I want to create some kind of counter that goes up as the buttons in several different scenes are clicked.In the final scene, I want an "if" statement that will use the number in the counter to determine which movie clips are visible and which are not.a.k.a,
If Counter.value == 1
onething.visible = true
else if Counter.value == 2

Here's what I'm trying to do (in example form): I have a movie clip called "dude". Dude is animated to walk around, then drop a cigar (all inside the movie clip). But the problem is, dude moves, so if you try and move dude as the cigar is dropping, the cigar moves with him. So what I want to do is create a new movie clip instance called "cigar" OUTSIDE of the movie clip dude right as he's dropping it, so that you can move him without moving the cigar. Get it? I've attached another helpful animation to explain.
What I have right now is, on the 13th frame of dude, a few lines of code that create and place an instance of cigar. In that frame I also have an invisible instance of cigar for me to duplicate. Inside of the cigar movie clip is the animation that makes it fall to the ground. I need to change that code so that the instance of cigar is created outside of the movie clip dude. Here's the code I have now (inside of dude, on frame 13):

I've been following a flash tutorial, It's a complicated piece. You'll have to look at it to see for yourselves.My main problem is that I would like to try to add buttons to the scrolling 'menu' movie clips, that would enable me to go to a new scene. I've tried the '_parent.gotoAndPlay(2)' etc, but due to my very basic knowledge of action-scripting I can't get it to work.
View 10 Repliesjust wanted to know is there a way to pause all the movie clips except 1 in a scene. Coz i want a scene where everything is playing and when an action occurs to a movie clip, it continues playing but pauses the rest halfway through their animations.......
View 5 RepliesI have 5 movie clips on one scene layered on top of each other. One of them is the navigation which has 4 buttons. the other 4 layers are my content pages (MCs) which fade in and fade out along the timeline.
I want the buttoms to control the content pages.. when "option 1" is selected I would like the current page to start playing (where i have it fading out along its timeline) and the other page to come in!
I have no idea how to do this.... do you use IF commands?? if buttonpress etc
In Scene 1, after pressing a button user goes to Scene 2. After coming back from that to Scene 1, All movie clips in other layers are null.
This is my code that goes to Scene 1:
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 1");WHY?
How do i pass variable from scene 1 to a movie clip? my movie clip name is over_mc. within the movie clips and scene 1 each have a textbox. i want to pass from the scene 1 textbox to the movie clip textbox. and display on the movie clip textbox.
View 0 RepliesI have 6 scenes, the first scene has 5 pictures that i converted to buttons. each button goes to a different scene to play the appropriate movie clip. right now it shows up with scene 1, then i click on the button and it goes to the appropriate movie clip but after it finishes playing it just goes to the next clip on the next scene, then after it is finished it goes to the next clip on the next scene and so on. i would like to know is there some way i can make the movie clips return to scene 1 after they finish playing?
View 1 Replieshow to imitate a reflection of a movie clip in a "mirror." I don't know if I should have the initial movie clip on custom cursor or have it set to drag... but either way I don't know how to make the second clip the "reflection follow along. Obviously it would need to follow at a slightly offset pattern so that you would be able to see both clips (or majority of them) at the same time. It's for a school project that is due at 9am tomorrow so time is of the essence!!
View 4 RepliesMy game is initialized by calling the newBall function below. Every 10 seconds a new ball is created to increase the difficulty by calling the same function. The function works and creates the new ball movie clip, however the previous ball object gets destroyed for some reason. I have an array called ballArr that is supposed to keep track of all of the ball movie clips. I thought that by concatenating the name of the instance with an incrementing number that it wouldn't overwrite the existing object... what am I doing wrong?

function newBall() {
var ballNum = ballArr.length + 1;
var ball = this.attachMovie("ball_mc", "i" + string(ballNum), 0, {

Ok so my website is a basic portfolio site. the interface is as follows: on the right is a box shape...to the left are my buttons and on the top is my logo and such. now for my coding questions.
1. I want a gallery to appear in the box showing my work
2. My buttons are named "Photoshop", "Illustrator", and "Indesign", i would like to have it so when you click on each button a new window gallery will appear in the box to show my work for each pogram
3. How do i insert my images? Do i just place them in my library in Flash? Do i use dreamweaver?
thats pretty much it.Unfortunately my teacher is refusing to teach coding.
I am very new to Action Script 3.0.My experience has been with 2.0 creating Movie Clips and using the timeline. My concern is after several days of trying to understand why my button was appearing as a null object.
My main timeline has 20 frames. There is a stop action on Frame 14.On frame 14 is where I've a button to advance the viewer to frame 15. This is where my trouble starts. After advancing the viewer 1 frame to frame 15, there are 3 buttons.
1)First question is in order for my buttons to work - they must be on the main timeline and not nested in a Movie Clip (correct)? 2)Second question is because I am trying to implement good Action Script practices, I've put all m y code on one frame.(Frame 14)
Unfortunately, this is where I kept getting an error about "Null Object". My 'problem-' button comes 1 frame after the Action Script.The work around for me was to insert a keyframe with the problem button and move the button off the stage.
I would like to try and get in the habit of using AS 3.0 to call Flash Objects to the stage, but it just doesn't seem to be working. Are the methods of using "Package", import Flash -"Movie Clip" or "Sprite" the preferred? Or should I just stick with my very simple way of working? I am afraid it will cause problems down the road and cause unncesassary load times becasue I've got everything on the stage - even when not needed. But, this seems to be the only way my movies work.
If i have created an animation in 'scene 1' on flas, and i really want this animation to be in a movie clip, is there any way i can transport the contents of scene 1 to a movie clip held within scene 1? (the animation only has one layer)

My problem is with creating duplicate movie clips, and then being able to access them again, to move them, or whatever.... you can see more details HERE

View 12 RepliesI have a site I am working on for an athletic garment manufacturer. They would like to have a sample creator (product configurator) on the site so customers can get an idea what their ordered garments are going to look like. I have it all working except for one needed feature.The customer has requested that the creator have an input box where the customer can type their team name and have it appear on the drawn garment. They also need to be able to decide whether they want the name to appear in one of several various shapes. Similar to the Nike team builder am having a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to shape text in actionscript. With all of the shape tweening flash can do from the interface you would think a function would be available in actionscript

I'm working on a project that requires a numeric value to be stored in one scene and called in another- is this possible in ActionScript.
For example, I need to create a timer that times how long it takes for the user to preform the action, and save the value. In the next scene, I need that same value from before to be called in that scene.
Is it possible to create a completely dynamic menu by creating empty movie clips and loading external images into them? I'm experimenting with this, but it seems there is no way to create rollover/release functions for these dynamically created MC's.

View 1 RepliesI've developed a touch screen flash application for a sneakers (shoe) shop. It has a 'find a shoe' section, which isn't causing problems, and an 'about' section, which is.The about section is a heavily animated history of sneaker culture. It's animated via the timeline, not via AS3. The problem is that with prolonged use of the about section, idle CPU usage grows, and memory usage grows, eventually making the app unusably slow.
I've made a 'minified' app that does nothing other than create/delete 50 instances of my 'about' movie clip - it doesn't even add those instances to the stage. I've cut basically all code out of the 'about' class, which is shown below:

i am creating 10 Circle movie clips dynamically and giving each of them a width and height random from 1 to 50, I am creating these CELLS to react to eachother in an environment that I create, well anyway everything is going good but this, SPEED
i would like the smallest cells to have a speed of .05 and from then on the larger the cell the smaller the speed, Every ... property i guess you could say... of the cell is proportional to it's width.
have an odometer type thing, that would go up 9 times a second, and it would go up whether you are on the site or not.So if I started it now, and checked back in on the site in a couple of days it would be at say 300,000, and then I would check back in a couple days later and it might be at 600,000.How would I go about doing this. I have an mc with the actual digit animations..
