what I'm trying to do is Instance a rectangle and move it across the screen, and as it's moving, make more rectangles. For some reason though, it's only making one rectangle, and the timer is taking way more than what I thought would be 100 milliseconds. Any help would be appreciated. >

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?
I'm writing a video game and I have used timers all over the place to make everything go. Now I want to be able to pause the game, completely. Meaning, I need to stop and start all timer instances at once, or globally. So I created a Timer subclass called CustomTimer, put some statics in there, came up with the attached code. Now my problem is that I'm pretty sure I've created a memory leak, in that the instances array will just grow and wont allow or gc. So, my question is, is there an "onDestroy()" method or somesuch, that I can override, and use that moment to remove instance refs from the instances array? Or, is there a smarter way to do this? an application object with a pause method perhaps?
View 11 Repliestutorial where when you click on a movie clip it moves to a certain location on the page and then zoom in and makes it a certain size. Also i want it to move back to its original location if you click it again.I want the move and zoom to be smooth so the users can see it move across the screen then gradually get bigger.
View 5 Replies2. When the image loads, click the "Crop Image" button on the left side3. Start dragging the corner handles around (the mid handles are not coded for yet)4. If you move the handles fast enough and let go, the rectangle does not stay with the handlesI think the problem has something to do with the rectangle I create and use. Notice that once you get the handles away from the rectangles,Here is the code:
Code:
private function grabberdrag(evt:MouseEvent):void {_grabarray[_i].x = _grabbers.mouseX;//move the current handle to mouseX

I am drawing a rectangle at 0,0 with a line-style-thickness of 4px. It has height 100% and width 50%. The right-hand edge has a border 4px wide, but all 3 other sides are only 2px, suggesting the mid-point of the edge is classed as the border. Why isn't the edge drawn 'inside' the rectangle?

The only thing is, I'd like the registration point to be in the middle (not the top left corner). Is there a way to set up the registration point in the middle of the rectangle, but still have the position of the rectangle be correct?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to put together a sideshow using a modification of load_images.fla (a sample file supplied with Flash) combined the the 'Kirupa Menu with Slider' tutorial ([URL]) The slideshow uses a 'next' & 'previous' button to click thought the images. In addition to this I have a separate slide menu navigation (currently just numbers 1-7), with a rectangle highlighting the number of the image being viewed. I would like to move the rectangle to show which image is being viewed, when the 'next' or 'previous' button is pressed. The follow code shows the actionscript for the 'next' & 'previous' buttons....

View 2 RepliesOk I have this 100% width/height Flash embedded and when the user moves the mouse I want to display a panel, which disappears after x seconds if there is no more mouse movement.
I think I need an addEventListener, but I am not sure MOUSE_MOVE is the correct one. When the mouse stops moving I need to start x seconds to hide the panel, so I think with a timer?

when the mouse rolls over an image, text appears (in a small rectangle) and it moves with the mouse, only while it is still over the image.

I'm making a game like Super Smash Bros., and so far it's pretty good. However, I came across one problem: I can't get the camera to move. Basically, I somehow want the camera to always show 100% of everything on the screen. If a character goes really far down, I want the camera to zoom out. If they're next to each other, I want it to zoom in. How do I do this? I didn't get a single dang response to like the last 4 posts I made.
View 2 RepliesI have just re-installed Flash CS4 onto two Vista machines (laptop and desktop) and the response time of the authoring screens is ridiculously slow on both. For example with the Actions Panel displayed, it takes 18-20 seconds to move the cursor along a line of code.
All other CS4 appilcations such as Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator all work very well and have no such problems. The computers have plenty of hard disk space and RAM (eg. Acer Aspire Desktop new computer with 1Tb disk and 3Gb Ram) and the CPUs are running at less than 50% (task manager) and there are no other apps running. I have disabled Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 with no effect.
This the code to move my hero mc around the screen However, when you click directly under or over the mc it doesn't move. When I say directly above I mean the angle not the distance. ie: I am well above the mc but it doesn't move. Little kids are going to play this and it needs to be more responsive or they get frustrated.
