I am pulling my hair out trying to make my simple flash file link to a URL and nothing I have tried will work. I am making a transparent box on the top layer of my file, making it a movie clip and adding the code
on (press){
getURL("http://www.trimergence.com/staging/news.html");
}
The action says it has no errors, but when I export the move, my cursor turns to a hand but goes no where when I click.
how this site was made so that it fits every browser window completely, with no borders or distortion to the site? http:[url]....I want my site to fill the screen and the only way I know is 'exactfit' in the html but this stretches the file on certain browsers.

View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if it is possible to set the quality of a particular movie clip rather than the entire flash movie?
For example, say i wanted to start a drag of a movie clip. So when it started, the quality of that particular movie clip would be set to 'low' then when the drag is stopped it is set back to 'best'

View 3 RepliesI have been making a shooting game(birds-eye view), and have put 'Bots' into it but i seem to be have trouble making the bots spawn randomly over the entire map. (550w x 400h-the usual)I have tried using the Math.random function but it only picks between 0 and 1; is there a way to make Math.random choose between 0 - 550 (for the width of screen) ???Or would i have to make some function for that purpose?
View 8 RepliesTrying to make it so when you click anywhere on the flash file, it loads a specific website. It works when I go to File > Preview > Flash, but if I try and preview in html it doesn't navigate anywhere. My actionscript is:

I have tried everything to get my Flash movie to completely fill the browser but to no avail. I have made the dimensions 100% w + h as well as making all the margins 0 px. Am I missing something as when I compare my HTML source code it seems the same as others but the result is with me having white borders around the published file.
Here is the link for the source code.

I have a long linear flash presentation with many scenes. Besides web playback my clients asked for a standalone projector file as well. Upon making it full screen with FS command during playback, initial off stage area elements are visible when they animate into the stage on widescreen monitors...for example text moving in from left. I don't want to mask every layer in over thirty something scenes...is there an easier way by applying a mask in actionscript to the movie itself? I know setMask() works for movieclips but is there a way to apply the setMask() method to the entire presentation in AS2 because the following did not seem to work:[code]

View 1 RepliesI am creating this animation. When you click on a button I want it to use facebox to use a pop up. I was talking to my coder friend and he gave me this code to maybe useSo I am trying to basically use this kind of coding into flash. The only thing is that I am not that great a coding so I have no idea what I am doing. The only coding that I have is a stop (); at the end of the animation so it doesn't loop.
View 1 RepliesSo as to make things less confusing (I had a lot of different layers), I made each scene in my animation in its own file. Now I want to put them in the same file, so I thought I could make everything in one file into a movie clip and put it into another file that way.
However, it doesn't seem to work! I can highlight everything, convert it, and paste it into the other file... but when I paste it, it only pastes the first frame of my highlighted selection! How can I convert the whole thing into a movie clip instead of just one frame?
I'm in the process of making complicated multiplayer games and i want to make a 'zoom in-scroller' feature (simply to give the illusion of a bigger world where i can put more stuff in it). What I need is the equivilent of launching your .swf, right clicking on the stage, and "zoom in" (but obviously in actionscript code).
I've been searching online for the solution and all i can find is a bunch of noobs describing how to zoom in on a movieclip, but they arent really zooming at all, they're just blowing up and shrinking the individual movieclips.
The biggest problem with this of course is when i add objects to the stage, thier (x, y) spawn dosent scale with the stage.scaleX, so the placement spirals the game out of control.Anyways, my stage is a 1200x by 600y dimension; the stage has player movieclip (var player1) with assosiated move functions (W A S D controls). I need a zoomed in interface centered on the moving player (lets just say a 600x by 300y box). And finally this zoom-in should not affect anything going on in the original 1200x600 stage, such as spawn locations, collision detections and so on.
I have two copies of an image (one called blurPic_mc & one called sharpPic_mc) and I want to be able to move both of them around the screen togethe I need them to stay exactly on top of each other for some other functions I am running but right now the only one that moves is the top one (sharpPic_mc).I included my code below.
sharpPic_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,Click);

View 1 Replieshow do you link(code) your swf pages to each other (through buttons) when making a flash site or portfolio?
View 5 RepliesI have trailed through endless forums and tried adding all the various codes.I have a movie that is embedded within a php page. The movie starts with an animation and at the end, an image emerges with buttons. The image that emerges is actually an xml run slideshow but I don't want to complicate it with this bit of information if it is not relevant. So the film stops there and the buttons remain with a changing background.
I would like to make it skip to the end frame if it has been played before, if someone returns to the page, so that the user doesn't have to watch the entire movie to get to the buttons.I have tried adding this to the first scene however it is pretty temperamental:
var myCookie:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("checkFirstVisit");
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()) {
// Flash Cookie[code].....
Ok when you press link one it olads great! when i press link 2, it plays the closing animation, but not the entire animation, thats the problem.My closing animation is a red square going from one end to another ( for the hell of it).But you see content number two will load b4 the red square gets all the way across!!
View 2 RepliesSo I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
i have a friend who are dentist and ive agreed to do a web site for him. I do it in cs4. Like so: ive made a pretty simple and nice layout i plan to use for all pages with some images an so on .Now ive made lots of buttons wich all opens in a timeline nice and slow (not to slow). On the index page i have a menu called "treatments" wich requir some room.

Flash newbie here. I wanted to create a basic flash countdown widget to use on a site I run so I started googling and found a template I liked. After messing around with it and whipping up a quick background in Photoshop, I got something that looked decent. The template uses Action Script 2.0, but it seems to work ok. I went through it and customized the date and countdown text color so I don't have to use any variables in the embed code.
The problem I am facing now is I want the whole flash file to be a link in case someone else takes it and decided to embed it on their site, it at least links back to mine. I put an invisible rectangle over the whole project and inserted this AS

View 1 RepliesIm trying to make two buttons for my artefact to link to facebook and twitter, but it doesn't work. I've got no error messages or anything, I just click the button and it doesn't do anything
The code is the following:
BTN_FACEBOOK.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, FacebookClick);
function FacebookClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
var getFacebook:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]");
navigateToURL(getFacebook);
}
BTN_TWITTER.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwitterClick);
function TwitterClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
var getTwitter:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]");
navigateToURL(getTwitter);
}
so i've been working on a flash game for a few years now and i remember seeing a setting on a tutorial a while back where you can control how much a movie loads on each frame instance. For example the first frame of my game (loader) first shows up on 12%. I want the first frame to load on 1% and then preform the rest of the loading sequence with the first frame still visible. At the moment it isn't too bad, but once my swf file exceeds a few MB then this will cause me some issues.

View 1 RepliesSo I have a movie containing some content that I would like to pre-load. I made the pre-loader and it works fine but it could be more friendly for the user. Because the movie is quite long in duration, I think its good enough if I only load say the first 35% of the movie and then let the remaining 65% download while the user is watching the first 35%. Is there a way that I can modify my pre-load script to do this to say something like: 'load content for frames 10 to 200, play from 10'.
