I've got a couple of movieclips (CII_mc and CV_mc) nested within another movieclip (IntroMenu1). CII_mc and CV_mc are scripted to function like buttons. I've made a separate hit area movieclip (hitArea_mc) to assist the user. The code for the hit areas is below:
[Code]...
I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
I have an application whose dimensions are larger than the user's screen resolution. Typically, when adding a popup I would call popupManager. addPopup() followed by popupManager.centerPopup(), but this could cause the popup to be added outside of the user's visible area on screen.Is there a way to add a popup in the middle of the user's current viewable area instead?[code]
View 2 Replieshow you can make it so that the user can press a button to save a specified area as an image so that they could email the image to someone?
Background... the user will be able to change and create their own picture and then they want to save the image they have created.
I need to know how to script the drawing board as in the user can only draw on a specified area. For example, on a 800x600 layout, only 1/4 of it is the drawing board.After the user has drawn the image, when he/she clicks on a button, the image will be replicated on another area in the same 800x600 space. So far, I can only manage to make a drawing board on the whole 800x600 space and erasing.
View 2 RepliesI have a strange issue- I use a title window to create a message to the user. The user has the ability to move the title window around the screen so that the main screen is visible.However if the user were to move the title window way too much, it can actually go outside the browser accessible area- the user has no option but to close the browser and start again. How do we ensure that the title window movement is limited, such that the title bar is always available for control?
I might not have worded this right- pls check the attached image.
My goal with this actionscript is to create a new movieclip for each top-level XML node and include in the movieclip two separate textfields, an image, extend the movieclips to two row if necessary, rotate each movieclip differently depending its parity and add a hover event based on the movieclips instance name. I have achieved each goal except for the hover bit. The reason I cant access the instance name outside of the for loop is because the instance name only lasts for duration of the loop. Here is my current code (at pastie address).

View 3 RepliesI have a small project that requires me to decompile a few SWF files in order to make some modifications to them. However, I do not own any Flash decompiler software.
I have searched for a freeware but, unfortunately, I cannot find one that outputs the FLA file.
Can someone that has a license to a Flash decompiler software please assist me and decompile the files so that I can work on them ?
I am looking to take a movieclip that has been added to a container, and display that on a seperate movieclip. I have an animation that stops randomly on one of these clips, with a button that lets the user move to the next page if they like that selection. I would like that selected movieclip to display in another movieclip on this next page.[code]

View 1 RepliesI recently started working in FDT (used to work with FlashDevelop) and I encountered a very strange problem. When I make a new project everything is fine, I can code without problem in as3 and also using the flixel engine is no problem. However, as soon as I checkout a project from subversion, the code assist breaks. The code still works, the program executes without errors. But instead of giving me a few option when I type "FlxG." it just gives me a lot of options regarding 'metadata'. I have looked at a lot of places but I can not find the answer anywhere.
View 1 RepliesI am extending TextField to create my own implementation of it, and there are some properties & methods I would like to simply remove from use, eg:
override public function setTextFormat(format:TextFormat,[...]):void{}
I would like now to hide setTextFormat from code hinting, so when, in some other class, I type:
var t:MyTextField = new MyTextField;
t.set
And hit ctrl+space I only see setPropertyIsEnumerable(...) and setSelection(...), no trace of setTextFormat(...). But no matter what I do it still appears, I tried @private metatag in asdoc, as well as some made-up (like @remove, @disable, @ignore, @deprecated). Using [Exlude] doesn't work either as, afaik, it works only with mxml. Is there some way to actually accomplish this task? Or am I forever left with useless and redundant code? Some plugin maybe? (I know I can just leave it as is and don't double methods, but, nevertheless, I'd rather have it my way)
This code doesn't seem to be working and I am wondering if I am using the if.. else if.. logic incorrectly:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function():Void{
if(this._currentframe > 1946){
_parent.slideTo(slideX[3], slideY[3], 1, "easeInOutQuart");
[Code].....
This code is meant to assist the fast-forward and reverse buttons catch actions that occur on the timeline as they travel along skipping 15 frames at a time, but the actions are not being caught for some reason.
Im trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:
[Code]...
I am building a gallery that displays images. There is a gallery movie that controls which image is displayed. It is on level 2.
The images are on loaded in movieclips onto level 3. What I am trying to do is create back and forward buttons that load with the images.
What I'm trying to do is get the button that loads with the images (on level 3) to send a command to the movie clip on level 2 top move forward twelve frames.
I've tried using currentFrame to get the clip to move forward, but it I can't get it to work properly. Here's what I have (this is all AS2 in CS4):
(this is on the button on level 3)
on(release) {
_level2.clip.gotoAndPlay(currentFrame + 12);
}
What seems to be happening is the currentFrame is being defined as the frame on level3 that the button is on. Flash takes that frame number, adds 12 to it and then moves the clip on level 2 forward that many frames. So if my button on level3 is on frame 2, the clip on level2 gets moved 14 frames.
What I need to happen is for the currentFrame to refer to the current frame on level2, not the current frame on level3.
What I need to do is assign 5 separate dynamic text fields to 5 seperate buttons and at the same time to those same five buttons i would like to add 5 images that i would be able to change merely by swapping out the images in the file theyre in on the server.I would also like to get a nice transition between the images...ALSO i want to dynamically load the images for the buttons that will be used for switching from picture to picture(which im thinking i will be able to do after i know the how to do point the aforementioned things.)
Through tutorials I've found around the net I've been able to get most of the parts together... but i get lost because what they show you for AS2 they don't for AS3 and vice versa, at least that ive seen.so... I guess my question is... would i need to set up 5 seperate dynamic text fields on the stage and then set each one of them to one of the corresponding button. If so what AS code would i need to use to do so. And if not what would i need to do?
The other part of the question would be I know about the UILoader... would i be able to use it as my buttons and images, if so would i need 5 seperate ui loaders for both the Thumbnail buttons and the images or is there a way that would be better to do it? and once i do that would i do the transitions using frames and tweens like with AS2?
I'm fairly new to flash so please excuse my lack of knowledge...using AS3 basically I had a situation arranged where when a button was clicked and flash would then display a certain image by jumping to a label on the timeline, and by clicking a different button a different image would be shown. this was working pretty well but for layout reasons I had to split these buttons and the timeline that they relate to up into separate movie clips. obviously the buttons dont do anything now, but what i'm hoping to find out is how I can link these items back up despite them being in separate movie clips. is this possible? i'm just wanting them to do the same thing they did when they were both in the same movieclip.

View 4 RepliesIf I create a new flash AS3 file and create two blank keyframes in my actions layer I can add actions to each keyframe separately no problem. I can then easily switch between the actions frames from the menu bar on the left of the actions input panel. However if I try and do this on any of my projects i've been working on for a while when I create a new blank keyframe in the actions layer and try to add actions to it, I get sent straight back to my first actions keyframe and not a nice blank page. Can I even apply seperate actions to seperate keyframes?
View 6 RepliesThis is NOT the same as my last thread as i am after three and NOT ONE as last time. In the attached movie there are three seperate movies loading into three seperate tweens. Please note that i am happy with this movie as it is, and do not want to change anything about it except for the script itself. It refurs to three seperate clips "b.a","d.c" and "f.e". What i want is for the script to incorperate all three clips under one name of "mc" And instead of have three seperate widths, "width 1","width2" and "width3" i want the script to also incorperate all three widths and heights into just one name of "width" and one name of "height".
View 9 RepliesMovieclip I want to fade out: "StartupText_mc" Within "StartupText_mc" I have a frame labels "normal" on the first frame and "over" on the last. On the actions layer I have "stop();" on the first and last frame. On the third layer I have a simple alpa tween from 100% to 0%.
Now, Back to the main scene where the button "ProductMarketingIcon2_mc" and "StartupText_mc" exist next to each other. Here is the code I have for the button:
[Code]...
I have a movieclip button with the following actionscript (which I have on the main timeline above my MC layer):
movieclip1.onRollOver = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("normal");
}
movieclip1.onRollOut = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("hitout");
}
movieclip1.onPress = function(){ movieclip1.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
This works perfectly! My movieclip button takes up the whole stage but I don't want the whole stage to be my hit area (which right now it is). I was searching and I found this actionscript: hit._visible = false;
this.hitArea = hit; The tutorial said to make another layer inside my MC, then add that code. But when I play my movie, I can still see my green square (which was supposed to be my hit area) and it does nothing!
I'm new to the forum my name is Chris. I'm currently working as a Graphic Artist for a company called TransTech Systems in Schenectady, NY [URL] I registered today Im trying to figure out. I need to disable the hit area of an object thats part of a movieclip button. Im trying to create a single image light box effect in which the blown up image closes when you mouse off the thumbnail. Here is a link to my movie [URL] If you click on the pic of the gauge you will see the image blows up, and the background fades to a transparent black for better contrast between the pic and the page. I need the background fade effect to not have a hit area otherwise the rollout action does not work.

I've got a movieClip that's scrolling across the stage that loops nicely (kinda like the many cloud animations out there).
I've set the clip up to stop it's scrolling on a rollOver, and start up again on the rollOut.
My problem is that after the rollOut the loop doesn't work. The movieClip just keeps travelling.
