Professional :: Reset MovieClips Turned Invisible?
Mar 7, 2011
I'm rather wet to AS3, and have been working on developing a site that can deal with a lot of content sections. Ignoring the fact that I haven't figured out button arrays yet, I was hoping to get some help on an issue I can't get past.
I've got a series of content movieclips which I'm controlling with menu buttons. As you can see below, they turn visible/invisible by clicking the menu buttons.
However, I can't seem to find a solution to reload the movieclips once a different menu button is selected, so each section stays forever in its previously "played" state when the button is clicked again. Is there a way to get the "content_section" movieclips to re-load or re-set once another navigation button is pressed?
I need to put an image up of a television and have a video of something looping in the center the image of the tv would be just that and a player would really be under the image playing the video.
I started an animation in flash recently and the autosave feature was turned on. I had a good animation, but decided to play around with it a bit. After a little while, I decided to call it a night and exited the program making sure NOT to save my work. Upon opening that file the next time, I come to find out that Flash has autosaved my file while I was playing around. Now I have a worthless animation, and have to start from scratch. Is there any way to revert to a previous save, or autosave at this point, or am I about to do a lot of work again?
I'm having difficulties with a game that I am making. Essentially it is a drag and drop game where you dress a doll. i have my doll on the stage and I have a pair of pants that I am trying to drag and drop onto her. I have turned these pants into a symbol called pants_mc, I have also gien them an instance name of pants_mc.
I have been trying to work out a way to reset movieclips and swf's. I have like a website, and when a button is pressed, a new page loads. This page might be an internal movieclip, or it might be an external swf. I create my movieclips like
[code]...
Everything loads and unloads perfectly. The problem I am having is say I load a movieclip which is several layers deep. For instance spaces_mc loads a page where there is initially 3 buttons. If I choose one of these buttons, I go into the image gallery associated with this button. Say I then navigate to another page, and then back to spaces_mc, I will be displayed with the image gallery I was at before, instead of being at the beginning point as if I was loading it for the first time (the page with the 3 buttons). So I need some way of resetting things. Where I use a loader, I think I could probably use unloadAndStop(true). I am not sure how I can do this for the movieclips though, where no loader is used.
I have several movieclips placed on the timeline that I want to be invisible and not run until the user clicks a button. The movieclips are linked to a class I set up:
Code: class Hidestop extends MovieClip { function onLoad() {
[Code]....
The problem is that some, but not all, movieclips show briefly when they load before becoming invisible. I can get around this by starting each movieclip with a blank frame, but there must be a better way.
I have a moviclip duplicating 200 times and rising off the top of the screen. When it moves completely off the stage, and I want it to move back to the bottom of the screen and rise up again. Right now it just keeps going up off the stage and doesn't replace itself.Here is my code on my movieclip:
I have a banner with big invisible button covering the stage and underneath it I have movieclips which must respond to mouse events. But I can't get through invisible button. I only get button events and cant interact with movieclips underneath it. Here's simple code:
invisibleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTopClick); bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver); function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
I have a page with several input boxes and several instances of movie clips on the stage which have been added with addChild, what i want to do is make a reset buttun that clears all the input boxe and removes the movieClips so that the page looks as it did when it was first loaded but the help files are usless with a specific request like this.
Just new in forum and just new in as3 programming. All i want to do is to make some physics simulations (i'm physics teacher...). So i made my first sim with the following code, just to simulate a simple motion with constant velocity. It works ok, except the part i need to reset the display by the means to start the motion all over again (reset button). Then the motion starts but the traces of the previous motion remains on stage. I tried the null command (sp=null) but the sim could not start again because the sp nedded to be non-null...
I have an issue with adding a reset button to my drag and drop movie clips.The problem is, if a student drags a movie clip to a wrong location on the SWF file I want them to be able to hit a reset button that would take them the same SWF that they opened and what would showup would a clear page for them to restart their drag and drop exercise.I know how to make the button for this just want the proper action script to be able for user to start over with no movie clip symbols on the page.
Ive got my dancing fruit sorted, however when I save the file as an animated gif and put it in my application the gif has the stage background. If it wasnt animated I could edit the back ground in photo shop, but I dont seem to be able to with the animated file. Is there anyway I can just have my dancing fruit with out the stage?
Flash cs4 was installed and worked fine until lately. I cannot draw, use pen, shape tools, or load any previous pictures created in flash using the actionscript 3.0 new doc create. When I click/drag-- the image is there, but as soon as I unclick the image dissapears. Properties inspector shows that there is content but they are invisible. .fla files that I hve created and saved before open, but page is blank. The weirdest thing is that when I open a new doc using the AS 2.0 selection, everything works fine.I am somewhat coherent in the basic functionality of flash, and have tried the obvious i.e. fill and stroke colors, but I don't remember changing any settings.
I'm sure this is something easy that I'm missing, but I can't figure it out. How do I make a button invisible? I need it to be invisible through frame 43 of my movie. I have tried changing the alpha to 0, but it's not letting me change that, except in the edit button mode which changes it for the entire duration and not just through frame 43.
Is it possible to create a invisible mc with in 2 other invisible mc's and if so would there be any complications. Im trying to do something similar and it gets to the second layer but then doesnt want to load the third inv-mc. Like loading an external swf to a container mc then in that same mc have another external load and then another.
I use tinychat and tinypic. Now when I go on either one the text is invisible. I cant see any text, its there cause I can copy and paste it. I did not have this problem until I updated my flash.
Since I animated the movie clip(mc), I no longer see each MC and there are multiple of them. How do I select one MC and drill down to modify some animation?
My items no longer sit on top of the gray area outside the stage. When I try to move an item off the stage it goes under and I cant see it.I am using cs 5.5. I think I must have changed an option somewhere, becuase if I open up a new document everything is fine.
I don't know if it's an AS3 thing, or a Flash 10 thing, both of which I don't work in frequently..... (usually, I'm working in Flash 8, and AS2 for most of my projects)
Basically, when I have invisible content over a button in my flash movie, the button no longer works. Like I said, it's something that's never been an issue before.
Where it shows up is when I want to make a piece of content visible over a button when the user mouses over the button, so the piece of content would start over the button with its alpha set to 0. I would typically change the visibility of the object I want to make visible when the button is rolled over. But now when that object is over my button at 0 opacity, the button no longer works....and again, I've never had this be an issue before.
I am trying to close on as I am attempting to get this incorporated into my website. It came with the recommendation to try the CS5 today to see if this will meet the requirement at the moment.There is a desire to take custom SWF files (I think there is something called Swish files too?) from various sponsors for advertisement purposes and place them on my website.The implementation was straight-forward to make them work through the webserver.I tried a custom example of making a button that upon mouse click would open up a new webpage in CS5 which did work for me.My problem is since the SWF files are finalized, there is no way to put URL information into those files.After doing a lot of searching around today, it appears that the best way to redirect a user upon click of a video is to:
1) Open up a new Flash 2) Import the SWF video file into the project 3) Create a Invisible Button over top the SWF video so when the user clicks, they are redirected to a specific URL.
But for some reason, when I tried to overlay it with a sample SWF file I imported, there was all this flickering going on to where both were made transparent to one another on the screen not to mention the video wasn't even visible at all.My hope was that the SWF video could be seen clearly while the button remained invisbile to handle the click on the video.Is there someone on the forum that is able to guide me fairly quickly with a fast-path procedure so that I can try this?
I have this issue where I'm incapable of viewing any text in the chatlog box, the text entry line, the userlist, or the pop-up Flashplayer option menus when using [URL] online chat application. The pop-up Flashplayer option menus do have outlines for buttons as well as having icons in the bottom-row of buttons yet lack text completely.
***Re-install as officially directed by the site did *not* work even after several iterations. This is becoming a nuisance.
This began after the installation of the latest version of Flash Player about two weeks ago (I've been busy )
operating system: 32-bit web browser/version: Firefox 3.6.3 Flash Player version: 10.1
reset in google yields only its use for timers.However I have code bg.reset() which I suppose puts the background back to the beginning of its timeline.
For some reason when the mask fully reveals the art, the waves stutter (frame 26) and restart their animation from frame 1. I've included a link to download the CS4 flash file. [URL]
I'm creating sort of a game in Flash, which requires invisible hotspots changing their position in time, relative to the stage. The question is: can I simply keyframe the hotspot position and have it work, or is there something that I should consider?
