I had to set the "Default linkage" actionscript setting to "Merged into code."
I have pretty basic AS that says to switch to a different scene, and it will switch, but movie clips from the original scene won't disappear. Never happened before...
Code:
function unit1MainMenu(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1, "Main Menu Unit 1");
}
MainMenu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, unit1MainMenu);
I have been handed a project that was built to embed all assets at compile time and I need to update the app to load assets from a remote server instead. Right now everything is being embedded as follows:
[Embed(source="assets/gfx/tutorialBg.png")]
public var tutorialBg:Class;
[Embed(source="assets/gfx/tutorialStraightArrow.png")]
[Code]....
These Class variables are being referenced all over the app to place the assets so I'm hoping to be able to update the code to load the assets and store them in these same Class variables. So far the methods I've tried have not worked. I've tried using URLLoader and it loads the images fine, but I'm not then able to extract the image and cast it as type Class to these variables.
I am working on a side scroller. The point is to collect 10 coins, and on that event, a door will open. I need to make it so when the character HitTest the door, while dooropen = 1 to go to the scene 2 and play it. Here is the code I have.
onClipEvent(load){
var dooropen: Number = 0;

I'm having issues with switching scenes for this 6 scene short story, between scene 1 and 2, the text (thats in a text box from my character) in my project, slides in and out just fine... At the end of the code in the 1st frame, I added a code snippet (click to go to next frame and stop), and it goes to the next frame, code then tells to click button, then the text switches/slides in and out fine, the horse(another character) comes into the scene fine... Then again at the bottom of frame 2 now, I add the same code snippet to the click button, its suppose to go to scene/frame 3, where the text slides in and then out, but it's giving me output errors, AND I noticed when I press the (click to go to next frame and stop)snippet again, it inputs a totally different snippet(click and play next frame), which I manually change back to the other snippet, and even make sure that its suppose to go to frame 3, and then it still gives me output errors: Error:
Cannot tween a null object. at com.greensock::TweenLite() at com.greensock::TweenLite$/to() at CortesWP1_fla::MainTimeline/fredRun2() at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply() at com.greensock.core::TweenCore/complete() at com.greensock::TweenLite/renderTime()

For some reason the code in scene 1(frame 1) to scene 2(frame 2) is fine. Its the code from scene 2(frame 2) to scene 3(frame 3) thats giving me issues. I'm trying to keep the button I created on the bottom right corner of the scene, to be the one button that clicks from scene 1 through 6(dones not need a previous button).
For the downrankers:I have searched this question in the internet and found countless posts. But neither worked because of a small problem here or there, and when I though of posting my problems in the same thread I realized its a month/year/millennium old. So I'm gonna ask here.For other people:How do I switch scenes within a flash MovieClip object?
View 2 RepliesHow to have a cool fade out/in effect when I change from one scene to another with a button. So far I have found a way to get the body of the web page to fade out, but do not know how I can have that and then load the scene that is selected by the button. There are multiple buttons that lead to different pages and I wish for all of them to cause the fade out of the first page and the fade in of the selected page.
ActionScript Code:
stop();
about_btn.onRelease = function () {
gotoAndPlay(8);
}
The 8th frame is the start of the fade out. Keep in mind that I will have other pages that will be navigated to the same way.
I'm having problems with drop down menus.I have created one, using a variety of online tutorials, and the animation works, i.e you hover the mouse over a button, and subsets of buttons pop up. They all work nicely, and change colour on the 'over' state. The problem is, I want these new buttons to move to a new scene (well, I want them to do something, because they don't do anything at the moment.so I put the standard
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
on the buttons......................but nothing happens.
What I am trying to explain/do is to take a movie and not only have it follow a guided layer, but also to have it not dissapear.So for example, I have sucessfully made a movie move around a path as I broke some letters in to symbols and created a guided layer out of them.However I don't want the move to keep dissapearing and initializing as it transverses the path.To better explain this, please check out the online example: UrL...Now instead of holding down the mouse button and having the movie of hearts just keep compounding wherever the key_pressed mouse goes to, Imagine the hearts coming to screen as the movie goes through the guided layer so as to spell out a word. Here is the minimum that I think I need and I have edited it below and tried change the "mouseX" and "mouseY" to something such as flashmo_group.X and flashmo_group.Y but the resulting effect does not follow the path.[code]
View 2 RepliesOK so i have a character that moves with the mouse. I need it to stay in the center of the screen(kind of like a platformer game). I can't figure out how to access the camera and move it. (Note: I have tried Vcam and moving all of the other objects but Vcam makes the file slow or something [or so i have heard] and moving the other objects in kind of like cheating [and for my needs is insufficient]) I don't have any code because i don't know where to start. Maybe someone can point me into the right direction.
View 3 Repliesi want a character to stay in center of screen and where ever we click on the page the character goes there , i mean that click position comes to centre with ease and we can also navigate map like age of empires, or DOTA but in that case character stick at its own position to map.
Im not flash developer so i dont know how to do this but i can do designing. I am attaching a fla with this pls do this experiment with that fla file so that i can understand it easy. Being a non programmer it is tough to understand these things for me. those brown sections in this map would be colusion areas , where we cannot move character and blue is river. so we cannot move character to river too.
I have a swf that loads images from my server and resizes them to fit the 800x600 stage size. The original images are stored at 1024x768 max pixels. The user can press a button to go into fullscreen mode. What should I do to show the images at the best quality?
a) should I resize the loaded images to their max size (1024x768).
b) do I need to reload the entire image if it has been resized to 800x600 or is the original image still accessible and I can replace the 800x600 image with the original?
I am using AS2 and Flash 8 (but require users to have Flash Player 10 for fullscreen)
I have created a game in which the user controls a object which moves across the bottom of the screen firing bullets at fish which randomly swim across the screen. My problem however is that when the timer runs out some of the fish stay on the screen instead of disappearing, I have tried everything to make them all go away but I always end up with one or two which stay stuck and remain there no matter what the user does. My code for the balloons moving n disappearing is as follows:
function moveBalloons() {
// loop through balloons in array
for(i=balloons.length-1;i>=0;i--) {
// get speed and clip
dx = balloons[i].d;
balloon = _root[balloons[i].clip];

the aim of this script is to make a slide show, loading images form an external file (called: images) they fade in, then fade out, then load the next swf in the Next Level.My Question is that I cannot manage to set different times when the image load to stay in the screen (1, 2, 3 sec (1000, 2000, 3000 miliseconds) and then to fade.They Need to fade in, stay 1,2 or three seconds, and then fade out... but its not working, I used the SetIntervalID but nothing after loading the 1.swf this will call a 2.swf with a different time of the image to remain, lets say 5 sec, and then this swf will call the 3.swf and remain 8 sec??[code]

View 2 RepliesI've searched for almost a whole week to get this thing converted,I found a great tutorial for a scrollbar that was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something that didn't have up or down buttons, had a thin line for the track, and a circular dragger. However, it was written in AS2. I've tried to convert it myself, but I'm a complete beginner, and I know nothing about AS3 code, or AS2 for that matter. So, I've managed to get the scroller icon to move, but it moves all over the screen & doesn't stay put

i've got 5 images. i want the following things to happen:
1. the placeholder movie clip automatically tweens to adjust to the image's dimensions.
2. the transition between each image is a la: www.barbariangroup.com -- front page when you enter
3. the images stay on the screen for approx. 5 seconds each.
I have several buttons, that link to several scenes, containing swf files. Using the loadmovie command I can get these swf's playing on-screen. That's good.
-How can I control where they appear on my document (I'd guess these require some x or y values, but not sure how this is done) as they all appear in the top left-hand corner.
- When I mouse over another button (link to scene/swf) how can I remove the previous swf from the page, then load the new swf -as they all appear in the same spot/all over each other? Is this an unload movie command?
I was hoping to counter this problem by using different scenes (no luck there) and all I really need to do is remove the previously loaded swf, when the new one is loaded.
I need to have a series of four numbers appear randomly with fade in and out and stay on screen for a couple of seconds each. These are then linked through to separate movie instances that display relevant information regarding that number and then go back to the random numbers. There are options to randomly display text from an external file, but not library objects within the same movie. I have a cobbled together version using scenes and timeline animation, but it's repetitive. It needs to be more random and effective as a visual element.
View 2 RepliesI am using an external actionscript file, and I have dynamically loading images that stay on the screen for X amount of seconds (the user can set the value of x), then it loads the next image. However, this user would like for there to be a transition, For Example, have it fade out and have the next image in line fade in after the image has been displayed on the screen for X amount of seconds. This user would also like a loading bar, much like the one on the flash banner here: [URL] between each image transition.
I also have it so when someone hovers over a button, the flash banner stops, once they rollout X is reset to 1 and starts the counter again, and sets the movie to play at frame 1. Here is the actionscript file: [URL]
I want an air application to be able to update the assets it uses, but minimizing the download needed, so only downloading files added since it last updated.I'm thinking this would include a server portion which would zip the needed files based on a version number? Has anyone implemented anything similar / got any thoughts on the best approach to building this sort of system?
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip clip that plays when the movie starts, the movieclip is a visual assets that show's that the application is loading some information but it's not showing any loading progress, just playing while the assets are loaded.I created a for loop that will load the assets using a simple loader, and then when the object is loaded the application push the object to an array.Problem is that when the loading starts all the animation that i have on screen stops until the loading is finished.The whole point is that the animation will play while it's loading.

whenever I set my sound to stream and continue to make a movie with multiple scenes. The audio and video get disgustingly out of sync sometimes even off by 30 seconds. I just started an animation its only 10 seconds long with two scenes and the AV is already off by about 5 seconds. Ive worked around this by avoiding scenes altogether but i really don't want to have another 5000 frame scene. I discovered this problem in Flash MX and Im quite annoyed that it still has't been fixed 3 years later!
View 1 RepliesI have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
I am working with a project that has many scenes. Each scene has a movie clip attached to it. The first scene is simple...just a couple of buttons and that is it. My worry is that when I add all of the videos that correspond with each button and publish the SWF will be a huge file. THE QUESTION: Does flash load ALL scenes of a movie or does it load the first scene and then load the other scenes when the user needs to view them?
My ultimate goal is to just have the first scene load and then when the user clicks on the buttons contained within that scene that only upon release does the corresponding scene load. Maybe I am doing this completely wrong and should look at doing it another way.
How can I write this snippet of code for a button in AS3?I'm having a hard time completing this.Here is my AS2 code.It is attached to a button.[code]

View 1 RepliesI am using the following line of code in my Flash movie: navigateToURL(request,"_blank");However, when I am using Internet Explorer 7 (with tabbed browsing enabled), and this code is called to open a link, the link is opened in a new tab, but IE7 does not switch you to view that tab as you would expect!When I open a link in a normal web page in IE7 (and the link opens in a new tab because _blank was specified in the HTML code for that link), IE7 will switch you to that new tab to see the web page you just opened, so why does it not happen when using Flash?I know that within the settings for IE7, there is a setting that you can tick that says, Always switch to new tabs when they are created, and this solves the problem. However, many web site visitors will not have this ticked.How can I make sure that when a user opens a link in a new tab from my Flash movie, IE7 switches to that tab?I am using ActionScript 3.0 and Flash CS4.
