I have a bunch of movieclips which constantly do the following:
mc.parent.addChild(mc);
as in bring themselves on top. I want a movie clip to always stay blocking them, without adding it to the stage every frame, which is unnecessary memory usage.
iam tring to make a new project , i just wants to know how to make a movie clip ( constant speed ) follows anther movie clip <--- "which can be moved by the user "
<<<>>>> i believe that this idea is good , that i records the X and Y postion of the User's movie clip and just make the other movie clip points at this postion and move toward it ,
how to make the other Movie clip (( which is a car ! .. so it have acceleration , speed , steering , etc )) go to this position or let us say try to??
I'm making a room escape game and I've run into a problem. When an item gets added to the inventory, I'd like the user to be able to click on the item to affect another object (e.g. clicking screwdriver hides screws and displays other image) however when I add the code to the item, if the item is clicked and it's nowhere near the object it affects, the image pops up and it looks really stupid.
So what I'd like to be able to do, possibly using if and else statements or whatever's easiest, is to only have the inventory item be clickable if the movie clip of the object is affects is visible on the stage.
make a circle object movie clip call ball and make a rectangle object movie clip call mc and paste this coding.

can anyone explain about the movement about D? the D is talk about the distance if i go -X,way my ball go ++ to +x?
How can i make a combination of keys make a movie clip visible? Basically i want something like this to work:
if(Key.isDown(Key.Alt && Key.A)){
reminder._visible = true;
}
So when someone presses the Alt and A keys down at the same time the 'reminder' mc becomes visible?
I have a site with a container clip which all other content loads into. When one movie loads, it has a button that I'd like to be able to click to go to another page in the site (ie. unload it's parent movie and load another swf into the same container clip.
How can I address the parent container clip and tell it to unload this movie and load another swf into it?
Animation of the head that comes up with the crank on it is 15 frames long. The head stops at frame 15, and it begins to crank at frame 16. Do I make a keyframe at frame 16 of that still crank at its begininng position, double click it to get its own timeline, then import the other 7 images of the crank animation into this seperate timeline, animate its cycle, then go back to the main time line at frame 16 and it should play the cycle when the main timeline hits frame 16? What if I want the cycle to only crank once around and not loop? Then, what happens to this movie clip when frame 17, 18 20, 30 is playing? It takes say 2 seconds to play the crank animation so while the play head is going along after frame 16, and the crank is moving what is in its place on the main timeline after frame 16? Should I just put frames in for the length of the rest of the animation (brain and words coming out of the head)?
View 1 RepliesI have a simple animation which fades in two movie clip objects at the end. After this, the image stays static. I want both objects to be buttons to link to a website and to emailI'm not sure how to go about doing this, it seems once an object converted to a movie symbol it cannot be a button at the same time. How can I achieve this with CS4?

this will make your movie clip bounce. that i need to know is why does it bounce. i cant quite get my head around it. i start of and accelerate, hit 300 on the stage but then go up decreasing my speed by 0.8 every frame..
I know this sounds stupid, but I've worked like all the time with Flash 2004 and Flash MX. Now I got CS3, and I want to do the following. I made a MP3 player, but I want to make a 'play' icon visible when the music plays and the 'pause' icon visible when it's paused. Therefor the 'play' icon needs to be invisible,

View 1 RepliesI am starting off by creating a very very basic flash document, with about 10 frames in it, just to get myself used to controls etc. i have got my buttons working to go from one frame to the next, and i am now wondering how to make a button load a movie clip, the movie clip is actually just a circle i drew and converted, but i would like this to be invisible, and then to load, or "play" when a button called "1" is clicked

View 3 RepliesI wanted to make a preloader do something else besides just fill a bar. I wanted to make a movie clip play during loading, but I also wanted it to play and finish in time with the loading. For instance, if I created a movie clip of a boat slowly filling with water, and it was the preloader, my movie would load as the boat filled and when the boat was full the movie would be ready. The water fills as fast as the movie loads.

View 1 RepliesI have a very simple fla i built, all i need is the hover "over" stage to play this tween. On the keyframe I made it a symbol, movie clip. In there all the tweens are set exactly. It seems if you wanted motion on a stage,you would just put that clip on the over stage. I uploaded the fla file: [URL]

View 3 RepliesSo I have a movie clip called signInBtn and one called signOutBtn initially,
signOutBtn.visible = false;
but when a user signs in
signInBtn.visible = false;
signOutBtn.visible = true;
But after I do that, I can't click the signOut movieclip. I thought it might be because the signOutBtn was under the invisible signInBtn but that is not the case.
I was wondering how to make a movie clip got to a frame, but the game not goto that frame? For example, make an egg goto a frame, and move to a random spot, but the player wouldn't goto that screeen.
