I am thinking there is a easy solution to this, but the more button clicks and the quicker button clicks between my 3 buttons (which load a movieclip each time), the "laggier" the SWF gets. [code]...
View 1 RepliesI've got a three year old site in actionscript 2 and something odd happened today.I had to change something in the fla, tested the swf and uploaded it to the server. When I test the swf in flash or just open it manually, all is fine, texts are okay.But whenever it's in a htmlpage (using swfobject or the standard flash method), all the multiline textfields turn from horizontal to vertical expanding text, so a large column of 1 character.Even my backup site acts the same way. It's driving me crazy. And my client.I installed a couple of new browsers a couple of days ago, and I remember I had to update my flashplayer. Maybe this is relevant? I just don't know.
View 1 Repliesthe 3 externally loaded SWFs rotate with fade in/outf effect on their own as well as per button click. What I would like to add to it is having the the buttons change appearance (Tint or anything) - just to show which slide the user is currently seeing. here's my code:
// Attach Musicvar req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("squeeak3.mp3");var sound:Sound = new Sound();var controller:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var b:Boolean;

I have images I want to display on the stage one at a time, so I thought of creating some sort of object that contains an image that can change dynamically by code. How can I do this?
View 1 RepliesI just had a quick stupid question. I'm trying to write a code that switches back and forth between a certain color. If you click it, it turns green, if u click it again, it turns back to its normal color and so forth.
I tried just using a function in the timeline but it doesnt seem to be working:
Code:
function colorSwap() {
switcher = 1;
btnn.onRelease = function() {
[code]...
Can flash detect when the user switchs focus to another window?
If it can then is there any event that fires when it does?
I have a home page and five other pages. The five pages have a main menu at the top containing buttons that allow you to go to the other pages:
on(release){
gotoAndPlay("gallery");
}
I have an actions layer. Each section has the following action in the first frame: stop(); When I view the website the home page works correctly. However, any page with the main menu automatically switches to the next page after about six seconds. The code seems pretty straightforward so I have no idea what I'm missing.
What I'm looking to do is have a flash player that constantly plays a loop of videos, but it automatically switches to our live stream whenever we start the encoder. Is this possible, and if it is...how can I do this?
View 2 RepliesHi,I'm trying to use NetStreamPlayTransitions.SWITCH to create a multi angle view that switches between video streams. The issue I'm having is that NetStream.Play.TransitionComplete is called only after the buffer for the video before it is used up(this makes sense when using SWITCH to go between bandwidths but that's not what i'm using it for). Is there a way to force this switch before the buffer of the previous video is used up?
I've looked into SWAP but I can't really find any documentation on it. What I ideally would have happen is the next video in the array is triggered, that video is buffered and when there is enough to play it the stream switches to that one. SWITCH works really nice because there is no jump in switching when it's played but I just don't want the buffer to play out before the switch.Is there a way of maybe clearing the buffer of the playing video before i call SWITCH so it transitions quickly?
I have a simple flash that has 2 layers 2 images. one image is on the first frame and the other image is on the second keyframe. Actionscript starts on 1st keyframe. What I have it doing is loading frame one stop() reads the actionscript checks the date if the date is met it goes and stops on frame 2 and plays other image:
Everytime the flash refreshes it plays frame one then jumps to frame 2 if the date is met. How do I avoid playing frame one if the date is met what it's doing is playing the first image before the date change and a split second after it plays frame 2. (you see a hiccup)
i need the flash to "preload, check the actionscript before it loads if the date is met automataclly go to frame 2 avoiding frame one all together.
actionscript used on frame one:
stop();
var year:Number = 2012;
var month:Number = 3;
var day:Number = 22;

I have this four draggable movieclips. I have able to drag the green bar within the gray bar and the dynamic percentage text increase/decrease accordingly.
The program should make the second draggable determine the percentage of the first (100 - current value) and make it the basis for the other 3 draggable.
Example:
if the 1st draggable will be 75%. the other 25% will be divided by the other 3 draggables.
The 3rd draggable determine the 2nd percentage (100 - current value) and make it the basis for the other 2 draggable and so on.
When I drag the 1st draggable the other 3 is drag & animated accordingly but I cannot drag the 2nd, 3rd and 4th draggable.
I was wondering if it is possible to have a movieclip that you can like export and then share in multiple .swf files. This, without importing them from external libraries in the .fla files afcourse. So like i have a movieclip containing different type tile bitmaps (i do that why im asking) I use these tiles in the editor and in the game .swf; Changing the(adding to) graphics has me importing the mc from from one .fla into the other. Is it possible to make mc in a .fla, export it and dynamicly import it? Or can I read the library from the other .fla dynamically?
View 5 RepliesTheCanadian helped my figure out my code here yesterday and now I am having another problem.I have a parent MC (legend) that usees a button action and child MC's inside that has actions as well. I have multiple parent MC's (not just legend....legend1,legend2,etc). How do to duplicate this code to work for each? I tried copying and pasting the code and changing legend to legend1 but, it does not work correctly then. When I rollover one MC, one or all will alpha fade up as well.how I can get this code to work on multiple MC's on the stage?:
Code:
#include "lmc_tween.as"
//legend
legend._alpha = 10;
legend.over_mc._visible = false;

I'm currently programming in AS 2.0, and I'm trying to get a piece of code to work. I have a movieclip that is deployed when the user clicks a mouse button, sort of like a bombshell being dropped on an area.
However, when I run it, it's quite obviously only registering one of the hitTests, because _parent.sprite_counter only decrements by one, regardless of how many enemies are destroyed. That's the other weird thing; no matter what, even if the counter never decrements, the movieclip still is removed.
Is it because you've got several movieclips simultaneously trying to decrement the same variable?
Basically, on my stage, the user can select a bunch of different weapon parts and each 'part' has its own movieclip. Once the user has customised a full weapon, I need to give them the ability to convert the entire array of parts into a single movieclip so that I can then use that generated weapon (move it around in a game) without moving the individual parts around.

View 12 RepliesI've built a dropdown menu movieclip that I need to use in a contact form- or more specifically, I need 2 dropdowns with different options in them in the same form. My problem is that when I change the properties in one instance of the dropdown_mc, it changes the properties in the other as well. The two clips have different instance names, and I've been changing labels of the list items by clicking through to the actionscript imbedded in each dropdown (not through the dropdown_mc in the library). There must be an obvious solution to this that I somehow didn't catch....I've even tried dragging each dropdown from the stage back into the library and creating a new movie clip with a different symbol name and they're still connected. Do I need to create an entirely new copy of this dropdown with different instance names

View 1 RepliesI am working on a project which looks like a crossword puzzle. When you mouse over on the white boxes they will light up. When you mouse over the letters they will have 3d rotations and when you rollover only some specific letters, they will flip some specific boxes.
Right now what happens is, when you mouse over the boxes with letters on them, the letters will rotate but the box will not light up. This is because I have created the box movieclip, with the invisible button inside it, and then just duplicated it in my scene to create a tile. But the invisible button for the letters are on the scene,so it's kinda overriding it.when I tried having the buttons on the scene rather than inside the movie clip, what happened is when you roll over one of the boxes, all of them will animate.

I'm having trouble creating multiple instances of one movieclip. I've got an array set up that loads photos into flash and places them in a grid (sort of). I want those photos to have outlines around them. So, i created an outline. Now, when i try to place it on all of the photos, it will run through them and only apply itself to the latest photo (one instance overwrites the others). How do i make multiples of the outline?
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there is a way to load multiple png files onto one movie clip without the images overlapping? I'm currently I am creating multiple movieclips for different images and I think I reached the level limit that the flash player can handle, because I have other layers in the timeline whiting out after everything loads.
View 1 RepliesI have the following code on frame1 of my movie that I want to apply to multiple instances of the same movie clip:
mainClip_mc.subClip1_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//code begins
SpecifiedClip_mc exists in subClip1 through 4. Is there a way to do this once without having to say:
mainClip_mc.subClip2_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
mainClip_mc.subClip3_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
mainClip_mc.subClip4_mc.specifiedClip_mc.onPress = function () {
//same code
Essentially, specifiedClip_mc's parent clip is what's throwing me here. The code to be applied to specifiedClip_mc is identical and I'm not going the correct route by doing this the long repetitive way.

Beginning with actionscript, I need help with this: Several movieclips are on the stage with a button event assigned to it.
Example:
btn1.onPress = function(){
bubble.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
I want each one of them to be clicked for another movieclip to be loaded. I would need a code example for doing something like that. I tried many things...but since i'm really beginning nothing seems to work.
Here's what i've got...
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
_root.attachMovie("flag_mc", "flag_mc" + nextDepth(), nextDepth(),{_x:_xmouse, _y:_ymouse});
}
My problem is that it only adds one instance of flag_mc to the movieclip. When I press the mouse down again, it removes my old instance and puts a new one. Is it possible to make it leave the old one and add another?
I have a movieclip with one armature inside, and I want to make some instances of it. But after the registering of the armature, with registerElements, only the first instance's bones can be used/moved.
View 6 Repliesi want to have the same movieclip showing up multiple times at different locations on the screen. i don't want to create multiple instances just cuz it seems less "efficient", so it'd be neat if there's a way to do this.essentially what i'm trying to do is have a the user see the same movieclip but with different things on top of the movieclips, and if the user does something to do the movieclip in one location (ie: click to change a tile in the movieclip), i want that to take effect in all locations.i could just add event listeners to each tile in all the movieclip to have the same effect independent of which movieclip you click the tile in, but i'm hoping i can avoid this.
