Beginer Help
Im just starting with Flash, and I cant figure out how to get a layer to stay visible after the end of an effect.

Im trying to make a flash that is like someone is drawing lines in a picture. So i need the previous lines to stay visible, when the next line is drawn.

Any suggestions?

There is probably a simple answer that im overlooking, but its usually better just to ask, instead of spending hours searching and trying things.

Thanks guys!

Papervision Beginer Questions
Hey gang,

Following Lee's super tuts on Papervision I wanted to continue my learning, but frankly I'm not finding a lot of great documentation. Thus I have some very basic questions I was hoping you can answer with at least a yes or no.

1.) Is it possible to establish a pivot point for an object in Papervision. A point from which it can rotate even if that is not the center of the object or the stage? Imagine a door in the center of the screen. If it were to open it would be from the hinge on the edge, not the center. Is this possible?

2.) Is it possible to position materials on a privative? I'm attempting to apply a movie material that involves a mask with animated elements moving beyond the edge of the mask at times. I find this is a problem for papervision as it seems to try to register a movie material based on the top left element in the movie. Since in my case that elements are moving, my material is constantly jumping around as well. How could I establish a fixed position for the material?

Thanks you in advance!

Absolute Beginer Question About Buttons
Hello all,

I'm trying to make buttons. The animation works when I "enable simple buttons" inside of Flash.

Problem: When I publish to HTML the button doesn't work. The mouse over doesn't work and the actions don't work either. It just acts like text. Sitting there frustrating me.

Can you help?

Sound On/off Button Beginer Question
I have a simple audio on / off button in a movie clip. By default the sound is playing and when the button is pressed the play head jumps to the off state. On my first frame in my actions layer I have a stop action to prevent the play head going to the off state on its own.

This all works fine until I have an instance of this button in my main time line animation. I'm find that if I turn off the audio it turns its self back on again when the play head loops i.e. goes back to the first frame.

How do I stop this. I need the main play head to not trip the audio back on.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Beginer Question - Stop Sound From Another Button.
I used the Flash MP3 player tutorial to add music to my site, but I have a small problem, that I am sure is an easy fix.

My site also has a video clip with sound on one of the pages. I want the music from the mp3 player to stop when the clip plays.

I was trying to use the stopAllSound command, and I tried to use the same PaseIt script - but I think my problem is with my action script. If a movie clip (acting as a button) is inside another movie clip how do I access that from the action script.

does it need the _parent?

Again, in my timeline I have a "navigation" movie with a "b7" movie. And that's the one I want to stop the mp3 player.

Thanks,
Rick

Trying To Do A Random Sound On "on (press)" (yes I Am A Beginer
I am trying to do a random sound on a on (press) event for a button. For the sounds "Be Quiet" and "Be Quiet2" I have modified the linkage and set the indentifier to the same names, also I checked "Export for action script" and "Export in first frame." When I test the movie and click on the button, no sound happens. I am thinking it must be the script, can anyone help me? There might even be a reward involved. (well a mediocre award) BTW I am somewhat a beginer in this, so bear with me if I get a tiny bit confused. Here is my current code.

on (press) {
var X = Math.floor(Math.random() * (2 - 1)) + 1;
if (X = 2) {
mySound.attachSound("Be Quiet");
mySound.start([0]);
}
if (X = 1){
mySound.attachSound("Be Quiet2");
mySound.start([0]);
}
}

Action Script Question: Where Is The OnRelease Action In The Action Folders
I’m working on a project and I trying to make it when you click down on a button that click will send you to a point in the movie and then a symbol will play from there. I know that you need to pick the key with the button on it in the time line and then I know you need to pick the button that you would like to assign the GoToAndPlay statement on.

But what’s really messing with me is where in the heck the on release or the on mouse down statement is in the little action a book when are looking in the action window.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm Still On The "beginer" Side Of "intermediate".
Hi There Everybody"
It's a simple rather straight forward question.

I'm "pretty good" with flash, I've been working with it on and off since version 4 was new. I divide my time between Flash, Dreamweaver, Director, Fireworks, Photoshop, Illustrator, quarkXP, Lightwave, Bryce, Vue4 Pro, AE, Premier, and the others like corel draw, freehand, paint shop pro, etc...

Just basically keeping up with the new tools, and interfaces as the newer versions hit the market.

I basically always stick to designing and learning about, and working with the tools. No coding, (I'm not the programming "type") stricktly left brain artsy type-a-guy. But I do like what I see thats happening with all these new Flash designed "techie" looking websites. Not only that but some of the really advanced interactive "experimental" things, and animations, I've been seeing too, like with the spiders that follow the mouse, or the ball that uses physics, and algorhythems to bounce on the string, the really cool stuff. How do I get to learning all that type stuff? What? Should I start with learning about Actionscript 1st? Do those guys that do the advanced stuff actually use trigonometry and stuff like that, "sin and cosin". etc...? How does one get his skills in flash from making simple tween animations, and splash pages, up to that level? How do you guy's that do that stuff get started in it? What should my next step be?
I just learned about using the small 7 & 9 pixel fonts, to get that small "techie" look. Are there any tutorials that show how to get that grey/black, blue/black/slate-grey looking "techie/modern" looking interfaces in Flash? Thats getting to be so popular amoung Flash using website designers lately. (Really they've been around for a few years, but now they're getting higher in numbers.) Like in this page.. http://www.vegart.com/main.html

Thank you for your time and patience in reading my questions, and answering it/them too.

On(rollOver)action + On(release)action + Photo Transition
Okay, I'll try to describe what I want to do and probably just need help putting it together.

I have :

5 black & white photos -- all converted to MC's (bwimage1, bwimage2 etc)
5 color photos (same as b&w) -- all converted to MC's (image1,image2 etc)
5 buttons -- all converted to symbol-buttons (image1_btn, image2_btn etc)

I have the 5 buttons lined up vertically on the left side of the page. I have a spot on the right side of the page where I want the picture to be visible, the black&white version on (rollOver) and the color version on(release).

I know how to make just one of the photos appear on rollover or on release but I don't know how to change the photos from B&W to Color on the actions. I would like a transition between the photos from rollover to release (b&w to color) like a fade.

Any help is appreciated.

Assign Cursor Action To MovieClip Using OnRollOver Action?
Hi all

I have a cool component from FlashLoaded which lets me create brilliant 3d layouts with out much hassle. The componet uses the cursors to zoom in zoom out and pan left and right.

I dont want to have to put an explanation on the site, I would like to put some invisible mc's or buttons on the stage that when the user rolls over them with the mouse it triggers that action.

Is there a simple piece of code i can place on the buttons to make this happen?

Many thanks in advance

Adding Action To Button Stops Other Action.
Flash MX.....

I have two frames, there resides on the stage a button with the instance name "blabla".

First frame actionscript is.....

blabla._y = blabla._y + 1;

Second frame actionscript is........

gotoAndPlay(1);

The button slides down the screen when published, that is the desired effect.

Problem..... as soon as I add any actionscript to the button, even just two comment slashes "//", the movement stops.

I have a feeling that there is some really basic concept that is flying over my head at the moment.

Button Triigers Action Only If Other Action Has Been Performed.
I need to make a button call an action only if another specific action has already been performed.

Here's the scenario:

I've got four MC's, each set up as a button, placed on my main stage and given an instance name.

Each MC has a stop action in the first frame. When the button is clicked the MC will begin to play simply by using this code:

on (release) {play();

Once it's off the screen (or no longer behind a mask I should say), the MC stops at a frame labeled "down" with a simple stop action. A few frames later, I have a frame labeled "up" that when triggered, will cause the mc to start again and the button/graphic that is off the screen will come back on the stage.

This works fine using the code below:

on (release) {play();
_root.associates.gotoAndPlay("up");
_root.services.gotoAndPlay("up");
_root.portfolio.gotoAndPlay("up");
}

However, I dont want the button to trigger any of the gotoAndPlay actions UNLESS the specific button has already been clicked and is off the stage.

I guess the code I am looking for would be something like this:

if_root.associates =("down") then _root.associates.gotoAndPlay("up");

any ideas?

Thanks

Question / MC Action (different Action By Clicking)
Hi. I am a beginner of ActionScript, and I need some help to do the Movie Clip action something like this:

(1) When you click a movie clip (say, square) itself, it moves to particular direction and stops.

(2) Then when you click it again, this time it moves to the other direction and stops at the position where it has used to be.

I would like to make this thing with all ActionScript.

I am appreciated if some of you could help me out. Thanks.

Have a nice day.

Delayed Action In CS3 Action Script 3.0
Hello everyone...

I've been working on a problem for three days now and have tried various forums attempting to get the answer. So..... I'm here to give the KIRUPA group a shot.
Here is my problem:

Using Flash CS3 and Action Script 3 I created a flash site with lots of pretty cool animation. On one page I have a few buttons which are linked to various urls. With my limited knowledge, the Flash CS3 Bible and the Action Script Bible I am able to get this far.

On this page, I would like to enter script for each of the buttons that will cause a delay of 5 seconds before the requested url action is taken and the user is taken to the next page. This is so the animation that is running can finish before the user is redirected to the requested url.

I hope that I've made myself clear on this issue. I've had a lot of practice attempting to explain this over the past few days.

Thank you VERY much in advance to the person who can help me with this problem.

How To Write: Perform Action, Then Perform Action?
I have the following piece of script on a MC:

onClipEvent(load) {
startX = this._x;
startY = this._y;
move = false;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (move) {
this._x += (destX - this._x) / 6;

}
}

What I would like to change this script to do is: onClipEvent, after (move), saying if move = true, perform the following operation THEN make move=false.

anyone know how I can write this? so that after move = true an action is performed (the MC moves to a destination x coordinate with velocity), then after it gets to its destination, make move = false.

thanks so much

more speciffically I am running one main movie that calls different other movies that are displayed on top. I want to put actions in the "bottom" movie that work as the "go to and play" action only in the movie that is on "top of" it. if that makes any sense at all.

when you click a button, the external movie clip is affected. is that possible?

Action Script 3.0 Covert To Action Script 2.0
OK....so I'm a newbie on this site but have a serious flash problem and was wondering if someone would be so kind to help me out. Here is my problem:

My site is built in (AS)3.0. I got to the end of building it and realized that the component(slideshow pro) that I wanted to use for the photo gallery is not 3.0 compatible, it needs to be 2.0.

So I figured this leaves me with two solutions, one easy way and one hard way. The easy way is to pull an external .swf (as2.0) file in a (as3.0) file. I couldn't get this way to work correctly though. The hard way to fix this problem is to convert the actionscript from 3.0 to 2.0. I couldn't find a generator or any software that could help me automatically do this(so if anyone knows of one please let me know).

Here is the code:

stop();
import flash.ui.Mouse;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

var homeX:Number = -1660;
var homeY:Number = 963;

var newsX:Number = -676;
var newsY:Number = 963;

var aboutX:Number = 214;
var aboutY:Number = 963;

var xTween:Tween;
var yTween:Tween;
var inTween:Tween;
var outTween:Tween;

xTween = new Tween(main_mc,"x",Strong.easeInOut,main_mc.x,homeX ,2,true);
yTween = new Tween(main_mc,"y",Strong.easeInOut,main_mc.y,homeY ,2,true);

inTween = new Tween(main_mc.home_mc,"alpha",None.easeNone,0,1,.5 ,true);
outTween = new Tween(main_mc.home_mc,"alpha",None.easeNone,1,0,.5 ,true);

xTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,f adeIn);
xTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_START,fa deOut);

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
news_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);

function navigate(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(event.target == home_btn)
{
setTween(homeX,homeY,main_mc.home_mc);
}
else if(event.target == news_btn)
{
setTween(newsX,newsY,main_mc.news_mc);
}
else
{
setTween(aboutX,aboutY,main_mc.about_mc);
}
}

function setTween(tweenX:Number,tweenY:Number,tweenMC:Movie Clip):void
{
xTween.begin = main_mc.x;
yTween.begin = main_mc.y;
xTween.finish = tweenX;
yTween.finish = tweenY;
tweenMC.alpha = 0;
inTween.obj = tweenMC;
xTween.start();
yTween.start();

}

function fadeIn(event:TweenEvent):void
{
inTween.start();
outTween.obj = inTween.obj;
}

function fadeOut(event:TweenEvent):void
{
outTween.start();
}

xTween.stop();
yTween.stop();
inTween.stop();
outTween.stop();

-If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Thank you

How Do You Use The (If) Action?
I got a problem, I'm always getting something messed up when I try to use the If Action in Flash, It always returns the statement true, this is the action im using right now but it always returns it true so it just goes to frame 3 but its not true untill songplaying=true right?

if (songplaying) {
gotoAndStop (3);
} else {
gotoAndStop (1);
}

In another movie clip on my stage on the first frame there is a button and when you click on it it goes to frame 2 which has this code in it,

_soundbuftime=10;
song.stop;
song = new Sound();
song.attachSound(loadmovie ("MoveYourBody.swf", "../c_sound"));
song.start;
songplaying=true;

Anyone know what my problem is? Is that even how you use the Else command?
