I want to make a save the position of a movieclip. I have a dragable movie clip, and I want to drag it and when I play the movie again, the movie clip is where I drag it for last.
View 3 Repliesi have a pie chart with clickable sectors. when you click a sector it jumps to the next frame on a movieclip and changes colour. I want to use Local Shared Object to save the frame position so when i come back to the swf later on the sectors of the pie chart are saved.
View 16 RepliesI have a small problem with my fullscreen mode.It enters fullscreen mode nicely when the user click on a button and exit as well when you press the"esc" key (which is the standard). is there a way to track when i exit the full screen because i want to make some MovieClip to re appear at their initial position.
View 1 RepliesI have recently followed a tutorial to make a movieclip in flash that makes buttons spin around a point depending on the mouse position. I have made my own version off this and would like to use it in a full flash website that i am making at the moment.
The only problem that i am having is with aligning this clip and as it is made up of script i cant physicly drag it to were i want it. I understand how to alighn this with x/y positioning but when i preview the flash in a web browser it is positioned correctly but then when i 'full screen' the browser this clip jumps about 4 inches down the page.
I added a Menu_mc on my stage. Initially, this should be at the center of the stage and when I click on it, it will tween on the upper left corner of the browser. However, when I resize the browser, the Menu_mc goes back to the center of the screen.
I have tried separating a different actionscript file where it is specifically for initialization of the object and another one for resizing. And then when I call it on my main AS file it goes like this:
Code:
// Add the symbols to stage
var Menu_mc = new Menu_MC();
addChild(Menu_mc);
[code]...
But it seems futile.
Is there any way that I can enable users save the position of a draggable box (for eg with cookies) and then press a button to reset the MC back to where it started off?
View 3 RepliesI'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,followCa t);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,follow Cat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat );

setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position within a movieclip called background
Code:
background.redsquare.x = 300;
background.redsquare.y = 300;
comes up with TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
setting a position of movieclip called red x and y position withen a movieclip called background
Code:
redsquare.x = 300;
redsquare.y = 300;
This works fine but how can that be when surely you must access the red withen the background rather then just accessing red?
I've got a video I'd like people to be able to navigate away from in my project, but resume where it left off if they come back to it. I would think I could do this by just saving its current position when they exit that frame as a variable and then using .seek() to go back to that spot if/when they return.
The only problem is that I can't find any script to capture the current position. I tried .time, but it gives me an error.
I'm trying to write a XML file to save the position and size of the app window in it. I'm running into this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. MainTimeline/setupWindow()[code]
View 1 Replieslets say i have a sprite on the stage and one movieclip inside it. now i want to tween or just set that movieclip x and/or y position according to stage position. so for example i want to set mc.y = - 100; (by which i mean -100 to stage, not sprite which mc is in.)
View 2 RepliesWhat i'd like to do is have a menu/site map that adjusts when you click on a certain icon. For example, I have a AS3.0 flash file with, say, 5 keyframes with 5 buttons that are in different positions on each key frame. The buttons are set to gotoAndPlay the various keyframes. I can set up a tween that links frame 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc. but what I would like is a tween from, say, 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, then 5 to 1 - basically in a random order rather than sequentially through the key frames. I could set each of these tweens up individually but the site is for a portfolio that I would like to keep adding to and to do this individually would mean an ever increasing amount of tweens.Basically, is there a way to get a 'MovieClip' to move from Position A in keyframe 1 to Position B in another keyframe without a set of tween frames? I'm sure this is simpler than I am making it sound but I don't seem to be able to work it out.
View 1 Repliesusing the following jumpTo script as a guide how do I write an if statement for a function that will basically ask "if the movieclip is at position 3 stay there, otherwise jumpTo position 2"?
Code:
var bg1x = new Array(0, -1280, -1014, 0);
function jumpTobg1X(number) {

FileReference is great, but what about downloading an image rather than uploading? Is there a way to do this in Flash 8? Say, being able to save a certain movieclip as a JPG? Or rather BMdata of that movieclip as a JPG?
View 6 RepliesOkay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
I have a movie clip called "myMC". I set its x value as such:
[AS]
var myMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(myMC);
myMC.x = 100;
[Code]....
I know I could proboly acheive this with a math equation but is there a function that can get the exact global position of "myShape"? So that I can position another movieclip or sprite around that movieclip?
I just finished a simple music player... For testing purposes. I upload it in the following address:http:[url]....with 10 music songs that I had recorded from radio stations(added the last 2 twice for testing).The problem is that when a song has totally loaded, stop action taken needs about 1 second to be applied!I.e. When I press "STOP", the sound continue to play for 1 sec before stop. When I push "pause" it takes one second for the music to stop!
However when using resume (second time pause) the sound starts instantly! Thus I guess there is an issue with stop()function of the SoundChannel object that I am using to stop the sound. Also notice that when unpause the music, it continue ~one second before the last sound - which means that I saved the soundChannel.position number (and also call soundChannel.stop()) in correct time, but it didn't stop immediately - bug!?
This only happens when the application runs through a browser(plugin v. 10) - programmed in CS3.
PS1. Notice that ,this also happens when I change Volume too. Thus because Stop and Volume are parts of SoundChannel, I guess there might be a bug with SoundChannel in online plugins..... :/
PS2. Notice that ,this also happens when I close the browser (firefox). Even if browser is closed the music continue for 1 sec the same way as when pressing stop!.. Thus I guess it's flash bug!...
is it possible for me to give a movieclip the same position as another movieclip. meaning they will be on top of eachother and when one moves the other moves as well.i know you can do it with the mouse:[code]It would be a great way to cheat the program as im having some problems, but this would fix it. the 2 movieclips though is in a class and the other is on the stage.

how to make a swf to take snapshot and save it as jpg?
View 3 RepliesI want to create a clip dynamically (for example with createEmptyMovieClip) and after assign object and motion to it, save or export it as a .swf file.
View 1 RepliesI've managed to make a snapshot and have it display on my stage.
View 3 RepliesI'm using my dynamic library to load all the photos & descriptions from an XML file. The photo upload is being done by a PHP page that edits the XML every time I upload/change/delete any data. The problem is, the *.swf seems to get saved, and doesn't check the XML after the edit is being done. (it works fine if i load the page again from another PC). How do I make my swf not getting saved with the loaded content? I just want the applet to load + check the xml + load everything written in there every time any PC loads it.
Here is the *.fla.
album.zip
The XML looks like this...
Code:
<photos><image><addr>
*photo name textnode*
</addr><desc>
*photo description textnode*
</desc></image></photos>

View 3 RepliesHow to "save as" a movie clip from flash (swf) as a picture to pc (jpg, gif...)
View 6 RepliesI'm not quite sure how to ask this question. What I'm trying to do is have an element on the bottom of my page that will always stick to the bottom, but if the page is too short it will be pushed down by the other elements on the page.
The left side middle graphic and the right titles are all contained within #mainBodyContent. If the browser window is small enough that this div runs into the "Latest in Geek" flash box, I want the flash box to be pushed down. However if #mainBodyContent isn't running into the flash box, I want the flash box to stick to the bottom in the place where it's at currently. I'm rather confused as how to pull it off.
