I want to display 600 photos in a flash gallery. The user must be ble to add photos easily. They will preload load in sets of 12 thumbnails, clicking on a thumbnail will result in the larger photo loading. I would like to be able to arrange the photos by date, location and type of shot. I think I can create a photo class in actionscript with,

I'm trying to compile some code and I keep getting a "Type was not found or was not a compile time constant" error, but it doesn't give me a location. When I right-click the error and select "Go to source" nothing happens. Anyone know what could be causing something like this? Or where I should look if there is nothing in the location field of the error report? It's really perplexing.

I take a date (as a string data type) from the user. Now, I want to know if there is a a function in actionscript that will convert it to a date format. Right now, I am just parsing the string and concatenating the pieces back together. i.e.:
changeDateString = date.getFullYear().toString() + '/' + (date.getMonth()+1).toString() + '/' + date.getDate();
But for months like May, it will return "5" and not "05". I have similar problems for days like "9" or "7." Is there something in the library that will do this for me? (For the moment, I can go ahead and manually concatenate the "0" in front, but this seems like a hassle to do.)

Do you know any way to compare a date to a range of date using the Date class in as2.

I have an FLV video embedded in a Flash site. It starts with a black screen, so currently as you land on the home page there is just a black space. Is there a way of getting it to sit on the site home page with a different image, ie. a screen shot from elsewhere in the video (without editing the actual video in an editing programme), which displays until the user presses play, then returns to it when the video is finished?
View 9 RepliesI have a 20 frame movieclip (named mc), and by default the playhead is stopped at frame 0 of that movieclip. At frame 10 I have a movieclip instance there named "apple". Now I want to tell mc to go to frame 10, and immediately access "apple" movieclip. This is what I do (from the main timeline):
mc.gotoAndStop(10);
trace(mc.apple);
It prints out null (appled is undefined). However, when I put a timer (say of 5 milliseconds) before calling the trace statement, then it works and can access apple. I don't want to rely on timers, since the timer duration depends on different circumstances. At the same time, I do not want to put code anywhere except the first frame of the main timeline.
I have several SWFs built and ready for playback in a container SWF with volume controls, and next/previous/pause/play/stop controls (a-la a DVD player or VCR). This particular project is a product demo, with different scenes that you can navigate through using the on-screen "remote" or just let it play through. I need to know how to preload all of the external SWFs in one shot. I don't want to load them as the demo plays, or when they're needed. It's fairly critical that they all be loaded during one preloader sequence so that they can play seamlessly between eachother.

I'm pretty new to actionscript and so but I manage to read and understand and alter other people's code a little. I'm testing functions to make myself a First Player Shooter game and now I have problem with the fire delay. I want a limit of let's say 1 shot per second. How do I do that?
I thought that maybe restricting the clickings counted, so it doesn't register the mouse clicks too close to eachother. Or put some kind of interval at the functions delaying the sound and event function, but that seems too hard. The game so far: [URL] As u see one get multiple sounds when clicking a lot and it's possible to get several points by clicking the ball a lot.
Also, when the ball goes behind the tree it's not supposed to be able to shoot. The Flash File: [URL] It's not the exact same, some junk code trying to make the delay... The file I used for help (if someone finds it useful for making a game of their own [URL] Here u see the target isn't shot behind the pics. Is that because it is a button there and a mc in my file?
I have a XML file with a few concert dates. In my flash/AS3 file, I would like to show only the up coming event, relative to current date. Like this:
