View 38 RepliesI have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
what i want to do is, when certain button is clicked, replace a certain symbol(button) by another symbol(movieclip) stored in the library. i try things like loadmovie("","") to replace the symbol from a external jpg, but some how it does not align even both images are exact dimension. can i replace an image straight from the library?

View 2 RepliesBasically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.
View 2 RepliesI'm, trying to create a duplicate symbol and then be able to drag the symbol around the screen.I have an image - once converted to a button and on the stage as paddock_btn. The other converted to paddock_mc in the library, with a linkage identifier of "paddock".I want to be able to click the button, and create a duplicate, which can be dragged and placed on the screen.Unfortunately, I don't get any output errors here.
Code:
//create a function to duplicate paddock
function dupe_paddock():Void {
i = i + 1;

I have a scrollout menu for my flash movie, but each of the buttons have to be movies symbols. I try to attach:
on (release) {
gotoand stop(4)
}
But I get the error that this script only works for buttons. Anyone able to lend some assist? I suck at actionscript.
So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like
on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

I am following this tutorial, [URL] and everything works until i actually try to place a graphic symbol into another symbol. I am trying to make a character walk across the stage. Flash tells me I cannot place a symbol within itself. Why not and how can i!!
View 1 RepliesI'm making something for my site where you can design your own character. I am trying to set it so when you select a hair style, it'll change the hair style on the person(I already know how to change the color and stuff). How do I do that?? I thought I could do it so it would switch the movie clip with the design of the button you press to get it to change the hair
View 11 RepliesLibrary symbol "Card" is linked to class "Card" which extends "MovieClip". Library symbol "Card" contains a card background image.Library symbol "Ace" is linked to class "Ace", which extends class "Card". Library symbol "Ace" contains a TextField with a big letter "A".So we have Ace extends Card which extends MovieClip. Ace therefore extends MovieClip, but does not DIRECTLY extend MovieClip.When I drop an instance of Ace on the stage and compile the clip, all that shows up is the big letter A. However, I expected the background image from Card to be included, since Ace extends Card, and the Card symbol contains the background.It seems like Flash ignores symbol content unless it belongs to the top-level class being instantiated.I think it's LAME that one symbol can't extend another. The IDE could easily draw Card as a non-editable background while I'm editing Ace which extends it, and it should instantiate Card's content and then Ace's content when an Ace is instantiated.

View 3 RepliesThe carousel itself is OK, everything works, including the click the icon to read the description.The only problem is that I need to have a hyperlink in one of the descriptions. I know how to hyperlink in HTML, and tried that in XML, but it didn't work. I also tried XSL or something to link but that just screwed up the SWF file itself. Here is my XML code.[code]....

View 5 RepliesI need to add a hyperlink to and advanced data grid. I would usually would us a renderer to do this, but in this case the columns i need to have hyperlinked will not have values in it until a "calculate button" is clicked. It's when I click the calculate button that the values to display in the hyperlink are created. So, what AS3 code could I add in the button.click handler to add hyperlinks.
View 0 RepliesFinally made some dropdown menus for my basic flash website, but now I don't know how to actionscript the symbol (the dropdown menu) within the symbol, which is my page.

View 3 RepliesI want to add a hyperlink link button to my site, but it keeps buggering up the flow.Here's is the code for my site so far (minus the link code):
stop();function trans(event:MouseEvent):void{ gotoAndPlay(event.target.name);
}
[code]............
So there are three menu buttons, and the page flys in animations depending on the button pushed.I have another button named LINK, and I thought it would just be a matter of inserting the following code somewhere:
LINK.onRelease=function(){ getURL("http:url....); }
But no matter where I put it, it just makes my site play through all the animations one after the other regardless of whether buttons have been clicked or not, and the link won't work.Where should I put this code and is it correct? Also, once it's working, I want to copy it and make another button for creating an email.Is that just a matter of having a mailto: link instead of a hyperlink?
Does anyone know how to create a hyperlink on an swf file? i think it can be done using actionscript during the creation of the fla, but i want to see if it can be hyperlinked AFTER creation, just using the website code.

View 3 RepliesI have a movie that, at the end, has an image that can be clicked to go to a site. I need to change the URL and have no idea where to proceed. So far, I have found the object in the library and it's called a "sprite" and has something in the "linkage" field next to it. I've right clicked on it and tried both the Edit and Properties options and can't find what I am looking for anywhere.

I want to make a flash movie which will load image and its hyperlink dynamically from external source. I know this is very common over the internet and as per some of the tutor I've done loading the image part but not able to sort out how to hyperlink that Below is the code
Code:
myData = new LoadVars()
myData.load("anastasio.txt")
myData.onLoad = function(succes)
{
[code]....
The text file "anastasio.txt" just have this line "image=photo.jpg". "holder_mc" is a blank movie clip. The image is loading properly but I dont know how to hyperlink that!! Can any one let me know how to do that dynamically.
Also, this is a very simple way of loading the image from text file but in real this will come from DB. The Admin will insert the image name and the url in DB and uploads the image to a specific folder from where the flash will load that image. I'm thinking what could be a better way from below to do the above stated task:
1) On insertion into DB, I need to create an XML file from DB fetching the image name and url and writing them to XML file. And every time the flash will load these from XML file instead of connecting to DB server.
2) No XML file. The flash will communicate with a PhP page which will fetch the records from DB and give it to flash for loading
I know both the ways for loading data into flash i.e. from XML or DB. I just wanted to know which could be the best!! In my opinion, XML file would be a better option since no DB connectivity every time on website but there will be only one record at a time which will get changed once in every month which is preventing me from creating XML file for just 1 record!!!
Because I have altered the images in a slideshow using flash derived from a website and its working properly but I can't remove the hyperlink from that swf file. I'm not good at flash action script. The php code to embed in the page is: <?php
