I have a bunch of MovieClip Symbols in Library. They all need to import the same classes for timeline code. I don't want to add the import statements to every MovieClip's timeline.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to embed a 3rd party flash component into my current flash project. As a stand alone, the component works fine but when I try and import the xml file for the component into my current flash project library, the message I get:
" one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them" I have tried importing the xml file into another dummy cs4 project on another machine and again no success, so I believe there are elements within the xml file that will not work with cs4. Below is the xml file code.

I have an swf file, MyRoundButtons, which is a set of radio buttons I built (not components). It works fine, but if I import it into a parent it won't work anymore. I have to write a script to load it into a movieclip, (which I hate, because I'll have a several different swfs to assemble on my final stage. I really want to see them all on the stage together, not just at runtime.)
Even when I load it into a clip and the buttons work, however, it doesn't seem to have a separate timeline when double-clicked ,and:I can't make the imported buttons control the timeline of the parent.I defined a test function:
Code: Select allfunction goToNirvana() {gotoAndPlay("nirvana")};
Frame "nirvana," in th parent, has a Trace instruction in it.
goToNirvana works on its own in the parent. [code].....
Whether I define that function in the child, the parent, or both, the instruction won't work. Now, I'd prefer not to do the loadMovie thing at all if I can avoid it, I'd rather have fully rendered button clips onstage at authoring for me to arrange and move about, with fully independent timelines right there. But you see what I'm trying to do. I just can't get it done.
I have a sound file (.mp3) that I would like to animate to. I am attempting to preview several frames in the timeline to see how my animation is syncing up as I work on it, but no sound plays in the timeline. Doing a publish/preview every time I want to check it doesn't seem like the best option. I've tried CS4 and CS5 and it's the same result in both. I'm curious as to what I am missing, or do you animators out there do something different?
View 3 RepliesEverytime I start my Flex application (as opposed to Air), Firefox is "waiting for.I am pretty sure that namespaces URL are not loaded, so why is Flex reaching out to adobe? Flash update?I am using Flash Builder 4.5ports into the Class?
View 1 RepliesI have a web application written in Flex and I'm trying to build an AIR application from the same code base using conditional compilation.
In the AIR application, I need to have import statements such as the following: import flash.data.SQLConnection; import flash.filesystem.File; but I cannot have these import statements in the web application because they are AIR only classes.
[Code]...
and similar approach to include web or AIR specific functions during compilation. The approach seems to have worked so far The only place I have run across issues is in my Cairngorm's model locator. If I put CONFIG::desktopMode around import statements in Cairngorm's model locator, it starts giving "Uncaught exception in compiler" or "1131 classes must not be nested" error. I'm not sure how to address this error!
I've just imported a Flex component into my project.I have a theory question about importing.all the imports statements in the component source files started with "com.subFolder.etc", but I have preferred to move the component folders into "componentName" and to replace all import statements as "componentName.com.subFolder.etc"
View 2 RepliesI'm wondering if I'm the only one with this error. Is it a quirk or a feature? Should it be reported to Adobe as a bug?I found this out (after a while of frustration) that whenever I have a class in the root folder of the global classpath (or even in the same folder as the FLA, just not arranged into a package), even if I use an "import" statement for a "packaged" class with the same name, the compiler will still fetch and use the "global" class definition.[code]
View 6 RepliesI am having one of those 'self doubt sanity' moments. Entering melt down here ! I want to make a movieclip from a graphic map background, and some existing movieClips that reside in another .fla
In this other .fla file the movieclips are in the wrong layer so by starting over I wish to tidy things up.
How do I create a movie clip from such ?
Then I start thinking, how does one create a movie clip, then bring it into another file ?
I even did a test that went:-
1) create new AS3 file
2) draw a box
3) select box and hit F8 Convert to symbol, select movieclip and name it box_movieclip
4) d/click box and made a classic tween and had box moving across stage.
5) save as and named file MovieClip_Boxtest.fla
6) open new file AS3 and import to library the BoxTween.fla and got a message saying One or more files not imported as problems reading them.
So having done the above stages 1 to 5 which made a movieclip, how do I get that into another fla file ?
I have some .MOV files I'd like to import into Flash, but whenever I impot them Flash freezes up.
By the way, I use Flash 8 Professional.
If I open a new Flash (AS3) file in Flash CS3 Professional and try to import DataProvider (import fl.data.DataProvider;), I consistantly receive a compiler error (1172: Definition fl.data:DataProvider could not be found).

View 3 RepliesI am trying to make a basic timeline for a class but I can't figure out the coding to use. I have worked on an older version- macromedia flash but I can't get cs4 to work for me.What I am trying to do is have a button that is the date. When someone clicks on it or rolls over it information about that date is highlighted. I want the box with the text to turn from grey to white then back.I can make the button and get that to work but I can't seem to get in further on it. Meaning that once I try to connect it to the box with the text everything starts to go crazy.

View 1 RepliesSo I am creating a drag and drop game but the thing is that there is not one question for each statement. Is it possible to have say... 10 statments on the right and one "box" on the left where the statements can be dragged to, if its correct it stays there, if its incorrect it goes back to its original position.

My only issue now is that although the SWF plays when I test the movie, it doesn't play directly on the stage when I press the timeline's Play button. Is there a way I can get the SWF to play using the Play button? I'd prefer to see the SWF so I can add overlays.
This is about a self assessment quiz.There will be four options and each one has a scale from1-5 i.e., "option a" has 1mark, "option b" has 2marks,"option c" has 3 marks, "option d" has 4marks and "option e" has 5 marks and we count the answered and we display the score for example if there are 20 question in it if they answered "option e" 5 times the score will be 25 and option d 5 times the score will be 20, and if "option c" for 5 times the score will be 15,and "option b" for 3 times the score will be 6 and "option a" two times the score will be 2, and we add up all the score and display in a dynamic text field called "score" and the total score is 68.
And I have another dynamic text field called "tsc" where I have to display the tags like excellent , good, better ......etc. Till now every thing is fine but I am unable to compare them it is displaying excellent even if i get 10 marks. If the score is greater than 55 "tsc" should display Excellent, if the score is greater than 41 or less than 55 "tsc" should display Best, if the score is greater than 26 or less than 40 "tsc" should display Better,if the score is none of the above "tsc" should display Poor.
This is my code on the submit button:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("sQ");
if (scor>=55) {
tsc = "Excellent";
} else if (scor == 41 && scor<=55) {
[Code] .....
Where:"sQ" is the frame name where i am displaying the score details"scor" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying total score"tsc" is the var name for the dynamic text field for displaying the tags llike good, Excellent, better, poor.....etc.

I have 2 buttons (prev and next) that should control the timeline of a moviclip called "container"

I've been trying to switch from AS2 to AS3 by forcing myself to use AS3 on every project and never revert to AS2 no matter what the problem may be. Doing this, I've learned a lot so far, and it has shown me that AS3 has the potential to be much more logical and easier to manage, but every once in a while I run into a problem in which research doesn't prevail.
At the moment I'm working on a project that uses the Union Platform. My goal is to make all control over User1's "Reactor" API managed by a single class.
Anyways, I've ran into a very limiting problem that I can't seem to get by. I can't figure out a way to call the root object and be able to call it's functions from a class!
Here's one of the methods that I've tried (No errors were reported, but it did not work) -
main.as:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import net.user1.reactor.Reactor;
[Code]...
As you can see, I tried to pass "this" as a MovieClip in hopes that I would be able to use the MovieClip's class functions. (Which is most likely very nooby and completely wrong since it's probably not considered a MovieClip reference, but what do I know?) Everything is fine, except the swf does not go to frame 2 when readyListener() is called. No errors are outputted either.
I have 3 layers in the timeline, and I want to make a new layer, and then use the new layer to be my first frame (like a startpage).

Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.
I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.
