ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash CS5 Randomly Deleting Library Content?
Sep 13, 2010
I'm working on a rather large project at work using CS5 Flash. The project involves loading several .swf files at different times from a main 'hub' type structure. Think of it as a multi-channel platform and when you click on the channel you want, it loads the sub-swf with the videos and movie clip contents/as code in it.
As one can imagine, this has cause the overall project to grow quite huge. When we open up the main fla file that contains the library content of it's children fla's, some files will randomly go missing. These files are being shared over a network with various people via a file repository system so no two people can be working on the same file at the same time. This doesn't appear to be the problem, nor is accidental deletion as an individual can check out the files, work on them locally, save them locally, close and reopen them locally and random content will be missing again.
We believe that the issue may have to do with the overall size of the fla's (the fla's range in size from 16mb to 3mb). They will be playing as stand alone objects, not on a website so other outside content isn't an issue. Some of the computers being used are 64 bit system while others are 32 but all systems have had the issue. We are also using AIR to help with some of the functionality but this issue started before we started using AIR.

i have an image and it is a large sheet with series of poses for a character (like a sprite sheet), and wanted to take them out to be animated and make them into individual movie clips.I did successfully, but I went to delete the original image, however, the movie clips became red fills.Is there a way I can get rid of the original without affecting the movie clip?-If not-I wanted to do this because I thought it may save memory but i am not really sure if it will affect the memory since the sheet itself is not going on the stage, is there a chance that this full sprite sheet in the library won't effect the file size of .swf?And if it does, if I turn it into a graphic, or movie clip, will that compress it?I use Flash CS3!

I'm really new at flash and I'm having some trouble with a textbook assignment. Before I explain my problem here is the code:
Code:
stop();
var defValue:Number = 1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, vetIkke);
function vetIkke(e:Event
[Code] .....
I was doing some assignments in my as3 textbook when I ran into a bit of trouble. I'm trying to make a flash that picks 3 random questions out of a total of 10 and displays them on screen. I made each of the questions movieclips and assigned them all a class (question1 - 10) through Linkage. So the variable "randomQ" is the name of the class of a random question, but how do I get flash to understand that? And how do I spawn that question as a movieclip on stage?
Code:
var Question:MovieClip = new randomQ();
I've tried various alterations but can't seem to find the right one. It's possible I've yet to learn the necessary knowledge in order to make this flash.

Basically, I have movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4 in the library, with linkages.
These are just 5 frame clips, with a single dummy_mc moving statically over the 4 frames.
I need these to be picked randomly and placed (each has its own set of co-ordinates where it should appear) on the stage at a random set interval (ie, every 2-3 seconds).
There are also 7 items (item1, item2, etc) in the library.
So once one of the 4 movies has been placed on the stage, I need one of these 7 items to randomly attach itself to the dummy_mc within that movie (and, I guess, generate instance names etc)

I am using Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. I have a simple navigation menu that I am trying to edit. I may be in the wrong place in the file, but when I open the .SWF files I can see the lines of code and I can see the actual navigation menu as it appears on our web site. I have not been able to figure out how to change / edit / delete the line inthe drop down menu that I want to delete on our web site.

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader. I have no Idea how to do that. The way I have it set up now, the home.swf will load over the entire screen and that is not what I want. I just want the content to load into the loader and have its content change once I click on the other buttons. Here is a copy and past of that I have at the moment, I'm using Flash 8 to do it all.

I can of course use removeMovieClip but I heard there was a more simple solution - attaching all of the MC's to another MC, and then deleting this MC would also delete all attached MC's. I saw some examples (starting with createEmptyMovieClip but I guess I'm having some problems with syntax.
ActionScript Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("movie1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie2", this.getNextHighestDepth();
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie3", this.getNextHighestDepth();
...
This code does not work...What I'd like is to remove movie1 so that it would delete all the others. Can it work?

Is there a way to delete a specific value in an array? For example, the array:"Banana Peel,Hippopotamus Leg,Computer Wire,Keyboard"Would there be any way to delete just "Computer Wire" from the array? I found the Array.splice thingy, but it seems that you need to know the index of the thing. Therefore i guess my question is: Is there any way to find the index of a particular value.In the thing I am making, the value could be at any index in the array (it is put in place by the user), so I could not just say Array.splice(2,1,)

Code:
dot.duplicateMovieClip("dot"+currdot, this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:-100, _y:-20});

inside the dot MC there is a video , it blinks and roatates and stuff when its just floaring around , and when it hits something
Code:
if(this.hitTest(_root.ufo)){
_root.shieldCurr=_root.shieldCurr-_root.dotDamadge;
trace("hit"+this);
this.gotoAndPlay(73);
}
gotoAndPlay(73);
refers to the 1st frame of the explode animation inside the MC frame 1 to 72 is a looping animation now after it plays the exploding animation , i want it to be deleted ive tried a few different things like...
Code:
_parent.removeMovieClip(this);
which dont seem to be working. So id like to remove the movie clip from inside itself.

I'm developing a Flash application which is communicating with Javascript to allow more features such as custom html input etc., by placing an absolute positioned div on top of the flash application and controlling it's position etc. with Flash & Javascript.
Because these html elements have to appear above the flash content, I figured the following basic css would be enough to do the trick:
#flashContent {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
[Code].....
So, the htmlContent has a higher z-index than the flash content and thus it should be shown above it. Unfortunately, this only seems to work when you set the Flash object's "wmode" parameter to "transparent".
The problem with this setting is that it's seriousely decreasing the application's framerate to an unacceptable amount.
For static content this does not seem to be a problem, however for my application there's all kinds of elements that you can drag around which have to be moved real-time (while moving the mouse).
So, how do I enable html content on top of flash content without using the "transparent" wmode parameter or how do I optimize framerate when using the "transparent" wmode parameter?
