ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Linking An Interactive Flash Tutorial To A Database?
Mar 24, 2011
I'm creating an interactive flash tutorial for kids teaching them about healthy eating. Part of the tutorial involves them learning about different food groups, then playing different 'games' to test their knowledge.
I would like to incorporate a user login system, so the user logs in on the main menu, and then the system records which activities have been completed, and a score for each activity. This will update whenever they finish a game or achieve a score better than their previous attempts.
I found a gotoAndLearn.com tutorial but that was just retrieving stuff from a database and plugging it into an SWF. any suggestions / tutorials available on how I can achieve this 2 way interaction?

I'm using Adobe CS4 Professional flash to create the basis of the website, a photo background with an interactive menu overlay on top. Does anyone know any good tutorials for an interactive menu (roll you mouse over certain things and the sub-menu comes up which lead to other pages of the site etc.)

currently using the source files on the tutorials page, combining the stuff in this tutorial with the stuff in the Sliding Menu tutorial (http:url...) with each Interactive Pan image being one of the content pages. Trying to go for a touch screen ipad type feel to the site.
The 'image' for the panning is basically text based and I've managed to switch around the code to make it scroll on the y axis instead of the x axis. The problem I've got is that the content is using the "Stage.height" as its border, and I want to contain it within the height of the MC clip (690x580).

I sent an email to pom regarding a tutorial that he wrote, but the email was bounced and he hasn't replied to my PM. I have followed both of pom's tutorials that involve experiments with perspective in Flash, but I have encountered a problem while attempting to duplicate a movie clip symbol in the second tutorial ([URL]). I have a single instance of the "ball" movie clip symbol appearing at random positions. However, I cannot seem to successfully duplicate the symbol instance at random positions using the loop that pom provided:

I'm trying to make an interactive video player where you have a choice of 3 buttons and each button links to a different frame that has a video player embedded in it. Once on of the frames are brought up, I have a button to take you back to the main screen. However, after clicking back to the main screen, I'm running into the following output error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at memorialsample_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()[memorialsample_fla.MainTime line::frame1:4]
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndPlay()
at memorialsample_fla::MainTimeline/gotoMain2()[memorialsample_fla.MainT imeline::frame2:11]
Once the above output error occurs, the buttons are no longer active and no longer work. Here's a look at my code that I have going on:
Frame 1:
stop()//Link to Frame 2btn_MJ_Main.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMJ) function gotoMJ (e:MouseEvent){
//btn_Beach_Main.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBeach)
//btn_MJ_Main.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMJ)
btn_Cloud_Main.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoCloud)gotoAndPlay(2)
[Code] .....
If you want to see the actual SWF for a better visual at what I'm doing, you can see it here: [URL]. Scroll down to the Flash object, it says "Memorial Tribute Samples". I have the videos streaming, and am not sure how I could get the FLV videos to stop playing when I click the flash's "Return to Samples" button. Right now, the users would have to pause the video if they don't want it to play in the background as they go back to the first frame.

Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn? I know j2se for the desktop and oracle SQL/MySQL i finally got the feeling that i need to learn PHP anyway along with css and javascript. So it is fine. Also another query. Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?

I am building a flash based website and have a large rectangle mc that I am panning left to right that has buttons nested inside. I followed the kirupa tutorial called "interactive image panning" and everything seems to be working fine. My problem is this. I want this panned mc to be centered and framed by a black border that will also act as a mask hiding the ends of the rectangle that have not yet been panned to. When I add this black border the code thinks the stage dimensions are larger and the panning gets whacky. How can I contain this panned mc so it doesn't react to a change in the stage dimensions. it also does this when I open the published HTML in the browser. I basically want it to behave like the sample image on the first page of the "interactive image panning tutorial". There must be an easy solution.

I'm building an interactive flash application that will be used on a projector and projected onto a floor. The flash application will be showing a pool of water that when the cursor moves it will disturb the water, this much I have working fine so far.What I want to do however is add two things:
1) Display messages within the pool either by using a text file as a flat-file database or by typing them into a web page form and then submitting them in real-time to the flash app. Looking for ways of doing both (examples would be awesome)
2) Instead of using the cursor I'm looking to track a persons movements using a camera, is there any good software/plugins I could use to help with this?

I created a flash page which I'm having problems linking the buttons.I have 3 pages in scene 1("home page frame2", "music page frame3", "contact page frame4"), which all are set to movie symbols. I set buttons inside the home page and want one of the buttons inside the page to link to my music page (frame3) in scene 1
actionscript code "on (release){
gotoAndPlay("music")
}
and all it does is reload the home page as if it can't find it's way out of the home page back to scene1. I realize I created buttons inside the home page and not in the main scene1.

I am a programmer with a relatively good background programming in ActionScript using Flash Builder. However, I have been handed a FLA file meant to be opened in Flash CS 4, and I have to add some code to it, but this is the first time I've ever used this software in my life.After I opened the file, I was greeted by a quite unhelpful interface (maybe it's friendly for artists?), and I immediately had questions such as:
-How can I edit the source code?
-How do I run the program?
-How is the source code organized?
-Where is the entry point of the program?
-How can I do source control of these files?
I've been looking at flash tutorials online, but every tutorial starts with drawing shapes, tweening, the timeline, etc. Honestly, I don't care about any of those things (they've already been done by people at the design team).I already know how to code in ActionScript, so what I need is a tutorial to give me a kickstart in coding -already designed- flash files using Flash (not Flash Builder).I have been fighting against flash cs4 all day and I am very very disappointed with it. I thought I was good with technology, but it has been a really long time since I last found a tool so difficult to use and understand.

i am pretty new to Flash, and I have started going through alot of this tutorials on this site, and it is really great btw. Anyhow, I was reading through the zoom in/out tutorial in the ActionScript > 3D in Flash tutorial, and I am having a little trouble figuring out where I should put the code, and actually see it work.
I did the following. I only made one figure so far, because I was just doing a test:
1) I draw a simple shape on the stage, converted it into a movie clip, and named it figureA
2) I then double clicked on it, and in the first frame, right clicked > Actions, and wrote the following code:
[Code]...
My question is what am I suppose to do next? Insert a keyframe and make a motion tween? I am kinda lost in the difference between actionscript motion or using motion tween.

i am leaning Flash for about 3 weeks now, and i am quite good in that. I am AMAZED by all cool effects and trying to learn atleast 1 new every day. This tutorial, Coloring Book in Flash , is giving me headache for the last 2 hours. On the beggining of tut, it say to download and open souce FLA file- I saw that there is only drawing in start FLA file, so I make my own. Is that mistake, right at the beginning? If so, where I can find tut in the whole, so I can use my own images?

Just got through with the "Displaying XML in Flash" tutorial and it was very easy. I took the XML document on the tutorial and created more childNodes within the parent node. The problem is that I cannot get the actionscript to display text in the text window beyond the first child node.I noticed in the [URL] that it tells how to get other data from the first child node but not the second.

original: I really just need to figure out how to center the pictures. here is what I did I have modified the tutorial that I finished to have a bigger stage for bigger pictures. Everything is working properly but the pictures are displayed on the left side, I want to have them centered in the stage for the images, after clicking on the thumbnails, plus my images are different sizes as well. ranging from 200x410 to 744x410 but all are the same height of 410. i will post up what I am talking about at the end. I believe it is something within either the action script or the xml coding that allows the position of the image to be differently? please help here is what i am talking about[URL] Continued: Here is my coding in action script:
