[MX04] FPS Help
do all games use the regular FPS commands, because from computer to computer-my programs vary a lot.

so here is my code...

speedx = 3;
Speedy = 3;
speedx2 = 3;
Speedy2 = 2;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {

//Snail follow mouse
snail._y = _ymouse-snail._height/2;
snail._x = _xmouse-snail._width/2;

//Snail has borders
if (snail._x>500-snail._width) {
snail._x = 500-snail._width;
}
if (snail._x<0) {
snail._x = 0;
}
if (snail._y<0) {
snail._y = 0;
}
if (snail._y>500-snail._height) {
snail._y = 500-snail._height;
}

//kite has speed
kite._x += Speedx;
kite._y += Speedy;

kite2._x += Speedx2;
kite2._y += Speedy2;

//kite bounces off walls
if (kite._x>(500-kite._width)) {
Speedx = -Speedx;
grape=2
}
if (kite._x<0) {
Speedx = -Speedx;
}
if (kite._y>(500-kite._height)) {
Speedy = -Speedy;
}
if (kite._y<0) {
Speedy = -Speedy;
}

if (kite2._x>(500-kite2._width)) {
Speedx2 = -Speedx2;
}
if (kite2._x<0) {
Speedx2 = -Speedx2;
}
if (kite2._y>(500-kite2._height)) {
Speedy2 = -Speedy2;
}
if (kite2._y<0) {
Speedy2 = -Speedy2;
}
};

i want to know how i can make that code exactlly 30 FPS or really close to it, if it is even worth it.

[MX04]How Do You Do This..help
Hey guys and girls!

I was given a task at work to come up with a campaign to try to re-create a flip page banner that is posted on the http://www.eetimes.com. If you notcie on the homepage there is this one flip page banner that opens up fully if you hover over it. I did something like this but not quite like it. This one you can hover and the html navigation become unactive because of the expansion of the banner but when you hover away from it, the navigation becomes active again. I checked out the source and I couldnt find thw .swf file. Any suggestions on how to approach this?

How would I use XML to update table data within HTML pages from a navigation file created in Flash? Currently I have audio playing in the background, and the problem that I am having is when using getURL the page that loads also loads the audio portion, so each new page loaded starts the audio over. I'm sure there is an easy way to use XML to simply fetch data and replace the table data using only the index.htm file so that the audio stays put as well. Any ideas?

Hi,

I've been trying to a string into Actionscript to split into an array
via LoadVars. The requested file is written in PHP, and it builds a string
from a PHP array. When I insert trace statements within the
function shown below, the external data seems to be loading fine.

I want to assign the values to an array called 'messagetext' that lives on Frame 1 of the main timeline. However, I cannot seem to reference anything outside of the function itself.

messagetext = new Array();

//Data import*********************************
var hh = new LoadVars();
hh.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
messagetext = this.messages.split("|");

trace(typeof (this.messages)); // 'messages' is the value contained in the PHP file - returns 'string'
trace(messagetext.length); // returns '110'

}
}

hh.load("http://127.0.0.1/test/comments.php");
//******************************************

trace(messagetext[1]); // returns 'undefined'

I'm sure this is pretty obvious (but not to me right now).

Where could I be going wrong ?

Many thanks in advance for any tips.
Neil.

Help!!

I have downloaded this .fla from flash kit..nice and have managed to adapt to suit my purposes for all but little but essential bit.

Its a menu navigation with alot of stuff i have no idea about (hence why i downloaded it and didn't do it myself) What i am after is when you scroll over the relevant subheadings i need these to be able to link to their pages.

The problem here is i can't just create a button over each one as it uses actionscript to define these subcategories. The only solution i thought that might work would be to duplicate the sub headings, call them into the movie asit does already and place an invisible button on each one of them....is there an easier way than this?

I am having a problem with Arrays and variables.

I have 10 items stored in an array, and 10 text fields. I want to populate the text fields from the array.

my array is called aCases, so in the variable field for my first text box I put aCases[0][1] this did not work.

I know I can do this - var myText1 = aCases[0][1], which works fine, but I do not want to write this out 10 times, is there a better way to do this?

Hello!

I have an interesting and very perplexing problem. I have made a few small flash banners and movie clips before and have had no problems placing them into other files. However, I'm working on a personal site for my boyfriend and for some reason, the flash on the index page will not load at all (IE browser is the only browser I have available to test atm)...it looks like IE is still attempting to "download" the file. The file itself is not that big (21kb)...the gallery has a larger groupings of flash files and works better than the flash on the index page. I've tried it locally and it works fine. You can view the website here

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to working with flash and am very confused as to why my simple movie will not work.

Please, can somebody help me make a flash?

I have 3 different jpg pictures 120x120px. The 2 first pictures shows a coin, front and back, the last picture has white background with an information in black text.

I want this to happen: The first picture shown the coin front(picture1.jpg), then you take the mouse over the first picture the picture rotate horizontaly and shown the coin backside (picture2.jpg) and stop there. If you take the mouse pointer away from picture, the picture1.jpg will show again. The next are, if you press the mouse buton down over the same, you will read the text (picture3.jpg). If you release the mouse the picture1.jpg will show again.

Hope that somebody can read it out for me?

I am pretty new to flash, and I am trying to make a stickfigure animation.

I made the stickman, he has a basic head, torso, arms (with joints at the elbows), and legs (with joints at the knees).

Whenever I move his arms or legs so that they are overlapping other arms, legs, or his torso, it makes a joint on the overlap point. It attachs his arm to his torso, for example. And when I try to move that part of the arm, it takes the torso with it, thus completely messing up the figure.

Why does it do this? Do I need to make each individual body part a different layer?

I've got a movie that resizes, but there are two problems:

1. I cannot add a margin between the bottom products (commented actionscript on line 75 seems like it should work, but doesn't).
2. Vertically stretching the movie works, but it screws up when reduced.

If anyone can help, please do.

Hi Okay this is what i'm doing

i have 5 Frames
okay first Frame just sets the Varibles

Code:
1st Frame
// Set the Variable
var Num = 1; //Loop Pictures -- <- This Value Changes Max Set to 30 in Timer.
var thePicNum = 1; //The Picture Number To Start.
var picnum = "MC"+thePicNum; //New picture Fadeing In.
var oldpicnum = "MC"+0; //Old picture Fadeing Out -- <- This Value Changes Value Changes in Timer.
trace("Main Scene start");
//setProperty(MC1, _alpha, "100");
2nd Frame Changes the MC's Alpha by 2 each pass

Code:
2nd Frame
//
// find alpha of new pic
picalpha = getProperty(picnum, _alpha);
//
// find alpha of old pic
oldpicalpha = getProperty(oldpicnum, _alpha);
//trace(picnum+oldpicalpha);
//
// If you want to change fade speed, alter + & - amounts below!
// if the new pic alpha is 0, fade it up to 100
if (picalpha<100) {
trace("Fade IN - "+picnum+" - "+picalpha);
setProperty(picnum, _alpha, picalpha+2);
}
//
// if the old pic alpha is 100, fade it down to 0
if (oldpicalpha>0) {
setProperty(oldpicnum, _alpha, oldpicalpha-3);
trace("Fade OUT - "+picnum+" - "+oldpicalpha);
}
Loops back to frame 2 till alpha 100% then go's to next Picture
After each 100% go to Frame 4 where Timer is and Script to Call Next MC up

Code:
3rd Frame
if (picalpha<100) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
if (picalpha>=100) {
gotoAndPlay(4);
}

Code:
4th Frame has a MC with 4 Frames
//////////////Frame 1
play();
tellTarget ("../") {
stop();
trace("I'm Paused");
}
//////////Frame 2
start = Number(getTimer()/1000);
end = start + pause;

////////////////Frame 3
current = Number(getTimer()/1000);
if (current>=end) {
tellTarget ("../") {
play();
//
if (Num<30) {
Num = Num+1;
oldpicnum = picnum;
thePicNum = thePicNum+1;
picnum = "MC"+thePicNum;
}
//trace("pass1 - "+Num);
//trace("pass2 - "+picnum);
//trace("pass3 - "+oldpicnum);
if (Num>=30) {
Num = 0;
// Set the Variable
var Num = 1;
//Loop Pictures -- <- This Value Changes Max Set to 30 in Timer.
var thePicNum = 1;
//The Picture Number To Start.
var picnum = "MC"+thePicNum;
//New picture Fadeing In.
var oldpicnum = "MC"+0;
//Old picture Fadeing Out -- <- This Value Changes Value Changes in Timer.
}
//
}
} else {
play();
}

///////////Frame 4
gotoAndPlay("checktime");

Code:
5th frame

Hello everyone....I am a total beginner when it comes to flash. In fact, this is my very first project. I replicated the ActionScript and elements from an example I found in a book I have that has two chapters on Flash. I am using Flash MX 2004. Specifically the problem I am having is as follows:

This flash movie is supposed to have a text box with the text "CEO Assistant 1.0" drop down until frame 15. When frame 15 is reached a button appears containing the text "GO". When you mouse over the button, the color of the button changes. When the button is clicked, a second textbox/control is supposed to display "text" hard coded in the action script for my button using the "on press" event.

I have gotten all of this working except for the second text control responding to the button click so it displays the correct text....any ideas or help would be appreciated.....I have attached the .fla so anyone who wants to can take a look...

There they have shown the downloading comparison (the prgress bars are moving like in windows). My question is, is that all done in flash or that bars are something like recorded first and then put in the animation?

i have:
if (_root.key.hitTest(this)) {
_root.coin = _root.gotoAndStop("Level Intros",2);

This should take me back a scene and playing frame 2 of that scene i think!
But its not its not even doing anything when the 2 objects meet and all instances are named correctly! I did get it to react once but it just took me back to the beggining, any help? Thanks!

I've put together a simplified version of what I'm trying to achieve and would appreciate some help. There's a drop down menu which comes over the loaded movie. When you click a button to load another movie I would like the menu to go back up, but only if it's in the drop down state, not if it's already up. I think it's an if/else statement, but I can't get the hang of it. The full site is here which should show why I need to sort this out.

Help.

I'd like to use a button to open a window. I would also like to be able to make the window draggable.

I tried the attachMovie with no effect. The movie in my library would not load into my_mc. So I then tried using the "loadMovie" action and load an external .swf into a mc container. This works.

How can I use a button in the loaded .swf to close it?
How can I make it draggable?

The idea is to open a larger view of an image and then close it.

[MX04] How Would You Do This?
I have got to make a simple site that loads in 5 randomly selected cards which are jpeg images.

What do you think would be the best way to achieve this allowing for different browser settings & resolutions?

1.Make 3 versions of the movie for each res. E.g. 800*600, 1024*768 or 1280*1024?

2.Make 1 version of the movie & set a standard size for the jpegs to be loaded in & then use the stage object to jiggle about with the stage contents?

3.Just set the “Publish Settings” to 100% & ensure that the jpegs to be loaded are of a size that will enable them to scale up well on large monitors?

Any help much appreciated.
