ActionScript 2.0 :: Gettining Bullets To Work Properly?
Oct 21, 2011
I've got a mouse controlled person who fires circle bullets up towards oncoming enemies. but since i duplicated them, only the first bullet fired works as it is the only one that has the right instance name.What I mean is :The bullet is instanced bullet When it is duplicated to be fired, it changes to bullet1,bullet2 ect etc The hittest script on the enemies only reconize bullet, and therefore ignores all other shots except the first is there anyway of making it so it reconises all shots?

See the simple application created below. I have a RichTextEditor and a RichText component.The idea is to display whatever typed in the RichTextEditor in the RichText component. Everything else (I think) works except for Bullets! The conversion works as if bullets doesn't exists!

I am VERY green when it comes to flash and this is my first ever project. What Im trying to accomplish; *a website for myself that is "simple" and clean to be used as an art portfolio/gallery of my work. -three sets of buttons that go to three pages all with carousels that hold my artwork for that type (ie. press the concept art button and it loads page 2 where there is a photo carousel that containing my concept art pieces.
-clicking another button will then call for a new page with a new carousel (I have three types of art that I am showcasing: concept art, fine art, 3D game art)
I have managed to create a flash page that has my name and the buttons and upon pressing the buttons it goes to the page I need. However the pages are at the moment empty due to the fact that I cannot get the carousels to work properly. I have watched the tutorial and dl the class package on 3D carousels. I changed the .as file within the package so that my carousel will be vertical by changing imc.x = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450; to imc.y = Math.cos(imc.angle) * 450;

For some reason, the gotoAndPlay command in one of my frames won't work properly (I think that's the problematic command, but maybe it's another one in the movie).
Frame 1 consists of a button instance named "menu", which is a text reading "menu". When pressed, the animation starts playing and several menu options appear in a frame-by-frame animation, which lasts up to frame 7 where the movie stops.When the "menu" instance is pressed again, the playhead is released and the movie plays another frame-by-frame animation (from frames 8 to 16) of the menu options disappearing.So, in frame 16 there appears only the "menu" instance - just like in frame 1.
All of the above works fine.What I want to do is tell the player to go back to frame 1 as soon as it reaches frame 16, so the menu can open up again when the instance is pressed.I put this code in frame 16:gotoAndPlay(1)and it seems to be working fine, but when I press the "menu" instance for the third time (meaning, after it has already opened up and closed one time), the movie starts playing from frame 8 for some reason.

I am trying to sett up an workflow for a project. I am going to do the programming and a friend of mine the graphics.I would like him to be able to update the graphic on the final movie without the need of publishing the full project. We are sitting on different locations and usually work at different times. So i was thinking of making separate swf for each of the movieclips. And importing these at runtime.Then he could do his magic and preview this if he uploaded them.I have done some small tests and can't seem to get these imported swf to work properly. Should this work?Any suggestion on how to set up a good workflow for this project? Or at least what to search for.

Working on FL8 AS2 I've always had a problem getting the duplicateMovieClip to work properly... So here's my code:
Code:
for (i=0; i<_root.level.length; i++)
{
for (j=0; j<_root.level[i].length; j++)
{
if (_root.level[i][j] == 1)
[code]....
In theory...for each pass shouldnt it:Reposition block0's x and y duplicate block0 on that position.move on but it seems only the setProperty works because my block0 eventually ends up at the last position.

I had an idea for a navigation menu where I could press down a button and it would stay in its 'down' state. In addition it could be navigated by using the keypad and those buttons are used to call up xml images. Getting this to work has been more of a headache/challenge than I imagined. I'm fairly close, the code I have was suggested to me and it is getting more and more untidy the more I try to craft it to my needs. The problem I have right now is that when the mouse clicks outside of a button, it reloads the image (in this case firstImage.)
Code:
_root.onEnterFrame function() {
jms_btn.onPress = function() {

I am using Flash CS3 with ActionScript 2 and am having a problem getting getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal to work properly. Probably I am taking the reading in the wrong spot, but I can't figure out where I should be doing it. The code will read an xml file which contains pictures and url links to where I want each picture to go, and then loads and shows a picture for 3 seconds, then goes on to the next one. I am trying to show the preloader bar "LOADING" by adjusting the _xscale as a percentage of BytesLoaded/BytesTotal. The code should work, but my getBytesLoaded and getBytesTotal is either showing 0% or 100% and nothing in between. Here is my code and I have left some of my trace statements in the code below as well. The problem occurs in the this.onEnterFrame = function() which is about half way thru the code:

I'm trying to create universal loader of flash games on one entertainment site. What I want is to make some kind of container (SWF A) which will load another flash to it (SWF B) (by some params).
SWF B could be anything - AS1 / AS2 or AS3 flash. SWF A is programmed with AS3. Problem is that not all SWF games, which I try to load, works fine. Some games lost their click events, some games does not load at all, some games are corrupted. When I run that games separately (not using my loader), games work just fine. Why is this happening? Why some flash games are not working properly after loading by another flash?
I'm using Loader object to handle this, without any special settings - same as on examples on AS3 Bible book...

I have been working on a flash website and finished it yesterday, and among other pages, i have a gallery section. The gallery works perfectly on my local PC, but when i try to upload the website to ftp so I can put it online, the gallery shows completely wrong, in fact only one picture is visible. The AS code for the gallery is written in one movie clip with the instance name gall, and this movie clip is located in the actual page of the gallery, the one with the animation. I don't know if that's relevant, but i thought i should mention.I have attached a pic of what the right gallery looks like on my PC

I am using the DateField component in my movie dateField.swf. I am loading this movie into an empty movieclip in my master.swf. When I run master .swf the DateField component (residing in the loaded in dateField.swf) doesn't work properly! The dateChooser automatically opens up, which is good but when the dateChooser closes after I chose a date I can't open it up again! When I run dateField.swf on its own everything works as it should. And I have the DateField component also in both libraries. I have used the following code in the master.fla but to no avail!
empty_mc.loadMovie("dateField.swf");//this works fine
empty_mc._lockroot = true;

I have written a nested if statement that refuses to work properly. My fla file consists of the main timeline and a movieclip. The problem lies in the pwrbtn function. I need the pwrcomp Boolean to prevent the call to firstpage() from happening more than one time. However when I test it keeps cycling so my traces are frame2, true, frame2, true, so on and so forth. Have I just made some small mistake that Im not seeing?

I have a preloader which loads an external swf. When I test locally, everything works fine, but when I test remotely: Preloader runs.External swf doesn't load into preloader. I am using the contentPath to load my external swf, and the only as2 I am using is: on (complete) { this._parent.loaderPB._visible = false; this._parent.mcbgdloader.visible = false;} to hide the progress bar and graphic used in the preloader.
I hope I provided enough info. The preloader is a regular fla and the external uses screens.

I'm trying to set the alternatingItemColors for a custom MXDataGridItemRenderer and nothing seems to work. I've tried every combination of setting the property that I can think of, from the application,to the dataGrid, to the renderer, with every combination of autoDrawBackground set to true or false with no luck. Ultimately, I'm looking to use the custom itemRenderer, which has a set of semi-transparent primitives behind the label, with the alternatingItemColors to make the rows easier to read, but keep the style of the custom renderer intact.

I have a file with multiple buttons. The task at hand seems simple. Use eventListeners to go back and forth between frames. Here is the code I am using.

I've tried creating this project using movie clips instead of buttons, and it seems without a hit area the mouse_rollover doesn't work properly, it just flickers. All I'm trying to do is roll over the number have the background be a dark transparency and bring up the text box for 18 different numbers... Seems simple right? I've attached the current broken file for you to explore.

This is the code I use to run a swf that makes zoom on images:
<body>
<center>
<OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash
[Code]....
This code works properly in IE7 but in Firefox I have discovered that the images are loaded after than the swf. This swf file needs some parameters to work with the images, but if the images are not loaded previously then the swf does not work properly. In firefox, a page refresh is needed if the images are not yet loaded in the cache.
I have resolved the problem partially preloading the images in the previous page link using: <img src="imagebig.jpg" style="display:none;" alt="" width="781" height="1051"/> With this solution, the images are loaded prior to the swf loading.
