Just starting out with Flash and have run into a problem. I have several scenes with buttons that can be pressed once and then they disappear using: myBtn1.onRelease = function(){ this._visible=false} But when I go back to the scene the buttons reappear. How can I make my buttons be gone forever?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to make a spaceship game and in order to make it look like my spaceship is moving I need to make my circles in the background move forever. I tried using the Continuous Movement tutorail but it makes my circles get bigger when I move my mouse and when I move my mouse all the way to the right it gets faster and left gets slower does anyone know how to change the actionscript for the circle movie clip to make it not do those things?

i sort of asked this before but never got a clear responce to it. this is sort of a two part question. one i have a dynamic gallery of images with a small picture that you click on that loads a bigger picture. I would love to be able to just have one photo that loads into the bigger mc and also the small mc. right now what i am doing is making two size photos a small 47x47 and a large141x141. does anyone know how i can use the same photo for both mc's second question. if that works will it make the small photos take forever to load since their sorce is a large photo?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site.the entire page is built in flash so far. I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons.I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it work?
View 6 RepliesI've got an infographic I'm working on, and every time I roll over an image (a ring) the alpha goes up to 100, then I roll out and it goes back to 50. That much I'm good with.
Then, I click on each one of them, and a movie clip (built inside of each ring/button) pops up and plays. Fair enough.
I've got a script (ugly, but it works!) that will hide all other buttons while this movie clip is playing. But, when I click to close it, I can't figure out a way to make them reappear. I tried putting visible = true again for all of them, but no dice.
The actionscript for it is right below.
I'm not sure if there's anything I can do to make it modal in AS3 or something like that. Or should I go ahead and set it up in a parent/child kind of way (not too well-versed in that regard.
All the buttons to click on are in the same layer and I'm not sure if making them different layers in Flash would make any difference.
stop();
ring1926.movie1926.visible = false;
// add a rollover to make the inside movieclip appear

The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
but when I test my movie, my navigation buttons flash rapidly and make their "clicking sound" over and over and over..... Could this be a "layers" issue? My navigation buttons reside on a "global content" layer which sits below a "sections content" layer..... and there IS content above these buttons on that layer. I'd try re-arranging the layers and testing the movie, but I am not at home right now... and I was curious to see what some of you might think before I got back home tonight.

I'm using a Timer object to move some clouds across the top of a site I'm developing, and I'd like it to loop forever. Unfortunately, I'm getting pretty intermittent behavior. Sometimes the timer stops after a few seconds, whilte other times it keeps looping like it should. It seems to work best in IE 6, some of the time in FF 3.5, and almost never in Google Chrome.I'm doing the timer based on the positions of the clouds. I have two sets of clouds, and here's the related code:
Code:
var globalTweenCloudA:Tween;
var globalTweenCloudB:Tween;
var cloudTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 0);

I have few movieclip play one after another. For each movieclip, i put the streaming sound inside, and there is a button to turn off sound. I created this coding to turn off the streaming sound and it worked well.
SoundMixer.stopAll(); But, the problem is the new streaming sound will play again when it hit the frame that contain new streaming sound. How to overcome this problem? IS using EnterFrame event the only way to turn off the streaming sound forever??
I've added a _root....flvplayback.load("whatever video I want to load.flv"); to different buttons so that I can dynamically load different videos into a single flv player.Thing is, it works intermittently, and most of the time, after having loaded one video via this method, the next video will load a preview Image but will just load forever, and then I can't play any other videos until I restart the swf.

View 4 RepliesI'm having a brutal time with a FLA. The wait time to open this thing is ridiculous, and alot of the time the program will just become nonresponsive. Its only this one specific file, as others open fine. It also has nothing to do with the hardware on my system, as we've tried the file on a variety of machines.The FLA itself contains very little bitmap art, most is vector. It's about 16mbs, but publishes down to a SWF thats about 300kb. There were some complex vector elements which were removed in a fruitless attempt to get this thing to move faster. Trying to "save as.." results in flash writing to a file extremely slowly. The resulting file will progress in size from 2 - 4 mb with about 10 minutes wait time in between. Its becoming nearly impossible for us to work in the file. how I could debug Flash itself to find out whats going wrong on load/save?
View 3 RepliesI'm developing a Flash application that uses several SWF-files. I have one main SWF and others are loaded into this one dynamically. One of the SWF's I'm loading is showing a video clip. This SWF contains code to load and display an FLV-file immediately after it has been loaded into the main SWF. My problem is that I can't find a way to unload this SWF. Once I've loaded it and it starts to play the video, the video keeps playing forever. Even if I remove it from the displaylist it keeps playing. I can't see it, but I hear the sound continuing.
I've recreated this problem in a small project (see code below). In this project I have a simple button that should toggle whether the video is shown or not. [URL] works as mentioned before: it automatically starts playing a .flv as soon as it is loaded. When I run this I get the following as I click the button:
Click 1: Video shows up and starts to play.
Click 2: Video is hidden, but it's still playing (I can hear the sound).
Click 3: Video is loaded AGAIN. Now I can see the video, but I hear TWO soundtracks!

View 4 RepliesI'm doing a photo slideshow and I have 4 photos. I have them displaying randomly with TweenLite, however I have 2 more things I'd like to do with it but I really don't know how to do them. I'd like for the photos to display randomly forever, as if the script would never end. Also, I'm curious as to why only 3 of the 4 photos are displayed when I run the swf.
Here is my script thus far:

import gs.easing.*;
var photoNums:Array = new Array(photo_1,photo_2,photo_3,photo_4);

I'm working on a virtual piano keyboard that processes imported mp3 sound samples. I've come to a solution with this question, but as I run this test code below, the sound loops its last data chunk of each sound source forever, and obviously, I want it to stop at the end of the extracted sound data. The same happens with any extracted sample data, I don't even have to mix it. I added a dynamically drawn graphic waveform so you can visually check what happens. This is my first time using the ByteArray class, so I don't know how to solve this issue.

I have a movie clip with 15 frames. Each frame has buttons on it (mc's)... I was going to put the actions on the main timeline/stage and navigate within the MC from the main timeline. Is that possible? I can get the buttons on the first frame of the MC to work, but I can't seem to figure out how to target/make the buttons on the other frames work? I was thinking I could identify the path of the MC with the frame labels, but that doesn't seem to work. like: _root.RMChanger.(frame label).buttonOnFrame = function
I have to move a text box in and out over the MC backgrounds on the main stage... which is why I was thinking to do it this way? I've been switching back and forth bwtween AS2.0 and 3.0
I'm trying to make a menu that has onRelease buttons on top of onRollover buttons (the onReleases are on a separate layer from the onRollovers). The onRelease buttons take the user to different urls, and the onRollover buttons are supposed to allow different parts of the menu to appear.
The onRelease buttons work fine, but I can't get the onRollover buttons to work consistently. Sometimes the onRollover buttons will correctly advance to a different frame, and sometimes they "stick" and do not advance. The script has no errors and I've tried changing the sizes of the onRollover buttons (in case they were too large and the cursor was hovering over more than 1 at the same time), changing the order of the code for the onRelease and onRollover commands (in case the onRollovers were being superseded by the onRelease commands), and countless variations of the layers and frames.
I'm sure that you'll want to see the script, but I don't think that pasting it all on this post would be reasonable? So I've put the .fla and the .swf on this page for reference: [URL]

View 16 RepliesI am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.

We purchased FMIS and we are encoding large 15+ hour MP4 recordings using flash media encoder. When opening these large files for playback, which have not been opened recently the player displays the loading indicator for up to 4 minutes! Once it has apparently been cached on the server it opens immediately from any browser even after clearing local browser cache. So a few questions for the experts
1. Why is it taking so long to load the file. Is it because the MP4 metadata is in the wrong format and the file is so huge? I read somewhere that Media Encoder records with incorrect MP4 metadata is that still the case?
2. Once its cached on the server, exactly how much of it is cached. Some of these files are larger than 500mb.
3. What fms settings do you suggest I change. FMIS is running on windows server R2 64 bit, but FMIS itself is 32 bit. We have not upgraded to the 64 bit version. We have 8GB of ram. Is it OK to set FMS cache to 3GB. And would that only have enough room for 3-4 large files, because we have hundreds of them.
ok i'll try and explain this best i can, on my site i have a menu that takes up the whole of the content area.. the plan is that when the user clicks the menu button within a content page the menu would appear over the top however with a slightly transparent background so you can still see the last visible content page in the layer underneath.. i've got this to work however the buttons within the content page are still active.. is there a way i can make the menu layer 'solid' so the content below is only visible but not accessible?
