How do I tell the target to goto the tellers coords?
Code:
tellTarget("/Flame_" + (_global.numFlame-1) +"_mc"){
this._x = 100;
this._y = 100;
}
This is what I have and it tells the Fluid (the place where the above code is) to go to 100,100. that was kind of jumbled but I think I got it all in..
Waht is the right way to get 3D coords from 2D mouse coords using Away3D. (version 3.6.0) It's ambigoius problem in general, so there is restriction that 3D point belongs to some fixed plane.
There are some examples with camera.unproject and plane.getIntersectionLineNumbers methods, but they don't work if camera is rotated or plane is not trivial.
I am trying to create a jeopardy like game for my classroom. I have each of the questions on the stage with an eventListener on each one. This eventListener listener calls a function. My problem is trying to have the function go to a different frame according to which question is clicked.

I have a movieclip playing and when I click a certain button I want the movieclip to first play an "outro" animation (which is also inside the movieclip) then go to the real target of the button. For example, I am at the Homepage of my website then I click on the Contact button. The homepage will first go to Homepage's outro animation then go to the Contact page. I need the button to recognize the page/clip being played and the page it will go to.

Is there any way for me to move the mouse to a spot on the stage and determine what the x/y coords are? It's really hard writing some action script and just continually guessing what x/y coord i want until i get it close enough.
View 1 RepliesI have an mc that when I press a key it will either zoom in or out. Right now it zooms in/out, but it does with with the up-left corner as the point to zoom from. Can anyone direct me on how to zoom in/out where ever the mouse is relative to the mc? If the mouse is in the middle, then it zooms from the middle and so on.
View 5 RepliesIf you check my site I'm trying to make [URL] and click one of my buttons the menu/logo/music/.. will move to the coords..
Here's the script I used:
1st frame:
speed = 5;
Frame in which the action will take place:
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
[Code] ....
But if you try to click for example on the "contact" button and after "about" button you can see that my music button (right side) is closer to the main border... so why the mc's coords are little off if you had clicked different button before (or if the mc's coords are different than before)? [note that I need to use Math.floor and Math.round to make it look sharp and that the speed value is for all MC's number 5]. Also my MC location is set up to hole pixels..
I create a few squared sprites and then remove the first one and display the coords.[code] The x coordinate is still 0, though width has changed,getBounds shows correct values.I would expect x to change as well.Because of the wrong value of x, globalToLocal and localToGlobal work incorrectly.If you click somewhere on the left side of the second (still visible) rectangle you get: 2 28 (x=2, y=28)which is good for nothing. The values in brackets should be in stage coords and they are not.[code]
View 1 RepliesI've created a movieclip spawner class and animator class which animate movieclips along a set of x,y points.I've used Greensock's TweenMax to accomplish the animation and I have set the speed to be 1 second between each point. The issue is that when the distance between two points is small it looks too slow.
What I would like to do is somehow calculate the distance between the two points and output a speed in the range of 0 to 1 seconds so that the speed is to be correct for the shorter distances as well as the longer distances.
I have an image gallery that loads images/text through xml, but I'm having an issue with the scolling, I need to lock the ymouse coords right now it scrolls only on the xmouse, basically I need it to work in the scrolling area only, say 400width by 200height..

I've been working in CS5, with an older FLA I originally built in CS3. On the timeline, I have different MCs and button symbols which need to stay in the same coordinate position. Usually if I notice some sort of 'wiggle', I will go and check the position coords by hand, updating the x/y position by typing numbers directly in the Properties panel.
However today, I repeatedly saw the coordinates change -by themselves- after I typed and hit Enter. For example, typing '165' in the Y field changed immediately to '164.95'. With one symbol, this behavior continued, no matter what I typed, with the number changing by 10 pixels sometimes, every time I just selected the symbol. Not only was I not able to keep the symbols at the same coords (I tried making them all 164.95), the 'automatic decimal' numbers would actually change further, as I was trying to correct them. I was only able to resolve this by creating an entirely new MC symbol in the Library, and placing it on a new timeline layer.
I've noticed this sort of behavior before in CS3 and CS4 (the CS4 Alpha slider never wanting to go to 0 or 100%), but never to this extent, or as consistently. It's gone from an annoyance to a genuine problem in my workflow.
How come this PHP Code:
function drop (thumbClip, xCoord, yCoord) {
thumbClip._x = xCoord;
thumbClip._y = yCoord;
trace (thumbClip);
trace (xCoord);
trace(yCoord);
}
receives the variables (specified in a later function) and traces them all right, but refuses to deposit the variable thumbClip in the x and y coordinates being specified?
I replaced thumbClip with a specific movie clip, and the fucntion worked perfectly. Does this mean Flash cannot use variables to set the x and y coords to?

I've been reading through all the various threads related to the drawing API and saving drawings. About a hundred times I've seen mention of "log mouse positions into an array" and stuff like that, but I can't find any clear and simple examples of how to do this.
Let's take a very simple use of the drawing object to do freeform drawing. What is the AS to capture the mouse XYs as the user draws and put that into an array. I can't figure out how to get Flash to keep updating things as I go, it invariably grabs the fist point and that's it. Could one of you AS gods just write out a super simple routine for this? I know I'm not the only one that needs this (as it seems to be asked every week) Let's use the most basic drawing example I can find:

I've been searching extensively for a way of converting from ordanance survey coords to valid esri coordinates. I've found quite a few pages that convert to lat long (if a little off) but nothing to convert to esri (which I believe is utm.)This is for use in python or JavaScript / actionscript etc - I'm not too worried about syntax more an understanding of the maths involved.
View 2 RepliesOn my website, I display uploaded PDF files in a flash player for my users to read. I already use various tools to extract the text and produce a serious of high quality images from the file and the system works well. The last piece of the puzzle is to be able to highlight specific parts of the document to help users with accessibility issues.
However I cannot figure out how to calculate where the specific text is positioned on the page? Notes: The documents uploaded to the system are from 3rd parties, so fonts may be embedded. Meaning that I cannot be sure of the width of specific letters. The text to be highlighted may not be unique, the same text may be repeated How can I calculate the coordinates, height and width of a specific piece of text on a PDF, so that I can then draw a box around it?
how do i make a button trigger a movie clip that targets specific coords? I'm building a map and when a button is click it goes to a defined point. right now it jumps to the coords, but i'd much rather it smoothly move instead. the other thing is that i would like it to move from whatever point it is currently at.

View 2 RepliesOkay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
qi have a movieclip which is added to the stage:
var profileholder:profileHolder=new profileHolder ;
inside of profileholder is another movieclip(infoBtn) that acts as a button.when the mouse is over profileholder i want to do something with infoBtn like:
//profOver is the over state of profileholder
function profOver(e:Event) {
e.target.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
this doesn't work and brings up this error:ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property infoBtn not found on flash.display.Loader and there is no default value.
at main_fla::MainTimeline/profOver()
i also tried:
function profOver(e:Event) {
var item:profileHolder=e.target as profileHolder;
item.infoBtn.alpha=1;
}
and get this error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
i don't know why this isn't working.i got a button. and when it's pressed, i need it to go and play a frame in a movie clip. i'll test it and then when i click on it, i get this:
Target not found: Target="whoweare" Base="_level0.instance20.instance48.instance49"
this is the code that i am using:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("whoweare") {
gotoAndPlay (51);
}
}
so, i'm making an animated rollover, and i get an output error that says this:
Target not found: Target="_root.icon01" Base="_level0"
i have no idea what the base="_level0" means.
I know this may be a basic question, however.how to encode a Flash Video (possibly with Flash Video Encoder using Cue Points?) and when the video ends, direct the user to a specific url. In other words when the video is over the browser automatically refreshes to a specifc page.
is there a tutorial for somtehing like this?
Are there any code examples?
Can I use Flash video encoder and cue points, Or should I use Flash WITH video?
