In total I need 166 replications of this image, is there any actionscript I can use to do this without having to create a key frame for every separate image?

View 3 RepliesI'm designing a flash site with a Dynamic Gallery (loading images from a XML file). what can I do to reduce load time at the beginning, or limit loading times to individual images?
View 3 RepliesI've searched the threads to find something that may help but as i'm not too good with AS i'm not sure what Is relevant to what I need. So i'm hoping someone can put it simply for me.
I have a pattern in the background of each page on my website which sits on the Index page. When each new page is loaded, on release of the relevant button, the background pattern should change colour. I have 9 pages to load therefore it changes colour 9 times.
What sort of code should I use? I'm not familiar with changing colours in AS!
I've got a simple flash-based .exe that I'd like to load and play a move between a certain time of day. For example, the loaded movie should play everyday between noon-1pm and 2am-3am. The movie should then unload and go back to the original movie at the end of each time period. How and the world do I write the script for this?
View 2 RepliesI want all my libray object that are classes to load on frame 2 except for one which is the preloader class I want this to load on frame one.
I can go into my publish setting and set frame two for all the classes to load, but then my preloader class isn't available until frame two.
can I write a line of code that will make the preloader class available on frame one instead?
I am trying to create an interactive 3D canvas, e.g. it loads up the person image and loads it into several - pre warped- movieclips... trouble is when I run this:
ActionScript Code:
function imageLoaded2(e:Event):void
{
canvas_wrap_mc.canvasF_mc.addChild(imageLoader2);
[Code]....
It only executes the last one instead of them all, when I remove the last one (canvas_white_mc)... it goes to the next last one canvas_black_mc...
I'm obviously doing something wrong, and everything about addChild and loading external images for me is a bit loose weave!
Is there an actionscript to play a movieclip at random times? This is when it reached the end frame of the timeline.

View 6 Repliesthe aim of this script is to make a slide show, loading images form an external file (called: images) they fade in, then fade out, then load the next swf in the Next Level.My Question is that I cannot manage to set different times when the image load to stay in the screen (1, 2, 3 sec (1000, 2000, 3000 miliseconds) and then to fade.They Need to fade in, stay 1,2 or three seconds, and then fade out... but its not working, I used the SetIntervalID but nothing after loading the 1.swf this will call a 2.swf with a different time of the image to remain, lets say 5 sec, and then this swf will call the 3.swf and remain 8 sec??[code]

View 2 RepliesRecently I've been planning out how I would run a game with an environment/map that is capable of unlimited dimensions (unlimited being a loose terms as there's obviously limitations on how much data can be stored in memory, etc). I've achieved this using a "grid" that contains level data stored as a String that can be converted to a 2D Array that would represent objects and their properties.Here's an example of two objects stored as a String:
"game.doodads.Tree#200#10#terrain$game.mobiles.Player#400#400#mobiles"
The "grid" is a 3D Array, of which the contents would represent the x/y coordinate of the grid cell. The grid cells would be, say, 600x600.An example of this "grid" Array would be as follows:
var grid:Array = [[["leveldata: 0,0"],["leveldata 0,1"]],
[["leveldata: 1,0"],["leveldata 1,1"]]];
The environment will handle loading a grid square and it's 8 surrounding squares based on a given point. ie the position of the Player. It would have a function along the lines of
function loadCells(xp:int, yp:int):void
This would also handle the unloading of the previously loaded cells that are no longer close enough to be required. In the unload process, the data at grid[x][y] would be overwritten with the new data, which is created by looping through the objects in that cell and appending each new set of data to the grid cell data.works fine in terms of when you move in a direction, cells are unloaded/saved and new cells are loaded. The problem is this:
Say this is a large city infested by zombies. If you walk three grid squares in any direction and return, everything is as you left it. I'm struggling to find a way to at least simulate all objects still moving around and doing their thing. It looks silly when you for example throw a grenade, walk away, return and the grenade still hasn't detonated.
I've considered storing a timestamp on each object when I unload the level, and when it's initialized there's a loop that runs it's "step" function amount of times. Problem here is obviously that when you come back 5 minutes later, 20 zombies are going to try and step 248932489 times and the game will crash.
I'm loading in an unlimited number of images through XML. I've got it so that it creates an MC for each image and adds each image to it. I need to position them into 2 coloumns and an unlimited number of rows.. so like :
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8 .. etc
You'll see from my AS below i've got the code to position them along side each other, i just need the MCs to move down a row every 2..[code]My maths brain is about to explode so could anyone enlighten me as to the best way to do this?
I want to know how to build an unlimited levels xml menu. I know how to built a normal one.

As a personal project, I'm working on a language-learning flash game.I'm looking at the information I'll need to store in various XML documents.I'm implementing a 'history' feature whereby, for any given word in the database, for any given user, a comprehensive history of data is stored. With this data, I can generate all sorts of fancy graphs to track any given user's progress.For example:You have been asked the word 'cat' 10 times. From data stored in the XML document, the game generates a graph of the time it took to answer each of those 10 times. (So in a perfect world, you see a nice downward curve. Congrats.)My question is how to organise the XML document (if that's the way to go with this) so that it is as efficient as possible.Right now, I can only see the brute force approach: have a limited number of predefined history states (say 99), and write data to these each time 'cat' comes up. Once they're full, overwrite.
Code:
<user#>
<word#321>

I'm trying to do the following to a flash banner, I'd like to know if it's possible and how I would code it/do it.
1. Unlimited amount of slide support. The banner must look for 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg... etc. Let's say the current slidshow has 4 photos, they want to be able to just upload another image and create a new .as file to make it appear in the flash slideshow.
2. each link must be in its own independent script. For example 01link.as, 02link.as, 03link.as etc.
so much entries here about full screen flash, but i coultnt find what i wanna know. i read the tutorial about the full screen flash, but it wont work the way i wish it would. what i wann have is a swf embeded in an html. the swf size is 950 px x 550 px and is in the absolute middle from all sides of the browser. if you scale your browser, it should scale itself smaller, but not bigger than the beginning resolution. within the swf file there is a game, that opens in a seperate window in front of the main swf. that window should be dragged whereever you want in the browser.
but i just figuered out what i have to do, to give the window some freedom. but when i want to drag it above the main swf i cant do that. i figured out that when i drag it to the left, there is the same problem, but the further right i press the mouse on the window, the further i can drag the window to the left. same is on top - on the right and the bottom site there is no problem.and the html code is:

i'm new to AS3. how do i go about executing a custom function n number of times and then executing another function n number of times repeatedly?
eg.
function firstOne():void { }
function secondOne():void { }
i need firstOne() executed say 3 times and then secondOne() 3 times and then firstOne 3 times again and so on. i'm trying to move a movieclip 3 times to the left and then 3 times to the right continuously.
To my knowledge as3 cannot read the contents of a .doc/.docx file (it can, but it gets stuck in the beginning random/garbage data. Does this have to do with xml formatting?). Am I correct?
If I am correct in assuming as3 cannot read .doc/.docx files, does anyone know a workaround for this? I don't need the formatting, just the text. Can I skip the beginning garbage data? (How do I determine where the good data starts? Is it fixed location I can begin at?) Can I convert it to a .txt file in javascript or php or some other language? (I know very little about them, but am willing to learn) Is there another workaround that I haven't thought of that is worth looking into?

I was wondering if there was a way to dynamically load JPEGs and read their width/ height attributes before they actually land on stage. I have tried it once wherein I hide the targetted movie clip and try to utilize the INIT functin to check for initialize. This works pretty good except that a little dynamic animation I need tends to act a little later than it should creating a bug if u proceed immediately.
