I am using TweenLight and want to animate a MC. I create the MC, give it an instance name and can animate as such as long as the MC is on the stage.
Code:
TweenLite.to(Test_MC, 1, {x:300, alpha:1, scaleX:1.5, scaleY:1.5, delay:2});
but when I delete the MC from the stage I get an access of undefined property error. I want to bring the MC in an out of the stage when needed. How can I?
I'm making a game where you move your avatar around the screen, grab pickups, and avoid enemies. The avatar and enemies are movie clips containing animations. When you collide with an enemy, his movie clip plays a quick animation. All of which is working fine. But what would be the best way to bring in new enemies (which will be different) when a new level starts?
Should I try putting the enemy movie clips inside empty holder movie clips, then swapping them with addChild? So far I haven't been able to get that working. Would swapping external SWFs into empty clips be better (which I'm reluctant to do, since the code that triggers the movie clip animation on collision is working well)? Is there a way to use normal mc's without holder clips, clear them from the stage, and create new ones? Or, is there a way to simply put all the enemy animations on different layers in a movie clip timeline, and switch them by controlling the layer visibility?
I've created an animated button in flash cs3, and wanted to bring my work onto a webpage/dreamweaver. HOWEVER, I only want to import the button, NOT the entire SWF file... JUST THE BUTTON... HELP!! I am using dreamwaver cs4, and want to know how, the only thing I know how to do on dreamweaver is bring in the whole movie clip, but this just won't do...
View 2 RepliesIm new to Flash and am working on a small project and have come across a problem. I dont know how best to describe it but I will give it a go. On one frame I have multiple buttons. I want the 'down' frame of the button to come up as a bitmap image over the entire frame, however when I try to do this, when I click on the button the image shows up but is behind all the other buttons on the page. Is there anyway around this or do I need a new approach?

The animator said that he has created two symbols: one for the body, and another symbol inside the body symbol for the head.What I don't understand is how he translated the layers over into the head symbol. When I click on the head symbol, all of the layers disappear and I cannot edit an object individually within a layer.
I'm using the following code to bring in external images, however, I would like the images to come in and be behind everything else instead of placing themselves on top of everything.

roll_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, roll_btnClicked);

I am new to AC3 and I need to have my Flash movie read URL's dynamically from an XML file. I have used this code and applied it to my button(photo_link_btn):
photo_link_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_D OWN, mouseDownHandler);
function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("[URL]"));

It works when I hardcode a URL into the URLRequest line highlighted above. But I am trying to bring in the URL through XML. Here is an example of the XML data:

I am designing a page with over 20 thumbnail picture buttons on one single layer. When a thumbnail button is rolled over a larger picture will appear on the center above all of the content.

I am doing a simple loadmovie, bringing an external swf into a holder clip that is empty.
here is my code. I have it placed on frame one INSIDE the holder clip:
PHP Code:
_root.pages.weddingholder.loadMovie("wedding_section.swf",this);
The external movie loads, but the issue is HOW it loads. The swf is 643x394 and looks fantastic by itself. When it is loaded into the holder clip though, it scales it and makes it much taller and wider than the actual external SWf is, and is messing the way it looks up.
I would like to know how to bring xml data into flash.Specifically images that someone can click on the thumbnail andview the larger image.

View 2 RepliesI am using SWFOBJECT to embed my flash content. I have been worried about stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight returning 0 in Firefox/Internet Explorer; this problem is referred to in question #21 on the SWFOBJECT FAQ [URL]..I have been told that this problem is particularly prevelant on Macs. The SWFOBJECT FAQ (question 21) indirectly suggests that this problem does not occur with static publishing. Is this correct? Is it still advisable to implement a solution to this stageWidth/stageHeight problem, even if you are using static publishing?
View 1 Replies- I have A.fla.
- A.fla includes buttons, movie clips and also B.swf is loaded in A.fla using a LOADER
- i want to access elements in A.fla, from the actionscript codes inside B.fla to modify those movie clips and buttons based on actions going on in B.swf
for instance, lets say there is a button X in A.fla, and there is a button Y in B.fla, B.swf is loaded into A.fla, and I want the button Y to erase button X when clicked.
general question: accessing elements in a stage, through a SWF file loaded into that stage.
I'm writing a web based flash app that's written entirely in AS3. I have objects on the screen as part of a GUI. I would like the user to be able to resize the window, or make it full screen. I would like everything to auto-scale with the resize, but also remain in the same relative position on the stage.
View 1 RepliesI have a library swf (asset.swf), it's document class binded to Asset.as, and in the Constructor function of Asset,[code]as known to all, we cannot visit the stage attribute before the display object added to the stage.so, when my loader.swf try to load asset.swf, it throws exception and the loading come to failure is there some one tell me how to load the asset.swf? I cannot modify the asset.swf.
View 0 RepliesI've been working on a project that requires lots of scaling around a center point.
I always thought that stage.stageWidth and stage.stageHeight give you the dimensions of the stage you set in the properties panel no matter what. But when I went into fullscreen mode (with scaling), both the width and the height changed to the dimensions of the screen rather than staying the dimensions I specified.
I have a moving vehicle on the stage, which should change directions according to where I click on the stage.I already made it work using this formula:var angle:Number = Math.atan2(dy,dx)*180/Math.PI+90;However, I need the car to tween to the correct angle, instead of just "jumping" to it. While this is easy enough to do, the car sometimes takes the longer turn (especially when I click in the bottom-left quarter of the stage), and it seems unnatural.
View 0 RepliesIn my AS3 code all the elements on the page are dynamically positioned depending on the current width and height of the SWF - providing it's not under a certain value, then the items are back in their original position.
When debugging in the Flash player the size all reports correctly however when run from a web browser it does not - initially.
This is my HTML & PHP code for the entire page:
HTML Code:
<?php
function hashId($fn) {
$hash=md5_file($fn);

But I cannot get the size to report correctly without, say, clicking a button.
It seems to me like I need to force flash to re-draw the screen, but I had no luck trying to do that.
How do you make a movieclip move horizontally from the start of the stage to 3/4 of the stage. Stage size is 700 px by 600 px i want just one row in the middle of the stage. i want that movieclip to disappear right after it reach the end of the 3/4 mark.
