View 1 RepliesI have an Array with several Items (between 10-15)Now i wanted to give out these Items in Textfields dynamically.
View 2 RepliesI have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
I'm customizing an xml flash website and while I can handle all the html and xml well enough, but in Flash, I have no clue how to:
Now go on the stage, and delete the contents of the last layer(background & pattern). Here, add from the library, the square movieclip, and name it mcBackColor(see attached image).And then to add your swf background in the "background & pattern" layer from the main.fla file.
I can change the name, but don't know how to delete just the contents of the layer and then add the new clip.I've made a slideshow before and that's all I can do.
having problems with not finding how to swap scenes. i want my scene 2 to play as scene 1 and vice versa.
View 2 RepliesI basically have this and what I need to do, is when the user clicks on one of those boxes on the right, it'll appear in the yellow box on the left.
Each of those right boxes will be unique with different graphics. It'll basically be different graphics to be displayed on a T-shirt, which will be represented by the big black square.
Now I know that each of those graphics should be a button symbol with mouse click event, but I'm not really sure how to handle the event.
Should I just create a clone of that item and move it to the target area? Or is it possible to create some kind of blank placeholder where I could just display it?
what is the best way to take a movieclip from one flash file and transfer it to another?
View 1 RepliesI am pretty new to flash, so I apologize if I have posted in the wrong area or this is a redundant post, but I have plenty of experience with Photoshop, 3d rendering programs, and some experience with Dreamweaver.
I would like to create an "about us" portion of a website similar to: [URL]. It looks as though it is a series of disjointed swap images, but there must be some Flash involved, and if you click on the image of each person it also acts as a hyperlink. So, my question, could anyone point me in the correct direction of how I would create this for my website and to what degree of difficulty is involved.
I am trying to swap out one image for another in a Flash animation. On a mouse over, the want the new image (appb_mc) to appear OVER the existing image (appa_mc).I used the following code, but the new image keeps flashing. I am assuming it is because the new image is appearing OVER the existing image. If I have the new image appear other than over the existing image, it works fine. What can I do to make it work properly? These images need to be within the Flash file and not in an array.Actionscript I am using:
appb_mc.visible = false;
function showGraphic1(event:MouseEvent):void

I have a project in which I have an opening scene of a main image and 8 thumbnail buttons. This opening scene is pretty basic, as the thumbnails would link to a new scene or frame label (however I build it). This 2nd scene or instance in the timeline is where I would display another large image, and 6 new thumnail images that, upon rollover, would swap the large main image with the large version of the active thumbnail.
Basically I have a main 'menu' of category thumbnails that link to an instance in the timeline that displays the initial large image for that category, and allows the user to mouseover the other thumbnails to see the large images, and then click to go to a specific URL for more information. The trouble I have with my rusty, limited AS knowledge is how to effeciently write the AS so that the image swap works. I quickly ran into a wall trying to acomplish this using a very OLD method that would require a LOT of jumping around the timeline.
I have made a script that works in Flash player 6 but when i switch to Flash player 10 it suddenly doesn't work, the script is:[code]Anyone knows why it doesn't work in any Flash player over Flash player 6?

I'm looking for a plugin or command so I can swap all the colors in a selected symbol. the find and search thing doesnt quite do it well. It needs to affect anything in a group within that symbol. I was also wondering if there was a way to convert fills back to lines or if there is a plugin for that too. Ineed it for flash pro 8, I know its old.

View 5 RepliesI have an Actionscript project that I was building using Flash CS4. I embedded a font using the follow: [Embed(source="/bin/assets/fonts/MyriadPro-Regular.otf", fontWeight="normal", fontFamily="Myriad Pro")]
Then throughout my application in my TextFields I would set embedFonts to true antialiastype to advanced and set the thickness property of the text field. And setting the font-family from a stylesheet. This was all working exactly as I expected it would with no issues whatsoever and months of development.
I just upgraded to CS5 and published and none of my text is rendered at all. I was able to resolve this by removing the embedFonts = true from the textfields, but this leaves me with no control over the thickness at all.
I searched everywhere, does anyone know what the proper way to do this in CS5 is now? I've tried embedding my font directly within the CS5 IDE but still no thickness control.
I'm currently trying to mimic a screen from a flash game for my own inscrutable purposes, and a typical screenshot of the screen in question looks something like this . I've successfully found and extracted the background image from the file, and now I'm trying to find out the positioning of the various text fields. The actionscript for the SWF has the various textfields being declared as such:
public var speedText:TextField;
public var exp:TextField;
public var evadeText:TextField;
public var lvl:TextField;
public var critText:TextField;
The problem I have is that I can't find any instance anywhere in the code that actually assigns x, y, width, or height attributes to any of the text fields, nor are they anywhere on the stage using Flash CS4, so I can't determine their positioning at all. I've searched all actionscript files associated with the swf for any instance of the textfield names, without any hits except for assigning text to them. If they aren't receiving their positioning attributes via actionscript, how are they receiving these values, and how can I obtain them?
I have a movieclip on stage: I load inside it a form (via addChild). The form is made of textfields and movieclips and it is contained in a library object of MyForm class, extending MovieClip. So I have:
var myForm:MyForm = new MyForm();
myClip.addChild(myForm);
What happens: the MyForm class lets me interact with textfields (if I change a value of a textfield I can see it very clearly). But I can't manually reach the input textfields and the buttons (they don't respont to pressure, and I can't modify their content in the case of textfields). There seems to be something related to the fact that MyForm is contained inside myClip because if I load the form without the myClip container anything works again. I tried to use mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on myClip but it doesn't work.
I have a weird bug with some textfields when i change the flash quality. It seems that the size of the textfield and the font size are changed each time i change the quality. I've attached the pics

I'm building a Facebook client in actionscript, and I'm running into a problem. I have this block of code:
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
var feedResponse:String = (event.target.data);
var object:Object = JSON.decode(feedResponse); //getting the data
[code].....
With actionscript2, is there anyway to expand make a text field expand upwards if more text was added then the current size could hold, rather than downwards? Data is loaded from XML.
View 2 RepliesI'm having an issue with a particular font where, when using dynamic textFields the kerning is all out of whack. When using static textFields, it's fine, and when I check "Use Device Fonts" it's also fine, but when using dynamic textFields with embedded fonts, everything is jacked. The font is Blender Pro Bold. Regular and Heavy work fine, but for some reason Bold is messed up. Is it just that there is a problem with the font?

View 1 RepliesI want to get some images from a flash webpage and I got the .swf files. Is there a way to open the .swf and grab the contents of that file. I am not asking how to play the file or view the file. I actually want to open up the file and view its contents, if possible. I don't know anything about flash and tried searching already. It probably isn't possible since i didn't find any answers via search, but I wanted to try here first.
View 3 RepliesI have a textinput component on my stage with an instance name of "myTxt" I would like to add some left padding to the contents of this textfield. I've tried:

I want to get a flash game that loads the contents of the game. When i download the swf, it's just the loader so it's useless. I need the full contents.
