ActionScript 3.0 :: Covered Subject But After Spending Two Days Trying Different?
Jun 16, 2010
I know this is a much covered subject but after spending two days trying different things I have to admit I'm baffled. Got two swf I want connected to one another to act like a portfolio gallery - parent is called "portfolio" child is "portfolio_flash_2"
Both have animation at the start with the child having a skip button (cause its animation is 20 odd seconds long). after the animation the thumbnails appear for the larger images.
On both swf's the buttons I'm using to load (parent to child) and unload (child back to parent) appear after the animation - I can get the child to load from the parent but having problems knowing what proper code to use on the child button "page2_btn" to return to the parent.
On the DateChooser component, it shows the days for only the current month... but i'd like to show some of the previous month's days and some of the next month's days.Is there a property to set on the DateChooser component to show 42 days. I mean, to show some of the previous month's days + the current month's days + some of the next month's days. I'm not sure what this is called...If you look at a typical month calendar, for example for June 2011 it shows:
S M T W Th F Sa 20 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
[code].....
Is there a property that I've overlooked which shows some of the days from the prev. month and next month in the current month view? Or would I need to extend the DateChooser component and override a method?
I have a carousel menu that is placed on the stage using addChild(); It works fine, but when I place the code in my .fla, the carousel is covered up by my background graphic.I've remedied this by placing an empty movie(menuHolder) clip on layer above the background and assigning it to the addChild(), hence Code:menuHolder.addChild(imageHolder);I don't like the idea of empty movie clips on the stage. I've tried stage.addChild(), but then I get warnings and the .swf seems to slow down after a time...Here is the carousel code (sorry, it's alot, but the addChild is in a couple places)
Code: //We use 70x70 sized images (change this if different for your images) const IMAGE_WIDTH:uint = 70;
I am making a game and need to know how much a particular mc is covered by other mc's placed randomly on the screen.Is there a way to tell how much is left seen of the mc as it's slowly being covered by other mc's?
Facebook Connect uses JS/CSS overlays/popups for user interaction. I have sites with Flash elements, and no matter how I set the z-indices, the Flash always seems to go to the topI have a similar and likely related problem with a div with display:fixed at the top of the screen, where it gets covered by the Flash when you start scrolling.

I am currently designing a website for a fiend and would like to make the content of the website tabbed. What I mean by this is I would like the visitors to click on a tab (e.g. Contact) and the tab would slide out with the appropriate information inside. Okay so that part is easy, the problem I am having is that when one tab slides out all of the tabs on layers below the contact layer get covered up. I would still like for all of the other tabs to be visible. I would like for all of the tabs to slide out as if they were behind all of the other tabs. The link is: [URL]
i have 2 sprites on stage. bottomSprite is added to the display list first, followed by topSprite. topSprite partially covers bottomSprite.i've added an event listener to bottomSprite for MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVED notifications to simply trace the mouseX and mouseY coordinates. however, the notification doesn't work for the parts of bottomSprite that are covered by topSprite.
var bottomSprite:Sprite = new Sprite(); bottomSprite.graphics.beginFill(0x666666, 0.5); bottomSprite.graphics.drawRect(150,150, 150, 150); bottomSprite.graphics.endFill();
i've been reading a variety of tutorials on the subject of inheritance, and i felt ready to try creating a chain of a few classes.right now i have two similar classes, Avatar and Enemy, which extend movieclip. What i'm trying to do is move a lot of their common functionality into a parent class which i'm calling Actor. I want to make Actor extend MovieClip, then make Enemy and Avatar extend Actor instead of Movieclip.[code] What it says is true. I have an object in my library which is a movieclip. It's Exported for Actionscript with it's class as Soldier, and a base class of Avatar. this is the continuation of the chain. However it doesn't seem to want to work.As far as i understand, the above setup is pretty much equivilant to making a .as file for Soldier that extends Avatar.
I'm making a snowglobe for the holidays and as such, I'm looking to have it snow INSIDE the globe only. What I've done is make a mask for the globe so that the "snow" movie clip will only be visible within the globe. I also have a duplicate movie action in my main movie to create a lot of snow.
The problem, though, is that the duplicates do not get masked like the main snow clip. Is there a way to fix this?
Email link works, but I don�t know how to prevent the OE (email klient) to display subject, because this not works from Flash, but the same code works in HTML site normally - the Subject is displayed
I overheard some watercooler talk the other day and the subject was using the mic as a means to control the interactivity of a flash site.Example: Every sound that the user's mic "hears" results in an event much like clicking on a button to reveal a dropdown menu.
Or: The more you scream, the more popups appear on the site.
i'm having some issues trying to get an email button to work correctly. The button is on it's own layer above a embedded video. The action script is as follows:
[Code]...
I've tried it with a ? mark rather than &, but using the question mark doesn't seem to bring up the subject line while testing. During testing, and using the & symbol it works just fine. But when I publish the file and test it on the web page, it doesn't bring up the mail program like it does during the testing process. Does anyone have any clues as to fixing this problem. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the php code housing the flash may be causing some kind of conflict. If needed... the link to the flash is at this link to show what I mean. [URL]
I work with Flash 4. I've made a button and set Get URL as Properties. In this URL field I want to link an email adres including subject en text in the body field.For example, I've filled out the URL form like this.mailto:info@adayswork.nl?subject=hello&body=How are you. I am ok.
When you click on the button, Outlook opens and everything seems te work. But who knows how I can put an ENTER between How are you. and I am ok.I think it's something in the expression editor, but when I put an Enter between those 2 lines it still doesn't work.When I hit the New Line button in the expression field it seems to work but the words New Line won't dissappear in the Outlook window.
On a menu I have various school subjects. I have a separate movie for each subject. When you click a subject on the menu; a coresponding movie loads on the stage.
The actionscripting is quite simple:
on (release) { loadMovie("Art.swf", "_root.Facilities"); }
Yet however I try I can't get the swf to load .
I realise I need to configure the target so the swf loads in the right place but I'm unsure if this is the problem.
var subject="My Subject"var body="This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. "var to="me@address.net" function sendMessage(event:MouseEvent):void {var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:"+to+"?subject=" +subject+ "&body="+body);navigateToURL(email, "_self");}
The problem is no matter what I have tried I cannot get the subject and body text to show any text. The email client open and the correct address is shown. Is this a problem with trying to run it locally and not from server or is there a problem with the code?
I need to send an email from flash alongwith the Subject and Body data.When i do the testing in Flash by pressing "Cntrl + Enter" and click on the email button it works properly i.e. it opens an outlook new mail window and the To, subject and BOdy fields are filled with the data that I am sending from flash.
Now when an close the Flash application and open the folder in which the swf is published and run the swf then mailto funcionality does not work properly. i.e. it just fills the To field and reamaining fileds like subject and body are empty!I finally need to embed this swf in html file so the feature should work embedded in html also.
I've managed to get a sensor attached to an arduino talking to flash using something called AS3glue. it works, when i set up a trace("leaf") for the contition that the sensor reads 0, i get a printout of the word "leaf". however i want the program to make a graphic appear on the screen when this condition is met, not just trace something.
I'm trying to get the program to generate a library object called "Enemy" on the screen at a random position each time the conditions are met. It's called enemy because I was following a game tutorial...actually it's a drawing of a leaf. Here's the bit of the code which is causing me problems:
We have an application in which the user has to enter a date who's value is no more than 30 days after the the current date (the date on which the user uses the application). This is a Flash application, therefore I need a way to add 30 days to the current date, and get the right date. [code]...
creating a script for "Days without Accident" counter, that the end user would be able not only reset, but choose the number of days to begin the count down with, without interfering with the script.
