Convert Something To A Symbol Without Turning Into Rectangle?
Dec 5, 2010
I'm making a flash game (pac-man) and i have designed a level (the walls). Now when i convert it to a symbol flash makes it a rectangle (he counts the gaps between te wall as part of the symbol). This is a huge problem because when i want to test collision between pac-man and the walls in actionscript he always "hits the wall" because he is inside the object. Is there a way to convert only the walls into a symbol.

I am trying to convert a rectangle(actually multiple rectangles) to a curved rectangle. I think it should be pretty easy but I guess i am stupid. Basically I would have a start position and stop position (many of these), and they would be converted to curved rectangles and follow in a cicrle around.

I made a scene with movement and everything, but when I convert it to a symbol I lose the movement frames. I want to be able to import it as an object so that the animation loops for as long as I need it to in the other project.

I've imported a gif file into flash, traced it into the bitmap, made 24 symbols from 25 I wanted, I've distributed them into timeline, made a simple animation from few layers just for fun, when I made a new symbol it was from the first frame, only there was possible to see all graphic and select a new symbol, however now when I click on the first frame the last part of graphics that I want to convert to symbol is grey and I'm not able to select it (picture 4, the small grey stains), however with a selection tool it is possible to change a shape of the "stain". Other miracle I don't understand is the magenta square in left up corner, picture3 (it occurs only from 2nd frame), in library no symbol has this square.

if there's a way to take all of the keyframes and tweens I have on a timline and turn it into a symbol in a single script?Right now I'm:
copying all keyframes on one or multiple layers
creating a new symbol on the first frame with the objects in that frame
going into the new symbol
deleting the objects
pasting the keyframes
then moving all of the objects with the edit multiple keyframes tool to align with where
they were on the upper level and then removing all of the keyframes and tweens after frame 2 on the initial layer so symbol will have the proper loop length
A script to create this in one command would be incredibly usefull for my animation and being able to do the opposite... selecting a symbol and breaking all of the information inside to the same layer.

I have an image that I put in my movie. I then changed it via "Convert to Symbol" to a button. Within it I have two images, one that is for the up or no mouseover version and the other for the mouseover or down position. This part works fine. However using the code below I click on the button and nothing happens. The mouseover stuff still works fine just not the getURL. This should be so simple but it is holding me up.
Code:
SkipIntro.onPress = function() {
getURL("[URL]", "_blank", "GET");
};

What is happening is, when I convert any object to any type of symbol, it disappears on my stage. It tests fine, but the symbol is invisible. This makes it difficult for me to see the overall design. Last time there was a folder that was just filled with about 10k blank files somewhere in the preferences for flash, but I can't seem to find it to delete those random files/ that folder. I'm on a Mac, and uninstalling/reinstalling flash does not work.

For those of you still with me, I am tasked with making some scrollable content in Flash. Load in a TextFile using LoadURL(), then display it. To get the text, we've written our own class TextFieldExtended, which is basically just there to give the textfile location to the constructor and then have the class do the various steps of getting it and loading it for you.So I needed to get a Scrollbar, which I got hereThe thing is, it works with Sprites.After trying to get it to accept TextFieldExtended, I bumped into a block, since the scrollbar relied heavily on a Sprite property that TextFieldExtended didn't have or could have.
So I tried adding the TextFieldExtended instance to a Sprite instance using addchild.A problem occurs here that I do not know how to handle. It seems that a Rectangle is drawn and the Text is drawn on that. I say this because the scrollbar moves the Rectangle up and down a bit, but the text doesn't scroll, just the Rectangle it is positioned in and the text then moves along with it.My question: can this be fixed, or is does this implementation of scrollbars need a lot of adaptations before this is possible?

I would like to create a rectangle inside of a rectangle, starting approximately 15% inward from the right side of the other rectangle.
I know how to create rectangles with:
Code:
var newHotRect:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
newHotRect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
newHotRect.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
addChild(newHotRect);
But how would I make another rectangle on top of that (the black one pictured) that is approximately 15% from the right?
I toyed around with .right, and .bottomright with no success. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? or even finding the x and y of the upper right or bottom right side of a rectangle?

how to respond when a rectangle hits another rectangle? I already know how to detect the collision, I just don't know how to respond to it. I'm just trying making a simple side-scrolling platform game where I have platforms I can walk on and bump against on all sides. I have searched everywhere and just can't find the tutorials I'm looking for.

I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?

Basically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.

So i've done SOME work with flash and AS3, right now i'm working on a website for my boss, he bought some template online which has stuff laid out and animated and everything already, now I just have to integrate our content.My issue is this, I've got 2 symbols on the screen, one of which contains alot of buttons that list our services as company, the second symbol contains the content (or descriptions) of those services, which on are separate keyframes.What I'm trying to accomplish is that when you hit the button in "symbol A", it affects the "symbol B" and goes to the corresponding keyframe.For example when I click "button 2" in "symbol A", "symbol B" goes to keyframe 2.Now if they were in the same symbol it would be something like
on(release){
goToAndStop(2);
}

I'm building a survey in flash and I have multiple movie clips that cover the entire work area and are layered on top of each other, cycling through them (page to page) by tweening alpha on/off. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks except for the fact the buttons. While I can not see them, my cursor still turns into a hand if I happen to scroll over them.I've tried using, useHandCursor = false; and buttonMode = false; without any luck. Can anyone tell me how these commands work or can you tell me how you cycle multiple pages in the same flash file?

I have downloaded Lee Brimlows (gotoandlearn.com) tooltip example and I am trying to modify it so I can turn Tool tips on and off.
I have managed to come up with the function that turns them off,
b5.onPress = function()
{
unloadMovie(tooltip);
}
how to turn them back on with the click of a button.
I have tried
b6.onRelease
{
_parent.loadMovie("tooltip");
}
Code is listed below
tooltip._visible = false;
var tipInt;
b1.onRollOver = function() {

This code is on the opening frame of one of my Flash files:
Code:
var myConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
myConnection.connect("rtmp://fvss.playstream.com/fvssod/myclient");
var myStream:NetStream = new NetStream(myConnection);
myVideo.attachVideo(myStream);
myStream.play("iLoveLALong");
It starts this song "iLoveLALong" as background music. Works great. But now I need to turn the music off when I jump to another frame in the Flash doc. Can anyone suggest code that will do that, either with frame code or button code?

I'm making something for my site where you can design your own character. I am trying to set it so when you select a hair style, it'll change the hair style on the person(I already know how to change the color and stuff). How do I do that?? I thought I could do it so it would switch the movie clip with the design of the button you press to get it to change the hair
