Flash :: Trouble Adding .mp3 To Project

Trouble On A New Project
hi im working on a pixel house project .
And im just wondering if there is possible to have both moving .swf and mouse overs because there seems to be a collision.

Here´s my code

//the caption itself

ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.x==1) {
this._alpha = 100;
} else {
this._alpha = 0;
}
}{

//the button it rollovers

ActionScript Code:
on (rollOver) {
_root.x = 1;
_root.caption.words = "Quote 1";
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.x = 0;
_root.caption.words = " ";
}

on (release) {
loadMovie("quote1.swf", ****);
}

// IN the qoute1.swf (which should be dragable)

ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
startDrag("", false, -300, -300, 300, 300);
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
}

I cant seem to get by this problem . Thankful for help

I´m Having Alot Of Trouble With My Project
Hi there.

It´s my first post in here after a few hours spent with no success in my project.

I´m having trouble assigning buttons to go to the next scene and rollovers.

So i will start with the first doubt:

First of all i have a bitmap image filling the entire screen (800 x 600) which will be used for my first scene. The i have a button in the scene that i want it to make it clickable so that the user goes to the next scene.

What i don´t understand is that i should convert the bitmap to a movie clip and the button to a button?

As far as the rollover goes, i´ve sucessefully made it well but again i don´t know how to send it to the next frame. I think i´ve done it right...press two times to edit the button and change the Up, Down, Over and Hit frames with new buttons but then i can´t make it go to the next frame.

There´s also other things that i´m not making it well which is sound so i will list all my questions in below in order to make it more understandable:

1 - How do i go to the next scene/frame using a rollover button?

2 - How do i make a button with sound where the user presses to play/stop the sound?

3 - This is related to question #2...when the user presses that button to listen the sound how do i trigger another button to show up in the scene?

That´s all for now, i need a rest for today because things aren´t going my way. Please help me with this.

Cheers

[CS3] Trouble With Voting Project.
I'm working on this project where I give the user 12 options and they can choose 6 to vote on and then submit their choices. I had a little help and this is the code I have now:

Code:
var resultArray:Array = [];
var totalPressed:Number = 0;

for (i=0;i<12;i++) {
this.attachMovie("box","box"+i,this.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:30,_y:10+(30*i)})
this["box"+i].id = i;
this["box"+i].onRelease = function() {
judgeAmount(this,this.id);
};
resultArray.push(-1);
};

function judgeAmount(box:MovieClip,idNo:Number):Void {
if (box._currentframe == 2) {
totalPressed--;
resultArray[idNo] = -1;
box.gotoAndStop(1);
}
else {
if (totalPressed < 6) {
box.gotoAndStop(2);
resultArray[idNo] = 1;
totalPressed++;
}
};
if (totalPressed == 6) submit._alpha = 100;
else submit._alpha = 0
};
Now this works great, but the problem is that it's generating the boxes from the library and I want the code to point to boxes already on the stage. I know the problem has to with the "for" statement, but I'm not sure how to change it. If anyone has any help they could give I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

[CS3] Adding Keyframes At The Beginning Of My Project
Hi

I have created an interactive maths activity for children using Flash CS3 with AS3. As it stands currently, everything takes place on one keyframe and different events cause different things to become visible or invisible. Now I want to add a brief explanatory animation to play at the beginning before the child takes their go. I tried to go about this by moving the keyframe of every layer along to slot 250 and then adding in an animation in the earlier slots. However, I didn't get very far with this before I realised that now when I run the program, it is blank for 250 keyframes (where I haven't added the animation yet) and then the original view is displayed, but only for a very short period of time before it disappears again. Any ideas why this is happening? Is there a better way for me to go about this?

Having Trouble Adding A SWF File To Vb.net
Ok so I found this on a help site somewhere but I can't seem to locate the Shockwave control in VB.net. I am currently using the trial version of Flash 8 and vb.net from 2002. Are my versions incompatible?

VB.Net

Select â€œShockwave Flash Objectâ€. Click OK
Draw it on the form
Name it â€œSF1â€

Adding Load Bar Trouble
hey guys, i think i posted this once before but i still havnt gotten a solution.
basically what i want to achieve is a site like the "Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files" tutorial but where it says "loading" i want to replace with a loading bar. now i thought this would be pretty simple and straight forward but as hard as i try to make it work, it wont

this is my best guess so far in the 'content' actionscript

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.transition.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
_root.transition.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
loaded = true;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("opening");
}
}
}

i thought that should work but it doesnt? can anyone help me out? ill really appreciate some help.

cheers, evan

Still Having Trouble Adding Link To Swf File
Hey There,

I'm still having difficulty adding a hyperlink to an swf file... i tried adding the 'get url' action into the graphic itself, even changed it into a movie behavior- but for some reason when i go to 'basic actions', and scroll down to the 'on mouse event' or 'on clip event', they aren't highlighted- so i can't choose them.

so- essentially. i want the animation to loop, but i only want the url link to open if someone clicks on the animation. the animations i want to become hyperlinks are at the bottom of this page: http://www.lynnguppy.com/johnnyfish.htm

? any more help ? i know i'm probably missing something simple. but i guess that's why i'm a newbie.

thanks for your kind indulgence, lynn

Having Trouble With Dynamic Text Adding, Etc
Hello, Ive gotten lots of help here for my dynamic text and this is the last thing to complete my site.

What I have is a main scene with 2 movie clips
one movie clip you make a selection
the other movie clip shows the total cost, adding or subtracting the amount of your choice.

Its confusing so ill show you what code I have
On first frame of the main scene

Code:
_root.baseprice=700;
_root.surfaceprice=0;
_root.cupprice=0;
_root.legprice=0;
_root.addonprice=0;
_root.total_price=_root.baseprice + _root.surfaceprice + _root.cupprice + _root.legprice + _root.addonprice;

In the movie clip where I want to display the total (named "right"), i have a dynamic text field var: named "total_price" and this code in the first frame of the clip

Code:
_root.right.total_price=_root.total_price;

Now this displays the "700" like it should. But I want it to change as i make my selections in the other movie clip.
So I have this code for 3 buttons, one button makes the value 0, one 100, and one 200.

Code:
//first button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =0;

//different button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =100;

//last button
on (press) {

_root.surfaceprice =200;

So, in theory, shouldnt pressing these buttons change the value of the "_root.surfaceprice" in the main scene, then in turn chang the value of the "total_price" in the other movie clip?

Thank you for the help.

FMS 2 - Trouble Adding Application (CentOS)
Hi,

Very recently I managed to install on a CentOS 4.4 platform. I checked what services were running:

./fmsmgr list

21937 pts/0 00:00:00 fmsmaster

I tried to develop my first test application found in 'Learning Flash Media Server 2' book. After creating the subfolder under applications folder, I them tried to add the application inside the Admin Console. The application was added momentarily and then disappeared. I went to check the messages log and by stopping and starting the fms server I was able to isolate the weird Failed messages below:

Trouble Adding Commas To String
I'm using code I found on this site to add commas to a large number (so that a number like 1000000 appears as 1,000,000). Below is the actionscript I'm using.

When I define the variable debt as any number, the script works perfectly. But if I define debt as a variable passed to the movie from a PHP file, then the script puts the commas in the wrong places (i.e., 10,000,00). Can anyone explain to me why this would happen, and how to fix it?

var input = debt;
var inputString = input.toString();
var finalString = "$";
var count = 0;
var tempString = "";
for (var i = inputString.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
count++;
tempString += inputString.charAt(i);
if ((count%3 == 0) && (i - 1 >= 0)) {
tempString += ",";
}
}
for (var k = tempString.length; k>=0; k--) {
finalString += tempString.charAt(k);
}
return(finalString);

Trouble Adding Numbers In Array
As an excercise, I'm trying to create a class that will take the average value of numbers in an array.
I'm stuck on adding the values of the array elements. I keep getting "NaN" for the total. Below is my code.

ActionScript Code:
private function getTotal ():Number
{
var total:Number;
for (var i = 0; i<numArray.length; i++)
{
total += Number(numArray[i]);
}
trace("total= "+total);
return (total);
}

Trouble With Adding Buttons That Link To Other Scenes...? (PLEASE HELP)
Greetings...

I have put in the following code, to link to various scenes in my movie...
================================================
For example:

on (press, release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 6", 1);
}
================================================

Now, I place these actionscripts on the images that I converted to Flash Buttons and the following error comes up...

================================================
Example:

Scene=Scene 2, Layer=Presentations, Frame=485: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (press, release) {
================================================

When I play my movie, the "Buttons" that I created do act like real buttons (my mouse changes on MouseOver) but when I click them, nothing happens...

Why would this happen? I have other buttons in my movie, on other pages that link just fine and I used the same code... Why isn't it working now?

Thanks!!!

Trouble Adding Duplicated Movieclips To Array
whats up everybody,

once again its almost time to choke the young'ns. I'm on my last nerve and someone or something is gonna catch the wrath.

i have a question or problem that seems easy enough to handle. i've been trying to store my duplicated movie clips inside an array so i can access the x and y positions later. i have duplicate about 20 movie clips and need to have their names stored in an array while they're being duplicated. here's what my code looks like so far:

var intervalID;
intervalID = setInterval(checkLoadStatus, 100);

function checkLoadStatus() {
if(Title.loaded){
clearInterval(intervalID);

//split artist string into array
aArtists = Title.artists.split(",");
aPhotos = Title.photos.split(",");

// initialize stars with Title data
star_amount = aArtists.length;
trace("XXstar_amount = " + star_amount);

//declare arrays
a_Stars = new Array(star_amount);
a_centerCheck = new Array(star_amount);

for (i=0; i<star_amount; i++){

a_Stars[i] = duplicateMovieClip("star", "star" + i, 1+i );

//set length of array
a_Stars[i] = this["star" + i];

//set boolean values to check for position
a_centerCheck[i] = false;

}
star._visible = false;
trace("AAthe elements in a_Stars: " + a_Stars[1]._name);
trace("ZZthe elements in a_centerCheck: " + a_centerCheck[5]);
}
}

the problem is that flash is not storing the elements of the array. on my trace command a_Stars array keeps coming up empty while a_centerCheck displays its elements all fine. stars(the duplicated movie clip) is a child so the target is i believe to be ok. (but is probably wrong also - i just don't know).
any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Having Trouble Adding Action Script To Button Symbol
Hello everyone:
I am hoping someone will read this as I am a developer in 'dires straits' with Flash ( a newbie). My problem regards a layer called "button" which has already been converted to symbol and turned into an invisible button. The problem lies when I try to use the selection tool to select it so that I can add action script to it. Instead of the actions dialogue box saying "actions-button", it says "actions-frame", and as a result, the action script doesn't work. I don't know what to do, it should be simple to select it but something is wrong. If you feel a need to help a developer in need, you can email me at support@tahutiwebsites.com, and I can e-mail you the file so that you can help. Thanks, or you can call me at 310-867-5167

Trouble Adding Dynamically Named Elements To An Array Immediate Help Is Needed
OK, here we go... if someone can help me figure this out, I will have successfully completed my site in time for the deadline today at noon...

-- I have an array located at "_parent.emptyWindows"
-- "_parent[this._name]" gives me the name of the current MC and the value I want to add to array "emptyWindows"
-- I'm trying to add an element in this manner:

Code:
_parent.emptyWindows[_parent[this._name]] = _parent[this._name];
That is not working, but not even this is working for me:

Code:
_parent.emptyWindows["bird"] = "bird";
Here I've given an explicit value and name for the element to be added to the array, but obviously something is wrong in my context and I just am NOT finding it.

Any guesses???
Much appreciation,

Need Guidance On The "Adding Thumbnails" Project
I've made the background, viewing area larger, but not the scroller. Now the scroller is acting funny.
1) It doesn't load the images into the scroller completely. It loads like 1.5 thumbnails starting from the right, and does not fill the "thumbnail" area.
2) Hit scrolls right just fine but scrolling left, I have to move the mouse almost all the way to the edge of the left border.

What's going on?!

How Do I Insert A Button Into A Flash Project That Will Open A Powerpoint Project

Copy Pasting A Project Into A Keyframe Of Another Project
This is what I want to do,

Here's the project that I'd like to incorporate into my own site,

And this is the timeline for my site, I want the above to work in the Chronicle keyframe,

I don't know if it's possible to copy paste the project into that keyframe, or how can I do this? I downloaded a free flash book that opens up and shows a certain text, and I want to incorporate it into a page on my site, that's it in a nutshell.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Trouble Adding Animation To Existing Rollover Animation
Hey all,

I'm using Flash 8. I have a picture of a building which is segmented into floors. Upon rolling over a grouping of floors the user sees either a blue overlay, indicating they can click, or a gray overlay simply describing what the floor is. I already have some actionscript in place and I don't need to alter it, I just added more animation to an existing movieclip rollover, but it's not quite working. On one of the floors that rolls-over gray, I want an additional rollover with some text. So I made a movie clip of the rollover animating out and the type coming in and I just added it to the gray fade in movie clip since there was already onRollover actionscript in place there. However, the rollover kept playing over and over again. So, of course I added a Stop action. Then, the animation didn't work anymore, it just rolled over to the final state of that animation. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do, or what I can do as an alternative? I'll post the actionscript in case that helps. Like I said, the rollover "rolls-over" but either loops (without a Stop action), or rolls over to the final frame in the animation (with a Stop action).

Thanks!

Project Insight (The Ban Map Project)
I really like the style of the map on "The Ban Mapping Project".
http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/atlas/index.html
http://www.thebanmappingproject.com/atlas/base.swf
I like the way that when you click on something, regardless of the coordinates that you are currently at, it re-focuses on the new coordinates, whether it has to zoom in, or just slide. I REALLY need to learn how to reproduce that effect, just that effect... for a project that I need to do. Does anybody have any idea of where I can find tutorials that explain similar effects? Or... Could anybody explain that effect himself/herself?

My deepest gratitude,

LoadMovie Trouble Trouble Troubles
hello,

i'm having a little bit of trouble here trying to load multiple movies into the same container. not all at one time. like this:

when a button is clicked this happens in my preloader clip which is located in my _root movie:

********************************
// set vars
sectionMovie = _root.currentSection + ".swf";

// un/load movie
unloadMovie("_root.SectionContent");
loadMovie(sectionMovie, "_root.SectionContent");
********************************

then the next frame of the preloader says:

********************************
// get the percent of the movie loaded
bytesLoaded = _root.sectionContent.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.sectionContent.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = int((bytesLoaded / bytesTotal)*100);

// if it's loaded then continue
if (percentLoaded == 100) {
this.gotoAndStop (1);
}
********************************

it all seems like it should work. i click "button1" which loads "movie1.swf" perfectly. then i click "button2" and it will unload the movie fine, but it just stops when it gets to "loadMovie"... anyone know what is happening?

thakns in advance for the help, it's a school project...mwaahaha!

"Oooooh Trouble Trouble..." (Foghat Reference +1000 Points)
I am attempting to add X movie clips to the stage via script, with follow AI behaviors added to each of them. But for now I am just having them immediately start moving left until they hit the stage edge OR eachother...which is the problem.

I cannot get them ALL to stop when they collide with somehting else on the stage...

the way I atempted to solve this problem was to start an array... a list... and to add to that list the name of every object I add to the stage when I add it to the stage. So before ANYTHING moves it loops through this array to see if it is hitting anything else on the stage. Sounds simple right?

Well it seems to only work for the LAST movie attached in my function.

I have attached the script to this post. Please take a look, provide some help, give me some alternative ideas, tell me a good joke :-P, just gimme some feedback. Thanks in advance to anyone who even tries to help.

I Am Adding A Child To The Stage, Adding An Event Listener To The Child. I Then Want
I'm trying to do something that seems like it should be really simple to do.

I am adding a child to the stage, adding an event listener to the child. I then want to remove the child from within the event listener.

ActionScript Code:
var newClip:NewClip = new NewClip();

addChild(newClip);

newClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, newClipListener);

public function newClipListener(event:Event) {
trace("test");
}

I've tried quite a few things and nothing seems to work. The only method I know that works looks like this, but it's stupid and cumbersome and i'm sure there is a better way

ActionScript Code:
var newClip:NewClip = new NewClip();

addChild(newClip);

newClipArray.push(newClip);

newClip.myID = newClipArray.length-1;

newClip.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, newClipListener);

public function newClipListener(event:Event) {

removeChild(newClipArray[event.target.myID]);

}

Adding Links On "Adding Thumbnails" Tutorial
I've stumbled across a very interesting tutorial, which helped me a lot.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/thumbnails.htm
But, I've noticed a little detail. When you click on the big image of the finished example on the first page of tutorial, it acts like a link. When I have downloaded finished .fla source, links are nicely written in the images.xml file, but the links in the .fla file don't work.
Please, tell me which AS code I have to add to my .fla file in order to activate links (and make them work properly).
Thanks.

Trouble Explaining The Trouble
i am having a hard time explaining this problem so i have attached my fla file with some notes attached to it.
i'm trying to customise the a.s. but alas i'm not very good at it yet.

i have an element on the page that when it is clicked on it zooms big and comes to the center of the stage. when you click on it again it zooms back to its original position. - i have this part working.

the problem is i want elements within the zoomed elements to behave the same way. essentially zooming further into the stage. i just can't get it to work.

at this point i am completely lost, any help on this is much appreciated.
thanks everyone

I was wondering if there is any chance I could find a whole cd-rom template on the web..I actually found one in the movies section of FK...but couldn't get the password from the developper (site is offline)
I'm planning to work at a presentation cd-rom..just the "classic" stuff...interactive interface (nothing different from a website actually..if not the weight..), no software to deal with, lots of pics and music...maybe a few videos..
I wouldn't like to start from scratch...'cause I'm sure I'd find myself struggling an chokin' in problems I'm not ready to consider..and solve mostly...
thanks for your help...

Help Me In My Project
Hi, I m trying to make projector for a software collection CD.
and my problems are:
1)how can i refer a link to a folder, and az clicked the folder
opens.
2)how can i run a setup file(*.exe) so that it continues to installs
the program. I tried to use the "getUrl" action but when you click
the link which refers to the exe file, a window opens and
tells: "you are downloading the file: *.exe, would you like to open
the file or save it?"
Thanks in advice

Big Project
really big project. I'm making an anaglyph page, and I want to have a flash mx generator. Of course one that would make anaglyphs. But I would need lots of help. Can anyone help me with my long journey?

Next Project
So I just completed one flash project. I've found that I learn only when i'm actively working on something. I know animation and basic actionscript. What are your suggestions on my next project?

Uni Project
ok iv got a 4 page flash site to do for mon, im learning as i go here! im having real problems with buttons. i want an onclick animation, as the site is marked on useability and that is a good feature. actionscript is not the easiest thing to dive straight into, how can i have several pages within a site? do i insert new scenes, or place a new page further up the timeline with commands for the buttons to go to certain frames? also, how can i have a small sound clip to play when a button is clicked or rolled over?
any help would be VERY appreciated
