ActionScript 3.0 :: Adobe Flash And Making Some Stuff And That Export It To IPad?
May 30, 2011Im trying to learn Adobe Flash and making some stuff and that export it to my iPad. It doesnt have to be Shared Object, just read on internet that it could be used. But i dont know.
I need a save and load function. Im gonna explain why and how. Im making a test game. When the player finish a level another level on the "Level select" screen should be unlock.
So, when player open my game first time. Level 2 is locked. When he finish Level 1 he can play Level 2.I got some help with this and got it to work like this:
[Code]...
That means if Player hits goal he get send back to frame 2 and "level2played" gets true and he can click and play level2. But this doesnt ofcourse get saved when the app get closed. So i kinda need it to be saved. So if Player hits goal in level 1, this "level2played=true;" gets saved.

Professional :: Making Things Visible One At A Time?
Jun 22, 2010I have one button, that when clicked should display several images, one at a time. At the minute they are all just coming on together, how do i seperate the functions so they come on individually, for example like bullet points, e.g click once and image1 appears, click again and image2 appears etc... so eventually all of the images are on screen, but they don't all just appear together, if that makes sense!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Making The Simple Player Using The Player Component Preinstalled In Flash?
Jun 3, 2010I am trying to make the SIMPLEST POSSIBLE MP# player using the player component preinstalled in flash.It is very simple, the code is as follows:
Code:
on (release) {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
}
("player" is the mp3 component)
This works if I want a single track to be selected and played.Now, I need it to AUTOMATICALLY LOAD THE NEXT TRACK, which I will input in the code.I am thinking something like this:
Code:
player.onSoundComplete = function() {
player.contentPath ="Song.mp3"
player.play()
};
But this is not working.
PS: I know an XML file would be the best here, but I don't want to use it. I just want to enter the next track's code inside the swf.
ActionScript 2.0 :: [CS3] Involves For Loop Making MCs Hidden Then Visible?

playerC_cards=["dealt_card_c1", "dealt_card_c2", "dealt_card_c3", "dealt_card_c4", "dealt_card_c5", "dealt_card_c6", "dealt_card_c7"];
playerD_cards=["dealt_card_d1", "dealt_card_d2", "dealt_card_d3", "dealt_card_d4", "dealt_card_d5", "dealt_card_d6", "dealt_card_d7"];
playerE_cards=["dealt_card_e1", "dealt_card_e2", "dealt_card_e3", "dealt_card_e4", "dealt_card_e5", "dealt_card_e6", "dealt_card_e7"];

It should work. It doesn't. Similarly does not work on buttons which are also too numerous to mention, so making them visible one at a time would be an untold hassle. I would love these five arrays to be bunched in a subarray but right now getting it to work, period, is job one.
Flash :: Making Content Visible To Search Engines?
Feb 1, 2012When I was using Flash CS4, it published a HTML file that showed the text content of the movie, which made it easy for search engines to index the site. However, in Flash CS5.5, I notice it doesn't appear to do that anymore.

View 2 RepliesIDE :: Making A Global String Variable Visible To MovieClips?
Jun 4, 2009I mostly use flash for the animation, so my action script tends to be mostly functional.
I am now however having an issue, i am using a variable called language which I am setting in frame one as "dutch", "english" , "german" etc... Im then using this to set dynamic text as appropriate in each frame as necessary.(and yes i may switch this to case statements )
if (language == "dutch")
{ tcMC.peasantBubble1.peasantSpeech.text= "Bescherm je een schat?"};
My problem is however that one Movieclip does not see the language variable.
Is there anway in CS4 i can direct it to where it is, or define the varibale instead to be global (perhaps id have to change it from a string though)?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Making Menu Visible When External SWF Loaded?
Jan 5, 2011I have my main menu movieclip placed on the main stages and I use it to load some external swfs. However when I load them, the menu disappears because it is covered by the loaded swf. How can I set the depth of my top menu so that will always be visible when the external swfs are loaded? Should the depth be set on the main time line or inside the main manu movie clip? This is the code in my main menu that I am using to load the swfs but my main menu is a movie clip placed on the main timeline...
Code:
var swf:MovieClip;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defaultSWF:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/welcome.swf");

Sep 16, 2009I'm having some trouble with drop down menus.

Aug 12, 2009I've made an animation showing the constellation Orion in 3D (see attached swf). As you can see, it's working properly, displaying stars and lines connecting those stars. The depth scaling is ok. The animation also responds to mouse movements as it should.The problems occur when I embed the swf in Flex using Flex Builder (I posted this question on the Flex forum as well, but I suspect the problem is more AS related than Flex 3 related): the stars of the constellation are visible, the animation responds to mouse movements, depth scaling is OK...but the lines connecting the stars aren't visible. Feel free to make the comparison for yourself.So any suggestions how I can make the lines visible? Can they be exported for Actionscript in the same way the movieclips are?Geography and sciences teacher (not a professional programmer alas)I used Flash CS4 professional version 10.0.2 , Flex Builder 3, IE8, Flash Player 10

Jun 14, 2003I have a logo I created for my webpage with FreeHand. I have finally learned how to do a lighting mask to have the effect of the moving gleam across my logo, but whenever I try to create the effect (using different methods even) it isnt' working correctly. Only part of my logo is being affected by the mask. I have tried all the things that I can think of to make this work. So far the only thing that has worked is changing the vector logo into a jpeg and plugging it into flash, but I really don't want to do that due to resolution and cleaness of the image. I am including links to the 2 files - the original logo as well as the masking .fla file that I have been trying to make work.

Flash :: Morphing In MoleHill Using A Vertex Shader?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Write A Phong Shader For Molehill Project?
May 2, 2011I've been struggling to write a Phong shader for my Molehill project. The problem is that the light seems to shift or move when the camera rotates. So I've been investigating what could possibly be wrong, by basically comparing my shader with the Phong shader written in GLSL. There's one thing I found that is kind of weird. In GLSL the output position in the vertex shader is ModelViewProjectionMatrix * Vertex, ok that is just fine.
HOWEVER, in Molehill the ModelViewProjectionMatrix has to be transposed so that it will render the vertex correctly to the screen. In GLSL that is not necessary.
How did I find that out? I created the Matrix3D modelViewProjection, I applied the ModelView to that matrix and then the Projection matrix. I tried to give the vertex shader that matrix and it displayed nothing until I transposed the modelViewProjection.
In GLSL this is not necessary, I could just say output.position = projection * modelview * vertex and it would be displayed correctly, I don't need to do transpose(projection * modelview * vertex).
So.. I'm wondering if there's something that I am not seeing here or is this a special part of Molehill that we just have to follow? Or could it be a bug in Molehill? I will create a new post tonight with my Phong shader and hope that someone sees what I may be doing wrong. But this is confusing me a lot at the moment and would like to know why the matrix has to be transposed.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Offscreen DisplayObjects - How Does Flash Player Handle Objects When They Are No Longer On The Visible Stage
Dec 28, 2010How does flash player handle objects when they are no longer on the visible stage? Is the graphical data still in memory? Does hittestobject/point consider them? Are enterframe and interval events still running?
In AS2 I would hold metaobjects (minimal x,y,width,height data) that would delete/create movieclips as the screen scrolled. Is this still a correct approach in AS3? If not, is there anything I can do to offstage display objects that improves efficiency, assuming around 400 are created initially?
Professional :: Publishing A Flash Video: Player Not Visible - Height And Width Referenced 3-times In Html?
Mar 5, 2010When I publish my FLV video using Flash CS3 and the "SkinUnderAll" option...the player controls are not visible unless I change the height & width in the html file Flash created.But, Flash shows the height & width 3-times in the html.
Question-1: Why 3-times? What does each of the 3 Height & Width references do?
Question-2: How should I modify the code to be able to see the entire video and the player controls?
It seems if I change all 3 everything just gets bigger and bigger.
1 - I import it into Flash CS3 on a PC w/XP Pro using... File | Import | Video take all the defaults and choose "Skin Under All" as the player option.
2 - In "Properties" panel at bottom of screen Flash shows the video as 640x480
3 - I then click File | Publish to publish the video. Flash creates all my files for me.
MyVideo.fla
MyVideo.flv
MyVideo.html
MyVideo.swf
SkinUnderAll.swf
AC_RunActiveContent.js
4 - I then put the folder with the files on my website.
5 - The video plays but the player controls are not visible.
6 - I see the Height & Width referenced 3 times in the html file Flash created for me (and none are 640x480, they are 550x400 !)
7 - I try changing the 550x400 to 640x480 in all three places... no good. Even at 1000x1000 the entire player is not visible. Everything just gets larger.
What are each of the 3 references to Height and Width in the html file Flash Creates and which should I change to simply show all the player controls?
