I have a simple game with a dial and a needle. I have made two "right" and "wrong" buttons.Simply, I need to be able to make the needle move forward when the "right" buttons is clicked, and backward when the "wrong" button is clicked, regardless of the needleposition on the dial. What would be the simplist way to accomplish this? I am a beginner with Actionscript, and I've tried all I know to do
View 1 RepliesI have a rotating dial coded in AS3 but I cannot get it to follow with the mouse - It works the way I want it to if I grab opposite to the pointer (so 90 to 180 degrees from the pointer) to rotate the dial. The problem is that I am using the rotation degrees to set a value only in positive numbers ranging from 0 to 240 instead of 0 to 360. If I change the standard rotation code so it tracks with the mouse, it reveals angles -180 to +180 which would screw up the number conversion to positive 0 to 240. I am thinking if I have to change "var r", then "var tr" needs changing to get it back.
View 4 RepliesFlash knows where the anchor point is in 3D space in order for the symbol to rotate around it, but I can't seem to figure out how to see the coordinates of the anchor point or type in new ones. Please tell me how to do this. I am already very annoyed that Lynda, a pay service, doesn't think this is vital information. Apparently they think we would never want to do anything more visually stimulating than one simple spinning logo! But I digress...
Just to be clear, I know how to move the anchor point visually on the stage, but I want accuracy. I want to be able to give two symbols the exact same coordinates to rotate around.
I've got a project on my hands, an interactive kiosk. I've created the interface in Flash, but I have some issues I can't get past. First of all, I want to create an emergency call feature, where the user presses a button and the kiosk dials the emergency number (112 for Europe). Now, how can I make the Flash movie call upon Windows' dial up connection, dial a number, establish a connection then disconnect?

I know that Flash can't use Windows services directly, so how can I accomplish this?My second issue is that I also would like to create a photo-shoot system, where the Flash movie takes a snapshot from the webcam, saves it as a file, then the user needs to input his email address and the file is sent by email as an attachment.
View 1 RepliesI am currently trying to create a type of speedometer thing which reacts via various buttons on the screen. I done a simple script for the needle to move so many degrees left or right but this simple script doesn't stop the needle from continuing to go to far left or right (min/max on dial). Is there a way of stopping the needle once it has reached say 10 degrees and 120 degrees?
My script is:
bad_btn.onPress = function (){
needle_mc._rotation +=16;
} good_btn.onPress = function (){
needle_mc._rotation -=16;
}
Bad and good buttons determine the left and right. I am also interested in whether once the needle has reached it max point this would trigger of another function etc.
I'm having trouble with this turing dial. I want to have a clicking noise as the user drags the dials around.

I trained on flashMX back in the day and haven't done anything since so now I've got CS5 it's a bit like being at school again! I have a circular dial sat in the middle of the screen with an arrow placed on it's edge. How do I get the dial to rotate so it always faces the mouse pointer?

Let's say the Flash doc is set up in the form of a webpage. Then I have 5 buttons on the left. Now, I have another Flash banner at the top of the page.I'd like each button to launch a different animation within that top container upon clicking.I'm having trouble getting the script to work. Someone told me to put the script on the timeline of the actual main webpage - not attach to the buttons (which I find odd) I haven't used ActionScript in years!Oh, and I placed a stop action in the first frame of each animation movie clip so that they won't auto-play when the page gets uploaded to the web.
View 5 RepliesI am having trouble with my buttons, they work perfectly,do what they are supposed to do. I am using this code for my buttons:
Code:
choco1.visited = false;
choco1.onRollOver = function()[code]....
When you click on the movie clip it goes to another frame and an animation plays: THE PROBLEM: When it goes to the animation frame after clicking the button, you are still able to click the button even though the buttons are behind the animation that is playing...how would i go about disabling the buttons while it is on the animation frame but also keep the visited state of the button clicked?
I'm working on an assignment for a Flash Game Programming class (1 of 2) where I have to take a pre-made animation, add start and stop buttons to it, and use AS3 to make those buttons work. I got the buttons on the .fla, but I'm having a heck of a time stopping the animation using the stop button (I haven't even done the start button yet). This course is an independent study so I'm not being "taught" anything by the instructor. I have to find the answers myself. I've asked said instructor, my former AS instructor, and several computer lab monitors for help and we cannot get the animation to work correctly. There are compile errors that come up that really make no sense. This is my last resort in regards to this assignment!

I have four movie clips with instance names of "purple_ob", "green_ob", "orange_ob" and "blue_ob" and four buttons "purple_but", "green_but", "orange_but" and "blue_but" I want to have the movie clips automatically fade from one to another continually with a 5 second pause inbetween, but then if the user clicks one of the four buttons it will fade the relevant movieclip in. Then if nothing else is pressed the fading will carry on working through the four images in a loop.
So far I have the movie clips fading on a button press but how do I implement the automatic fading from one MC to another?
I've added the code below into the first frame of my scene

I'm ultimately trying to create a flash page for an html website that has a brief five-second animation during which 3 buttons fade in (buttons then become clickable after the animation is over).
The animation part is done. Right now, I am trying to get my movie to stop and hold on the last frame, where I want to add the 3 buttons that the user can click on to take them to one 3 different html pages of my website.
All instructions that I've found online have said to create a new layer for actions, insert a keyframe on the last frame of the movie, and add stop(); in the actionscript window. However, when I have the keyframe selected, my actionscript window says "current selection cannot have actions applied to it".
I definitely don't have any objects selected, just the keyframe.
You can see that I have the frame (a keyframe) that I want to insert a "stop" action selected in the Actions layer. This is the first frame in which the buttons exist, and from what I can tell, I need the clip to stop on the first frame of my buttons, after my animation is over. (Still figuring out how to get the buttons to work, but will address that later...)

I am currently using CS5.5 I try below code but the button did not work for all frame.
forwardBtn.enabled = false;
tweencable.onMotionFinished = function():Void
{
forwardBtn.enabled = true;
}
I think onMotionFinished is not on AS2.
i havent tried to do this yet but im gonna be getting to it this week so i thought i might get some input on my task. What I would like to do is when my buttons are pressed i want a animation to be triggered... im thinking of using actionscript. gotoAndPlay();? im not sure. its been the gotoAndPlay /gotoAndStop that are confusing me.... If anyone could maybe give me the code i would use or maybe a link to a tutorial on it for FLASH MX!
View 6 RepliesI got a question about disabling buttons, got this set of buttons where its animation is made by AS, so what I did is I put each button on separate MCs to make it move, but my prob is I have to disable the button while the animation is on progress..how do I stop it?

View 2 RepliesI'm making a main page for my website in Flash 8, and I need to know how to stop the animation on my web page from looping, but not have the stop command affect the ability to use the buttons.
The web page: [URL]
The stop command hits after the flower-links finish blooming, but the same stop command also nullifies the ability to click on the flowers. While some of the stuff is running from movie clips, the animation on the flowers and title are in the main movie, and it would be too complicated and out of the question to make them all into movie clips..
I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the FPS in a looping animation with a couple buttons. Don't need anything fancy. Just 20 FPS and 35FPS buttons.
View 2 RepliesHer is what i want to do, and need expertise on how to accomplish. Mine now stops completely.1. I have a button I duplicated 13 times. It has a mc placed on the rollover state.I want it to when rolled over play the mc through regardless of any other actions happening.2. I have put those 13 buttons in mc and they rotate like a wheel.I placed a transparent button over the buttons and gave it a on rollover stop move on roll off, play movie. When it rolls over it stops the animation in the buttons as well
View 3 RepliesWell I have this interactive design for a website that I am making for myself. The problem is that on the top layer just under my actions layer I have a texture that I use to give my whole design a really nice feel even the buttons. The layer is blending using multiply in flash even tried a soft light blend using an external swc but it was slowing down my animation to much. Anyway my buttons are underneath that layer so it gives that really nice effect to them. How can I get around this cause when I publish I cant click on any buttons since the layer above them seems to be blocking them which is the texture layer?
View 3 RepliesI'm new and am having a bit of trouble loading one swf into another for a preloader and main program. If u open up flashSite.fla or the swf, everything works, but when I load it into a mc container of preloaderMomSite, the animated buttons no longer work. If someone could take a look, I would love to find out what I'm doing wrong. All files are located on in the same directory.

I'm currently making a little header in flash. I created an animation ( things appearing and such ), and I like the way it is. But I'd like to know if it's possible to create two buttons : "stop animation" and "start animation", allowing people not to see the opening animation even if they reload the page and to skip to the last frame. The thing is it's the header of my forum : so it can be a bit annoying if it loads everytime you click on another page.
I read somewhere it's possible by using the "cookies", and a ... "shared object" ?
Is there any way to click on a button (or movieclip) in Flash and somehow get the current framelabel that the instance happens to be on?

trace(trace-out-the-frame-label-here?);

3. Press button 002
