MX04 Interactive Map Project
Apr 20, 2009
I am not exactly new to Flash in that I can do several things with it. However, I am not anywhere near expert status. I am working on an interactive map of a college campus for my employer. I am employing buttons that, when moused over, display a large image of each campus building. The question is this: is there a way to also have maybe an actionscript that would center that image automatically?
In other words, if the building I want to show is on the right hand side of an internet explorer window and I mouse over it, is there a way to have the map auto scroll the window to center the image that pops up on mouse over?

I have been asked to create an interactive flash project where the user would be able to click on a main image and depending on what part of the image they click on, a movie clip plays, then goes back to the main image.
I am sure this is basic, but I have been researching, watching tutorials, etc for a week now and can't seem to get it to work. I am by no means a Flash expert and have really never worked in it. I do more Photoshop and Illustrator-type work. So Actionscript is new to me and really the whole interface is as well.
Would you all be kind enough to help me out? I am going to need some detailed explaination.

I am having a hard time concepting how to structure the current project I have been tasked with. I wanted to make this dynamic, as its for a school that will add or change course sequences. I was thinking of having several movie clips, with one movie clip class that loads in xml information, but then the problem is how can i keep track of the other movie clips and animate precisely one course to another while being interactive?
I know that I could simply draw everything up in a movieclip within flash, but I thought there could be a way to go through an xml file, look at how many <class></class> tags their were, create movieclips based on how many of those are present and pass the xml information within the class to display to the user. I need to use a tree structure, with the user being able to click to each node along the tree and recall the information, when they click I need something visually interesting to happen between the 2 nodes.
So in my mind I am thinking
1.) document class,
2.) reusable movieclip class (card template, with text objects)
3.) a class that takes the xml and passes it to the movieclip??
Its one thing to want interactivity and draw everything, but to make it dynamic to be easily updatable. Is there a way to put a tween in a class to reuse and precisely where to play?

we are doing a seamless interactive video-game-video project, but are having optimization problems. Because the client wants a full-screen option for both the video and game segments, our file size is too big. Any advice on how to minimize load time yet retain a relatively high-quality image standard? The h.264 codec would help with image quality, but there are licensing issues, and we need the transperent alpha channel for the video segments.

I am working on this one project that has a couple of movieclips (already placed on stage) which have a custom class set to export via the Library. Each of those custom classes loads an external SWF using URLRequest().
Is it possible (or, what is the best way) to preload the whole project first, including the external SWFs?

I've recently started making a game in FlexBuilder. The game is currently a Flex project. Is there any downside to using Flex as opposed to just Actionscript? A friend of a friend told me that Flex is slower than an Actionscript project. I've been unable to validate this on the internet; is there any truth to that claim?

I have been asked to loop an existing FLV file that someone else created. I do not know what version of Flash was used to create this file, however I do have an older version 7.2 Flash MX Pro. Currently the FLV starts automatically and stops and the end of the movie. The owner of the site would like the movie to start over with a continuous loop. I'm pretty much of a rookie with Flash and with HTML5 coming out soon, I don't think I'll get a chance to become a pro at this.

I have one Eclipse Workspace containing two projects. - The first is my actual library. - The second is example code for using the library.When I push this code to GitHub, I don't want two separate projects, I want the example code to go into an "example" folder of the second library.How and where would I do this? From Eclipse, GIT, or GitHub?Or is there a better way of including sample code in GitHub projects? (the example code doesn't actually need any version control)

Im trying to make a preloader. this is my first attempt and from a tutorial and some minor adjustments on my part this is what ive come up with. i was wondering if there was a way to add a percent, and also why this doesnt disapear after its done loading. it remains on the stage throughout the loaded swf.
PHP Code:
siteLoader.loadMovie("Population.swf");
loadingBar._xscale = 1;
loadingBar.onEnterFrame = function() {

On to the problem: I have a very simple flash, basically just a photo slideshow. The issue I'm having is this: I have a bunch of photos on the timeline, but I have a button on top of everything, just to give viewers the option to skip that particular scene. The button works, but only when the video timeline has reached the very end of the scene. It won't work before the end of the scene. The button actionscript is the most basic of basic:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(scene1)
}

I'm having a buch of pictures of different height and width, which have to be loaded into different movieclips, and resized to 'bout 100px * 100px (so they're all the same size ~> thumbnails)
The problem width xscale and yscale, is that you have to specify the amount the movieclip/image resizes, in percentages instead of in pixels.
is there ANY way you can resize a dynamically loaded JPEG to EXACTLY 100*100 pixels ?
Here's my code (which doesn't work):
Code:
movieMain.thumbsHolder.createEmptyMovieClip("afbeelding" + j, j);
imageHolder = movieMain.thumbsHolder["afbeelding" + j]; imageHolder.loadMovie(path);
imageHolder._y = j * 200;
imageHolder._height = 100;
imageHolder._width = 100;

ok I have 2 buttons, and they load external swfs into containers everything works fine but it seems like my gotoAndPlay("framelabel") isn't working...
here is the code for the buttons... incidentally they are inside a movieclip on the mainstage... everything else seems to work just fine... also I have my intro and out animations inside the external swfs. I've tried _root.contents_mc.gotoAndPlay("out"); I've tried _parent this._parent and _parent._parent and this.contents_mc.
both buttons will load the external swf but when I click on the other button it should play the out and then load the next swf and start playing the intro (which is the beinging of the external swfs timeline) ANY Ideas whats going on here?

That was supposed to be my first preloader dealing with an XML file and external jpgs ... searched the forum, found something that looked/sounded like it would work, tried to adapt it to my particular situation and ... (surprise!) ... it doesn't work. Let me add at this point that I'd consider myself a "very casual" ActionScripter (if there is such a thing), meaning that most of the time, I try to learn as I go along, without any *real* background knowledge. Here's my situation - methinks it's rather straightforward: SWF file (project.swf), XML file (config.xml) and a bunch of jpgs all in the same directory - nothing exotic so far. Here's the AS I (try to) use in my SWF file to load the xml and the imgs therein:

I want the clips to be displayed in, for example, 2 rows of 3 clips, 6 in total.
By modding the AS to
total = 6;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
t = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("xml"+i, i);
loadMovie("imgBack.jpg", "xml"+i);
[Code].....
I realise that the size of the jpg determines the point at which the second row is displayed so can I do it easily by determining that the third mc has been reached so start a new row?
