I have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?

View 1 RepliesI have a thumbs_mc with thumbnail images. Within thumbs_mc, I have a transparent overlay_mc that functions as a button. Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.

so i have some thumbnails for a gallery and im trying to make them only appear if the user has loaded a thumbnail for it. i will let the code speak...

_root.mainarea.six.galleries[thumbnail]._visible = true;
} else {
[Code]....
i cant seem to get the operator or the measuring correct. is there some glaring error in the "<=" or something ?
I have an image gallery app that has a slider to control the width of the thumbnails that ranges from 80 to 1024. As you move the slider the thumbnails width changes to effectively scaling the image between 80px and 1024px. Below the thumbnail is some information about the image such as the name, size, dimensions, etc. There is also a set of icons that do various tasks (delete, edit, copy, etc). All of this information is located within a VBox.The problem I am having is I would like to have the VBox hide when the width of the thumbnail reaches 150 px or below. This I have been able to accomplish with the following code:
<mx:VBox visible = "{thumbnail.width > 150}">The issue is that while the information within the VBox is now not visible, the real estate it takes up is not released. In other words, there is now a blank space the exact size of the VBox. What I'd like to do is to be able to release this space. I know this is probably something simple that I'm overlooking, but today my brain is just not working,
I haven't been using Flash long enough to know if I'm using Flash 8 Actionscript or Flash MX 2004 Actionscript, etc. I don't really know the difference or where to look so an explanation about that would also be helpful.I do know I'm using Actionscript 2, in CS4.Basically I'm needing help switching between sounds based on visibility of other items.I've got 15 buttons; buttons 1 to 5 making one of objects 1 to 5 visible and turning the others off, and buttons 6 to 10 and 11 to 15 doing the same for items 6 to 10 and 11 to 15 respectively.I'm trying to make three sounds play when a point on the timeline is met. Sound 1 is dependant on which of object 1 to 5 is visible, etc.Everything I've tried has either not worked or ended up with sounds overlapping/playing oddly. I can't find anything on the internet specific enough to help, so I thought I'd ask specifically.As I've said, I'm relatively new to Actionscript.
View 3 RepliesWhat I am trying to do is capture the name of the button which is clicked and add "hl" to it, which is the name of another movieclip already on stage. This part works. Then with that modified name I want to set the visibility of the second movieclip, ie "popUp0hl", to true. This is not working. None of these MCs are created dynamically by the way.
var highLight:String = evt.currentTarget.name + "hl"; //This traces out fine
this[highLight].visible = true;//Here is the problem area

View 2 RepliesI found an earlier post with the following solution for mouseover visibility control.

}
What changes would I make to use the space bar as a toggle for visibility? Or would I need something completely different?

I'm trying to have a movieclip i have as a background for a textfield resize based on the size of the textfield.
I tried this with no luck:
ActionScript Code:

tBack.tbox.width= tBack.desc_txt.width;

Does anyone know of an existing flash (swf) based audio control that is available (free or commercial) that provides a timeline waveform visualization with the ability to select and play a portion of the timeline?For example, the flash control used by this website... http:[url]....It does exactly what I'm wanting to do. I need this capability to allow a user to mark a section of an audio file which can then be synchronized with other visual elements on a web page using javascript.
It is important that the user be able to see the wave form of the audio because they can save time by visually guessing where certain sounds start and end in a file. The user can then select this block of the audio and preview the sound and tweak the selection if need be.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make an animation where the user can mouse over a small MC at the top of the stage, which controls the movement of another larger MC at the bottom of the stage.I am thinking that 'points' (which I know nothing about) might be the way to go. The other thing is that it needs to be fluid motion. Am I at least on the right track with points and mouse_move or is there a better approach for this?

What I am trying to do is get the animation of the audio levels (red bars next to the power switch) to only happen while a video is actually playing (videos are in the video gallery section). I have the animation done and I can easily get it to start and stop based on pressing the play and stop buttons, but since they start and pause the video you would get instances where the video isn't playing but the audio levels would be animated, which I don't want.
Here is an example of the code in the play button (using NetConnection and NetStream to play the videos):
Code:
play_btn.onPress = function() {
playSound.start();
infoText_txt.text = "PLAY";
my_ns.pause(spotToPlay);
};
The only way I can think to make it work exactly as I want it is to have Flash look to see if the video is actually playing or not and I can't figure out how to do this or if its even possible using the NetStream command I am using to start and stop the videos.

View 3 RepliesI have a main swf which has as3 code on the timeline. I have created a new small swf (a picture gallery) using external .as files (OOP) that works well on its own. I want to load the small swf (through a button on an array) into the main swf. When I click on my button in the main swf, it does not load the small swf (or I think, it cannot read the classes formed through OOP). I get the following error message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::Script()TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I have a navigation bar, it has 4 buttons on it, home, about, photos, and contact. There is a movie corresponding to each button that will load a 100 frame animation.
Home: home_MC, About: about_MC, etc.

I would like for the first 80 frames of home_MC to play, and then stop and wait until someone clicks one of the navigation buttons (home, about, etc..) and then continue playing. How to make a timeline based eventlistener, that when the event occurs will make the timeline (that is stopped) continue?

View 2 RepliesI have text that loads into a dynamic text field that is on the stage. The movie clip("tile" in code below) in which the dynamic text field resides is placed on the stage via loop function.I can load the text from the xml file just fine.However, since each text field in loop autosizes, which is what I want, (in height only-width is fixed), I want the next text in the loop to load in a Y position based on the previous text box height including a "cushion" of my choosing. I'm very close, but can't seem to get the math right that is needed for the tiles Y position...
Here it is:

var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("faq.xml"));

I'm trying to make a faux 3D rotation animation where if the user mouses to the right the object rotates right and if the user mouses to the left the object rotates left. Depending on how far they move the mouse the rotation should speed up or slow down.I spent a lot of time making an object in 3d studio max and importing the animation of rotation as JPEGs onto the timeline. I figured the most efficient way to go about this would be to make the mouse control the timeline instead of the object itself.
