Try to simulate the OnPress/OnRelease aspect of earlier versions. It is working so far, but when I press the space bar, it goes around once, then stops. If you check the output, it is looping back to the enter aspect, so it looks like it is not working, but it just keeps restarting. I need to make the enter frame event not work since the keypress is already down, and only work on the first time I press it.
var spacebarKeyDown:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveChar);
function moveChar(event:Event):void{
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeysDown);
function checkKeysDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

I have a Red Cup which is a MC and I want the Red Cup to go UP when clicked on and goes back down when you release the mouse click. I know the coding is On(press) { and On(release) { But I do not know the details.
my code is listed below. basically, i wrote this code to generate a rectangle that surrounds the movie clip called 'SELECTED' along with a small square that appears at the bottom left corner of the new rectangle.this new rectangle + tiny square are supposed to act as resizing tool for the movie clip 'SELECTED'. hence, if i press and drag the small square, the mc SELECTED should get resized accordingly. that is happening to some extent, except that when i release the mouse button, neither the onRelease nor onReleaseOutside function gets called.
I have some script for a sliding gallery and buttons to move the images. how to change the function from onPress to onRelease so I can animate the button.
Lets say I have attached a movieclip from the library according to an array.length and I want to assign an onPress or onRelease on these movieclips attached lets say the length of the array was 4 .. so if I want to assign onRelease to this movieclips how do I do that?
Have you ever noticed that problems arise when you use movie clips as buttons, script their functions with AS and then, rather than simply clicking on one of them, you click and hold down. The main problem is that rollOut animations are not played.
For example lets say you have 2 buttons next to each other and you click one and hold down on your mouse, then move to the next button, you'll see that both buttons now display the rollOver state.
Is there any way around this? I test this on almost every flash site I visit and only a small few seem to be able to get around it. Usually I don't mind so much because users will rarely click and hold imo, but for the site I am building at the moment I really want to finally know how to get around it. I've noticed it does the same thing no matter what event handler I use.
I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:
First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.
I'm having some trouble with loadSound. I've created a portfolio section for a company that has short (1:30) mp3 clips. The clips are being loaded in dynamically through an XML doc. For whatever reason, when the sound loads, it plays for almost exactly 2 seconds, then restarts and plays all the way through. My flash is set up in three frames, the first two are the main gallery, then frame three is where the sound is loaded and played. "p" is defined by which icon in the gallery is clicked.
I'm running ubuntu 9.1 firefox 3.5.9 and flash player 10.1 r53. You tube works okay but napster every single track that gets to about 40 seconds restarts - and this isn't because of my subscription since it works on my laptop and desktop. Also [URL] movies restart eveysingle time too. Running on advent 4213 netbook.
I have a container swf that preloads 4 other swf's and the user can navigate between all 4.
The problem is that once loaded, the animations for all the swf's begin immediately. So the animation for the 4 swf could be finished before the user ever sees it.
I've tried reloading the swf as a new URLRequest, but that caused an issue: when I test using a simulated slower connection it causes a slight delay in the loading of the swf.
I have a box with question marks as buttons coming in from the right and then the main timeline stops, waiting for the user to rollover each button. When you roll over each question mark, the audio plays along with the corresponding text for each button. After all the buttons have been rolled over, I need to continue the main timeline from where it stopped to finish the scene.

I'm trying to make a car simulation. I've a car that moves with keys W,A,S,D and i've a map with size 1200x1400 and screen size 600x700.What i'm trying to do is when car moves any place on the map , screen shall show that area of the map. The area that car located on.
I need a proper array code for making a dynamic text field that up dates as the user pushes the keypad (btns) I played with some stuff like the one below and cant seem to make it work
Is there a way to enable a vhost without having to restart the entire fms server?It seems very horrible that you would have to kill everyone using the server to add new vhost?
I have Flash Media Interactive Server 3.5.5 on Windows 2008 server. I developed video chat application (many to many), it's only 1 FMS application with about 50-100 room instances and 1 lobby instance to which all users are connected. There are up to 600 - 700 users at a time which produce about 2000-2500 connections to FMS. Problem I have is with steady raise of memory usage, which if goes little above 2GB will make FMS unresponsive and it would restart itself after about 1-2hours. To avoid that Im restarting FMS manualy every 3-4 days. Interesting thing I noticed is that if I restart FMS from admin console, used RAM memory won't fall at levels as if it would right after whole Windows server is restarted
I am building a website where I have a fade-in MC of a box. What I want it to do is fade_in every time you switch to another page. At this point, once it fades in for the first time, the MC does not fade-in for the other pages, it is just there. I have a stop() in the last frame of the MC and no reference of the MC in the AS in Scene 1.
when running an SWF some variables are being changed and objects created.If I wanted to restart the clip I have to restore all the variables to their starting values, clear all Intervals if any and destroy the objects created at runtime.If instead I load the clip into itself using [code]
1. what is the difference between loadMovie(swf_file_name, this) and loadMovieNum(swf_file_name, 0) in this context and which one is preferable?
2. Both obviously reset the values. But do these functions perform rubbish collection, i.e. free memory of the objects created at previous run-time, clear Intervals etc to prevent memory leak and processor clogging ?
I am just getting to grips with the tween class, and was wondering if anybody would be able to following query:I am trying to pause the following tween after it has gone back and forth once, then after about 2 seconds restart it again, is anybody ablut with this?Here is the code I am using to just go back and forth once:
import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; var x1:Tween = new Tween (balloon, "_rotation", None.easeIn, -3, 4, 3, true);
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a problem I am having. I am trying to develop a simulation of a browser in Flash, and need to have a button which allows users to be able to go back to a previous screen (e.g. another .swf file) which means I need the window to be to move between .swf files.
I have tried various methods I have found online, but none seem to be working.
i am currently making a flash "pond" with fishes in it, and i have the ability to add food pellets onto the pond, how should i make the movement of my fishes to the food x,y location ? so it will be smooth , rather than setting the x,y location of my fishes to the x,y location of the food pellets.Also is there a good place to learn how to make my fishes move by its own?Fish class
since i'll be asking so many qustion, I will put all my problem in one thread here I'm planning to make a traffic simulation with AS3.0
[Code]...
which will still run the if function when the error is below 1 pixel. but i dont really like things that isn't sure, specially I'll make tens of guide movements on the stage.
trying to load a new image and still making the previous_node on the background without any blink, most seamless possible, where I�m making the mistake...?
I'm trying to preload external swf files as needed and show the progress each time a file is being preloaded. It works exactly as intended when I simulate it on my desktop but not at all when uploaded on the web: first of all nothing happens up until 50% of the main movie is already loaded and then when the the attempt is being made to load additional content, some weird number displays (-214...%) instead of the percentage. Take a look: [URL]
