Simple Scripting Que?/
Here's the scoop, I'm a beginner coder, I have a logo that I am having fade in, increase in _alpha, _xscale, _yscale. But when it comes in, I want it to fade back out at like half, maybe a quarter the incoming speed. I dont know how to make it move anything other than the initially set speed, in this case 1/6. Anybody feel like playing Superman?

Here's the code on my frame that calls it to action:

logo_mc.targ = 100;
logo_mc.targB = 140;
logo_mc.targC = 140;

Here's the code on my symbol:

onClipEvent (load) {
targ = 0;
targB = 1;
targC = 1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_alpha -= (_alpha-targ)/6;
_xscale -= (_xscale-targB)/6;
_yscale -= (_yscale-targC)/6;
}

Simple Scripting
Hi, everyone

I have a very basic quiz that I'm experimenting with. I'd like, at this point, just to count the questions and see if I can display the number at the end.

I initialized the variables - right, wrong - on the first frame. I don't want the question counted if the user clicks a wrong answer before clicking on the right answer. On the button for the right answer, I have this little script:

on (release) {
if (wrong=0) {
right = "right+1";
gotoAndPlay(699);
} else {
wrong = "0";
gotoAndPlay(699);
}
}

On the last frame of the quiz, I have a dynamic text box set to display the variable - right.

Thanks.

Please Help With Simple Scripting
I'm trying to create a little 10 image slideshow with a simple play/pause button.

The images fade in and out with a tween, and are paused for a few seconds between fades using the following code:

Code:
stop();

Code:

var nInterval = setInterval(Play, 3000);

function Play() {
clearInterval(nInterval);
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe+1);
}
I'm trying to add a play/pause button as well as a coupe of skip buttons, but I'm having real trouble stopping the main timeline, I've tried a few different methods revolving around

Code:
on(release){
_root.stop();
this.nextFrame();
}

(this.nextFrame(); is used as my play/pause buttons are on frames 1 and 2 of a 2 frame movie clip on the main timeline, used to show different button states)

It's since struck me that when I stop the timeline with the button it probably sets a new interval and then plays again after 3 seconds?

My question is - How do I get round this? Alternatively if someone can point out another method to both pause my images for a few seconds and stop everything all together then I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!
Matthew

Rotating An Image
I have an imported jpeg in my flash file that I want to display rotated slightly (15%).
If I use the Free Transform tool or the Transform>Rotate and Scale method, the image shows up very pixellated when I run the file.

So my question is... is there a way to rotate an image and have it display crisply in Flash?

(Rotating in Photoshop does not work as the white area shows up behind the rotated canvas.)
Thanks in advance...

Simple Scripting Problem
Hi Flashkit buddies....
I'm stuck with the problem regarding the showing the value of variable "i" with the increment simultaneuously. I've tried everything possible to have desired output. Actually, during the course of my project I'm working now, an animation is based on that increment. So it would be really easy if I could get the output I desire. I've included my simple action script assigned on frames below :

In Frame 1::

i=0;

In frame 2::

i=i+1;

In frame 3::

numtext.text=i;
gotoAndPlay("2");

In frame 2 , I've put the action script of waiting for specified time (in milisecond) before heading to Frame 3. I've put 1000 milisecond (1 Second). That means it should display increased value (by 1) of "i" in every 1 second. That waiting script works but the main prolblem here is that it doesn't show the value of "i" with increment. Every time it shows only "1". I guess something is missing in above mentioned frame action but don't have idea what it would be. Please help me out with suggestion. Every sort of suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance...

Newb Need Simple Scripting Help

[F8] Simple Button Scripting... PLZ Help
All right... this should be a very simple thing, but no matter what code I place where I can't get it to work.

I have an animation that all needs to be linked together through buttons. There are six scenes that are all individual movie clips, and after each one plays, an arrow appears. The viewer should be able to click on the arrow and have the next clip load.

I know this seems so stupid and simple, but can someone give me the proper code to get this to work... and please tell me where I need to put everything?

Do I need to line up all the movie clips on the main timeline? Because when I do that, it starts playing the first one but flashes back and forth through all the clips at the same time. If I use a "stop" function on the main timeline, it successfully plays the first clip but the button ends up going nowhere.

I have tried giving my button an instance name (I think that's the right term), as well as labeling my movie clips and labeling the frames they are on in the main timeline (not all at the same time of course).

Honestly, I can't even remember which codes I tried where already. I had all sorts of combinations of onPress, on (release), = function (), _root.scene_name.play, gotoAndPlay, etc.

The file is too big to attach, I don't know if it really needs to be viewed to get this to work. Seems like it should be simple except I'm a n00b. ;_; Someone, please help me?

Simple Action Scripting
So with this new CS3 Flash program I can't even figure out how to program a button that only has a hit area in it in order to move farther along the timeline.

I did this in Flash 9 with no problem: http://oregonstate.edu/~bullocka/biodiesel.swf

I made a movie clip for each state that faded in and faded out, then i programmed the movie clip on roll over play/stop etc etc. But now in CS3 I can't do that or even get a simple action script to work on a button. It always says "This ________ cannot have actions applied to it." HELP!

Scripting Simple Motion
Hello,

I need to be able to move a movieclip via code, but very simply. Something like :

Code:
mymovieclip.moveto(x,y,speed)
I also need to rotate a movie clip, it pretty much the same way as before:

Code:
mymovieclip.rotate(180,speed)
So I could write something like:

Code:
mymovieclip.rotate(180,10);
mymovieclip.moveto(50,50,30);
Essentially, I need to create a simple motion tween via actionscript. I've looked at the tween class but it looks awfully complicated for what I'm trying to do, and I'm trying to go for simplicity, so it's not too suitable.

I just need those two functions, and am looking to make them as simply as possible. Any help in writing these functions would be appreciated, as I don't really know were to begin.

I am using Flash 8.

Thanks for any help provided.

Rotating An Image On Mouse Over
I want to rotate an image of a volume knob to a text button when a user places his/her mouse over the text button. There are going to be about 4 text buttons surrounding the left side of the knob. I want the knob to rotate to whatever text button the user mouses over. How do I do it? I am a novice at this so I need the procedure to be in basic layman's terms! I've added an image so you can better understand what I mean. It's just an image... no attempt at making the .swf file.

Rotating Image Gone Wrong?
Hello there.

I'm currently in the midst of creating a flash site. However, as part of my site I have incorporated an arm from a turntable. Basically, what I am trying to achieve is the arm coming across and playing a record. I have cut the tonearm into 3 images, a base image, the tonearm and a top image. The base and the top are static images of above and below the arm that will not move. But the arm itself I need to rotate about 20 degrees from a selected pivot point and heres were my problem begins.

At the moment I can only get it to rotate 360 degrees... as well as the fact that it rotates from the top of the image... i.e. looks very stupid and TOTALLY not what I want.

If anyone could be kind enough to break a method down to me of how I would go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated.

Please be very specific, cuz I am a n00b after all

Rotating Image With Reflections
A few years back I bought a manual for Director 6.0. In the back of the manual there was a demo disc showing some samples of other people's work. One of the samples was called Big Top. It was a totating logo in shinny gold, and as it rotated, you would see reflections of objects and light on the surface. At one Time I asked how it was done, and was told that an ap called RayDream Designer could do it. I was told that in that ap, you could draw a 3D room, with the four walls, floor and ceiling, and when you placed an object in the center of the room and rotated it, you would end up with a rotating image with the reflection from the walls. I never tried it, and long ago RayDream Designer stopped being supported. Recently, I was told that the same thing could be done with Photoshop or Flash, but I have not figured out how it is done. What I want to do, is create a 3D image of a logo in gold, chrome, or somethign reflective, and have it rotate with the reflections as it rotates. I have seen similar thing on TV commercials, but I think I need a little help on figuring out how this is done.

Layers/Simple Action Scripting
Hello

I've got a movie with 3 layers in it (currently)- One is the background, the other two are animations (the background itself is an animation as well.) What I want to do is insert a "goto and play" command at the last frame in each layer. For the background layer, it only needs to play 3 key frames before looping again. Instead of just copying and pasting these frames (which makes the time line overweight and ugly... and we don't want overweight and ugly, now do we? )I figured I could insert an action script on the third key frame to go back and play frame 1. I also did the same thing for the second layer (a pair of lines, just a motion tween) but put the script at frame 25.) I did the same thing for frame 80 on the third layer (I'm using a 30 fps rate to get a strobe light-like effect for the background) but had it go back to frame 30.

From my knowledge of Flash, this shouldn't be any problem... but when I tested the movie, on frame 25 it simply stops. No more animations... nothing...

What in the @#$%^! am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Dereck

Button Scripting, Simple, But Hard For Me. Please Help
I know this is a simple question, but I cannot figure this out. Here is the deal...

I have several layers on one scene. There is a short animated intro and then on frame 125 I need all of the layers to stop doing what they are doing. When frame 125 appears there is a menu to the left (of buttons). Ideally, what I would like is when a user would click on one of those buttons it will take you to another frame in the same scene. Depending on which button you click would depend on which frame you would go to within that scene. Here are my questions:

1) I know that I need to use a 'stop' action on frame 125, but do I need to have that 'stop' action on each layer?

2) I know that on the buttons I need to put the actionscript to say: on (release); {gotoandplay (whatever frame # here)}, but I cannot get it to work. After I have inputed that code on my button it does not gotoandplay. It does nothing.

What am I doing wrong? Please help!

[F8] Simple Audio Scripting Question
I'm calling my sounds via actionscript instead of placing them on the timeline. How do I script to control the volume?? I know that usually if a sound is on the timeline _root.soundname.setVolume(); will do, but I can't get that to work with this method. My code is below. I know this has to be a simple thing, but I've tried several different ways and can't get it to work right.

The reason I'm wanting to figure this out is that I have a mute button, and when the mute button is pressed it equals true. So when it's true I want to set the volume of my sounds to zero. And when the mute button is pressed again it equals false. So when it's false I want to se the volume to 100. I know how to set this up in an if then statement, but just need to figure out the setVolume command. Thanks so much for your time and help.

Code:
//setting up the variable for my sounds and background music

var dynamic_sound:Sound = new Sound();
dynamic_sound.onLoad = function() {
dynamic_sound.start(0, 0);
};

var dynamic_music:Sound = new Sound();
dynamic_music.onLoad = function() {
dynamic_music.start(0, 99);
};

//code I put on a specific frame to call a sound
dynamic_sound.loadSound("new_stair_access.mp3", false);
}

[MX] Simple Rotating Menu, Problem: Returning To Zero
I'm working on my homepage, and I want the menu to rotate according to which part of the site you are on. The current page should be to the right.

Here's the file.

It works somewhat, but there's a problem. And I think it's because the calculations are wrong when going from/to a rotation of 270 to/from 0...

I've tried making a work-around. But it doesn't work correctly:

Code:
if ((next = 0) and (last = 270)) {
speedinc = (last - 360) / 12;}
else if ((next = 270) and (last = 0)) {
speedinc = (360 - next) / 12;}
else {
speedinc = (last - next) / 12;}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

if(frame>300){ //number of frames of animation
frame=1;
}

else if(left){
frame--;
if(frame<1){
frame=300;

Rotating Image When Mouse Pressed.
Good evening everyone,

The following are the list of effects that I wanted to achieve:

- By clicking on an image and moving the mouse up or down enables the image to rotate.
- The image is stationed in one position, so it does not move other than the rotation.

The following are the list of steps that caused a problem that I encountered.

1) Click on the image
2) Move the mouse out of the image area while pressing.
3) Release the button
4) Move back into the image area.

The result is that the image will still rotate even though the button has been released. The problem is because the "Release" event occurred when it was outside the image, the script will consider that the image is still being "Pressed".

Is there a solution to how I can make the stop rotating even when the mouse is outside the image area? Your help is much appreciated.

I have attached the files for this case.

Rotating Image Header With < 1 2 3 > Navigation
Hi there-

I am trying to create a rotating image header like the one on Dell.com where there is navigation for the varios image slides such as < 1 2 3 >. Creating the linear timeline is no problem for me (one image statically fades into the next on the timeline) - my issue is that I don't know how to make it so that the fade between images is dynamic, ie, that the user jumps around using the <1 2 3 > navigation, and whatever slide the user is on fades into the one they clicked on, which I am figuring is somehow dynamically set with AS (I have only basic AS and XML skills). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know how to ducktape this to work within a really long timeline, but I'd like to make it as efficient as possible. Thanks in advance!
