I'm trying to figure out the best way to make the text in the upper right hand corner of my photos page linkable URL...Here's the action script that's in the action layer of the file for that spirt: function loadGallery(directory, images)[code]
View 1 RepliesI just got Flash CS4 yesterday. This is the first time I have ever used Flash. I watched some tutorials and now I'm trying to do something on my own. I want some text against a white background to start out white in the lower-left corner. During the animation I want the text to move to the upper-right corner and turn black gradually as it goes. What I did was this:
created an actionscript 3 file
Made some white text at the bottom-left
Right clicked at the 90th frame on the timeline and clickedInsert KeyFrame
Right clicked between the 1st and 90th frames and clicked Create Classic Tween.
At the 90th frame I moved the text to the upper right. Then I clicked on proprties and set the text effect to brightness and set the brightness to 0 so the text would be black.When I hit enter to go through the timeline it shows me exactly what I expected: The text moves from lower left to upper right and gets darker as it goes.
When I hit Ctrl+Enter to preview it as a published movie the text stays white the whole time until it gets to the upper right. There it turms black. So all I see is nothing for a few seconds and then a flash of the black text.Also, if I click at each frame in the timeline I can see the text is in a different place and getting brighter gradually.I'd like it to play once rather than looping. Under the effects I clicked on a thing that says play once but it still loops. Where do you control this?
I'm using a gallery maker called "flash slideshow maker professional" , but when it loads, the hole stage goes to the upper left corner!
View 3 RepliesI'm sure that many of you already saw things like this ( eg: when winning at FWA S.O.T.D., you get a little "logo" and many sites have it aligned in the upper left corner), so this is what i want to do, let us say i make a MovieClip ( dimensions doesn't matter, but it's quite small ), and i want to align it to the upper left corner of the stage... The thing is that the movie/stage is set to auto-scale, so whenever i scale the browser window then that MC should "refresh" its position and stai at the upper left corner again.
View 3 RepliesI cannot find any information anywhere on how to change my layout or even the ruler layout in Flash. The stage is stuck in the upper left-hand corner of the pasteboard. If I could get the zero point of the rulers to move (like to the right and down), then I could reposition the stage, but I can't. There is no edit ruler function. The zero points are right in the upper left-hand corner together.I can't see items which I need positioned to the left or above the stage at all. Does anyone know how to change the stage position on the pasteboard or ruler layout?

View 3 RepliesObviously you can do it with a string - toUpperCase() or toLowerCase() - but can you dynamically make a text field upper or lower case? I can't find anything online that has to do with text fields, only strings.
View 5 RepliesI inherited a flash project from someone and if I add a simple movie clip to the stage at position 0,0 it actually ends up in the middle of the screen!
What I can see is that when I open the stage in the library, in it's properties
X=350 and Y=262,05 all the subsequent movie clips which are added to the screen as by magic are added at position X=-350 and Y=-262.05
I would really like to return to a situation where 0,0 is top left corner. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
If the counter reaches 350 and I move my mouse down now it hops on over to 250. I just want it to start counting down. I.e. 349, 348, 347 and so on. What do I need to change?
//Function
function countUp(e:TimerEvent):void{
if (mouseY < 180)
{

EDIT: What do I need to write in AS3 to make a dynamic text field increase in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the upper half of the screen, and decrease in increments of 1 if the user hovers at the lower half of the screen?Purpose, it isn't a game.
What I have right now isn't actually doing any of those things, I've just been mucking about trying to get all the masks working and they finally are.
I've included the code to offer as much information as possible about my specific project. There is also a few more lines that changes the colour of the dial when the user rolls over the specific coloured bars. I can post that as well if it helps.
To clarify the scene, the arrow part of the dial tracks the user's mouse. Always pointing towards it. The bars, when rolled over changes the colour of said dial. The "73M" is static, as well is "POINTS" but the 380 value is dynamic. It is that string I need to affect.
If anything is unclear please feel free to ask, I've been at this all night so there is a chance I'm so into it that I can't see straight.

What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean? [Fig. 1]I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually. I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
View 7 RepliesI want to create a notification icon like the the red one in the bottom right-hand corner of Facebook. I tried using a ToolTipManager to create a tooltip but since Tooltips appear in their own layer in Flex and, as far as I am able to figure, cannot be anchored to any part of the page. When the user uses the browser's scrollbar, they move.

View 3 RepliesSo when you load a picture into a movie clip, it loads into the Top-Left hand corner.I really want it to load into the Top-Right hand corner. Is there a way?I am loading it via AS - not placing it manually, as I have a variety of images which are of different dimensions....
View 4 RepliesI've got a dynamic text box on a movie clip that I'm using as a button (for a slider). To be specific, it's a movie clip on the stage that has a MOUSE_DOWN event listener applied to it. There's a circle in the movie clip and a dynamic text box in the movie clip right in the middle of the circle
The text field is set to NOT be selectable, the font is embedded, buttonMode and useHandCursor are set to true. I get a hand cursor when my cursor hits the outside of the circle, but once it hits the text field in the middle, the hand cursor goes away. how I can make the hand cursor stick? I've considered replacing the dynamic text field with a movie clip that has a timeline full of numbers, but that would be giving up.
I am using a flash menu within a frames setup. What I want to happen is when they press the button in the flash menu within the bottom frame. the page is called into the upper frame and not its own window. Here is a sample of the code I am using

View 1 RepliesI've got a few text boxes address1, address2 etc which I've restricted using
address1.restrict = "A-Z 0-9";
All seems well if you input your address manually, but also there is an automatic feature on the web catalogue I'm working on, where you can enter your postcode and the relavent addresses will be generated in a scrollable list box. You can select an entry from this list box and click OK to confirm this is your address, which will then conveniently fill in all your address1, address2 etc input text fields.
But, when the addresses are generated in the list box they are not displayed in caps for example 92 Green Lane, Moston, Manchester. Like this... and so when you confirm your address each text box is filled in the same case, NOT in Uppercase like I've specified. Anyway to correct this once it passes the address variables into the text fields?
Is there a way to convert the display of the TextInput to upper case? Like this:
type h ===> displays H
type e ===> displays HE
type l ===> displays HEL
type l ===> displays HELL
type o ===> displays HELLO
I tried using the following, it traces but it doesn't display
Code:
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
// var myText = mainTXT.text;
myText.toUpperCase();
trace(myText.toUpperCase());
}
I'm working on an ezine, using the pageflip v2.11 from [url].... I can't get it to flip the covers unless they aren't hardcovers. It's killing me. All they do is show the shadow mask flipping, and not the page. I also have trouble with playing an mc, while it is located on the page. It reloads back to the beginning when you mouse over the corner of the page.

View 1 RepliesI have decided to build my own XML gallery. The flash loops through, checks how many images there are and duplicates a movie clip to match the amount of photos on that page. The duplicated mc's are given the names "hello"+z, but when trying to load the images they don't want to load (I have taken the code that loads the dynamic images out). When I trace "hello"+z, it gives me an undefined.
Here is the code:
//builds an array for the amount of XML nodes
function loadXML(loaded) {
vararPhoto =[]
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;

I need to create a full page flash file that overlays a webpage. Something like the example in this link.
I have figured out how to create the flash file which will overlay the page, with all elements centered, from here: kirupa forums tutorial.
The only thing I cannot figure out is how to attach the Close button which would come at the top right. AS3 is not allowing me to attach any behaviour to the button, neither does it allow me to put actionscript there. I am in dire straits.

I haven't used Flash in quite a while and wanted to make an animation to display quite a few photos. As i'm out of practice, linking videos kind of skipped my mind and therefore my first file which has lots of images in has become quite heavy and slow to run.My problem is... Is there a quick and easy way i can directly switch one part of an animation with another, keeping all the tweens and actions that are on it? (EG I want to switch out images for the same images saved as smaller files)
Or, is there a way i can scale down the movie in size to make it run smoother? I am going to have quite a lot of photos in a series of linked videos, but as i forgot about it, my first video has too much content and is too big in file size. It can be quite big as it's only for use on my mac (not online) but i still need it smaller as it won't run smoothly.
i want to know how i can make animation with photos using flash?
photos going up and going down, somethig like that.
I'm building a dynamic content page in flash that consists of using attachMovieClip and createEmptyMovieClip with coordinates to place photos and objects, which are loaded from an external source and scrolling their thumbnails I've run into a problem setting the variables correctly because the scrolling thumbnails required that the thumbnails be nested inside a scrolling controller clip and that has somehow messed up my preloading and sequential text caption loading for the tumbnails.
