I am using the smoke AS3 file from: [URL] Everything works great, but I would like for my particles to load on a certain level, for example:
[Code]...
Actually, I would like for my Content to always be on top (pertaining to my layer order on the timeline) and everything else to always be behind, but in the manner described above. I'm not sure how to do this,
I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.
View 7 RepliesI have a movie that's 500x400 px in level 0 and has lots of thumbnails with pictures that I want to open. the thumbnails open a 500x400 px movie above the other but on level 1. the problem is that when the new movie loads on level 1, the thumbnails on level 0 (that are now hidden by the new movie) are still active, and if i click anywere in the movie on level 1, it trigger an action from level 0. Is it possible to load a movie to level 1 that deactivates the movie in level 0 without unloading it?

View 2 RepliesI am planning a complex system where eventually users will need to do immersion into 3rd dimension and also play lots of flash quizz. I know director can load flash which makes it obvious choice for development but coding in lingo (a non POO language) maybe a little bit of regression looking the average age of the development team that I am building. So looking forward, i wonder if it's possible to make flash load director levels.
View 3 RepliesI have seen in some games where instead of loading the whole game at the beginning of the game, they load one level, with the preloader on the screen, then when that level is over, another level is loaded, with the preloader on the screen, etc. I've been trying to find a tutorial or some information on how to do this online but couldn't find anything. I have a game that takes a long time to load when loading it all at the beginning of the game, so I'd like to load it level by level.

View 5 RepliesI'm designing a site at the moment & I've run into a minor snag. I am loading about five external swf's, for each page of the site, from the main 'home' page. you can view it here Trouble with levels. I can load the movies fine, but what I want is to load each new movie into a higher level than the last, as each movie appears with a mask (for an example have a look at the site I've done then click on the 'Contact Us' button - that is what I want to do on all of the pages...) all of the swf's are loaded into level one with the exception of the 'Contact Us' page. (By the way, there is no 'News' page yet)
The very simple code I used to load the movies is:
Code:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("contact.swf", 2);
}

I'm using xml to load .flvs into a movie player. I have it setup to load an external .swf to level 1 when the movie is finished. My goal is to have the .swf on level 1 select the next .flv from the xml array by way of simple buttons. Needless to say, it's not working. Anyone care to give it a crack?

How can i load this data from an external file which is easy to edit for the level-desiners ? (and what is best to use, xml, json,?) Is is not better to just use 1 datafile instead of 3 and what is the best way to do this?
how do i load a movie clip SYMBOL at the highest level and then unload it.
i dont want a SFW or JPG to be loaded- that would be one of the symbols from the same swf file.
the issue is- i have used "getNextHighestDepth()" to create movie clips.. now i need to add a box on top of that- so again, i will have to use "getNextHighestDepth()" - which im having hard time to unload (when i use duplicateMovieClip) -
im trying to create a level select screen so the buttons unlock as you complete a level, so far i have this on each button:

I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
i have game im doing, and i want it to jump to level 2 upon completing the first level, but the problem is, the level 2 is a seperate swf, i've tried to use

}
I have called main.swf into a container in index.swf.
myMCL.loadClip("main.swf","container"); is an action on my Index.fla timeline.
I have my navigation on index. (i wanted it to go on main, but the nature of the animation meant it had to go on index)
I need to call "home.swf" into "main.swf" from the navigation button in Index.swf.
When I had the navigation on "main.swf" this was my code to call "home.swf" into the page.
on (release) {
Preloader_mc.gotoAndStop("home");
}
("home") is the label name where the preloader is for home.swf
how to call the preloader for home into main.swf from "INDEX.SWF INSTEAD OF MAIN.SWF"

View 4 RepliesI've made it so when you die in my game, you explode into 20 particles which usually lags the game, especially if it's being played in a browser. I'm pretty sure that it's just because of the graphics,why it's causing so much lag? I've included the AS2 just encase.
Code:
//variables
fall = -8;
onEnterFrame = function () {[code]...
I've been working on a little particle generator that produces intractable particles. When you click your mouse, they will move in a straight line away from where you clicked. Seems simple enough, but I can't quite get the formula right.
I want to pass two points and a magnitude scalar value into a function and have it move the particle along the line drawn through the two points, and only as far as the magnitude specifics.
For example:Let's say the particle is at the point P(10,10) and the mouse clicks at the point Q(15,15). I pass both those points and the magnitude 10, into my function.
The function then calculates the angle the particle should travel (45 degrees or PI/4 radians) and sends the particle to the point O(20,20), again, as specified by a magnitude of 10.
Edit: By the way, I'm using ActionScript 3.0, but if possible I would prefer a universal explanation in case I decide to program this in another language, or I am without a programming language when I need to figure it out.
How can I rig up an if statement that will add particles to the stage based on the ENTER_FRAME update interval?
Code:
stage.frameRate = 60;
var currentParticles:uint = 0;
var maxParticles:uint = 1000;
var particlesPerSecond:uint = 100;
[Code]...
I run into the problem, where if I choose a bigger value for particlesPerSecond than the stage framerate, I don't add the correct number of particles.
I made a particle class following a tutorial a while ago. Basically it uses some sort of a virtual list, replacing the array method, which makes it really fast solution. So everything is working perfectly fine except the fact that i really can't understand what actually is going on. It is pretty confusing so im trying to find the logic in this stuff, unfortunately with no success.[code]

Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to make streaking particles. I understand the basics of particles, but I want to make a firework effect, one that leaves light trails or streaks behind for a moment before they fade away.
