CS3 :: Reach Different Symbols In A Layer By Code?
Mar 17, 2010
The thing is, I am coloring though code the parts of a body, which is a movieclip composed by other movieclips. I am coding in AS2, using the setRGB function from the Color class. Everything is working ok, but there is one arm that is not being colored.
This arm actually is in one layer with several keyframes, half of them have one symbol, and the other half have another symbol. Both symbols represent the arm in different positions. Now, even though they are different symbols, I have named both instances with the same name, but with this solution the arm is not being colored. So I tried to remove the keyframes with the second symbol, and then it got colored.
To sum up, I don�t know how to reach all the symbols in different keyframes of the same layer through code.

I have one layer with two tween spans, and would like to have a different symbol for each span. However, I cannot seem to do this without adding a keyframe in between the spans: if I have just the two tween spans, and replace the symbol in one, the symbol in the other span is also changed. What am I doing wrong here? (Using CS4)

I created a multi symbol model character and rigged it with bones. Now when i add a keyframe, some of the symbols (hand, belly) disapear in the new frame. also, some of the symbols return to 100% alpha when they should stay invisible (handles for legs, arms etc.)

I'm creating a game-engine, which will add objects to itself as symbols, and I want to be able to choose how they are "layered". For example, say I decide to model things in a type of 3D, and the Z co-ordinate is used for depth (distance from front), how would I translate this into an object 1 unit away rendering in front of an object rendering 2 units away? The engine programming I've done fine in terms of calculating the values etc., as I have a strong javascript background so that was the easy what with actionscript's neat OO syntax, but getting it to do things visually is a bit problematic know, heh. So far all I've really managed is a nice little loading bar, which isn't really that hard =D
Also, the symbols I create are actually going to be comprised of multiple parts; a base-layer, a detail-layer, and a colour-layer. What is the easiest way to do this? Ideally I'd create the symbol with multiple layers of its own, and simply toggle the detail and colour-layers on/off as required, and tint the colour-layer independently of the rest of the symbol. Is this possible? Or will I need to use multiple symbols and move them in tandem myself?

I'm confused as to how Flash CS5 treats symbol instances across different frames in a given layer; If I add an object to a layer, and then add a keyframe to the existing frame set, are there now two instances of the object, one for each frame? When I change the color of the instance in the first key frame, the second keyframes instance stays the same. Is there anyway to edit across all frames? Paste across all frames?

I have followed the guide at this link to create a matrix code effect. The matrix code font file is available to download from this site also (mCode15). Once I get this file up and running and understand how it works, I'm going to tweak it somewhat to suit my needs.
Iam, however, experiencing some problems getting it to work as described in the tutorial. I have followed the tutorial to the letter, but when the flash movie file runs, only the glyph symbol that I used to create the_one and one_pod movie symbols is displayed in the code that scrolls down screen. I have embedded the font the way it describes and even added it to the library and set it to export for actionscript using the linkage option. But the matrix code that rains down is still only one symbol which never changes.

I'm working on a project that involves making a globe in flash which will have many particular points (all the worlds major cities by using their longitudes and latitudes). It's all 2D made to look 3D.To make the "Sphere," I put together some code that stacks a bunch of ovals that creates the illusion of space, ala the code below...
//AS3
function magicTrigFunctionX (pointRatio){
return Math.cos(pointRatio*2*Math.PI);
}
[code]....
Now, my problem is that in order to assign the longitude and latitude information I need to be able to address each oval individually (not only which one, but also eventually the angle/radians of each oval for the latitude) and I've run into a snag...I don't know how or perhaps exactly what to do, because I know how to make it a symbol and class if the object was already made visually using the oval tool in the tool bar, but I can't figure out (after taking a bit of time looking up on how to use arrays and classes) how to do it in the AS3 code where I actually made the "sphere."

We have a flash vector type map with pan and zoom ability and need to have layer1 which features a simple flash vector map visible from the initial overview until when the user has zoomed in to a certain amount when a more detailed layer2 flash vector map then appears and layer1 disappears. I would imagine a code turning off or on visibility of a layer dependent upon the zoom is what we need.

Is there any method with which I can get to know which of the two movieclips I'm using is lying above or below in the timeline 'layer' arrangement in flash.
what I'm asking is if have two movieclips 'a' and 'b'. One in layer 10 of timeline of flash professional and 'b' on layer 1. Will be able to change the index order using pure as3 code to visually keep the movieclip on the 10th layer on top of the movieclip on 1st layer?

I am working on a project in flash cs4 and have Adobe Air 1.5 as player as this will be air appi. But other than using localstore to save my data everything else is pure flash as3 code. Nothing special really. And I was just about to finish it when this problem occurred. If I delete a layer that has nothing else but a picture inside which I was using to position movies correctly, everything in frame 3 where my main code is stops working. It doesn't trace anything, it just stops but actions on frame 1 and 2 work just fine. I don't get any errors either.
I deleted all the code from my main action layer in frame 3 and it still doesn't trace simple trace("aa");. As if everything I've put on the layers can't be changed or it just stops working. Same thing if I change a sound in the library, just updating it with another and it stops working. I just can't find the answer really. I rearranged things, deleted movies, basically everything and still no answer. I even tested it in flash cs3 and same thing happens. But I used this kind of methods before (deleting layers that I didn't need) and never had this problem before.

I made a button a stage, and I want the button to take the user to a separate scene that I have named "Biography page" when it is clicked. The thing is, I want all my actions on one specific layer. So I made an instance name for my button, "aboutme". The thing is... I have no idea how to write the code.

i'm currently having a small problem with some Actionscript 2.0 in CS3. I'm following a tutorial to make a simple maze like game Tutorial here: [URL] I'm currently at step 5 where it's coding the movement and wall detection.. The problem is the tutorial wants me to apply the code directly to the maze/wall movieclip. However as this is for a college project my lecturer will not accept actionscript directly applied to buttons or movieclips.. He basically wants all the script on a seperate actionscript layer. So basically what i'm asking is how and what part of the code do i need to change so it'll still work even though it's on a different layer!

I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.

Could someone take a look at this fla and tell me how I can take the code in the "random" layer, and create a function, much like the startMove function at the bottom that stops the movement of the bars moving around and moves them back to their initial _x positioning. The bars that get moved around are in the "trend bars" layer. There seem to be a lot of ways to do this but since there are only going to be 6 bars, I would be open to a funciton that hard coded the initial target _x positioning in for each bar and then stopping the movement

I 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?

Im 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.

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.

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?

I 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.
