create a counter using actionscript? the scene is 30 frames long and it's sopposed to get a new value with every frame. something like counter++; example: 70% should turn 71%, 72%.... 100% (but not as a preloader animation)
I tried it, using the while loop like this in first frame:
while (counter < 100)

how to make a my swf appaer as a percentage of the screen not a defined size and I can't seem to work it out. I nee something to appear on screen at a resonable size. 640 by 480 is too big for certain users and width="480" height="360" is too small for others.

I want to make a MC called bgFade cover a percentage of the flash movie. So the MC starts at the bottom and covers 80% of the vertical space of the Flash movie. So theres 20% at the top that isn't covered. At the moment i have:
ActionScript Code:
bgFade._y = Stage.height;
bgFade._x = 0;
bgFade._width = Stage.width;
...Which places the MC at the botton of the movie, and makes it fill all the horizontal space. So what can i add to that to make it fill 80% vertically?
I want to make the HTML dimensions a percentage (so it scales with the web browser) but the problem is when i do that, aspects of my animations which i dont want visible (that start outside of the sage) become visible on the page. And if i set the size in pixels or to fit the movie, the things i dont want visible are not visible, but the artefact doesn't scale with the web browser.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple animated movieclip act as a preloader for a larger website, and have its play reflect the percentage that has been loaded. I've seen a lot of code for various preloaders that involve text or a movieclip being scaled, but not anything regarding controlling the playhead of a movieclip.
This is what I thought would work. PreLoaderMC is the class name of a MovieClip symbol in the .fla's library. I've omitted the Loader stuff [code]...
How can I make a preloader that shows percentage/bar for a movie loaded in with LoadMovie?
I've tried using a normal preloader (the one from Kirupa) in the "to load" movie, but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to have the preloader assess how big the movie to load is, how a bar etc. and have the movie hidden until 100% is loaded (as seen on the bar)?
I have a listener which traces the Y value of mouse:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,f);
function f(e:MouseEvent){
trace(e.localY);
}
I need to make a movie clip play when the localY value is less than .25 of stageY, or even less than 150 would work.

View 2 RepliesI have a site that plays either .mp3 or .flv files depending on what is selected from the menu. Menu loads in from xml. I get "unable to make connection with server or unable to find flv on server" when I try to play the video. But the video and audio files are all in the same directory and the mp3 files play fine. I think I'm having a problem with the setMedia command. Here's the code that loads the video and audio files.

View 2 RepliesI'm working on an animation where I have my "dog" fighting the evil vacuum cleaner. I got most of it to work the way I want it to.
1) I have movie clips entitled pepper_mc (where my dog is supposed to be walking), swirl (where a swirly-type symbol is supposed to spin over the dead vacuum's head), and vacuum_mc (where the evil vacuum is supposed to have a swinging arm (called vacuumarm_mc) that I created using the bone tool). When I add them to the stage and test them, the animations within the movie clips don't happen.
2) I have background music that I'd like to stop playing at the end of the animation, but I'm not sure how to do that. (using the stop(); actionscript doesn't help).Where am I going wrong? I'm using Flash Pro CS5.
Here's the file --> Pepper and the Vacuum of DOOM!
I have a grid that is drawn by the graphics library. I have small pieces, let's call them blocks that are the shape of a square. These blocks connect to each other to form pieces. I want the user to be able to rotate the pieces and then snap them to the grid.I've looked at the geometry libraries but I'm unsure how I would get the points of each square in a piece to match it up with the board after it has been rotated
