ActionScript 3.0 :: Embed Code Snippet Into Symbol?
Sep 21, 2010I am trying to embed the goto next frame and stop code snippet into a symbol. Its basically a box that a user can click that will allow them to go to the next frame. The instanced symbol will be resized from frame to frame etc. I ve been told that if I embed the code within a movieclip within the symbol it should work, however I am severely frustrated as nothing is happening.
Create a symbol (I ve tried Graphic and MovieClip), name it A. Within that symbol I put in an instance of a Movie clip named B, which is just a square.Back to the top symbol A, in the timeline I add the code snippet go to next frame and stop.I have 5 frames in the main timeline which all have stop actions if that makes any difference?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Duplicating Symbol Instances Through 3.0 Code?
Mar 2, 2010I have 10 different map symbols on the stage. I have 1 class called ContinentView which is linked as the base class to each of these 10 map symbols. All I want to do is duplicate the same map symbol and miniaturize it when the map symbol is clicked upon. Thus, 2 symbols will be on stage prior to clicking, 1 large and 1 small. The 10 different map symbols have names such as zone1, zone2, zone3...etc. all the way up to 10. I know that I can do var mini:MovieClip = new zone1() as MovieClip; but thats ONLY if I click on the 1st map symbol and vice versa. This means I would have to do an if tree or several cases in a switch statement to check the id or name of the clicked symbol (e.currentTarget.name or something)...I want to avoid that and be dynamic.
View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Play Next Scene Code Within A Symbol?
Mar 21, 2011I'm in a bit of a situation here, and was wondering if someone could offer me some assistance.
I have a symbol with another symbol embedded inside it (there's nothing I can do about it, I know). For the symbol inside the symbol (lets call it symbol 2), I have a few buttons that return a value when pressed. I have an if statement that triggers if the values are equal to a certain amount. The if statement is supposed to goto the next scene.
The if statement and all the values work correctly, but for some reason, it will not move to the next scene. I've tried both nextScene(); and gotoAndPlay("scene",1); to no luck. I have even tried putting _root. to the front of the code, and it doesn't work.
Professional :: Create A Flash Program That Uses It's Own Code To Send And Create Images?
Sep 29, 2010I'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.

Sep 14, 2004I'm reading Colin Moocks Actionscript for flash MX book and upon reading functions he instructs to create a symbol named ballSymbol, than put an instance on the stage (frame 1 maintimeline) and call it ball. Than on frame 1 on the main timeline put the following actionscript:
Code:
_global.mainTimeline = this;
function moveBall() {

The ball is supposed to move diagonally. But my problem is when I test the movie, nothing happens. No movement, nothing...

Mar 16, 2012This is a very basic question. I'm rather new. Just wondering how one creates and manipulates dynamic objects, when they were designed in the library- not dynamically.
I want to make symbols in the library (linked to classes) and then dynamically create them and manipulate them in the actionscript code. But when I create them in the code, any instance names of sub-symbols cannot be referenced...
The instance name is "instance244" and not "leaf_text" which I set under [properties>instance name]

Flash :: Symbol's Height (in Code) Seem Different Than Its Height (in Design)
Jan 11, 2011I have a bit of graphical content inside a symbol that I've created in Flash CS5. Let's call it FunGraphics_Art, it's set to export, and it extends MovieClip.When I edit the symbol in Flash and I hit control-A, the properties panel tells me that all of the content has a height of 72 pixels, positioned at 0,0.The content consists of a few (classic) textfields, and a couple of Checkbox components and a few bits of vector art.All the content is on a single frame, no layers.So far, so good. I export my art as a .svc and am able to use it all in code just fine. However I then add the following bit of code to my .as file..[code]Somehow, there's something strange going on that's causing Flash to think my exported symbol is about 75 pixels higher than it actually is. I've looked around for invisible "blank" textfields, but haven't found anything yet.

Flash :: Change Visibility Of Symbol Instance From Inside Another Symbol's Script
Nov 22, 2011I have a project in Flash Professional CS5 and ActionScript 3.
I have a movieclip symbol (referred herein as "background" with scripts on various keyframes inside of that symbol. I need to hide or show another symbol (referred herein as "object") sharing a stage with "background".
To put it another way, I need "object" to be hidden when "background" reaches a certain internal keyframe. However, as "object" and "background" are both children of the same stage, how do I do this?
