View 4 RepliesI have a map of states state when a particular state is clicked on, the fla centers on and zooms to that state. When you click on a state a unique ID is pulled from an xml. Using this ID, I can then call all the counties that are part of this state through the county's xml which is also loaded on my stage.or example if I click on Arizona, it zooms and I get a trace of all the instance names of the counties within Arizona.
//call all instance names of Arizona counties
cldcnfips=(cntXml.Records.Record.(STATE_FIPS==cldstfips).afips.children());
trace(cldcnfips);

View 1 RepliesI have a flash and want to make it only visible when loading 100%. In frame 1 I write stage.visible = fault; or this.visible=fault;
it doesn't work ! the flash still display !
I have got some images that i have loaded flash from another website.
i have used the tween function to make it move about. i would like to know if there is a way to have many images in the same symbol and change there visiblility so that you can only see one at a time. when i use
Code:
_root.images.image1._visible = false
_root.images.images2._visible = true

This may well just be because it can't be done but here goes.Does anyone know of a way that I can make a MoviecClip "visible=false" whilst stopping just one of its children's, children's, children...etc from also going invisible.I am aware that it can be done by setting them all individually but this will take a lot of code (and I like tidy code...and I'm lazy), and I am reluctant to use a loop as it will interrupt the animation that is going on at the time.
View 2 RepliesIf there an object is placed on the stage named square and with the document class Main an object was added to square with addchild,if I wanted the square to not be visible but still be the parent while the new object added to square was made visible, how would you accomplish that?
My Trials: It seems if you set the parent to false visibility and then try to set the child visibility to true it disregards that request because the parent visibility overrides it, so the entire movieclip object remains completely invisible.It seems you can make a child become invisible while the parent is visible, but I want to do the opposite.
I have a simple FLA that pans through an image up/down/left/right. There are several hotspots (transparent buttons) that popup simple captions when the user rolls over them and launches a URL when clicked.
The captions are actually one caption that I dynamically write text to, size, and _x, _y locate when the rollover event occurs.
The caption (cap) is a rectangle and text box MC symbol which is grouped with the graphic and buttons as another MC symbol. It all works great, panning, captions.
The problem is, when the mouse is first moved, the caption box appears over the graphic. I want it invisible until a rollover occurs. I have tried a setup function action in the first frame that performs cap._visible = false;, which did not solve it. That syntax works fine following the first rollout.
on (rollOver) {
cap.desc.text = "Mr Reynolds";
cap._width = 7*cap.desc.text.length;

Is there anyway a Dispaly Object can make its parent invisble = visible=false,
But the child remains visible?
Just trying to save on re-writing a batch of code so its the normal parent child relationship.
I am creating a thumnail bar having the thumnail of the images, it has the default visible thumbs of 7 images, while the others must be hidden on the right of the bar. I used the code in AS3 to add thumbs in to the bar, the first 7 were fine, but the others still appearred visible and cover the bar border.My thumbBar is simply a rectangle and what i really did was to thumbBar.addChild(thumb). But all the thumbs appeared visible, first 7 thumbs stayed inside the rectange but the others were outside.How can I make the others invisible and turn them visible only when i use with the MouseOver Event.
View 3 RepliesThis is a very simple thing I want to do: show informational popups when an area of the screen is rolled over. I was able to get this working in action script 3 with MouseEventListener and the visible =true/false property but can't seem to get it working correctly in AS2.

Right there in the site. The problem I am having is that if I have this liveTEXT on say frame 100, and I go to frame 101, the text is still their overlayed over the content of that page. The text is called with this actionscript in frame 1:

Everything was working perfect until I added an invisible button to the first 315 frames and added the Link_1 clickTag code. We use an ad server so I have to use the clickTag code that they provided for each external link. I am not sure why it worked just fine before I added in the invisible button and now it does not. I am wondering if the Fire Animation movie (see AS3 down below) is somehow comflicting with the button being overtop of it?I used the Debugger and it says:[Code]....
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip named circle_mc(see the image on the link below) and a mask object(movie clip) which determines visible area of the circle. User can change the portion which is visible (extend the red area and make it red+blue, gray area is invisible). I need to find proportion of visible area to invisible area (red+blue/gray) so that I can calculate angle.
View 1 RepliesI am overlaying two textinput components and a UILoader component on top of a flash video. The three components retrieve data from the weather.com XML service and display current conditions for a city. As the video plays, the camera pans to another geographical location. Thus, I need to have the three components be visible only during certain frames. To this end, I've created the following if statement:
if(this.currentFrame>25&&this.currentFrame<150){
txtlowtemp.visible=true
txthitemp.visible=true
uicondicon.visible=true;
}
However, when I play the SWF the visibility of these components do not change.
For keeping the actionscript in the first frame; I'm creating buttons only in the first frame that doesn't change; but I want for some of them to be visible only in certain frames! Is there any code for doing that?

View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a invisible mc with in 2 other invisible mc's and if so would there be any complications. Im trying to do something similar and it gets to the second layer but then doesnt want to load the third inv-mc.

View 2 RepliesI want to click on an object and make it appear and disappear. As the object is rectangular, I figured putting a white button the same size on a white background on a layer underneath the object would do this, but I can't seem to make it happen.I'm a complete novice, frustrated as I've been trying to achieve this all day and I'm sure it should be pretty simple, but could you give me the idiots guide. I know how to name an instance, make an object, script in actions on a separate layer. I would like to draw the button myself and give it an instance rather than drag it off the button component (as I can't work out how to make the component button white, change its size etc.!)

View 3 RepliesOkay, this should be relatively easy but I'm running into errors. My main character is visible in the beginning of the game (where the main menu is) and because I coded it so that all of the enemies don't spawn unless the main character is visible, the enemies spawn too. As a result, if you stay at the main menu for long enough, the score continues to go up, the health goes down when enemies attack, etc.

View 2 RepliesI want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie
View 4 Repliesthere seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.
