_x Tween Trouble
I am unable to tween into a specific position. Here is the code that I am using.
if (_root.arrow._x>330) {
_root.arrow._x-=70;
gotoAndPlay("loop");
} else{
gotoAndStop(1);
}
When I replace "-=70" with "--" I can hit the exact spot that I am going for, but it does not move fast enough.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Fade In Tween Trouble...
maybe i'm completely crazy... i'm trying to tween a mc symbol... just a simple alpha fade... on the main timeline of a swf... he symbol is made of dynamic text embeded... but of two different text boxes... converted to grapic symbols... on two different layers... in the mc symbol... is there something wrong with me...? it wont tween... i've tried it with one layer... i've tried it grouping them... i need the fonts to be two different sizes in the one symbol...

help... it's probably something silly...

Tween Class Trouble
An swf is worth a thousand words, so....

Please go to http://www.datapixel.eu/datapixel.htm

and watch yourself. When you click on "Apri Menu" (Open Menu in english) an animation made with the Tween class shows.

It should enlarge the green panel in order to show the buttons. And IT DOES! .... sometimes.

Instead sometimes the animation stops prematurely and the menu is not correctly viewed. Do you know what's happening?

Thanks.

Trouble With The Tween Class
I'm having trouble with this code, it's for tweening Thumbnails in a photo gallery application I'm building:


Code:
var tween:Tween = new Tween(Thumbnails[Thumbnails.cur_thumbnail], "_alpha", mx.transitions.easing.Strong.easeIn, 40, 100, 1, true);
Thumbnails.cur_thumbnail = new_thumbnail;
What happens is while the tween variable is tweening the value of Thumbnails.cur_thumbnail changes therefore cutting off the tween before it gets started or at least I'm assuming this is what's happening.

How do I get around this? Thanks.

Tween Class Trouble
Well, firstly, excuse my poor english... I guess its not so good, but I hope you can understand me.

Well, I have imported the tween class at my .fla file with:

-------
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
-------

as everywhere says it must be done. Later, I use:

-------
ROLLOVER:
var tw:Tween=new Tween(plano_mc, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,40, 100, 40, false);

var tw2:Tween=new Tween(plano_mc, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,40, 100, 50, false);
-------

inside a function that i call on the rollover method for the movieClip I want to tween.

The trouble comes in the rollOut method, where I have this code:

-------
ROLLOUT:
var tw:Tween=new Tween(plano_mc, "_xscale", mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 100,40, 1, true);
var tw2:Tween=new Tween(plano_mc, "_yscale", mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut, 100,40, 1, true);
-------

After the user rolls out, and even after the rollOut tween is well done, it resizes to the 100%, even if I'm out of the hitArea for the rollOver. All this instead of staying at the 40% of _xscale and _yscale, that is what I wanted the class to do (you can see it in the parameters of the tween).

It only happens in the rollOut method, because the rollOver doesn't get resized after is called as well as the rollOut... It should be logical if it should happen at both methods, but it just happens at RollOut, and even, each time I rollOut, is just one (or both sometimes) property which gets resized (sometimes the _yscale, other times the _xscale....). Is there any explanation for this???

I want to erase this error, that I can't find why happens. My only explanation is that Robert Penner did a bad class, but I don't really trust it because he is a Flash master and I'm just a beginner, so, please
pleeeeeaaaase!, anybody help me!
Thank you very much!

Tween Class Trouble
I have 2 tweens. I want my first one to be around 50% completed to start my second one. How do I do that ?


Code:
var Tween_right:Tween = new Tween(_root.mc_holder.mc_backgroundBlue, "_x", Strong.easeOut, 0, 525, 1, true);

var AlphaUp:Tween = new Tween(obj, "_alpha", Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
AlphaUp.stop();

Trouble With HitTestPoint And Tween
Hi guys,
I'm having a trouble with hitTestPoint and tween. Well, if you look at the code you will understand what I am trying to archive here.

---------------------
var action:Tween;
target01.alpha = 0.6;
target01.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, transition01);
function transition01(event:Event):void {
if (target01.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true)) {
action = new Tween(target01, "alpha", Strong.easeOut,0.6, 1, 1, true);
} else {
action = new Tween(target01, "alpha", Strong.easeOut,1, 0.6, 1, true);
}
}
---------------------

Yes, that's right. I'm trying to make the movie clip 'target01' to fade in once the mouse pointer roll-overs, and fades out when roll-out. But tween actions don't work...
Yes, I did MouseEvents instead, but it is not the way I want it.. Please help me outta here guys.

Trouble With A Shape Tween
Howdy guys,
I got this problem with a shape tween in my project. Its basically a CBt type of deal. But the problem is when u click on a button and go to the page, a shape tween of a semi-transparent box betting bigger is supposed to happen, it is also a movie clip. It happens inside of it. It happens in the flash file, but when I export it it goes all wierd. The box is supposed to come from the top left and go to the right bottom. But when it plays it only shows the right side line.
Are both the timelines supposed to be the same amount. There both 10 frames. Any kind of help will be greatly appericated.
thanks

Tween Class Trouble
I don't use Tween class often, so don't scold me if this is an obvious question.

When I set up a simple Tween, it works if I assign a specific object's instance name as the object to tween. But when doing it inside a for loop, it doesn't work. Yet everything else within the for loop works. I've tested every variable, and it's the object name that doesn't work. Here is a simplified version of the code. Someone please tell me what I've done wrong.









Attach Code

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
for (var k:Number = 1; k<15; k++) {
var dakine = this["letter"+k];
dakine.onPress = function() {
this._xscale = this._yscale=90;
this.startX = this._x;
this.startY = this._y;
startDrag(this);
};
dakine.onRelease = dakine.onReleaseOutside=function () {
stopDrag();
this._xscale = this._yscale=100;
var letterUp:Tween = new Tween(this, "_x", Bounce.easeOut, this._x, this.startX, 2000);
};
}

Having Trouble With Tween Navigation (New To Flash)
http://douglas.mackenzie.natcoll.net...lash/index.swf
http://douglas.mackenzie.natcoll.net...lash/index.fla
is the link to the flash file.

The problem I am having is that it only tweens once. I wanted to be able to go back and forth - It just doesn't seem to respond after the first click.

Also it always goes the same way no matter where it's clicked. Can anyone work this out?

If anyone has time to read over this code it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Trouble With 1st Kirupa Flash 8 Tween Tutorial
Hi,

I'm on a Mac and a Flash MX 2004 user. I attempted to do Kirupa's very basic animation tweening tutorial to get myself going with Flash 8, but I cannot get it to work.

The motion works fine, but when I introduced the alpha part, it started behaving erratically. It just won't fade IN.

I am familiar and comfortable with animation tweens involving motion and fades in MX 2004...

I tried just doing a fade in for a single letter, not even inside a movie clip (as the tutorial has you do), and didn't use motion -- just a fade in: Can't even get that to work.

Any ideas? Some silly thing I overlooked??

Thanks!

Tween Class Trouble (based On The Tutorial)
Hey hey hey.

I was gonna have a fiddle with this tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tween.htm
so I downloaded, unzipped, saved and published it. I didn't have a chance to fiddle with anything and it's already broken! I get this:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 5: There is no property with the name 'onMotionFinished'.
xScaleT.onMotionFinished = function() {

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=actions, frame=1:Line 8: There is no property with the name 'onMotionFinished'.
xPosT.onMotionFinished = function() {

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2


Any ideas why guys? Cheers in advance.

Edit: MX04 by the way.

Scope Trouble... Unregister/ Remove Object / Tween ?
Hi,

I hope somebody can help with the following problem.
I'm trying to make a powerpoint kind of projector:
- Main flash movie: works as a container to load different flash files.
reacts on the left and right arrow buttons to go to the next or previous movie, which is loaded in a movieClip.

- Several external swf files all exported from the same: slide.fla only adjusting xml node settings make the differences in text and pictures.
This works, but after loading into the container I use to show the images the tween of my images gets messed up. (Not in the first loaded movie, but sure after around the third)

Please can anybody look at my code and tell me what could be the problem?
I'm sure it has to do with the scope after loading into the container.fla, and all the objects having the same name, for the submovies. (exported from the same .fla)
Do I have to unregister/ remove these objects after usage - I think this might be it, but don't know how.

In the container.fla I already set:
clipLoader_mc._lockroot = true;
but this doesn't solve the problem.


Code:

[fcs3]
Hello, novice here

Right the basic problem is this:

I have one Main.swf file and I’m importing symbols from a seperate.swf using the import for runtime sharing options. What I have in the Main.swf is a container symbol and in the separate.swf file I have a symbol containing a bmp that needs to scale up at runtime when it is imported by the Main.swf to fit the size of the container symbol. Do you know if this is this possible?

I have the importing/exporting part working fine, it is just the scaling that I can’t get to work. Any ideas

[Fcs3]
hi, ive been trying to make myself a portfolio using flash cs3, and so far everythings been running pretty smoothly, ive been following a tutorials by cartoonsmart.com, but ive started running into some trouble now, i created a function that tweens out a section off to the side when i click on a new section, but for some reason the tween refuses to work with certain sections...even tho the code for each section is identical...

heres the code:

frame one(the function)

Code:
function swapSections(){

if (sectionVar == "home"){
new mx.transitions.Tween(home_section, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , 95.0, 800, 30, false);
}
if (sectionVar == "about"){
new mx.transitions.Tween(about_section, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , 75, 800, 30, false);
}
if (sectionVar == "contact"){
new mx.transitions.Tween(contact_section, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , 95, 800, 30, false);
}
if (sectionVar == "sigs"){
new mx.transitions.Tween(sigs_ection, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , 75, 800, 30, false);
}
if (sectionVar == "sites"){
new mx.transitions.Tween(sites_section, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , 95, 800, 30, false);
}

}
frame 50(home)

new mx.transitions.Tween(home_section, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , -700, 95, 30, false);

// function called to move out the old section (this function is on frame 1)
swapSections();

//variable used in the function above to determine the current section
sectionVar = "home";

stop();
frame 60 (about me)

Code:
new mx.transitions.Tween(about_section, "_x", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut , -700, 75, 30, false);

// function called to move out the old section (this function is on frame 1)

[fCS3] Why? Just Why?
Sorry about the unclearness of the title but that's the question i have been asking myself all day!

I am making a part in my flash game where you can select the level. I have made an input text box and set the var name to levelinput. Then i made a button and gave it this code:


Code:
on(release, keyPress"<Enter>"){
if(levelinput.toLowerCase eq "tutorial"){
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", "tutorialstart");
}else if(levelinput.toLowerCase eq "level1"){
gotoAndStop("Scene 3", "hsstart");
}else{
gotoAndStop("Scene 1", "invalidlvl");
}
}


for some reason i always get the invalidlvl frame. I would really appreciate some help guys, cos i haven't even done the main part of the game yet, and i don't like moving on while things don't work.


oh, btw, i made sure the frame labels are correct and used the script assist to confirm it. nothing wrong with the code... I followed a tut on this kind of thing and that didn't work either....

[FCS3] Actionscript 2 Or 3?
Hi

I've been learning flash for about a year, and have slowly been trying to get to grips with using actionscript (2). I normally grab bits of script from forums and tutorials and piece and adapt them to how I need.

Thing is, I really want to understand what I'm using and to be able to write my own script. With that in mind, am I best to forget the basic knowledge of AS2 and learn AS3? Or should I attempt to learn AS2 first, then AS3???

Also, if anyone could reccomend a book or tutorial that would be good to learn with, that would be great!!

Thanks
Wayne

[fCS3] Can't Add Actionscript To MC
Ok so i'm trying out fCS3, and I can't seem to add actionscript to MC's. I click on the MC, press the button with the arrow on the bottom pannel/right click then hit actions, and it says that I can't add actionscript to it. Am I pressing the right button or what? and also when I import/open something from F8 that already has actionscript it adds a panel with Actions - MC. and yes I am aware that fCS3 uses actionscript 3, is it that or what am i doing wrong? lol yes a very noob question. ty for any answers

[FCS3]How To Call External SWF's
I am creating an eLearning class using Flash CS3.

I would like to use basic controls to control the class (i.e. play, next, back). What I am trying to figure out is how to each new slide.

Example: At the main menu screen users have three different chapters they can go to, each chapter is a seperate .SWF file. How do I call this SWF so that it loads and plays, without it being in a seperate FLV playback window?

Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? I am sure it is possible, but I am new and ignorant.

I do not want to use the slide show application becaquse it only supports AS 2.

[FCS3] Dynamic Layers
How do I dynamically control which object is shown above or below another? I want to create a rotating menu, where icons are revolving around a vertical axis. So the icons in the foreground will eventually become icons in the background and thus their view will get obstructed by the icons coming into the fore.

I'm figuring that the actionscript is needed to dynamically assign assets to layers. How do I achieve this?

(I haven't touched flash in ages and this may not be the correct place to post this)

[FCS3] Interface Annoyance
This is driving me nuts.

I'm using CS3 and since I like a large screen I'm in the habit of docking everything and collapse/expand my libraries. I also keep my properties panel docked at the bottom. Before, when I opened the library panel, it used to show up over everything. Now, I don't know which wrong button I pressed but the bottom of it keeps getting covered by the properties panel. The only way I can have it on top of properties is if I undock properties, which isn't what I want. Can any gurus out there help me with this annoying issue? Thanks in advance.

[FCS3] Including Php Links
I am working on a HTML/PHP site which uses php links to forward/include a refID. The links within the HTML have changed from standard HTML <a href="page.html"> to PHP <a href="<?writeLink('page.php')?> so the refID will always remain in the address bar for the contact.php page to pick up when relevant.

This is all fine, however I also use an animated Flash map to link to (for example) page.php. How can I update the standard getURL links in my Flash file to carry this RefID onwards?

The writelink code is:
<?
function writeLink($strLink)
{
echo $query_string;
$refId = $_GET["ref"];
if ($refId=="")
{
echo $strLink;
}
else if (parameterAlreadyExists()==true)
{
echo $strLink."?id=".$_GET["id"]."&ref=".$refId;
}
else
{
echo $strLink."?ref=".$refId;
}
}
function parameterAlreadyExists()
{
if ($_GET["id"]=="")
{

return false;
}
else
{

return true;
}

}

Not sure if I'm just being dumb, but I've spent hours trawling through various sites and Flash/PHP tutorials without finding the answer! Any help, as always, would be appreciated.

Class Exclusion In FCS3
Hi all :)

My question is related to the exclusion of classes during the compilation of a fla file (not using the Flex Builder !!!) using AS3. Simply, I'm searching a way to do the same as the exclude.xml using AS2. As I want to set a Document Class to my fla, I cannot use a describeType-solution or a solution
like that :(
Is there a way to do that ? I already launched a topic on Media-Box [FR] but it seems that isn't possible yet...

Best regards !

Flex And Fcs3 Not Playing Well Together

Flex And Fcs3 Not Playing Well Together
i havent woked on any as3 projects in a few months but now am getting back at it with a new project although now fcs3 and flex dont want to play well together like they used to.

first problem is when i have a movieclip in fcs3 linked to a AS3 class and put another movieclip inside it (in fcs3) and give it a variable name and try to declare it in the AS3 class

Code:
public class Puzzle1 extends MovieClip{
public var myImg:MovieClip;
it gives me this error: 1151: A conflict exists with definition myImg in namespace internal.

my second problem is when i try to pass tat same Puzzle1 class to another class it wont let me

Code:
public var pGrid:PGrid = new PGrid(this);
it gives me this error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type game.p1uzzle1.
but if i pass it in as a MovieClip it works fine, this i know can not be right.

any ideas on what the problem could be?

[FCS3] Class Limit?
There are 77 classes in my project and around 30 of them are linked to MovieClips. If I do a size report it says that my Actionscript classes are 110296 bytes.

I am having a mysterious problem. I have a MovieClip, and I would like to link a class to it in the library.

But I get the following error:

The class or interface 'gui.screens.game.ContinueGame' could not be loaded.

The class at the moment is empty (see code below), although I have tried renaming, deleting and recreating it a few times.


Code:
class gui.screens.game.ContinueGame extends MovieClip {
public function ContinueGame() {

}
}
I have also tried linking the class to other MovieClips that have been successfully linked other classes before - which didn't work.

I have tried linking other classes I have used before to the MovieClip - which worked. So the problem lies with the linking of the specific class. Since I have tried renaming it, I'm wondering if there is you can only link a certain number of classes or something. Or I am missing something obvious and will kick myself when I find it.

[FCS3] Help: Animated Navigation Bar
i'm trying to create a nav toolbar of some sort like the one that was mentioned here.
being an actionscript newbie relying on kirupa tutorials i am stumped on a few items.

questions.

1. how do i make the buttons inside the scrolling mc or any animated mc to work.
2. i am able to swap the z order of the scrolling items using swapDepths using "onRelease"... how do i make it work on something like "onRollOver"?
3. is there a way to maintain the object spacing on the scrolling items while the focused item is enlarged?

...i know there was one more question in my head... i kinda forgot what it was. update this post when i remember it =]

any help would be appreciated.

thanks!

Logging On With Flash (FCS3.AS2)
i've looked on the site and it doesn't quite have what i need (great site btw)

anyway this is what im looking for.

actionscript 2 for;
a stand alone flash program
that several users can log on
and multiple accounts can be made
and it will save and remember where the user was if they log in again

basically i'm making a puzzle flash game

if they finish level 1 level 2 gets unlocked and level 3 after level 2 is complete.

i'm thinking of heading on the lines of

if the user logs on and plays the variables (level 1, level 2, level 3) change from false to true until they complete the previous level (with the exception of level 1 always being true)

then when logging on again if the name and password is the same as previously used then they will be able to resume from either level 1 2 or 3 (they will have to start from the beginning of the puzzle naturally, not from their last move)

so is there any way to do this without mySQL and without PHP? or do i have to use them? because i'm using a stand alone flash file and at most use a simple .txt or an .xml file.

also its preferred that all scripting done on the first frame and not on buttons and using instance names not the var box down in the bottom right hand corner.
(if not ill translate it on my own)

fast help will be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance!!

PS im not a flash wiz or anything... i just know the basics...

[FCS3] Problems With Gotoandplay And GetURL?
I just started using Flash CS3 and am trying to do something seemingly very simple. All I want to do is loop Scene 2 and have the flash movie link to a certain web page. I managed to get it to loop Scene 2, but once I added the button with the link, it stopped looping. I'm not sure if I even have the link working either.

I made a mockup of my FLA. This is exactly how I do it in my real FLA.

Any help is appreciated

[fcs3-as2] Save Listbox To File...
Hi again,
Well, using AS2, because I just don`t know whats to great about AS3 above AS2 yet. I`m used to Delphi, so maybe AS3 would be better, but for now, it`s AS2

And to the question;
I`m making a little program. It contains lists witch can be edited (add/remove/edit-line). It`s holding information like programs/games/movies and stuff you`v got on your computer.

All the buttons are working, but I still need one more thing; save the lists to a .txt file(or .ini, or whatever).

How do I do this? Just a simple methode to save all the lines in a way that they can be read back again. (Need help with the read thing too..)
And is there any way to "hold" the information inside the flashfile as long as it`s running? Because, I`v got 5 areas witch loads on different keyframes (depending on what cathegory you click on in the main menu) and each time I switch to another place on the timeline and back again, the text is gone...
Would work to just save/load each time too...

Thanks in advance!

[FCS3]Simple Textbox Problem

[fCS3] How Do I Break Out Of A Movie Clip?
Ok, this is confusing.

I have made a button inside a movieclip. I have a applied actionscript to the button. The actionscript has an IF statement which, when true, should take me to a frame on the main timline that i have labeled "window". however, this doesn't work.

basically how can i get a button in a movieclip to take me to somewhere on the main timline?

[Fcs3] Tricky Carousel Question...
hi...

Just a simple carousel based question, (it's tricky for me though). I was utilising the tutorial over at gotoandlearn. I'm trying to load a mc from the library in flash instead of an external movie via the xml file...


Code:
<icon image="img/frame7.png" tooltip="Funky" movie="funky.swf" />
^^^ is an example of a line of code in the xml file which loads an external movie into a mc called myLoader in the main flash movie.

Any ideas how to use a library item instead of an external movie. I've tried code:
//load movie from directory...
myLoader.attachMovie(t.movie);

whereby t.movie is the attribute movie in the xml file, (which I gave the linkage ID of "funky" instead of "funky.swf"). no luck though...

thanks in advance

FCS3 - XML Content & Direct Access
Hi People,
I have a question regarding direct access to XML Data nodes. Please bear in mind I am building this application for an Online Advertisement so loading times are essential.

The first question to ask is: How much XML Data is acceptable to be loaded on the first frame? There will be about 100 different products, each with 6 attributes (Name, ImgPath, etc). Is this going to be too much? If yes, please read on...

I am building an application which will contain around 100 different products, I generally build XML applications by bringing all the data in at the beginning, putting it into Arrays and displaying it when necessary. This has served me well in the past and I would like to stick somewhat close to this for sanity's sake. I am hoping to reduce the amount of data brought in on the first frame to reduce loading time and make it easier for myself to debug, is it possible for me to access specific child nodes by a name that will be retreived from the users selection. I am hoping this will reduce loading times and make it easier for me arrange everything, as I will only have to data I need and can update it when necessary.

Any assistance greatly appreciated,
thanks in advance.

[FCS3]Checking External SWF In Levels
Hello all.
I'm new to working with levels, and I'm trying to test which .swf is currently loaded into a certain level. Is there a way to do this?

What I'm attempting is to load content for a portfolio into the main swf. However, if the "home" content is already loaded and the "home" button is clicked, I don't want it to reload.

By the way, I'm using AS 2.0

Also, is there an easy way to split the scenes in a .fla into separate .fla's?

Thank you for any advice you can give me!

[FCS3] Popup Window Size Issue
Hi,

For some reason, the popup window link in my Flash website opens up a popup which doesn't behave to the window size rules I set.

The website is www.caveataudiens.net , click on the 'music' button, and then on the Jukebox button to see as example.

The Jukebox button has the following actionscript:

on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.caveataudiens.net/music/mp3player.html";
target_winName = "kirupa";
width = 400;
height = 300;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}



and in my main actionscript layer I have:

stopAllSounds();

forum_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://www.flaccidsacks.co.uk/phpBB2/", "_blank");

}

music_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("music");
}

links_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("links");
}

about_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("about");
}

news_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("news");

}

Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName, w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable) {
getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin || myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName + "','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar + ",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories + ",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" + scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable + ",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 + "))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" + "')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
}

Can some kind soul help me figure out how to adjust the window size?

Many thanks

[FCS3] Menu/Button Repeat Problem
Hi there, my name is Alex Collins, and i'm sure i will be coming to this forum very often in the future. I have been using flash for ages, but I don't know much actionscript. I was making a menu for my friend today, and I came accross a problem. I attched the .fla file and the .swf file, so you can have a look. Basically, when you rollover the menu bar thingy, its meant to come up with the movie clip (in the "over" state of the menu) and play it, but instead, it just plays it halfway, and repeats over and over. I have put in stop actions to try and stop it repeating, but to no avail. It only works fully when you hold the mouse down on it??? Can anyone help me? (please)

I use Flash CS3 and Windows XP.

Thanks
Alex

[FCS3] Firefox Not Displaying Loaded Images
BTW this is Flash CS3 Actionscript 2.0 though.
I have created a website, http://www.stephenkiers.com/, for a client and am now testing it live on the server after testing it on my local machines fine. The problem is that for some reason the images (contained in a xml document) won't display in firefox or safari. The flash document seems to load the image, it just won't display it. The more confusing part is it works fine in IE 7 on PC.
the code to load the images is below.
Sorry if it messy, most of it was written by me, and some is modified from anothers work....

[FCS3] Load Movie Positioning Question
I am trying to play 2 flash movies on the screen at the same time. When the main movie begins to play it will trigger the second external movie to play on the page BUT this second movie is outside of the dimensions of the main flash movie on the page. Then when the 2nd movie is done playing it unloads itself.

Is this possible to do in flash? If so, can someone point me to a tutorial or shed some light on how this is accomplished.

I am wanting to accomplish this using some type of action script I am guessing. I can get the second movie to play but it just puts it within the main movie.

Please Help.
