I was sorting my symbols in my library moving them to folders and what not and then saved it, did some more drawing etc. Then tested movie and noticed that all my symbols are gone on my timeline, also noticed whenever there is a tween the symbol got deleted from that to. I was so pissed, I undo'd as far as I could go and it wasn't enough -_-
I have ALL my symbols in my library, just ALL of them got removed from my timeline... there is a lot of them.

View 2 RepliesI am fairly new to flash and I'm currently using CS4 to create shape tweens that morph from a shape (in my case an astroid, not to be confused with an asteroid) to text that I have broken apart into individual shapes. This works very well with the shape tweens; however, I would like to use symbols instead of shapes for my tween.
Naturally, I converted my shape and my broken apart text to symbols and then set up a motion tween. My research has told me that you cannot morph from one symbol to another using ANY tween, but this would not make sense to me.
Am I missing how to actually do this? If it is true that you cannot morph between symbols, then why on earth hasn't Adobe made a way to do this. If I need to substitute one shape for another in a flash video, and I have this shape in 100s of frames in the video, there is NO way to quickly find and replace those shapes, especially if you've duplicated the the several (20) times in each frame.
I deleted a project in flashbuilder and it seems to have deleted everything. how can i get this back?
View 1 RepliesWhen I want to ask for a small fee for my app, I'm not allowed to use TweenLite. So I started thinking I could probably replace the tweens with Flash's built-in Tweens. BUT I'm also using rotationY. Flash doesn't support this as far as I know. Are there Tween engines out there with a copyleft?
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a slide show which includes 3 sections that fade in and out automatically as well as can be navigated via buttons.Everything is working fine until I include a 3d tween animation of a hanging sign.it doesn't have any action script - just a 3d tween where the sign swings however once I include it in the slide show, the whole thing goes crazy:The fade in and out of tweens don't work.sometimes the slide show skips and everything start moving very fast as if the timeline was fast forwarded... can someone please helpe me and point me in the right direction of where to even start trouble shooting it? The problem is that it acts as if there was some kind of script added however there's no action script included in the hanging sign.

I'm trying to save some CPU resorces here but donno how.. my MC script is deleted before it can reach the current point.. what should I do?..

I am doing a small test with arrays. I have 5 purple movie clips, their instance names are: p1,p2,p3,p4,p5.
I have declared an empty array called purple. On press of each mc I want the particular mc to be added to the array, and on press again I want the particular mc to be deleted from the array.
However, this does not work, it seems to be deleting the lastly added mc name from the array no matter of which mc I unpress.
I am new with arrays, I am using pop and push. I will upload my file. Could someone have a look at it please? Is there another array command to add and delete the particular mc which is presses and unpressed, and not the one that was last added to the array?

MovieClip.prototype.moveIt = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
menu._x = Math.round(border._x - ((border._width/2) + 68))+5;
[code].....
what I have is:
- listener added with weak refference, therefore it shouldn't keep the GC away
- object set to null
- trace of the object m shows null
- debugger shows the value of m as null
But the "frame" trace still keeps on appearing, so where exactly is that object and how to check for it, how to delete it and kill it. I know that listeners keep objects in the memory, but then how to find them, and at the end of the day also used weakReference=true while assigning it, so that should take care of it. What exactly is going on here?
I created a empty folder on my desktop "Test" and then in the create a new project thing I linked it to the test folder, and then in the settings I clicked on delete project folder and it gave me two options and by mistake I selected the second one and then my worst nightmare, all my multimedia files which were on my desktop got deleted. I tried running 5-6 data recover softwares but none of them and I mean none of them found the files deleted by flash. All were showing me the files those were deleted by Shift+Delete, but that I dont want. How can I get those files which were deleted by flash cs5.

View 2 RepliesWe area trying to create a virtual world application. We are using hitTest to make the avatar enter the room. That hitTest event is inside an onEnterFrame event of the avatar so every time the avatar is on the stage it runs the function and detects if it hits the hot spot or not.
So onEnterFrame we have: (shortURL is a variable that points to the movieClip)
Code: Select allif(this.hitTest(shortURL.detectRoom1)){
attachDialogue(1, "room.swf");
}
[Code].....
The code works, however when the user clicks on no, the dialogueBox still appears since the avatar still hits the room's hotspot. If I remove the commented "delete attachDialogue" clicking the no button will remove the dialogueBox movieclip without any problems. However when the avatar walks on other hotspots it doesn't call the function again.
Are there other ways how we can remove the movieclip and set the attachCounter to 0 when the no button is clicked? Or how can we reuse a deleted function?
If I delete the "onEnterFrame" with this code:
myClip.onEnterFrame=function(){
____if (this._x<300) this._x+=5;
____else delete this.onEnterFrame;
____// to erase it, but you can simply empty it
____// else this.onEnterFrame=null;
}
How can I turn it on again?

in my main I have a system that allowed certain classes to be loaded and unloaded. When I load Game.as, it contains a trace statement when you press the left arrow key. When I remove the game instance from the stage, and set it to null, I can still press left arrow key, and the trace will come up. If I then make a new instance of game, it traces twice with only 1 click. When I close/load another time it traces three times.
I very specifically set:
Code:
mainContent.removeChild(game);
game = null;
Even trace statements confirmed that the game was being nullified, and the trace still continued.
I want to draw lines to make a region so that anything inside that region is deleted. The Case : You could say that there are many movieclips in stage but when I just selected by drawing circle or something even complex shape to it purposely then anything inside that shape is just gone.
View 3 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 1 RepliesI have this little crumby thing I'm working on. And in it, I draw a circle with a radial gradient fill. Then I add that circle to the array: "colourSplodeArray"

I created an input text box, and depending on what the user enters, it will create a file with that same name. However, for some reason, it's deleting the last character of the filename when it creates the file. For example, if you type "House" in the input text box, then the file that it will create will say "Hous.txt"What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
View 7 RepliesI was working on a large web site in Flash CS 5.5 on my hard drive Mac Pro V10.6.8, 6GB of memory. 176.78 GB of space left on the drive. I had set up the project in the Flash projects panel. I was opening files with"File open" and working on them. I have my fla files in a src folder and my classes in a com folder. This was the setup of my com folder.
I was working in Flash and it crashed, when it started up again. It didn't offer me a temp file and all the files in the com folder have been deleted except for the greensock folder. But even the greensock folder was missing files.
I went to the recent files when I click a file name I got this error. I have searched my hard drive by name for the files and can't find them. They are not in the Trash. I have talked to three different Adobe tech support people in India they all tell me the files can't be recovered and they don't know why it has happened and don't even seem to care that their program has deleted hours of work. I am waiting on yet another tech support person to call me back. Does anyone know why this has happened? I have been working in Flash for 11 years and never had it delete 186 files when it has crashed.

I have a code like this:
<mx:Repeater id="allItemRepeator"
dataProvider="{_model.allItems}"
>
<components:ComponentSelector id="componentSelector"
[Code]....
When code changes for allItems the item disapears from screen as expected but still sits in memory! I know this by a function inside a compoenent that has "trace" so the trace output still displays even after the component disappears from screen. How do I ensure that the element is deleted when it's reference is deleted? Will using List-based component to display items instead of "Repeator" solve the problem (it requires significant refactoring of my code so I'm asking before trying it out)
I was just putting the finishing touches on a flex project that loads files from a second project.
In attempting to delete a second project, I somehow deleted the project I needed. I confirmed that I wanted to delete the files. I have a backup but it is a couple weeks old now. I feel like throwing up.
I have a designed a Flash based interface to send email via PHP.
I capture the variables in Flash using:
var my_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
my_lv.name=name_txt.text;
my_lv.message=message_txt.text;
[Code].....
Everything is working fine, but when the message is received all line breaks entered in Flash message are deleted making the message one long line. Is there something I need to write into my actionscript/php to allow the message to display properly?
I've been working on something of late that will display text the first time the user views it, and the second time, say something different. I've accomplished this using haredObjects. However, it seems that the information (the shared object) isn't removed when the user leaves of closes the browser. I there a workaround for this?
