I'm looking to make a continues ring of imags that will load from a XML file. So the Flash will have 8-12 images displayed verticly and will have a auto rotate at top and bottom.
View 2 Repliesim following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier.
so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:
Below is the function I use to remove the swf which holds an FLVPlayback component and the button that runs the function. The function stops the video then removes the swf. The swf disappears and the sound stops but if I look at the task manager I notice the video is still loading usually at about 1 meg every 5 seconds. I know I'm supposed to be able to use the closeVideoPlayer method which should stop the netstream but I don't how to make it work
function goHome(e:MouseEvent):void myMovie.stop(); this.parent.parent.removeChild(this.parent);// myMovie.closeVideoPlayer(0); meCombo.removeEventListener(Event.CHANGE,

I'm loading words from a .txt file to a Flash crossword puzzle. It works perfect locally, but has trouble when uploaded to the web. Sometimes it works, but usualy has trouble loading the words. Is there a way I can check if the text file words are loaded before it continues with the game? This is what I'm using code: loadVariables (myDomain + "words/" + myPuzzle + ".txt", "");

View 1 RepliesHow can I get a random point within a ring? Like, the space between two concentric circles. I make the circles in code myself so I know the radius, etc. This is for a game I am working on where I am spacing the enemies out in waves, or different rings spaced from the center of the field. I was thinking the only way is some kind of loop that checks points or something. As3
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a flash navigation widget for this site: [URL]. As you can see, when you click on one of the buttons on the ring, the ring rotates down to the item you selected. This was accomplished with the Rotation Smooth - Helper component that I got here: [URL]. My problem is that the component is quite limited in functionality and doesn't work as expected. For example if you click on the "Download" button, and then back on the "Products" button, the ring jumps back to that location instead of rotating back smoothly.
View 5 RepliesMy button doesn't have a blue focus ring around it, even though it has focus. I've got a component with a RadioButtonGroup and a Button. After a selection is made in the RadioButtonGroup, focus is switched to the Button. I added click="focusManager.setFocus(myCloseButton)" on the VBox.
After, a radioButton is selected, if the user clicks the spacebar the Button fires. So, as I understand it focus was switched to the button. But, the button doesn't get a blue focus ring surrounding it. How do I get the focus ring? I have visible="false". I turn them to visible, after some effects are finished. So, don't let that throw you.)

We've got a project in our ActionScript class which is a TOKEN RING or on how the token ring works. Now, our teacher just gave us 2 weeks to finish this project and he doesn't even started teaching the basics of actionscript that's why we really don't know how to start this project. Keep up the good work. What I really need now is the code in actionscript.
View 3 RepliesI have this problem...no worries it is only about ActionScript! I have created two movieclips: one is called "sun_mc" (with a nice smile) and a ring of sunrays (short and long ones) called "ring_mc".the ring is situated around the sun.
The user clicks the sun and drags to rotate it.The user can click the ring to rotate that too.When the sun is rotating...the ring should not be...and vice versa.
I have three problems...
1) I can't get the two mc's to move independently 2) When rotating the mouse position always jumps to a certain point on the movieclip...not the point where you clicked it first 3) The ring is also rotating when the mouse is outside the ring...
What should I do?I tried to obscure a part of the ring_mc with some masking...That didn't work.Should I try hitTest? And how should I do that? That only works with squares doesn't it?
[Code]...
1. I want the user to be able to activate a ball (ball_mc) which will rotate around a circlular ring (ring_mc).
2. I want the user to be able to control the speed or tempo at which this ball moves around the ring.
3. One rotation of the ring will equate with a bar of music. Therefore the user should also be able to decide on the beat length of the ring in musical time i.e. 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 12 beats.
4. On the ring the user will also be able to place movie clips which represent percussion sounds (duration_mc) and I therefore also want the ball_mc to trigger the percussion sound when it encounters the duration_mc.
5.I want the percussion sound triggered to be determined by the colour of the ring_mc and the user should be able to drag different coloured rings on to the stage. I have created an empty movie clip called canvas_mc to house the rings and I have seven different coloured rings which will each have a different associated sound.
I'm trying to make a program that grabs info from a text file then uses the info in the file to assign where certain balls will rotate (eventually I'll configure it to looking like dots rotating around an invisible sphere)Now, I can do these two things separately, load info from a file and make blue balls rotate around given points... but I've been tripping up hard on making them work together, and I think my problem is in how I handle the events and events listeners to work with the code, you'll need to start a new flash AS3 file Then on the stage create a circle with the oval tool convert the circle to a symbol named "BlueCircle" and name the linkage class as "BlueCircle" then paste this code...

I am trying to get a flv video to load on top of a parent swf. (A pop-up within flash). What I chose to do, was to put the flv player in a swf and try to load and unload it with the parent swf. This works great except when the child unloads, the music from the flv keeps playing. I am wondering if I have to do more than just a simple add and remove child. Here is what I have to load the swf when a button is clicked:
Code:
var movieLoader:Loader = new Loader();
playMovie_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMovie);
function showMovie(event:MouseEvent):void {
movieLoader.load(new URLRequest("memories_vid.swf"));
addChild(movieLoader);
[Code] .....
Once it plays the outro animation into empty keyframes. Every attempt I have made to removeChild has not work. I still have the audio from the flv playing. How do I get "close_btn" to stop everything and to completely unload the swf?
Into my main SWF, I'm loading an external SWF with anUlLoader component. This external SWF plays an FLV using thatrespective component. Everything works fine, except that when Iclose the external SWF from within my main SWF, the FLV audiocontinues to play.
View 3 Replieswhen i play the movie and click on any ball it shows the subpage one by one continuously rather than to stop as per the number of their page order.
View 4 RepliesI have an air project which every seconds reads a txt file. Depending on the content of this file it loads an external swf file (the contents of the file is changed from an external program periodically)Every external swf file gots a flvplayback2.5 inside which loads and play a flv video (everthing is done locally).
The problem comes when the contents of the txt file changes and I have to unload the previous swf and load the new one.Despite the new swf loades plays fine I can still hear the audio of the previous swf playing in background.For the project I used only one Loader in which i load the external swf files. Before loading another swf inside it, I call the Loader.unload() but no luck.I thought that this method would remove also the loaded object but the Adobe reference about the unload() method says:
"Removes a child of this Loader object that was loaded by using the load() method.The property of the associated LoaderInfo object is reset to null.The child is not necessarily destroyed because other objects might have references to it; however,it is no longer a child of the Loader object.As a best practice, before you unload a child SWF file, you should explicitly close any streams in the child SWF file's objects, such as LocalConnection,NetConnection,NetStream, and Sound objects.Otherwise,audio in the child SWF file might continue to play,even though the child SWF file was unloaded.To close streams in the child SWF file,add an event listener to the child that listens for the unload event.When the parent callsLoader.unload(), the unload event is dispatched to the child."
I don't know how interal structure of the external swf is,beacause the customer gave to me only the compiled swf (I guess there's not a lot inside that swf, i think only the flvplayback control, but if i don't know the name of the flvplayback I can't invoke any stop method on it).So, do You know any method to brutally unload the loaded swf, by destroying it,no matter where it hides itself in the dark and misterious jungle of the Flash Player?
I can't seem to remove / unload the external swf files e.g when the carousel.swf (portfolio) is displayed and I press the about button the about content is overlapping the carousel (portfolio) . How can I remove / unload an external swf file from the main flash file and load a new swf file, while at the same time removing garbage collection from memory?

My video continues to play when I click another button, I have tried using soundMix, but that cuts off all the sound to my other videos. Iam new and have been trying to serach for this problem for over 2+ weeks.
View 1 RepliesI have noticed a very frustrating error in flash lately. I will be watching a video in full screen mode...on any site...then all of the sudden, the video freezes and the sound continues. This does not fix automatically. I have to minimize the video from full screen to default size and then the video unfreezes and I can then go back to full screen mode.However, eventually I have to repeat this because the video freezes again.
This happens in Firefox 3.5.6 and Chrome 4.0.249.43. I am near certain I can get this to happen in any browser but I don't use other browsers to play videos so I have not tested my theory. All I know is that the problem is very consistent.

View 4 RepliesI am making a platform game in flash. I have a goal class (the class which contains code for the goal sprite, where when you hit it, it continues to next part of game). Inside the goal constructor, 2 event listeners are added, they are as follows:
addEventListener(Event.ADDED, beginClass);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, eFrame);
The beginClass function is fine, and only runs once, but eFrame is what checks if the player has hit the goal, so it is constantly running. The problem is, once the player hits the goal, eFrame continues to run, while in a menu describing the next scene to the player. My eFrame function is below.
private function eFrame(event:Event):void{
if(hitTestObject(_root.mcMain)){
var lastScore:int = _root.mainScore;
_root.mainScore = lastScore;
while (_root.lvlHolder.numChildren > 0) {
[Code] .....
Frames 2, 3, 4, are frames with just text and a button that display a message to the player, and then the player hits continue. My problem is that eFrame is still trying to be run, but the class has not been instantiated, and the method is causing extreme amounts of lag once the player continues.
