If you don't add an asset (text field, mc, btn etc) to the stage / create the object dynamically, is it possible for the asset to move x,y position or alter it's properties depending on the user environment? If so, what environments can cause this? IE what browsers, op. systems, player versions etc?
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make a movie clip move left or right depending if you move the cursor to the right or left on th screen. The clip is long and it have a lot of thumbnails and when it reaches the end of the stage has to stop. I have achieved this, but when the mc comes to the side of the stage it is getting slower and slower and I need it to move with a constant speed.

This is the code:

var end:Number = -((x_down)/.8 + 50);
var key:Number;
var c_key:Number;
var start1: Tween = new Tween( padre_mc, "x", Regular.easeInOut, padre_mc.x, (padre_mc.x + 280), 1, true);

I'm attaching [phil+"a"] to ["bob"+i] and I can't seem to be able to alter phil's properties. Tracing I get undefined.
_root["bob"+_root.i].attachMovie(_root.train, _root.phil+"a", _root.i, {_x:_root.hold._x, _y:_root.mover});
_root.phil._alpha =0;
trace([phil+"a"]._alpha);
I have the two team names for my game appear in dynamic text boxes. What I would like is to be able to alter the properties of the text box depending on which team has their go.This is the code which switches teams:
Quote:
function getRandomFishPoint() {
index = Math.floor(Math.random()*(points.length));
txtPoints.text = points[index];[code].........
So what do I have to add to have the text change colour, or something. I'm still figuring out what I want to change, but I would like to know how to change the properties of the text box.
if you have an active state and a passive state for something, you can jump between the two with gotoAndStop(2), gotoAndStop(1); or you can manipulate whatever property is changing directly (e.g. if it's alpha, then symb.alpha=0.5, symb.alpha = 1.0). I've found myself jumping between the two, and I don't like it (I like to have a standard, or at least a usual). What's considered a good practice
View 4 RepliesI'm building a Flex/AIR application that connects to a remote server, the URL of which changes depending on the environment (development/production, and possibly others). For now, this URL parameter is hardcoded in my root application MXML file but it means I have to change it everytime I build my app for a different environment.Is there a way to externalize such a parameter so that when Flash Builder automatically builds my app (in development mode), it uses the development URL
View 1 Repliesis it possible using actionscript to determine what operating system the flash projector is running on. I'm producing a swf that is to run from a cd-rom and so will be published as an .exe for windows and a .app for mac...parts of the presentation change depending on what os the user is running it on. I don't want to have to publish, change things and then republish. If it were a swf embedded on a web page, the browser would provide all those details...
View 1 RepliesAre there any Air + Zend Amf examples that use a real world web server and not localhost?
Basically I cannot get an Air or Flex application connected to a remote mysql db to work once deployed. How can I successfully move a finished application to a normal web server (website).
When testing everything works no problem but as soon as I deploy the gateway.php (regardless of where i put it on my web server) will not connect. I've even tried flash builder 4 auto generated code and still no luck
The issue I'm having is that I have a main "wrapper" 100x100 (but it could be any size) - it's just there to hold and display whatever content, swf, gif, etc we may want to throw into it. As long as the loaded content doesn't have 3D animation like rotationY going on, it displays fine. But when it does, the 3D "anchor" properties (like projectionCenter) of the loaded swf inherit those of the main timeline (i.e. 100x100 (main) vs 728x90 (loaded)). If I change the dimension of the main "wrapper" in Flash IDE to match what's coming in - the 3D behaves fine, but I won't know what the dimensions of the content will be until it comes, so I need a way (if there is one) to dynamically alter the main "wrapper" or root display object through AS. Stuff like "this.width = loader.width" or "stage.width = loader.width" or "root.width = loader.width" etc doesn't work. Flex has the hBox and vBox

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 2 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 want to stop ball depending on the speed. when i will set the ball speed that time i want to move this ball on this speed.
View 5 RepliesI'm hoping someone can solve this headache. Basically, I want a movieclip to move to the position of each of my buttons from any position along my x axis. Therefore, the movieclip needs to 'flip' to face the way it is traveling.At the moment I have the movieclip moving to the mouse x axis when I ROLLOVER the button and stop following the mouse when I ROLLOUT but the code won't flip the movieclip so I must have something wrong...
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,followCa t);
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,follow Cat);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,stopCat );

I have a flash project where I have two movies that are supposed to synchronize, depending on user choices. Most of the time they do, randomly they do not. So I thought perhaps there is something wrong with the code I am using.
Code:
on (press){
this.movie1.gotoAndPlay(random(this.movie1._totalframes));
if(this.movierandom.enabled == false){
this.movie2.gotoAndPlay(this.movie1._currentframe);
}}
What's supposed to happen is, when the button is pressed, movie1 goes to a random frame and plays. If movierandom is not enabled, movie2 is supposed to go to the same frame as movie1 and play. Movie1 and movie2 have the same number of frames. Occasionally, movie2 goes to a different frame.
I know this can't be to hard too achieve, but my actionscript skills aren't quite up to it yet.
- I have 5 frames within a MC.
- In this MC there is text saying "center", "left", "right", "up", "down" on each frame.
- All I want to be able to do is make the MC change to frame 3 "right" when my mouse moves to the right of the MC.
I know the script below is wrong, but would it go something like, this. Would I have to use angle and math or is there a simpler way to achieve this?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to have text start in a specific column depending on the character count.
Basically our site will have 3 columns. For example if the text only has about 300 Characters - it would start in the right column. If it had between 301 & 600 characters - it would start in the middle column and run to the right column. If it had more than 601 characters - it would start in the left column and run to the middle then right column.
Is it posible to make a flash site, which will change the size when the vistors resolution is diferent? Practicly, every visitor will see the same size of the site, even if he has 800x600 or 1280x1024??Maybe making html go fullscreen but make the swf occupy only 80% of the screen, so it always have the same proportion to the users monitors.Do you have any example?

Anybody has an idea how to accomplish something similar with the gallery in this website?
I have an XML gallery in my project that has pre-specified numbers of columns.
- How it could be possible to detect user's screen resolution (use of Event.RESIZE?) and according to this to change the number of columns - and of course rows?
Forgot to mention that I load records from a database so I am not aware of the total number of images...
