however, I've come accross a problem where in for some reason the application will sometimes move frames when I don't want it to. For example, given the code above it would sometimes go to frame 5, but then instantly move somewhere else from there despite the code saying only to do so when a button is pressed.
I am trying to write a script that generates a random letter, then sends that letter to random destinations on the stage. I have been unable to get it to work. I think there may be a conflict with my code, something that is incompatible with the as3 changes.
if you look at [URL] and check out the amazing background it has! how to place flash background, i know how color changing works, but how does the flash draw the randomly curved lines with gradient, and moves up and down? here is the link to the background flash [URL] as far i can tell, the lines are done purely in action script, because the whole thing is only 47kb
I have a very specific AS2 parent/child movie clip issue, I have a main Character movie clip which contains as nested frames each profile of the Character (front,back,left,etc). Within each of these child profile MC frames, animations for those profiles are further nested in frames.
[Code]...
The problem is that when I try to Character.gotoAndStop('Front'); after key release, flash thinks, you're already on the Front frame (because the walk animation is a child of that MC and is already playing).Therefore the walk animation just keeps playing after the key has been released.Is there an easy, one-off way to fix this?
I am creating a point and click game.In the bottom corners of the screen there are two arrows for changing the area. When these arrows are clicked, the only thing that is supposed to happen is a frame change. For some reason, objects are being carried from the frame they are supposed to be on to the frame that is changed to and they stack up each time the frame changes. I don't even see how this is possible without writing code specifically for it. Here is the code in one of the objects being transferred:
Code: onClipEvent(load) { var DepthCorrection = 0;[code]...
Nothing in that could possibly make it move to a different frame and it has no instance name so nothing can reference it to bring it to one.Here is the code for changing frames:
Code: onClipEvent(load) { var Frame = _global.Area + 1;[code]...
I've had problems with gotoAndStop() before where it went to the wrong frame and only displayed certain objects on that frame.
I was curious to how gotoAndStop really functioned, so I ran a few tests. Results are highlighted for easy skim reading.On each frame, I placed a trace statement, saying which frame is currently displaying.Then, I messed around putting different kinds of code on frame 1.
I have a very specific AS2 parent/child movie clip issue. I have a main Character movie clip which contains as nested frames each profile of the Character (front,back,left,etc). Within each of these child profile MC frames, animations for those profiles are further nested in frames. Then, essentially I have movement code as part of the key listener:
And later code to reset to the character's resting frame after key release: Code: switch(Character._currentFrame){ case 5: Character.gotoAndStop('Back'); break; [Code] .....
The problem is that when I try to Character.gotoAndStop('Front'); after key release, flash thinks, you're already on the Front frame (because the walk animation is a child of that MC and is already playing). Therefore the walk animation just keeps playing after the key has been released.
I've recently had a problem in my application's flow. I was sending an event from one of the frames of a movieclip and the issue was that it was being sent over and over and over when I wanted it to be sent only once. I assumed that placing a call to stop(); at the last frame of the clip would prevent it from looping. This was not the case however. After that I tried calling gotoAndStop(0); to reset the movieclip and stop it from looping. This did not work either. Then I went through my code to make sure nothing else was causing it to play.
I solved the problem by adding an extra frame to the end of the clip and calling gotoAndStop to that frame instead of 0. I've looked around the forums and google for information on this phenomenon but have only found cryptic answers. I was wondering if someone could explain the divine purpose that drives MovieClips to play regardless of whether they are told to stop or not when they get to frame 0 or 1.
I have a movie clip divided into three scetions. The first section starts on frame 6, the next on frame 11 and the last on frame 16. Is there a way to get flash to choose randomly between only those frames (6,11,16)and not the frames in between(1-5,7-10,12-15)?
here is what I am trying to achieve in as3 in as2:
Code: var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*3) if (randomNumber == 0){ gotoAndPlay(1);
[Code]....
on frame 1, 30 and 60 there is a different animation, with this code at the end of each animation it randomly chooses one of the optional frames to play from.
Is it possible to have a script that sends the playhead to specific frames randomly, wait for say 8 seconds then move on?For example, frames 1-20 will have an image on each frame. I want the playhead to land on those frames in a different order and keep looping.
I have a movie with various movie clips on certain frames. What I want is the playhead to randomly jump to different frames I specify within the movie after each Movie clip has played. So at the end of each movie clip there would be a random script forcing the playhead to play another movie clip randomly. My movie has 100 frames but I only want the random sequence to occur on the following frames 10, 13, 25, 86, 75, 56. Or If I labelled the frames how would I label them?? Would they all have to have the same label, or each label different?
To start things off, I use Flash CS3.moving menu that moves on its own when the mouse moves around it. Like the menu moves up when the mouse moves down.[URL]i have found similar tutorials for what i wanted.. but they are AS2 or older versions of flash..and what i needed is more along the lines of AS3 as that's what my class is learning and using.Does anyone know of an AS3 or anything that works with Flash CS3 tutorial thats what I'm asking?
I have a movie clip on the stage and have given it the instance name "team1". inside this movie clip there are two states. at frame1 it says one thing, then at frame 10 has an image. team1 stops at frame 1 and what i want to do is when the main time line reaches say frame 50, i want the team1 movie clip to gotoAndStop at frame 10, thus showing the image and not the text. i tried doing it by putting this on the main timeline at frame 50: team1.gotoAndStop("team");
I am running Flash CS4 and when I go to Import something into my movie FLASH intself moves UP the screen as the dialog box slides down. THis totally screws up Flash. It moved it up so far the last time that I can't use the tools towards the top of the tool bar. Is this an Adobe thing or MAC? Combination? This does NOT happen when you Open something because a normal dialog box appears but during an Import the dialog box slides down as it appears and it then pushes Flash up and off the top of the screen.
I have created an animation by making a series of frames. So now I have a FLA file with the frames in.So far, so good.I can export this as a movie and create a SWF file.I can use this SWF file in a HTML document and get it to display in the browser.This is where I hit a brick wall. I have done a lot of searches but I am getting something wrong. I need to adjust this FLA/SWF so that in the HTML file, when the SWF is first loaded it does not play. If the mouse moves over the object it starts/continues playing. If the mouse moves away it stops playing.
I have a symbol of a shape with a gradient drawn in Illustrator that I copied-and-pasted into Flash CS5. I created a simple motion tween by making the symbol move around the stage and scale. How do I now change the color of the symbol as it is moving on stage?
Recently I designed and programmed a website.... and today I have come (this happens only in internet explorer web browser)Every other web browser like firefox, safari it's loads totally fine.click on the URL link below and click on any buttons in the navigation bar with your mouse cursor.As you can see a quick blink, the flash file is at the very top left hand side before its in the correct position. (underneath the nav bar)It seems that the wmode / transparent is causing it.If I remove wmode - it loads fine in ie.ut I need the transparent / wmode for the drop down menu to work (so its visible while the flash file is there.)
ok we are talking about as2 here. here is the thing thats bugging me. I made an animation in a movie clip. It is in the first frame of my main(and only) scene which is called "main". At the end of the animation in my movie clip ive set up a frame with the following script:
gotoAndStop("main", 2);
but instead of going to the second frame on my main scene, it goes to the second frame in the movie clip and stops there.
I'm making an app in flash as3, but there is a bug in my code. (i guess)
-I can go from frame 1 --> frame 2 -I can go from frame 2 --> frame 3
If i try to go from, let's say frame 3 --> 2, I get this message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.Why cant I go to a previous frame on my timeline?
I have been following Doug WInnie's tutorials on flash, and am up to ep17: http:[url]....He briefly mentions these functions at the end, but doesn't go into any detail: Add event listener and callback function for roll over of the
When I tried doing this, I labelled one frame within the myBall movie clip 'normal' and the next one 'glow' and I added a filter glow to the ball on the glow frame.When I play it back, and mouse over the ball it flickers really quickly between glowing and not glowing, and when I mouse out it returns to normal and stops, but I thought it should stop on the glow frame as well.
I have MC masked with TEXT,when the user moves his mouse down more text appears from the bottom and when he moves it goes bakc to the original position...I do not want the mouse wheel .. I woudl like to do it by mouse hovering...
how to accomplish my current task. I have an .fla with 32 frames in it, an open frame, a close frame, and a bank of 30 frames in between. I want to set up some AS so that once the user clicks a "Next" button on the first frame, it randomly jumps to another one of the frames within the bank of 30. Then, when they get to that frame and view the contents, and click next, they'll randomly jump to another one of the remaining frames. This will only happen for 20 frames, after the 20th viewed frame, I want the "Next" button to take them to the final slide in the series. The purpose being so that each time a user views the program, it's never the same (well not likely ever the same) - so they'll all see 20 different frames in a different order.
I'm guessing I could do this with arrays, and the math.random method, some if/else statements.
I have a mc call mcA which visible and invisible alternatively on stage. I want to attach 10 mc (mc1-mc10) in library with this mcA. When mcA is visible it will attach mc4 in library then it is invisible again. The next time it is visible, it attach let say mc7 and so on, we do not know which mc it will attach in the next session it is visible.
TIMELINE: 3 layers, -- Layer 1, flv video - converted to a Movie Clip. Layer 2, is my button. Layer 3, is my action script. My flv video file was imported and converted to a Movie Clip. My button was created using polygon tool and was converted to a button - and both have instance names.
/////////////////////// MY AS CODE:
lpsample001.stop();
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void { lpsample001.play();[code]............
PROBLEM: Everything functions great, but my flv video file just stops playing at random points, it doesn't even finish playing, and then, when I click my button a second time, it re-starts playing right where it randomly stopped. Why does it randomly stop playing at various points on the timeline?
I'm trying to make an interactive graphic that is randomly generated at the press of an other button. To put this in context, I will have a button to roll dice. the dice numbers with then appear in 6 places on a board. you will then be able to select the dice.
I got some movie clips with different shapes and I would like to make a pattern from those movie clips. I have assigned the x y co-ordinates of those movie clips with the Math.random function. However, the shapes overlap all the time, what can I do to avoid it? I have tried to do a hitTest, but then it doesn't work.
Since the beginning of nov.2010, it crashes after some time of use. More precisely the toolbar disappears, then reappears, some GUI elements blink. It's not related to a specific user action. When this happens, closing flash is difficult (the window remains here). When switching to another app, some Flash parts remains The graphical memory seems saturated. Launching another app is met with a window error message. A windows restarts becomes necessary.This problem arises only in Flash, and with no other apps from CS3 suite.2 colleagues of mine has the same issue, also in the last weeks (= nov 2010). We work in separate places. We didn't exchange files.We are on Win XP Home Edition, Dell computer.They have more recent PCs than mine (which clearly meets the CS3 requirements), with enough memory,etcOne colleague has reinstalled winXP. The problem arised again, but I don't kow when. He also tried CS4 and CS5 and had the same problem.Today he un-installed all Adobe products with this utility:
I am making a game where you have to collect tangerines which randomly spawn every second and bounce around randomly but I need to make them spawn and bounce randomly.
