Flash :: Difficult Question About SendAndLoad

It Can't Be This Difficult
Thank you for your help in advance. In scene one frame one i have a mc (and a scene action "stop" to play this mc)- at the end of this clip i have a gotoandplay(scene 2, frame 1) action. In scene two frame one, is mc 2 (there is not scene action "stop" here). OK...the playhead goes to scene one mc and plays the clip all the way to the action. The playhead then jumps to the scene 2, frame 1 to play that clip. When I preview it just loops scene 1. I'm a director guy this should be simple?

2 Quite Difficult Ones I Think
hey,

I'm making a poll script in FLASH and PHP, so I load values into FLASH, works fine, I can get a nice graph with a variable number of bars in it, all having the right _height.

but I've got 2 more problems.

I have a textfield in the MC with the bar, and it doesn't show the text it has to, it doesn't even show default value!! If I make it a static textfield it shows alright, but a dynamic just seems to disappear. could it be from the attachmovie thingie? (I know masking and dynamic textfields also don't go along..)

another (less important, but I'm curieus about it) question is the setRGB. I made it possible to change the color of the bars with actionscript, but I can't seem to load the RGB value (0xaf5879 for example) from the PHP (for the moment just a txt file, but what's the difference). Is there a way I can do this, because I'd like to implement such a feature...

if this works out fine I promise to make a tutorial for FLASHKIT (in the holidays, I'm on exams now )

thx in advance for reading through this ****

Difficult?
Here is one.. if any code gurus could lend us a hand here..

I have a Base Movie/Stage that has 4 buttons to navigate the site. The 4 different sections of the site will be loaded with loadmovieNum from external swf files to _level3 of the origionaly loaded movie. When i change sections (ie press a different navigation button I want to load the corresponding external swf file into _level3 to replace the last _level3 section loaded.

all make sense?

problem is i want this transition to be gracefull, ie wipe off one section before the next loads, here is how i thought i could do it.. im no genius with coding so i may need a little help.

BaseMovie loads.
user clicks button on main movie - the button sets a variable on the main timeline (_level0) to a set variable for that button.
it then loads a wife off movie called erase.swf into _level4 (to wipe over _level3) then in its last frame it calls a function on the main timeline (_level0) to unload _level3 and _level4 (the wipe movie and the last movie loaded into _level3) , and then load a new movie using the variable set origionaly on the main timeline to _level3 (creating the smooth transitions!)

dont really understand the function thing, especially loading the specific external flash movie using the variable set by the button...

thanks and any help would be appreciated

It Can't Be That Difficult....
Hiya,

I have a back button that when clicked needs to go back and play the current frame -18, unless it’s frame 10 then it only needs to go back 8.

The code I am using just dose nothing, could some one point out the obvious for me.

on (release) {
a = currentframe -18;
if (_.root._currentframe ==10) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(a);
}
}

Thanks

Is It Too Difficult?
I dont know whether it is too difficult to get an answer for this post, but I tried posting this question thrice and didn't get an answer. Somebody please help.

I have 5 windows. When I press the minimize button I want the minimized window to go and sit in the corner of the screen. The second window if minimized should sit next to the first minimized window. If I set the screen position for the windows manually, that is On release{ gotoandplay(minimized movie)} then it will sit in the position mentioned and not in the corner. Even if the second window is minimized first it will not sit in the corner by default, it will leave the first window's space and sit next to it. Can somebody tell how the script will work so that whichever window is minimized first it will take the default corner and the next minimized window will take the next available space and so on? www.egomedia.com has this feature which I am talking about.

Thanks.

[F8] Is This Difficult? Please Help
Please excuse my utter ignorance... I'm new to actionscript!

I'm trying to achieve an effect with a transition between pages in scene1 of a single swf file (ie. not loading external swf's), something like this:

http://www.templatemonster.com/flash...tes/10458.html

Let's say I'm on page1 and I want to go to page3. When I press the page 3 button I want to trigger an animation that hides the content of page1, and when the animation finishes I want it to show the contents of the new page (page3 in this scenario).

I don't want it to swap page1 and page3 until the page contents are completly obscured by the animation, but I have no idea of how to do this.

Can anybody help me?

Why Is This Being Difficult?
Hi there,
I have a Flash file that has buttons which link to sub-buttons which point to html pages. Each of the sub-buttons has a mouse over effect. I'm now trying to add three additional sub-buttons. Adding the new text isn't the hard part - however, once they have been added, each of their mouse overs continue to blink, and the button doesn't a link. The same thing happens if I just duplicate one the sub-buttons. The original will work just fine while the new one has the mouse over that lights up in a continuous loop and doesn't point to anything. I've posted an example. I duplicated standard at the bottom. It lights up, fades off, back up, fades off continously. I want it to act like the rest of the buttons. Any ideas? I've also included the actions script since I am pretty sure that is where my problem lies.

Many many thanks,
J

How Difficult Would It Be To Do This?
I want to add a simple jukebox to my site, and I want it to be very similar to the one on this site. Can anyone tell me how difficult it would be to do this. I think it would really be cool for the site.

http://www.teamrival.net/site/main.html

Its at the top of the page, I think it just streams designated mp3's. Just wondering how difficult it would be to create something like this.

Thanks

This Is A Difficult One
Please view what I am attempting to accomplish first so this explanation makes sence.
http://www.ThisislondonClub.com/data...ndon/index.htm

please visit the gallery section and see how the scroll menu works. When you click on a button I want it to load a movie into the frame next to it. I have preloaded a movie clip there so you can see what i mean.
However when I use this menu I found at flash kits it only works to open a new window and load the movie clip into it. Try clicking a button to see the results.
The .fla is attached if you wish to see what i'm working with. I am not stuck with this menu if anyone can suggest a better one but i need it to do one important thing.
I need it to be infinatly expandable with links. Every week I add a new link to it and I don't want to have to go nuts creating new buttons from scratch.

The challenge is on
Thanks

How Difficult Would It Be To Do This?
check this out:

http://tochka.jp/pikapika/img/kavc_01_04.html

It's really cool looking, but it is all done with traditional photography and long exposure times. And although there is a certain appeal to the primitive roots of animation, I wondered if it wouldn't be easy to reproduce something similar (better perhaps) with just a web cam and some Flash filters.

Basically, you could take a video of someone dancing around with a light and using a threshold filter for brightness? you could copy only the brightest pixels to a transparent bitmap image that rested above the movieClip that was playing. This could in effect create the same thing without having to wait for the film to come back and without having to assemble the animation frame by frame.

If someone has some time on their hands and wants to help me code this, let me know. Or if anyone else thinks this is a cool thing to attempt, say it here.

Any input would, as always be sincerely appreciated.

Acc/dec Major Difficult Way
Hi, I hope someone can help me because otherwise im screwed!!!

I need to make a movie clip move to a particular point on the stage, which can change its x axis.

I also need to make the dec / acc / top speed all variables that can be altered later.

sounds easy?

I can manage doing a normal acc/dec thingy, but if the point that needs to be decelerated too is altered, then the velocity needs to be calculated accordingly.

If anyone can help in any way shape or form, Pleeease post as I am really desperate!

Surely This Can't Be THAT Difficult
I'm just putting together a picture viewer where when you click on, say, button 1, the image1 fades in. That's simple enough. But when you click on button 2, image1 fades out while image2 fades in. This is what's giving me trouble. I have an example from Actionscript studio but that involves loading external movies and I don't want to do that. I just must not be grasping the logic on how to do this action yet. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Difficult Preloader
I have a Problem ! I have a main movie called "site"
and i want to load the single movies like "Members"

--> a command from sites.swf that asks the members.swf of the bytesTotal and bytesLoaded !

I am German so dont wonder why my english is sucking

Why Is So Difficult To Hit The Santa?
Hi.

I'm trying to understand the movie from this url:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Game...871/index.shtml

But there is something I don't understand: why is so difficult to hit the santa. I even put the frame rate to 1 per second and I can't hit the santa quickly.

Thank you.

E-skew-ers Me (difficult)
Is it possible to skew a movieclip as a placeholder and load external swfs into it whilst maintaining the original skew.

If so is it possible to animate the skewing and make the external files animate synchroniously with this original skewing animation.

Thanks

This Shouldn't Be That Difficult...I Think
Ok, so I have several movie clips who all share the same tweening of their different child Movie clips.

I want to make one movie clip and attach the child movieclip and have it run through the tweening.

I believe it has something to do with using a blank movie clip in the Timeline and "swapping" it with movieclip1, movieclip2, etc. when appropiate.

I can get the appropiate childmovie into the stage with attachMovie(); but am not getting the "swapping" part in the timeline.

I'm pretty sure I have seen something like this before. I'm new to actionscripting, but not coding so maybe I'm getting some simple concepts messed up.

Any help, would, well, help.

Thanks ~John

Different / Difficult Question Concerning MCs
Is it possible to dynamically change the FRAME LENGHT of a single MC, having no changes made to others.

--- EG. ---
1. FRAME RATE is 20 fps. "_root.content" is 50 FRAMES in LENGTH. "_root.content.MC1" is 30 FRAMES in LENGHT. Is it possible to dynamically change the FRAME LENGTH of "_root.content.MC1" based on a user inpute (for example) from 30 FRAMES to 15 FRAMES but still have the frames intact. ie. If it was a tween lasting 30 FRAMES, it would be the exact same tween (from start to finish) lasting only 15 FRAMES???

--- Any ideas?

REASON: I'm developing an audio player that I would like in incorporate a pitching feature similar to that of a turntable, when mp3's are loaded. I'm just going through possible ways of doing this.

Is There Anything More Difficult Than Sound?
trying to make a flashtrak, like the ones found in the sound loops section. I want it to have a equalizer and a on/off button, but i DON'T want the sound to be loaded from an external swf. I'd really appreciate any help!

This Is A Difficult Problem
there are sites with a replacement of the scrollbar.......you know just two buttons. But i don't need two buttons when you have to click on, but just where you go over them........

FOR EXAMPLE LOOK AT WWW.ALIENANTFARM.COM........

they have the same thing next to their textfield................can anybody help me please??????????????

oh yeah, i'm using macromedia flash MX

Really Difficult Checklist
Please Help@#!#@

I'm making a checklist. The length of the checklist is infinite, but displaying 10 results at one time (charter1 to charter10). When somebody hits one result it has to be added to a total result.
Sample:
X charter1 (id=4)
- charter2 (id=8)
X charter3 (id=10)
- charter4 (id=11)
- charter5 (id=16)
X charter6 (id=19)
etc....

X is when somebody hits the button of that charter.
In this example I need a result like; result=4,10,19
When hitting charter1 again I want the result to turn to result=10,19

There is also a next-page button to go to the next 10 charters.
The problem is that the variables of the next 10 results have the same name (also beginning with charter1...)

The next problem is that I have to make this in Flash4.
I hope my problem is clear and somebody can help me. I'm stuck here.

Greetings,
Jip

How Difficult Is This To Make?
The flash intro for Incoretec. There are a few effects in there that I don't quite understand how they were done. Such as:
-The horizon thing at the beginning
-The glow around the earth when the sun moves behind it
-The ocean to mountain view

How would these be accomplished? Are there any tutorials that would help?

I'm kind of a beginner here, so please bear with me. Thanks in advance.

Rather Difficult Masking
Hey everyone, I have a decent problem that is in need of some expert knowledge. It might not be able to be done concidering what i'm doing but i'll go ahead and tell you.

I have a picture of a regular xbox console, i'm useing flash and fireworks mx to try and mask a design over it. I realize it would be a lot simpler if the xbox was a solid color but I really need the detail of the xbox to show after the design is masked over it, I know I can just put the buttons and other ordanary odd colors on after the fact but i just need to know if it can be done and hopefully a simple way to do it. A really good example is this site called Immersion Graphics corp Notice the different patterns and such which can be masked, i see how they did it but my job has got to be a little more precise. Any help is appreciated and welcome.

thank you,
Brian

Super Difficult ? - I Think So
I reckon this is a bit of a difficult thing to do – so I am after any help going!

What I want to create: is an online night club looping animation (about five mins) to show off my skills as a DJ and animator - this is not the problem – these are:

1.I want the feel of an on going nightclub, so if you go click the link at say the start of the loop then close the movie and then click the link, say about 3 mins later then the animation has progressed by 3 minutes!

2.Now here is the SUPER difficult thing (I think) ideally I want to keep bandwidth to a minimum. Therefore does anyone know if I can do something like this: start an online radio station with some website that will allow me to play my mix continuously looping, then tell the flash movie to play the url where the mix is looping ?

Any ideas ?

Please Help. Shouldn't Be Difficult
I have an external .swf (test.swf) with a movieclip into it called test. In the mainmovie I have created in the targetlayer a movieclip called target_mc. Now I want to load test.swf into this movieclip (target_mc) AND then set the _alpha of movieclip named test (in my loaded movieclip) to 10.

I thought the code is something like this:

code: on(release) {
loadMovie("test.swf",_root.target_mc);
_root.target_mc._alpha=10;
}

This doesn't work. What goes wrong?

Links In XML, Is It Really That Difficult?
I'm desperately trying to figure out, how to make a link in my XML. I've been looking through the XML forum and seen some answers but most of them was made for old flashplayers and some seemed way too difficult. I mean, it's "only" a link.

I've posted in the XML forum, but nothing much is happening there, so I though I'll give it a try here.

All I want to be able to do, is to make a link in a XML tekst, so when people hit the tekst, it'll transfer them to another page. I'm surprised that the solutions I've read are so different from each other. Isn't there a fairly easy method of making links in XML?

How Difficult Would It Be To Create Something Like This?
I'm looking to create a flash widget similar to what WoW has on their main page - http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml

It needs to have images & text that could be called from a php or text file, so that it can be dynamically changed. Movies will also be integrated in the rotation as well for the Flash.

How difficult would this be for someone who's new to flash? How long would it take and what all is needed to learn how to re-create something like this?

Actionscript, Why Is It Being So Difficult...
Hi,

I'm trying to use the following AS to loop through a set of movies for a brochure...doesn't seem to be working. The movieclip I am using is called photo, but it's inside another movieclip called Img - so I tried to do the following at the bottom:

_rooot.Img.photo.swapImages(); - it didn't work though, so I'm not sure what the problem is - it doesn't seem to like the array...

ActionScript Code:
MovieClip.prototype.swapImages = function() {
this._alpha = 0;
var ALPHAend:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 5;
var i:Number = 0;
function loadPic() {
if (i>picArray.length) {
i = 0;
}
this.loadMovie(picArray[i]);
checkIt();
}
loadPic();
function checkIt() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += (ALPHAend-this._alpha)/speed;
if (this.getBytesLoaded()>=this.getBytesTotal()) {
ALPHAend = 100;
}
if (this._alpha>=ALPHAend-2) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
delay = setInterval(nextPic, 1000);
}
};
}
function nextPic() {
ALPHAend = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += (ALPHAend-this._alpha)/speed;
if (this._alpha<=ALPHAend+2) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
i += 1;
loadPic();
}
};
clearInterval(delay);
}
};

//change the images in here to the names of your images
//put them in the order you want them to load
var picArray:Array = ["image0.jpg", "image0.jpg"];

//change my_mc to the name of your movieclip
photo.swapImages();

Cheers,
Chris

Would This Be Difficult To Make?
I'm very interested in designing something like what these guys have on their site:

I'm talking about the Identity, Multimedia, Web, and Print sliding menu thing that the've got going on. I'm not overly versed in ActionScript, and I'm not sure of the complexity that something like this would be.

Any suggestions, tutorials, etc. I could try to be able to do something like this? Thanks,

Adjusting To AS3 - How Difficult Is It?

Difficult Question Regarding MC
Hi. I have create a 3d @ symbol in swift. It will be a simple element that will be added to my contact page. When importing the swift file. I made sure I created a movie clip fist and then pasted the swift file into that. This allowing me to move the 3d @ symbol anywhere with ease.

However I require this to load at a desired time. not a problem.

But I require the movie to loop, ok still not a problem as I can simply add a goto(2); comman in the last keyframe.

But my problem is I require this 3d object to fade in gradually, whilst spinning, but only one time. I have tried to be clever and place some duplicate keyframes, being an addition and placing an object over the top to fade, however this causes problems with the template design I made. Can anyone think of a script that could fade in the object, but only happen once, rather than repeating. otherwise it sux.

thanx all
