Is there any way to accomplish this? I need to make it so that overlapping pictures or things outside of the movie screen will not show while I'm editing the movie.
View 1 RepliesIn my game, Ive got a HUD, (heads up display, life bar, points scorer etc...) and when an enemy comes onto the stage, the lifebar is appearing behind everything else, and it should really be the thing that's infront of everything else. Is there like a line of code and a function or variable I should declare or import that allows me to create depth and put my lifebar at the front.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to set up a html formatted xml document that is called into flash. I'll give you my code so you can see what I have done. Each slide represents a different content page - each will be called from a corresponding swf movie.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<slides>
<slide>
<title>Introduction </title>

The content is loading into the flash movie, but I can't figure out how to get words bold .. I tried some CDATA as you can see but all that displays in the flash movie is <b>BOLD</b> and the rest of the content after it is just gone ...I need to be able to place the html text straight into the xml file and have it display the formatted text in the flash movie .. no clue how to achieve this .. I'm using Flash MX.
Short Answer: Yes, FullScreenEvent temporarily adds 1 child to the stage. Long Rant: Well how about that.. I'm not crazy.. I don't know if this is documented but - it's true. That little message that pops up saying 'you can press esc to exit full-screen' adds a single child to the stage temporarily and keeps it on the top level until it fades out. The sudden intrusion of indexes really messed me up.. so there's my answer, I guess. Now i just need to figure out how to get around this slight annoyance.

Now, bear in mind i'm not ruling out that my code is faulty because that's more than likely the case, but after pondering for ages and coming up empty handed, I keep getting a little superstitious that flash is playing tricks on me and that the 'little message' is not independent and is actually added to the display list..
Does anybody know if I'm just imagining things? or is the 'press esc' message a part of my swf on the display list?
HI have a php setup to echo an XML document.In actionscript, I'm trying to send the artist's name to PHP, PHP will pull the artist info from SQL and echo out in XML for flash.Is there something wrong with my Flash Script? The artistName variable will contain a string with an artist's name...just an FYI, but like I said, it returns back with information, but not in XML format.[code]

I have a large flash project and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle it. I want to load in an XML file of groups and their members, and a bunch of attributes related to each group and its respective members - but these groups and members are only displayed on screen after a user clicks on their parent groups. My first thought was to just pull in the XML for the whole tree of groups and users, then assign movie clips for the groups, and attach properties related to their display and how the user will interact with them - but if they may never appear on screen, is it pointless to do this? How do I best structure this project? Build an object and attach properties only to the object, then add display data only on click?

I have recently followed a tutorial on how to create a simple loading screen, on completion of this i realised it was teaching me how to create a loading screen for a flash movie. How I would change my Action script so at the end of the movie it would display my website?
My current action script is as follows..
First frame:
Code:
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
Second frame:
Code:
this.gotoAndPlay(1);

Ok, So I've decided to show some information on my site, but instead of using a static table, I've decided i wanted to use flash.Basically, want I want to do is have 3 bits of information to be displayed in the flash and a start screen.When the flash loads, it will show the starter Screen. From there the user will select either one of the three buttons,which will direct them to one of the 3 bits of information. I was thinking each bit of information on a different frame.How would I link the Buttons to the information?

Using Flash CS5 Professional I have created a symbol, dragged it onto the stage, and given it an instance name of GreenLight1. If I want to make this visible from the document class, I can simply do the GreenLight1.visible=true; and poof it's good to go when I test the file. As long as I stay in the document class I am good to go, but now I'm trying to move to another class and hitting ALL kinds of trouble just trying to get Flash to allow me to access this simple object. All I am looking to do is have this GreenLight1 go invisible (visible=false) when a certain condition occurs in this new class and Flash just won't let me access GreenLight1 at all. Things I've tried thus far:
stage is passed to the class and is referenced by _stage and is working just fine when I do _stage.addchild or anything like that. So I have tried "_stage.GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property GreenLight1 not found on flash.display.Stage and there is no default value." My document class extends Sprite, so I figured I'd try the root function. So I tried "Sprite(root).GreenLight1.visible=false;" and I get "1119: Access of possibly undefined property GreenLight1 through a reference with static type flash.display:Sprite." I tried to create the Resource class as described therein. To which I came across the same problem that I started with in that it doesn't know what GreenLight1 is to begin with so I got "1120: Access of undefined property GreenLight1." Here is my code for Resource.as (am I supposed to pass something to this class from the document class?)

If Im going to create a full screen flash website what size should my stage document be?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to achieve a flash project with a background that is required to be stretched. Otherwise it looks funny.
My idea was to create different dimensions of the background, and according to the screen resolution the visitors has, the flash document publishes the background that is meant for the visitors screen resolution.
* And, can the flash document "strech" also? So I can put the different backgrounds in the flash document, and the flash document widens so it covers the whole web browser window?
I want to duplicate a 10 by 400 horzontal bar down the entire screen on a 550 by 400 document and have each one change colors randomly. I have this so far:
this.attachMovie('square', 'square', 1);
i=0;
square.duplicateMovieClip("square"+i, i, {_x:0, _y:Math.random()*400});[code]....
"square" is my horizontal bar of course. I've read the tutorials buy I'm still not exactly sure how duplicateMovieClip works. what determines how many times it is duplicated?Then I'll have to figure out how to get each one to move down 10 pixels it is duplicated so they are not just all on top of each other.

Currently I'm working with Flash CS3 but can upgrade to 4 . . .I'm wondering if there is a way to speed up the process of animating certain things. For instance, if I make an animated subject and then want to make ten or twenty from the same template with the same objects, but each object will follow a different animated path in the new animation, i. e., in the new swf file.
Should I rely on using code to animate objects? I'm trying to avoid repeatedly dragging the same movie clips from the library to the timeline and setting tweening each time. Sometimes I need to do this action 50 or 60 times per animation, and it's the same two or three movie clips each time--it's very tedious. Also, each animated movie clip must be in sync with music . . .
The AVM verifier when encounters and error, writes to flash log. In the documentation it says that verifier will visit "all possible branches" where jumps might take it. However it is still pretty confusing when trying to follow the output. how to interpret it properly? The whole flow seems confusing. For example what are the meanings of the following markings.
[Code]....
Further, there are machine instructions and Machine State with registers, scope stack and operand stack. I understand when I see instruction and later a state modified, e.g. PushFalse would make a Boolean appear on Operand Stack - (Boolean[B]). But sometimes state is written even without an instruction preceding it, in combination with MERGE FIRST, MERGE CURRENT, etc. What does that mean?
Do you think the arrival of the new Flash Player 11 which is much more powerful allowing to render 3D games much faster will change the flash world significantly?Will we see a whole new era of 3D everywhere? new 3D games on the web, new 3D games on facebook, new 3D stuff everywhere... new IDEs for the 3D capabilities? a boost in the flash 3D engines such as Away and Alternativa? And most importantly for developers, is it going to create a lot more job oportunities for specialized developers with new skills?
