I wasn't sure how to name this thread to well. Here's my funk: I have made a photo slide show and all works well for browsing and viewing. Where I got stuck was when I tried to write code that would center images that were vertical. This is the entire code on the empty mc that has it preload, display then adjust the x of the image. Now, with this code if the image is vertical it flies off the right of the page. haha. sounds fun eh?
Ok. I have two MCs. One a red ball, another a blue. On the red ball, (ball_mc) I have keyboard movement with the arrow keys. I also have the fallowing code on it:
I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)
I have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.
I want to duplicate an MC every 5th second, so I came up with this code:
Code: i = 100; p = 0; onClipEvent(enterFrame){
[Code].....
I know this doesn't work, because onClipEvent only works on buttons or MCs. So the question is: is there an onTimelineEvent or something that'd work on the timeline?
I registered because this forum kept on popping up when I asked google my actionscript questions.
I'll just come right out and admit it, I'm a noob. I am making a website with a bunch of buttons on a menu bar. When you mouse over a button, a submenu of other buttons pops out of it. I use this code.
[Code]...
The parent buttons are movie clips, and the sub-buttons are on later frames.My question is this: how can I delay it so that you have to hold the mouse over the button for a second before the button's playhead goes to its next frame?
Ideally, I'd like to have the playhead go to the second frame immediately, to change the color of the button on mouseover, and then have a delay before frame 3, when the sub-buttons start to appear.
i had four "widgets" on the screen that i had following around another "master" movieclip but repelling from oneanother...initially i used this code in each clips timeline:onClipEvent (enterFrame) { and then set their new _x and _y depending ont he position of the master and other widgets.this worked fine... however i wanted to dynamically generate the widgets so i could have as many onscreen as were present in an array on my main timeline.i have been able to generate the clips fine, but i cannot use [onClipEvent (enterFrame) {] on them as they are in the main timeline! if i set up a "cheating loop" and run it through 200 times updating the widgets movement and they move to their correct position..
I have a whole bunch of onClipEvent(enterFrame){} events going on. Would taking all that code and putting it into just one mc's onClipEvent(enterFrame){} function lower cpu usage? What is a good way to have enterFrame functions die if not needed?
I have 5 nav buttons. The first two have sub sections. (1st one has 2 elements, 2nd one has 4 elements). The way I set it up, each of these buttons checks on the _y position of the button below it. I then use a move function with inertia to move the bottom button, and all buttons on top of move along with a springy feel. Also, when these move, I show the 2nd frame of each of the buttons in the corresponding section, for it shows the text of each button. This is the way I am doing it right now (By setting everything in one enter frame function it seems to run a lot smoother than when each element had its own enterframe function for just one line of code):
I am using the following code to load my flash file, contact a php script and decide what frame to play based on the results. THat is all working fine, the problem is that when the animation starts from Frame 2 - gotoAndPlay(2) - it seems to repeat a few frames over and over until the whole animation is complete.
I have done some reading up and the enterFrame is called many times so I can understand why the problem is there but I don't know how to resolve it. The interesting thing is, when I just use gotoAndPlay(2) in the if loaded section, it all works fine. It's only when it's in the onLoad for the loadVars that causes it to break. Using: Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0
I have this code on my MC. I just want to know if what i'm getting is correct. I have this to get the date, day, month, year...you know the drill, but i can only get the complete date to display if I use onClipEvent(load). (enterFrame) won't work, and i just wanted to make sure there was a reason behind it. Is it because I'm using arrays? check out the code. I do not want to majorly change the code if it can be avoided...
I coludnt stop the function after n=>5 . I tried removeeventlistener. it didnt work. the code is giving error each time it enters a new frame.[code]...
This is my AS code: onClipEvent (enterFrame) { this._x = Math.random()*2+90; this._y = Math.random()*2+60; this._alpha = Math.random()*30+50; } It is applied to the movie clip. I am having trouble figuring out how to STOP to action. I want it to stop after 10 seconds. How do I do this?
Simple really. This event handler tells 3 different movie clips to play forwards and backwards depending if the main movie clip has been rolled over. This all works fine... what I can't seem to work out is when the movie clip is clicked I would like this event to stop and become disabled.
I made a movieclip with 5 frames inside. Well, outside, when i push a button stop, runs the code: this.movieclip_name.stop(); , but, doesnt stop. Inside these frames there is a enterframe function that call drawing api functions.
I am trying to figure out how to get an enterframe event listener to stop. I created a simple example below, where a line spins around on stage until the user clicks on it. When they click on it, the user should be jumped to frame 2.
Here my attempt at creating the Kirupa's Spinning Images gallery. I'm so damn close it somewhat works, I'm still having trouble with the rotational calculations. Not sure, but I think I might be passing the wrong values from the onRelease to the enterFrame loop?
spin3a.fla var world:Array = []; var rotate = 0; var fl = 1000; var clip; function spin() { [Code] .....
I have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.
I created an full flash template website loading external swf.Lately, I managed to add a fake3D rotation with AS3 and CS4 to this global template with an enterFrame.some of my external swf use a vertical scroller also using an enterframe function base on the x / y position of the mouse, the scroller dont work anymore.Can't an enterframe swf loads another swf with enterframe function?
I have an interactive flash application that I'm building, but it's gotten kinda large (~200k) because of one large png file. So, I want to build a preloader for it, but I seem to have some difficulty getting it to a) stop looping back to scene 1, or b) look good if I use stop();
for some reason, the folowing scene's moving elements look crappy if I use stop(); in it's first frame in order to stop it from going back.
I don't want scene 1 to continuously reappear, but stop messes with the moving elements in scene 2.
I have successfully stopped a loop in one of my layers but it also affects other layers I don't want it to. I have a layer of moving clouds I would like to continue to animate during the playback.
Is there a way to have a stop(); apply only to one (or more) layer(s)?
How to stop for loop in AIR Aplication...Whether it is possible by using another event. for example start for loop is running.IF i click pause button then if it should be paused before ending the for loop....Are u understand my query..
I am having a bit of trouble getting my for loop to stop What I want to happen is when a button is rolled over it gets a movieclip from the library (not on the stage previous to rollover) move it the height of the movieclip up on the y axis as well as fade in and stop on roll out do the opposite, except if you rollover and rollout to quickly I don't want to mc to show at all.
Works like a champ, but as I traced it I noticed this occurs about 15 times a second (15fps).
This seems like a ton for overhead computing to me, and was wondering if I could just grab it initially on the enterframe and stop. I only need to know once in the frame when it changes (on the entry of a new frame).
I am using File Uploader Guys...FOr that each and every time i read some data using for loop and i write it this happens only inside the upload method.My question if i click pause button that is sepertae event na..How to stop the for loop in upload methid
im trying to make a website in flash andd everytime it just cycles through all 4 pages in a loop. if i redo the entire site it will work if i test it but as soon as i go to file save as and save it as a new name it goes back to looping and cannot be fixed unless i redo it again. i have 4 layers and the first frame in layer "action" has stop(); as the first line. the syntax is correct and i get zero errors. [URL]
I have created an animation with a number of layers - some have movie clips and some are frame by frame animation. It's 60 frames long and loops. When I put a preloader in at the beginning and put a stop action on it the stop action stops all the frame by frame animation. How do I get just the preloader to stop (and not loop)?
I am producing a banner ad and I need to have this 15 second animation loop two times (for a total of 30 seconds) and then stop. If this does call for AS?
