emptyClip.gotoAndPlay("starting");

Basically its an onPress event handler on a movie clip that attaches another movie to it when pressed.The problem is, I only want the movie clip to be attached once in the designated x,y coordinates, no matter how many times the main object is pressed. I'm essentially trying to write my own FreeTransform script, that allows users to resize the object.
Below is the my source code:

View 2 RepliesI currently am creating a game where you shoot at targets that randomly appear. I have them set to be randomly generated via an attachMovieClip object, and all works well... EXCEPT that whenever it generates the clip from the Library, the instance is WAY above the rest of movie (layer-wise)!
This means that my custom-crosshairs cursor, for instance, is always behind the target and thus the user cannot mouseDown and shoot it.
I have an AS3 project (publishing to FP10) where I load a custom made window from the main movie. The custom made window is saved in the Library and has a close button (called exitinteraction_btn).
I manage to load the window from the main movie with the following:
var WinA = new windowa(); addChild(WinA); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "x", Elastic.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true); var myTween:Tween = new Tween(WinA, "y", Strong.easeIn, 175, 175, 5, true);
This is the code in my custom window (which I cannot manage to close and have it remove itself from the main movie when clicked):
exitinteraction_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, closeI);
function closeI(e:Event):void{ this.unloadAndStop();
}
I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1006: unloadAndStop is not a function. at windowa/heyb()
How do you remove each attached/duplicated movie clip on the screen?
Is there an easy script for this?
