Professional :: Changing Slide Order In Timeline
Nov 8, 2011
I have been shown how to do a very specific task in Flash Pro CS5. I have five slides in my timeline, with buttons that include links to product pages on our website. These five slides comprise a movie, with each slide being displayed for a few seconds and it repeatedly cycles through the five slides in a banner at the top of our home page. In addition there is a navigation bar below my slide images with a play and pause option, plus the five slide numbers so the viewer can navigate from slide to slide manually. I have been asked to change the order of the slides so that slide #5 now becomes slide #1 and slide #1 becomes slide #2, and so on.
I can easily switch the images and links so that the slides are in a different order in my file, but now the navigation bar below does not work. In the Actions panel, the #1 button in the navigation bar still appears to be linked to slide 1, which now has the new images, yet the nav bar does not respond to clicks anymore. How was my nav bar disabled when I switched the images and links around between the slides? and how can I correct this? I know nothing else about Flash except how to replace the images and change the button links in each slide, which I do monthly, as this is the top banner on our website.

I have 210 jpeg images that are numbered and aranged in order to creat an animation. Is there a faster way of importing them into the time line. Instead of dragging one image on the stage per keyframe at a time?

When I close the file (making sure to save) and reopen it. All the frame #'s attributed to the hand symbol revert back to frame 1.Meaning I have to redo every hand pose again and again and again. More importantly when the animation is approved and I send it off, when the client opens it the animation is incomplete.

I've been making the transition from AS2 to AS3 for the last week and am making progress. But I'm having a problem that hopefully someone can help me with. I'm using Flash CS5. I have a fairly simple Flash website I'm working on. I have sections on the timeline like Home, About, Photos, Media ... all set up using labels for each of those sections. Everything is working fine but when I go to my Media section where I have a video placed (using the flv component) I'm having a problem as follows:
The video auto plays fine when I go to the Media section but when I attempt to leave the section and go to another the sound of the video doesn't stop. It continues to play when I go to another section and if I go back to the section it starts again. The video is not there when I go to another section which is the part that's confusing me. In AS2 when I did this the video and the sound both stopped because you went to another section on the timeline. Why is the sound of the video not stopping in AS3?

I have some movieclips on my stage that are there via timeline. I also add movieclips on stage using addChild.
What is the best way of changing the order of the movieclips because they overlap sometimes? eg.
mc_a is on the stage already
mc_b is called on stage using addChild
Can I change the order of mc_a using script even though it was already on stage?
Can I remove mc_a off stage using script?
How do add mc_b under mc_a so that mc_b does not overlap mc_a?

Imagine I had the movieclip structure below... root - mc1 mc2 - mc3 mc4 - mc5 - ... - mc6 mc 7Where my root has two children (mc1 and mc2), mc2 has two children (mc3 and mc4), etc... So taking mc6, it is a movieclip an arbitrary number of levels down the movieclip hierarchy.
I want mc6 to render as though it were a child of mc1, ie. before mc2 and its children. However, if I simply use addChild(), I would remove mc6 from it's current position in the hierachy, thus changing the transformations which determine it's position on the screen. I simply want to change the point in the order at which it is rendered to the screen (render it before all other clips), but NOT change where it is in the spatial hierarchy (in order to preserve animations etc).
My current way of doing this, is to set mc6 to visible=false. Then I add a bitmap to mc1. Then each frame, I wipe the bitmap and render mc6 to the bitmap using its localToGlobal transformation. However, this is a very wasteful solution since the bitmap needs to be the size of the screen which results in the entire screen being redrawn every single frame. I'd like to retain flash's built in optimizations for only redrawing changed movieclips.
Another way would be to duplicate the mc6 movieclip, and attach the duplicate to mc1 as a child whilst making the original clip invisible again. However, then I would have to update the new movieclip with every single possible change which could occur to the original mc6 - this would get complicated pretty quickly.

I've been following the Changing Stacking Order (swapDepth) tutorial but there's something I'd like to know.In this tutorial, we have 3 buttons inside 3 Mc's. Each Mc is called green, yellow and blue.The AS code for each button is:
Code:
on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
x = 0;
x = x+2;[code]....
What I would like to get is that the MC (window) that I click, goes to the top, BUT respecting the relative position for the others. I mean, in this tutorial, if you run the swf file and put every window a bit one over the other, and click the bottom window, it will come to the top, but the other two won't keep their relative position because the clicked window will be swapped with the one on the top. Understand? (it's very simple although difficult to explain).To make it easier: let's imagine we have 3 papers on the table and I pick up the one in the bottom and put it on top....this is exactly what I want (but in this tutorial, the other 2 papers are moved aswell). I just want that the window I click gets on top of the other 2, nothing else.
According to Kirupa's words, this EXAMPLE here is done using swapdepth aswell, and IT'S EXACTLY the behaviour that I want. Just compare this one with the one in the tutorial and see the different window behaviour.The thing is that I don't know how to do this with "swapdepths". In the AS reference bok it says it can be done but (as usual) they don't tell you how to do it...

I have a movie on stage that acts as a button using the code. person_mc.buttonMode = true;
I load an image onto the stage from my library using addChild(holiday);
What happens is that the person_mc button I have on stage will not function anymore, because I am presuming it is underneath the holiday pic when I loaded it using addChild.
How do I load the holiday pic, so that it is underneath the person_mc?
I know I could do what I did with holiday using addChild for the person_mc, but I do not want to do it that way.

I have an FLA with a section in it where I need to swap between images (one over the other and so on, which I have done using swap depth) what I want to know is if there is a way to make the transition from one pic to the other smoother by using alpha from 100% to zero, thus revealing the picture beneath.

I have made a slider that I am having issues with. This slider is to control the timeline of a movie clip when dragged. My problem with this is that It seems to be duplicating the first frame. When I slide the slider to the right it will hit first tick and still display what is in frame 1 .. then on the next ticks it will continue with the rest of the timeline. how to prevent / over come my slider from doing this with the first frame?

I've recently had the need to use the managers compiler argument, because the project had an Open Type font embedded, and was generating errors at compilation. Now I need to use the same argument in my ant task, but for some reason it doesn't work. I'm using Flex SDK 3.2.
The task looks something like:
<mxmlc
file="${main.class}"
output="${swf.export}"
actionscript-file-encoding="${ENCODING}"
keep-generated-actionscript="false"
[Code] .....
I've tried different variations, from using manager as a child element of mxmlc, to using it as an attribute, and combining it with prefixes (fonts, compiler.fonts). I've also tried to use it as sub-element of the element fonts, but nothing worked. I've considered using a shell task instead, but I'd rather not. For now I've changed flex-config.xml in the frameworks directory of the sdk, and it seems to do the trick, but I'm thinking there's got to be a way to do this in the task. Any exact elements I need to add to the task to make it work, without having to modify "flex-config.xml"?

I know, there is a tutorial about changing stacking order [URL], but the makers were so kind to use Mx files for the .fla's.
[Code]...
When I click one of the 4 buttons, the image related to that button has to move to the hightest position. And ofcourse the previous highest one should be the one under the new highest image. Well, I tried to fix the script, but for some reason it gets all confused and starts switching images, and sometimes none.

how to add a pause using Flash Slide presentation?
If you add a 'Stop' anywhere on in the action script when using the arrow to go back and forward through slides it goes to the stops rather than the beginning of each slide.

Okay so our current assignment in class is to create our own version of the jeremy levine design website. But I am currently stuck and have not gotten anywhere for the last 3 days that I have worked on it.
The problem is when I click on the box to go into the wood grain texture, I want to be able to click on the X box that appears in order to go back to frame 42 in the main timeline. (the x is currently only on the box with the 1 on it.)

I built a functional flash header, that has slides in it with various images. The user can see the main image, and then there are 6 thumbnails that they use to click on to change slides or images.
I am trying to figure out how to automate those slides, so they "automatically" flash though, with an interval of 4 or 5 seconds, then the next slide. (above image are the slides I need to automatically go thru).
Looking into my files, I think I should just be able to apply some actions to each slide, however all the code I tried has been a failure.
So in a nutshell, I have a flash file that has image that move when clicked, and I am trying to have that automated so the slides/image slide automatically.

I have an animation that loops and has different images come up with certain elements on the screen that remain the same throughout the movie. Depending on the image that is being displayed, the url of the link assigned to one of the constant elements changes with the code that I posted below.
The problem occurs when the movie loops because the URL of the constant is supposed to go back to the first link (just like everything else loops and starts at the beginning) but it remains as the last url that was declared.
Here are the three blocks of code I am using for the links, truth is the instance name of the button. These code snippets are arranged in their own "actions" layer on my timeline
First URL
truth.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http:../pages/calculate.html");
[Code].....

The template has a timeline at the bottom of the page. The dates are dynamic based on the data in the boxes above it. If you have 3 boxes, one dated 2011, one 2010, one 2009 it will fill the timeline from 2009 to 2011. I want to change the timeline from numbers to text. For example, if I were to put Baseball in one box, Football in the next, and Soccer in the other I want the timeline to show:-----|----------|------------| Baseball----Football-----SoccerHere is the AS code below.M me and we can discuss them there.
ActionScript Code:
//---------------------------------------------------------TimeLine
function _yrOvrF(param1:MouseEvent) {
