I have somehow managed to change the layout of my timeline in CS4 so that it shows the layer names, across the entire window. This means I cant see any of the frames, just the layer names.No matter how many times i reset the workspace or change it, it wont come back! If i hover the mouse over the edge I get the double ended arrow that should allow me to pull the side bar over to reveal the frames but it doesnt do anything!.

I'm very confused about the new Flex 4 architecture...
I have a function that is made up of two main parts (I'll call them A and B). Part B needs to run when part A is fully done with its layout changes. However, there is no "part A is done" signal, and thus I've been calling a validateNow() before part B runs. This works but seems awfully inefficient - was wondering if there are any other tricks to force an immediate measure or something along those lines or if I'm stuck.

View 1 RepliesIn web design, you usually define a CSS style for a navigation link, which will appear when the user is currently on that page. So if I was on the "about" page, the "about" link in the navigation would be highlighted red, for example.I'm trying to do the same thing with a button in Flash. When a user clicks the button ("on(release)"), it will take them to another frame in the timeline, and, the look of the button will change to let the user know they are currently on that frame. I thought I could do this by adding a keyframe at the destination frame, then going into the button and changing the "up" frame. Sadly, that doesn't work, as it changes the "up" frame for the button everywhere.
View 1 RepliesI have several sounds of same length playing on the Timeline, each playing in loop on their own layer so that they can be syncronised on the same tempo (i did not managed to do this through pure AS3).
Is it possible to manipulate the sounds on this timeline individually via actionscript (ie: add listeners, change volume, read position) ?
Is there a way to change the background color of the layers the Flash timeline itself? I'm using XP, and there is not enough difference in the color of a selected layer and one with extended keyframes that is not selected. At school I use a Mac and there is definitely a blue vs. a gray. On my computer, they are two very close shades of gray.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to change the seconds counter displayed below the Flash CS3 timeline to something more detailed/comprehensive? I'm doing some work for some guys that need very specifically lengthed scenes to fit in predertmined gaps in a project they're working with and when I get notes for a scene to be like 04:16 seconds long it's a little hard to translate that to the one decimal point that Flash provides...I need a reading more like the Premiere timeline. I looked in the preferences and didn't see anything but I could've sworn I saw an option like this once before.

View 0 RepliesI made an RPG, and I'm trying to make the movie itself go to the second/next frame. But whenever I try to do that, nothing happens at all. I tried _level0.gotoAndStop(2) and _root.gotoAndStop(2), both on a frame and on a movie clip.
It's suppose to initiate this function once a certain variable (_root.numbers) reaches 20, and I've tested if the variable does reach 20 by doing other things.
I have a varible on the timeline, named "pressedleft" and i have a movieclip named animate, and within that movieclip i have another one named animate_move, on the last frame of animate_move, i want it to make pressedleft = false; but i cant seem to figure out how this is done :s
View 2 RepliesI am making a basic character selection function for my fighting game.
So, is it possible to have different MC's on the Fighter Class timeline,( 1 mc per frame)and then gotoAndPlay that certain movieclip? (all the different animations within that movieclip)? Or is there a way to assign a movieclip to a class?
I have a movieclip in which I show pictures. Each picture was 1 frame long, so my button (mc) to go ahead to the next picture had the following script:
this.onRelease = function(){
_parent.nextFrame();
}
Now I've changed the timeline so that each picture is 24 frames long. By reading some posts I've found this code:
gotoAndStop(_currentframe+5);
Still I don't manage to go ahead 24 frames. Does anyone know how I can change the first code to go ahead 24 frames, or even better, to the next keyframe?
Let's say I have a file that loads an AS. Within that AS is an array that loads to a list menu in the main file or .fla. The list menu is used as navigation, so when the user clicks on one of the items, in the list, it goes to, let's say, frame 2.Now, on frame 2 I would like to change the information in the array so that the list menu now contains a new list of links.
View 2 RepliesMy question. How do I control a movie clips FPS independently of the main time line. I believe in the previous version of Flash this was not possible but I think it can be done with CS4 with AS3.
I have five images with motion add to them. One fades out while the next fades in. To get this to work slower then the main time line I would have to add a lot of frame for that movie clip to not run so fast. Which this will make the file size larger.
I need this movie clip to run at say 12 FPS instead of the 24 the main timeline is running at.

How do i correctly change a variable from an instances timeline? I need the variable hero.landing to = true when a particular frame is hit in the timeline.
I used to add the instance simply with addChild(name);
and the AS in the timeline was:
MovieClip(this.parent).hero.attacking = false;
However i add the child to the gamelevel instance like:
gamelevel.addChild(name);
and the code: MovieClip(this.parent).hero.attacking = false;
only temporarily changes the variable, it resets back to its previous immediately after the frame is reached.
For example, hero.attacking is true until it hits a certain frame at which point i want it to be set back to false. However now that i add the child into the gamelevel instance, it only temporarily sets hero.attacking to false, and then resets back to true after.
I've got a simple movie clip with text in, with tweening set on the timeline so it fades in and out.But in actionscript, when I modify its position _x or _y or even scale _xscale, then the movieclip text no longer fades with the playing of the timeline.I've tried everything but can't seem how to keep the movie clip so it continues to fade, but adjust the position.

My question is, how can i cause any of these events to change a string variable in the main timeline? For instance, i would like the news_btn when clicked to change already defined variable located in the main timeline. Also, is there a more elegant way to code the above, i'm new to AS3?
