If you go to [URL] and check out the preloaders on the various pages, you'll see that when it reaches 100% many circles are randomly resized to eventually cover the whole preloader. I'm trying to do something similar to that effect using just Actionscript.
View 1 RepliesI'm currently using a script I picked up from these forums to attach movieclips from the library based on how many child's there are in an XML document.I was wondering if it was possible though, to have each movieclip placed in a random location on the stage; but restrict that random location to a SHAPE I draw? For example if I drew a giant star, and wanted the movieclips to randomly attach anywhere within the boundaries of the star?
I know there are methods of restricting the random placement by using x and y values to keep it below or above a certain line, but is it possible to restrict placement within custom drawn shapes?
Here is the script I'm using atm:
Code:
function loadXML(true) {
if (true) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
title = [];
[code]....
I have a line randomly being drawn and moved across the stage. Here is the code:PHP Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var xValue:Number= 0;
var yValue:Number = 150;

how to take a display shape, and have the lines & fill randomly change colors? I'm sure this can be done
View 1 RepliesHi all.
I have a main swf which I load in a few different external swf. For each of the external swf I have resize handlers which make sure my loaded swf are position in the correct place when window is resized. It works almost perfect.. but let say 1 out of 4 times the resize handler stops and nothing happens. Why does it sometimes work only?
I know I should not have function within a function but in this case I do not know how to do it in any other way?!

I have designed a homepage that has 4 boxes on the right hand side that are of different size. I would like to have a movie loader that loads .jpgs randomly from a specified folder into each box. At the same time I don't want any repeats in any of the 4 boxes. Also is it possible to resize the images according to the box size without having to resize them outside of flash? I can have all the images in the external folder the same size, but then if I can just shrink them with whichever image falls into the box the random script assigns.

I was playing a flash game when a friend of mine showed me some Cheat Engine trick where you can search for integers in a flash game. eg your score is 100. To find the score, you'll need to search for the value 800 in Cheat Engineāthis is probably a popular trick nowadays.I've never played with Cheat Engine before, but I understand that it's a memory editor? I thought it had something to do with bits and bytes; 8 bits = 1 byte, but I'm not sure at all.why you multiply by 8?
View 1 RepliesThe scenario is that I am making a site mith multiply swf files that I want to be preloaded in the background. For example, when you are on the main page, I want page 2,3,4 and 5 to be loaded during the time you se page 1. so fi you klick page 2 the preloaded continue the preloading process,, for the rest of the swf files
View 6 Repliesi must load one swf and multiply it 3 times. The swf is loaded (it is more than simple ) but the main problem is how to multiply it. I can't find method like duplicateMovieClip(). I need the animation and it can't be done with just taking the BitmapData of the swf. I try with some searches but no result for now. I think it could be done with creating a class runtime if it's possible.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to control the blend.multiply transparency value?
code:
Code:

I know its kinda nonsense controlling this value, but what I m trying to achieve is a less "transparency" over the objects, but maintaining the multiply effect.
I have a point which is 3,5 I want to scale, or multiply this point, by a factor of 5. To give me 15,25 What I'd really like to be able to do is: mypoint *= 5; but that doesn't work. I can't find any suitable method in the point class either. So what I'm trying to do now, which all research indicates should work, is:

I have two swfs:application swf p2p client swf that allows to load data using rtmfp replicationtechnology (through cirrus service)The main idea is to have one p2p loader on the certain domain that will able to work in p2p network without asking many times for permission for each domain, so for instance:

I am working on a project where I need a lot of calculations.I found a really strange and very annoying problem in Flash: If you try to multiply 17.4*32.8 the result is 570.7199999999999 !!! This is just a single example.In this way my application looks buggy sometimes. What's the reason for this wrong result?In my application I don't want to round the numbers .

View 1 RepliesI'm working on some photo manipulation stuff and have multiple images loading and displaying ontop of each other, each with various blendmodes set e.g. overlay, multiply etc.
The problem is it is sooooo slow! I thought I might be able to optimise it by drawing the resultant image to a new bitmap using BitmapData.draw (so sort of pre-baking the effects). The problem is (as I understand it) blendmodes are not draw when not on screen, so I can't use this approach until I've added the images to the screen at which point it has already slooowed down.
what i want to do is to preload some images, then multipy them on my scene ( the files are transparent png containing clouds ) the problem is that when i copy the bitmap data to create a new cloud, i loose transparency, and i can't get WHY here's my code

I have been really strugling getting my buttons working. I have one scene that have multiply buttons that shows from time to time on the timeline. My needs is that each buttons when released goes to an specific frame number (label) waits for 5 sec and then continue playing the scene from were it did stop and wait.
I have mamage to make the first buttons work, but when scene changes to the rest of the buttons on the timeline nothing happends. I have tried to place actionscript on an actionlayer (timeline), also tried to apply actions to each button. Same problem. I use actionscript 2. All buttons have instance name, and they shuffle, meaning that they show and dont show depending were on the timeline you are. This is for an adult site, so I am not sure that it is allowed to post an link to the flash scene.
