Flash :: Cleaner Scripting

Scripting Is Supposed Flash Movie Much Cleaner
Scripting is supposed flash movie much cleaner, there should be a straight forward way to do this.

the example we can call "test.swf"

the movie clip we will call "fade" which resides inside the library

"fade" extends over 50 frames the first 30 have a snazzy animation upon a mouse click on a button in the main menu.
I would like to use this movie clip again just starting at frame 30. My question is can you reference a frame label inside the "fade" clip from the "test.swf?"

Note tell target is usefull by adding a ../ script you can exit a movie clip. Can you preform this code to enter in a clip?

Much thanks

Hi
Just wondering if anyone uses Cleaner EZ which comes with Premier etc to compress their video files into Quicktime?
Im stuck on selecting the right settings...I need the video to be fairly small but it ALWAYS ends up being too blurred...
Thanks!

Can This Be Cleaner?
this is a movieclip that can move threw a maze of objects. if the user hits an object the movieclip jumps to frame that shows it crashing. Everything works. my question is.. can the code be cleaner or wrapped up in a function?

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(37)&& hitTest(_level0.wall)==false) {
_x=_x-4;
}
if (Key.isDown(38)&& hitTest(_level0.wall)==false) {
_y=_y-4;
}
if (Key.isDown(39)&& hitTest(_level0.wall)==false) {
_x=_x+4;
}
if (Key.isDown(40)&& hitTest(_level0.wall)==false) {
_y=_y+4;
}
if (hitTest(_level0.wall)==true) {
this.gotoAndPlay("hit");

}
if (hitTest(_level0.wall2)==true) {
this.gotoAndPlay("hit");

}
if (hitTest(_level0.wall3)==true) {
this.gotoAndPlay("hit");

}
}

[F8] Is There A Cleaner Way To Do This?
This code works just fine for restricting the area I can draw in, but it seems very inefficient. Is there a better way?

Code:
onMouseMove = function () {
if (_xmouse>32 && _ymouse>32 && _xmouse<607 && _ymouse<397) {
drawingArea.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
}
};
My movie actually uses close to 100% CPU after scribbling a lot, and I think it might be this code thats doing it.

Cleaner Code
I have a code that consolidates current moneys into the least amount of tokens possible. It works but the actual code is extremely bulky, i was wondering if anyone has a tip or sees something that can be removed/replaced for less code

Thanks
code: C_Amount = _root.betTotal;
if(C_Amount < 25)
{
NumLeft = C_Amount % 10;
if(NumLeft < 5)
{
dollar_1 = NumLeft;
dollar_10 = (C_Amount - NumLeft) / 10;
}else{
NumLeft1 = NumLeft % 5;
dollar_1 = NumLeft1;
dollar_5 = (NumLeft - NumLeft1) / 5;
dollar_10 = (C_Amount - NumLeft) / 10;

Cleaner Code
Hi all, I'm currently working on creating a simulated training flash-based presentation and I'm looking to improve my coding habits.
Part of the simulation was to create a custom cursor that functions just as any data entry cursor would. Here's where I need to improve:
The user is restricted to only entering uppercase glyphs at this point, so the cursor should only respond if a letter character is pressed. All other characters should be ignored. I've figured a method to do this, and it works just fine, but the code is very repetitive and long. I'm guessing that there is a better way to do this by referencing a list of key codes in the conditional statement, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Here's what the code looks like
Thanks

Code:
onClipEvent(keyDown) {
//ignore tab
if (key.isDown(9)) {
this._x = this._x;

If/Else - Is There A Cleaner Code?
Hello all,

I am currently working on a flash file and I'm an intermediate user. My actionscript abilities are probably close to beginner, but I'm a quick learner (most of what I have learned with actionscript has been self taught).

In my flash file I have an animation of a rotating globe. Each frame of the rotation is a separate raster image - I don't know how you would represent a rotating globe otherwise, not really something that can be tweened (suggestions are welcome).

I have different locations off to the side of the globe. When the user mouses over a location, the globe spins to that location. When they roll out, the globe spins back to a static starting point.

I wanted the animation of the globe to be as smooth as possible, so, I have a }else{ statement for every possible frame. IE - if the globe animation is rotating back from a position and the user mouses over a new location before the animation stops, it doesn't jump back to the starting static position, it seemlessly flows from the position it is currently at to the new position the user has moused over.

Make sense?

It works flawlessly as is. I've spent quite a bit of time testing it. However, the code is bulky in appearance and according to the size report bulky in bytes as well.

Is there a differnent way to set this up to cut down on size - mainly byte size if possible?

I will include a bit of code so you can see what I'm talking about:

on (rollOver) {
if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 1) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(140);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 160) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(156);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 161) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(155);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 161) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(154);
} else { if (_root.EarthClip._currentframe == 163) {
_root.EarthClip.gotoAndPlay(153);

and so on, and so on . . .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

[CS3] Help Need A Cleaner Way To Write This Array Of Buttons
Hi there,

not sure how difficult this is going to be, but I have 30 movie clips, which will all be sequentially numbered. (pos1, pos2, pos3......pos30).

They will all have the same functions, with the only change being the number.

I know there is a more efficient way to write this code using arrays, but I will need help with it. I would rather have 10 lines of code than 150.

I also need help with writing the code, that will disable all other movie clips, once the first one is clicked.

Also, not sure how tricky the javascript part will be.

Below is the code i am trying to achieve, but the long version.

PHP Code:

pos1.onRelease=function(){
    this.gotoAndStop("selected");
    getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',1)");
    (all other buttons).enabled = false;
}

pos2.onRelease=function(){
    this.gotoAndStop("selected");
    getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',2)");
    (all other buttons).enabled = false;
}

pos3.onRelease=function(){
    this.gotoAndStop("selected");
    getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',3)");
    (all other buttons).enabled = false;
}

pos4.onRelease=function(){
    this.gotoAndStop("selected");
    getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',4)");
    (all other buttons).enabled = false;
}

... all the way to

pos30.onRelease=function(){
    this.gotoAndStop("selected");
    getURL("Javascript:JSposition('',30)");
    (all other buttons).enabled = false;
}

AS Guru's please help!!!
Thanks.

Flash Media Cleaner Addons
I'm looking for an add-on lilke Sorenson Squeeze for Flash, but this is a little pricey for me.

http://www.sorensonstore.com/product.../sq4mfwin.html

Does anyone know of something comparable for less? I know. You get what you pay for, but I need something to get me by while I'm learning Flash.

I'm not looking for shareware, etc. Just an inexpensive, nifty program to get me started as a newbie.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I just say I'm loving Flash. I just starting using it a few days ago, and I'm hooked! This is so much nicer when embedding video to webpages. Whoa!

Edit:
Does anyone know if the addon comes with Studio MX 2004? Because I plan on upgrading very soon. I definately don't want to dish out $119.00 for the addon if it ships with Macro's latest studio.

Quick Question For Cleaner Code
Just need some advice on how to clean this code up. I know there has got to be a way to combine the 2 movieclips....

Basically I have 4 movieClip buttons. currently only the first is working.... How would I add the other f2, f3, f4 MC's without having to write a function for each one?

Here is the code I have:

Code:

f1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);

f2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);

f3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);

f4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, hoverOver);
f4.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, hoverOut);

function hoverOver(event:MouseEvent):void
{
f1.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

function hoverOut(event:MouseEvent):void
{
f1.gotoAndStop(11);
}

f1.buttonMode = true;
f2.buttonMode = true;
f3.buttonMode = true;
f4.buttonMode = true;

Problematic Flash Files: "Cleaner" Needed (Paid)
Hello all,

I've hit a wall in several small Flash movies that are integrated into one online course, things that I'm sure I can figure out with time, but time is something I ain't got. I need a Flash wiz who can figure out what I've done wrong, improve the actionscripting where necessary, and also finish off some elements that have me stumped (and tell me what I've done wrong in the process). It's actually pretty basic stuff...and all the major groundwork has been done...but there might be a few challenges. You need to be familiar with video/audio integration...everything else is standard stuff.

If you're interested, please send me an e-mail and let me know your preferred method of payment: hourly or project-basis...and if you prefer hourly, please let me know your hourly rate since I have to get approval. Also, please include a link to your Flash portfolio.

BTW - This could possibly lead to a long-term project-basis work relationship.

Thanks! I hope to hear from you!

Flash 5 Scripting Vs MX Scripting
ok, I have this script on a movieclip called g_loader:

onClipEvent(load) {
loadMovie("contact.swf",this);
}

onClipEvent(data) {
trace(this.getBytesTotal())
}

this is how it would be written in flash 5, and it worked fine.

I tried to write the same thing using MX syntax:

g_loader.onLoad = function() {
loadMovie("contact.swf",g_loader);
}

g_loader.onData = function() {
trace(g_loader.getBytesTotal())
}

And it WILL NOT WORK!! Am I going insane? Why won't this work!!!????

URL Scripting.
I've have a site made partly in flash.
And I have some buttons which are linked to other web pages.
My question is. Do i really need to specify the entire URL..the actual URL or can i just use it juts like that with the '/' or ''
all the pages are in e same folder including that of the page wit the flash component.
eg..the page name is ; Intro.htm
and therefore at the URL of go to ..do i have to type out the entire URL for eg. http://www.dunearnguides.scriptmania.com/Intro.htm
??

Thanks in advance..Cos i'm rather blurr on this..

Scripting Help
I'm working on a digital cv that has a pixelized version
of my face on it. As you roll over a series of button's the
relevant section of the face stretches out and will ultimately reveal a part of my cv.

The problem i'm having seem's to be with the way i've ordered or positioned the script. The script works if you roll over the buttons seperatly, but if you roll over all the buttons at once you don't get the desired effect of growing and shrinking. The script seem's to get confused or conflict with itself.

If anyone has a minute to help and look at my fla I could e-mail it to you and would be very grateful as it's almost there and is doing my head in.

Scripting Can't Get It?
Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble getting an certain effect to work. I want to have something similar to the old 2advanced site what I'm trying to achieve is when a button is clicked I want a external swf to load in to main movie clip but while its loading I want these two doors to come in over whats loading behind the doors and stay there until the external movie is done loading. When the movie is loaded I want the doors to then open again! This is my code on the button.
on (release) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndPlay("open");
loadMovie ("members.swf", "membersload");
_root.introclip.membersload._x = -325;
_root.introclip.membersload._y = -179;
_root.introclip.membersload._yscale = 86;
loaded = _root.introclip.membersload.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.introclip.membersload.getBytesTotal();
if (loaded == total) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndPlay("closed");
} else if (loaded < total) {
_root.introclip.shutter.gotoAndStop("closed");
}
}
if anyone could help it would be great!

Hi guys,
What I'd like to do is autodecrement a number and put it into a variable so I don't need to specify the amount of levels I have. But I can't seem to get the variable (i) working in the script above. What this basically does is pauses any movie clips that are playing in particular levels but I would like to set the _level so that it is automatically updated rather than type each individual level number and repeat the script.

Thanks again

Scripting Help?
Hello Board_

I am loading an SWF into another using the following action script :
________________________________

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("Tree.swf", 200);
}
________________________________

I guess that to most, I'm being rather redundant in saying that this script loads "Tree.swf" to level 200 of my main movie.
The SWF loads in the Upper Left corner of my main movie.
How can I make it load to a position 150 pixels down from there?
I am not planning on changing the X-axis coordinates.
Any help would be great.

Best Regards,
KQ

Is anybody out there can help me to figure out the script below? the script below is to control a car by the arrow keys, but this script only works when I put the car movie clip and the boundary movie clip on the main stage which is the _root.

What I want is to put the boundary movie clip on the main stage (_root.boundary) and the car movie clip put inside another movie clip called land (_root.land.car), but once i put the car and the boudary in a different place, the car will not stop when it hits the boundary.

i will really appreciate it if someone can help me on this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
// this script is to attach to the car movie clip.

if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
speed -= 1;
}
// tells the car to slow down after the speed of 20
if (Math.abs(speed)>20) {

Scripting Help
I nned some help with a script that zooms out and zooms in. I have the zooming part working good but I can't get it to zoom out from center. I know very vague, so i attached a file for a better explanation. By looking at the flash file the problem sould be very obvious.
Thanks for the help

Scripting Help
Hey all,

I am not very familiar with actionscripting. I am learning thanks to all of you in this forum. I have used in my movie the "loadmovie action" and everything works fine. Now the problem I have is that I have pictures that I want to click on (like a button) and have each picture become larger and center in the same movie. I have done some reading with the available tutorials that I can find and it is apparent (i hope I am right) that i need to introduce some variables. I dont know how to assign or even begin to start with variables. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I am using FLASH 5....

Thanks

Greetings all. I'm a new Flasher and I'm going crazy. Ok, maybe i'm already crazy from trying to make something work that doesn't. Here goes. I downloaded a file from Flashkit and don't know what I'm suppose to do with it to make it work. (DUH) It's action scripting but I don't know where to input the script in order to make it work. Am I suppose to put this in something like Frontpage or HTML or should I be putting it straight into Flash. I have the MX version. Am I way off beat or what. Many thanks for any feedback.

Here's the script.
