So, at one time I w s fairly familliar with Flash, but I amnow returning to it I have a movie clip that Iam using AS3 to control, basically it slides out when your rolloverit and then slides out when you mouse off it. This is my code:
OPEN:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code].....
I'm sure this is a really basic problem and hope someone can steer me in the right direction.I have moving objects on stage all with a width of exactly 100 pixels. They're part of a collision array. I need to know their radii so I created a variable that looks like this:radius = objectName.width/2;You would think that this would result in 50. However, when I do a trace of their values in an enterFrame loop, I get a range of numbers that looks like this when the objects are standing still:
Code:
51.325
52.075
[code]....
I'm trying to get bounds of an object for more specific testing. but it's not functioning very well.The relevant code here, with some debug outputs:
Code:
private function getCorrectionVector(object:Array, block:Array):Array
{
var ret:Array = new Array();
[code]...
The debug output from running this , is this:
Code:
GCV: Checking objects: 95.7 344.2 0.35,1.35
GCV: Checking objects: 48 48 0,0
[code]...
I am producing an array of numbers 1-25, shuffling and tracing the output. When I 'Test Movie' I am not getting the expected results. What I get is something like this.
[Code]...
I want to create a MovieClip button that when the mouse rolls over it, it scales larger and then when the mouse rolls out of it, it scales back to normal size.If i move the mouse cursor over and out of it slowly, the animation is fine, but if enter the mouse over it on one side and out on the other side or jerk my mouse around it acts as if the EventListeners and their respective Tween code has been reversed. I have even seen on occasion the square filling the whole screen.Here's my code:(this is written from memory and not copy pasted from flash, but before you say anything, I do have the proper imports for classes in the code so I wont include them here.
Code:
var yTween:Tween = new Tween(myMc, "scaleY", Elastic.easeOut, 1, 2, 2, true);
yTween.stop();
[code].....
I'm trying to make a textfield inside a sprite zoom upon mousing over the sprite. I'm instantiating tweens on the x, y, scaleX, and scaleY properties of the sprite. The x and y tweens are needed due to the top left registration. Also, the tweens are added to an array to ensure they finish. Sometimes it works as I intended, but when I mouse over from the bottom right corner, the sprite jumps haphazardly towards the top left and back until I mouse out, instantiating another set of tweens to return the sprite to it's original state. I'm not sure what to do other than using a custom tweening engine such as Tweener. I'm using the built in tweening classes and I'm hoping to find a solution within these parameters.
View 5 RepliesSo I've got a function that does several things: It creates video cue points, loads content & executes a function based on those cue points, and finally, sets the eventlistener for the video.
The problem I'm having (after tracing it out) is that the variables within the function seem to be stored as an 'array-like' deal. In other words, the variables output as they should when initially clicked. Next time the code executes, it outputs the newest variable values then IMMEDIATELY the first variable values. This output 'builds' and builds but ultimately the content never dynamically changes as it always ends up loading the first content that was loaded very first time out. I'm *guessing* it has something to do with the event listener being re-instantiated? Tried modifying where I add the listener to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Code:
function vidPlay(vidName) {
swfText.gotoAndStop(1); // mc1 to load external data & play a function
swfText._alpha = 100;
[Code]....
I still haven't been able to figure this one out. My best guess is something to do with the eventlistener being re-instatiated each time the function is called, but I'm not sure. Again, it seems to either be 'storing' the variables in a backwards array somehow (first variable is stored and accessed last at all times) or maybe somehow it's creating multiple instances of the eventlistener and the variables are being pulled from the first iteration of it.
I'm not working on my usual windows computer, but on my friend's mac.This mac has no graphics card, and a slower cpu. the result is a decrease in fps from 55+- to 20+-. the strange thing is: the screen doesnt seem to lagg at all. but all the objects are moving very slowly.It's very strange.I do all the movement and calculations etc, not in onEnterFrame, but in a TimerEvent.TIMER event listener. now how come this is the case?because what i'd expect to happen, is that everything moves at normal speed, but with laggs.whats going on?
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.
What action script would i need to make a button in one movie clip goto and play a frame in another movie clip? Im not very good at flash but i've been trying my usual codes but it dont work..

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.

Anyway what I need to do is have a movie clip finish playing when a button is clicked and then go to the frame label associated with the button. I hope I'm explaining myself ok. So if I had say 4 buttons Home Gallery About Contact If Contact is clicked then I want the Home page to play (Which is a fade out) and then go to Contact Page (which will fade in). Then If Gallery is clicked then I want Contact to fade out and then go to Gallery page and fade in.
View 6 RepliesI am looking for a way to fade in a white movie clip over my main movie when a button is pressed.
(i.e. When you press a button, a white rectangle will fade in over all other layers and then fade out after a couple of seconds. This is to make it look like the different pages are fading in and out without having to build the transition over and over again.)
I have two buttons that are movie clips in Flash CS4 and when button 1 is on Over stage, I want the button 2 stop movie clip at the certain frame.
View 8 RepliesI have a MC, which i would like to act as a button, controlled by AS. So,inside the MC is a simple animation (the button just goes left for ten frames (preferred rollOver action) and then back for another ten (preferred rollOut action).On the MC actions I put:
on (rollOver) {
this.useHandCursor;
this.gotoAndPlay(1);[code].......
What happens is the following: on mouse over the mc goes left, on mouse out the mc goes back to its original place.It works exactly as it is supposed to. Exactly until you try again... if you move the mouse away from the mc (onRollOut), before the animation reaches the end, it goes bezerk.what happens and also how the animation can be done using only AS (with some for loop or function or something and chaning _x property)?
