View 1 RepliesI get the error "Access of undefined property menu_bar" when menu_bar is an instance name directly on the main timeline. I'm not sure how I would call it in the other class. It also isn't exported for actionscript is that the problem?
I have it imported to my document class as:
var mouseClicks:MouseClicks = new MouseClicks();
addChild(mouseClicks);
Then the class looks like this:
Code:
package{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
[Code]....
how can i make a class recognize a movieclip by its instance name?
View 1 RepliesSo i have a drag and drop game that has five answers that you drag to each approriate question. What I'm trying to do is, after they successfully dragged all of the answers to their questions, a button appears which allows the users to proceed onto the next part of the module.

Clearly, the variable "testLine", is one of my custom "Line" objects. Clearly, it has been made with the "Line" constructor. So why won't flash acknowledge this?

I don't recognize the language. I have no idea what I am working with. I have CS3 so I have Flash CS3. I have FTPed what I have and the URL I feel like I am out of my element.
here's a part of my code:
player_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (enemy0.hitTest(this)) {
enemy0.speed = 0;
} else {
[code]...
Note the red code, I need to repeat this an unknown amount yet multiple times but with the number on the end of enemy incremented by 1 each time. It starts with 0 as you can see the code just above the red. I heard about for loops using 'i' but im unsure about how to use it.
edit: ah, this forum isnt letting me highlight red. Everything in this editor is also failing. well, when I say code in red i mean this code:
if (enemy1.hitTest(this)) {
enemy1.speed = 0;
} else {
enemy1.speed = 1;
}

I am attempting to make an app in which you can load an image file from your computer or from a URL. I have the computer file part working fine, but am having an issue when I'm trying to load an image from a URL. Here is the code:
[Code]...
The problem: After the load is requested, it doesn't call any of my events. There are no errors and there is no loading. You can see from this code a snippet of things I've tried to see if there is an error. urlFile.text is a string returning from my flex textInput. I put in a hard coded string instead of the urlFile.text and that did not work. I changed to a URLLoader instead of a base Loader, and that sort of worked (it completed the load) but I couldn't do the image manipulation afterwards that I wanted to do, and I saw in other posts here that a Loader is the correct thing to be using.
I tried something interesting recently. I had code effecting an object with the instance name : object_mc.Now I added another object and gave it the same instance name.The result was, that the code only effected the most recent added object (no error).Is there a way in flash to have multiple objects with the same instance name all being affected by one piece of code?

I am developing an app in Flash Pro CS5.5 to be deployed on the NOOKcolor. I have everything set up for the computer to recognize the NOOK through the USB (was able to reboot the device by using the command prompt window). I can move files onto the device via USB but I want to be able to debug from Flash. I am successfully able to do this with a Droid 2 phone. Is there something on the NOOK that has to be set up for Flash to recognize the NOOK as an android device that it can debug on?

I have a custom class and inside its constructor, I need "x" and "y" arguments passed on. Now when I call the class and create and instance of it, flash should pop up "the code hinting"...(but it doesn't), or am I missing something???
I am using onLoad and onEnterFrame events to dynamically align my_mc. The problem I face is the following:When I put my code in the mc instance it works beautifully but when I put it in the timeline it does not work.[code]I assume it is something tiny, perhaps it is an issue with the correct paths of x and y. I tried in many ways changing paths to this._x and my_mc._x but unsuccessfully.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to rename slides dynamically in a Flash presentation that is created using the Flash Slide Presentation template in Flash CS4. So, if I have a presentation with 50 slides and they are named 001 to 050 and I need to insert a slide between slide 010 and 011 is there a way to have Flash renumber them or do I have to just manually rename.

Have recently made a few educational activities which are experiencing performance problems on older machines. Basically, tweens are not completing and causing things to behave strangely.I don't think it's the well-known garbage collection problem with tweens not completing as I use TweenMax for all the tweens. Also, on any half-decent machine, everything works correctly but if tested on an old laptop it all goes a bit wrong.
EDIT: I've not got around to adding a pre-loader yet so things might take a while to download..
I happen to have this real massive code for an object in my game.(please guys dont move this to the game section the problem has hardly anything to do with that) One of them is a propane tank, the other a box and the third is a barrel.(it doesnt really make much diff i just want you guys to get a better picture of whats going on)So inside of each movieclip i put in this MASSIVE code.
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
var right:Boolean = true;
}
[code]....
it works fine but when i put in an instance name the whole thing messes up.only one of them works and all the others follow commands from the same one. so lets say if presse is true for the working on, presse will be true for all the rest. The problem still happens if i use different combinations of objects like 3 crates or 1 propane tank and 2 crates. Can someone please help me find a solution without changing the instance name. By the way '_root.hater' is the character.

View 1 RepliesIs there a bug in the as3 tween class that causes tweens to stop before completing. I read that there is and that a 3rd party tween class should be used. I'm just starting out learning as3 and experimenting but this would be good to know when I move onto more complex projects. Also the solution for this was to make your function global. Does this simply mean place your function in the top level of your movie.

I'm having some problem with a alpha tween, it works well when loading pictures then fades them IN and OUT but when I load a movieClip it only fades IN to, maybe 50%, the video object remain transparent. When I CLICK in other button before fades OUT, the movieClip fades to 100% and then it fades OUT.
The project is a XML gallery that loads images and movieClips (all external), the movieClips work like a container to one image (like the other pictures gallery) and one Youtube video (that remains over the picture).
If I remove the fadeIN tween all works fine, I think the problem was in the Timing of code compilation but I can't solve it out.[code]...
I'm trying to create the following application:There are 5 different (non overlapping) MC's placed on a still background. They each represent a parcel that will unwrap itself by clicking the corresponding button (invisible button laying over the MC). I want to accomplish two things:1. The viewer must be able to click each of the buttons at random, which should leave each of the buttons disabled after the first time being clicked. A parcel should only unwrap itself once.2. As soon as the last of the 5 parcels has been unwrapped (Each MC stops automatically: actionscript on last keyframe MC), a new MC should start playing automatically (continuing the application). Thus without having to click anything additionally.I hope there is somebody who can make any sence of what I have tried to explain.
View 5 RepliesFor some reason the x++ loop to move clip doesn't work. There must be an easy fault.
cX=iButton[i].x;
while (cX>iX) {
iButton[i].x=cX;
cX--
}
It should move a thing smoothly, as I understand it, but it doesn't. It completes the while and then shows the iButton at iX, completing the loop without showing a thing meanwhile. I even put a 1000-count for{} loop to slow it down, but it just delayed the final outcome. I also tried to move the moving to a separate function, and into a package. (It's these menus I want to slow down.)
I want to make a somewhat virtual Windows environment were-as when the program says they need to right and then do it will act just like Windows in giving them a right click list etc with the usual copy and paste on. But where do I start?I know you probably get the whole were do i start alot but its bugging me and i could do to get it finished asap which is a shame
I know the main thing would be to start of simple and then work on it over time and so I think the starting point would be to get the right click issue going but I'm not sure how. I found This Archived Page when searching but I'm not sure how to implement the code or were to add the next image (if it is called image ) to show the right click menu.
