It may be a little confusing the way I explain it but here I go. I've been testing in Flash CS5 for awhile and saw it may be something like Photoshop, more specifically while drawing. In Photoshop there are layers which I use to divide parts of the picture such as the hair and the head in two different layers so that if there is a problem say at the top of the forehead where the hair is, the layer dividing the two separates it so when I erase a part of the head the hair doesn't go with it because it's not on the same layer.
Unfortunately in Flash it doesn't appear to work that way...in one layer I draw the head the other I draw the hair, I see a mistake in the head near the hair and I erase it...a part of the hair goes with it...then I have to redraw that part which can be time consuming unless I want a relatively bad animation(which I don't) since it's obviously not set as a default in Flash is there anyway to set it as that? I do tend to make quite an amount of mistakes in Flash because of how the brush and such works..
I had a developer who created a flash slideshow which utilized xml to load the image and attach a url to it. The project works as it should except for the urls...which seems to be set to the first one you click on.I am not a programmer, and the developer I was using, died. So, now I am stuck with a file that just needs one thing fixed to work. Any assistance in this endeavor would be most appreciated. If you want to use the files for yourself once they are fixed, feel free.
View 2 RepliesI seem to be unable to reference flash files in my HTML code that reside on a server different than that of the HTML page. When both the "swf" file and webpage are on the same server, everything works accordingly to plan using either the absolute or relative link to the swf file.

I have a simple problem that I've been working on for hours, trying to go through trial and error myself. But here's the problem. I have a function on the main timeline named startClips. Now, I want to call this from from within two movie clips, the other nested inside the other. In other words, I have a movie clip called holder, and inside of a holder, I have a movieclip called homebase. Now, here is all the code I've been trying to use to access the startClips function which is own the main timeline from the movieclip homebase:
MovieClip(root).startClips();
MovieClip(root.root).startClips();
MovieClip(parent.parent).startClips();
this.parent.parent.startClips();
I can't figure this one out. Can I get any assistance.
The request has been to modify the first item by including an FLV player. This I've done and have working without flaw.My trouble arises when users select any of the other 4 tabs and then attempt to return to the first tab where they should see a transition into the playing FLV. This is not happening after the initial load. It's been quite awhile since I've worked with AS but I figure this issue should be able to be resolved if I inject a condition to determine what item is selected.
The AS for the "accordian" is:
ActionScript Code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
[code]....
This isn't working. In fact, it seems to be skipping the initial condition if(t == "welcome"). If the nave is determined within the var navs:Array, how then can one determine the selected location?
I have my main.fla which imports external swfs that contain flv's. I have three buttons that navigate the main timeline to frames 2-4. At frames 2-4 an external swf gets loaded into an empty movie clip via this code. Each loaded swf acts like a menu with some nice vidoes loading in the background.The problem i found is the flvs continue to play as i navigate between menus, which makes the main swf/fla slow down becuase the pc is working harder to deliver all the stuff running in the background. I've added this code to frame 1 of my empty movie clip that is in my library that has the instance name 'menu1'I keep getting the error "Access of undefines property mc1"I have the source files for my site here if you can take a look and see what I'm doing wrong. I have removed this code so i don't get the error and have tried other things to no avial.

if there is a way to use the _rotation property with the Tweening class to make a movie clip continually to rotate from it's current position instead of starting back at the original position and doing the same rotation again.
I'm trying to make an movie object rotate 90 degrees by clicking on a button and then when you click the button again, the movie rotates 90 more degrees. I don't want it to start over and do that same 90 degree rotation with the Tween class.

View 1 RepliesI have an HTML page called "mypage.html" with a form on it. The form contains a text field called "FName" and when submitted, it loads "mypage2.html" with a Flash file embedded within it.Using actionscript is it possible to pull the passed value "FName" to an actionscript variable. Previous threads mentioned the GetURL parameter but CS4 kicks it back saying it is no longer supported.I'm also a bit confused on whether actionscript can pull variables directly from the browser URL. I found a reference to the variables being placed in the HTML code that embeds the SWF file:<param name="movie" value="mySWFmovie.swf?myvar=heyyou" />'Why would this be the location to configure the passed parameters and not directly from the browser URL?

I created a file that pulls data from the worldofwarcraft.com serverstatus xml page.The data populates a dropdown list and you can choose the server and it tells you if its up or down. The mini app works great on my desktop, when I upload it to my server it no longer retrieves the data.
Is Bliz blocking my server address from recieving the data? Anyone know how to navigate around this. [URL]..If you want to test it grab the swf out of your cache and load it from your desktop, it will work.
I want to build a sort of pulled down projection screen thing using ActionScript.Basically the MC will come down with a picture on it.I have this starting code which doesn't work terribly well because it just moves the screen from top to bottom instantly.

do {_root.mcScreen._y+=1;
} while (_root.mcScreen._y<200);
}
Essentially I want the screen to smoothly scroll down into place over about half a second.
