The issue i'm having is that i want to have dispersed code-generated stars, and then they form a form (reindeer, santa, etc).
The idea is how i make the stars disperse and then return to their previous positions, knowing that the initial positions were randomly generated as well.
I have a small problem with my fullscreen mode.It enters fullscreen mode nicely when the user click on a button and exit as well when you press the"esc" key (which is the standard). is there a way to track when i exit the full screen because i want to make some MovieClip to re appear at their initial position.
View 1 RepliesI'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

I am using a ScrollPane in my application(viz., instance name is: myScrollPane). When I view the contents of the ScrollPane, it shows them perfectly. My issue is: When I try to view data present inside the ScrollPane, if I move the Vertical-ScrollBar of the ScrollPane to middle(or somewhere from top to down) and then click on Submit button(viz., instance name is: submit_btn), then its Vertical ScrollPosition must be reset from middle(or any position where we leave it before) to top(or initial position). Hence, I need to move the Vertical ScrollPosition of ScrollPane to top (or) initial position. Everytime, I need to refresh the VerticalScrollBar Position when I click on the submit button. How to do it?
View 1 Replieswell i want to make buttons that on rollover move to left, on rollout move back to their initial position, and if clicked, they but stay this time at the final rollover place, and be there until something else is clicked. When something else is clicked, the previous button , returns to its initial place. So i ve got it all figured out except for the freeze and move part when the buttons are clicked. All it does now , is when they are clicked they freeze at the position i want, but i havent got a clue how to update them, after so they start moving back, and reacting on rollover and rollout, when the next button is clicked.

I have been posting some threads about parts of this problem and finally i am able to make the stars successfully form what i have set-up in their movieClip, but only once.The problem now is that i am trying to make the stars follow this list of actions:Spread the stars initially and then make them form the existing form in the movieClip(works);Change the frame in the movieclip to anoBelow i will have the code explained and show where i think i have my issue:Create the Position x and y arrays and Spread the stars
Code:
var xInitial:Array = new Array();

I have a Flash animation that loads a quick animation and then on a button click loads and external swf while at the same time moves the playhead on the timeline to frame 2 so that it has a blank stage to play on. The external swf then loads and plays. At the end of the external swf's animation I would like it to unload and then return to frame one of the containing movie. I am assuming that on the last frame of the external swf I should be putting some actionscript that will unload the movie and then talk to the initial containing flash telling it to return to frame 1.
The main swf button that loads the external swf is using a code snippet from the AS3 CS5 library and looks like this...
[Code]....
It is also using gotoAndStop(2); for the same button.
So to unload the external swf and return would I use something like... this.unload(gotoAndStop(1));
Okay maybe its because I've been working on this all day and can't think straight any longer but this seems like it should be really obvious and I'm getting frustrated that I can't think of how to do it.I have a movie clip sitting just off stage. When the file is first launched I want to record the x position of this movie clip in a variables, say startX. When a button is pressed (and there are several of these) I am using Voetsoejba's easing code (brilliant) twice, once to move an MC just in the x direction (easeX):(on the main timeline, whre movetxt and content are the two MCs)
Code:
//record initial positions
menux = movetxt._x;

I have created a simple audio player to play continuously even if the page is refresh it will play continuously.This is my code to store audio position in flash Temp memory
MySharedObject.data.audioPos = mySndChannel.position;
MySharedObject.flush();
MyProblem,When the player starts the sndPosition is null, so it was not playing. If I set some value, when I am refreshing it will not continue from the last position. How can I set the initial position to play from the start?
I have a slider in my movie (depositAmount) and in the component inspecter it has Initial value for the slider. In my first frame I have an input field for depositAmount and i want the position of the slider button to reflect that. So if the min and max deposit amount are 0 and $10,000 respectively and the user inputs deposit Amount as $2000, I'd like to position the slider button 1/5th of the way across the slider. Is that possible? At the moment the slider button will just reflect the initial value position.

I am trying to move a 'Shape' object across the screen. As the object moves, a copy is being left at the initial position. Almost as if only an instance of original object ahs been moved
This is not an issue for moving an image or MXML graphic. Is something wrong in setting to the move object?

I have two movieclips in the centre of my stage. One is on top of the other and fade's between them using left/right buttons.I want to change this so that they slide in like a jQuery slider does. I don't want to change the initial position of the movieclips (on top of each other) just change the fade effect to a slide in.

I have assets in external swfs which I load. I would like to know the exact size of the stage and the position of the asset in the fla that created it. If I try to ask the resulting MovieClip for it's size, it turns out it gives me the size when it is trimmed down to the tightest box around the non-transparent pixels. Looking at the contentLoaderInfo, I can get the original width/height that was used by the fla file, which is great. However, I still need to know where to place the asset within the stage.. basically I need an x/y offset for it.
The reason I need this is for a customizable avatar - it has many parts, which are placed in different areas on a stage to create the full avatar. I would like to be able to combine the individual swfs for each part to achieve this.
i have this: object1.addChild(object2); object1.alpha = 0,5; How can object2 preserve it's initial alpha?

Have looked through the AS3 documentation, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
I'd like to have my movie clips on the stage and run a loop to return their x and y positions, these positions will be stored in an array (startPos:Array) for use later in some other script. I have 7 movieclips on the stage, each with an instance name startobj[a number]
AS2.. Nice all works:
var numberOfElements:Number = 7;
var startPos:Array = new Array();
for (var i:Number = 0; i<numberOfElements; i++) {
var startObjs = eval("startobj"+[i]);

Trying to build a drag and drop navigation, all the drag and drop works great, the test for the hit works ie if its on the target it centers the drag clip over the target, if its of the target the drag clip returns to its start postion. What I cannot get right is the code to check if the target already has a clip on it, if it has that clip needs to return to its start position, so we only ever have one drag clip on the target.

is there a way to have (the postion of) objects be dependant of another one? I have attached a simple .fla file with two boxes (MovieClips) that grow in height. Since the position of the bottom box is constant, the top box soon expands "into" the one below so that parts of it are hidden. What I want is that the gap between those two objects stays constant (in this case 50px). So, is there any way to make the position of one object dependant on (the size of) another? Or is there any other "workaround"/tip you can give me?
