ActionScript 3.0 :: Build A Step-scrollbar?
Jul 31, 2011
I'm trying to build a scrollbar object that needs to be able to dispatch the location of its dragbar on certain locations only. Additionally, and most importantly,I want the dragbar to "snap" to certain points along its path while dragged, dispatching an event only when the snap point is reached.
I'm sure I can easily figure out the event-dispatching part with the help of a Signals object, so this is not a problem. What I don't know is,how can I make the dragbar snap to, say 10 points along the trackbar path? review the attached SWF (it includes a Slider Component but I would rather prefer not to use it and build my own instead) in order to get a better idea of what I need.

I have a flash template in Flash AS - 2 , with a initial sound that triggers at the very beginning in full sound. Now what I want to slowly mute the sound gradually step by step up to the loading of the home page. How can I do that? Worthless. I attached a very simple fla with sound. There is a stop action and at this point the home page is loaded.Now how can I mute the sound slowly upto this point.

how to code is a small 12-step volume bar. For each increasing step a white dot should show, so when the volume reaches maximum 12 dots would be shown. Same goes for when the volume is decreased, each step will remove a dot (from right towards left) until the mimimum of 1 step is reached. To turn the volume up/down two buttons should be used, a "-" and "+". I'm not asking for a design or complete code, "just" a hint or walkthrough. Been trying for several hours now.

i apologize if this post is redundant. i'm searching unsuccessfully for recent, step-by-step instructions on how to set up ActionScript 3, Flex 4.5 and AIR 2.6 with TextMate on Mac OS X. i've found several posts concerning required bundles, but most of the threads are a few years old in addition to having convoluted, sparse instructions for setting up. it seems that auto-complete and .swc files are supported, which is great. in addition to instructions i'm also very interested in learning about what isn't supported and other common pitfalls.
i've been familiarizing myself with TextMate's UI and it's amazing. i would much rather use it than Flash Builder / Eclipse, or even Flash Professional. one last question - i understand that it's possible to set up our own keyboard shortcuts to compile with MXMLC and write the .swf to disk. is it possible to have the .swf auto open in Flash Player Debugger after it is compiled. essentially, i'd like to continue using Command+Enter shortcut for testing movies in Flash Professional to build and launch since i would certain have a difficult time adjusting to new muscle memory.

I�m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I�ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I�m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:
on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
I�m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.

I would like to know if it is possible to control the property of movie clip with the enterframe event until it meets a particular condition then if it does another one.
1) My MC (this) of size 50% increases by 10% on enter frame until it reaches 150% of it's size
2) When it does reach 150% it then starts to shrink by -=10 until it gets to 100%
3) When it does get to 100% it goes and plays a particular label inside this MC's time line.
I need this funtion to be reusable, so that several MC's can call it on the timeline.
I tried with the following similar code:
limitX=this._xscale;
limitY=this._yscale;
//define my variables
[Code].....
Don't worry about the synthax of gotoandplay is just to illustrate, basically this does nothing and I have been told that is is because I redefine limitX everytime I call the function, but how do you get around this?

I found this when looking around for something usefulbut I can't make it work. Is there anyone out there that has been using this or something similar? Do you know any tutorials or maybe example fla files that I could use? I'm kind of a beginner so I would need things explained a bit more.

I cann't find in all documentation just a simple thing how to publish a video on the web.What I did so far more or less successfull:
1. encoded a video to a flv file
2. I used video import from my local drive folder
3. selected a ready playback OverAll skin
4. was able to run test and preview successfully
Now begun some problems, sometimes I could see the movie on the web, sometimes included the skin, sometimes without the skin.
5. I saved fla to the folder as test.fla
6. I changed contentPath to my web [URL]
7. I pressed publishe video
8. I found test.swf and test.html in my folder
9. In test.html I removed everything but just leave <object>.......</object>
10. I transfered the three files swf flv html to the web folder
I tried different ways.Never I could see playback Skin, I could see it only after I moved the OverAll.swf also to the web folder. But why I need this?

In TFS 2010 build, I have a new build and I want to call an ant script that builds Flash. How do I call the ant script? Also How can I compile the Flash directly? I've seen the Power Tools and this question but it doesn't help me as we don't have TFS 2008. I can't find any documentation on how to use the power tools except the 1 sentence on the bottom of download page saying to create your build the old way and import it (which isn't very helpful). I've installed the power tools on the agent computer but I don't see any new options in the Toolbox when I'm designing the build flow.

I just started working with ant a few days ago. Right now I have a general buildall.xml which should call each project's build.xml. Because some projects depend on each other, I need to rebuild some other projects which depend on it. This isn't a problem--I'm just setting the depends property of the target. However, ant is always building the dependencies, even when the files haven't changed.Let's say project1 has no dependencies; project2 depends on project1; project3 depends on project1, 2; project4 depends on project1, 2, and 3; and so on.I could hack a solution which looks at project K, and checks if project 1 .. project K have updated files using uptodate. If so, then run the target. This is messy and appears unnecessary.
What is the cleanest way to implement this?EDIT: So I decided to just hack in a bunch of targets, "check_projectK" where it does the uptodate checks on all of its source files, its build file, and the build files of the 1 .. K-1 projects. Due to dependencies, this is always handled correctly. However, this is still a large amount of copy and paste for a large workspace.

Using FDT, when I have a debug configuration with several operations in the launcher chain and the final launcher opens in Flash Player, how can I retrieve the build output from the console once the build is complete and Flash player is running?
It seems that once Flash Player has started the console clears to make way for the application's trace output, but I need to be able to look back over the events and build times for each item in my launch chain while Flash Player is running. Is there a setting I can enable to either log my build output to a file or to preserve it in the console?
Edit: I know I can still read the info when building normally, this question is specifically for building with the debugger.

exe now for debugging. The problem is I don't know how to do "step into" with that. There're two command for stepping, "step" and "next", but it all behaves similar to "step over" in a GUI debugger.So is there any good way? Maybe I need to set a break point in the beginning of the function i'm going to step into, continue the execution and finally remove the break point?

I have been learning about classes and oop programming with AS2. I think I have a very good idea of how it all works, but I'm lacking in one final area before I can truly say I'm coding in OOP.Currently, I use a contentmanager class to route all button commands through. This class handles the removal and preperation of the stage for content change, and then seperate classes handle the actual loading and placement of the new content.So in a way, its not really OOP, just very well organized code.
The next step is Event Management in AS2. I know it can be done, I read through a few tutorials, but get confused by it all.What I'm looking for now is two things.. a very good Event Management tutorial or article if anyone knows of any..as well as a sample site that can be downloaded or viewed which has been written using OOP. I want this sample site, to re-evaluate how my current way of programming holds up compared to more proffessional examples...
(Perhaps even we can turn this into a hot thread with examples of code and structures to help other developers trying to gain a grip on OOP..?)

I have two movieclips nested inside of a movieclip.I placed code on one of the internal movieclips to have its x position increase upon each frame tick, and when it surpasses or equals the x of the other internal movieclip, I need it to turn around and go the opposite way.If it were as simple as this, I could have just done:
Code:
if (_root.OuterClip.InnerClip1._x >= _root.OuterClip.InnerClip2._x){
_root.OuterClip.InnerClip1._x += Speed;
}else{
[code]...
But neither work.

Basically say I have 4 areas in my website. There are 4 buttons that correspond to the four areas.
On the main screen are outlines of boxes. Each section will have a different sized rectangle so I want the boxes to transform to the new sized box.
So say you click on number 2 and you are on section 1. The main box will change size to the shape in number 2 from number 1. Then say you click on button 4. The box will then change to the shape of the box for section 4 from the size of the previous box.
How do you get it to remember where you are in order to transform to the area where you click the button?

What is the shortcut for going ONE step back, when being inside a MovieClip. I get inside the MovieClip using "Edit in place" (CMD+Alt+E), but HOW DO I GET OUT using a shortcut?(In the old days i could just use the 'edit in place' shortcut again without having anything selected, but since CS4 or 5 upgrade, that option is gone.)

I have seen InBufferSeek property of NetStream , useful for seeking or steping video from buffer.. Which I use with Step() method to forward and rewind functions for my Custom Player. When user select to make fastForward I set, below variables
netStream.inBufferSeek = true; // to make step from buffer and not from server
netStream.pause(); // pause video as suggested by adobe for using step()
netStream.maxPauseBufferTime = 3600; // allow stream to buffer more data in pause Mode
After that I call a Function in Regular interval which steps vide
netStream.step(75);
This works fine.. but my vidoes PlayHeadtime not get updated with this.

When step1 finish, step1 call a content event. This event unload step1 and load step2. The play is not a problem and it works good.In the content I have a rewind button but it works bad. It go back 8 frames at time, but when I stay in the first frame of step2 I must to call step1 and go to last frame position (.totalFrames).I try with global variable MovieClip(root).var but not good. I try also with not unload step1 but not solve

I have a <s:Scroller> surrounding a <s:Group>. The scroller works, but I want to increase the vertical step size on the scroller. I've tried everything, but am having no success. Modifying the scroller.verticalScrollBar.stepSize value in the init function seems logical; however, this approach fails.

I need to be able to create a flash movie that allows me to step through it with a button.
For instance, a little opening shows, then a button comes up and when you press that button, you go to the next frame, to press another button to take you to the next frame, and so on and so on...
I put the button(s) on their own layer, and I had it working, but the first two buttons you had to press twice to get to the next frame, after that it worked fine.
