I'd like to be able to have an array of movieclips where i'm able to toggle their visibility depending on what button has been pressed. I would need to have a default movieclip that is visible and all the others are hidden, but then when I click a button to make one of the other movieclips visible the default one is hidden etc.You can see an example of what i'm trying to achieve at http:[url]........I'm experienced in PHP and HTML but have not used flash for several years so i'm pretty rusty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
i have a shooting game that works with some sort of rounds, for instance, this round is gonna show 4 enemies on the screen that the user has to shoot. I show the 4 enemies at a half seconds interval of each one so it doesnt all appear on the same time. Using something like:
enemiesShowTimer = new Timer(0.5 * 1000, 1); enemiesShowTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showEnemyAtTime); enemiesShowTimer.start();
The player has 2 seconds to kill each enemy after they appear, so i also use this:
enemiesCleanTimer = new Timer(roundConfig.getSecondsPerEnemy() * 1000, 1); enemiesCleanTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, cleanEnemies); enemiesCleanTimer.start();
The problem is, after the player dies i change scene and if i still have like 3 alive, enemies, the threads will try to run the methods and it will crash. I'm using always the same variable to the start the timer whenever i need it. How can i solve this? Will i have to store each "thread" (timer) on a list and then stop each one separately? Because the way it is, the other threads are in some sort of "limbo" and i cant stop then, just the last one.
I need to show and hide multiple DIV layers by clicking on buttons inside an embedded flash movie. I looked around and the closest I got was this tutorial here:
[URL]
but the problem is I need 10 buttons to each show one layer while hiding the other ones. For example, I click button 1, layer 1 shows, then I click on button 5, layer 1 is hidden and layer 5 shows etc.
How can the above code be split so instead of showing all DIV layers at once, it shows one and hides the rest??
I have a movieClip that a user can click on to hide/show a different movieClip (for this example, lets say its a circle). I have an 'onPress' on that movieClip that tells it go and play the next frame inside itself movieclip (there are two frames which just have different graphics to represent off/on) and also the line of code to hide the other movieClip.
The problem is that if a user clicks on the movieClip to hide the circle and then keeps their mouse in the exact same position and tries to click again to show the circle, nothing happens... they have to move the mouse at least a little bit before it will recognize it is being clicked again. The same thing happens with buttons I have that scroll the page... which is extremely annoying since you can't just click the same spot multiple times, you have to move your mouse a bit and then click again.
I have a query regarding OOP and Movieclips and custom classes (something I haven't been able to get the hang of). I will try and demonstrate my question with an example (I can't think of how else to explain it).
1. I have created a custom class with a variables and a function
function myNote(myNumber){ var myNumber; }
2. I have then added a prototype of the movieClip class
myNote.prototype = new MovieClip();
3. Created another function
myNote.prototype.onMouseUp = function(){ trace("The number of the note you have clicked is: "+ this.myNumber); }
4. Finally I have registered the custom class with a movieclip in the library
Object.registerClass("note", myNote);
5. Then I create a few instances of the movieClip on stage
THE PROBLEM: Now that I have three instances of the movieClip on the stage, so when I click on any of them, the function (onMouseUp...) is summonded and the number (myNumber) of the movie clip is traced in the output window.But instead of showing the number of the movieClip i clicked on, I get the numbers of ALL the movieclips on stage.Why is the function running for all the movieclips on stage? Where am I going wrong? You see ultimately I would like that whichever movieClip i click on, it should change a varibale flag (which will be defined in the class) to activated, but if I face the above problem, then all movieclips will have their flag values changed to activate irrespective of which i click on.
Several arrays are created by passing a number (k) from a different array,for every item in the array I need to have a little dot.I have a movieclip on the timeline with a maximum of 15 dots.So if the array has only 6 items, the last 9 dots should dissapear.
PHP Code:
function fill_items(k:Number) { var item = josXML.firstChild.childNodes[2].childNodes[k];
[code].........
But the dots_total[t]._visible = false; part isn't working...Maybe it's the wrong way to achive this, but i can't seem to figure out why it's not working.
How do I hide a datagrid and then show it?I have a button to select. The button when clicked should show the datagrid. Once the user clicks a cell on the datagrid, it should hide again.
I have button (csignal_btn and endsignal_btn) and i have dynamic text (csignal_txt and endsignal_txt). Now how i can when is unhovered to no be text (alpha=0), and when hover csignal_btn to show csignal_txt (alpha=1)?? Same thing for endsignal_btn
i need to show the second one when there is a mouse over the first one and hide it when it goes out of the first one also i want the second container content to be usable (mouse clicks/moves)
1. I've downloaded the Source for MX included in the "Hide/View the Scrollbar Component" page of It simply doesn't work when I open the file and publish it. I'm using Flash MX 2004, ... has anyone experienced the same problem and solved it?2. I've been able to set the scroll visibility with an external dynamic text using several procedures. One of them is:
SB1.setScrollTarget(_root.Texto1); if (Texto1.maxscroll > 1) { SB1._visible = true;
I'm not happy with my hide/show function..... the code works, but I think it is a waste of space on my stage that I need two buttons to hide and show a movieclip... there must be a better way
I want to hide the mouse after some period when there is no mouse movement (i.e. 5 seconds), and then for the mouse to reappear when the user moves their mouse again.
I have a flash map. There are 6 clickable countries on the map. When one clicks on a country I want html content to appear under the flash movie. As far as I can see the best way to accomplish this is to have all the content already under the flash movie each in a separate div, with display set to hidden. Then action script inside the country buttons calls a javascript function on the html when that button is clicked, to set display:block for corresponding content filled div. I've tried a few scripts but couldn't get it working.
<code>button_kenya.onRelease = function () { flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("kenya"); };</code>
Is there anything else i should do when imbedding flash into my page so that the flash can talk to the html and call the javascript?
Flash in general so this is probably above my skill level. Basically I have 3 movieclips, called random1, random2 and random3 for the sake of this.I want, at the start of the frame to pick one of the three objects at random, keep that object visible, and hide the other 2
I need to progress. [URL] The Adobe documentation assumes you are an expert with Flash and there are no clear cut examples of how to even show and hide a darned button, well, I can't find any referrences. I can imagine what I want to do with flash, but getting anything out of it cracks open my brain. Programming is not fair!!! for us graphic artists. Examples of things I want to study are loading images to the stage on a specific event such as "if(enterFrame == x)" ideally I would like the images to load from a directory on the server and ease in the image.
Basically I want to keep it simple yet effective. Alot of the code I see out there is double dutch to me and appears to go in the wrong direction of simplifying things. I can understand the basic fundamentals, but I wish when people post examples like myMC1.visible = true; that they explain that myMC1 is just a name chosen by the writer to look for an item called myMC1 or go the extra step and color code the code BLUE for actual code, RED for names of items given by the writer that exist on the stage etc etc...
I'm trying to show and hide a sub menu. So what I want to do is for the sub menu to show up and stay up if certain buttons are clicked, but disappear if other buttons are clicked. I've got an array of the sub menu. If any of the buttons are clicked from the sub menu array, it should stay.
var subMenu:Boolean=false; This is my sub menu array: var arrSub:Array=[m8_mcButton,m9_mcButton,m10_mcButton,m11_mcButton,m12_m cButton,m13_mcButton,m14_mcButton];
When a button is clicked, I want to check to see if the sub menu is showing and to check which button has been clicked. This is the code I came up with, but unfortunately, doesn't work...
function onButtonClick(e:MouseEvent):void { for (i=0; i<arrSub.length; i++) { if (subMenu && e.currentTarget!=arrSub[i]) { arrSub[i].y=-130; subMenu=false; }}
url...Is there a more effective way to consistently show and hide a textfield? or is there a smarter class to use like MovieClip or Sprite?I've tried all 3.This configuration of the two functions shows the message box once, but fails to hide. [code]Alternatively if I don't set the alpha in showMsg it show once, hides once, but fails to show again.It's like alpha can only be changed once and then it fails to change after that:[code]

I want to introduce my hide/show code to this code but dont understand how to do it. What I want is that if I enter ''image1'' in my Passwordbox, my ''image1'' object show/hide. If I enter ''image2'', my ''image2'' object show/hide. Can someone help me with this?
I am looking to implement a search text box as follows:When user starts typing in and there are non-zero results, the text box will open up and display the results below it. When the user selects a result, the text box closed, but this time with a down-arrow (like a combobox) so that the user can re-open the list.I suspect what I really need is a combobox with ability to hide/show the down arrow. How do I do this in Flex?
Im using show/hide to load a 'loading' flash file whilst a form loadsThe div im trying to show contains an swf fileThis works fine in all browsers except safari, which does not show the swf file upon clicking the submit buttonIm using...
I am working on an application where I need to basically have 2 separate screens and I need to be able to switch between them. I am a total noob to Flex & Flash and I have not found anything on how to do this in my 2 days of Googling. It really shouldn't be this hard to do!
Here is what I have tried. I created a Flex Project and added 2 MXML Component files called Test1 & Test2 and each simply have a button in them which have a label of Button1 & Button2 so I can see if the correct component is showing. Below is the button code in the Test1 MXML Component file[code]...
I want a button to show and hide a movieclip (see attached files for source) the Button is a Movieclip and has been coded using a tut I got from some where but I am stuck on how I can get it to do the show and hide part <edited part> forgot to Add that I also want to make a Text box say Grid On and off
I want to show/hide a symbol (movie clip) when i mouse over/out another symbol (button) and also want to move the movie clip as motion of mouse by attaching to the mouse... for this.. i think i have to use startDrag action but i am confused how.
if i use action on button like:
on (rollOver) { startDrag("abc"); } on (rollOut) { stop(); }
where "abc" is instance name of movie clip it will do the work but it doesnt give effect of appearing and dissapearing the movie clip when i mouse over the button.
It works fine when it's previewd alone. But when i have my main,shell, movie load this movie that contains the button, it doesnt work at all. Am i supposed to use _parent somewhere?
an example of a show/hide a movieclip with a listener. That is, i was planning to have a boolean flag variable showSubMenu and if it's true the submenu will be visible and if false it's hidden???
I am currently trying to learn how to use MySQL, PHP/XML, and Flash together. What I have so far is a list box that loads the MySQL table "subject" through the following code: PHP File:
[Code]...
This code works exactly how I want it to but what I now want to do is have each list item in the list (when clicked) show another list component that will display the corresponding product items from the MySQL "items" table. I was thinking of creating a new flash file for each set of items and then have the subject list display the SWF files but I want to be able to add new subjects without having to go back into flash and do more coding.
