I have a 'contact us' panel(contact_mc) that is loaded from the library with a button on a menu bar. When this is loaded in, a "close" button (closecontact_mc) is also loaded next to the panel. The panel and button load perfectly when run. Next I want the panel and 'close' button to be removed from the stage when the 'close' button is clicked.

I'm creating a minesweeper game as my first flash project, but I'm already stuck on something technical. I have created a button named Button which contains a bitmap. I have a lot of instances of that button on stage, and they are put there by actionscript using a for-loop. Their instance names are button0, button1, button2, button3, etc.
This is the code for the eventlistener: It's in the first keyframe of the actions layer.
var buttonListener:Object=new Object();
buttonListener.click=function(evt:Object):Void{
trace("clicked");
} for (i=0; i<rows*cols; i++) {
eval("button"+i).addEventListener("click", buttonListener);
}
I also noticed that when I do this for one button that I created myself and put on the stage manually, this also doesn't work, but when I pick one of the predefined buttons, it works just fine.
I've created buttons that light up when moused over. They work fine but I need them under a semi-transparent layer that has been imported and when I move them under it they stop working.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to sett up an workflow for a project. I am going to do the programming and a friend of mine the graphics.I would like him to be able to update the graphic on the final movie without the need of publishing the full project. We are sitting on different locations and usually work at different times. So i was thinking of making separate swf for each of the movieclips. And importing these at runtime.Then he could do his magic and preview this if he uploaded them.I have done some small tests and can't seem to get these imported swf to work properly. Should this work?Any suggestion on how to set up a good workflow for this project? Or at least what to search for.
View 1 RepliesThere are enough examples on the internet to learn how to make your own Class, here's an example of what I did, it is saved as a seperate *.as-File:[code]The Idea is that I can add a bunch of descriptions (for multiple persons) to an holder array, which allows me to do more with them.Actionscript has no idea what this "Character" is. Instead I'm getting the Errorcodes
-1046 (Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Character)
-1180 (Call to a possibly undefined method Character)
I have a Flex project that is the application master for my site. It loads a swf I built in Flash which has a runtime bones animation using a Loader. The runtime bones work if they are loaded without Flex.
Is there a way to make bones work if they are loaded by Flex?
Created a runtime bone animation (more complicated than the one included in this example).When I loaded the swf using the Loader class in master application, the runtime animation stopped working.I included my source files for the bones, and another fla that only calls the Document class Main.as.Try running bonesRuntime.html, and the runtime bones work; call bonesSwfLoader.html and only the authortime bones work.
View 5 RepliesIm making a flash project in flash cs3 using As2.It is a large interactive game with imported external swfs throughout,Ive placed the lockroot code in all the external swfs.
When i play the external swfs on their own they play perfectly put when imported into the main.fla they don't work properly,some of the functionality doesnt work properly..As an example I have made a jigsaw game using drag n drop and targets, where the code
if(this._droptarget == "/dropTargetOne")
{
_root.dragger1.gotoAndStop("5");}
}
appears I have problems because the code _root.dragger1.gotoAndStop("5"); doesnt work when imported as an external swf.I've tried using this._parent but no success.So I think the problem is to do with using _root which I was hoping would be sorted with this._lockroot = true;

I made an animation for my company's website using an FLV via an FLVPlayback component instance. I have working code that gets it to loop, but there is a small seconds hesitation between the end and the beginning of the playback which I'd like to get rid of (the individual frames were designed for it to be seamless). You can see the "glitch" I'm refering to here if you'd like: [URL]
The code I'm using that works is attached.
I've been trying to see if I can make it seamless by using cue points. The problem is the movie gets to the end, auto rewinds to 0 and stops. I know the cue points are there and working because I ran a trace and they outputed just fine. There are only two cue points one at 00:00:00.000 named beginLoop and one at 00:01:24.000 called endLoop (total time is 84.866 seconds). I must be doing something wrong with the code but I've been playing with variations of these and reading tutorials and help content files, etc for two days now. If anyone could show me what I'm doing wrong in the code, I'd be very grateful. The attached code is what I think should be close.

//this is the code that works but with the small "glitch

I am having trouble getting a simple event listener class to work. The class is:
Code:

and I have the ClassPath pointing to the folder that contains this .as file. I do get the trace "In setUp" but I'm not getting seeing any Keyboard events. There also aren't any errors showing up in output so I am kind of stumped.
it seemed like a simple process but I cant seem to get this right... I got a button there, but the URL wont go, ie, the click does nothing.I imported a PSD layered image to Flash CS3, into a new blank layer. I need basically an area of this PSD to be "image mapped" so what I did was create a rectangle with the rect tool, over the area I needed the hot spot.Here I tried to do a transparent box and border (alpha 0) but the outline is still there even though the box is "empty." I did select the transparent box, no color, and tried alpha, both same result)I made that into a symbol, then I double clicked into there to fill in the key pts for the over, hit, etc., states.... I dont have any effects here btw, as simple as we can get.After that I right clicked on the buttonand entered the action script ("reserve" is the name of my button symbol)
reserve.onRelease=function(){
getURL("http://www.redeggnyc.com/menu2.htm");
}

I have an eventListener that is listening for the end of an audio channel that is playing an external MP3:
ActionScript Code:
d1Channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete, false, 0, true);
function soundComplete( e:Event ):void {

This works beatifully when I am running a test movie on my computer, and even the fully published SWF. But when I load it on the web server, and run it in a browser. This doesn't do anything. Once the audio is done, nothing happens.
I have a movieclip with 3 frames. each frame has a button on it. Using actionscript I jump to a frame then add an event listener to that button.However, it doesn't work since the playhead for that movieclip doesn't actually get moved to a different frame until the frame redraws. So actionscript says the button doesn't exist.(other than not dynamically adding the buttons with code... which will be my next step...)
View 1 RepliesIs there a reason why a keyboard event listener would not work if the flash is embedded in an HTML? The rest of my game is running fine in the background, but I can't launch the movieClip "nextCar." My code is below, if that makes any difference...

Atm im putting a a game i build into my main flash app.Everything works fine except the keyboard listener.unny.AFTER a mouse click on the 'loaded' swf the keys 'arrow UP' + 'arrow DOWN' start working.I created already a script that loads the listeners IF they are not loaded yet, but i think thats not the problem. Same situation.After clicking on the movie it starts to work, but apparently the listeners are already applied. All other listeners work besides the keyboard listeners.Stand alone(the game swf running by its own) the game works perfectly!btw the game is importing a main document class.
Code:
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN
var keybListenerLoadedUp:Boolean = false;

View 3 RepliesI have a swf named garage. When you click the garage door it opens and a tool chest emerges. You can either click on the gargage door again to close it or click on the top of the tool chest to close it. The drawers on the tool chest represent buttons that will bring up a contact form to be sent to the perspective person. These buttons are a secondary navigation. The main movie that is importing garage.swf has navigation for the contact forms. I need to code the buttons on the tool chest to match the code on the main movie so if you click the buttons on the tool chest they will respond as if they were the buttons in the main movie that it has been imported by.

i am trying to define a button state class where i can give the class some params and have it load a thumbnail (large files were a previous problem for me on this) that will be displayed upon rollOver. i'm having some troubles with a couple of key points:
1. i don't know how to pass in a reference to a movieClip that i can refer to in order to change its state (x location, for example) 2. i don't know how to send a status message to the host script (main timeline AS code will need to deal with such a message) after the img has been loaded
*both of these would REALLY help me understand some of the mechanics involved with AS2 OO programming,
