Basic Actionscript
I'm a beginner in the scripting world. I need to know something about scripting syntax, where can I get an aesy overview?
My actual problem is to write a script for a christmascalender. I have 24 buttons on my first frame. If a button is pressed (eg 5. dec) it should send you forward to the keyframe named "5. dec." But if the actual date is not yet the 5. of december it should send you to the key frame named "foul".
Can anyone give me som help on this?

Very Basic Actionscript Help.
Hi all,

I'm still kinda new to actionscripting and i've some across a small problem while trying to create a quiz.

Currently, i have 1 input text box with instance name "q1" which is linked to the variable "song1"

Then i also have a button with actionscript

on (release) {
if (song1 = "Kurenai") {
}
var score = +1;
}

In the attempt to make the score variable increase if the word Kurenai is entered into the input box "q1"

Currently, whenever i click the button, it increases the variable and also changes the input box's text to Kurenai whatever is typed.

Could anyone help a newbie in distress?

thanks

Basic ActionScript Help
Hello,
I'm trying to learn the basics and I’m having trouble getting past some of the concepts. I have a very simple example I'm working on and I can't get it to work. The example is a getProperty, setProperty fade image in and out. Can someone please show me the way? I will attach the example, and put the code here. Also if you can give me a quick explanation on what I'm doing wrong I would be very grateful.. Thanks, Jacob.

Button One
code:
on(release){
image.fadeOutalpha = 95;
}

Button Two
code:
on(release){
image.fadeInalpha = 5;
}

Script on MC
code:
onClipEvent (load){
//Sets _alpha var to alph and sets _alpha to 100;
this._alpha = 100;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

// finds alpha for FadeOut (beginning at 100 %);
fadeOutalpha = getProperty(this, _alpha);

// finds alpha for FadeIn
fadeInalpha = getProperty(this, _alpha);

// if the new pic alpha is 0, fade it up to 100
if (fadeOutalpha < 100) {
setProperty(this, _alpha, fadeOutalpha - 5);

// if the old pic alpha is 100, fade it down to 0
if (fadeInalpha > 0) {
setProperty(this, _alpha, fadeInalpha + 5);
}

}
}

[MX] I Need Basic Actionscript Help Now T_T
I recently acquired the new Adobe version of Flash. Back then, I used FlashMX

Its been over a year since I last used Flash, and I only know the basics back then. Right now, I'm back to nothing I guess. The only things I remember are basic animation.

The thing is, I am very unfamiliar again with flash and I need some basic as in BASIC actionscript help.

I need the codes to...

1. Make a button that will make it go to the next frame on click

2. Make a button that will make it go to a frame that I want it to go on click

just give me what will work. I need this for our presentation tommorow. I decided to not use powerpoint for the presentation and use Flash for an added 'oomph' for the grades.

if my presentation were in powerpoint, there would be like, one 'main menu' slide allows me to choose which 'slide' i want to present. then there is a go back to main menu button which will allow me to choose another slide to present.

thanks!

Basic Actionscript Help
I have a movieclip called scroll.

Within scroll is another MC called scroller. Attached to scroller is the following code:

onClipEvent(load) {
speed = -2}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

currentPosy = this._x;
if (currentPosy > -510.8) {
this._x = this._x + speed;
} else {
this._x = 245;
}
}

Within this movieclip are a series of buttons side by side.

This group of images needs to constantly scroll to the left and loop (Which it does great.)

BUT I need to figure out how to stop this scrolling when one of the buttons has been rolled over and then on Rollout needs to resume movement. (These buttons need to be clickable in order for navigation.)

I can't figure out what code needs to go on the button to make the parent movieclip with the above code stop and start.

Again my movieclip structure is scroll>scroller (where the onClipevent code is)>All of my buttons.

Any help is appreciated. (if I need to completely change things up that is fine too...)

Thanks!

Help Basic Actionscript
I am making a game for a project at uni

I have got the game working apart from sorting out the high scores.

I have got the application split up into scenes. Game scene and High Score page.

When the time reaches 0 the High Score page is shown. I have a dynamic text box in the High Score page and I need it to take the score from the Game Scene score_txt (dynamic text box)

Can anyone help please?

I have tried using global variables and even using the same dynamic text box from the game page. I use _root but I think you need something else to refer to a different scene.

Thankyou

Actionscript Basic Help I Think
Dear actionscripters out there, unfortunately i am not one

i have a health variable which i need to be able to decrease at a reasonable rate. As at the moment i decreases randomly by 2 at too high a rate. I have seen you cannot change the frame rate so i cannot solve it this way. Any help here would be appreciated.

Help With Basic Actionscript
Hi I am new to Flash and am making a web site. I have buttons which I would like to load .swfs onto a stage. I converted a rectangle into a movie clip and am trying to load my .swfs in the stage(am i at all close?). Am I going about this correctly?

And what would my actionscript be to load a movie clip if my stage is called "stage" and my clip is called "registration"?

I will probably have more questions thanks.

Basic Actionscript
Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie learning Flash and actionscript. I made a simple flash
design where I have two buttons on the left and two simple
MC animations to play on the main stage, one for each button.

I placed the buttons on their own layer in frame one.
I placed the two MC's on another layer on frames 9 and 20.
On the two buttons I used the AS:

on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("9");
}

AND

on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("20");
}

Respectively.

The .swf does work, that is, the two buttons play their scripted animations.

I have two questions now...

1) When I press the first button it plays the animation, and the short
animation stops because it has its own "stop();" on its last frame of its timeline.
BUT when it is done playing and I press its button again why
doesn't it just play again. It only plays once. I have to press the
second button and watch that animation and then go back and press the
first button to play the 1st animation. Why won't either animation play repeatedly by just
repeatedly pressing its button?

2) Is there any other type of script I could have used than referring to
the frame labels that the MC's are on? In other words I tried to find AS
that would refer directly to the instance names of the two animations
to play them directly by their names, rather than directly by frame label.

Hope that makes sense. I zipped the .fla file if you want to look at it.
I Norton scanned it first!

Thanks for helping a beginner!

Joe

Hi, Basic Actionscript Here
i think i am turning from a newbie just into intermediate. so i'm giving you some basic actionscript.feel free to add any of yours. But make sure you give intructions how to use it .

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
startDrag("", true);
Mouse.hide();
}

This is the cursor code, simply just create your cursor and then convert it to a MC(movieclip). And then paste the code into the MC actions.

on (press) {
startDrag("");
dragging = true;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
dragging = false;
}

The drag code exacly the same obove, just convert the object you want to drag into a MC and put the AS(actionscript) into the MC actions.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.UP)){
this._y -= 5;

}
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)){
this._y += 5;

}
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
this._x -= 5;
}

}onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
this._x += 5;
}

}

I know you dont have to have the onClipevent everytime but i left it like that incase you only wanted 1,2,3 movements. Convert the oject you want to move to a MC and put the AS into the actions box.

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.cross)){
_root.score+=1;
}
}

Score code, i'll explain, when the object(the one with the AS in it) hits the object Cross it will score a point. Only if you have a dynamic text box with the varible name of score. Dont forget it will not work unless you have the AS on your frame
_root.score = 0;

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(_root.bad)){
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

exacly the same but it will go to a diffrent frame.

Hope that helps

Basic ActionScript / XML Help...
I'm trying to create a very simple proof-of-concept flash file that will read in text from an xml file and then using the tween class, fade and scoot to the center of the screen. This should be much easier than the difficulty I'm experiencing and help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my current code:

// import tween and easing classes \
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

var numOfItems:Number;

// set text field alpha to 0 at runtime (THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR SOME REASON)
theText._alpha = 0;

var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;

xml.onLoad = function(mover)
{
var nodes = this.firstChild.childNodes;
numOfItems = nodes.length;
for(var i=0; i<numOfItems; i++)
{
var t = theText2.theText.text = nodes[i].attributes.mytext;
}
}
xml.load ("text.xml");

function mover()
{
for (var i=0;i<numOfItems;i++)

{
var tw1:Tween = new Tween(t,"_x",Strong.easeOut,t._x,Stage.height/2,1,true);
var tw2:Tween = new Tween(t,"_y",Strong.easeOut,t._y,Stage.width/2,1,true);
var tw3:Tween = new Tween(t,"_alpha",Strong.easeOut,0,100,1,true);
}
}

And here is my very basic XML file

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>

<labels>
<label mytext="Here is some text."/>
</labels>

I only have a simple dynamic text field with an instance name of "theText" and since I couldn't get it to animated I placed inside of a movie clip with an instance name of theText2. It reads in the xml file okay but it does not animate anything. Hope that someone can help...

Basic Actionscript Not Working Help
Hi..

Ive built an interface that uses various movie clips that appear/disapear as you roll over the menu buttons. In these movie clips are a range of buttons with various choices. They will load movies into a base movie eventually. However the protype uses different scenes rather than movies.

Ive also added a OnclipEvent that closes the menu when the mouse is released anywhere on the screen. This is done by a goto action guiding to a blank frame within the movie clip.

The problem is with the buttons inside the movie clip itself. Ive attacthed actions to go to a particular scene on press. The idea is it will go to the scen then the menu will close as the mouse is released. The menu itself works pefectly but the inside buttons will not move to another scene?

Ive tried _root. and without root before the gotAndStop action but it still doesn't work?

Any help would be appreciated...

some thing like

if "button a" is pressed it goes to the "transition scene" then to "scene a"

if "button b" is pressed it goes to the "transition scene" then to "scene b"

so on and so forth...

I'm a reletive newbie at this .. and i'm having trouble thinking up a solution based on my knowledge.

Basic Navigation Actionscript Help Please
Hi. I have a basic question with regards to the Actionscript I should be using for my buttons. I am using Flash MX - not 2004. Please see my attached fla.

My problem is when you click on "Benefits of Product" everything works fine. Then if you click on "How Product Works" for some reason the animation movie clip on the Benefits page jumps back to it's first frame before fading out. I'd like it to fade from where it's played up to while you've been viewing it. This happens with all of the animations in my full fla. Is there any way I can do this?

I think I should be using different actionscript for the buttons than what I have - some code in the first frame telling the buttons which one is clicked, and then code for each button, but I don't know the exact code I have to write. I've spent several hours trying different things, but none seem to work.

Is anyone able to help me, and please can you write it as simply as possible. I'm a designer wanting to learn how to program... I'll get there one day!

Basic Actionscript Question
Here is the situation.

I have built a movie on the main stage.
I have an "enter" button inside a movieclip, which sits on the stage.
I also have a "footer" movieclip on the stage.

The footer mc contains various tweens of the footer's position. Each tween has a lable. When someone clicks on the enter button, the footer drops down, creating more space to load in an external MC. But I have a problem.

The actions for the enter button are:

on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(131);
footerMC.gotoandplay(client);
}

As you can see, the line "footerMC.gotoandplay(client);" is wrong.

My question is, how can I target this footer MC, and tell it to play a certain lable within the clip....all from the enter button?

Thanks in advance. =)

i'm making a photo gallery.. and each picture slides on and off the screen. so i have movies with each photo that slide on (stop) slide off (stop).

so in scene 1, frame 1, "movie_01" starts, then i need it so when you click the next button it slides off.. then goes to frame 2 of scene 1.

the two on(release)'s work fine on their own.. but i don't know how to say after going to *this* do *that*

Code:
on (release) {
movie_01.gotoAndPlay(13);
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

To start, the text will be 'medium' and clicking the down button will change it to easy, clicking the up button will change it to hard.

I will then do if functions to change the difficulty of the game. I cant get my head round this basic stuff!

Please help

This is the code i have tried

_root.difficultyDown_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (difficulty_txt==medium){difficulty_txt==easy}
}

can anyone help?

Learning Basic Actionscript
I'm trying to learn actionscript and am having difficulty finding a starting point that is basic enough and explains things in a step by step fashion. All of the books and tutorials seem to be at an intermediate level. They direct you to cut and paste code that's already written without explaining where the code comes from, how it's connected to the assets, or why the syntax is written the way it is. Can anyone recommend how a person can start learning actionscript? I got no concrete assistance from customer service other than try looking at the message boards and the books out there. I feel like I'm groping around in the dark and that it shouldn't be so hard considering that so many people have learned actionscript somehow. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Basic Actionscript Trouble In CS3

In CS3 for some reason when I make a button, look in the properties window and the button windows there (which tells me I'm on the buttons layer) but when I go to put the actionscipt in, it doesnt allow it. It says "Cannot add actionscript because blah blah". It only allows it with the frame, not the button if that makes any sence. Why is this?

From Visual Basic To Actionscript
a little background:
I've developed a small program that can calculate the molecular weights of amino acid sequences. I used visual basic.net to develop the program. My layout so far consists of two windows (side-by-side): the left window is for copy pasting a sequence (e.g. ARNW) then the left window outputs the molecular weight of the sequence based on the individual weights of the acids (e.g. A = 71, R = 156, N = 114, W = 186: so, the second window outputs 527, corresponding to A+R+N+W). Basically, ARNW goes in the 1st window and 527 is shown on the second window. It's also set to work for any sequence of letters put in (e.g. maybe the student only puts RW in so, 342 would come out) . I also have two buttons: “Clear” (to clear all fields) and “Calculate” (to perform calculations).

the problem:
I'd like to make a readily accessible flash version of the program to be viewed on the web. Any ideas on how i'd go about accomplishing the above using actionscript? Namely, how would i go about coding the the "clear" button to clear the fields and the "calculate" button to perform the desired calculations? Thanks for your time and help.

Basic Motion With Actionscript
It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.

Basically I'd like to do this:

On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I know how to do this with motion tween, but I'd really like to know how to do this with actionscript.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Basic Actionscript Question
Hi, sorry to be a pain, but during a rather steep learning curve with Flash there's still one probably simple thing that I can never seem to grasp. I'm trying to be a good girl and learn all the right ways to do things (which isn't easy when everyone has a different idea of what that is!) but my main problem is keeping code on the main timeline, preferably in one nice neat little frame.

This is because when the code occurs, some of the objects don't exist yet (for example a button on the second frame of a movieclip that is stopped on the first frame). I understand that bit. My problem is how to fix that.

I've been doing the dodgy on some recent projects involving hiding the button in the first frame of the MC with alpha, so it does exist, but that just seems messy to me. I've seen a few bits around about declaring variables at the start (ie var myMC:MovieClip), but that doesn't seem to do anything either. I'm sure that's probably where my answer lies, but I can't seem to get it to work for me. Or is it just hitting the checkbox for "Export at runtime" or something similar?

I'd really appreciate a bit of a leg-up with this. It's driving me nuts!

Thanks heaps.

Basic Actionscript Question
I'm trying to make a presentation in Flash MX 2003. What I need to do is every time the down arrow is pressed it goes to a different frame in the animation. Also it needs to play a movie clip too. What is the actionscript for this?

Basic Actionscript Problem
Real Basic, but a stupid thing I can't get to work properly.

Okay, I have a MovieClip and It has a button within it with rollover and rollout actions. It also has a on(release) action telling the main movie to go to scene 62 and to load a new movie. Everything works great EXCEPT it will not go to frame 62. I have the action:

on(release){
gotoAndStop("main",62);
loadMovie("rules.swf", _root.window);
}

It loads the movie, but won't go to frame 62... could someone please help me with this stupid problem?

Thanks!

Basic Actionscript Navigation
I need help with some basic actionscript navigation that eases content on and off the stage. I once found a tutorial to help me do this with a sort of if/then process, but am having no luck finding it again.

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this again? Thank you.[/b]

Basic Time Delay Via Actionscript
I'm hoping someone would not mind writing a little snippet, I'm sure anyone how knows little about actionscripting can do this, but so far I know very-little, soon to change.

Anyway I want one frame to stop, loop a var +1 until it reaches a certain number then play. Simple I suppose.

Basically a way to pause a movie with actionscript.

I wish I could whip this little code out, in fact I'll try and put it here so you can see that so far I just don't get how.

Cheers

Dustin

Some Basic Actionscript Help Needed With This File
Hi

I'm having problems working out the basic Actionscript needed to make these buttons work.

I need the buttons in the attached fla. file to play the indicated links without opening the Windows Media Player - ie, I need a bit of Actionscript using the FSCommand that will tell each button to play an embedded 'invisible' Media Player (Result: when a user clicks one of the 3 buttons, he/she can hear the streaming radio, but doesn't see Windows Media Player)

I've attached:

- .fla file
- .html file (Windows media player needs to be invisible)

Has anyone done this before? Can anyone help??? (I was told it was really simple)

Rob
