I Need Mega Help
Hello all,

Could anyone give me a detailed step-by-step process of making a vertical drop down (or pop out) menu with Flash MX?

Or could you give me a link to a tutorial for this?

I'd be in your debt. Thanks.

Mega Movie
I've created a Flash movie that is about 8MB. I'm having trouble accessing it on my web site because it's so large. I have another one that's about 6-7 that does pretty good, although it's slow.

Sound is pretty much synchronized to the whole thing... which I know adds HUGE MB... is there a way to break the movie in pieces and have it show all on one page? Or is there another way to reduce the number of MB it took to build the thing?

Is there someone who could look at it and maybe offer some assistance with it?

THANKS!
Yochanna

Well I Am A Mega Newbie And I Was Wondering....
I started on a new movie and created a MC with someone running, and I tweened him to move from one side to another. The MC included the animation of the man running, how could I make it so it could show the guy running while it moves with motion tweening? Thank you for reading it and helping (maybe?)...

Mega Stuck On Preloaders
im really stuck on preloaders i have been told how to do them 2 times and its comes out like a load of rubbish not the actionscript if thats what your wondering but it doesnt make sense, people just sent me advice with missing things put in...for example

if you were making a button they would say..drwa something then make it a button put in actionscript and then make frames on the timeline,that is how it pretty much comes out.

sorry to be a fuss but i would realy appreitiate it if you still helped me.

but thanks anyway to those who did help,i dont meen u r stupid or anything i just couldnt fully understand

MP3 Player - Need Some Mega Urgent Help...
I have this cool mp3 player that I actually got from http://theflashblog.com/?p=228 (check it out, really awesome!)

now I'll try to explain as best as I can, my problem is this:

The track listing is outputted from a textfield in the .fla called "playList".

Instead of the text field "playList", I need to somehow create individual text fields for each track title rather than it all being in the one (reasons purely down to asthetical purposes), but now my programing is letting me down here in trying to figure out how exactly I will do this.

Take a look at the code I have so far anyway, I have managed to split the text field but the result is that only the last one displays the track title, I know this must need another for loop or something but I just can't figure it out.


Code:
// setup sound object
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
// Array of tracks
var ta:Array = new Array();
// currently playing track
var cps:Number = -1;
// position of music
var pos:Number;
// Load menu items
// Load the tracks XML
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function() {
var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
var item:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var titleHeight = 22;
for (var i = 0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
ta.push(new Song(nodes[i].attributes.url, nodes[i].attributes.title));
item = container.holder_mc.attachMovie("mTitle_mc", "mTitle"+i+"_mc", container.holder_mc.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:150, _y:350+(titleHeight*i)});
var playListTitle = container.holder_mc["mTitle"+i+"_mc"];
buttons(playListTitle, i);
playListTitle.playList.text = nodes[i].attributes.title;
}

playSong();
};
xml.load("tracks.xml");
// Play the MP3 file
function playSong():Void {
s = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
mute.gotoAndStop("on");
if (cps == ta.length-1) {
cps = 0;
s.loadSound(ta[cps].earl, true);
} else {
s.loadSound(ta[++cps].earl, true);
}
trackInfo.text = ta[cps].myTrack;
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
}
// Pause the music
function pauseIt():Void {
pos = s.position;
s.stop();
}
// unPause the music
function unPauseIt():Void {
s.start(pos/1000);
}
// Music controls
// create playlist buttons
function buttons(clip, i) {
clip.onRollOver = function() {
this.useHandCursor = false;
};
clip.onRelease = onReleaseOutside=function () {
s.loadSound(ta[i].earl, true);
trackInfo.text = ta[i].myTrack;
s.onSoundComplete;
cps = i;
// reset play/pause button
if (playPause._currentframe == 20) {
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
}
// reset mute button
if (mute._currentframe == 20) {
mute.gotoAndStop("on");
}
};
// playlist roll over states
clip.onRollOver = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0xeb0605;
this.playList.setTextFormat(format);
};
clip.onRollOut = function() {
format = new TextFormat();
format.color = 0xFFFFFF;
this.playList.setTextFormat(format);
};
}
// play pause toggle
playPause.onRollOver = function() {
if (this._currentframe == 1) {
this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
} else {
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
}
};
playPause.onRollOut = playPause.onReleaseOutside=function () {
if (this._currentframe == 10) {
this.gotoAndStop("pause");
} else {
this.gotoAndStop("play");
}
};
playPause.onRelease = function() {
if (this._currentframe == 10) {
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
this._parent.pauseIt();
} else {

Loading Up HTMLs With CSS (WARNING: New Guy, Mega Newb)
Hello I recently just found these forums and wow this place is a great resource. Let me introduce myself. I am sah302, I have very recently just started working in Flash, the reason being I have an internship for making a website for my college. The internship is a joint effort with my friend and roomate, we have a good synergy where I co-plan out the layout design, design the graphics and he codes it. However, obviously there is a bit more coding time than graphic design so I was going to take up one of the requirements which was to have a flash version of the site.

I purchased the Saavy book on Flash MX and am using Flash MX 2004 Profressional and have been learned a great deal in a short amount of time. However I have reached a doomed wall which I knew I would hit, the coding.
I was never a coder and I always disliked it. However Actionscript starts off extremely easy and simple for me to understand, but I have reached a point to where I am getting stumped. What I need to do isn't in my book so this prompted my online search and stumbling upon these forums. I have read a lot of the information here and gained tons of insight, but I am still lost with coding. Basically when you put in variables and instances names and start using code that has #'s and xxxx.xxxx I just get lost. I have even read the threads and whatnot on using CSS and htmls. I just don't get it....

So here is going out on a limb here and hoping someone out there can rehash what was already posted in even layer laymens terms.

What I need to do is create a content box which loads their respective pages when a button is clicked on the page. The content needs to be drawn from a .html file with css to make it easy to update content once the site is complete. So far all I know is how to create a dynamic textbox which pulls text from an external text file.

I have uploaded the files to:

www.personal.psu.edu/sah302/Flash

Also I am sure because of my newbness I am doing certain things in the most ineffecient way or the way that makes it have a huge load time or some such so any general comments for improvement would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Flash - ColdFusion - MsAccess MEGA HUGE PROBLEM
I have a site using flash, cold-fusion & MSaccess, as you might guess this is a dynamic flash site. The idea is quite simple, flash sends some variables to cold-fusion, cold-fusion will do what instructed according to the variables sent and outputs the results from the database. Flash will read these results and displays them in the page. OK everything is cool till now. The page works fine and perfect, I was a happy person for once After creating a massive site with this concept, and tested it about 20,000 times on my local machine with cold-fusion. I noticed some problems when I uploaded the site on the server. About 1 time out of hundred, when flash checks that the variables are loaded and proceed to the frame where it shows the variables, it somehow freezes, not in the sence that it crashes, but it shows nothing in that frame. Then you would either have to goto another section in the site, like the about page, and come back again in it, and everything is there... I've tried many things but this darn weird devil is still there somewhere !!!!

Here is an example:

ColdFusion File (readdata.cfm)

----------------------------------------------

<CFIF todo IS "events">

<CFQUERY NAME="eventsdata" DATASOURCE="#datasource#">
SELECT * FROM Events ORDER BY ID
</CFQUERY>

<CFSET data="&eof=true&TotalItems=#eventsdata.recordcount #">
<CFLOOP QUERY="eventsdata">
<CFSET data= data&"&Title#currentRow#=#Replace(Title, '&', '%26','all')#&ShortDesc#currentRow#=#Replace(Short Desc, '&', '%26','all')#&LongDesc#currentRow#=#Replace(LongDe sc, '&', '%26','all')#&ThumbName#currentRow#=#ThumbName#&Im ageName#currentRow#=#ImageName#&">
</CFLOOP>
<CFOUTPUT>#data#</CFOUTPUT>

</CFIF>

----------------------------------------------

FLASH PART (Method One)

----------------------------------------------

todo = "events";
eof="false";
loadVariables(_root.SitePath+"database/readdata.cfm", "", "POST");

----------------------------------------------

FLASH PART (Method Two)

eof="false";
loadVariables (_root.SitePath+"database/readdata.cfm?todo=events&nocache="+random(65000)," ");

----------------------------------------------

Then I would have a frame which would check for the variable EOF

----------------------------------------------

if (eof == "true") {
gotoAndStop ("ShowBasic");
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("Read");
};
----------------------------------------------

I've tried both method one and method two, but this weird thing still happens...

Please anyone help me ))

Serious Help Needed?
Hello pplz.

Here is the question,

When the site loads .. a (graphical)window will be displayed in its pre final form,

this window holds 4 text buttons which on their turn
control which text loads into the main timeline.
(this has bin taken care of alredy)

The actual problem is that in stage 1 when a visitor randomly clicks 1 of the 4 text buttons the window needs to be tweened into its final form but when the user clicks (after the window in tweened) one of the 3 remaining buttons the window needs to stay in its final form and only the text associated with its button need to be changed.

Anyone who can help me out ....?????....

thanx n advance ...................

Serious Help Needed.
Hi pplz.

Here is the deal, Last week i posted a question about
keeping a tween from playing when it has played 1 time..

k the tween is an animated backgroud which tweens into a field for text after 1 of the 4 buttons is pressed.
but when a visitor presses another button the tween needs to stay in its final stage..
It needs to be possible to click any button in the first phase where the background is not jet tweened.
so that the user can choose about what topic to read first.

.. someone alredy gave me the folowing code but it seems not to work.

Code.-----------------------------------------------
on (release) {
if (! Tween_ended) {
// tweencode here---
} else {
// dont tween
}
//tell button to play text
}

this code )(completed does not work)

has anyone a suggestion that does work.

Thanx in advance

Help Needed
i am just experimenting with some simple actionscript and cant get this what seems simple script to work, can anyone see ifI could be creating an error somehow?

on (release) {
if (enter="correct") {
gotoAndPlay ("right");
} else {
}
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}

i have a stop action on a different layer of the same frame and same with frame 2 and label"right" but whenever i type in "correct" into the text box (with the right variable) it comes up with frame 2, I thought that maybe someone could help me out, It should be taking the "correct" input as a literal string but when i type it in it comes up as if i typed in the wrong thing. Sorry if I have confused you as I am new to actionscript but a bit of help could mean so much to me. Thanks

Help Needed Plz.
This might be hard to explain...here goes.

I made a flash swf and a publish page of that, main1.swf and main1.html. I upload both files onto my server using CuteFTP and the URL for these files can be found at http://www.leodadominico.com/main1.swf or main1.html. (The files are taken off at the moment) I need help on how to have the same file name when i take that file off from my site and do some addons, say adding more sounds or whatever then i upload it back to my server with the same file name, main1.swf, and main1.html, but iam not seeing the changes that i made after typing in the same URL (leodadominico.com/main1.swf or main1.html). I did push the refresh button on CuteFTP before i upload these files, still iam seeing the old files, not the new ones that i have made some changes to. Help plz, thanks. (not sure if i did explained everything correctly)

OOP Help Needed ..
i'm reading through the chapter on OOP in Colin Moock's 'ActionScript - The Definitive Guide'. Although it's very clearly written and covers the topic in great detail, it seems somewhat short on examples.

i'm working on a simple game where i need to create a bunch of different 'obstacles' [aliens, monsters, whatever] for the player to interact with. each obstacle is a movie clip and will have different properties: colour, speed, points value etc.

now i see that i can do something like ..


code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var monster = new Object();
monster1 = new monster();
monster2 = new monster();
monster3 = new monster();

monster1 = { colour:0xff0000, speed:1, points:10 }
monster2 = { colour:0x00ff00, speed:2, points:20 }
monster3 = { colour:0x0000ff, speed:3, points:40 }

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


.. although that's probably not precisely the right way to go about it .. but the real question is, how do i connect these objects to the movie clips i've made for each monster ? how do i get them to appear in the movie when i need them ?

1000 x thanks

Help Needed
Hi there,
I have two movie files in the library.
Each movie is refering different variable in the main scene whether the variable is true or false.

For example

Scene 1 : has a two variable
demo = "true"
Literature = "true".

Movie 1 : DemoClip

I have a actionscript inside this movie, which will change the scene1 variable from "true" to "false" and vice versa.
Suppose for example i have changed to "false" now.
_root.demo = "false";

Movie 2. LiterClip

Now is the deal.
If i want to get the current value of particular variable in the LiterClip movie from 'Scene1' like
trace(_root.demo);
But it gives as "true" rather than "false".
I know that it takes the global value of a variable from the scene.

But it takes inside the same movie.

Is there any way to solve this problem. If you have solution, please let me know.

'If - Then' Help Needed
I'm building a quiz using the Learning Interactions in Flash 5. I'm creating an End of the Quiz screen whereby the quiz taker will be presented with his or her results.

I need some ActionScript help for this screen whereby, if the quiz taker has answered, say, 20 out of 20 correctly, text can be presented which would say "You're a superstar!"

If 2 of 20 are answered correctly, the screen would lament "Go Back to School pal!"

I've already figured out how to present the total score in a dynamic text box. What I need is a script to assess the score and serve up different text accordingly.

Can you help?

PRO HELP NEEDED
I am having trouble with a menu I am working on in MX that opens a submenu onPress, and closes it onRelease. The submenu is a smaller clip of several buttons (smbut#) that moves out onPress, and I want to be able to have the button that you are OVER fire onRelease. These are also dynamic, so my code (placed on the "mainButtonHouse") looks like this:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton1.smbut1.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(2);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton1.smbut2.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(3);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton1.smbut3.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(4);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton1.smbut4.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(5);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton2.smbut1.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(6);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton2.smbut2.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(7);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton2.smbut3.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(8);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton2.smbut4.onRelease = _root.mainTextMov.gotoAndStop(9);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton3.smbut1.onRelease .getURL("http://www.alliedassault.com", _blank);
_root.mainButtonHouse.mainButton3.smbut2.onRelease .getURL("http://www.mohaa.ea.com", _blank);
}


This will not work. It seems as if it is only paying attention to the onRelease of the Parent button, instructing the movie to close. I DO want this to happen, however, I need the sublayer buttons to work as well. Thanks.

I am new to ActionScript and am having some problems with a project I'm developing for work.

It is a quiz. The user will be tested on various subjects or "categories". The test is set up to ask a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 4 questions per category. When either 2 questions have been answered correctly or 4 questions have been asked in total for that category, the code selects another category at random. The user also has the option to quit the test early by clicking on a "Quit" button, which takes them to a page that displays the total number of questions asked and the total number of questions answered correctly.

The selection of the Categories and the selection of the Questions is totally random.

The final version will have 9 or 10 categories with 4 to 7 questions per category.

The problem is that the code is working as it is supposed to work for category 1. However, it IS NOT working correctly for either of the other 2 categories. If the user selects the "Continue" button for the Category 2 or Category 3 questions, they are taken back to the beginning of the test. The "Quit" buttons don't work at all for either the Category 2 or Category 3 questions.

NOTE: The correct answer is the same as the number of the question; i.e., the correct answer for Category 1 Question 2 to answer 2, the correct answer for Category 3 Question 4 is answer 4, and so on.

I would greatly appreciate anyone checking this out and telling me why it is not working and what I need to do to fix it!

Thanks in advance!!

Help Still Needed...
I'm still a bit stuck on this repeating movie clip to a circular path problem... Senocular has given me some code, that works, but flash seems not to like it... Damn flash!

Basically all I need to do, is make a series of concentric circles (about 20, the circles being made of dots - the dot being the movie clip) that play in... So it looks like they're animating in.

I can do this the dumbo way ie: export the symbols from freehand all in place and animate them in one by one, but the resulting file size is large to say the least.

Does anyone know how this can be done or a good maths/art flash developers site that might give me some pointers?

Cheers big ears

I know its loading up the varible because i made a dynamic text field to see if it was accepting the variable and it was displaying it. Anyone can tell me why the code won't read it? Thanks any help is apreciated.

Help Needed NOW
Hey all. I'm a beginner at using Flash 5, so I need some help!! I run a fantasy wrestling website and I'm trying to make a 'Champions' flash bar. It's kind of hard to explain fully what I'm trying to do.. but I'll try my best and also provide a link to a flash I'm trying to 'mimic'!

First of all, here's the link of the flash that I want to try to duplicate on my own: http://gwfwrestling.net/titlehist.phphttp://gwfwrestling.net/titlehist.php

I am trying to make something similar, so that when you put your mouse over the text on the left, it changes the pic in the middle. I'm pretty sure I know how to change the colour of the text on the left, when you mouseover, but I need to know how to change the pic at the same time. (Follow me?) I would also like to know, when I put my mouse over the picture, how to get text to come up below it.

I hope that makes sense, and I hope somebody could help me soon because I'd really like to get this done. Thank you so much for your help

I'd like to randomize an array of 76 cards. Everything works fine but when the thing gets to 38 it starts to add back cards. Any ideas.


Code:
function ShuffleArray(deck) {
caa = deck.length;
new_deck = deck;
for (x=0; x<=caa; x++) {
ca = deck.length;
trace("ca: "+ca);
i = random(ca);
new_deck[x] = deck[i];
trace("Deck bef pop: "+deck);
for (t=i; t<ca; t++) {
deck[t] = deck[t+1];
}
deck.pop();
trace("Deck aft pop: "+deck);
}
trace("");
return new_deck;
}
I know I posted this earlier, but I thought I fixed but I didn't.
I'm using Flash MX btw.

Some Serious Help Needed
yeah, hi. i was wondering if someone can help me out.
i have a button called contacts and a movie clip that has a graphic symbol inside and that symbol has a dynamic text inside it. now what i want to do is:

on (release) {
link = "contacts";
}

so when i press the link variable gets the string "contacts". ok.
BUT, i want that variable 'link' to be written inside the dynamic field. i already placed variable=link in the dynamic text properties, but for some reason it doesnt show text. why am i trying to do that? experimental and educational porposes and to save file size. see, i have 3 buttons, each button would fill the variable 'link' with different strings, and the only thing that would be changed is the dynamic output. so i dont have to make an animation for each button pressed, just the output of the dynamic field. i will try and make a new document only with this stuff and if it doesnt work, ill attach the fla in the next post. but if you know where i make mistakes, plz do tell me.

thanx.
