I have a template that I am editing. I have created new layers by duplicating an existing layer. The problem I am having is that anytime I make a change to a duplicated layer it changes the original as well. ie if I attempt to edit the action script on the new layer it changes the action script on the original? It seems as though they are linked and I can not find a way to unlink them??
View 1 RepliesI have the code tucked under a layer of some text, but the hearts end up covering up the text.
View 9 RepliesI have some code that has hearts falling from top to bottom and randomly float off the screen. The problem is the layer order. I have the code tucked under a layer of some text, but the hearts end up covering up the text. So would this be a depth problem? What would be some code to tell the newly duplicated movie clips what layer to appear on(as in appear below the text layer in the timeline).

View 6 RepliesI can't seem to go to a master edit file that is supposed to show both the body (layer 1) and wing (layer 2) of a flying bird animation. Is there a way to merge these two since I'm planning on shrinking it down and making a lot of birds?He merged the two layers at 14:24 of the video without even explaining how he went to this so called "Edit Master Movie Clip" that seems non-existent on Adobe Flash CS4.
View 1 RepliesI want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?

i'm trying to have the text and position changed of a duplicated movie containing a text button. does any one knows how this would be possible?so you have the movie "options" thats being duplicated.in the movie you have the text named sub [code]probably basic actionscripting, but i've been trying more than an hour without any result.
View 1 RepliesIt seems like the random variables in my duplicated movieclips are all the same, any way to change this? To explain a bit more in detail: I got a movieclip with a few random variables and actions and I duplicate this movieclip and want the duplicate to have different random variables than the first one, but it gets identical ones.

Why does it change the original order - shouldn't the output be a,c,d,b,e - whereas the output is c,d,a,b,e? I tried it in both AVM1 and AVM2.
I am having problems with the
getcoord = xycoordMap[x][y].split(":");
xcoord = getcoord[0].toString();
ycoord = getcoord[1].toString();
xcoord0 = xcoord + "";
ycoord0 = ycoord + "";
code... as you can see in the code I converted three times just to verify that I was working with strings. What happens if you run this script, the variables xcoord0 and ycoord0 magicly change in value when they are used in the IF statement (see the traces). What is going on?? what am I doing worng?? Is there an issue with my 2d Array?

I used the example of the "Changing Colors Using ActionScript" from your site to add to a rollover state on a movieClip. It works fine but how to I reverse the state when I rollOut. e.g. goes to black on rollOver and then back to its original full color image on rollOut?
View 3 RepliesI searched and found the code below which works fine to change the color. What do I do to make the color go back to it's original color on mouseout?
pedals.buttonMode = true;
pedals.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, changeColor);
function changeColor(e:MouseEvent):void {
var color_transform:ColorTransform=pedals.transform.co lorTransform;
color_transform.color=0x004433;
pedals.transform.colorTransform=color_transform;
}
Don't know if the flash layer on the view stack contain only the compiled flash swf file
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS5.5. I had some unfinished work on flash 8 and I'm running actionScript 2.0 In one of my scenes I had come up with a good button set up I wanted to use in all of my scenes. So I duplicated the scene, and proceeded to re-name my layers on the new scene according to the new content in the form of bitmaps. Well, on the output I got warnings such as: "duplicated label on layers". My SWF is still showing normally but I don't know what to do with the warnings. Is there something I should have done other than double clicking directly on the old labels on the layers and chaging their name?

I've got an Adobe Captivate file which is pulling through an SWF which I have created. I am not sure exactly how the CP file is importing this SWF but it is.I'd like to ensure that this SWF is on the uppermost layer when the file is published as at the moment it is placed further down the order - which leaves it obscured by other elements on screen. Is there any AS3 code like onEnterFrame or something like that in AS3 which would lift it to the highest depth?

ActionScript Code:

My problem is that I have multiple layers in that movie clip and the code above changes every layer to that color. Is there a way I can change only the first layers color?

I'm using XP, and there is not enough difference in the color of a selected layer and one with extended keyframes that is not selected. At school I use a Mac and there is definitely a blue vs. a gray. On my computer, they are two very close shades of gray.

I'd like to draw key frames in Flash, just simple drawings/skelettons using the pen tool, basically to create the movement itself. After that, I want to export the frames that I drew as images to Photoshop in order to apply texture and colour, and then put them back into Flash again, without tampering with the Flash doc I've already created, since the animation is already done. I want the file(s) that I'm working with to remain the same files throughout the process, from Flash to Photoshop and back to Flash again, like the way InDesign works. Is this even possible?
If this isn't possible at all, I guess the alternative is to draw in Photoshop and then import the drawings into Flash, put them in order and then make any eventual changes after you've created the animation in Flash, this is less smooth though still possible. But here emerges (sort of) the same problem:
When I import images from Photoshop, create animation out of them, and then realize I have to make some changes in the original PS pic file I head back to PS to correct it. But it just doesn't work the way I want it to... If I modify the pic file in PS, then use the "update" alternative in Flash Library, Flash just tells me that the file can't be found, and does not update the image. If I choose the "edit in PS"-alternative from right clicking on a symbol that is in the library, the file opens as a .png file in PS, not as my original file! It seems to me that Flash is creating its own library, not using the existing document. Is there anyway to go around this? How do I make Flash use my PS file which allows me to change it as much as I want (as with InDesign)?
This is driving me crazy, what I'm working on is supposed to be full HD, I can't use a freaking .png file...
I'm guessing this has been asked before but I'm having trouble finding a straight answer. I want to duplicate a symbol that contains text, but when I change the text in the duplicate symbol, the original's text changes too. This is really annoying. Is there a way I can "break" this association to the original symbol so the duplicate becomes independent
