I'm trying to move a movieclip on each ENTER_FRAME by changing the x-value and it seems like x-values below 1 isn't accepted. Am I doing something wrong or is that simply the way it is? Because if it is, is there any work-around to make the clips move slower than += 1 without changing the frame rate or using a Timer?

I'm trying to use ENTER_FRAME method to get a moving movieclip to change direction when it hits certain x and y coordinates. I want the movieclip to move horizontally, then down, then horizontally again. With this code my movieclip starts off moving down at a diagonal and I can't for the life of me figure out why. (probably something simple I'm overlooking?) I'm a beginner at actionscript.

I want to create an endless loop, 8 items moving in a circular shape. When you roll over of each item, it will stop the moving, and you should be able to click it.
I dont know what should I use, should I use Event.ENTER_FRAME or the circular shape should be in movie clip, so that when there is a mouse over event, it will stop moving?
Oh ya, I code everything in AS3, including the movement, objects etc. Something like a new class
I am creating game which involves some billiard-like balls to bounce on the screen. I created a MovieClip with only one frame which represented the ball, exported it to the class, extended it to my needs and animated it using Event.ENTER_FRAME. It works fine, but there is something that confuses me -- both, the stage and the ball have only one frame each, so I don't quite understand how Event.ENTER_FRAME works... I mean, if there are no keyframes, how is done the animation? If I used already animated MovieClip, I would have to add keyframes, right?
View 4 RepliesWhen I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.

It transpires that there was another Sprite being create and set to alpha=0 which just happend to be at the same Y position as the height of the SimpleButton. This was preventing interaction with the button.
I have a SimpleButton which I am positioning on the stage. I'm doing a variety of things with it buy when I set it's Y position it breaks/alters the hitArea.
var playUp:Bitmap = getBitmap('play_up');
var playDown:Bitmap = getBitmap('play_down');
var Y:Number = 100;

I have been playing about with the "Changing colors with Actionscript" FLA found on this site. Basically, when you move your mouse over a coloured box the movie clip changes to the corresponding color. This is the AS

Lets say we have a movieclip "Enemy" in the Flash library and a class "Enemy.as" is associated with it which listens to ENTER_FRAME event as follows,

Okay I have a script in which I have added an image to the stage. It is absolute centered. I then have another with is on top but much bigger. I would like the big image to move opposite of my mouse position on the smaller image. ie: cursor is on bottom left corner the bottom left corner of the larger image is in the same spot. And the same thing for any other area.
I have tried many different ways but to no avail. I have done research but no one has been able to give me a solid answer. Anyone know of a way to accomplish this. Keep in mind this it needs to work regardless of the image size.
I load an image into a MovieClip. At a second time I want to move this image to another MovieClip.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a movieclip move slower at a certent place in my movieclip. This means, that the speed needs to be lowered when e.g. showing af picture. Here is the situation. I have a movieclip running different pictures. E.g. the first runs for 115frames and fades out. Instead of runing 115 frames i want the movieclip to run 5 frames (picture fading in) and the stops or delays for 10sek and then goes to frame 6 from where the picture fades out. Where in the movieclip should i place this Action Script?

View 6 RepliesThis may come across as beginner stuff: I'm working In ActionScript 3.0. I have a MovieClip called FloorStatusChanges and within it are two MovieClips called Floors and StatusChanges.The MC called Floors contains Three wireframe-looking floors(each floor has it's own MC).The MC called StatusChanges contains three buttons that have the Instance Names of FirstFloorButton, SecondFloorButton, and ThirdFloorButton.Within the FloorStatusChanges MC, I've set up a motion tween for these wireframe-looking floors to move into and out of the stage so that upon clicking one of the buttons in StatusChanges it would, in theory, cause this motion tween to happen. It has stop(); commands between every motion:Within the StatusChanges MC, there are 4 layers. 3 are for each button consecutively and 1 for the Actionscript. This is how they look:Here's the set of actions I've given for the first frame:
ActionScript Code:
SecondFloorButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SecondFloorSelect);
function SecondFloorSelect(e:Event){

I have made a movieclip and gave the frame this actionscript:
------------------------------------------------------------
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {[code]........
it moves fine and stuff but i was wondering how can i restrict the area in which the movieclip can actually move ? my flash file is 550px X 400px and i want to make it so that it can only move in 300px X 200px of the file if you understand ?
I have a movie clip with a graphic. I want to copy the clip and change its colour. How do I create a copy of the movie clip change its properties without the other movieclip's properties changing as well. I have it now. I was copying the instance not the graphics themselves.
View 1 RepliesBasically, I want to change the colour of a component in my fla file that is called 'EDL Arrow' using Actionscript
'EDL Arrow' is a Movieclip and is part of another movileclip called 'EDLClipDisplay' - which exports to my actionscript file: 'Export: CIS.FLVPlayer.EDLClipDisplay'
How can I change the colour of the component 'EDL Arrow' from the actionscript file 'EDLClipDisplay'
I understand how to do colorTransforms but I just don't understand how to connect this component 'EDL Arrow' with my Actionscript file.
I am new to Flash and Actionscript and am currently working on some code pulled from another post to try and learn from what others are doing or have done. I have created a star movieclip and am attempting to move it randomly accross the stage in a relatively slow speed. When I run it, it moves randomly but way too fast. I have spent the last 6 hours playing with the code, researching help files and also looking up other discussions but nothing seems to be helping. Here is what I have so far. My apologies if the code looks like a hack. This is being done in CS4 if that matters at all. If anyone could shed some more light on how to handle controlling the speed or rate of random movement with some insight

Im trying to keep all my movieclips onto 1 layer/mother mc to speed up the flash display engine
I have these takable items(movieclips) that respawn after a while.
Initially i build the level starting with all the takable items before adding all the players/npc's. This way the player and npc's walk over the objects if they are not taken.
After an items respawns though, i have to re add them to the main mc and then they appear to be over the npc's and they seem to be moving under a carpet of stuff.
Its a nice 3d effect but totally unwanted in this scenario.
Is there a way to make sure that items are added as child before a certain clip (like the player). I tried using addchildat but this gives me a index error now and then. I dont really understand how the depths are worked out by flash.
I was thinking of storing the original depth of an item movieclip and then on restore, addchild at at its old depth. Or is there a more sensible way?
Also: can two movieclips occupy the same index/depth level? or are the incemented or something?
I'm trying to change the y-scale or x-scale of a movieclip. I've tried a few tutorials but they're always talking about "elem._yscale".. However it's no longer supported by AS5.

Save a changing movieclip as a var
var myclip:blank = MovieClip(holdbutton2.getChildByName("but2" + [myplacerb] ))
When you're in the flash application, you can watch the properties of an instance. In the properties tab, you can also click "Swap", this will ask you about which instance you would like to use. The original object will now change into another movieclip. So, how do I do this with Action Script?

View 5 RepliesI have this piece of actionscript working
Code:
var my_color = new Color("mymc");
my_color.setRGB(0xFF0000);
This works when I call the actionscript say from a button on the same timeline as the movieclip. What I can't get my head round is how I change the colour of an object on a different timeline, say if the path to the movieclip was _root.mc1.mc2.mymc
There's no way to directly change a MovieClip's parent MC? That is, move it from one MC to another?
View 5 RepliesI have a movieclip which is dragged on to the stage, with the instance name "monster_0". The code tells it to execute the function "createNew Monster", which duplicates the Movie Clip, removes the original, and adds new variables to the new one (such as health, etc).

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create a Flash Movie that emulates those poetry magnets. There are a bunch of buttons (magnets) on the stage and when you click on one, you can drag it and place it next to another. That way you can write sentences by moving the buttons (magnets). The only problem is that I want it so when I click on a button (magnet), that it sets it's depth higher than the other ones so it will look realistic, like you are actually moving it over the others insted of over some and under others. Is there anything that I can add to the on (press) handler to change the depth of the movie clip being clicked on?
