ActionScript 3.0 :: 2D SpaceShooter - Title Screen Play Button
Apr 17, 2010
I'm trying to make a 2D SpaceShooter for my Flash Class and so far i have the Game working. All I need to add is a menu screen where it says to hit play and a play agian button when you lose. I'm working on my menu screen right now and I get an annoying error saying
ScreenTitle.as,Line7
1084:Syntax error:expecting identifier before right brace {
Here is the code:
package {
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
public class ScreenTitle extends {
public static const PLAY:String = "";
public function ScreenTitle() {
play_mc.buttonMode = true;
play_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlay);
} public function clickPlay(e:MouseEvent) {
dispatchEvent(new Event(PLAY));
}}}
I keep getting this error. Code: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at SpaceShooter/::addEnemy() at SpaceShooter$iinit() It is caused by this function: ActionScript Code:
[Code]....
The error means that i'm referencing to something that isn't there but how can that be? I created it at the top
I'm making an interactive video and the title screen isn't working. Instead of waiting to start until the play button is hit the video just plays the 1 frame screen and startsThis is what I have:
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickPlay); function clickPlay(event:MouseEvent):void {
I am trying to create a code to have a "play" button on the middle of the screen that disappears after clicking and at the same time have a play/pause/runtime toolbar on bottom that appears only oh hover. My video is in .swf and .flv and can be converted to whatever's necessary for FLash CS4. There is a downloadable file "example" on this board (http:url....)which accomplishes exactly what I'm searching for.I couldn't attach the example file to this message as Adobe blocks some of their own file types.(don't know why)I tried to embed my video into this code but have failed.
The video imported and plays fine with the provided skins. However I want to display the video online with the same Play control as many YouTube videos - a Play button shown in the center of the video screen area. Right now I have the video player controls that I selected during import and they are at the bottom. These skin controls work but I'd like to let the user just click on the screen to start the playback.
Let me first state that I am no programmer, so this may seem like a stupid question. I have done all kinds of searching on this question, and answers seem far-and-wide, and have only left me more confused. I am currently accepting bids for the development of an Android app version of our graphic novel: [URL] One of the issues/problems from my requirements document that has been raised more than once by bidders is about the Flash animation [URL] that I want to be used in the title screen, and how that will be implemented in the app. The initial programmer that I was working with had real problems with and was never able to get it to work. I know that in order to use the swf file as-is, Flash needs to be installed on the devices, and that is not an Android standard. So I want to know what options there are to be able to include this.
A couple bidders have suggested that the animation be converted to video. And although they claim that they could still make it work correctly, I worry about losing the looping that is built into the animation. Can the animation be converted to or re-created with Java? Should I be looking into using FLash Builder and/or Adobe AIR? We will eventually be porting this app for Apple iPads as well, so if there is an option that woks for both Android and iOS, that would be better.
I've made a slideshow with externally loading text and images. How can I make it so after the title screen flashes off, the first thing is the first photo/caption without having to click on the next button?
I wanted to make play button. Kind of this huge one in the middle of the screen as users used to see on YouTube.Here is the code for it which seems to work:
I am trying to create a flash animation in which a text title fades in to the screen. I created the text, converted it to a symbol, then tried to create a motion tween in which I could tweak the alpha values of the text object. However when I try to create the keyframe, the popup that comes up has the Color option greyed out (which is where I believe the alpha setting lives).
I have on one file (player1.fla), a movie that plays MP3s from an array, which I specify in that movie. The code for that works just fine.I've duplicated the file and renamed it to a different one (player2.fla) so I could load the MP3s from a variable (array) on a text file. This way, to add more songs, all I would have to do is update the text file.
I changed the code around a tiny bit in the "player2.fla" file to accomodate for loading a text file, but nothing more.*My Problem* The text file loads properly and displays the Title of the mp3, but it won't play the mp3.The text file looks something like this: (just an example)
Code: &songs=song1.mp3, song2.mp3, song3.mp3 &songTitles=my song1, my newer song, the third song
My script is very similar to this: (shortened; just an example)
Code: lv = new LoadVars(); lv.onLoad = function() {[code]......
is it possible to change the icon and the title in the title bar? are there any opensource or low cost ways (prehaps software with a education licence) to change the apperance of the projector window.. like for example itunes, breaks out of windows xp standard UI
how can i load large image? i used a Zoomify for solve this problem but there are another problem that i don't like to use it. can i do it in as3? like loading image title to title?
So i've made my .swf files. The only thing is they all play at full screen when i play them using my web browser. I need them to play at 548 x 408. when i open the .fla and go to properties it says the size IS at 548 x 410 but it can't be if its playing full screen.
I have a panel in my application. My requirement is, I also require a link, that is "Help options" to appear in the panel's header. In the left, we will have the Panel's title and in the right corner, I need this link. Is that possible?
I'm building a photogallery base on this tutorial http:[url]....I'm trying to add a play button, so the gallery would play the pictures onRelease of the button at interval of 3s.It's not working. my code is:
I'm trying to edit a Flash file, that get it's data from and XML file.Now when you click on one of the menu items, the page + page title should change, but somehow the page title remains the same. (at least for the first 3 menu items) But when you go to the last menu item and then back to one of the first 3 menu items, the correct page title is shown.I'm no flash / AS expert, so I can't really find out what the problem is, but it seems like it has something to do with this function
I have a list of mp3-songs, when song 1 is clicked it gets streamed, a stop-button appears, if this Btn is clicked, this Btn disappears as it should - but if user forgets to click for stopping sound and clicks song 2, stopBtn 1 remains and the new stopBtn 2 also appears. there should be only one stopBtn, the one next to the song is playing.
I would like to move the stopBtn and I have tried several approaches move; graphics.moveTo; if(stopButton !=null) {removeChild (stopButton)}; I packed the var stopButton:Sprite in the header and so on.
I am trying to make a swf with one FLV playback player and 6 buttons. I've got 6 different videofiles that I want to have linked to this swf. Some of the videos are quit large.When starting the Swf, the first video has to start, after playing it, it has to stop. Then you must be able to choose which video to play by clicking one of the buttons. I don't want to have small thumbnails of the video, just plain and simple buttons.I have to have all my files, both fla, swf and xml files in the same directory (I cannot have them stored in different folders, since I have to upload this to a cms system which has limited upload properties).
I've tried to find the right script on the internet, I'm not very good at scripting myselve, actually rather poor educated there.It seems to me that I have to make an xml file with a list of all my videos, I have my default swf ready, with a FLVplayback and buttons.Now there's just the coding part....
I have created two buttons for separate audio files. Essentially if you click on the button it will play and stop. This works great! I have also injected a SoundMixer.stopAll(); to ensure if you click between both buttons that it will stop the current audio file to play the next one. My problem is when I select the 2nd button for the first time everything seems to be working...it's when I attempt to click on the first button again, that it will require 2 clicks and then it stops and plays accordingly...anyone know how I could eliminate this annoying two click process?
I have many buttons (symbols). This is what I want it to do: -Select a button on the screen, and then a movieclip plays. - If the user selects any OTHER button on screen, a message box displays a message.
i new to actionscript and am not sure where to begin so i will explin what i would like to do. i have a myspace site that i have created a div overlay with...<a [URL] now what i would like to do is use actionscript so when you click on the menu button a image wil pop up in the ipod screen and when u click the play button something else will pop up
I have five different scenes all including three different buttons. When I test the buttons in "play scene" - all buttons sounds correctly in all scenes. But when I play movie, there is sound only with one button (the same button in every scene). I have looked for differences, but this button seem to have all the same parameters as the others.
I have a presentation that runs fine when its being playednormally, but when I try to get it to go into full screen mode witha button click it goes black and won't load the videos.Somehow in the past I was able to see the errors, but now Ican't get the same error to pop up.
I am building an website and i want this website to have an video in the background. I have done the part where the flash is behind everything but i can not play this video in fullscreen. How can i play flv video on fullscreen with actionscript2.0. I dont need a button for this video to go fullscreen it simply needs to start on fullscreen.
