Looking at the AVM2 specs (here, page 66-67) i found out that there are two instructions which do something different but they have the same opcode:[code]Both have the same format (no arguments). Both have the same stack transition. Since these instructions do something different i am a bit confused. Does someone know what are the correct opcodes?
View 1 RepliesI have an app in which there are 2 identical units that have a timer that displays elapsed time. I'm using a single file for these units since they are identical. When a user turns one of the units on, its timer is supposed to start and when they turn it off, it should then stop. The problem I'm having is this:
If I go to one unit and turn it on, and, after 2-3 minutes, turn it off, then go to the 2nd unit, instead of displaying 0:00, it displays the 2:00+ that was on the first unit. If I go back to the first unit and turn it back on, instead of starting at the 2:00+ mark, it starts up at 3:00 or later. I'm not very familiar with the way getTimer works, but I had figured that could be set to start whenever I wanted.
If the user then selects a new module, instead of restarting at 0:00, it starts off at around 5:00 or so. It appears to be giving the time from when I started the Flash piece instead of since the beginning of the module like I thought it would. How should I code these timers so that they can start when the user selects a module and so that they can be distinct values?
I am looking to create a 2-3 minute presentation which will contain several distinct animations that need to be in sync with a voiceover. The presentation will run from start to finish without any user interaction. I can see a few different ways forward -- trying to do everything on the main timeline, using scenes, creating movies clips and controlling their starting and stopping on the main timeline through ActionScript, etc.
View 4 RepliesOn Linux (Debian Lenny) the installation instructions for the *installer*.tar.gz download file say:Unpack file.Navigate into directory or folder created.Run install program.But no directory created; no install program - what the hell is going on??What you get is a single *.so file. What do you do with it?I got it to work in the past, but perhaps by a different method.
View 1 RepliesI hate to be a total newb but the deadline for this game is coming up way too soon for me to figure it out myself.This game is for uni and it is my first experience with making a flash game and my second flash project total. Sorry.All I want to do is create a second instructions page from what I already have but it will not play properly. The syntax is correct, I created the object before I called it but I am still getting Error #1009.Here is the related code:
Code:
startButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);
rulesButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);

I am trying to create a flash pre-loader exactly like the one in the tutorial at this link: ( I am using CS4 and AS3 as he is in the video)
[URL]
When I go to simulate download, the loading page screen will show as the page loads, but the dynamic text fields will not update or show anything - they are just whited out as if they are not there.
I have checked the code about ten times. And I have also named all the movie clips exactly has he has them named in the movie. The only problem I can think of is that I am not if I need to name my .swf file that plays on frame two to something else or somehow "connect" it to the action script or loading page so the loading page understands what the dynamic text needs to load. If this is not the problem, can anyone think of something else?
I have button Alpha. When clicked, it tells movie clip One to move to y coordinate zero. This actionscript works fine.But when I place the button inside movie clip Beta, no longer can it tell movie clip One to move. I keep reading references to relative paths and such, but i can't seem to make it work. I've attached the MX 2004 file to show what's (not) going on.

View 2 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is create buttons in one swf that load another swf and also give instructions to begin playing from a certain frame in that swf. The target swf has a preloader on frame 1 and then a movie clip that contains a video in frame 2. Depending on which button the user presses the video will be cued up ready to play at different frames. I think it may need an if statement ie if x=34 then goto frame 34, but I can't seem to pass the variables to the loaded swf. In the zip file is an example of what I'm trying to do.
View 11 RepliesI am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value
b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?
I�m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I�ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I�m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:
on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
I�m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.
