I am trying to define a clip to be dragged based on the clip used in the mouseEvent. It doesn't like that I am trying to create the var dragItem three times. It says, "A conflict exists with definition dragItem in namespace internal."Is there a way to do this that I am not seeing?
Code:
function mousePress(evt:MouseEvent):void

i wanna write a function for the onPress handler for a movieclip that will be created dynamically.. how do i do it? this is what i'm doing:
only the ending part of this loop is relevant, where i am writing the thisMC.onpress function. The trace text never appears..
Code:
for (var i = 0; i<galleryLength; i++)
{
var thisMC:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("image"+i+"_mc", i);
loadMovie(gallery_array[i].src, thisMC);
[Code]....
this whole loop is inside the onClipEvent(load) of another clip. So when that clip is loaded, this code is executed..
I need a flash based video player that is able to trigger events I can listen to via JavaScript. The events I need to listen to are:
The play button is pressed The pause button is pressed The video stops (is finished)

For each button i wanna different html url.

I have some movie clips that I want to load by using a text box. The way I want to do it is to have a text box and based on the word typed into it call the respective movieclip. My problem is that I do not know how to call the function based on the event of someone hitting the "enter" key.
View 3 RepliesI have a client that wants a flip book that works identical to this. The problem is, he wants it to turn pages on its own. Preferably at the end of a soundclip. I'm having issues with this, because this is in AS2, and I can't get anything to work from a sound type event! > <
View 8 RepliesI need to load in a schedule of events (xml).These events are precisely timed (down to a tenth of a second).The events (like, attach movie to main screen) need to last for a very precise amount of time (again, within a tenth of a second).So, it would run like so:Schedule gets loaded that says:
* "show banana for 15.5 seconds @ 2 min and 32 seconds after the movie started, then remove the banana."
* "show apple for 12 seconds @ 4 min and 12 seconds after the movie started, then remove the apple."
and so on... like 100 of them.So, what's the best way to handle this? It seems like I'll certainly have to use "setInterval" in there somewhere - but I'm looking for the cleanest and most accurate way to do this.To complicate things further - my scene is rather computationally intensive (even on the f8 player) and timing accuracy seems to be a weak spot for flash in this kind of situation.
I have 2 custom components, which have their own nesting hierarchy ... One is container for another. I have to "familiarize them" with each other. The way I'm trying to achieve that is using global events (one side is firing and the other one is catching):
Application.application.addEventListener("Hello", function (data:Event):void{
// .. some actions
});
[Code]...
Then should be created the connection between container and it's child.
BUT, the only thing I could acheive is passing a reference to the Container in the DynamicEvent. Is there any chance that I could access the child at the event-handler function.
When I create something like the following:
<mx:DataGrid id"myDataGrid"
itemEditBegin="myDataGrid_itemEditBeginHandler(event)" />
When does the event listener for "itemEditBegin" get added and removed? Is this essentially the same as:
<mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid"
creationComplete="myDataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event)" />
protected function myDataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
[Code]...
Basically, I'm wondering where I should add "myDataGrid.addEventListener" if I want to do it programmatically? Should it be in the creationComplete listener function of the object itself, or perhaps in the creationComplete listener function for whatever parent object it resides in?
I can't think of a way to write a function that returns an object that is loaded from an external swf. I need to be able to make a function that waits for an event listener before returning the value. I want to be able to create objects that can load in external swfs with minimal and no redundant code.
Here is the over all logic of my function:
Code:
//First create an object and set it to function that loads in an external file
var MaskFrames:Object = loadFile(parentObjectName, "swfs/", "file.swf");
//Create the function that returns the loaded swf as an object

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.
I have a SendData class that sends form info to a php script. It is a static class that does not extend anything. I want to be able to dispatch an event if there is an error, or when it gets info back from the server. I have a custom event class that I have been using to dispatch events like this, but I have only used that in displayObject extended classes.The problem is, it seems like something has to be a displayObject based class to dispatch events. I know there must be a way to do this, but I'm having trouble finding it in searches.
View 2 Replieshow do I set this onLoadInit so that with every new load it moves the _x of the container it's loading into (photoBox1 2. 3...) by the width of the parent container (picCont).Another option would be to include that picMCL right within the loop but I don't know how to pause the loop until onLoadInitis reached and new photo can be loaded.

I have a component called X. I'm trying to make a menu come down from it when I put my mouse over it.
I have a mouseOver handler which changes the component's state to another state which shows an extra child component (the menu) on the lower part. This of course makes the X component grow.
I also have mouseOut event handler which makes the menu disappear by returning component X to its original state.
When I move the mouse over the component the menu appears as expected. But when I move the mouse down to the menu that is now visible, as soon as I touch it, it disappears. This way it's impossible to reach the menu.
I guess the mouseOut event is triggered as soon as I move out of the old boundaries. Is this so? And how can I avoid it? The new boundaries should now consider the extra child with the menu.
I am using a SildeShowPro for my project. I am trying to write an event listener to the onImageData event and create a conditional that will listen to the final image based on it's number id. Basicly I neet my movie to go to frame 60 after my gallery loads in its last image (number 10). Now, since I am not really familiar with the subject here is what I put together and it does not work...:

Is there a way to make a movie clip based on a blank object?the way i usually make one is by drawing a rectangle and making it a movie clip.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to have a pre-loader based on a single movie clip, instead of on the entire SWF size? This movie clip may have a single graphic, but the entire movie has a slideshow with more images to display...but rather than making my visitor wait for the entire site to download before they see anything, I'd like to have it so when that graphic is loaded, it displays while the rest of the movie finishes loading. And there would be a preloader that shows the progression of the single movie clip.

So what time trying to do is play a specific frame in the movieclip based on the time of day:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var myDate = new Date();
var hour = myDate.getHours();

but when I change to "gotoandPlay" the movieclip just loads from the beginning frame and seems like it doesnt check the time.
Is there a way to fade a movie clip out based on the proximity of the mouse? Basically if my mouse is greater than 100 pixels away from a movie clip, I want the movie clip to fade to 0 and stay invisible.

I think I had this issue before I decided to try and learn mvc, which I'm doing right now. it's not a complex problem. But I can't figure it out. First, should I add swf address to my controller? that's what I think, considering it's between the view and the update. But mainly... I feel like it's just going to loop.. for instance. I add the .setValue method on a click handler. and it changes the url and everything.. grand. but during the change it fires off the change event of course.. now how can I make adjustments to my file based on the change event listener, if it's going to fire every time something in my movie sets the value?? as you can see i'm trying to use simplemvc's classes.. i'm just trying to learn though.

I'm creating a slideshow gallery in flash and am basically there now except for one bit...
have a look here [URL]
The slider at the bottom for the thumbnails moves ok but I want it to stop at the last slide. I
I can manage to code it based on the mc's _x value
i.e if (mc._x < -200){ //do nothing }
but this creates a dead stop and I want a gently slow down like if you were to navigate from thumb 8 back to 1.
all of my coding at the moment uses the mc's x value in relation to the mouse's distance.
The code I have currently set on the slider is:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if((_root.slidesQTY>6)&&(_root._ymouse>460)){
if(this._x<0){
[Code]....
how I could add another if statement that doesn't halt the animation as it hits the last slide but creates a smooth slow down?
On Scene1 I'm trying to add some script that will continuosly recognize what the x axis value is and if it is greater than 600 it is supposed to play frame 1 of the movie, and if it is less than 600 than it is supposed to play frame 10. The code I'm using seems to work, but only at the initial startup of the movie. How do I modify this code to have it continually updating the shoot movie based on where the mouse is at on the movie?
