IDE :: Shifting Of Movieclip Containing Static Text/same Xy?
Mar 2, 2009
I have an odd situation where the static text each within a mc for a menu are shifting slightly up and down despite having the exact same rounded x/y values throughout on the timeline in the properties box. There are a few frames on the timeline where they are contained within another movieclip to fade them in, and when I zoom in and make sure they line up exactly, they are fine, but when I play the movie back at various magnifications within the authoring environment and as an exported swf, they randomly shift slightly. Sometimes they randomly shift, and other times at the same magnification they don't at all when replayed back again. It's making me pull my hair out and grind my teeth because I don't know if I am dealing with a known bug or (more likely) my ignorance. I know there is a better way of doing this all with action script, but honestly I am not there yet by a long shot, unless someone could direct me to a proper tutorial.

I am new to the forum, I have used Flash MX 2004 for quite a while and had never had this problem, recently I gave my site a "facelift" in CS4 and I got it exactly how I wanted it, I exported the swf file and saved the flash file. That was a few days ago, Today I wanted to add a new piece to my portfolio so I opened the same exact file today and everything had shifted! SOOOO FRUSTRATING as I felt I had finally achieved what I wanted to. This is the one I was really happy with:

I am trying to scroll a movie clip with a static text filed. Everything works fine however, my mc won't scroll. SWF attached.
Here is my code:
var scrollUpper:Number = 19;
var scrollLower:Number = 121.5;
var textLower:Number = 2.0;
var textUpper:Number = -72.5;
var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;

I have a movieclip with static text inside of it. The width (correct one) of the movieclip is 204 px, this is what it even reports after dragging it from library to stage. However, if I export the movie and trace the width of the movieclip, I get 214 px. Inside of the clip is a static text field - it is not wider than the clip and it is not even filled up with text completely. Now if I change it to dynamic text and I export the movie, I get the correct width - 204.

Everything works, but when I roll over *some* of the links, some of the text sort of repositions itself, and then moves back when i roll out of the link.

Does anyone know why text put into a dynamic text box would look different than the same text with the same font, size, etc in a static text box. The dynamic text looks jagged and pixel-y, while static box looks normal.

var rssURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://teachercenter.scps.k12.fl.us/education/rss.php?sectiondetailid=69411");

I have a MC, BalanceMC, that includes a small animation on the time line. The BalanceMC.as class includes a function, MoveBalance, that needs to determine what frame the playhead is at. I am getting a compile error when I try to get the currentFrame. This is the error: 1195: Attempted access of inaccessible method currentFrame through a reference with static type BalanceMC.
package { import flash.display.*; import flash.text.*;
public class BalanceMC extends MovieClip { public var thisFrame:int;
public function BalanceMC() { trace("BalanceMC"); this.gotoAndStop(1); State = 0; }
[code]....
So, what's a static type movieclip and how can I determine the frame number where the playhead is?

I'm working on a small networked game (server is written in C# ready to go). I've completed all of the networking classes utilizing xmlsockets (socket handling, packets etc). My issue is once you get to the login screen and attempt to authorize a packet is sent depending if your login has been accepted so if it has you delete the login movieclip and show the game movieclip but I can't access it from my static class (it was created on the main stage).

I am currently building a commercial website, and am stuck on the functionality of a 'Featured Businesses' animated graphic. The functionality is there, it works, but the problem is, I can't figure out a proper way to make it so that when one button is pressed (that is behind the others on the timeframe), how can I make it so that all the frames/layers (which contain the other buttons) go behind whatever button is activated?
As I said, it works, the problem is that all but the last button (which is the top layer) are obscured from view by the other buttons/MC's that are on top of it as far as the timeline is concerned.!
I tried messing around with the objectdestroy function, but this is my first foray back into ActionScripting since I scripted my last 2D platformer way back in 2005 when I was using Flash MX and before Adobe took control. So I'm rusty.
The link below should contain the .swf of the functional graphic. As you can see it works, but the top buttons are behind the others, so you can't see their animation fully.=

How do you mix static and dynamic text in one sentence?I want to display This audio is ::totaltime:: minutes long.Where ::totaltime:: is a variable determined in the ActionScript 2 codeCan I do this in a text box on the stage or does it need to be done in ActionScript 2? (I'm not using AS3, even though I'm in CS3.)If it's in AS2, I'm not used to outputting text from there, so how do I specify that the text be embedded Helvetica, 12pt, black, and starting at x:0, y:65 ?

I converted a static text field to a mc then thirty frames later inserted a keyframe and droped the mc's alpha to zero.. then created a motion tween between the keyframes... yet for some reason the text isnt fading when I test the movie... it works fine in the flash authoring environment as you click through the frames but it doesnt in the test movie mode.. any suggestions? ( i broke the text apart down to shapes and it worked fine, but that of course will cause indexing problems for content with google so this really isnt an option)

im currently workin on a game in my spare time and have come across a few problems. I've gone back to basics to figure out a redesign of my code using functions.
Here's my initial problem:
I have a button, which when pressed will shift a sprite 100px to the right. I wanted it so that everytime i pressed the button, the sprite moved a further 100px from it's stopped location. So basically if it's moving and you push the button again, it'll do nothing. It has to be stationary in order to move. At the moment my code shifts the sprite when the button is pressed, but it just keeps moving forever and doesn't stop

I just ran some tests on round numbers.In preparation for getting max performance from AS3, I want to test as many areas as possible.All I did was generate a rounded random number a million times per frame, and record the time step in milliseconds.[code]Now the strangest part is having a non rounded random number generated a million times per frame netted an average time of 195 milliseconds, faster than using int as a random number. It must simply be that because Math.random isn't returning an integer, some form of conversion of taking place for your variable to be an integer.
Incidentally, using a Number instead of integer for the looping variable decreased performance minimally, just a few milliseconds.So simply having your variable as an integer, and using no rounding at all produces the fastest results if you want a round number.Remember though, there are many other areas in Flash to dramatically increase performance. Being that we're talking about a million iterations per frame, the difference in performance is not exactly dramatic here. One is not even twice as fast as another, over a million iterations.

Have a text box and would like to hyperlink some of the words in the text (this is a basic, static, text box). How in Flash CS5 / AS3? Do I actually need to set up some sort of event listener for something as basic as this? And if it's not one of the 3 symbol options, then how?It's not as simple as selecting and going to the properties to find the field anymore...

how you can go about applying a scroll bar to a static text box? The reason that I don't want to use a dynamic text box is that I can't specify a font and have it actually publish that font.

I have created a static text in my FLA file and for some reason when I convert it to a movieclip symbol, my setting of the text - such as the letter spacing - are no longer. It scrunches together and looks pixelated. Any knowledge as to why? It was not doing this a while ago but I don't see what I have changed!
