I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong for this simple task. I have a sheet and right now I only want to use a small portion of the sheet. I try to click on the sheet and it moves around. I lock it, and I can't select any part of it. How do I separate it?
BTW does it matter if it's a symbol or just a PNG sheet?
I'm trying to seperate my projects along a horizontal and vertical row, for every project the images are shown vertically one after the other, then when the </project> closes and a new one opens a new column is created (creating the horizontal row).
i am almost there with it, i think i just need an if or for each piece of code to separate out the projects but i cannot figure it out.Here is the important part of my code:
[code]....
In my code I have SWF A and SWF B.
SWF A loads SWF B.
The problem that I have is that both of the SWF's have a class of the same name but that have different member variables.
So from time to time depending on the scenario conflicts occur.
How can I avoid this?
I remember reading before about being able to separate the classes of two different swf but I can't find the article again
I recently began a project and soon felt that it would be useful for me to have my users put a code into a TLF text field, such as 0123456. The user then clicks a button and each character of the text field are put into several variables.
For example:
Code:
variable1_var = "first character in text field"
variable2_var = "second character in text field"
/* This would be repeated up to variable7_var */
variable1_var would equal 0 and variable2_var would equal 1, so on and so forth.
well i have this string im receiving from an URL: "245500" All I need to do is separate all of the characters, so it would gimme back an array just like
PHP Code:
Array = ["2", "4", "5", "5", "0", "0"]
I've tried using .split(), but since it does not have an index (like a comma or dot), it won't do..
I Have been working on a collision detector based on the seperating axis theroem as explained here .[URL]..
And i am working on a polygon vs polygon collision example. I have put together a Veronoi Regions Test in flash but i dont kno whte correct way to find if a the closest point or axis inside on of my regions or even to determine if it is in these areas. Can someone please help me.
Right now I have an array with a bunch of different file and folder names in it. I want to separate the files and folders in to two separate arrays. How would I check the arrays to see if the elements have a "." in them, and then if they do have a "." in them, put them into files array.
View 3 Repliesi have an xml file .... i have imported it into flash mx 2004, tutorial i have even applied css properties to it ( i know thats prop easy for most of you guys but im happy ) my question is this ... i would like to rotate messages on some kind of timer ... ie xml file - ( im guessing at this point cos its worked so far ... )
<message>
<caption1>this is caption 1</caption1>
<caption2>this is caption 2</caption2>

flash action script ... what i would like to achieve... the flash file to import the xml file into a dynamic text box which i have done, but at the moment it is showing all the captions in one go .. i would like to show.. caption1 .... wait X amount of time ( a variable in seconds ? - how would i do that ? ) a motion tween to get rid of the message ( not sure what yet but i understand the basic principles so will experiment and be creative ) caption2 .... etc.
I've got some dynamic text (from coldfusion) coming in to my flash movie and I need to turn what's coming in into a bulleted list. right now it's a list of features delimited by commas like this: Anodized aluminum deck construction, anodized aluminum t-rail, extra heavy vinyl, Nextwave electrical system, etc., etc. Is this possible with actionscript?
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to call different data from a same text file? In the tutorial about the dynamically loaded text, the example was "kirupatext=" and the text was loaded from after that in the txt file. Is it possible to make it stop loading after a certain point?
For example,
" kirupatext=
Hello There!
I am an example of text that has been loaded from a separate location on kirupa's server. Best of all, notice that you can scroll the contents of the text up and down by clicking on the arrows. This is a nice, useful feature that you can use on your site."
How can I make it load only up to "Best of all"? Is it possible to break up the text into 2 parts so that they are loaded by different text boxes? i tried adding another marker like "kirupatext2=" at another point, but it just gets loaded along with the first "kirupatext=".
What I want: The thumbnails for the gallery (but not the larger image) must be visible on all pages. When one of them is clicked, you will go to the corresponding larger image in the photo gallery.
What I've been able to get is this; [URL] (note: there are no pages other than the initial page and the photo album, its still a WIP)
It's close to what I want it to behave like, the only problem is that each thumbnail simply links to the full gallery .swf, which always starts at the first photo in the list.
I have thought of using a single .swlf and resizing the stage when a thumb is clicked, but thats not a very elegant solution. Besides, it might not even be possible.
Is there a way to make it so that when you click a link in the 'thumbnails only' swf, it will link to the corresponding large image in the 'full album' swf? Or is there maybe another way to approach this whole ordeal?
I'm about to make an animation where a whole world map separates from globe/ball. Kind of coating/jacket that opens from 3d ball to plain 2d surface.
View 1 RepliesI have a series of buttons on a page that I want the user to be able to re-arrange. To do this, I have a MOUSE_DOWN event listener that triggers a startDrag. However, these buttons are also essentially menu items so when user clicks on them, they should load the appropriate URL. I don't want them to act as menu buttons when a user is trying to move them about. I have three event listeners on each button, one for the MOUSE_DOWN and one for the CLICK event and one for MOUSE_UP but the function associated to the CLICK event also fires on the MOUSE_UP.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know how much it would cost to create sheet input in flash like in this site [URL]..what knowledge do I need to have, to create it on my own.
I haven't worked with flash yet, that's bad, but language itself is not problem for me. The methods I need to know is the problem for this. My goal is so that user can input notes with his keyboard, and after he presses button in page, I get inputed string as letters, not as notes.
I am developing a small application, where the user can change the color of a box from a radio button(a-red or b-green). as soon as he changes the color, the respective color value(0xFF0000 or 0x5CBC32) should be updated in an xml sheet which is kept in a server.
i would prefer asp because the xml file will be placed in a windows server.
xml sheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<colors>
<boxes>
<box1>"here only i want to udpate the color value chosen by the user"</box1>
</boxes>
</colors>

View 1 RepliesSO I am working on animating a 20/fps sprite (an SCV from Starcraft 2). The animation is 1 second long, and thus 20 frames. I have made a sprite sheet in photoshop, and have each frame as a separate layer. I import the PSD into my library and have it convert the layers to "Flash Frames". I get each frame nicely tucked away as a layer in my library. Problem is, it gives an ugly white border (about 1 to 2 pixles thick) around my sprites, making it look like I did a terrible crop job. However, the crop job is fine (I can change the background in the PSD to black, and the cropped sprite frames look perfect! What have I done wrong or need to do?

I am trying to get bitmapdata from a loader to be able to use my tile sheet for blitting. I seem to be unable to get it to work. After some testing I noticed that none of the code after this piece is executed in the SWF, so apparently it always freezes at this point:
ActionScript Code:
tileSheet = (evt.target.content as Bitmap).bitmapData;
bmp = new Bitmap(tileSheet);
addChild(bmp);
Obviously I am doing something wrong.

I am pulling a blog into flash through an XML sheet. I have a clip in the library that gets attached per blog entry. The issue I am having right now is not all the posts are the same length so I am trying to adjust the clips background to the height of the post text box, but they are all reading as the same height so they aren't properly adjusting. I even have the text boxes set to autoSize = true;

I'm making a vertical scroller with a mask. The content is inside a movieclip and the user scrolls around it.My problem is, I have lots and lots of content to put inside that movieclip, and I've reached the limit of the sheet. All inside the movieclip. How do I resize the sheet/canvas inside the movieclip so that I can put more info in it??I've googled it, but found nothing.Note: I just want to change the size of the sheet/canvas inside a movieclip and I don't want to change my document size. I'm using flash CS3, AS2.
View 3 RepliesIn Flash I am able to create a font asset and add it to the library:I want to convert this asset into some BitmapData that will contain all of the characters with the correct letter spacing/line height etc.
Is there an inbuilt way of doing this other than manually creating text fields, adding a character, using BitmapData.draw() and then adding the result to a sprite sheet?
If I need to do it manually like above, is there a way to retrieve all of the embedded characters? For example, in the above screenshot I'd expect only a-z, A-Z. Or will I need to note these manually as well?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to generate an animation containing all the frames from a sprite sheet. Then also append them again but flipped vertically. I have an animation class to create the animation, the stuff I wrote just gets the image from the sprite sheet and sends it to this class.

I've found a million tutorials on doing this by loading a CSS file, which is fine, but I don't want to load CSS...I'd rather just modify the thing with actionscript. I've done this before with one of my files, but can't seem to find it.
