Is it possible to pass info from one movie clip to the next e.g.value of a Radio Button selected, can this value be passed from one movie clip to the next.I know this can be done in different frames in one movie but I really need to be able to pass it to a different movie.
View 14 RepliesOk, in a nuthsell I am looking to write a piece of actionscript using an included PHP file that connects to a mySQL databse. Depending on the result of the database, I want to know if its possible for the actionscript to then control a movie clip.Ok I'm probably not making an awful lot of sense, so I'll basicaly lay out what I want to perform (if it is at all possible).The flash file will essentialy be a map of the world and will list certain ports (i.e. New York Harbour, London Harbour, Sydney Harbour). The flash file then connects to a database to find out if each harbour has a sailing ship present. If a ship is present at the harbour, a movie clip of a ship would be turned on for that particular harbour, if no ship is present the movie clip would remain hidden.

I have a slight problem with my walls when I use hittest. In my game I have a sort of maze thing, which is navigated by a guy I nicknamed "Joe"I'm using hittest to stop Joe passing through the walls, and was having sucess untill I split the walls in half, so that the charecter wouldn't pass through it.
The wall looks like this: (if it was a diagram!)
-------------- Top movie clip
-------------- Bottom movie clip
I did this to stop the charecter passing through the walls, but when I try to pass through top movie clip, it lets me through, even though I coded to push the charecter away

The bottom code works fine (it's the same, but with a + sign)
I have been given the requirments to modify a website intro. Basically it has names fly in and out one at a time. Each name that flys in has some text effect on it. They had each name set up as it's own movie clip.
I want to make this more dynamic by putting the list of names into an XML file. Then after reading the XML file, pass each name one at a time into a movie clip. I thought I could set up several different movie clips for the different text effect and then randomly choose one.
I know how to read the XML file, but that's about it.
I need to know how to pass info into a movie clip. I need to know how to call random movie clips. And it would be nice to know how to make it loop through the names and have the effect appear on screen.
I have a flash as2 file which loads pictures into a thumbnail slider through an external xml file. when i try it out in my pc it works, images load perfectly and i can view the thumbnails, but when i contain the flash in a php and upload it, it stops working, the images never load.i guess flash has an issue trying to pass the xml info through php, i tried searching for compatibility issues but couldn't find anything concrete...

Hmm, I replicated this situation in a blank movie and it works as it should.
Essentially, can one swf on a page pass info to another swf on the same page (ie swf1 --> jscript --> swf[2,3,4] or swf1--> swf[2,3,4]??)
Given a web-page of somewhat standard design (menu options and a content area) where the menu options are individual swf is there a mechanism for letting the parent client know that a particular swf AS3 has received input?
Been puzzling this for a while. No F1 has turned up anything nor have general or forum searches. Didn't come across any output PARAMs (ala MS-SQL T-SQL). Did I miss them? NavigatetoURL() seemed possible but that either opened a new window (default) or using "_parent" just wiped out the current window contents completely. Using _parent with <framesets> pretty much resulted in the same wipeout.
I need to be able to pass information to an open SWF from another browser window.
Here's the ideal setup:- User runs a script in a new window- This script detects an already open window with the name specified (I give a name to the SWF's window using javascript)- The script then passes information to the open SWF and closes the current window, passing focus to the SWF's window
That's how I want it to work, but I don't know how (or even IF) I can pass information to an already open SWF.
I have a simple site made with python (django). User registers, inputs some basic info and it stores it to mysql. User then is able to log in with his username/password which he created...
Now i want to add a flex application which will run once the user is logged in, but i dont want the user to have to log in twice (once into django, once into flex app). For the sake of learning i just want the flex app to also load some information from the mysql database, like the users firstname or something.
how would i go about passing session information into the flex app?

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
Im able to link to a movieclip inside a movieclipUnfortunately one of the movieclips now are a scrollbar and scroll. Now the actionscript isnt working?cal.onPress = function() {gotoAndPlay(2);message1.contentMain.message.total = unit1;
View 17 RepliesI am pretty new to ActionScript 3 and Flash. I don't want my movie clip to play unless the person's mouse curser is on the movie clip for more than a second. If the person just runs their curser over the movie clips really quickly, then it should do nothing. It must be more than a second. How do I code that?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]
I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script

each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
i am making a pacman game, and i need to know how to make it go to a certain scence when a movie clip collides with another movie clip.
View 2 RepliesThere is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
I've got a main timeline .swf file called "blank.swf" which contains nothing but two blank movie clips one called called "pproduct", the other called "ppalette". In the script frame of this main timeline I use the simple "Loader = new Loader();" method to load a URL of an .swf file into the "ppalette" movie clip. The "ppalette" movie clip contains several color chip buttons, each of which use the same Loader method above to load an external .swf into a clip. Here's what I want to do: let those color chip buttons, when the "blank.swf" file loads, be used to load an .swf movie into the "pproduct" clip on the main timeline. I'm wanting to be able to swap depths with various movie clips which will take out the movie which has the palette, but I want whatever that palette has loaded in the original "pproduct" clip to stay there.

it seems simple enough but i have no idea on how i could get a movie clip to slowly move to the coordinates of another existing movie clip

<<<>>>> i believe that this idea is good , that i records the X and Y postion of the User's movie clip and just make the other movie clip points at this postion and move toward it ,
how to make the other Movie clip (( which is a car ! .. so it have acceleration , speed , steering , etc )) go to this position or let us say try to??
Q1) The registration point of a created clip is top left - my question is how can I dynamically change it's registration point - say to center center?
(I am trying to attach a movie clip to a created clip and I wanted it to be centered inside the container - a related sub-question, how can I find the x-y coordinates of the attached movie clip within the created movie clip?)
Q2)When I tried to create two different movie clips, I found I had to create them at different depths, else the first would load and the second would not. Why would that be so? I'm on MX 2004 Pro.
I have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.

I recently came across interesting banner that said something "You've been wasting time online for 4:30h do something useful finally, click here"What grabbed my attention, was that this flash banner actually got the time right, I logged in 4:30h ago. How did the flash know that? Is there a function that communicates with browser and checks how long it's been on? Javascript maybe? Same way it accesses getTime, getDate etc.
