ActionScript 3.0 :: StarDrag Not Working On MovieClip With Text?
Sep 12, 2009In the first class I add a textField tf to a movieClip mc using mc.addChild(tf)
In my second class: I create in an instance of mc and I see that it comes with its appropriate text
I register event listener mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
In onMouseDowm function i call event.target.startDrag(); and I get this error
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property startDrag not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value. at SecondClass/onMouseDown()
I think there is something like conflict related to the textField of my movieClip mc.
When I remove mc.addchild(tf) in the first class, the method starDrag() works well (//mc.addchild(tf))
How to resolve this issue, I need the textField with its text on my mc

Aug 4, 2010just getting the grip around the variables and im experimenting. This is what i have as a variable
money = 1000;
health = 100;
Then i have the dynamic textbox that shows them. works great, and i also have various effect that makes the two go up and down. Here's the problem, or more, how i would like to expand the concept but is stuck on. Right now both variables can go as high and low as possible (of course). Is there something i can add in that script that makes so the money variable can't go below 0. Also is there something i can add so that the Health can't go ABOVE say 500 and when health reaches zero (or a negative) this triggers _root.gotoAndPlay("gameover"); you get what im trying to achive here
Flash8 :: Seeing All Layers In Animation?
Mar 13, 2009I am trying to make an animation in which different layers (=images) come into the stage, then stay in place and other layers move in and stay as well. I have done 2 of the layers so far, converted them into movie clips, tweened them etc. When I run the cursor along the timeline, I see the desired result on the stage, ie everything comes in at the right time and stays in place. However, when I export it to view the film, only the first layer comes in, moves into place and stays there, and then nothing happens, ie the second layer never comes in.
I've tried everything I can think of, moving the layers around etc, and have deleted and redone the whole thing many times in an attempt to fix this, but I simply don't know what is wrong.
Flash8 :: Blank When Exporting To .avi?
Mar 25, 2009So I made an animation a while ago and exported it no problem as an .avi. Recently I've needed to make changes, but whenever I try to export it, it is a blank video.
There is no sound, so I'm not sure whether or not that is working, but the video turns out as just a black movie with the proper length.
When I test it in flash or export it as a .swf, it is fine, only the .avi is the problem.

View 3 RepliesFlash8 :: Stopping The Map At Impact
May 10, 2009Basicly its simply a world map with a character in the middle. You move around with the arrow keyes (in reality you move the map around and the character stays in the middle) and at certain impact you walk into houses etc etc. To accomplish this i have a movie clip in the middle named "man" and a map movie clip beneath it with the following code:
[Code]...
So far so good and no problems. This is what i need help with: I can't seem to get the "main" map to stop moving at certain points when it impacts the "man". In essence there are lakes and mountains that the character cannot cross when when he hits these i want the speed X to be 0 so to say. Im uploading my example here. It's when the movieclip in the root named "man" hits the purple line in the map movieclip its speed should go 0. Ive tried around with hittests (the code is still in the code) but i can't get it to work.
Flash8 :: Put Variables In An Array?
May 31, 2009Is it possible to put variables in an array?
For example:
Code:
var positions:Array = new Array(Stage.width / 2, Stage.height / 2);
When the above code is executed, the values "Stage.width / 2" and "Stage.height / 2" are replaced with the number values and the array becomes, for example [500, 400].And when I call the array positions[0], instead of getting the value of the Stage.width / 2 (considering the stage has been resized), I get the static value of 500.What can I do to get the value of Stage.width / 2 ?

Flash8 : Collide With Only One Layer?
Dec 2, 2009I'm using Flash 8, and I'm hoping to work on a platforming game. I'm pretty familiar with programming in general, but Flash is a little confusing for me.What I have at the moment kind of works for generic collisions, but my problem is that it works too well. My player symbol collides with absolutely everything, on every layer, even including text.
Right now my file only has two movie clips, Player, and Bounds, and there's an instance of Player named player_1, and an instance of Bounds named Wall.
For collision checking, I used the following if ( _root.Wall._parent.hitTest( ... ) ) { /*do stuff*/ } and this works well enough, I collide with anything, given that I check in the right place. I'm happy with the way that this works, but is there any way I can confine the collisions to the layer the symbol is currently on? I'd like to design the levels, and just draw the foreground graphics on the layer above, and the background graphics on the layer below.
Using trace, _root.Wall._parent returns level0, which I'm going to guess is maybe the scene? I'm assuming collisions aren't really meant to be handled this way, so if I have to totally redo them, I'll understand, but it would be most convenient for me if I can confine the collisions to only a single layer.

Feb 11, 2010My variable from the root timeline is not being sent to say a timeline inside a moveclip. This is basically my code:

Flash8 Sharing Art Across Files?
Feb 16, 2010How would I set it up so that I can share a single piece of art across multiple files? My goal is to arrange it so that I can edit the art in the original file and automatically update the art in all files linked to it when published?
For example, I'm working on a character animation where the character appears in many episodes and the episodes are split into many .fla files. If I needed to change the appearance of the character in all of the episodes which are spread across many .fla files, I would I have to do it manually?
Flash8 :: Loading AS From Another Swf File ?
Feb 18, 2010I am creating a new site using Flash 8 AS2, I have a question but im not even sure if its possible. I have created (for arguments sake) Main.swf which is made up of a logo, music player and a main window, this main window is a MC called content (content_mc). This loads external SWF files into it.
At the moment when the main.swf file is accesed it automatically fades content_mc window to black then fades back out to display a swf file called 'door.swf' that all loads fine and heres my question --- within door.swf there is a button (door_btn) what i want to happen is when door_btn is clicked I want it to look at the action script listed under the main.swf file and fade out content_mc (currently displying door.swf) then fade back in with the a new swf file i.e room.swf.
So the main.swf file has no buttons on it, all the buttons will be displyed within the swf files loaded into the content MC, when any of these buttons are clicked I want the Main.swf to perfom the transition and disply the new swf file, is this possible ?
The code im using at the moment is as follows: In Main.swf i have a content_MC and transition_MC
Content_mc
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {
[Code]......
I know ive got to put some code into the external swf files but i dont know what ?
