I have traced out all the info and it is good. Now why won't my FOR loop write it out?
//a_groups_mc.a_group2_mc._visible=false;
//a_groups_mc.a_group8_mc._visible=false;
for (L=0; L<myLetters_array.length; L++){
a_groups_mc.eval(myLetters_array[L])._visible=false;
}
I save my (embedded) fonts in an external file (fonts.swf) that gets loaded at runtime. Pretty standard. I also use a bunch of UI artwork generated in the Flash IDE. Some of this artwork contains static textfields (thus, not proper TextFields that can change. Just frozen glyphs). Here's the problem: if I use the same font in any static textfield and then embed that same font into my collection of runtime fonts, the runtime font will refuse to render. It's the same effect you get if you set a textfield with embeddedFonts=true to use a font that isn't embedded. If I change the static textfields to use a different font, the runtime fonts work just fine.

I'm working with Flash CS4 on Windows Vista. I made a simple animation. Then, I added a top layer for ACTIONS and added functions at the last keyframe.
The function is-- stop(); --
Should not be hard, could not be more basic then that! Well, it doesn't work. Animation still play as loop.
I have several SWF files which are essentially little trivia files, provided to me by a 3rd party. They are individual files that number about 20. I am wondering, how can I play this as a list; like a playlist, and then loop back to restart? I'd like to do this in the stand alone player however it can only seem to load 1 file at a time. How I might look to accomplish this looping playlist?

View 1 RepliesI have a presentation, that plays a sound loop, over and over throughout the movie. On the first frame of my Main movie timeline....I have this code:

firstSound.setVolume(myLoopVolume);

Well, without, the volume control MC, the fade out works....perfect...depending where it is on the time line...when it reaches it , it fades. However, with the volume control, fadeout doesn't do anything.....
Like every other time I've had the displeasure of having to work with Flash, I feel like the best rule is to have a good bottle of whiskey on the side. I'm getting into CS5 and have a really complicated question here: how do I get this program to let me see what it is I'm actually working on? You know, the main point of being in here? I can't find a solution in any of the drop menus, have been in and out of the various workspaces, and in each instance I get everything except the most important element, which is the stage. Where the hell has Adobe hidden this thing now? It was here a half hour ago and has disappeared.
View 1 RepliesI'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...

I am putting together a small slideshow of pictures and it's only about 350 frames. I haven't worked with Flash since version 4.0, so I'm still trying to figure out Adobe's setup. 4.0's setup was so easy when it came to replaying a video once it hit the last keyframe, but I'm so lost in this ActionScript stuff.
How do I get the video to loop back and start playing again automatically?

View 4 RepliesI've just started learning as3 and I've been trying to find a good tutorial on dropdown menu's using just xml and as3.

View 2 RepliesI've only used flash for 5 months now. As you expect, i'm a super novice. I've been trying to follow the books, tutorials i fould on web and was able to make some nice animations,buttons and stuff. But i'm not a programmer, i never been one and i just don't think i got the brains for it. I just know a little bit. Like i said, it's only been 5 months so i only know how to change other's script to suit mine, i can't create any complicated from top of my head. My question is...do I HAVE TO be an expert to make websites with Flash? After all, i'm only learning Flash so I can make interactive websites. I'm not looking forward to making games or drawing boards or anything. Just websites. How much knowledge of Actionscript(or XML) would I need to make a flash only website?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a menu that has multiple movie clips as buttons and control them all with an array and one event listener. There will be many movieClip buttons on my page but for now I have two animated movieClips each with a stop(); action on fram one. The movieClips have 15 frames of animation. The main timeline of my movie has only 1 frame. Each movie clip is on it's own layer. If I create an event listener without the array I can get the buttons to work individually but when using the Array I can't get it to work.
Code:
Select allvar buttonArray : Array = [btnA, btnB,];
for each (var button : MovieClip in buttonArray) {
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleMouseEvents);
} function _handleMouseEvents(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
When I use the trace function instead of gotoAndPlay(1); it works perfect?
Code: Select allvar buttonArray : Array = [btnA, btnB,];
for each (var button : MovieClip in buttonArray) {
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, _handleMouseEvents);

I have a movieclip tweened of a lightbulb bright then fading. 50 or so instances are placed within another movieclip and given instance names of bulb0 to bulb50. I have a stop action on the first frame of this movieclip.
Other animation within the main movieclip is activated on rollover and I have used actionscript to place this main movieclip on the stage and to control the other animation within it.
Within my external as. I have an array as follows:
var bulbclips:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint; i < 58; i++) {
bulbclips.push("winNav.bulb"+i);
