Loading stuff in levels ( MovieClipLoader.loadClip(picOrSwf, 1); ) and want a -for to do- loop to make them all _visible = false; but can't get it to workfor (i=0; i<total; i++) { _root[_level+i]._visible = false; } is the closest I got. (_root[_level+1]._visible = false; DOES work, but is no good of course).Let me know if this outlines my problem goo
View 4 RepliesI don't have an incredible amount of experience with flash, but I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here. I have about 10 buttons here (although I only show two in my code), and rather than listing out long lines of code, I figured it should be relatively straightforward to put it in a for loop...but its not working for whatever reason.
Rather than do
ActionScript Code:
hide = function () {
account_btn.enabled=false;
account_btn._alpha = 0;
[code]...
I have the following code below. Is there any way to shorten it by putting it in a for loop. I want all values to be false, apart from go2 which will be true
Code:
var goArray=[go1,go2,go3,go4, go5];
var go1:Boolean=false;
var go2:Boolean=false;[code].....
i have a loop that moves a game piece every time a dice is tossed using tweens (i loop the movement the amount that comes out on the dice). it all works fine.
the problem is that when mid movement i need to ask a user a quesition with a popup movie with buttons that would determine the movement - i cant pause the loop.
basically i need to know how to put a loop on hold until further user input
if i have a loop that increments a number by one until it hits a predefined amount- i want to pop up a menu that would ask the user if he wants to continue incrementing the number by 1 or by 2. I still want the loop to run a total set amount of times (lets say 100)
Loading Images in _levels via loadClip. Now i want 2 buttons on TOP of the Images. So first tried attachMovie _level 200. Did't work (don't ask me why since all logic says it should. but I'm guessing a difference in loading between loadClip & loadMovie). Now made 2 swf files with just the buttons and load via loadClip. Works fine BUT... now I can click then. tried stuff like:
Code:
_level200.button_btn.onRelease,
_level200[button_btn].onRelease, _level200["button_btn"].onRelease, _root[_level200["button_btn"]].onRelease
You get the picture. Any solution to this?
I have a loaded SWF file in _level1 that has audio in the timeline. I am trying to control the volume of this loaded SWF with a 'mute' button in the main SWF file. On the first frame I'm using the code:
my_sound = new Sound(_level1);
and then on the button script I have:
mute_btn.onPress = function(){
my_sound.setVolue(0);//mute volume
}
but it's not working. Is the new Sound(_level1) not valid?
how I can center a swf, when I load it into a _level?

However I am using embedded .swf files, and the scrollable image I want to control is on _level10 (within a master file _level0). I am decent with actionscript and based on tests with the example file, I know the code works. BUT my problem is getting it to function within a different flash level. I'm about 99% sure it isn't working because the code is looking for my movieclips or the scroll function on the main timeline and not that of _level10, but I can't figure out where the code I need to change is. Its driving me crazy.Here's the code (from the above link). This goes into the main timeline, where "area1" is the movieclip you hover over to enable the mousewheel and "mc1" is the mc that is moved by the mousewheel:
Actionscript Code:
// IMPORT import FlashCommon.MouseControl;import mx.utils.Delegate;Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";// ADD SCROLL FOR AREAS - addScroll(id, mc, function)//// adding scroll
[code].....
I am loading an external swf into the mc 'image' using: image.loadMovieNum("portfolio/100_design/1.swf", 1);
Every time a new image loads, I want it to load the level above, ie: image.loadMovieNum("portfolio/100_design/1.swf", 2); Is there a way this can be done dynamically. For example, "current level + 1"
why my MC actionscript with loadVariablesNum("submit.php", 0, "POST"); don't wanna work if I loaded into other _level...
If i don't loaded it work well... but not useful
I have loaded as2 swf in as3 using Loader object. Loading is done fine, but the problem is that the as2 swf uses stuff like _root, _level1.. etc. that doesn't work in as3. So is there any way by which I can make as2 swf work properly inside as2? I have bought some readymade as2 swf and need to use them here. I dont have the as2 fla so can't make any changes in them...
View 9 RepliesI want to create an array of object so that I can store the _level I want to load image at specified level and and to keep track of levels in an array so that when any new image will be loaded I can get location of previously loaded image and place the new image before the last image
Code:
loadMovieNum(_global.myXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].childNodes[5].childNodes[0].attributes.path, 178);
_root.mcTray._alpha = 100;

_level178._y = 620;
i read about the tutorial on loading external swf into levels. I have the following codes in Layer Frame 1:
Code:
loadMovieNum ("World.swf", 1);
_level1.gotoAndStop(2);
stop();
When i execute this code, world.swf is loaded, but i cannot get it to go to frame 2, and even if i use _level1.stop(); or _level1.trace("HI");,
I have attached a zip file which has a main.fla and a folder pages which contains 2 fla's p1.fla and p2.fla.The main page loads the first page which is p1 and as the main page has 2 buttons i am using _level script to know which page to load, actually i wanted to create 3 buttons. Since i have already created 2 buttons the first page automatically loads but when i click on the 2nd button it does'nt the p1 page goes but it comes back again.In the main there is a movie clip which has an instance name of page_mc and the code inside it is:
Code:
nextpage="pages/p1.swf";
loadMovieNum(nextpage,1);
b1.onRelease = function() {[code].....

Well that doesn't work, for some reason, i can't use a string as a multiple level path..
It has around 7 different movie clips in the library. I was originally going to put one clip per frame in the master timeline and have some sort of pause sequence to play them one after another. What I ultimately want to accomplish is to have these clips play one after the other without having to click any buttons, so basically straight through.
View 1 RepliesI've recently made a website for a friend and she wants a video to play on one of the frames. It is in the library and the video plays when i test the movie on my laptop, however, I have now uploaded the .swf file website to a host along with the video and it isn't playing. Any ideas how to sort this out? Not completely sure myself! Using Flash CS4 with Actionscript 2.0 if that makes any difference to anything.
View 9 RepliesI'm making a presentation in Flash that needs to be put on a DVD, which we will given to people in my organization to view at home. The presentation will not contain any interactivity. It will have text, music, video, and narration.
The videos will be short and contain sound, should I embed them in the fla file? I planned to break the presentation into scenes to make it easier to manage, and so they'll just play one after another. My computer can burn DVDs, so I was just going to export the swf to DVDS.
Assume the main time line is A. On A I've got movie clip Z also On A . I've got movie clip B and inside B I've got a movie clip C (I need it to be this way because it soft of a TAB meanu).My problem is the actionscript written in C makes few objects called planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 on A function well. But when I move planet 1, planet 2, planet 3 to a movie clip (planets_mc) it won't function! How can I put planet 1,2 and 3 in to one mc and still make the actionscript in C work?I've used the _root. command in the script C. Hope my question is clear enough!

I believe it has something to do with the array, considering it works when I remove the array stuff. What i'm trying to do is to be able to move objects through an array with my gravitate() function in the Grav Class.
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,onLoop, false, 0, true);
for(var i:uint=0; i < numParticles; i++){
var p:Grav = new Grav(5, 0xff0000, Math.random()*250, Math.random()*250);
addChild(p);

I have a simple graphic in Scene One which when you mouse over it, it changes to Scene Two where there are several round buttons that people can navigate with. What I want is that when the mouse is dragged away from the stage where the buttons are in Scene Two, you are taken back to Scene one. I can't seem to work this out. I only to want to go back to Scene One when the mouse is completely out of the SWF.
I made another button and made a square hit point that covers the stage and put that on the level above the other round button levels but this then doesn't allow you to activate and click the buttons underneath the square button. I just want a rollOut when the mouse comes completely off the SWF back to Scene One. Am I missing something?
I bought this template, and am trying to make some of the pictures when clicked have hyperlinks that go to other websites, i am turnong the picture into a button and adding this code in the action script [code]

More specifically, I'm just converting a video into FLV using the Adobe Media Encoder. I'm primarily a web designer, not a video guy, I've always just used the built in Insert FLV function in Dreamweaver to put Flash Video in. However, when autoplay is off I need to know how to control what frame shows up on the front of the video before it starts playing.
I've got a question/request concerning my first flash website.If you look at my site you will see 4 .swf's loaded in from the sides. This effect is made possible by Jquery script. But because of lack of compatibility with Opera & Internetexplorer. I have to integrate this all in one swf. But I've got not a clue what kind of code I need to make this effect working.So to be clear what I want is Containing 4 swf's 25% height & 100% width. The slide in function is something I also would like to have (but maybe that's asking for just to much). If you want to see the code of the actionscript from the swf''s you can check it out at the included zip
