My target MC jumps back and forth when it reaches the endX and endY.?
Code:
movement = function (moveIsActive, target, endX, endY) {
if (moveIsActive) {
a = Math.atan2(endY-target._y, endX-target._x);

making an object move from one side to another by using actionscript. so now i was wondering how to make the box get back into the same place as it started when it reaches a certain point.
dding the code to this AS i already got:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
speed = 5;
this._x += speed;
}
[Code]....
instead of moving to 'distance' and staying there, the MC moves back and forth once it reaches it's destination. this is because even when _x = distance, the first if statement (_x<distance) keeps executing. At first I thought this didn't make any sense, and there has to be a reasonable explanation. I've managed to isolate and even solve the problem, but the mystery remains:
[Code].....
Been a while since i touched actionscript and forgot a simple If statement using _x. THis is the code that I have.
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
this._x = this._x +.5;
}
Now when this._x reaches 400 pixels on the screen, I want it to return back to zero. How do I do that again?

When it reaches frame 20, it goes back and plays at frame 5. Then it keeps doing this. To me this is harder than it looks
I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.
View 3 RepliesI have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline. I feel like I am so close.
Also is this an ok way to set this up? I couldn't figure out how to do it in one frame. I didn't realize this basic framework was going to be so difficult.

View 1 RepliesIt's a simple animation. Rectangle with a med. quality blur filter & 0% opacity tweened several frames later to med. quality blur filter & 80% opacity. This is a normal motion tween. So what it does is fade in, fade in, fade in...then oops! - jumps to 80% opacity. The last frame of the tween is 80% opacity, but the frame before that is significantly lower in opacity. So for some reason it's jumpy.
This was happening to me before with a different .fla when I had one blur filter on low quality and the other on medium. But in this instance, both keyframes have the same quality.

View 8 RepliesAfter last update of flash 10.1.82.76, the game that i play has a chat screen and as soon as it fills it jumps straight to the 1st line of text. It would normally continue on with what was typed next and continue to auto-scroll down.
I have spoken to another user who is using win7 (not sure bit type) and browser was chrome.
I am using win7 64 bit and ie8, so it appears win7 is the common denominator.
I do have an xp pc but i choose not to try the update until i came here 1st
I have movie clip, when I go into the transform panel and change the rotation, the movieclip jumps a size down, then rotates.
View 1 RepliesI can make "normal" preloaders work, you know, with a bar that goes up and all. But I'm curious about a preloader wich jumps to a different frame in lets say "loader" MC. I can't really explain so here's the code that I thought would work:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[code]....
and so on...
I need to create a button which will be on a MovieClip. The Movie clip contains columns and rows of data. I want the button to be able to take you from the point on the MC where the button is down a few rows to another point, this would be similar to creating an anchor text in an HTML document, but I don't know how to do it with AS.
View 4 RepliesI have a lot of external SWF files loading into my flash site using one UILoader on different labeled sections. I used only one UILoader component (with the same name) and then kept on scaling and repositioning it on different labeled sections. Everything worked fine until the very end for some reason some of the UILoaders jump to its own position and I can not seem to do anything about it. I can not figure out where the mistake could have been.

Is there an option for the user to type in a search word and it will go to that item? In Visual studio I have an option for this. Currently the way it works it only jumps to the first letter of the word, kind of a intellegent search.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make simple continuous animation on y axis.
The problem is that the animation is not smooth!!! It has jumps and hiccups. It is hard to see in the beginning, but once you see it, you can't get rid of it.
Here is an example:

Having a really nasty problem. Been "googling" for answer for some time, but no solution so far. My flash app is quite simple. A flash app which uses locally stored XML to create UI and stuff. XML is quite large, but still quite manageable (5mb) Loading XML is pretty standard & easy. No problems here. Making a preloader is easy too. But the problem is:
While testing movie on (flash 8 dev) local machine, I cant get no preloader working. Stays at 0 and instantly jumps to 100. Problem can be bypassed on Flash 8 by setting download simulation on, and after that it works fine. But after you have published your application IE does the same as testing the movie in flash 8, basicly the whole browser is frozen for couple of seconds and then instantly jumps from 0 to 100.
If this is not confusing enough I tried my published App in Firefox and voila, preloader worked like a charm. Preloaded smoothly as silk. wonder if there is a solution? Why Firefox and IE differ so much? I been thinking if the problem is that in IE "locally stored" xml is streamed so fast that UI has no resources to update, but why on earth Firefox is not doing the same?
I'm using the code below on preloaders
loadedbytes=getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes=getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes=Math.ceil (loadedbytes/1000);[code].....
It doesn't always show all of my preloader, ie: by about 25% of the preloader animation it jumps to the movie. I still want the preloader to play all the frames before it goes to the movie regardless of download speed. Also sometimes it sticks on the final frame of the movie for a few seconds and then jumps to the main scene.

View 2 RepliesI have a dial that can be rotated and scrolls between 40 and 210. At the moment, this works all the time. Is there a way of getting this to work only when a button remains depressed?
I've set up a movie clip containing a button that jumps to frame two when pressed, and back to frame one when pressed again. SO the dial needs to work when the movie clip (containing the button) is stopped on frame two, but not on frame 1.
I'm developing a site that has different pages on different frames. My buttons work correctly, and go to the correct frame, however, if I press it twice, it jumps to another frame. I have the actions to stop at each frame and this is the code I am using for the navigation.

I'm dragging a movieclip that has the visibility set to false. I can trace the x and y of the clip and it is definitely where the mouse is. However, when I toggle the visibility to true, occassionaly it flashes on at the last location it was visible, just for a brief instance, before teleporting to the mouse location.
View 2 RepliesWhen drawing on the stage, any upward movement of my scroll wheel scrolls the screen by at least half a screen width, if not more. Scrolling down works as normal, equivilent to a few lines at a time.This problem seems to only exist in Adobe Flash. No issue in Chrome, Adobe Reader, Inkscape or any other program I've run. I've attempted to adjust the mouse settings, but they have no effect. Even disabling verticle scroll does not nothing. Currently I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 6000 with Windows 7. I've tried using other mice and they've suffered the same fate. I've also tried updating the drivers as well as cleaning them out and reinstalling them. Nothing works. I've googled and searched these forums but have found nothing related to this.
View 10 RepliesI have an animated MovieClip of a fly that spawns at a random location and moves across the screen by bouncing off the walls. But every time the animation starts over, it seems to "jump" to a random location. Here is the code I have for when it spawns:

How do I fix it so that the fly continues moving in its appropriate path every time the animation starts over?
