I'm putting together a site, that has 3 pages and I'd like the content to move into position when the menu button is clicked. So, 3 buttons etc, 'Home, Portfolio, contact" and one movie clip that contains the info. I'm not really a programmer [URL].

I do have a movie clip and inside that movie clip I have used a button in order to control the time line of the MC. I have divided the MC time line in to 4 parts. and according to the roll ove and role out the movie clip works. I want to change the scene when user click the MC clip. How can i do that? I have attached the FLA file to this one.
View 1 RepliesI have 2 buttons (prev and next) that should control the timeline of a moviclip called "container"
but it just doesn't work. at first it moves to the second frame on this movieclip then the container shows always the same content ( it has different content for each frame), the content of the second frame.[code]...
elow sir I am new here in actionscript and i'm using actionScript 3.0 I need to know what correct code to navigate this. First I have a movieClip from stage in main timeline and i use it as an container for my sprite an instance name of "container_mc" and when that sprite plays after it, it will stop and it will appear a button, I need that button to remove this sprite from the main timeline.
View 1 Replieshow to create a movie with a sequence of pictures and controlling the timeline frames with mouse x-coordinates?
View 4 RepliesI want to take a folder with 20 pictures, in some way convert them into a movie. And then apply so that I can navigate the frames one by one in the movieclip by moving the mouse right and left (move mouse left - navigate backwards frame by frame, move mouse right - navigate forward frame by frame).

i have 20 buttons, and i want to design an external file that holds the coordinates for each named button.
how would i go about this, since the external file would be read as a string by flash?

View 3 RepliesI have a movieclip inside another movieclip.[code]...
I can get mc_inside._x and mc_inside._y properties relative to the container movieclip, but how can I get the mc_inside._x and mc_inside._y relative to the _root (the stage)?
I have this XML that I want to use to set the position of movieclips placed dynamically on the stage but I am having a hard time figuring it out.This is what I have in my XML:
ActionScript Code:
<STARS>
<STAR XPOS ="93" YPOS = "44"> </STAR>
[code].....
for some reason whenever i call or define a variable like this:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){trace(k); k = go._y;}
the trace results in "undefined". dose anyone know why and how to get around this issue? it

Basically there's an object in a movieclip. I want to find the location of that object in relation to the movieclip, not of the object's symbol. So when i and look at the x and y of it, it wont show 0, it will show the x and y location in the movieclip it's in.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible? Has there been a thread on this..
View 5 RepliesI've been scouring the web to see how to do this, and now I'm not even sure it's possible. However, it seems there must be way. What I want to do is create a function that will take x,y coordinates and tell me what MovieClip or Sprite is at that location. I want it to happen automatically, without any MouseEvents or anything like that.
View 8 RepliesI have a problem regarding the x, and y coordinates on a flash project of mine. Whenever I set the x and y coordinates for a movieClip:
Code:
function setPos() {
with (mc1) {
_x = 400;
_y = 300;
}}
The MovieClip never gets sent to the proper coordinates.
I am making a banner with an animation (Image change into movie clip "3D Spiral") and added buttons but I cannot get the buttons to control the animation.
View 3 Repliesi have a bunch of movieclips inside a container movieclip.they all have really crazy coordinates, like x: 1590.24 and y: 696.66443i was wondering - is there an easy way to "quantize" them to round their coordinates to the closest integer?
View 2 RepliesI have a movieclip that I am adding to the stage dynamically. The movieclip has to be placed at specific coordinates to match the current text field.The coordinates that show on the INFO tab are x=264 and y= 365. However, in order to get the movieClip to match those I have to set x to 398 and y to 200.If I set the coordinates to those in the INFO tab then the movieclip does not show; it appears off stage.

View 3 RepliesI have a main mc, with another mc nested inside it that needs to reposition to exact x,y coordinates (on four separate occasions). Can I put keyframes on the timeline with a script placed on the keyframes so that when my main movie reaches those frames, the nested mc repositions to the specified coordinates?
View 9 RepliesI am trying to get a movie clip - nested inside another movie clip on the stage - to match the x, y coordinates of the mouse. Attached is an example file both in Flash 8 and MX2004 formats. I can get the drag to occur, but the problem is that the dragged mc's coordinates are relative to it's parent movie clip and not the stage. I have been messing around with localToGlobal with not much luck. I think I may be using it wrong, though. I have left it out of the example file.
Here is the relevant code:
var dragging = false;
this.onMouseMove = function() {
if (dragging == true) {
this.container.drag._x = _xmouse;
this.container.drag._y = _ymouse;
}};

How to position an mc on the center coordinates of another mc embedded inside. inside of my main mc I have an image and mcs above. I want to make a button that says something like: On release center main mc on coordinates of mc inside of main mc. So far I have some code for an on event function:
main_image_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
main_image_mc._x;
main_image_mc._y;
speed1 = 8;
function moveIt(endX, endY) {

I cannot assign _x and _y coordinates in a movie clip dynamically. For example:
for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {
myThumb_mc = "thumb" + i;
myThumb_mc._x = Stage.width/2;
myThumb_mc._y = Stage.height/4;
}
But if I do:
thumb1._x = Stage.width/2;
this works.
I was trying to convert global coordinates to local coordinates of a UIComplenent in my flex project using below code using below code
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
uic is UIComponent in which I have subclass of Sprite for drawing something I have set the sprite's mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false to not interrupt the mouse event. above code is within uic's mousemove event where I was tracing the gp and lp gp was giving correct value and suprisingly lp was giving negetive values. when I move the move to the top left corner of uic i expect lp to be 0,0 but it is giving the -width of of uic. I broke my head for hours and ended up finding an alternate by using offsets. Infact my original code was much simpler like this which was same issue
var lp:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
I am not sure what exactly is causing this problem. the workaround had lot of issues and it creating a mess in my rest of the algorithms.Just now I found even more interesting thing (which is actually weird). for some reason I went and create a new lp2
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
now surprisingly it was giving correct values as expected and I went back and changed the code as
var gp:Point = new Point(e.stageX,e.stageY); //global point
var lp:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp); //local point
var lp2:Point = new Point(e.localX,e.localY);
var lp2:Point = uic.globalToLocal(gp);
now it is expected to have all the lp, lp2 and lp3 variables to be same but weiredly lp two is giving wrong value and lp2 and lp3 were giving correct. I am suspecting using the variable lp has something to do. I am not sure about that but above proves it so right now I am using lp2.
I was reading the 'Isometric Transformations' tutorial by Danko Kozar and I have a few questions. I understand what all the code does, but not how it does it. First of all, how does the following code work:
transforms x,y,z coordinates into Flash x coordinate
xFla = function (x, y, z) {
// cartesian coordinates[code].....
I understand that it converts 3d coordinates to 2d coordinates, but I don't understand how. What numbers whould be punched into x, y, and z to acquire certain desired effects?Also, what's the difference between moveTo and lineTo:
red line
style(1, "0xFF0000", 100);
plot(0, 0, 0);
draw(200, 0, 0);
what i need is to position a Movieclip with coordinates inside a xml file.
