I am trying to add a photo to a Flash file that we had created for us:
[URL]
I am kind of sort of new at Flash. I can edit these files but I can't figure out how to add a new photo. At first I tried to add in a new layer and copy the frames from the previous layer but Flash won't let me do that. [URL]
I can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesLets say i use the code below to add the player movieclip into the gamelevel instance.
gamelevel.addChild(player);
When the player movieclip is added it is 'on top' or infront of the gamelevel instance.
Now i know you can simply move a particular instance back to the front with the addChild() function. However since i am adding Player1 into the gamelevel instance, this does simply nothing.
How can i add the player into a particular layer in the gamelelve instance?
Say I have a flash project, with 3 layers (a, b, c). Layer C is the background, and A has a couple of shapes that masks B. Now I'm just wondering if there's a way to add my objects (MovieClips) to the stage using AS3 and still maintain the masks coming from A, seeing as merely putting my code in Layer B doesn't do the trick
View 3 RepliesI have an movieclip on stage, and its' instance name is called "mc_mask".In my actionscript, I will create a bitmap that will be added to stage with addChild(). How do I add the bitmap behide the mc_mask?

View 1 RepliesI am playing with the xml photo gallery tutorial and wanted to add the ability for users to click on a particular image and have it go to its own url.
This is what I have done so far:
in images.xml I have added a <link> child on the same node or level as <image> and <caption>
images.xml i.e.
Code:
<images>
<pic>
<image>image1.jpg</image>
[Code]....
It obviously does not work (the rest of the gallery does though) I created a dynamic movie clip and labeled it "link" and placed it on the stage as a bg element however I am pretty sure this is the wrong way to hyperlink the images and description.
I have a very nice picture gallery made in CS3 / AS3. I managed to personalize it and all. But, I have difficulty with (or no clue... actually), how to add a precious and next button to it(image).
This is the link for the zip file, containing all the neccesary files: [URL]
And in the attachment I pointed out where I prefer to have these two buttons.
I'm dynamically creating MC with help of an Array to store instance,in order to build something like a stack of photo.In my loop, I'm adding listerners so that I'll be able to click on each photo
Code:
for(var ix:Number=0 ; ix<my_total; ix++)
{
mySlidesArray[ix].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);[vcode
].....
My problem is caused by the Mouse_Down, even if only photo is visible on top of all the other one, clicking on it seems to make the listeners of the photos below reacting...Is it possible ? do listeners can't be on top of each other and only detecting if nothing is on top of them?
I have made a photogallery in actionscript 3 which uses an .XML file to import pictures. As the user clicks on the displayed image the code loads the next image in the cycle into the display. Now, I would like to add a preloader which displays the loading progress of each image as the user clicks (otherwise there is just a blank area as the image loads). I have made a pre-loader for the main .SWF but I can't figure out how to make it work for the images or how to make a seperate one for the images. The fact is that I am a bit of a muppet when it comes to AS3, and am finding myself getting lost an confused quite easily.
I have attatched the .FLA if that helps any! If not then...
here is the link to the .HTML page that contains the .swf:

I've got a photo gallery that I'm working on it loads its content from an xml file... I would like to be able to display and play flv videos as well but I'm unsure what changes I will have to make. If I only change the xml I get the error " Loaded file is an unknown type."
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Loader;

I was wondering how I could add sound to a gallery that is driven by xml.I have a gallery that loads the picture, Title and description. the gallery is downloadable here.The regular gallery loads a web page when the picture is clicked. I am trying to make each picture load a different mp3.I have the general Idea of how it would be done but I don't know how put it to actionscript.I figured you would basically create a sound object that loads the specific mp3 from the xml file when the picture is clicked from the gallery.I think I might have some what of the idea right but I get an error everytime I load the swf file.
"ArgumentError: Error #2068: Invalid sound.
at flash.media::Sound/play()
at MethodInfo-6()"

I have been tasked with adding rising steam to a photo of a bowl of soup. The easy answer would be to do this using timeline animation, but it's kind of a slow day, so I am trying to challenge myself and create it using only AS. My assumption is that I could use something similar to the code below, but I'd like for the steam to grow larger, fade out, and also act a bit more random as it rises.

I have been using the tutorial on the Photo Slideshow Using XML and Flash, and think it is fantastic. It is really clear and easy to follow. However I have encoutered three things with it. Firstly I would love to be able to add a border around each thumbnail accross the bottom, that would change color when the user rolls over the thumbnail.I would also like to be able to highlight which thumbnail is currently being shown as the top image.The third issue I have had is when a user moves the mouse to the right of the first image, it scrolls about 5 pixels to the right even though there is no other image before it.
View 1 RepliesI was trying to use the photo gallery tutorial from this site the code was done by sbeener I wanted to use the same concept for adding external text for each image. So far I have only been able to figure out how to load the text but I have not figured out how to be able to change the text to correspond to the image.

add the pause/play button along with a previous & next button (those got messed up when I added to slideshow) for the Kirupa photo slideshow...
View 1 RepliesIm having trouble getting my head around writing script for looping certain layers of a fla file.I have a project that I urgently need to finish and can't figure out how to achieve what I need.I have an fla file that has several animated layers.I want layer 1 to play once and stop while continuing to be visible (which I have achieved).I then need to play layer 2, layer 3 and layer 4, and loop these layers continuosly without relooping layer 1.

View 6 RepliesI need a simple way to load an external image referenced in an XML file, into a layer (named "avatar") in my flash project..
By default I want it to load this image as soon as the flash widget is opened.
I'm new to AS3 and am trying to figure out the code for loading a .swf file on the same layer of the same page, thereby replacing all of the information. I don't want to put it on layer 2, etc. Another easy thing I can do in AS2 but am struggling with in AS3.
View 2 RepliesI am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select 3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.
The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"
So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)
Is it possible to create multiple layer masks over a single layer using Actionscript3?Below is the flash effect I wanted to create with masks.First it starts from A and goes to B and C simultaneously.Then from B it goes to H and D simultaneously (the same applies to C).This is how the end result will look like.ps. I need my background to be transparent. I'm embedding it into a web page later.
View 2 RepliesIs it possible to load a .swf into an empty mc that is dynamically created, behind a layer on my main flash file?
I want the loaded .swf to load behind the interface buttons on my main flash file? Is that possible or do I need to put the interface buttons on a separate .swf and load that .swf in?
im a cs5 noob and i have been working on a platform game. I recently created my first main player animation. My question is how would i import that animation to my game?Can i compress the animation to only use 1 layer at all? right now my original is using about 6 layers for 40 frames. How can i take my 6 layer animation .flv file and incorporate it into my game? also, how would i call the animation in as3?[code]

I want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?
View 3 RepliesI have a container MovieClip called Drags where I can drag stamps (other MovieClips)--they are added to the Drags container via addChild. I have a second container MovieClip above that one (display order-wise) call Paint that contains a bmp, and some sprites used for adding a layer of paint.
My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.
im trying to make a website based on flash.and im trying to link flash to XML.And here is my problem.I have a layer called "Pages", and im working in one of the pages.I made a timeline, which also had few more pages (5 to be exact).I want to load 1 linked image (as in you click on the image and then load something) on each of the 5 layer based on XML File, and when its clicked it loads on a new page in the "MAIN" site. If thats possible. How would I make that happen?
