.fla Looks Good, Clips Run Good, .swf Looks Squished And Bad
Hi,
I've got 3 bitmaps which I saved at highest res and imported into Flash. I made them into animated buttons. It all works fine with the background big enough, the movies playing nicely, etc. Viewing it in Flash (.fla) looks great but as soon as I preview it or export it into the swf format, it looks squished or parts look like they're covered up or something. I'm even exporting it without compression at 100%.
What could be causing it to look all awful when I export it or preview it?
Thanks!

$10 To First Good Answer (contolling A Movie Clip)
First person to tell me how to do this get $10 via paypal or such!
On frame one of my movie Ive a stop action, a button "X", and a MC that has a seamless animated loop. Lets say its the alphabet. abc... This should continue to scroll until button "X" is pressed, at which time it will continue scrolling until it reaches a certain letter (G for arguments sake) and stop at that point. After it stops on G it should advance to the next frame in the main timeline and start playing.
Movie Clip Control: Good Tutorial?
Hi there,
I'm a relative newbie to flash and I'm looking for a nice tutorial on how to load and move movieclips using actionscript.
What I want (a button) to do is:
- Load a movieclip (that's not on the stage at this moment, only in the library) on to the stage on a specific _x and _y position
- Make it move (animate, not just reposition) over the x-axis to a certain position and stop there
After clicking another button I want flash to:
- Pick up the movieclips position
- Make it move (again animate) from here to another position defined by the button (so I can use different buttons who will move it to different positions after clicking them)
I've been pretty overwhelmed by the amount of tutorials but I haven't found one that describes this clear enough. Maybe you guys have a nice tutorial in you favorites for this? That would be great.
Audio Clip Loading On Buttons For No Good Reason? (bug?)
Hey everyone, I think this is more of a general question than a detailed audio question, so I posted here.
Here's the deal:
1) I imported a very small .wav file.
2) On single movie clip, I added this .wav file on a seperate layer
I am only using the .wav file on this movie clip, NOWHERE ELSE!
This particular movie clip resides on the first scene on my movie, nowhere else. The sound clip is not set to loop, and the entire movie clip only plays through once (simple STOP ActionScript tage at the end)
When I get to the final scene of my movie, its a page with several buttons on them. These buttons were made before the movie clip with the.wav file in it, and these buttons have no relationship whatsoever with this .wav file.
[here's the weird part] However, when I test the buttons (which still work great except for this little problem)... suddenly the .wav file plays (and it plays much louder than it does on the movie clip where it belongs!) whenever I hover over them.
I have no clue why this .wav file is suddenly playing. Its blowing my mind.
Here's the only insight I can add that may hint at the problem: There is one button on the page that does not cause the .wav file to execute. Ulike all the other buttons that do cause the .wav file to play, this one doe snot have any "on{rollover}" or "off{rollover}" commands (all the rollover effects just gotoandplay a different frame on the current scene, nothing elaborate).
What am I missing here? any ideas?
Good Method For Making Movie Clip Follow A Curve?
Hey all!
I'm working on a game where you have a car that will drive along a side-scrolling terrain, and it needs to folllow the hills up and down and rotate accordingly.
Because the front wheel and back wheel will need to be at different heights as the car moves, I'm wondering what the best way to make it rotate correctly is?
The height detection works, and the car will follow the hills but that's just using one point on the car movie clip to test with - it needs to use the front and back of the car.
Does anyone have any good ideas about this?
Cheers

Need Someone Good In Flash To Assign Links To A Movie Clip Menu
Hi
I downloaded a flash template but got stuck on assigning the links to the movie clip'navigation menu.
I tried to edit the .swf file in flash 8,but the menu does not show together with the header clip.The difficulty is that it is a movie clip and not a button so it does not allow getURL().
I followed this tutorial but it only applies on buttons and property panel shows each button as a movie clip
http://info.template-help.com/files/...sign_links.swf
If anyone feels can do it please let me know
thanks

Testing Movie Good, But Publishing Movie Not So Good
When I test my movie, the load and unload movie actions work great, but when I publish the movie the inner-movies don't pull up . . .I click the button to call the other movie and get nada. But when I click the same button in the "test" movie it works fine?
what's up with that?

Am I Good Or What
Hello; there is an awesome website called http://www.eye4u.com [url]
I wanted my site to work like this one, so that each page is a flash, and they fill the screen at any resolution and when the page is resized. I couldn't figure it out, so instead of putting the flash files into html files, I just linked to them (i.e. get url - test.swf)
and it works perfectly. I have never noticed an address that ended with .swf before. Is there anything wrong with doing this? It works like a charm.
If U Know This ... Ur Good

In other words...when you move the mouse up or down in the entire swf, it still affects the scroller. what do i need to do that when the pointer leaves the mc.....the mc stops moving!!
Thanks again.

Really Good 3D Pen
Does any know how the pen animation on this site works, I would love to know how it makes the pen move to the different states as the user moves the pen.http://www.imaginationatwork.com/Imagine?_nolivecacheimaginationatwork
Is Anybody Good Enough For This?
Ok, I posted a question about amovie a few days ago and I only got one answer that actually couldn't help. So I'm wondering if there's anybody else who can figure what am I doing wrong or if it is just that Flash can´t do what I want.
In the file attached there is a movieclip called "Auto Menu", and inside this clip there is another clip that has several buttons inside. Ok this is the problem, this clip with the buttons inside is behind a scrolling pane, and everytime that the user rollsover a button it is supposed to play a short clip, the problmes is that when I put the clip behind de scrolling pane it no longer plays the clip.
You can totally see it because there are two buttons outside the scrolling pane and they work just fine, but the ones inside the scrolling pane don't.
Just open the library and DROP the "Auto Menu" movie clip to the stage and test the movie so that you can see what I'm talking about.
So, hope that somebody can help me with this.

Got A Good One...
Hi Everyone,
I have a good question for ya, I have a movie clip that I want to add a play and stop button to, I know how to do this, but it wont work for some reason.
Also, I have my sound file seperate in the .fla so even when I do get the stop and play buttons to work it does not work with the sound. ARG!!
Ok also.....if anyone can figure out how to get my sound to start when the movie starts playing, that would be kewl. My fiend made this movie, and it takes like 30 seconds just to start,(due to the way he made it, not the size) I wish I knew how to get it start up right away. I tried working with the MC, time line deleting frames, that didnt work, darn rookies!!!
Any takers??
Heres the .fla Click here
THANKS.

Is This Good OOP?
I'm trying to get a job as a AS3 developer and most companies like to put knowledge of OOP up in the requirements.
Does this look like a good example to show that? I'm no expert at OOP as I've only read like half a book about it but I think I kind of get the basics.
TextBox is an abstract class that I use as a base whenever I want to make a rectangle with text inside it.
Damage shows a small image with a small amount of numbers on it and ToolTip shows alot of info in a bigger box.
TextBox.as
PHP Code:
package {
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.geom.Point;
public class TextBox {
//public properties needed at the moment for rendering: x, y and final bitmapdata
public var x:int;
public var y:int;
public var bData:BitmapData;
private var tData:BitmapData;
private var backbit:BitmapData;
private var textField:TextField = new TextField();
public function TextBox() {
}
public function makeText(text:String, x_:int, y_:int, background:Texture, xOff:int, yOff:int):void {
x = x_;
y = y_;
backbit = background.bitmap;
bData = new BitmapData(backbit.width, backbit.height, true, 0);
tData = new BitmapData(backbit.width, backbit.height, true, 0);
bData.copyPixels(backbit, backbit.rect, new Point(0, 0));
textField.cacheAsBitmap = true;
textField.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
textField.selectable = false;
textField.text = text;
textField.width = backbit.width
tData.draw(textField);
bData.copyPixels(tData, tData.rect, new Point(xOff, yOff), null, null, true);
}
}
}
Damage.as
PHP Code:
package {
public class Damage extends TextBox{
private var crit:Boolean;
private var amountStr:String;
public var life:int;
public function Damage(Amount:int, X:int, Y:int, Crit:Boolean, tm:TextureManager) {
amountStr = "" + Amount;
x = X + (Math.random() * 10) - 5;
y = Y + (Math.random() * 10) - 5;
crit = Crit;
life = 30;
var background:Texture = tm.textures["splatter"];
makeText(amountStr, x, y, background, 7, 7);
}
}
}
ToolTip.as
PHP Code:
package {
public class ToolTip extends TextBox{
public function ToolTip(text_:String, X:int, Y:int, backg:Texture) {
makeText(text_, X, Y, backg, 3, 0);
}
}
}
Then I just call them like this
var dmgamage = new Damage(realDamage, testEnemy.drX, testEnemy.drY, false, tm);
var toolTip:ToolTip = new ToolTip(inventory.getITEM(), mouseX, mouseY, texture);
This Is Not Good

myWindow = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, true, {

OOP What’s It Good For?
Hi!
I’ve been working with flash/actionscript since the version 5 and (only) now I’m trying to learn OOP in Actionscript.
It’s being a really hard task to accomplish, so I ask you –“OOP what’s it good for?”
Here's A Good One
I have created a movie menu in flash. I have linked all the buttons to their respective pages. I changed capitalization on one page and went to rename in in the fla and it will not link. the fla has the correct file name but in the test mode it still tries to pull the old file. Any ideas?
How Good Is This.....
Just thought I'd say.....how feckin good is this!!!
Anyone shed any light on how to begin with this, any tutorials etc that are close?
Its the whole 3D thing that gets me and also the reflection!!
Beautiful!!
I love flash and one day I will be able to use it!!!! lol.
