Heart Beating Tween
How can I implement a tween simulting the heart beating.
var myTweenX:Tween=new Tween(myShiningLogo,"scaleX",Bounce.easeOut,1,0.6, 1,true);
var myTweenY:Tween=new Tween(myShiningLogo,"scaleY",Bounce.easeOut,1,0.6, 1,true);
this is almost what I want. But I would like the object to come back to initial dimensions. Should I use other 2 tweens ?
Heart Rate Monitor / ECG
My first real flash project is to create a heart rate monitor / ECG similar to http://www.durhamdales-pct.co.uk/Dalesflash.swf
I've searched the forum and found a few previous examples except all the links are dead. Does anyone still have an example they wouldn't mind sharing. I'd prefer the 'pulse' effect as shown above but a standard 'line' would be a start.
Any examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Heart Rate Monitor
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to making a HEART RATE MONITOR, or maybe show me some examples.

Platformer At Heart
Heh, hola all.. I'm kinda learning some actionscript. And having taken a break from flash, to learn some C++ I'm getting better at AS(yay). I was thinking about making a Mario-like clone in flash, and was wondering if anyone had some pointers to.. AS on flashkit that might help, I don't really know much about collision detection or anything, so anything for good ol' n00blet would be helpful. Thanks a lot .

Doing Heart Meter
Hi, can someone teach me how i can make the heart meter (those kind you find in hospital, normally in movies where the patient is in critical condition and the meter goes "deeeeeeeeeee").
I tried using lines, but the line doesn't seems to be moving. It's jus a straight line on the screen while i did the motion tween.

Heart Flash Movie
ive got this idea for a valentines day theme movie. what i want to do is have the 1st heart have "I" on it. have that zoom in to the left side of the screen. The 2nd heart has "Love" & want that to zoom in to the center of the screen. The 3rd heart has "You" & want that to zoom in to the right side of the screen.
ive created the effects in 3 seperate movies but i want all 3 layers in one movie. for example; when the 1st heart has finished the zoomed motion, i want it to stay on the screen. Then have the 2nd heart animation & have the 2nd heart to stay on the screen. Then follow that w/the 3rd heart animation & have that stay on the screen as well, so that all 3 hearts are on the screen at one time.
ive created a 2nd layer in the 1st movie but the original heart is in the 2nd layer & cant get it off the screen. & if i clear that heart of the 2nd layer, that would in turn remove it from the 1st layer wouldnt it?
i wish i could upload the movies so everyone can see what im talkin bout & get a better idea of what im tryin to do. any help will be greatly appreciatd. thanx.

Heart Fill Effect

You will see that I started a movie clip called 'fill movie' but i haven't finished it because i just don't get how to do the effect.
Any suggestions.????
Heart Fill Effect Pls Help
if you open up the file and look at the library - there should be a movie clip which i started which has a fill effect... except i don't think i'm doing it right. If there are any other suggestions as to how i can incorporate a fill effect for my heart i would be very greatful.
Thanx
Heart Monitor Simulation
Hi,
Fist let me apologize if this is the wrong area for this type of question. I am looking for a heart monitor movie that I can dynamically change based on user activity (via ActionScript). To do this, I need the rhythm to move at a constant rate, but the wave form needs to change.
I am sure flash can do this (I am using Flash 5) but I have not been able to see any examples to get a start from! Has anyone done this or even an oscilliscope simulator?
I have done a search of this site, but only turned up the cardiotraining sample. though it is well done, it does not satisfy my needs. Has anyone done anything similar?
Thanks in advance!

Suggestions For Realistic Heart Beat Effect
I'm trying (without success) to create the effect of a heart monitor machine using a/s (think of the electronic machine with black background and green line that peaks with each beat of the heart) but not having much success ... mainly as I'm trying to use the drawing API and don't have much experience with it. I'm using a/s rather than using mcs as I wanted the beats to fluctuate a little ... maybe even with a bit of sudden peaks and flat-lining in there!
Anyone got an suggestions on how I might be able to go about this?
Thanks
Tom

Flash A/S Php Email Form Giving Me A Heart Attack.
Hey everyone,
Just a quickie... i've got an email form that was working but some variable have changed and i cant seem to get my head around it any more but it wont work?
Basically its calling the php file i have on a seperate site from the one its running (which should be fine right?) and just incase i run the email form swf off the same site, so when the user clicks contact us it just calls the swf from this other site...
right, here's the actionscript in frame 1-
// set some variables
mailform = "http://www.myothersite.co.uk/code/mailform.php";
confirm = "please wait, getting confirmation ...";
action = "send";
// and focus on variable fname
Selection.setFocus("fname");
// validate email function
function validate(address) {
if (address.length>=7) {
if (address.indexOf("@")>0) {
if ((address.indexOf("@")+2)<address.lastIndexOf(".") ) {
if (address.lastIndexOf(".")<(address.length-2)) {
return (true);
}
}
}
}
return (false);
}
// form check
function formcheck() {
if ((((email == null)) || (email.length<1)) || (email == "ERROR! Address not valid")) {
email = "ERROR! Address not valid";
action = "";
}
if (!validate(email)) {
email = "ERROR! Address not valid";
action = "";
}
if (fname == null) {
fname = "ERROR! Name required";
action = "";
}
if ((validate(email)) && (email != "ERROR!") && (fname != "")) {
action = "send";
loadVariablesNum("mailform", 3, "POST");
gotoAndPlay("wait");
}
}
stop();
--
then in frame 5(frame label-wait)
loadVariablesNum("mailform", 3);
answer = confirm;
--
Then frame 6 (loop)
if (answer != confirm) {
gotoAndStop("done");
}if (answer != confirm) {
gotoAndStop("done");
}
--
Finally on frame 10 theres a gotoAndPlay("loop"); statement.
--
The only code i think is on the send button which is
on (press) {
formcheck();
}
Timer And Variable Rate
Haven't found this by searching....
I have a simple class that puts a fan on the stage, and when I click a button, the button starts a timer and the fan begins to rotate.
I would like to use a slider rather than a button to activate the fan, and what's more, I would like the fan to rotate faster or slower depending on the position I choose on the slider.
Any insights into how to do this? I believe it involves changing the delay, but I don't know how to do that.
Thanks,
Tim
Variable Frame Rate Problem
I set the properties of the flash movie to be 24 frames per second, but when I try running it (with an audio track in its own layer) I notice the frame rate is varying and as a result the music isn't synchronising with the movie in the way it should.
Anybody know what could cause this? I have no doubt this is going to be a very easy answer to this, but I am very new to flash development.
Beating The Login
I have a flash movie that starts out with a login. It's purpose is just to give the user a username. I want them to be able to use spaces, but I don't want them to just hit the spacebar a bunch of times. How do I make sure they use some combination of letters and numbers and not just a bunch of spaces and making it look like there is no name?
I restricted what they can input by using:
myText_txt.restrict = "A-Z a-z 0-9";
And, I can use the code below, but it won't help if they hit the spacebar.
if (myText_txt != "") {
//login;
}
Any suggestions?
Long Text Variable Slows Player Frame Rate
I have a Flash movie with some animation and a scrolling textbox, containing a large text variable (with HTML formatting).
For some reason the text appears to be slowing the frame rate of the movie to a snail's pace. If I remove the text, it plays at the correct speed.
Any ideas what might be causing this, and how I might resolve the problem would be greatly appreciated...

Ok, I've Been Beating Around The Bush But I Can't Figure It Out
I've been trying to get ideas to help me with what I'm trying to do, and everyone HAS helped me a lot... but I still can't figure it out! What I'm trying to do is have a ball always moving right; when it reaches a certain point... say frame 15 or getTimer()+whatever, then it will start over (moving right) but the rotation will be random and it will resume from the position that the last frame was at. So it's constantly moving, after a while it will turn a random direction and go that way, after a while it will turn... you get it. I've tried everything! OY!! If you want me to say what I've tried so that you have a starting point or so that you can see what I was doing wrong, please say so. Thanks
I Know Im Beating A Dead Horse.....
But someone has to have an idea
Here we go
Ok, I have a flash movie, this flash movie is a map with 52 movie clips, they all have an instance name of "section" with a number after it IE: section0 section1 and so on. Ok, In the main coding of my movie I have XML that passes thru ASP that changes the color of the movie clips depending on the variable that is in my database. I use SQL. Here is the coding in my movie
"
/* function sectorArray(){
var msectors, varColor, sid, ftxt
for(i=0;i<=rcrXML.childNodes.length;i++){
if(this.childNodes[i].nodeValue == null && this.childNodes[i].nodeName =="sectors"){
msectors=this.childNodes[i];
}
}
var msector
for (q=0;q<=msectors.childNodes.length;q++){
if(msectors.childNodes[q].nodeName=="sector"){
msector=msectors.childNodes[q];
sid=msector.attributes["id"];
for(j=0;j<=msector.childNodes.length;j++){
if(msector.childNodes[j].nodeName=="color"){
varColor=msector.childNodes[j].firstChild.nodeValue;}
}
changecolors(varColor,sid)
}
}
}
function changecolors(varColor,sid){
ftxt=new Color("section"+sid)
ftxt.setRGB("0x"+varColor)
}
rcrXML = new XML();
rcrXML.ignoreWhite = true;
rcrXML.onLoad = sectorArray;
rcrXML.load("zRcrXml.asp?mdsid=2")
stop ();

My question being, there has to be some way possible, to make a code that allows me to mouseover any of the movie clips, and they display the variable in the database that corresponds to their individual section number
Or am I just not going to get it cuz its not possible????
Delay Action Is Beating Me
I have a movie clip that comes to meet the mouse when the mouse hovers over the botom portion of the stage. The clip is scripted to move only along the x axis. When the mouse leaves that bottom area, The movie clip flies off the stage to the left or right, depending on which is closer.
What I want the movie clip to do is wait a few seconds before it flies off the stage when the mouse leaves the bottom area. That way if the mouse wanders from that area for a second or two, the movement of the movie clip won't be annoying. Here is my code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root._xmouse<795 && _root._xmouse>05 && _root._ymouse>405 && _root._ymouse<445) {
var distance = _root._xmouse-this._x;
if (this._x != _root._xmouse) {
this._x += .15*distance;
}
} else if (this._x<401) {
var homing_distance = -120;
if (this._x != homing_distance) {
this._x += .15*homing_distance;
}
} else if (this._x>400) {
var homing_distance= 820;
if (this._x != homing_distance) {
this._x += .02*homing_distance;
}
}
}
I have been messing with gettimer, but I can only get the delay to work once. I think set interval might be the key. Please help, this is driving me nuts!
Thanks
Beating The Popup Blocker
I have an aspx form that I need to load from a button as a popup but the blocker catches it. We tried to load it with getURL(javascript:window.open()), but the popup blocker(IE and a google popup blocker) caught it. Is there a way to make something popup on a user driven event like this? The thing is is that we could do it with "_blank" just fine but we also need to limit the size of the window scallability menubar and all that other stuff you can do with window.open. What do you guys suggest?
Beating The 16,000 Frame Barrier Without LoadMovie()
Heya folks.
I've been working ona personal Flash project for quite some time now. I was oblivious to the 16,000 frame limit until now. My movie is running at 30 fps and is between 10-12 minutes long, so as it turns out I'll be exceeding this limit by a fair amount. Cutting stuff out of my film or reducing the fps is not an option at this point in development, and this all need to be contained in one SWF. I really want to beat the barrier, and I have an idea, but I wanted to throw it out there to make sure it will work before I go through the trouble of doing it.
I'm assuming 16,000 frames is the limit for the main timeline, but the timelines of movie clips exist outside of this barrier. Could you realistically compile half the movie into an 8000 frame movie clip, put the other half of the movie into another 8000 frame movie clip, and then put these two movie clips on a 2-frame movie? The first movie clip would have actionscript that moved the main timeline to the second frame (and the second half of the movie) when it completed its 8000 frame run.
I've never tried this before. Would this work without defying any of the frame limits? If this idea is even theoretically sound but I'm missing something important, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Beating My Head Against A Wall Over Mappings And External Data
Ok, here's what I need to do.
I have a set of options, such as eye color. There are a variety of choices.
The choices are based on a previous variable.
What I would like to do is have an external file contain these choices in a mapping, such as eyecolor = (["blue", "green"])
In flash, I'll have a dynamic text box to display the choices (one at a time), and a left and right arrow to cycle through the various possibilities.
What's driving me crazy is turning those externally defined mappings into something flash can use, probably an array. That way I can have the buttons control a function that cycles through the array's indexes.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
XML Resize Thumbs (hope I'm Not Beating A Dead Horse)
Hello everyone! I've been all through these 60 some pages on this subject and didn't find what totally what I was looking for... of course eye strain might be a problem so if there is a thread to something I ask please tell me. I apologize in advance if I do. This is my first ever thread also.
Here is a zip of all my files so far. http://marazita.com/funstuff/gallery.zip First here is the link to Scotty's thumb resize that I've put into my .fla. V3_with_thumbs zip Mine doesn't work because what I'm trying to do is make the thumbs replace the mc's that I've added (each with an instance name thumb1, thumb2, etc.). As an artist I like to group images that belong in a group. Sometimes a group can have 3 sometimes 4, etc.. This is what's been wrong with what I've found in the threads so far. They've just been lumped into a certain amount to columns and rows. If you look at my files you'll understand better. I was also hoping that the thumbs would load like this zipped file http://marazita.com/funstuff/gallery_preloadthumbs.zip (which is another nice dynamic loaded one that you don't have control over either). Any help will be greatly appreciated and at the end I'll post my finished file to share with everyone since I've gained so much from this site I would like to also give back. This will help a lot of artists out there I'm sure. Thanks to all that help in advance. I have other questions... but lets do baby steps at first.

Help With Loading External Movie Clip(beating A Dead Horse)
Hello folks, I seem to have run into some problem with a project of mine. I have a Main movie which loads multiple external movies. I am using an empty movie clip called contents to load them into.
one of my external movies has a button in it that launches a centered pop up window(kirupa tutorial). This external movie named site works perfectly by itself, but when loaded into the main movie, the button does not work. I'm using:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("site.swf");
}
any input would be greatly appreciated.

Creating Text File - Or - "Beating A Dead Horse"
Hey Folks,
Please forgive me for revisiting this often-asked question, but...
I just installed Flash MX 2004, and was wondering if there was
any new functionality that allows the developer to create and
write to an external text file.
From what I've read, this is possible using PHP, ASP, etc... Though,
that requires access ta a PHP or ASP web server - something I don't
want to set up at this time. So, I guess I'm asking if there is any
way to create/write a text file without the help of PHP, ASP, or
a web server?
I'm inserting the movie in VB and using FSCommand to communicate
between the two - Flash input, VB create the file. This works, but
is not very elegant, not efficient, can't run it in IE, etc...
Can you do it using XML? Any other suggestions?
Thanks A Lot,

Going Rate?
I put this on the 'Client Side' forum but since a lot of my work will be in Flash I thought here would be good too.
I've been doing websites for myself, family and for the company I work for using Dreamweaver, Flash MX2004 and BBEdit. Lately I've been asked to do some outside work for paying customers. While Flash will be involved it won't be for any database work or even much AS.
I have both commercial and fine arts degrees.
Can anyone give me some guidelines for the going rate?
I'm in Minnesota, USA.
Thanks.
