I'm using:this.flipQ1One.visible = false; and this.flipQ1One.visible = true; to hide and show a movie clip, the problem is that the movie clip is an object that flips then stops and by the time is shown (when the condition is complied) the flip had already happen while hide so you don't see it.What I need is that the movie clip starts playing at the moment the "visible" becomes true not before.

I am using a .flv player. When I run it in my localhost then it runs properly, but after uploaded on the my dedicated server and let it run in my browser, only the menu apears and de video itself is missing..
It all worked a few days earlyer -so why did it disapear?
I used Flash CS3 and actionscript 2.0 It's compleaty in Dutch.. I didn't make the asignments -don't flame me. I know it's low-tech.
I'm messin around with a premade Photogallery that uses external XML file to populate the flash gallery. Everything works great but I wanted to manipulate it alittle so I can add active links.Here are my tests:
Test1
I changed all instances of .text to .htmlText
published: (flashplayer 7 actionscript 2) = Everything still worked fine
Test2
I changed all instances of .text to .htmlText and added <a href> to xml file.
published: (flashplayer 7 actionscript 2) = Everything still worked fine but no link text showed up.
Test3: I changed all instances of .text to .htmlText and added <a href> to xml file and converted txtbox to "render as html"
published: (flashplayer 7 actionscript 2) = No text showed up at all.Here is the basic XML file:

i'm having a sound looping issue at the moment on my site. I'm trying to make it so i have sparks shooting out of something, and at the same time the sparks shoot out i have a electric type sound. BUT the graphics all seem to work, but the sound for some reason, just keeps looping even when i'm not moused over. I put stops for the sound all over the place on like every frame and still doesn't work. Is there a bit of code I can use somewhere that will just mute the stupid thing after you take your mouse off the button?
here you can see what i'm talking about. I don't have it on loop. [URL].. the way i'm getting this animation to work, is by having one big movie clip and inside that movie clip i have the sparks movie clip, and the blue fade movie clip, then i just dropped in the sound where the sparks movie clip is.
I want to take a screenshot from my website of another website or preferable 1 part of it (an object tag).I want it to work this way: I click on a button that will send a request to screenshot the page at this moment. Several ideas are insert the page inside a flash object and screenshot it. Or opening a browser on the server and when I click the button send a request using AJAX to tell the server to screenshot with this browser.How should I do this because I kind of failing right now with the flash Idea. The page I am trying to screenshot is a live camera that uses a .wvx object. But I can't even do that with a .swf object

I want to rotate the image in flash. kind of 3d moment
View 5 RepliesI am having trouble using symbols at the moment. Whenever, lets say, I have a character, he has many layers and I want to make him and all his layers a symbol. So I select everything using the selection tool and press F8, create the symbol as graphic and click ok. Now what happens is that all the keyframes for each layer are deleted except one randomly picked layer like "Hat" or something. So when for example I now clear visibility of the "Hat" layer and the whole drawing disappears. how can I create a symbol without this type of thing happening.
View 2 Repliesi am playing around with the rotationX/Y/Z properties available in flashplayer since version 10. for testing purpose i created a cube and put canvas objects on three sides of it (top, front, bottom) and created a tween to get the values required for turing by 90 deg. turning the cube (a canvas) using rotationX = xx works well when the three side-canvas objects are small and filled with a not-to-complex element hierarchy. when using larger and more complex content it slows down. the next idea was to remove the canvas elements content and replace it by a snapshotimage of the content instead before starting the turn, after the turn is performed the original content is put back on the sides again.
this results in a good perfomance increase. using a tween the last step of rotation is done in the function that is called as the tweenEnd handler. in this function also the process of copying the canvases content back is performed. unfortunately this results in a short hang of the cube right in that last rotation step, the reason for which is that rotation and copying back takes place at the same time. so i could wait for some time after having called cube.rotationX = endValue by using a timer or setTimeout(func, 500), but this is ugly. so my question is: after having called cube.rotationX = endValue a period of time is required to calculate data for the rotation and do the rotation itself. is there a way to find out the point in time when the rotation has ended, so that then the copying can be started ?
I would like the clients to print what they are seeing at the moment with the flash program.How is this possible? That is why I said (print screen of program) because its actually printing what the person is seeing at the moment.The thing is that my program leads to certain places and combinations of photos.So I would like this functionality.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a final schoolproject at the moment and the file size is getting really large... Because I might update this project later with more footage, I've already put a lot of code on the buttons which I have put between comment tags for now, so I'll be able to update it later easily.
The max on our project is 10MB, now there is a lot of external footage like sound and video, but still all the flash files together are taking up a lot of space.
Does anyone know if a lot of comments in the code have any effect on file size?

View 1 RepliesI'm using an Ant build script for my project developed in Eclipse 3.4.2. It's actually a Flex 4 project (using Flash Builder Eclipse Plug-in).Everything worked ok. But someday something happened and now the executions of Ant build script is silently terminated each time I run it.
When trying to debug Ant script the IDE stops for a moment on a breakpoint and then skips it.Standalone Ant execution (using command line) works well for my script.
I am trying to use a text area to display some text on a mobile AIR app. It works fine whenever I am using the phone emulator on my desktop to debug, however whenever I put the app on my phone, the text displays, then disappears. I've also noticed that if I lock the screen and unlock, the text will display just fine when I come back.
Here's the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

One other interesting thing to note is that it only happens on certain Views, and only on Views in the first ViewNavigator tab. This leads me to believe that there isn't really anything wrong with my use of the TextArea, but something else happening at a higher level in the application.

View 1 RepliesCan a button play a movieclip if it lives within another movieclip? Let me explain: Buttons in a map key ran route animations on the map. Code for button (accessed by selecting button and F9) ..reads : on (release) { gotoAndPlay("BusRoute_375");}
[Code]...
All layers and consequently all route movieClips that relate to the map as well as the stop codes for the individual route animations now reside within that MovieClip which sits on a new layer above the map key layer. However, the key buttons no longer run the route animations. What should be done so that when clicked they still play the route MovieClips. Its like the button code cant see the layers it once refered to, now that they are in a movieclip.
I am trying to create an interactive graphic. Basically, it's three squares layered on top of each other, with a large square in back, a medium square centered in the middle of the large square, and a small square in front centered in the middle of the medium square.
When you roll over the medium square, say, it expands to almost the size of the large square and some text fades in, and the small square on top of it fades away. When you roll off of the medium square, it goes back to it's smaller size, and the small square fades back in.
Currently, I have the actionscript in the movieclip to make the medium square get larger and smaller (and the text fade in), but I need to somehow reference the instance of the small square movieclip to hide it when I roll over the medium movieclip.
My actionscript for the medium square activity, currently:
Code:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
[Code]....
how to have this rolling over action get rid of the small square and then bring it back on roll out.
My question is fairly simple, but I can't find a sollution. I have a button, and I want to play a movieclip inside a movieclip from the main stage. It is the 5th frame inside the movieclip 'page' from the movieclip 'book'. I have this, but it doesn't seem to work.
View 2 RepliesI was asking button to go to a movie clip on the main timeline that had a stop frame at the beggining. Flash won't do this because it doesn't recognise anything past a stop frame and used _parent instead of _root
code on the button:
on (release) {
_global.destination_detail = "first"
_parent._parent.gotoAndStop("content_mc");
}
And in the stop frame that's at the beginning of the movieclip that contans my content:
content_mc.gotoAndStop(_global.destination_detail) ;
stop();
So I've created a variable: destination_detail
I can't see how this isn't working:[code]The button with this funtion is nested within a movieclip on the main timeline.'content_mc' is the instance name of a movie clip on the main timeline that contains frame label "1". I want to play frame label one by clicking on this button.

I am creating a webpage in flash, and for now, it consists of 3 scenes. First one is a loading bar, scene 2 is a main page with all menus, and on 3rd scene there is a gallery. I plan to make many galleries, each in different scene. Everything is ok to the moment, when I want to go back from scene 3 to scene 2. Scene 2 consists of many layers and movieclips, however, the main timeline consists only of one frame. When, in scene 2, I will get to the moment from which I am going to scene 3, so to some gallery, then after I am comming back to scene 2 (via gotoAndPlay('Scene 2', 1)), I am getting to scene in a state, as I see it just after loading bar disappears. But I want to be in a place, from which I went to scene 3. How do I achieve this? I think, there should be a way of remembering status of the scene 2 in such a way, that after comming back from scene 3 I would be in the same place from which I left to the mentioned scene 3. Be advised, that scene 2 is in one frame, and all movement in the scene 2 is done by actionscript and movieclips. I am using AS2.0.
