View 2 RepliesThe last I have been using Flash was around 4 years ago and I have forgotten quite a bit. I remember I used SWISH Lite to create a typing effect (as a blinking cursor is typing a line of text one by one) and later i just could take this generator animation of my text and add it to my Macromedia Flash.I have installed the new SwishMax Trial, but I really don't recognize where I have to go in order to get this text effect generator running.
View 14 RepliesI found a really weird behavior when using deep copy for objects (ObjectUtil of Flex framework).Imagine we have a class B which extends class A. Class A has property body which is of type ByteArray.I create object b (instance of B). Then I make a deep copy object bCopy, BUT this bCopy object does not contain body property at all! All others properties (of scalar types) defined in Class A are copied properly.When I define property of type ByteArray directly in class B, then this property is copied properly..
View 2 RepliesI have made a couple of 'advanced rollovers' if you will, yet one thing is annoying me about them! When you roll over the button it looks great, yet as soon as your mouse goes off the hit area, it just suddenly shoots straight back to frame 1 of the movieclip , is there any way to animate a scene once the mouse has gone off the button, so it looks smooth when rolling over and when rolling off?
View 1 RepliesI am animating a number of items using the Move effect. I am adding each item to an array after it has been added to the display list and once all items are added calling the play method, passing an array of the items to it. Only the last item plays in my animation.
Here is my code:
MXML: s:Move id="coinFall" yFrom="-400" duration="2000" />
public function showCoins(n:Number):void{
holder.removeAllElements();
var targets:Array = [];
if (n>=2.5){

im new to flex, so naturally I would just create a dynamic sprite using the drawing api and put it behind the text... but my app is really buggy using the rawChildren to addChild.So is there a better way to have a bg for a piece of text though actionscript? like modifying an existing component?

View 5 RepliesI work with Flash 4. I've made a button and set Get URL as Properties. In this URL field I want to link an email adres including subject en text in the body field.For example, I've filled out the URL form like this.mailto:info@adayswork.nl?subject=hello&body=How are you. I am ok.
When you click on the button, Outlook opens and everything seems te work. But who knows how I can put an ENTER between How are you. and I am ok.I think it's something in the expression editor, but when I put an Enter between those 2 lines it still doesn't work.When I hit the New Line button in the expression field it seems to work but the words New Line won't dissappear in the Outlook window.

View 1 RepliesI have several input text fields that I need to be placed in the body of an email. Here is the code I have...
[Code]...
I am using the following code to open my client email program and I want the address, subject field and body text completed.
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMessage);
var subject="My Subject"var body="This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. "var to="me@address.net"
function sendMessage(event:MouseEvent):void {var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:"+to+"?subject=" +subject+ "&body="+body);navigateToURL(email, "_self");}
The problem is no matter what I have tried I cannot get the subject and body text to show any text. The email client open and the correct address is shown. Is this a problem with trying to run it locally and not from server or is there a problem with the code?
I really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can't seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. basically, i want the letters but with the 'Repel' effect from[URL] here is Pom's AS:
[AS]
cellSize=3;
radius=10;
damp=.85;
[code]....
and here is the .fla using the repel effect using pre-made mc:
I need to select the text copy and paste the text in to clipboard.. i am able to select the text and on right click i have provided the menu for copying the text... after selecting the text, i am clicking the copy text option in the menu.. but it is not pasting the text..
I am using the syntax:
System.setClipboard(text).
Basically, I just want to do ye old text fade on as if being typed on to the screen. Letter by letter, and in some cases word by word. digi-poetry. I've made a BlackerMC which starts as a black square, then flickerfades away leaving some faded lines (like old school crappy green monitor style), and then the lines fade away. I've placed copies of this BlackerMC over each of the characters/words I want to 'type' on.
What I would like to do is animate a TriggerMC along the lines of text, and whenever it rollsOver a BlackerMC it triggers the Blacker to fade away. I know how to set up BlackerMC to look at its distance to TriggerMC, but then there will be like 500 BlackerMCs enterframing away. Is there a way I can make TriggerMC just look at 'whatever?' MC is under it, and then trigger whatever?MC to play? How to do this the smart way, entirely with action script and Dynamic Text?
Basically I have a menu with submenus. The submenu is a Sprite with two children, one is a square for the background and the text on top. On mouse over, I can change the color of the first child, the background, but not the color of the text, the second child. Here is the code.
ActionScript Code:
private function subMenuItemOver(evt:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(evt.target.getChildAt(0), 1, {tint:0x9ca26e}); // Works
TweenLite.to(evt.target.getChildAt(1), 1, {tint:0xffffff}); // Doesn't work
}
The menus are created from an xml document and the color is assigned with TextFormat.

View 0 RepliesI'm setting up an animation to do the following: 10 bulls are running across the screen, they each stop at a position that I would like to be defined by a numeric variable contained in a text file. So currently each instance of the bull has a script to run the animation (see below).[code]so the only value in that script that needs to be defined by a variable is the x position. Can someone explain how i can import values from a text file (or xml file) as usable variables in the animation script?I've no problem importing text to be displayed in a dynamic text field, I'm just having a huge problem getting numeric values to import correctly.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to load the data from a txt file into a dynamic textfield.It works fine on the initial stage.But if i nest the text field inside a movieclip called "my_movieclip" it does not load.eg: _root.my_movieclip.newUpdates_txt.text = Update_lv.latestNews;Another problem is if I rotate the text field it again wont show??
Code:
Update_lv = new LoadVars();
Update_lv.onLoad = onText;

I've made a little file with some signpost movie clips that do a little animation on mouseover and mouseout. I then wanted to set the text on each of them via actionscript i.e. sign1.sign_text.text = "Checklist: Before you arrive"; etc. This code puts all the right text on the signs when it loads, however as soon as you mouseover it, the text reverts back to the original placeholder text in the movieclip (when it gets to the second keyframe). How can I keep the reference to the text it has at the beginning of the movie clip?
View 2 RepliesI've got an xml file that is providing text to the swf. The flash file is supposed to go through the xml file and each time it reads a node it is supposed to create a text field on the stage with the text from the XML file. Then it is supposed to animate along the y axis for a short time, pause for a few seconds, and then continue animating along the y axis. (like a news ticker on a News Channel). Anyways, I've got the FLA reading the XML file fine and it even creates a text field populated with the text. But I can't get the text fields to animate inside the loop.[code]I can get the first text to animate. But I don't understand why the "i and j" version doesn't.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make an application that will load XML data into a scrolling info bar and then continually scroll the information without a break (so there is no gap in the display). The textField and container movie clips are created dynamically and then animated once the XML has loaded. I am having problems though as when I choose to duplicate the MC that has the text loaded into it I can't see the text. I have tried two methods of duplicating the movie clip:

AS3 to animate dynamic xml text values to -X direction means left side of the screen. The text boxes will be holding dynamic numbers which willl be basically some amounts passed by the user and these amounts will be animated as running towards left. For getting these dynamic text values from an external XML file every n second say every 5 second the xml connection will be refreshed with a timer. Now am working on is like creating text boxes at run time as per the number of amounts coming to the flash while refreshing once. Here the issue what am facing is like first time when the flash loads then there will be some 10 values so 10 text boxes will be generated and the movieclip holding these will be moving to -x direction with a timer, so when the next time the connection refreshes its again creating new text boxes and appending the movieclip and this process repeats in every refresh, if a new value is coming to the flash may be in 6th refreshing time then to see this new values there is a big delay happening because all the old generated set of amounts has to be moved to see the new one. Here we are looking for a instant change on these amounts once the new values gets to flash.
View 5 RepliesA web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.
I am still using flash MX. I'm pulling random text from a textfile (array.txt) into movieclip instance textbox.[code]All is good, but now my question is if I can have a text effect as well. For example having the random quotes typed out as they appear.
