How do I fix it so that the fly continues moving in its appropriate path every time the animation starts over?
Im using an animated movieclip to create a pulldown menu..the thing is that I want to anymate the buttons inside the pulldown as well..so I therefore used a similar movieclip inside the pulldown menu to make this animation

View 1 RepliesI have a list of street names. I need to get them into a listbox, so when you select one, a MovieClip (let's call it "my_mc1"), jumps to a marker on the map. Each marker has it's own coordinates ( x, y ) and InstanceName ("mr1" , "mr2", 'mr3' ...). So, I need a MovieClip that jumps to a point when a street is selected in a listbox.

View 1 RepliesI need to create an animated character that can run across the screen. The page(s) are HTML pages and are separate from the Flash file I want to create. The SWF would be used on a bunch of pages.
View 2 RepliesI have an animated fish crossing the screen. I made that using the animated fish (movieclip1) following a path on a guide layer. All these are into another movieclip (2). I want in mouse hover condition to accelerate the tween. In other words I want the user to point the fish with the mouse (mouse hover) and then the fish tries to escape (tween acceleration). How can I accelerate the tween?Keep in mind that in fish movieclip(1) I have more than one Tweens. So the code must be for selected tween (named by frame label). Another thing is that acceleration mustn't be directly from 0 to 1. There must be an ease on the start and on the end of acceleration so it can be more realistic. I am not related on programming so I would like a complete answer (not just directions)

I am making a game and need to know how much a particular mc is covered by other mc's placed randomly on the screen.Is there a way to tell how much is left seen of the mc as it's slowly being covered by other mc's?
View 3 Repliesso i am having trouble with adding a box randomly on the screen. I have done this before and it seems like it should have a relatively easy solution. But alas, i have not been able to figure this out. This is the info: I have a box mc with exporting as Box. I have a Box Actionscript file with this code in it:

Nothing happens at all but there is no errors. Also i would like to keep everything in the classes.
On my previous post Adding a object randomly on the screen in as3 I explained the specifics of my situation. But I will go over it again. I have a box with a class(not my document class. I do have one called Main but this one is just an AS class referencing my box.) The classes name is Box and my MC box is exported as Box. This is the codethis is in my main file on the main timline
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, createbox);
var _box:Box = new Box;
var boxlimit:int = 2;

Kinda of new to all this Flash stuff and need some help working on an animation. I want to have four circles move around the screen randomly. When the user moves his mouse over a circle, I would like it to stop and be bale to use it as a link.
I have used the Flash MX script off the site and can get the circles to move about fine. Just haveing some problems getting them to stop when the mouse is moved over them, and making them into links.
I have a simple litte banner I did with flash (version 9.0). Just a few images and some text that I fade in and out with a motion tween. When i publish this to an animated gif, the text turns into blobs on the screen.

I have a bunch of dots moving randomly on the screen. They are all copied and pasted versions of one MC with some script attached. Over the top of them is a giant invisible button. When I click the button (anywhere on thescreen) a VISIBLE button appears. When I click again (anywhere on the screen) I want all the randomly moving dots to move towards the VISIBLE button.

This is the third thread I've written for my current project (1st was answered perfectly, 2nd failed [but I still figured it out anyways]) but I'm not sure if there is a solution to this problem. I can't really explain my problem, so once again I've included a helpful animation to show you what I mean. Bear in mind that the pale-blue box represents the movie clip's borders, and those borders are usually changed to include the animation (instead of the borders moving with the animation, the borders get bigger).
For the animation problem, I've already got a solution: create an invisible movie clip that has the exact size and shape of the animated movie clip and make it follow the movie clip as it animates, and make the hitTest check the invisible movie clip instead of the animated one. As for the rotation problem, well, I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to change that?
I've managed to get a sensor attached to an arduino talking to flash using something called AS3glue. it works, when i set up a trace("leaf") for the contition that the sensor reads 0, i get a printout of the word "leaf". however i want the program to make a graphic appear on the screen when this condition is met, not just trace something.
I'm trying to get the program to generate a library object called "Enemy" on the screen at a random position each time the conditions are met. It's called enemy because I was following a game tutorial...actually it's a drawing of a leaf. Here's the bit of the code which is causing me problems:

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 have an over_mc on the stage that is set up for MouseEvents, everything seems to work the way I want until i move the mouse off the area before the movie slider_mc has finished playing. After that the movie only jumps between the start and end of the animation and none of the frames between. slider_mc is a MC with 30 frames and a motion tween. Frame 1 is labeled "start" and frame 15 "middle" with stops(); on both frame 1 and frame 15 in the AS layer. slider_mc is an arrow that moves across the stage and stops on a mouse over, it moves off the stage in on a mouseout.

I am making a game in Flash CS4 (actionscript 3) and I would like to be able to make "copies" of an instance that would randomly appear at the top of the screen and fall. For example, multiple objects(that are the same one) are falling from the top of the screen continuously, starting at random X positions. (i think this would be considered Real-Time effect).
View 2 RepliesGoal: Now, I want to be able to drag and drop this character movieclip around the stage as I please, leaving him wherever I want, with all of his movements still going on AND the mouseover movements as well.Logic: Since, when the mouse is over this character, I need the drag option area to be a little x or any object close to him, so it doesnt interfere with the movieclips mouse over effects. (could simply be a little rectangle saying: drag me)Problem: Iave no idea how to do this... I am only now starting with this Actionscript world! Donī get me wrong, I am not lazy, Ive been researching but couldnt find exactly what Im looking for.
View 2 RepliesI have a problem concerning the size of an animated MovieClip.What I want to do is drawing a frame (.graphics.drawRect(...), etc.) around a loaded image file. This works well on loaded images that are static, no matter if it is a jpg, png or a non-animated swf.However, if I load a swf that is animated, its width and height properties are simply wrong. Much too small. They are, however, always the same wrong values for the same animated swf.I also tried with getBounds and getRect on the loaded swf (which I put in as a MovieClip), with the same results.What's up with this and how can I get the real size of the swf?
What we could do would be to insert a fully transparent layer into each swf that would define its size. That would hopefully make the MovieClip always have the correct size. But I would prefer a working way during runtime that workaround works, but I'd still prefer a way that does not involve additional work for our artists (minimal as it might be).
