I know you can do this to hide a movieclip:[code]how would i go about hiding say only the tophalf of the movieclip? I have tried using the Rectangle function to try and draw the section i want to be displayed, however with no result.
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip with an image fading in and out (using an actionscript tween class set to yoyo). This movieclip is loaded into a dummy movieclip when a button is pressed. The first time you click the button the fading movieclip plays as it should, fading in and out continuously. However, the second or subsequent times the button is clicked the fading movieclip goes crazy, half fading in/out and half jumping from one alpha value to another.

View 9 RepliesBuilding a flash website in CS3. I've made every button the exact same way, draw a rectangle, convert to symbol, type as either button or movie clip (doesn't seem to matter and I'm not using rollover stuff), alpha 0% and stick it on its own layer above everything else.Action scrip is as follows:
main1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
main2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
function gotoMain(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
that's with 2 buttons for main. I have the exact same code multiple times for many different buttons. It works everywhere except the last two buttons on my page will work the first time you click them from the main page, but then don't work after that until you click on the main page again. Then it works.These two:
babout3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAboutb1);
bcontact3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
the function is described on an earlier action keyframe:
bcontact1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
function gotoBcontact1(event:MouseEvent):void[code]...
Of course I've tried just having one button do this and copy/pasting the button on different areas of the movie, but nothing I've done fixes. I've even gone through and deleted every button and AS and redone it. I've put every button on its own layer (shouldn't matter but I'm trying everything I can think of).if there is an easier way of using AS to navigate a flash movie let me know. The other options I've seen seem a bit too complex at the moment.
The first half of the tween doesn't work but the second half does. It only does this when I add the code link._visible = 0;. This is to make the alpha completly disappear.

i would like to know if it is possible to have a letter that is made up of multiple colors. for example above you will see a hebrew letter. the DOT underneath it is actually part of the letter, but it is a different color.is it possible to have this same functionality in flash? what i would need to do is upload an XML file with all the words, and i would need all the dots below the letters to be a different color

View 3 RepliesI will have to explain this in steps. I have a flash website, inside it I have the content on frame 2 (frame 1 = preloader) from there I have a content_mc which holds my pages. I have a home page (frame labeled home) which inside displays the home_mc. In here I have inserted a flvPlayback component. Here's where the problem is. I have moved a stop and volume component on it as wel which has automatically linked up (which is nice). But I would like when I click the stop button, the video disappears. The videoPlayback is called "introVid", the instance name is "vid", and is residing within the "home" mc.
I know the code is something like:
this.visible = false;
or
movieclip(root).home.vid/introVid.visible = false;
or I have also seen people using visibility = false...
However I cannot find out how to link this with the flvPlayback Stop button component. Inside the button all I can find is: The 4 button states,
some code on stop button itself:
stop();
this.upLinkageID="StopButtonNormal";
this.overLinkageID="StopButtonOver";
this.downLinkageID="StopButtonDown";
this.disabledLinkageID="StopButtonDisabled";
I require to put my actionscript on the press or release, but I cannot find out to do this, I assume the code at the moment is calling a "flash component class" which holds the actions for "stopButtonDown" or something, I did have a go at manually creating a mc and a button, and making that stop the flvPlayback, and hiding the movieClip, but with no luck.
I have different layers and different movieclip in the stage and when the movieClip is clicked it load the external movieclip.[code]...

There is something I have been trying to figure out how to do, I keep running into needing a simpler bit of code to hide all the movieclips except the one that was just made visible. My only idea so far is to manually input all the movieclip names and tell them whether or not to be visible. It works, but it creates a lot of code and is time consumming to change. I hope there is a way to use just one or two lines of code and hide all but the currently selected movieclips.

View 2 RepliesSo I've been working on a Character class for platformer/ generic side-view style games. The problem is that i might need bits of characters to appear to go through other characters (i.e. char 1 grabs char 2 and runs char 2 through with weapon) the problem with this is that the characters' parts are contained in movieclips to run code on them holding them together and keeping me from having to position them just perfectly every frame in the IDE. it seems I have four choices:
1) Completely reprogram the display list -not practical
2) just hide the area of the movieclip that is intersecting with the other character
3) break apart the characters and merge them into an "interaction manager" movieclip
4) just give up.
I don't have the skills for option 1. Option 3 is ok i guess, but i'd rather try option 2 first. My biggest problem is that i have no idea how i would go about selecting just the intersecting part of the movieclip without reprogramming some part of the display list. If anyone can understand this, please give me something to point me in a direction.
I've been looking on google, but I have found nothing at all on this, which is surprising as it is very simple to make (I have done it in AS2).I was to have a button that can hide a movieclip. Then another button which will show it again.
View 8 RepliesI am new to flash parameters but from the research I could find so far it seems that this should be fairly simple. I have a flash file that has a movie clip in it. In this movie clip there are two movie clips. What I need to do is show a one movie clip and hide another. I basically only need to set up the reading of the flash parameter code in flash...
var imageToShow:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
This is basically what I have... I'm not sure what to go on to next or if this is even correct.
Code:
if (parameter == "image1") {
image.image1.alpha = 1;
image.image2.alpha = 0;
}

View 1 RepliesI'm loading a dozen or so external .swf movies in the 1st frame of my movie in the timeline which are to be initially hidden and shown to display page content when necessary along the rest of the timeline. My problem is that when I load them in, they all automatically display on the 1st frame. Here's is the code I'm using:
Code:
var keyC:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("keyC", getNextHighestDepth());
keyC = loadMovie("data/Key C.swf", keyC);
keyC._visible = false;
[Code].....
It's as if the _visible commands aren't working in the 1st frame but are in the rest of the timeline. Perhaps I need to use an onLoad method to wait until each MC can be manipulated this way?

In my scene, I have five buttons and each one will start a movie clip within the scene.o, I have only one frame for the entire scene( but four layers: button,background(with music), action and my last one is animation.Each time a click a button( with onPress or onRelease actionscript 2.0.), a movie clip starts(that's ok..)But, when I click an another button, I want the previous movieclip to stop and disappear. In my case, the new movieclip starts but over the last one who is still there.Furthermore, when I want to click on a button that had already been pressed, I want him to start over his movieclip. For now, I need to press it once again to cancel his movieclip and then press it again to start his clip.In resumé, all I want is that each time I press a button, the last movie clip disappear because the new one starts and an already been pushed button, when pushed again, starts his movie clip without the need of pushing it to cancel his first operation and then pushed it again.
