View 5 RepliesI'm trying to basically make an arrow in the middle rotate till it points at the button you rolled over. Each button gives a value for "rot" when you roll over it. 0 degrees is up. I dunno if that's important or not. It's probably always up = 0... heh. Anyway this is the a/s for the "arrow" in the middle. It's instance is arcpoint. Here it is:
[Code]...
I know some of this stuff could probably be shortened but this is how I got it working so far. The problem is the second half of the a/s. The part where it picks a direction clockwise or counter. If it goes clockwise (which I had it working fine at the start) it points at the button fine.But the problem kicks in when it tries to go clounterclockwise. It will always pass the button and point down and flicker back and forth.
Edit: Ok I'm surprised people are even looking at this at 1 am but thats beside the point of this edit. I think it has something to do with the else if statements conditions overlapping so that's what makes it wiggle back and forth. Then again I could be wrong. I'm trying to analyze the conditions but my brain hurts and it's early (or late...).
So here's the run down. I'm trying to target a timer that is declared on the main time line (frame1) from within a movieclip. So here is the code for the timer on the main timeline:
ActionScript Code:
var timer1:Timer = new Timer(1000);
timer1.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timedFunc1);
timer1.start();
The name of the movieclip is ssRightMask_mc. I'm trying to get the currentCount from timer1, but I'm having some targeting issues. I've tried:

I'm using ActionScript 2 and I already placed the progress bar on the stage assigned it the instance name ProgressBar0 but i'm confused on how to give it a label, have it start at a certain time and end at a certain and show the percentage complete in the label.

View 8 RepliesI made this file, test1.fla where a movieclip named mc1 contains two other mcs. Then I wrote some simple code to make the target of the event (in this case a mouse event) shrink a little.
Here's the code I've used:
Code:
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onDown);
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onUp);
function onDown(evt:MouseEvent):void {
[Code]....
When I test this movie, only the selected mc that I hover is the one that shrinks, the other does not shrink (I am talking about those guys inside mc1). However I have done a similar file called test2.fla in which I replaced the nested mc's with shapes, the code is exactly the same, but in this case it's mc1 that shrinks, I mean no matter what shape I hover with mouse, both shrink.
I know (think so) that this is because of event propagation, but why do these two files react in a different manner? Is it becase the mc's inside mc1 can also be a display object container, but shapes cannot?

View 1 RepliesI'ts been since flash 5 that I've worked with flash but I'm on a tight deadline and what I need is to create a map similar like the one in this [URL] First I need to find out how to make the the pop up box that has an arrow to the county and have data within the box(I would like it to expand as more data in the future is added if possible), and then I need to know what I need to do to get the xml from a client server to update the data in real time or close.The state map I'm using is just a rough draft and I can fine tune it later as we need the demo out asap. I think im ok moving aound in flash cs4, but I'm terrible with action script as I havent studied it in years. I'm hoping this isn't that hard to accomplish with all the improvements since flash 5

View 5 RepliesI have some submenu buttons in a movieclip on the mainline. My first level of navigation in on main timeline. The submenus are grouped in movieclips on the main timeline. I basically used the same code on the main navigation for the sub navigation except the code for the submenus is in that movie clip. My trace statement reads the button is clicked (which was a quantum leap for me) but I know I need some kind of _parent code in there so it knows to go to label back on main timeline.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI'm designing a flash game where you collect an item to gain score, which then moves to another random spot where you can collect it again, etc. I've got most of it working, but I also want to add a "bonus" item, which appears after a specified time in a random place (like the original item), but I can't seem to get it working.
I tried using setInterval, but it just kept jumping all around the screen, which isn't what I wanted. I just wanted it to appear on the stage and stay there until you collect it. So I tried using a clearInterval after, and it just didn't work.
I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function

I'm trying to make some sort of game where the player is to "escort" a color to a target. The user starts as gray and the player is painted one of four colors when he hits one of the boxes on the screen. The game is over when the player's object is the same color as the target's color and they touch. All this is realized, except a part where the target is a different color every time the game restarts. So far I have
ActionScript Code:
public function randomcolor():void
{
[code]....
The target has a color assigned to it; winrar.color which is working. How do I get things working so the target is actually colored correctly?
I need the same exact image to show up at different locations in my program. Right now I have created a movieclip with the image and I've pasted it to my stage 4 different times and given each instance a different instance name. Would I make a more efficient program if I changed the location in the timeline of the movie clip and just told the program to gotoAndStop on a different frame for each image I need?
What I'm trying to do is have a user select from 4 different options and if they choose option 1, for instance, the LED image for option 1 will light up and the other 3 LED lights will then be unLit. So right now if they select option 1 I set the .visible property to false for the other 3 images.
Is it possible to have a MC go to ._visible=false after a certain amount of time? So you would roll over it and let's say after 2 seconds it would become not visible. Is this to do with the setInterval function? Actionscript knowledge is slim so be gentle.
