ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Project / Shifting Objects Simultaneously
Nov 2, 2011
I was given at work. I will list the details of the project below:Create a Flash presentation that a user (on a browser) could press a button and navigate through scrolling objects. Upon hovering over the object information will pop up in a info bubble. Also upon hovering over an object, the table and gauge to the side will also change in proportion to the object hovered over.Here is what I have done so far and what I can't figure out:
-Anchored background - done
-Objects slide across the screen (no interaction) -done --->I just made them motion tweens though which I've found are rather hard to work with becuase I can't manipulate them well with actionscript.
-User able to control the sliding objects (through arrows/keyboard events) - not done
-Table/guage changes on the hovering over of the object - not done
-Information pops up on the hovering over of an object - not done
Right now I am having trouble with making the user be able to make all the objects slide across the screen at the same time with ONE button click. I can make it so that when you click the object it slides over however man pixels, but what i want is that the uder clicks an arrow and all of the objects slide over x amount of pixels.

I'm trying to attach a single NetStream Object to two separate Video objects instead of pulling redundant streams from the server. The expected behavior would be for both Video's to display the same content. However, it seems that the last video I attach the NetStream to is the only Video that will display the content.Has anyone else run into this? I'd rather not go to the inelegant steps of using BitmapData to clone pixels if I don't have to.

Code:
var arrowleft_btn:Button;
var arrowright_btn:Button;
arrowleft_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startScroll, false, 0, true);

What I am trying to do to solve my first problem is have the image (which holds several smaller images in it) scroll across the screen when the user clicks on either the right or left arrow found at the top of the screen. If anyone is interested I can send them the file to have a look at? All of the instance names are the samer though, the arrows are buttons and the 'housecompilation3_mc' is a movie clip.

I am new to the forum, I have used Flash MX 2004 for quite a while and had never had this problem, recently I gave my site a "facelift" in CS4 and I got it exactly how I wanted it, I exported the swf file and saved the flash file. That was a few days ago, Today I wanted to add a new piece to my portfolio so I opened the same exact file today and everything had shifted! SOOOO FRUSTRATING as I felt I had finally achieved what I wanted to. This is the one I was really happy with:

We have noticed Fonts shift down in our layouts. Our files are very messed up. One particular font that is doing this is TheMix. Anyone else have this happening? The same file opens and displays just fine under Leopard.

I have a CodeIgniter project and I made a back-office in Flex. I was wondering how I can implement the Flex project in my CodeIgniter since I'm working with routing I can't route to any directory. So there isn't a way to display the back-office.

I have been working on a flex uploader, where the user can select multiple files.It works fine when the files are uploaded in a queue (one at a time), however as soon as I try to have it upload 2 files at once I run into issues.
It seems that files will often lock up, and either stay at 1% until every other file is uploaded, or just not complete at all. There is never more than one file uploading at a time.Is there some issue with calling .upload on multiple files at once in Flex?

I have created an AIR application that makes use of Flash' build in capability of taking multi touch gestures (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ZOOM & TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ROTATE)
It works fine on my Mac using the computers trackpad. It also works fine on a Windows 7 machine with a touchscreen attached.
But I can only modify one object at a time. Is that a limitation in Flash or is it possible to modify more objects at the same time and that way possible to make a multi-user multi-touch application?

My goal is to have a map that I can drag around within the frame of a webpage. Finding the right code to move the map in a restricted frame wasn't too easy but I managed to find that (which works like a charm):
zoom3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragArea);
zoom3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropArea);
[Code].....
Now the catch is that I'd like the map to be dragged simultaneously with a movieclip situated above, that contains names of regions, cities etc.. Both can't be on the same layer as I need to put a layer of texture in between.
Is there a simple way to link both layers and make them move at once?

I cant "center" my project, like you can see its "fixed" (yellow lines) in the left side and I cant see "invisible" part of project... (area around the project). how can I move my project so I can see the not-project area around the project. (picture 2).
At the moment situation... (cant see that area around the project)

I am currently building a commercial website, and am stuck on the functionality of a 'Featured Businesses' animated graphic. The functionality is there, it works, but the problem is, I can't figure out a proper way to make it so that when one button is pressed (that is behind the others on the timeframe), how can I make it so that all the frames/layers (which contain the other buttons) go behind whatever button is activated?
As I said, it works, the problem is that all but the last button (which is the top layer) are obscured from view by the other buttons/MC's that are on top of it as far as the timeline is concerned.!
I tried messing around with the objectdestroy function, but this is my first foray back into ActionScripting since I scripted my last 2D platformer way back in 2005 when I was using Flash MX and before Adobe took control. So I'm rusty.
The link below should contain the .swf of the functional graphic. As you can see it works, but the top buttons are behind the others, so you can't see their animation fully.=

im currently workin on a game in my spare time and have come across a few problems. I've gone back to basics to figure out a redesign of my code using functions.
Here's my initial problem:
I have a button, which when pressed will shift a sprite 100px to the right. I wanted it so that everytime i pressed the button, the sprite moved a further 100px from it's stopped location. So basically if it's moving and you push the button again, it'll do nothing. It has to be stationary in order to move. At the moment my code shifts the sprite when the button is pressed, but it just keeps moving forever and doesn't stop

I have an odd situation where the static text each within a mc for a menu are shifting slightly up and down despite having the exact same rounded x/y values throughout on the timeline in the properties box. There are a few frames on the timeline where they are contained within another movieclip to fade them in, and when I zoom in and make sure they line up exactly, they are fine, but when I play the movie back at various magnifications within the authoring environment and as an exported swf, they randomly shift slightly. Sometimes they randomly shift, and other times at the same magnification they don't at all when replayed back again. It's making me pull my hair out and grind my teeth because I don't know if I am dealing with a known bug or (more likely) my ignorance. I know there is a better way of doing this all with action script, but honestly I am not there yet by a long shot, unless someone could direct me to a proper tutorial.

I just ran some tests on round numbers.In preparation for getting max performance from AS3, I want to test as many areas as possible.All I did was generate a rounded random number a million times per frame, and record the time step in milliseconds.[code]Now the strangest part is having a non rounded random number generated a million times per frame netted an average time of 195 milliseconds, faster than using int as a random number. It must simply be that because Math.random isn't returning an integer, some form of conversion of taking place for your variable to be an integer.
Incidentally, using a Number instead of integer for the looping variable decreased performance minimally, just a few milliseconds.So simply having your variable as an integer, and using no rounding at all produces the fastest results if you want a round number.Remember though, there are many other areas in Flash to dramatically increase performance. Being that we're talking about a million iterations per frame, the difference in performance is not exactly dramatic here. One is not even twice as fast as another, over a million iterations.

I have two movieclips on the same frame but on different layers located within the movieclip. The first movieclip plays just fine. However, the second one isn't going ahead even a single frame. The code that I have mentioned below is located withing the second movieclip containing background image. And I think this code is causing the issue because when I remove this it plays perfectly fine. The function of this code is to automatically re-size background image with the browser dimensions. The whole code just worked fine on the main timeline.However, when I shifted it inside a movieclip its causing an issue.
//set stage for FBF
stage.align = "TL";
stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

I am attempting to combine two AS files that are acting as cellRenderers individually but not simultaneously for cells in a datagrid in a Flash document I have created. The first styles the cells to have alternating row colors and the second allows for non-text content to be rendered. The issue is whenever I attempt to combine them the document reports errors with "super" and "override" among others.

I've been trying to piece together a way to have an image with a flag wave fade in as soon as the movie loads. Once the image is faded in almost all the way, I want the waving to slow to a stop so at the end, it's a static image. I've gotten most of this accomplished, however, once the flag wave slows and stops, the entire image shifts up and to the right. I'm sure it has something to do with some displacement variable, but since I'm no coder I can't seem to figure out how to stop this.[code]...

I am dynamically creating a bunch of buttons which each toggle their variable on and off, causing corresponding graphics to hide.I also want to have a toggle All on and off button that affects all the variables.I can't seem to get my head around the best approach to turning all the individual variables on/off when I don't really know what those variables will be yet, cause it will depend on how each version of this gets set up.

I'm creating a custom video player where the user can select to play the same video at different speeds (100%, 75%, and 50%).We have rendered 3 different MP4 files,one for each speed, and then there is a mechanism in the video player to load each video as the user demands it.It works fine so far, except that when a new video loads,it begins to play from the beginning, not at the point where the previous video left off (which is crucial).
I thought it would be as simple as using either ns.play("videoname", videotime) or using a ns.seek(videotime), but in ether case,the new video still will only play from the beginning.Here is the code, which includes some calculation for adjust the time depending on the shift from 100%, 75%, and 50%.
function switchSpeedVideo() {
var currentTime:Number = ns.time;
output.text = currentTime.toString(); // outputs correctly[code].....

What would be a good way to create a grid of images in which one can be dragged to a new position and the other images will shift to make room for the image dragged? Looking at making a little program that will reorder an XML file by visually dragging the items to where I want them.
