We are going to make a lot of small flash animations with different messages, and put them on a big screen. They will be saved as SWF files.
Is there a framework or anything that enable us to make a easy controller for this, so we can control both a loop, but also play a specific clip when we want?
I'm a very beginner and I have downloaded a movie script and but I cannot make the movie stop looping.How I can change this script and make it stop after looping twice.[code]
View 1 Repliesi've got an attachMovie in a for loop, that creates a number of buttons, depending on how many names are in an array. as of right now i have the buttons created vertically, and im controlling the x value, like this:
allNames = attachMovie("menuButton",myArray[e],depth,{_y:allNames._y+allNames._height+5});
allNames._x = 520;
i'd like to do two things that this won't let me do:
a. have more control over the Y coordinate, so when the loop starts i can say 'start making the buttons at x: 520, y: 350, instead of them just starting at y: 0 like they are now.
b. have a way to check if the amount of buttons reaches five in height, if so, the array starts a new column at x: 600 y: 350. im trying to have it do that about 3 times, as the amount of buttons will vary from 5-15.
i tried to use for to control all the buttons i have but i get this error:1083: Syntax error: dot is unexpected.
Code:
var btnNum:Number = 6;
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= btnNum; i++) {
["L" + i + "_mc"].buttonMode = true;
["L" + i + "_mc"].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver, false, 0, true);

I have downloaded a movie script and but I cannot make the movie stop looping.How I can change this script and make it stop after looping twice.
the script as following:

how to have control over the strings in the for each loop?
I have a flash piece with 3 main keyframes/story ("story1", "story2" & "story 3") that cycles (and loops) from story to story, and 3 buttons that stop the cycle and take you to one of the stories
So on my first frame I have:
_root.mainMC.playing = "true";
function playOn(frame) {
/gotoAndPlay(frame);
}
Then on each keyframe I have:
stop();
setTimeout(this,'playOn',2000,"whatever the next frame is")
Then on button I have:
on (press) {
_root.mainMC.playing = "false";
gotoAndStop("story3");
}
I think somehow I have to have the button clear the function because for example, if I am viewing story 1 during the cycle and click 3, it goes to 3 and then quickly goes back to 2 and then stops on 3.
I have to create a slideshow that loads 16 different swf's into a container_mc. Each swf has an image with accompanying voiceover.
I have the basic next, previous, first, and last slide buttons working but they want to add a slider bar that plays and u can slide to a specific section of the slide show. The slidebar is where I am having troubles.
Here is what I have so far...
This is the code on the first frame for the buttons
Code:
nowPlaying = 1;
lastPlayed = 0;
playingNext = 2;
autoPlaySlides = false;
[Code]....
For the slider I need to create some kind of loop that checks where the dragger is. If it is between 1 and 6 slideLabel = "Go to slide 1"; If it is between 7 and 12 slideLabel = "Go to slide 2"; and so on up to 16... when the dragger is released on the slide the user wants to go to it needs to load specified .swf.
In a movie a have a sound object, that i make it through (for example)
Code:
musica = new Sound();
musica.attachSound("fondo");
I have many other sounds in the movie but this object is for a loop... The problem is that when I set the volume for that object, through:
Code:
_root.musica.setVolume(0);
Or whatever value, all the other sounds are set to that volume too. I just want to mute the loop but also the buttons sounds are muted...

It is partially working now, just needs to be tweeked... It is reading the variables, and setting the slide label text to the correct label, BUT it is only doing this once when the mouse is pressed and does NOT update when the mouse is dragged. I tried so many different ways and can't figure this out.

have a mc on stage ('sq') and it gets duplicated using the loop.have a simple Tween function for over state called 'over'how would I write so that when rollover on (for example) sq3,apply the over function to sq2 and sq4 as well (the ones next to the target)?[code]
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to control a Flash movie from JS when you have no control over the source? I have decompiled the movie to see its inner workings, but I know nothing about Flash, so I'm mostly in the dark. I found this resource, Interaction with JavaScript, but it's not working for me (probably because I don't know what message to send to the movie).
View 1 RepliesI have a flex application and have embedded a flash (SWF) file into it using <mx:SWFLoader>. There is an "Exit" button on the Flash file. I want to be able to handle the button click event on the flex application.
So when that button in the flash file is clicked, I want to perform an action in the parent flex application.
I am trying to manipulate (move up and down, enable/disable and launch a form) child controls inside a panel control. However I am unable to get the id of the child control on which the click event occurs. To illustrate, I am trying to create similar functionality as is available. I am trying to create the up-down buttons that you see in the image at http:[url].......
View 2 Repliesim trying to make a music/sound control and FX sounds control,so i have my FX volume level as a variable(FX_vol) and also the Music/sound volume level as a diffrent variable(M_vol),so i set them as sounds that i can use trough coding:
[Code]...
1) Passing a control itself as parameter into a function 2) Passing an id ( managed manually) of the control as a parameter into a function . Say for an array of controls I have ctrl_Array = [ my_btn, my_mc, my_dtg ] and corresponding id_Array[0,1,2] PS: If my question is difficult to understand, i just wanna know, if it is a good programming practice to pass control references among the classes as function parameters ?
View 1 RepliesI would like to create a loop so the icons in the menu continually loop indefinitly.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am attempting to use a loop to create text field with the loop's current value. The code looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i = 1; i<=10; i++) {
var 'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt':TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.x = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.y = 40
'nameHolder'+[i]+'_txt'.text = "Hello World"
}
So essentially what it should do is create 10 text fields at 40, 40 with the text: "Hello World".
i'm trying to do an infinate loop for my m.clip.the looping part does not want to loop...it loops back to my firrst frame even though there are two same picture in the movie clip.....here's a sample of what i use for the infinate loop script..

I have need of loops / nested loops that pick different figures depending on where you are in the loop. The whole function needs to run through 'ml' times. 'ml' is a dynamic figure. Loop 1 = While the loop is within the first 12 iterations, 'exconemp' must equal 100. For iterations 13 - 24, 'exconemp' must equal 102.5, for 25 - 36 it will be 105.06, for 37 - 48 it will be 107.69. This needs to change every 12th iteration until it has reached 'ml'. The calculation takes the value of the previous 'exconemp' and then multiplies that by 0.025.
Loop 2 = While the loop is within the first 120 iterations, 'abc' must equal 0.015 and any further iterations must use 0.01. This must also work in a way to figure out whether 'ml' is higher or lower than 120 and work accordingly. My main issue is this - how do I get the loops to run through as this: While the iteration is < 12, do this, THEN take the final figure (12th iteration) and start on 13 - 24, do this THEN etc etc. How do I produce a THEN statement? I can get the code to pick up the final values, but not change along the way.

basically I need a loop within a loop to compare two different arrays in my actionscript3 lottery game. I have attempted the loop but I cannot seem to get it to work ...

So basically within this code check_win is a button. Once the button is clicked it runs the loop. It is meant to take an instance of matches which contains 6 properties and loop until index is greater than matches. According to my output this is happening but the second loop doesn't appear to do anything.
How do i word a for loop to make it loop through multiple arrays?I want 1 for loop to loop through multiple arrays in order to move/alter objects.I want to keep the arrays separate.

I'm trying to make a matching pairs game. First of all I'm making all the tiles, using a loop inside a loop. How do I get the ID of an item inside that loop? My code looks like follow:
Code:
var matches:Array=new Array(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8);
makeTiles();
function makeTiles() {
[Code].....
dayVal = day.value;
for(dayVal = 1; dayVal/7 != 1; dayVal++)
{trace (dayVal);
}
the loop starts at 0 and not 1 so the loop ends at 6 does any one know how to resolve this issue?? its so that what ever number dayVal is it will be rounded up to a number that is Divisble by 7 .
Basically, I have data organized by date in an XML file. I'm trying to make a website application that will allow the user to click on a date (in a text field) to see another textfield populate with all the data under that particular date. So far, all the information loads into the textboxes at the same time. How can I get it to only load information under a particular date when somebody clicks on that date?
Before I started this project, I was convinced I could do this by manipulating the [j] (see code below) in the myFunc2 function. Currently, it's set up to increment blank_mc._y by whatever value is returned by [j]. But for some reason this doesn't work. I feel that if I could atleas get this part to work - I could probably do the rest.
AS code:
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
var nodes = this.firstChild;
