View 2 Repliesi want to make electronic lock for my flash game (like in sci fi movies).whole game is written in AS2.it should look like this At top thers dynamic text box, under it there are 10 buttons labeled from 0 to 9 and at bottom there is button labeled ENTER.when you press any of the buttons it should write numeric value at dynamic text box( 6 digits code), and when enter is pressed it should check if code is ok.First part of the problem is how to make buttons to write series of numbers into dynamic textbox.Second is to write if loop which will on enter button press check dynamic textbox content and trigger some action if correct or clear textbox and allow another try.
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to lock the mouse X and Y position?, I mean, I want to move my mouse but I want that the mouse position to be locked on.. let say, the center of the screen. Btw, I need to do this using Flash.
View 2 RepliesI've done some research and determined that it isn't currently possible to lock the mouse into a flash application/game. People keep suggesting using fullscreen mode, which is great for a single monitor solution. However, I am developing applications that use 2 or more monitors, and require the mouse to be restricted to certain ones. Is it possible, when running flash in full screen mode, to restrict the mouse to staying inside the full screen app, so that it can't move to and click on other monitors?I am using AS3.I am also running these flash applications in Adobe AIR, if that makes any difference.

I have a flash gallery which works fine, the images for the gallery are determined by .xml files. Problem is when the image is not exactly the same size as the area defined in the .fla it defaults against the top and left, not the center of the space.
View 5 RepliesIs it possible to lock components when using design mode in flash builder 4.5?
I have created a custom component in catalyst that acts as the background to the application. I need to animate this component in different states, and these are all done in catalyst.
I then imported the flash catalyst project into flash builder as a library. I was then able to drag the component into my application using design mode.
The problem is that this component has been set to stretch to fit the whole application.[code]...
I am looking to lock the over state of a button on a specific frame I have labeled. In other words, I only want the over state to lock on that specfic frame but behave normally on all other frames. Is there a way to do this with actionscript? If not, what is the most efficient way to do what I need to do?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a website that will full scale the browser window with all the flash elements inside but I am having trouble deciding what resolution to design in and how to lock certain content to not scale.
I am trying to achieve the effect that will consist of a high resolution image as the background for each section of the website that will full screen. Content such as logo and footer etc should always remain locked. An example of this can be found at http:[url]..... If you shrink the browser window all content stays centralised and the top and bottom footer do not scale, although the central part of the site does change. I was wondering how this effect was achieved? How does some content remain locked and others scale. I really can not figure out what dimension size to design in and achieve the high res image effect for the site. I too will require a top and bottom footer.how that site was published and constructed that would be brilliant.At present I am playing around with the following code:
fscommand("fullscreen",true);
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "C";
I then know the publishing settings should be set at 100 x 100 percent and that when the swf is imported to the html to write the following style tag:
<style>
body {margin;0px:padding;0px}
</style>

View 2 RepliesI'm new to AS3 and OOP in general and I'm trying to create a cursor class for a mouse avoider game, i.e a class whose position is mouseX, mouseY. This is where I'm at (the Avatar class in added to the stage in a Main class not shown):[code]But this doesn't work, I guess I have to refer to the mouse in some other way? I also tried using MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE which got me closer, but the avatar only moved when my mouse was directly at the center of the movieclip.
View 7 RepliesI have a menu for a website in flash where, an mc moves up and down and shoots...so that when the projectile MC hits a button, it clicks it.
1.) How do I make it so that the MC follows the mouse (like a custom cursor)..but is restricted to only going vertically
2.) how would you make it so that the mc can shoot anywhere....but when the fired MC hits a button, it acts as if it was clicked? My AS knowledge...is..very basic...so if you have any free time could you explain the codes?...so that I can learn from this...rather then just stealing your codes... but..if you want to just let me copy and paste...thats cool too
So your playing a flash game that's fast paced and mouse-based (hey that rhymes somewhat)... And then you accidentally move your mouse outside of the area of the swf... And then it pauses automatically with a "Continue" button, instead of you just dying or whatever. I've thought you could have a huge button the size of the stage and make it do something when the frame isn't 'mouseover' or whatever, but there's gotta be a better way. Also setting limits on the _xmouse and _ymouse wouldn't work cos sometimes the mouse moves too fast for them to accurately get the last mouseposition...

View 1 RepliesI'm currently trying to build a hidden object game, but am having difficulty getting accurate results with where the mouse is clicking. I thought using hitTestPoint to check whether the mouse's coordinates were actually colliding with the pixels of the shape would work, but this produces the exact same results as simply checking for a MouseEvent.CLICK event. It seems to be returning true even if the pixels being clicked on are transparent (i.e. just background/not part of the shape). Is there any way to check whether the pixels being clicked on actually contain the image of the object being searched for?

We used Flex to build the web app below. It lets the user build an interactive activity and click "Publish as Flash" to save a SWF file on their local computer.[url]...
Problem:When saving the file, the "Save As Filetype" drop down is empty and end users can accidentally delete the swf file extension in the filename.How can we lock down the extension so it will always have SWF in the extension?
Technique 1? Set "Save As Filetype" to SWF by default.
Technique 2? Click "Publish as Flash". User specifies the filename. File is saved on the server. User presented with prompt to download file. File is downloaded from the server using the traditional browser windows explorer dialog box (the same dialog box if I downloaded a program from cnet's downloads.com)

I'm using a preloader on my website. The preloader works fine on Internet Explorer, however when I tested it in Mozilla and on a Mac (running Netscape) there is a lockup on the preloader. The screen will just sit there and the website doesn't load. Both were running Flash Player 6 which is the version I'm aiming for. I found that if I refreshed the page the site would begin to work, but I doubt visitors to my site would do this and I don't want it to be required to get my site to work.
Heres the action script - from the first frame of my launch movie
Code:
stop();
function loadSWF(theURL, theTarget) {
loadMovie(theURL, theTarget);
loaderInterval = setInterval(loadChecker, 50);

As you can see I call the loadSWF function to load menu.swf into the holder1_mc movieclip. That function then sets an interval with the loadChecker function that acts as the preloader. This is where nothing happens on some browsers (yet it works fine in IE).
