I want to set different locations in an Image, and when I mouse over the location it needs to shows something('box' or 'x' nd 'y' position of the location). How can i achieve this.?
View 3 RepliesI'm creating a flash based dynamic electrical circuit board and have come across a problem. I have a function that is a fired from ENTER_FRAME event that loops though an array where each element contains the following:
'#parentObject1#ChildObject1#parentObject2#ChildOb ject2#Colour'
To Clarify - A line should be drawn from ChildObject1 to ChildObject2 in the saved colour. The above is a string. I slice at each '#', which is working. Each object gets added through my created toolbox so added dynamically.I can get the DisplayOBject of the parents by using - var obj1:displayObject = getChildByName(sliced[1]);
But cannot do the same for the Child object by - var subobj1:displayObject = obj1.getChildByName(sliced[2]);The reason for this is that each parent can be dragged so I would like the drawn line to move with the children.how to find the child objects
I have a MC called image_mc. When I load an image from XML, I want the centre of the image to be over the MC.Here is my code which isn't working. Currently, it positions the top left of the image at the MC regardless if the image is portrait or landscape.
Code:
pic = portfolioTag.childNodes[num].attributes.IMAGE;
// LOAD IN FIRST PICTURE IN XML FILE, first occurance of IMAGE NODE[code]....
how to zoom into(hence zooming the map outward) set locations on a map, yet only those locations. I have a script which will zoom to your mouse location and also if I set the specific x and y, but still zooms when clicking on any other spot.
how do I zoom to only a set location and nothing else within a map/image.
I'm doing a project in flash. What I'm trying to do is have an interactive map and have key locations you can click to view a popup and using xml call in data such as thumbnails, images and information. I've also created a scroller so when you click the arrows the map scrolls left to right except I want to make it so that when you click the arrow right for example when the map gets to the far right edge the arrow greys out (to signify that you can no longer move to the right) It's complicated to explain so here's the assets in a zip file: [URL]

View 8 Repliesthere are two icons that become visible when a mc is selected, a small crosshair and a small circle. Sometimes they're in the same place, sometimes not. I understand the small crosshair is the origin, where all transforms originate from, but what's the circle, and what does it mean when the two icons are in different locations?
View 2 RepliesI have a map, which dots for locations, and a list on the right of place names. I want to rollover, say, Paris and the dot over central/northern France glows (expands, flashes, something... I know that would be in the movie over France).
So my question is, if the buttons on the right are the parts that mouseover (and will change colour, like good web links should) how do I get the dots on the map to change when the name is rolled over?
I want to make such flash file, which would contact web content without asking an user to add the file in the allow list on adobe web-page, is it possible to make it without help of other programing languages?
View 4 Replies I made a flash-file that will load a file externaly (http://.../locus.f4v). When I publish that flash file it renders a locus.swf, locus.index and a SkinOverAllNoFullNoCaption.swf (skin).When I upload everything works fine. But to easily manage all of my video's I can't have them lying arround and would like them in a folder. So I create a folder locusvideos. I change all the links in the html-file to locusvideos/... .swf but it just shows an empty page.so where are all the files at? locus.html (is in the most top folder)
/locusvideos/locus.swf
/locusvideos/SkinOverAllNoFullNoCaption.swf
and the video-file is still on the same place.
I need pointing in the right direction with a random question.I need to change my Flash player to take on adverts at the beginning or end of playing the desired video.Is there anyway to do this by supplying the player with 2 separate videos?For example, at the moment I use this within my player:

Here is the code:
var abutton:AButton = new AButton; //Where AButton is a button defined in my library
addChildAt(abutton, numChildren);
abutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, attack);
It doesn't want to work when certain movie clips are underneath it, but I don't want to make it more complicated by switching to another screen. Is it possible to make the button work with movieclips underneath?
I am making a small game, and I have four movieclips and four fixed locations (fixed xy locations like x=86 and y=181).After every round of the game I want the movieclips to be randomly in one of the four locations.However my Actionscripting skills don't have a clue how I could do this efficiently.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to take a 'snapshot' of a movieclip that i've got on the stage with "BitmapData" and then starting a "draw()" command on it. I'm able to get it drawing.. however.. it only takes the things from (0,0).( the upper left corner of the movieclip. Doing a trace on "BitmapData.rectangle" gives me it's X and Y coordinates .. and it's width and height..
How do I change the X and Y locations of the BitmapData for it to start the drawing from? As I have some stuff on the negative side of x.
I am working to tween a map of US States to center over and zoom on a specific state once clicked on.I know that I'd want the new x,y of the US States to be something in regards to the difference between its registration location and that of the child clicked uponThe tricky part I am finding is that the coordinate space of the children is specific to that of the container (parent)

View 1 RepliesI have a scene with 3 buttons on it. I would like to be able to click the button and move on the to a specified scene. Will the following code work or do I need to used something else?

Can I replace the locations.swf with one of my scene names or do I need to find another piece of code?
How would I write the following in ActionScript...
- I have 2 external SWFs I want to load. Their height will change over time as I add more content to each SWF.
- I want to load one SWF, then directly below it, load the other SWF.
- The X-location and width of the SWFs should never change.
How would I code something that loads an external SWF, checks the Y-height of it, then loads another SWF below it?
I need to move a movie from let's say '_root' and put it into '_root.source.pages.ph' on level 0 in the current state that it is in....is there anyway you can do this using actionScript?

i can't seem to figure this one out as it has to do with arrays and i sorta understand them but haven't needed them for anything practical until now, im making a photo gallery i don't want to bother learning how to do it through XML , not as of yet at least, so im just using an array to hold the locations of my photos, I tested my code by just using a single path as the URLRequest and it worked great, so i made an array and replaced the single path with the array and the location of the path in the array that i want it to start with. Thats where the problem is, i get

View 1 RepliesI want to store their locations as a variable, then just call that variable in a Tween. I read somewhere that it has to be an Array. However, I don't know how to call it without getting commas in between instead of dots.

We are building a flash website for radio network. They would like to have a audio player streaming live signal from other locations. Does it mean that we need to install a Flash Media Server even though, the signals are being broadcasted from different locations ?

View 2 Repliessupposing there is a movieclip in stage.. let's say its a circle with an instance name of "theCircle"..
the circle has to move / go to / animate to a random location on stage every 5 seconds... basically, the circle should move to the random location, stop and wait for 5 seconds, then move again to another random location.. again and again...
the code below is untested and incomplete.. but it is what i am trying to do.
Code:
var randomXPosition:int;
var randomYPosition:int;
var positionTimer:Timer;
[Code]....
on the moveCircle function, i can simply set the X and Y of the circle equal to randomXPosition and randomYPosition... but that would just change the location of the circle, not move it.. i am trying to make the circle animate towards that location at a constant speed..
The basic area:
add 5 circles on random locations on stage...
and animate them to random locations on stage without touching each other...
The problem::
The code below works perfectly (up to a certain point). It succeeds in making the circles animate to random points on stage. It also succeeds in detecting if once circle comes to close proximity with another circle... Code on main timeline:
Code:
var enemyArray:Array = new Array();
var timeToCreateEnemy:Timer;
// set up timer that will fire every 2 seconds, 5 times
timeToCreateEnemy = new Timer(2000, 5)
timeToCreateEnemy.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, createEnemy);
timeToCreateEnemy.start();
