View 1 RepliesI'm currently making a website and flash game for a university project but have come across a problem i really cannot solve.
The site is now full functioning and just needs a few tweaks here and there, I started work on adding in the flash game i created.
At the moment on the "games" page there is a button which takes you to the next frame on which there is a movieclip for the game to load into. On this frame i have the following code:
Actionscript Code:
loadMovie("maze.swf", "gameBox");stop();
-maze.swf is the filename of the game
-gameBox is the movieclip i want it to load into
Ok so the game itself displays fine and the character moves as it should but for some reason anything that relies on hit tests now fails to work (walls, enemies, powerups etc.) Everything works as it should when i test the maze.swf on it's own but doesn't when it's embedded into the site.
I have the input text component on the stage. I also have an empty movieclip on the stage called "contain_mc".
My question is how can i create a moviclips of the text that is typed in inside the mc "contain_mc"
so if i typed in testing and hit return then a mc of the text testing would be created inside the "contain_mc"
I need to advance a movie clip onto the stage (that will look like a strip of paper) as the user types in a message from my text input window.Right now I am using this code to display the typed text on the paper, but I need it to look like a printer is pushing it out as the user types in the message and limit it to 50 characters.
import flash.events.*
input1_txt.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, textInput);
function textInput(e:Event) {

I am brand new to flash and AS3, and everything else code related. I've built a simple file with text and audio. The audio is an external file, and it plays with a mouse click. Everything tests fine in flash. I also placed the file in Dreamweaver and previewed in a browser - that's working. But... I've now uploaded the file to a live site. The text shows up but it doesn't play.
View 11 RepliesI'm using AS 2.0 and experimenting. I've got one main movie, with buttons at the top, each button loading a movie into a common movie clip...there are nine buttons/movies in all.Here's my problem. The nine movies have some common elements which seem perfect to put in a shared library. The sharing works, but when I plug the shared elements (either backgrounds or buttons) into the movies:1. Any text typed in Flash disappears (the text is Classic and Static), and;2. The buttons lose their "button" properties. Hyperlinks/AS coding will not work on them. I've made sure the buttons have an instance name. I even tried creating invisible buttons on a layer above the library-linked buttons (having the latter just for show), but strangely, the invisible button, when placed directly above the library-linked button, doesn't work either.
View 1 Replieshow to detect the number of character typed in a dynamic text field.

I want to change the code a little bit by creating an Input Text. A random number will be typed in that text instead of having a fixed, pre-set number.
View 6 RepliesI have a movieclip (named "checklist")with a great number of input text boxes in it. This clip is used early in the my movie (frame 1) and again at frames 20 and 30. The problem is that in the later frames the information the user typed in the first frame is no longer there. Now I could use the var parameter and set it to _root for all of the boxes, but I've been told that the var parameter is a bad way to go. Rather, I should use the name option instead, i.e. "myText_txt". I tried experimenting with objects, but I am not a programmer and so I am probably doing this wrong.
[Code]....
So, I am looking for a best practice. Should I just use the var parameter? That way all of the text fields update when the movie hits frames 20 and 30.

View 1 RepliesAre there any relatively simple programs for building flash applications. I want to add a basic card game to my site, that can keep track of the user's score. The site right now is built in just html, though I will be changing it over to php shortly to implement a log in system. I'd really like to avoid having to learn actionscript on top of it, there has to be some sort of.. basic wysiwyg type flash builder out there?

I don't know much about Flash so understanding how to implement a preloader for my entire site is just a bit beyond me. Basically, I just want a loading bar, "loading" text, and the percentage text (this should all be in AS3). I know that in Flash CS5, a preloader bar is included as one of the components. The only problem is that I don't know what to do with it (and it shows up as blue and white so not sure how to change the colour).

View 5 RepliesBack in 1999, I taught myself how to use Flash (it was before Actionscript). I used it to make a funny website called Mirsk-T: [URL]..I also created some basic HTML on the site's front page to determine whether a visitor had Flash version 4 installed. If the person didn't, then the person would see a page with a link to Adobe's download site.
Now, it's 12 years later and I haven't used Flash since I created Mirsk-T in 1999. I also haven't done any HTML coding either. But I'm having problems getting Mirsk-T to work with certain browsers. The site works fine with Safari, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, and OmniWeb. However, when I access the site with Firefox or Chrome or Camino, I see the GIF image I created that appears when a visitor doesn't have Flash installed. And I know I have Flash installed on those browsers.
I therefore have no idea why the site isn't working with those browsers.
A few more details: The Mirsk-T site consists of two different pages. The opening page is at www.mirskt.com (www.mirskt.com/index.html). It consists of a Flash movie that is a song with animated lyrics. Once the song ends, visitors are taken to [URL]..The page with the song is what's not loading in Firefox, Camino and Chrome. If I directly put [URL]..into the browser bar of Firefox, Chrome and Camino, that part of the site works. So, there's something strange going on with the HTML in the page with the song. I'm guessing the HTML I had written back in 1999 for detecting Flash is not working anymore somehow.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why the front page (the Flash movie with the song) isn't working in some browsers. I don't know if I'm skilled enough to be able to change the HTML even if someone here knows what's wrong. But then maybe someone here could do me a favor and quickly fix the index.html file. I'm guessing it would only take a few minutes for someone who knows what he/she is doing.
