Help With Actionscripts
I am designing a game and I have a dynamic text box with the variable named power. Throughout the game the number in this box will rise. For an enemy in the game I will have a health bar that will decline as the enemy gets hit. How can i use the number in the power text box to determine how much the health bar will decline. Please give me an example of a script. It will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

here is my code:
If _root.player, HitTest (_root.object2) then
telltarget "?my movie"
gotostop "56"

but I want to know how do you tell the movie to move to a specific frame?

that only thing I know is how to tell a moveclip to move a specific frame inside of it.

how do you tell the movie to move...

ActionScripts... Where Do They Go?
problem solved... Thank you so much

Actionscripts
hello,

i am new at this flash thing. heres the situation. I have a looped from frame, say, 135 to 195 - i.e. the movie plays within these frames. I have written an action script to jump to frame 196 on a button click. simple so far. the trouble is once it reaches the 196th frame, the movie doesnt display anything even though there are clips and objects beyond it.

i have been at it for hours and cant figure out why does it not display the clips beyond 196. help!

FULL Actionscripts For EVERYTHING?
One quick question for you guys. A guy wants a Flash site where ALL the tweens are in actionscripts. Although I doubt this is possible, (tell me if it is or not) but let's just say it is. Tell me something, as developers, would you want to waste your time writing actionscripts for EVERY single motion tween out there? I mean, really, can someone tell me how much file size (give me a percentage) it would save? I seriously doubt it'd help any more than about a 5% file size decrease, if even that. Oh, and I'm not talking about extreme tweens where things bounce around, etc, I'm talking about your BASIC Flash sites. As a developer, what do you think is optimal as far as doing the least for the most?

Sliding MCs With Actionscripts
here's the deal. I have five menu items(buttons) lined up vertically. In front of those menu items I have a MC that magnifies them (covering one item at a time). That part works fine.

I want to be able to click on another menu item and have that button set the Y axis variable so the magnifying MC slides along the y axis to the click item. Sliding being the part I can't make happen. I've found similar examples in Flash 5 but I need to do this project in Flash 4. And am have had no luck converting the code. Does anyone have a flash 4 example they could share?

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

CGI And Flash Actionscripts
Hi,

I am looking for help. I have tried to use several tutorials but never seemed to work properly and I am wondering if you know a good tutorial that would help me building a flash form with a submit button. I am using an apache server with perl, cgi-bin. The latest version. I would like to be able to receive the form via my email located on hotmail.

Thanks.

Problem With Actionscripts
I am making a brickles-type game for fun and I have run into a problem. The ball can't get the _x and _y or any other value of the paddle. I am sure it is just some simple problem with how I worded it:
if (paddle._y <= _y) {
}

That should do something when the paddle's y value is less than the ball's y value. It doesn't.

Even doing this:
trace (paddle._y);
doesn't work. Therefore I think I worded it wrong. What do you say instead of "paddle._y" to get the y value of the paddle?

DuplicateMovieClip And Actionscripts
Hi,

i created a matrix of squares with the function duplicateMovieClip and set some properties on the duplicated clips.
This is the code that does it:

Code:
amount = 100;
perrow = 10;
counter = 0;
while (amount>0) {
duplicateMovieClip (square, "mc"+i, i);
if(amount % perrow == 0) {
FromTop = FromTop + 10;
counter = 0;
}
setProperty ("mc"+i, _x, counter * 10);
setProperty ("mc"+i, _y, FromTop);
setProperty ("mc"+i, _alpha, 100 / counter);
i++;
counter++;
amount--;
}

Now I want that when someone rolls over one of the duplicated clips, this clip will get other properties (width, height, alpha, wathever)

I also want that every time a movie loops (onClipEvent(enterFrame) ) it changes the alpha of that clip. In that way I want to create a kind of "wave" in the alpha values of the squares.

I hope this make any sense ?

Thankx for the help,
kGP

Actionscripts Along The Timeline
If I have a actionscript at frame 1 (just a on(press) action) and then I put a different actionscript at frame 50, it seems that my button doesn't work anymore after frame 50, unless I repeat the original on(press) script at frame 50.

Make sense?

Flash 4 And Actionscripts

ActionScripts With Scenes
Hi, all.
Recently having some problem with using scene in Flash.
Would like some advice.
I have 3 scenes, Main, Scene B, Scene C.
Main is the starting scene.
I will go to Scene B or C from Main.

In Scene B and C, I have a function
code: _root.onMouseDown = function() {//bring me to main};
this will bring me back to Main.

Here comes the problem.
After returning from Scene B or C,
when I click the mouse in Main,
It actually trigger the mouseDown function from Scene B or C.

I would like to ask has anybody experienced this?
Is it becos Flash only allows one
code: _root.onMouseDown = function() {//bring me to main};
to be declasred in the whole movie?
Thanks

Sound Actionscripts
hey,

i'm aware of actions in relation to sound such as playsound, stopsound, stopallsounds,

but i was wondering if there's a script out there that allows you to prevent new sounds from coming up? kinda like a 'silent' mode

Can ActionScripts Contain CSS Features?
I am building a resource guide for a company that will be hundreds of companies. Each company will have a hyperlink to it's website.

The the guide will have multiple sections with scrolling lists of these companies.

Althgh I've been working in flash for years, I'm limited in my action scripting.

My solution to adding all the hyperlinks is to just creat that part of the company as a button. But the buttons need to be decorative such as a different color and underline when hover.

In html, CSS handles that flawlessly on a global level. Does flash action script have a feature where if I assign an instance to a button it to can have features such as text font, color, underline, etc...

thanks for any help.

ActionScripts Not Executing
Having an issue similar to KB401230, but with newer player. Scripts are ignored on my flash movies. And, when I try to debug, it says it can't because there are no Actionscripts. I tried moving scripts to the second frame as the KB suggested, but that did NOT work. I have simple scripts: stop the timeline@each frame and provide interaction with elements on-stage. Is there any file or network permissions issues not allowing the scripts to run? We sometimes have strange permissions on our PCs and network. Are there any files that are used WHEN COMPILING the movie (Ctrl+Enter) that might get flagged as not allowed for execution if network/file permissions were strict? Please help. I'm very frustrated, and this is making my work difficult. As far as changes go, I simply added some stage objects and some interaction scripting. But now ALL my movies (even old ones that I've tested) have the same problem when compiled/tested into the SWF.

Match 2 Different ActionScripts
Hi,

Can somebowy help me with the following:
On frame 1, I have 2 different MC's ("LetterY" & "Symbol5").

They get both a Random color by Actionscript by uploading or refreshing the page. But they both have a different choosen color. Example 'Blue and green'.

What I want to try/do is to get "LetterY & Symbol5" the same Randomised color by "ONE" Actionscript on frame 1.
So I get the SAME Colordefinition (Randomised) for "LetterY" & "Symbol5" and by example they are both Orange.

Can somebody help me?

TX !

See below the AC at the moment.

---

myColor = Math.round( Math.random()*0xFFFFFF );
myColoredObject = new Color (_root.LetterY);
myColoredObject.setRGB(myColor);

myColor = Math.round( Math.random()*0xFFFFFF );
myColoredObject = new Color (_root.Symbol5);
myColoredObject.setRGB(myColor);

Help With Simple Actionscripts...
I'm currently teaching myself how to do simple stuff with actionscript. I've gotten the basic concept but I keep having problems and my endless experimentation just isn't working. For right now, all I'm trying to teach myself is how to move, resize, fade etc. movies. Nothing too complicated, but whenever I try to get it to do something after one action has occurred, it all goes downhill from there.

For example, I have one movie that I want to fade in along with another movie; once they have faded in, I want them to fade back out again, and then I want to resize movie #1. I can get them to fade in, but that's about it. How can I get it to do each thing consecutively? I've tried every combination that my brain can come up up with, but nothing works; all it'll do is fade them in and anything else I want it to do afterwards just doesn't work.

I've had this problem before — having more than one action try to execute in the proper order — but I never did find a solution to it. The only real thing I can find to do is split the code up frame by frame, so what I want it to first do happens on the first frame, then when it's done it goes to the second frame and that code executes, then the third etc. I figure there has to be an easier way than that though.

I'd greatly appreciate any pointers on this topic or advice, lines of codes, explanations, examples etc. Anything!!

Differences Between The 3 Actionscripts
Well I'm kinda a new person to actionscript. Do I need to learn actionscript 1 and 2? Should I just learn the 3rd one? What are the differences between the 3? Which one do you recommend on me learning. Do you have a recommendation to a site of a tutorial?

Stealing Code/actionscripts...OK? NOT OK?
This guy I know uses .fla he finds on the flashkit, et al., modifies it and then claims it as his own - I use .fla to STUDY and learn the scripting/strucure of that particular site, which is what I believe these open resources are intended for - MY QUESTION IS: is it okay(ethically) to copy flash scripting and use it to make money with it? One argument would be YES, copy it just like you would copy some complicated Javascript and then concentrate on designing a tight site - this seems to be a more round-about version of smartclips, no? The other side would be NO, it is not okay, since often actionscripting is inseperable from graphics/logos/etc. so the code becomes intellectual property, like a commercial photograph or a logo.
What do you think? Love, J_red

ActionScripts Question From A Beginner
I saw the tutorial on this site regarding Animations and Loops. I'm new to flash so I'm trying to get a feel for how to develop a flash page from scratch. I can get the animation working according to this tutorial.

I'd like to reduce the animations to just two or three frames in the main scene layer of the flash page (I don't know what the proper terminology is for saying this)

I was reading a tutorial but forgot to bookmark it on how to reduce the frames in the movie by using layers (my history is set for one day) . To make it easy, I created a symbol of a circle moving across the screen and another symbol of a box moving across the sreen. I would like to have the circle moving across the screen to appear after a box moves across the screen 1 time (the box should no longer be present when the circle appears).

When I put just the first symbol(the box) down in the first frame I get it repeatedly moving across the screen - even if I set the symbol loop for 1. When I put the second symbol in on the second frame I get flashing between
the two symbols but no movement. Can someone please let me know where I am going wrong.

Thanks
