I have tried on google with no luck so before I spend anymore time on this would like to know if it's possible.I have 50ish very small 1 - 2 second swf files each one is like one slide. I would like to combine them all together into one flash file.Is this possible, as a note I don't have the original source files I have just been provided with the swf files.
View 3 RepliesI have 8 flash movies, each with 3 scenes within each one.What is the most effective way (by which I mean, takes the least amount of time to implement and produces a file without each and every object used in the library) to combine these 24 scenes into a single flash file so that they play consecutively and can be exported as a single SWF?EDIT: I know there is a method whereby you select all frames in each scene and convert these frames to a movie clip, however the main document then inherits all the objects from each MC in its library- this seems a cluttered approach. Is there a better way?
View 1 Replies1) I started off with one FLA that was scripted so the mouse controlled panning (horizontal and vertical). That works fine by itself. (image_panning_as3.fla)
2) I also have another FLA that was scripted so when you click the buttons a popup window will come in and play any SWF content. (test.fla)
I have tried to combine these files multiples ways. Putting #2 into a movieclip and #1 outside the movieclip. Tried to rewrite everything together with no luck. I am trying to do is combine the AS3 into one FLA (except for the main.as) or basically get the AS3 in #1 to go into #2 and have everything work (Pan around screen with mouse and buttons still activate popup).
I created several SWF files, now i want them to interact with each other So there is main SWF file lets call it: main.swf then within that file(main.swf) I would like to create buttons which will be calling other swf files for instance by pressing one button one.swf will be open by pressing other button two.swf will be open and so on. Then I would like to create buttons within one.swf and two.swf which will allowed to go back to main.swf.
View 3 RepliesSo, I need to make a slideshow that displays an arrow button on either side that can allow a user to navigate between four different swf files. The only specification is that the swf slide out as the new one appears. Could I do this in AS, or would I need some type of plugin?
I'm pretty sure I can make an empty movieclip and just load the SWF into it, but could I make the previous swf slide out as the new one appeared by doing that?

View 2 RepliesI'm still a newbie at this program, I've wasted a lot of time tryin to figure out and resarching for solutions on how to play the 2 scenes I have created in flash. Scene 1 is a plane animation while the 2nd one is a time based animation that depends on the time in your computer. The movie should be played scene 1 first then scene 2. I have tried the gotoAndplay AS script but it doesnt work.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to combine bold and regular text in a textfield but how do I embed an font family and not just a single style of a font?See example of how I embedded a font, you can only choose one style: "regular", "bold", "italic" or "bold italic" at once:However, when you try to embed the text (via the IDE settings or actionscript) how do you set the font to be the entire family?

I have a "person" so to speak, in flash, with a few different parts; head, pants, shirt and hat. There can be, for example, 10 different colors of shirts for the person. I've done a lot of the AS3 code behind it, but I'm awful in flash, and I've had a ton of trouble with this.
What I'm really trying got figure out (in vain) is how I can have basically a blank skeleton structure (i.e. I'm trying to have "blank" or "placeholder" symbols connected by Inverse Kinematics as bones) consisting of the pants, shirt, & head, and when I find out that shirt #6 needs to be on the person... put it in that placeholder. Does that make sense? That's the big problem. The other thing is that I've had nothing but trouble figuring out how to have, for example, one or two outlines of shirts, and when it sees shirt #6, it fills in that shirt with blue dynamically. But that might be for another question.
How I have it now: In AS3, each of the parts, the shirt, the pants, the head & hat, have their own custom classes behind movieclips, and for example, I've got it set up that the body contains the pants, shirt and head classes, and the head contains the hat class, etc.
I'm making a website which consists of an intro and the main page. For all intensive purposes, let's just call em intro.fla and main.fla.I would like to combine the two somehow
1) Turn the entire intro.fla into a movieclip and place it at the beginning of main.fla PROBLEM: main.fla is substantially larger, and will bump up the load time for the intro.
2) Run the intro, and have it load the main page with a UILoader.PROBLEM: The intro doesn't Unload, causing problems with the main page. How can I unload the intro.swf from it's self?
3) Somehow combine both .fla's before I convert to a .swf. I think that I could eventually figure out how to make it work properly, but I'd rather someone tell me what the preferred method is and why.
I'm in the process of making a web page that'll successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional ([URL]), but as soon as I place in the fixit.js script under the flash object and view the page in IE, all the flash elements turn white. Quote:

View 2 RepliesSo here's what I want to do: I have a button, and I'm adding an Event Listener to that button to call a function. Now I want the event to be triggers when someone mouses out of the button AND someone is mousing out in the direction up.
-carbotech_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, callLink); <--- does the job for Mouse Out
-carbotech_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, callLink); <---- does the job for when the mouse is moving up
So I need to make it so that both of these end up true in order for function callLink to be called. Is that possible, and if so, what would the syntax be?

combine the following from Senoculars classes:
Transform.as - transform handles to rotate an mc
DashedLine.as - to draw a dashed line
ProgressiveDrawing.as - to move an mc from a - b
(Links at bottom)
I am basically trying to drag a mc onto stage. Rotate it using rotation handles, move it to another position and rotate it again. Then press play to watch it move from a - b, with a dashed line, and rotating from a - b.
Has anyone done this before or know of examples?
Senocular has combined DashedLine and ProgressiveDrawing in this example: [URL] and its been really great but now I am stuck trying to make the mc rotate. I have made my own crappy rotation handles but thought it may be better to use the transform (and convert somehow to as2) and store each rotation.

How to link one tween to another? I need to make a multiple tween because the movement of the object is not in one line.
Simply, this code wont do

var tween_bus_y1:Tween

var tween_bus_y2:Tween
tween_bus_x1 = new Tween(bus, "x", None.easeNone, 302.2, 304.6, 200, false);
tween_bus_y1 = new Tween(bus, "y", None.easeNone, 1.6, 62.6, 200, false);
tween_bus_x2 = new Tween(bus, "x", None.easeNone, 304.6, 316.4, 200, false);
tween_bus_y2 = new Tween(bus, "y", None.easeNone, 62.6, 103.6, 200, false);
It only display the second movement. How to trick this?
I'm trying to display a score in CS4 using AS2.0. The score is out of 14, so the display should read "1/14", "2/14" etc. I've got some code that scores correctly, but would like the text box to incorporate the "/14" which is static text. If I sit a static text box next to the dynamic text box, it doesn't align properly. I've anti-aliased the text (Bitstream Vera Sans Bold), but the alignment is still not reliable, even checking type spacing, correct Y position on page etc. The code I have currently is:
var score:Number = 0;
function addScore() {
score++;
scoreBoard.variable = score;
}
I thought by altering the last line to
scoreBoard.variable = score + "/14";
but this doesn't work, the "/14" does not display.I've also tried scoreBoard.text = score + "/14"; In this instance, the "/14" is not displayed when the score is zero, then displays "1/14" when the score is 1, but then displays "a/14" when the score increases.
