Actionscript 2.0 :: Using An Array To Give MC's A Picture From XML
Apr 17, 2009
I'm trying to use XML to put external pictures into a MovieClip. (BTW, all movieclips already exist on stage, given the name instanceName#, where #=something from 0-49)
The first chunk of code here is what I'm working on. There's a section surrounded by slashes, and that's my problem area. what I should put in the parens after "new Array"? (right now it's numOfItems, but I'm pretty sure that won't do anything.)
I need the array to generate the instance names of "a number" of movieclips, so that if I have 3 nodes in the XML it'll generate (instanceName0, instanceName1, instanceName2... etc) and if I have 4, it'll make 0-3, so on.
I am trying to build a site that would give users the ability to upload a picture to a picture frame on my site. I would like AS3 to dynamically re-size, and upload the file from an upload bar under the frame.
If I m using 08 and 09 in the array then its giving an error but no such error with other numbers not even with 8 and 9.just here is an example to make easy to under stand my problem .
var my_array= new Array(); my_array[08]="amrita" trace(my_array[08])
I want to make a picture gallery and use buttons that move you from picture to picture and backwards, but I don't want to tell button 1 to go to frame 2 and button 2 to got to frame 3 and so on (I hope you know what I mean)Can I use on button on a separate layer with the same action set? I tried something like that, but it didn't work:
on (release) { thisframe =+1 } [code]........
but it didn't work. I'm kind of new to any action script other than gotAndPlay, easy functions and all that.
I would like my picture to fade in, how do I do it? I load my image like this: var imageFolder:String = "main_pictures/"; var imageArray:Array = [imageFolder + "picture.png"]; //Container var imagecontainer:Sprite = new Sprite(); //Loop through the image array and load: [Code] .....
I recently used the loadMovie action to load a .swf file to a target in the movie which it was being called from. Then I tried calling a picture to another target in the movie, but it did not load the picture as intended. I read about it on my book, but it didn't seem to work. Is there anyways on calling a picture into a target in the movie without placing the picture inside an swf file?
I have just been to a really nice website that has some really nice use of Flash on it.... I'm totally wowed by the resizing picture effect though? When each picture loads the loading frame resizes to the new picture size.

i got five images, and five buttons, every image has a color, and lets say we start at the red one. When i click the the green button i want the green image to fade in.. i fugured out a way to do this on the timeline, but then i have to have a black box first fading in to remove the old picture and then start fading in the new picture..
I made a simple picture slideshow with a timer, prev/next buttons, pause/play buttons and jump buttons. Everything went good so far.Now i'm trying make every picture go to a URL when the picture is clicked but only the link on the first frame goes to the URL when clicked the other 5 buttons do nothing when click.(FYI: I made alpha 0% buttons in a layer above pictures)I tried two different codes but both have no effect.
as layer
Code: stop(); var nextImage:Timer = new Timer(3000); nextImage.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,playNext); nextImage.start();
is some thing like i have a menu as the background, then if i click the picture, another menu rollover the background picture covering ard 40% of the background.any1 can lead the road for me >< me jus start learning AS3 ><
I'm using UILoader companent and I'm trying to load another swf in my current swf.Can I give data from main swf to loaded swf or get data from main swf by loaded swf.
I have xml values already and I am trying to add a xml value to it myxml.value[i].@myset = "02"but when I try to add it with the code below it won't work properly and I was trying to figure out if the code is right for checking and adding xml if the xml does not exist.[code]
I got a MovieClip which will be a moving platform for a game. And I want to be able to just copy it and place in different places on my game map. But I would also like to give them different values such as, speed, distance to travel, and so on. In As2 I would put all code i needed for the moving platform to work, inside the MoviClip in it's first frame except for the variables, speed and distance which I would put on the MovieClip instead. In a "onClipEvent(load)". Then I could just copy my MovieClip and change those variables. But this do not work in As3 and I wounder if someone knows a good way to do this
I'm builiding a swf that will play on an html web page. It's a "build" where the page starts as blank and the animation "wipes" on in sections. The web page has a gradient background, and the swf will have a soft drop shadow.Is there a way to give the swf a transparent background so we don't have to try to "match" the gradient it will appear on top of.If this isn't clear I can post the swf or fla file.Also, on this subject, what are the "Window" settings in the html publish settings? The options are Window, Transparent Windowless or Opaque Windowless.I've tried these in the past and they don't seem to have any affect at all.
I have 100+ of the same movieclips on the stage at the same time, all positioned differently.i'm getting really tired of clicking on one of them, then clicking in the instance name box then typing "i65", then clicking on one of them, then clicking in the instance name box then typing "i66"...
is there anyway flash can fill this information in for you? or a plugin anyone's heard of? this isn't really an actionscript question, I'm not so fussed about selecting the different movieclips based on getChildAt or any of that stuff, I'd just really like a faster way of assigning instance names.
I have a few long pieces of music (10 minutes plus) and was wondering if there is any actionscript 2.0 command I can give to basically say either after X.mp3 ends do Y timeline control or even if there is a way to enter in a time so after X minutes do Y timeline control.

I have an MC (button1). When it is pressed, it creates a duplicate, which is automatically being dragged. When released, the movie clip stops dragging. I can repeat this process with the original a number of times. However, I want to be able to click and drag the MC's AFTER they've been duplicated. Once I have this code, then I can add other functions myself (like hitTests, removeMovieClip and so on).
I'm parsing XML file and draw some objects. Each object has it's own class which name is stored in another XML. I also have some .as files with those classes, f.ex[code]...
I'm not shure how to do this. Is it possible to give dynamic names to the types like, khm obj:{classname}=new {classname}?
I want to convert text to audio and I was told that there is a way to assign a sound to every letter and then I would just have to concatenate the sounds to form words
I am currently building a site with AS3 and have run into a small problem. I Have my Main swf which is the site. Inside that I have a "gallery" which is full of buttons. I have it set up so when you click a button to view a image it loads a separate smaller swf on top of the main swf. What I would like to do is be able to have the smaller swf open in the middle of the main swf and be able to drag it around. How would I go about controlling a swf inside a swf?
all this pages are in one movieclip called PAG with appropriate names to moviclip and frames. I am having problem with Home page i hv some icons which shld take user to links. but its not working . and same link works fine with training page.
i have found a code whose purpose is to make an object to follow the mouse arrow. It works perfect, but i would like to add a kind of acceleration to it. That means the closer the object is to the mouse arrow, the faster it moves.
