ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Could Use Some Assistance
Sep 30, 2010
I had a developer who created a flash slideshow which utilized xml to load the image and attach a url to it. The project works as it should except for the urls...which seems to be set to the first one you click on.I am not a programmer, and the developer I was using, died. So, now I am stuck with a file that just needs one thing fixed to work. Any assistance in this endeavor would be most appreciated. If you want to use the files for yourself once they are fixed, feel free.
It may be a little confusing the way I explain it but here I go. I've been testing in Flash CS5 for awhile and saw it may be something like Photoshop, more specifically while drawing. In Photoshop there are layers which I use to divide parts of the picture such as the hair and the head in two different layers so that if there is a problem say at the top of the forehead where the hair is, the layer dividing the two separates it so when I erase a part of the head the hair doesn't go with it because it's not on the same layer.
Unfortunately in Flash it doesn't appear to work that way...in one layer I draw the head the other I draw the hair, I see a mistake in the head near the hair and I erase it...a part of the hair goes with it...then I have to redraw that part which can be time consuming unless I want a relatively bad animation(which I don't) since it's obviously not set as a default in Flash is there anyway to set it as that? I do tend to make quite an amount of mistakes in Flash because of how the brush and such works..
I'm working with the following code, and want to have my slideshow images fade into each other. At the moment, the picture before, after it's reached its delay setting, just switches off and the next one fades in, meaning the background displays (which isn't desirable)
I seem to be unable to reference flash files in my HTML code that reside on a server different than that of the HTML page. When both the "swf" file and webpage are on the same server, everything works accordingly to plan using either the absolute or relative link to the swf file.
I am trying to follow and create a tutorial which explains how to make a bouncing ball.I am really struggling with the Action Script 3.0 even though the teacher types it in.I am inserting the code so that you can view it.[code]
I'm a student with basic (but growing) knowledge of flash, and for one of my projects I have to create a website in Flash CS3 (an actionscript 2.0 file) which will then be imported in to Dreamweaver and uploaded.
I would like to have a screen with multiple buttons and when the button is clicked different MC's will be imprted into the .fla file. For instance button 1 will import 1_MC, button 2, 2_MC, button 3, 3_MC etc. point me to a tutorial or give me a down and dirty example using AS3?
How do I make a stop all sounds button or set a key on the keyboard to stop all sounds?*I would really like to have the key stop all of them but still like to know how to do both.
I have a simple problem that I've been working on for hours, trying to go through trial and error myself. But here's the problem. I have a function on the main timeline named startClips. Now, I want to call this from from within two movie clips, the other nested inside the other. In other words, I have a movie clip called holder, and inside of a holder, I have a movieclip called homebase. Now, here is all the code I've been trying to use to access the startClips function which is own the main timeline from the movieclip homebase:
The request has been to modify the first item by including an FLV player. This I've done and have working without flaw.My trouble arises when users select any of the other 4 tabs and then attempt to return to the first tab where they should see a transition into the playing FLV. This is not happening after the initial load. It's been quite awhile since I've worked with AS but I figure this issue should be able to be resolved if I inject a condition to determine what item is selected.
This isn't working. In fact, it seems to be skipping the initial condition if(t == "welcome"). If the nave is determined within the var navs:Array, how then can one determine the selected location?
I have my main.fla which imports external swfs that contain flv's. I have three buttons that navigate the main timeline to frames 2-4. At frames 2-4 an external swf gets loaded into an empty movie clip via this code. Each loaded swf acts like a menu with some nice vidoes loading in the background.The problem i found is the flvs continue to play as i navigate between menus, which makes the main swf/fla slow down becuase the pc is working harder to deliver all the stuff running in the background. I've added this code to frame 1 of my empty movie clip that is in my library that has the instance name 'menu1'I keep getting the error "Access of undefines property mc1"I have the source files for my site here if you can take a look and see what I'm doing wrong. I have removed this code so i don't get the error and have tried other things to no avial.

if there is a way to use the _rotation property with the Tweening class to make a movie clip continually to rotate from it's current position instead of starting back at the original position and doing the same rotation again.
I'm trying to make an movie object rotate 90 degrees by clicking on a button and then when you click the button again, the movie rotates 90 more degrees. I don't want it to start over and do that same 90 degree rotation with the Tween class.
I'm running in to a problem where I've added additional pages (20+ pages in total) and everything after page 16 is transparent.

Need assistance with "dynamic" pathing I encountered a problem in my flash file. What I want to do is, use a For-Loop to set the size for up to 10 different Movie clips at the same time?[code]...
I'm working through Dreamweaver fairly well, and I'm now wanted to import Flash buttons I've created myself into Dreamweaver for a website I'm currently building, and it's here that I'm finding the problem. I have been to the 'get URL Function', but it says something about needing to link to a web page? But my problem is how can I link Flash Buttons to a web page, when my site is still being developed and not published? Do I have to publish first?
:confused:Does anybody know is Flash mx 2004 compatible with flash CS3 and flash 8?? I can not open flash cs3 on my laptop with flash mx2004 also can actionscript 3.0 be used with flash mx2004 and flash 8 because when I save my flash cs3 document as a flash 8 document it does not work? I am awful confused with all this. If you created a flash website in flash 8 or Flash mx2004 you can not open in in flash cs3 it dosent make sence?
Are there any programs or features in flash that can simplify flash vector art?
I just realized that one of the reasons why my program might be running so slow is that I made the images out of lots and lots of circles. When things didn't look right I often just put larger circles over smaller ones. I didn't think that flash might still be drawing the invisible circles underneath-
We've got a green screened video playing in a flash movie over top of our html content.when the movie ends, flash uses external interface .api to call a javascript function which swaps the flash movie out with a 5 x 5 pixel flash movie (rewrites the <div>).this works and you can interact with the html content after the flash movie in all browsers except firefox.anyone know of any work-arounds or is there a better way of handling flash over html in this fashion?
I have absolutely no idea where to post about this, please move if necessary.So, I've just installed flash player 10 and now my flash tracer plugin (in firefox) won't work. do i have to switch back to flash player 9 or is there a solution to this?
i have the correct path in Flash Tracer's settings (C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorApplication DataMacromediaFlash PlayerLogsflashlog.txt) as well as the mm.cfg file in C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator.

We are developing our app in flash/flex builder for the front end hitting .NET backend webservices. There is one section of the old app that will not be initially converted, so we need have it appear in an iFrame.
So far all that works fine.We shrink the size of the SWF in the host page to just be the menu/nav area. And underneat that I have an iframe control that loads in this page from the old site.Now the problem. in the SWF is a drop down list to enable picking a client. Since the SWF has been shrunk to about 100px high, the drop-down will only occupy within that 100px area which it's opened. This is NOT good as you can imagine. How can I make the drop-down list descend over-top of the IFRAME control and thus extend outside the SWF dimensions? Is this possible?
I tried to make the internal stage transparent and leave the SWF a little larger, about 400 px high, but the IFRAME still appears behind the SWF.
I'm familiar with C/C++/Scheme/Java/OpenGL/TCP/IP.I need to learn how to build a tile based / platform flash engine.What tools should I be using? What books should I buy?I strongly prefer tools that let me do things programatically rather than through a graphical UI.
Is the Flash Video (or Flex VideoDisplay) component capable of seeking to an exact moment in a video?It seems to always 'snap' to keyframes (which is understandable). I'm just wondering if there are any mechanisms in the video classes for seeking to exact frames, ie it should do the translation from keyframe to specific frame in the background rather than having to actually play the video forward to the desired frame.This is not a streaming file and has nothing to do with buffering. The player is just downloading a movie file from the web and playing it from memory.
