I have 4 objects in the library. I use a switch case statement to randomly generate them to the stage;[code]When the user clicks "taskMC", I want to assign behaviors according to which object. If I trace "taskMC" I get the name (object A_Graphic, object B_Graphic etc.)but I can't assign actions to them that way. How do I get object A_Graphic to do one thing, object B_Graphic another thing...?
View 2 RepliesI am using Flash5 to build a site. I have a main page with navigation bar to get around. The word "menu" is sitting on the right of the stage which contains the actions:
on(press) {
gotoandplay("expand")
}
which opens the nav bar on the bottom of screen. This works fine. However, the text was blurry on my site, so I switched the text from static to dynamic text, which solved the blurriness problem.
BUT, after switching the text, I discovered my "menu' button is not behaving as before.
Can one assign actions to dynamic text? If not, what do I do to still have legible text? Again, the menu bar and other links were working fine, but when switched to dynamic text, none of the navigation works.
Is there a way to assign actions to a instance before its on screen. Like to give you an example I have a box symbol instance named "box_mc" and I would like to place the actions on the first frame of the movie and have the box show up on on like the third frame of the movie. This is all done with AS3 by the way.
PHP Code:
box_mc.alpha = 0.50;
The action script is really just to visually know that the box is getting the info passed along to it. But I keep getting this error message when I publish my movie:
Quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at remote_as_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Now as error messages go that one is pretty straight forward. Looking for box_mc and I can't find it.
Now the simple answer it if you want the box to show up on frame 3 then place the actionscript on frame 3 and it will work.
But this isn't really about getting the box at 50% alpha its more about know how to assign actions to elements that aren't on the screen yet.
Is there a way to do that like place all your actions on frame one and then assign them remotely to the instances thought out the movie from there?

View 3 RepliesI applied the following action script to a button in a flash movie, the action script reads(address changed to protect the innocent):
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.webaddress.com/Product/Video.html", "_blank");
}

assign an a:hover to a specific class in AS3, such as:
.className.a:hover { }
Flash seems to ignore this.
I have this timer code on the first frame of the movie.[code]And I want it to perform this timer until I press a button on the main stage.I found some information about clearing the actions from a movie clip but I didn't see much about clearing it from a frame.
View 2 RepliesI want to assign date to Date field that is in DD-MM-YYYY format. That is I receive String Closure_Date which contains date in DD-MM-YYYY format.
I want to assign that date to Date field like:
dtCloseDate.selectedDate=new Date(Closure_Date);
In this case If Closure_Date contains 16/11/2011 it takes 16 as month so it takes 12 and adds remaining 4 months and it returns 04/11/2012.
My question is how to assign date(DD-MM-YYYY) to DateField?
If I use Dateformatter(DD-MM-YYYY) like
dtCloseDate.selectedDate=new Date(Dateformatter.format(Closure_Date));
It Returns NaN

Say I have MC1 and MC2 both on the root timeline, I want to be able to click on MC1 to make MC2 go to either frame 2 or 3 at random.What actions and instances would I apply to make this happen?
View 2 RepliesIn my game, the user clicks on and shoots targets that randomly appear. Well, that part is solid. However, I want the targets to do a little animation before they appear (it's pretty simple):1. Look left, then right (all I really want to do is flip the target horizontally one way, then the other - it's deliberately that amateur)2. After the target 'looks' left and right, I want it to disappear by ducking off the bottom of the stage.3. At this point, it proceeds to randomly appear.So, any great ideas on how to integrate this into my random appearance code, or do I have to start messing with motion tweens and manual animation (bleh)?
View 1 Repliesbasically on the stage I have my Menu movieclip which is linked to an actionscript class called Menu. Within this I have another movieclip, not linked to actionscript, just a plain old movieclip.
This movie in question is a dialog box, and contains an animation for it popping up, and then going away again. I'm trying to put actions on specific frames to make it stop when it reaches the middle of the animation, then when "ok" is pressed the animation will resume and it disappears again. However the actions on the frames don't seem to be getting executed. I tried putting "this.stop();" on the middle frame, and have since put "trace("hello?");" on all kinds of frames but it doesnt seem that the actionscript is getting called at all.
This is something for work so I don't really want to start sending the .fla file around, but instead is there anything I should know about things which could cause the frame actions to not be executed?
I want to have a background that has random movie clips playing. Originally I was going to have long timelines with blank frames. Is there a simple a frame action that I can use that stops the playhead and makes it wait for certain amount of time and then plays?
View 6 RepliesI know that you can do for example onClipEvent(enterFrame) as an action for an exisiting movie clip.How do i dynamically do thisI load the movie:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("myMovieClip", 101);
myMovieClip._x=50;
myMovieClip._y=50;

basically I want my engine to display one out of three objects at random. I thought I had figured it out but apparently not. A familiar error message appears, "A term is undefined and has no properties". I'm sure it refers to the object I'm trying to spawn, however it rejects every object I refer to. Is my approach reasonable or should I scarp what I've got?
Code:
var spawnObject:Array = new Array("Object1", "Object2", "Object3");
var randomNumber:Number = Math.round(Math.random() * (spawnObject.length - 1));
if(spawnObject[randomNumber] == "Object1")

how to group objects together so that you can change their parimeters all at once. Like if I have a 7 boxes on screen with the instance name box1, box2, ect..... and i wanted to do change them via action script, like make them all partailly invisible when an event happens. How would I do that. I've tried stuff like
box = ["_root.red", "_root.blue"];
box._rotation = 40;
and
box = [_root.red, _root.blue];

how to control dynamically created clips... What I've got is a series of objects on the stage, that have been created using an external xml file. here's the code for this...
Code: Select allfor each (var MenuItem:XML in myXML..MenuItem) {
code for setting the clips on the stage, positioning them, etc, } But what that doesn't do is give each clip an individual instance name, so I've no way of controlling them on the stage? I presume I need to create a variable and then loop through the MenuItem xml assigning a unique instance as it goes through it?
want to simplify coding and wondered if there was a way to write a script that could be used on multiple objects without having to write it to address each object individually. I am building a simple menu where I want the menu link to rise and scale up when the button for it is rolled over and then return to its original position when the mouse rolls off. I know I can write this per button and per item, but wanted to see if there was a way to write it once and then apply the action to everything. EX. My menu consists of 5 items (and respective buttons) home_mc (home_btn), menu_mc, dining_mc, contact_mc, specials_mc.If I write the code
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, homeOver);
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, homeOff);
function homeOver(MouseEvent) {

2 objects come onto the stage from the right. The user is directed to choose the bigger objects. If he selects the correct one it lights up green and then slides off. If he selects the wrong one it lights up red on and off and then the user selects the correct one, which lights up green and they slide off as the next objects slide on.I created all of the objects in 3Ds Max and I figured I would load them via XML and assign a true and false the the respective one. But should I go about it this way? And if so, I have the concept of what to do as I mentioned above but I am not sure where to begin to execute it... Also, for more info, I am doing this all with programming and not putting actual objects in flash because this is a part of a much bigger structure.So, my question is: Should I go about it as I mentioned above and if so do you know how - you could even tell me what to google to find the info I need in order to do it.

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project.

I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

I am creating a dynamic group of buttons based on a string that i pass to flash file. There is no problem creating these buttons (that I do duplicating a movieclip from my library) The question is, that i need these buttons to open another page, all buttons the same, but passing a parameter. How can i assign the action to my buttons?
My frame 1 code is at this moment:
for (i=0; i<totalItems; i++) {
_root.attachMovie('loader', 'imageLoader'+i, getNextHighestDepth());
_root['imageLoader'+i]._x = 132*(i);
_root['imageLoader'+i]._y = 1;
_root['imageLoader'+i].imageLoader.loadMovie(_root['img'+i]);
}
The string that flash receives is something like
totalItems=3&img0=pic01.jpg&id0=01&img1=pic02.jpg& id1=02
and the parameter i want to pass to the new page is the value of 'id'.
