I'm trying to create a flash drum machine. I have a template created in illustrator with 16 "pads" and I have 16 exported sounds. At this point all I want is when a apecific keyboard key is pressed it plays a sound.
For example button "Q" relates to "pad 5" which plays "sample5.mp3".

I make your object move with your tutorial,but Icant move my own object,
I am encountering a problem with addChild and removeChild.I would like to add a child when one button is pushed and remove the same child when another button is pushed.The code I am working with doesn't work. (see attached code)and this is the error message I get back.1120: Access of undefined property gallery.
View 2 RepliesI followed the mp3player tutorial (part 3) from [URL] and got it working fine. Only problem is that the setVolume I'm trying to use with my music is affecting all my other sounds - button sounds and background sound. I'm aware of the createEmptyMovieClip/attachSound approach and got it working on my other sounds. But Lee's tutorial-mp3player is using a slight different technique, and so my normal approach doesn't quite work.

I want to synchronize sounds perfectly to do a kind of Audio Mixer, using different sounds. [URL] does it perfectly, I've been researching and researching and I just don't know how to do it! How does [URL] synchonize audio so perfectly? you can even change sounds and the new ones will come on time! How do I do that? Is it just Action Script? or something else?
View 1 RepliesI have a film with 4 scenes in it: Here's a link to the film and as you can see the film does not play the music the second time because of the StopAllSounds function which is probably the wrong code to use. The first scene is just a button with 1 frame, a stop action and a music clip. The second scene is the film. The third scene is the credits fourth scene is a Play again button. I have a Stop all Sounds action on the fourth scene because if I do not use it and I press the Play Again button, the music from the first song keeps playing but also the music from the film starts up again so it starts to play twice. What I want to know is, how do I get the music to stop at the end of the film but start up again once I hit Play Again?
I am using Flash CS3 if that helps and using Actionscript2.
I have an animation I put together for a kids book where an animation takes place when a button is pushed. "if - else" statement where if the button is not pushed in "X" seconds, a targeted movie clip goes to its frame 2, otherwise it stays on frame 1. The code below is my weak attempt but should help describe what I am looking for:
Code:
on(enterFrame){
if(buttonMC is not pushed in 5 seconds){
animationMC.gotoAndStop(2)

I'm calling a flash file into the VB application. I'm also executing some code when user clicks on the SWF file.
Pushing a value into an Array is part of the code. What is happening is that.....when i trace the value of the Array, it shows duplicate values.
like if i'm pushing string "A" into the Array......when i trace the array it shows the array as [A,A] with length 2.
ActionScript Code:
if((second_mouse).hitTest(First_random_box))
{
Mouse_Team_One = ID;

I successfully loaded 8 objects and pushed them into an array. The problem is that if I want to have the same object in 2 places, it deletes the old one to make a new. Ex:
I am looping through an 9x9 grid btw and goto a MySQL database to find what tile needs to be placed where.
ActionScript Code:
function onResult(responds:Object):void
{
var dbArray:Array = responds.serverInfo.initialData;
[Code].....
It will load fine but once I hit a tile that was already used, it moves it to the new square.
I must be missing something small, but it sure makes a difference. My array contains five states each with an abbreviation (abr, such as "NJ", "NY") and either enabled or disabled (hot, either "true" or "false"). When I do a trace within the function itself, it brings back an accurate array.length. But, after this function, I can't recall the data at all! Its as if it only exists during the load function.
StateArray = new Array();
XMLRetrieve = new XML();
XMLRetrieve.ignoreWhite = true;
XMLRetrieve.load("states.xml");
XMLRetrieve.onLoad = function() {
[Code] .....
I'm trying to figure out how to find the exact location of an XML item after I pushed it to an array... I'm using this to find the item with the "fotoNR" number:
[Code]...
But how do I find that by code? Basically, I need to know how many items go from the beggining till the finded one!
I'm looking to take an object that contains String and Integer context and that has pushed upon a Stack and pop those specific contents into a display that the user can see.

I am looking for a script that would say that when one button is pressed it brings you to a certain frame and that a button on that frame is pressed. I am making new links to an already created site, it was not done with frames but rather has a series of movieclip buttons that make related info appear. Now I have new frames that will link to that info. I can get to the right frame by inputting
arru_btn.onPress function() {
gotoAndStop(5)
but I need to have a movieclip button (arru_txt) on that frame to be pressed so that the info that goes with the link appears as well. Is there a way to do this?

View 2 Repliesi have a series of radio buttons that when clicked, an array is pushed to store a value. i would like this value to be spliced from the array with the help of a variable if the person unchecks the checkbox, but all i've been able to come up with is splicing the first value out regardless of which button is unchecked.
Code: Select allmyArray=new Array
if (myArray.length>0){

What I want to do is this: In my main movie I have 2 variables: movietoplay and tag I want an swf to be loaded into a movieclip(content) when myButton is pushed. This swf contains a variable, called tag1(var tag1 = "guitar"). Then if its loaded, tag and tag1 should be compared, and if they're the same, nothing should happen. But if they are not, another movie must be loaded elsewhere. Basically, I've collected links that belong with the different pages that load into 'content' and those groups should be loaded into the 'links' movieclip. But sometimes, the links for 2 different pages are the same. So I want to check if the links of the page that will come are the same links of the previous page and if they are the same, no new links need to be loaded. But if they're not the same, the new set of links should be loaded. (A set of links always ends with"_link.swf")

Hi, if I set the scale mode to noscale and then set the width and height to 100% how do I keep the movie from getting pushed beyond the top and left boundaries of the browser window so the scrollbars will appear?

I'm trying to get an interface that will load external MCs that contain timeline control functions in them. Basically these are long "topics" that currently interface through a web content program - I would like to unify them into a single flash-based interface, but the functions that are in the external flash files, such as this:
dwnLine = function () {
totalBytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes = getBytesLoaded();[code]......
get pushed to level0 when you load the next MC, instead of just being deleted with the old MC. I've tried creating a function on the root timeline to delete the variable and the specific function names, but its not working, it just fights with the phantom functions endlessly creating/deleting the variables. This is turn screws up the timeline in the new MC that was loaded. Does anyone know why/what Flash is doing here? If I knew the reason it was being pushed up to level0 I could stop it,
on (release) {
loadMovie ("Loader1.swf", "/contentclip");
}
to load the new MCs into a container MC called "contentclip"
I have recently designed a children's educational game that is completed, however; it is a puzzle and the puzzle pieces can be dropped on top of each other and they hide behind eachother which I do not want to happen. I would like the game pieces to automatically get pushed off to the side of the other puzzle pieces that are in use...not stacked on top of each other. The game is complete except for this one problem.
View 1 Replieswhat's a simple way to combine arrays with as3? by combine, i mean that contents of one array are pushed into another array.I already tried a for loop and push.
View 6 RepliesI have a grid with 12 movieclip buttons. When a button is pushed a answer is displayed and on the answer frame, there's a button "click for more information".
That button points to information in a frame within the mc button. However, when I test it all the buttons on the root timeline appear on top of this information, covering it up.
Also, when you move the mouse while in this "further info" area, it disappears
what im thinking is each mc loaded is pushed into the array then on the press of a button or keyboard press the array is cleared and the movieclips that were inside the array are removed from the stage. trouble is i dont know how to write that. some guidance would be great.

A made a class to make thumbs from loaded images. I add a listener to every thumb to trigger a event in the main swf. Already found 'dispatchEvent' But I can't seen to find a way to see what thumb called the event.
I need this info to apply some tween's to the thumb triggering the event
Here you have the code from the class
Code:
package classlibrary{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code].....
why my dispatchEvent is not triggering. All I'm trying to accomplish is passing a variable from the document class to a sub class.
View 2 Replieswhat i've done is made an application where when you click on a "Proceed" button i've placed on stage said button is removed using removeChild() and more input fields are made available.a new button named "nextbutton" is also created at the same time to run a function which, when clicked, will check the input for validity and then advance the movie to the next frame if it all checks out.assuming the data does check out then the last command of the function (of the newly created "nextbutton" button) is to gotoAndStop(2); to advance the movie to the next frame.
i'm using the mouse_down mouseevent listener on both buttons to run my functions ie:
proceedbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Mouse_Do wn, proceedbuttonCLICK);
nextbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Mouse_Down, nextbuttonCLICK);
the problem i'm having is that if i tab thru my input textfields to enter data (and who doesn't) i end up tabbing to my "Proceed" button and then hitting the enter key. but if i hit enter on the button istead of clicking it then none of my if/else statements written into the nextbuttonCLICK function execute. even worse somehow the gotoAndStop(2); command somehow DOES execute (at least i think it does) because the movie advances to the next frame in my timeline. so now i'm at the next frame but my variables have not even been calculated ....what i don't get is the gotoAndStop(2); statement is written into the function for the "nextbuttonCLICK" so how the heck can hitting enter on a highlighted "Proceed" button have the effect it does? is it something built into the button class itself? i did choose to make my buttons "buttons" and not movie clips so the user would see the little hand cursor when mousing over them.
I have an intersctive flash file I'm creating that has a skinned clip inserted. There are buttons in the file that direct to different frames in the timeline.
I want the the buttons to stop the clip when they are triggered. Creating event listeners with functions does not seem to work.
How can I stop the clip without pressing the stop buttob on the clip skin?
how to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do the following without setting up an event listener for each textfield...
I have a bunch of input textfields on the stage (50+).
I want flash to gotoAndStop at frame 5 whenever ANY of the text fields have something typed in them.
Possible to do without setting up 50 event listeners? Is it possible to just set up one event listener that is trigerred when any input field on the stage is changed?
