i went through the tutorial for the actionscript text effect... and i got it to work... but now i want to put it into a project as a movie clip, so it loops, but i can move it freely as an object... but when i put the whole thing into a movie clip, it only does the letter in the text box that i animated, and it only runs once...
View 2 RepliesCS3 Flash - Complete newbie to Flash and I'm trying to change an existing flash piece.It consists of 4 different text statements that appear on a Black background - the first appears and stays on-screen for 10 secs, then it starts to blur and fade away in about a sec, and then the next statement appears, etc, etc., and the whole lot loops.The 4 statements appear as Video Clips (Symbols?) in the library.I need to add a new statement, which means there will be 5 statements. I duplicated one of the library items and renamed it, which seems to have worked fine... but I cannot then work out how I insert that video clip into the Timeline and still have the same visual effects and timing as the existing ones? I can insert a blank frame, but then I can only drop the new video clip text onto that one frame.I've tried copying and pasting a whole set of frames, and then go in and change the text. Which I thought had worked, but then discovered that it also changed the original frames.... now understand that's because they are just instances and any change will affect the master Video Clip!
So can anyone advise if I can insert my newly added and renamed video clip into the timeframe and create the same effect as the others?Please keep any advice as idiot-proof as possible as this is my first venture into Flash... not finding it as intuitive as I hoped, spent 6hrs to date just trying trial and error without any real success.
I want to be able to make a movie clip (that acts as a button) so the roll over effect finishes before the roll off effect is triggered. Like if a marker circles a button, i want the circling animation to stop before the roll off effects happens. Anyone know how to do this.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set a special roll over effect for a movie clip i created. all i need to do is this: when i roll over, it should play from frame 2 and stop where i told him (at frame 5) when i roll out i want him to play from frame 6 and stop where i told him again. (at frame 10). i already did this with no problem except this: my movie clip has a very complex animation i created with other movie clips who works frame by frame style (actual animation). the problem is this: when i roll out after a short time (about half a second) the flash jumps to the rollout part of the movie clip and shows the rollout animation but doesn't finish the rollover animation, what makes the animation to jump (the animations i use is a bit long).
so i'm trying to see if anybody can explain to me how do i make this jump get out of my flash animation. what i mean is this : if i rollover the mouse and stays on the movie clip, the rollover animation is played and when i rollout out of the movie clip the animation continues as usual (this is something i already accomplished). but i want to make this a bit more complex : when i rollover and than right away roll out of the movie clip i want the flash to play the roll over animation and right after that the rollout animation without stopping .... ' i hope i made myself clear with this problem .... for some of you it may seem easy (using some action script tricks or something) but I'm only a beginner who's trying to figure it out ....
I'm not sure if this is being done through AS 2 or 3, or without code altogether. But, can anyone tell me how to create the rollover effect seen on this site (left hand side menu)?:[URL] I'm working in AS2, as I am not very familiar with AS3. I was thinking the effect might be created with a mask or some kind, but really not sure.

I'm looking to create a simple effect using AS2. I need to create a rollover effect on a movie clip that would in turn blur out of focus everything else behind it (Not selected).

I've imported 9 .mov files in my flash presentation. Each lasts for about a minute, and the language is english. I have translation of each video clip in Serbian language as .txt files. And now i need that text to go below the movie clip simultaneosly with the voice in movie clip. And for example when i press pause,the text stops,and when i resume it,the text goes again.
View 1 RepliesWhenever someone clicks on a nav button, the corresponding .swf file loads into a blank movie clip I have on my home page. What I'd like to do is have the content on the current page fade out before the content on the new page fades in. I've used Flash for years, but this is the first web site I've built entirely in Flash, and I don't quite know how to approach this. I'm assuming ActionScript would be the easiest and most efficient way to produce this effect, but I don't know how to go about doing it. Is there a way to tell the current movie to go to a certain frame in the movie and play it before loading the next external movie clip?

i have a dynamic text field that loads a variable into it (just a simple text file). this text file will be updated on occasion. i also have a movie clip to be positioned below the text field, however i want the movie clip to change position depending on how much text is in the text field so there isnt a large gap and so they dont overlap. is this possible? i tried the following actionscript to adjust the size of the text field depending on the amount of text. textField2.autosize = "center"; however i have no idea how to get the y position of the movie clip to adjust accordingly.

Hi, I'm making a simple target shooting game in Flash CS3, and need to know how to make it so when you click on a movie clip, it adds 1 to a dynamic text box reading 00.
View 1 Replieseveryone seems to have problems with LoadVars() (porting text from a server-side to FLASH). I've managed to get that working. HOWEVER, even though the text shows up fine in the SWF, I want to be able to do some sort of tween to it (example: give it an _ALPHA of 0 and then bust it up to 100 when i want it to). In the attached .FLA, there are two boxes: one is the MOVIE CLIP (a text box under) and the other is a text box. the text box outputs fine, but the MOVIE CLIP doesn't do anything.
Here's the code (actionscript):
Code:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function()
