View 2 Replieshow can we place hundreds of instances of one movieclip on different place?
for exemple, pacman:
how should i code the placement of all the money?
i would go:
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
_root.attachMovie(
but that's not the good solution is it?
there must be a code to do that without hundreds of lines of code.

View 1 RepliesI made flash player and i used that tutorial: HERE. Everything is good, but when one song is ending, next song's start is delay about 1-2 sec. You can say that is nothing in flash mp3 player, but if each other song is one short speaker sentence(there are about 10 one by one) it may be nervous. how to delete that delay? I don't need to have xml playlist. Just i want to start one by one(all playlist is about 300-400 loop/songs/mp3 files) without delay.
Now I think there is no way to delete that delay(how i can do it), but i have another idea. I will make one big file from 10 or 20 of that smaller, but i need to have in my player one thing more. When user will press start button, song won't start at 00:00/xx:xx but in random place. You know what i mean ? It will not start at start but somewhere else, in random place(maybe 00:21/xx:xx or 02:47/xx:xx or 01:02/xx:xx).

i have a swf with a list of images on the left and what i want to do is when i click in the image , it will creat an empty movieclip and send an image inside.i know how to do this, but the problem is that i have a 300x200, 200x300 and another sizes, but the max width and hiehgt is 300x300, so i need a 300x300 movieclip and my dificultie is to make the images stay exactly in the middle of the invisible movieclips o they dotn load around places i dont want to .im trying with this:
creating clips
this.createEmptyMovieClip("containerFoto", this.getNextHighestDepth());
containerFoto.createEmptyMovieClip("foto", containerFoto.getNextHighestDepth());
var fotoLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();[code].....
in this code the problem is that im notgettting the width and hieght of the image.
I wanted that, when I place the mouse on the button, a movieclip appears, but in a random place in the screen, with a random size and a random color and plays until all its animation is complete, and then disappear.How can I do that? I don't know even where to start!

I place a group of movie clips with random types (different shapes on a square) in a grid formation The code for placing the movie clips is this (this is in two for loops):
[Code]...
this goes up a single column in the grid and should remove the tiles from the stage depending on each type and it does this (sort of) until it tries to remove more than one of the same type. So if it finds and removes an lShapes it doesn't error until it tries to remove another lShapes and then it gives this error in the output: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. So I am assuming that this means it thinks all lShapes have been removed and thinks I'm trying to remove something that doesn't exist but there are other lShapes on the stage. I am at a loss as to what to do about this.

I was going through the chapter 9 topic of animating 3d elements in Todd Perkins Flash CS4 professional essential training on lynda by opening the file and following along by clicking into the movie clip, but doing so caused me to go into symbol editing mode. When he does it on the video he goes straight into the movie where you can see the other elements on the stage. I right clicked on the movie clip and noticed that edit in place is greyed out. Why can't i get into the movieclip so i can edit the animation while seeing the other elements on the stage? I've researched everywhere and i'm confused how i can be going into symbol editing mode directly from the stage. It is late on a sunday night and i am now questioning my sanity.
View 2 RepliesIs this possible with Flash?? I want to place a SWF in the top right of the webpage, and when people click on a link from the main menu on the left of the browser, it plays the SWF. This page is written in php, so there is no refreshing of the webpage, just the content.Basically think of an elevator user clicks on menu item, elevator wheel spins, and javascript loads new content....so the elevator wheel has to play everytime a link is clicked.

I have the following code which creates a series of squares with pictures on them. I then want to scale up the squares on a roll over event. The squares are placed in the x and z coordinates so they look like they are placed on top of each other. When you roll over a square it's scaled up and when rolling out it scales down. The problem is that I want the scaled square to be on top of the rest but I don't seem to be able to figure it out

I've been working on my new flash site for a few weeks, along with learning AS3, tackling problems as I encounter them and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me.
All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files I created play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive.
