Flash :: Do You Remember This Site?

Does Anyone Remember This Site From About A Year Ago?
Hi everyone, I recently lost my bookmarks and can't recall where this site was. Anyways here is a brief decription:

The site was a flash animation and there was a flower I think it was a dandelion and the little white pods were blowing off the flower. After awhile the flower respanned all the little white pods and restarted.

Here is a still of what it kinda looked like...

Can Anyone Remember Where 2advanced Old Site?
Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows a location that shows the old 2advanced website design?!?

Resizing The Stage, Can't Remember The Site...
Okay, it's probably been a year since I saw this website, but it was really cool and I need to find it. The site was kinda pink and it had a big white star in the middle. The cool thing about the site was that when you resized the browser window, it resized the flash movie, but did not scale any of the elements. The site listed a bunch of flash components, similar to what flashcomponents.net does. Does anyone remember the site or where to find the technique for doing that?

Thanks guys, my old age is getting to me...

Cant Remember Flash Class Site?
I cant remember the URL to a site with actionscript class resource.
Had a look in Sen's lists but couldnt find it.

it had a red and grey rocket in the top right corner with the classes and examples listed underneath and something like locos.tweens in the title

can anyone help me out?

I Just Cant Remember Where I Saw That...
hi guys,

hope i am in the correct forum.

i remember seeing a code snippet someplace (yes, yes i should have copied it down) about how to position a movieclip. it was something like

(first frame of clip)
this.level._x=100
this.level._y=100

anyone ever seen this as a method of placing a mc on the stage?
or anyone have a simple way to do it? i can do the mc in a container thing but i want to load several movies in different places and there must be a simpler way than generating several containers!

thanx in advance

Does Anyone Remember This?
Does anyone here remember the example that was on FlashKit a few months ago where there was an html page with a table that had 3 cells. Cell 1 had an swf movie in it, Cell 2 had some instrucions about clicking buttons, and Cell 3 had another swf movie.
What the example was showing was that when you clicked a button in the first swf, it would control an action in the second swf. The second swf could also control the first.
If ANYONE could remember the link to this I would be VERY grateful.
Please help if you can.

Thanks for you time.

Remember Remember
Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a button remember that it has been pressed?

ie: when it's been pressed once and performed it's fuction, it won't do it again if pressed?

Thanks.

Does Anybody Remember...
There was a banner here about a week ago advertising "Robo..something" (can't remember the actual name). It was a software to perform video-type screen captures and export them to swf and it had a link to download a demo.

Does anybody remember the name of that software, or a link to its website.

thanks

Is it possible to add some scripting to a flash movie to do the following:

On the end users first visit the movie asks the user to enter a name, then on every following visit it remembers the name and greets the user with 'good afternoon bob' or something similar.

Does anyone have any script that could do this please?

Remember Name - How?
Hi All
how can I set up my website so that when a new visitor arrives they are asked for their name and then when they return they are greeted with something like "Hi Bob" or whatever their name is?

Anyone know the easiest way this can be done?

Do Any Of You Remember?
I want to load and then play external sound files from a button on flash MX, and maybe with a loading status bar..

im sure i've seen threads about it in the recent past, but i cant find them, and i've used the search function but im not having luck that way, can anyone point me to those threads/tutorials/tell me how to doi it?

Seen This Somewhere - Can Anyone Help Me Remember Where?
It was a Flash application, pretty impressive that allowed you to design every aspect of a business card.

I cant remember where I saw it, I have searched on FK, I dont know if it was an actual company running it or if it was like a concept piece to demonstrate flash???

Anyone know what Im harping on about??

thanks

Anyone Remember?
hey everyone, just wondering if anyone remembers seeing an effect posted on FK in zip format. It was an image burn effect done in flash with some code. I thought it was nevil who posted it but he said it wasnt him. Does anyone remember seeing this effect posted?

thanx

Anyone Remember...
A site that was everywhere a couple of years ago because it used a really clever masking technique between pages? I know it's a long shot but I'm trying to find it with little joy... It kind of used overlapping/zoom/mask when you rolled the mouse over?

Or any others that do a similar thing?

RE: Anyone Remember?
This is in the wrong place, sorry! ....

Hi there.

Try the Levis Site

It has a cool mask feature.

Cant Remember ?
Hi

This is a bit of an odd question but does anyone out there type Actoinscript at 100 words per minute knowing all the code.

Because I have been leaning actionscript now for over one and a half years now and I still have to refer to books for code snippets, is it just me or has the alcohol taken its toll.

Seen A Fla Somewhere, Cant Remember Where......
I remember seeing a fla on one of these clever flash experimentalist sites, but I cannot find it again.

It involved a stream of words zooming towards you from the distance, and you could click them which zoomed you forwards in a slightly different direction, but the words kept coming at you indefinately.

Does anyone know it?

Thanks

Does Anyone Remember This?
I cant really remember how long ago it was, but there was a guy here on the flash forums that was a kick ass RPG game character designer and animater. What he made wasnt really sprites, they were actually his artwork in flash but looked a little like game sprites.
He had a site or at least had his stuff hosted and he had several different game character animations that he had made that was REALLY good. He basically had a character sheet that he made in flash and you would click the character and it would go thru its animations.
I cannot remember his name or his site to save my life. Does anyone remember this guy? I think it was about 2 years ago when I saw his animations.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS..Im going to post this in the art section too because I cant remember if i saw it there or here.

Swf's That Remember?
Hi,

Probably a stupid question but is it possible to get a swf file to remember user imput and then recall it for the next time the swf is reloaded? ie the users name,age,address etc plus a background jpg that could be externally loaded?
This is not for a website however just a standard swf running on a persons machine.

Thanks

Can't Remember
What's the line of code for disabling the mouse cursor (hand) when you move the cursor over a button?

I forgot, and since I'm using MX at work and I have MX 2004 files that do have that line of code in it (that I made from home), I can't take a look.

I Think I Remember...
Flash having features for customizing variables/data of a without actually altering the swf. Flash pulling variables out off of it's html page from within it's object tag?

It was like four years ago or so and I was using flash 5. Am I like hallucinating.... Or was there a .swg format or something?

Getting Flash To Remember
hello, I have a problem using action scripting and menus.
Im pretty new to flash and my programming skills are very
dire so you may even suggest a different way of doing things
but here is my problem:

Im doing a menu system which consists of 10 menu options,
each menu option contains different content, therefore each
of the 10 menu windows which hold the content are different
sizes.

Now ive built a nice little animation for when each of the
windows appear (i.e. spinning & fading in) and when you
click a different menu option, a corresponding animation is
supposed to fade the current window out and then remember
the option you previously just clicked and then jump to
that frame which will then animate that window for the
option you just clicked.

my problem is getting Flash to remember which menu its
currently residing at (so that it can perform the custom
fade out for that particular window) and then goto and
perform the animation for the menu option that I have just
clicked.

all the animations are built, its just a case of getting
Flash to remember what I clicked on, fade the current
window out and then goto the menu which i just clicked on.

Ive tried (in vain) using action scripting on the buttons
and within the movie by using values within variables and
then changing them whenever the frame hits something
different but its just not working.

I hope for my sake that I havent confused you because its
not as hard as it sounds (im just too dumb to know how to
fix it ;-)

If I can be any clearer, please say so.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Help Remember X And Y Coordinates.....
Anyone know how to write actionscript for a mouse down, move and moused release movement where the x & y coordinates on the mouse down are stored in variables x1 and y1.

Then after the mouse is moved while still pressed, the coordinates on the mouse release will be stored in variables x2 and y2.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Get Flash To Remember A Name
Right, I'm working on a presentation that utilises user input. I've searched the boards already and not got anywhere.

The main problem I have is that, once a user has submitted their name, flash can only reference the information within that scene.

I my first scene I have an input box that requests for the user's name - the idea is that throughout their involvement with the presentation, the flash file calls them by whatever name they submit. A simple enough concept, I think you'll agree.

I have the input text box in a movie clip and am calling the information from a dynamic text box elsewhere in the swf. Say the dynamic box that references the submitted text has the var name 'text', my code looks something like this:

Code:
text = "Hello"+_root.mc.name+", how are you today?;

where 'name' is the var name of the input field.

This works fine and dandy for the first scene, but I cannot get it to work once the swf progresses.

Can anyone help?!

Remember My Variable..?
Hey

Simple problem:

STEP 1
=====
I have the following code in a mc (location= _root.mc1)

------------
var = i;
i = 0;
------------

STEP 2
=====

If the user presses the right button, i becomes 1. (at the end, everything should be like a lock to enter the page).

STEP 3
=====

So once the user pressed the right button, and i becomes 1, he can access the page.

In another MC, (that is in a different location) lets say (location = _root.mc2) i want to call that variable "i" again. But Flash doens't remember that "i" now is 1, because it's in a different MC on a different level that "i" became "1".

In the last MC i have something like this to.
-----------
if (i=1) {
_root.mc3.gotoAndPlay("access")
};

did i make myself clear? why flash doesn't remember my variable in another MC..? How can I solve this problem?

Any help is apreciated. Thanks you.

Click Remember
I'm thinking of making a little game and have been looking through the pages here but havnt found an answer to my question(s).

Would the best way to make sure that if you click once and it be remembered be something like this (i'm using some syntax from javascript as well as flash)

boolean clicked = false;

if(!clicked)
{
on (release)
{
(do what I want here)
clicked = true;
}
}

Is this the same for pressing a space bar or a similar key?

What I'm trying to do is create a power meter and accuracy meter that scroll from some lower bound to upper bound: like bowling:

any tips on how to do that? thanks

Remember Me Checkbox
I have read millions of coding on SharedObject- acting as cookies but I really dont understand how it works..

Basically what I want is being able to have a text input along with option to remember(checkbox checked) what user typed in when they return to the same page. I also want that to hav ethe ability to change it again later on. If unchecked, then it will not remember what the user typed in.

HELPPPPP!!! Thanks

Remember Last Settings
This is my first entry. I need help figuring out this flash. I made a flash with a picture and sound and actionscript. I used a script already built and editted it a little to suit. The volume slider wont remember the last setting. I guess becasue it loops and starts over frame one. I want it to loop I just want it to remember the moved slider setting the next time it loops.

heres the code:

play();
bgSound = new Sound(this);
bgSound.attachSound("sound1");
bgSound.start(0, 50);
playB.enabled=false;
slider.slideBar._y = -25;
slider.slideBar.onEnterFrame = function() {
bgSound.setVolume(0-this._y);
};
slider.slideBar.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this, false, this._x, -65, this._x, 0);
slider.slideBar.position = last ();

};
slider.slideBar.onRelease = slider.slideBar.onReleaseOutside=function () {
stopDrag();

};
stopB.onRelease = function() {
bgSound.stop();
playB.enabled=true;
stopB.enabled=false;
stop();

};
playB.onRelease = function() {
bgSound.start(0, 99);
playB.enabled=false;
stopB.enabled=true;
gotoAndPlay(0);

};
stop();
nextFrame();
play();

the last frame (50) has stopAllSounds();
if not the sound loops and increses.

Thanks for the help.

Easy, But Can't Remember How
I want to draw a line with the pen, or select a part of a line, but with sharp ends, not rounded. I know I've done it before but can't figure how. Help please.

Can't Remember What Its Called...
when a mc is completley overlapping another mc in a hit test...

Remember I From Loop
Didn't know what title to write for my problem.

I am little confused, better look at the code:

ActionScript Code:
function buildthumbs(){
for (i=0; i<total_images; i++){
_root.attachMovie("thumbmc", "thumbmc"+i, i);
_root["thumbmc"+i].id = i;
_root["thumbmc"+i].btn.onRelease = function(){
trace(_root["thumbmc"+i].id);
}
mcLoader_tn.loadClip(image_thumb[i], _root["thumbmc"+i].thumbcont);
}
}

The thing is when the button gets clicked of course the i is always the last image number and not the one which was in a loop. For one thing I asigned variable id inside thumbmc itself, but how can I make it outside. For example when thumbmc3.btn gets clicked then it traces _root.thumbmc3.id

Remember Where You Dropped It?
I want to make an object that you can move freely over the screen by drag and drop......
But when you have (for example) put it from de upper right corner to the lower left. Then you shut down the site and come back a day later....the object is still where you left it the day before. Is this possible?

Remember A Variable?
I have a navigation that contains main buttons with sub buttons under each. On each sub button I have this to load my external swf's. The navigation is loaded into level100. Check it out here http://www.gregory.se/flash.html

Code:
_level0.mcl.loadClip ("main"+_root.num+"/sub"+itemnum+".swf", 50);
The _root.num and the itemnum are the variables that change depending on what I've clicked in my menu system.

In my sub swf's I have to manually declare these variables (the same numbers as the one above) cause I don't know how to get them from that swf to this? I need them to be able to load the correct xml file.

Code:
var main:Number = 1;
var sub:Number = 1;
myXML.load("main"+main+"/xml/sub"+sub+".xml")

[F8 AS2] Remember Y Position
ok, i am attaching 6 pictures off stage dynamically using setInterval as a loop (so it will attach the clips once every x seconds). I'm positioning them in a line vertically, and then tweening them onto the stage with mc_tween2.

Once the pics are in final position, the goal is this:
1.click on any pic and it will grow larger and position itself towards the center of the stage

2.click another pic and the last pic will shrink to original size and go back to it's original place.

#2 is where I'm having the problem. I've got the enlarging and repositioning working, and i can get the last pic to move back, but it won't go to the right place. In every variation i try, it either goes to the first position in the vertical stack, or the last position. The closest i can get to what i want is to swap the last clicked picture with the position of each picture as you click on them.

basically how can i get Flash to remember the location of each pic, so when i click another pic, the last selected one will go back to it's original place?

I would post some code, but it's so messed up right now because i've been through so many variations... I'm just looking for the basic concept if anybody can help..

Thanks

I Can't Remember The Code..
Well I know there is a simple line for easing effects, something like mx.transition(......;.....).

But I can't really remember, so do any of you lot know what this line is?

New To AS3, Remember LastBtn?
I'm new to AS3 and I need to know how to remember the last button that was clicked. I am currently attaching an mc to the stage from the library x:Number of times depending on how many nodes I have in my xml. I then set the name of the buttons: setBtn.name = "setBtn"+j; which works great.

Here is my AS3 code:

Code:
var totalBtns:int;
var btnName:Array = [];
var lastBtn = "setBtn0"; //trying to set the first lastBtn - doesn't work...

function loadXML(e:Event):void {
var xml:XML = new XML(loader.data);
totalBtns = xml.item.length();
for(var j=0; j<totalBtns; j++) {
btnName[j] = xml.item[j].@title;
var setBtn:SetBtn = new SetBtn();
addChild(setBtn);
setBtn.x = 644;
setBtn.y = 81+setBtn.height*j;
setBtn.setBtnText.setText.text = btnName[j];
setBtn.name = "setBtn"+j;
Xbtn.basic(setBtn); //custom btn class to mimic AS2 button code
var sbtn = getChildByName("setBtn"+j);
sbtn.useHandCursor = true; //this doesn't work either. weird...
sbtn.xRollOver = function() {
if(this.currentFrame != 7) { // detects if the sbtn is on the "hitstate"
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
}
sbtn.xRollOut = function() {
if(this.currentFrame != 7) {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
sbtn.xRelease = function() {
parent.getChildByName(lastBtn);
lastBtn.gotoAndStop(1); // doesn't work...
this.gotoAndStop(7);
lastBtn = this.name;
}
}
}
I pretty sure it's something simple. The new ways of dealing with variables is messing me up.

My AS2 code (that works...) looks like so:

Code:
btn.onRelease = function() {
lastBtn.gotoAndStop(1);
this.gotoAndStop(7);
lastBtn = this;
}
Please help! I've tried everything and I can't get anything to work...

Thanks!

How To - Remember Last Loaded Swf
I want to add some unload function to my master swf, which will obviously unload any external swf already loaded into it, when I click a link to load another external swf...

Here's my unload function:

Code:

function unloadFunction(evt:Event):void
{
Loader(evt.target).unload();
}
FYI, here's how I load my external swfs into my master swf.

Code:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickButton);

function clickButton(e:MouseEvent):void {
switch (e.target) {
case this.b1 :
loadVideo(new URLRequest(extSWF[0]));
break;
case this.b2 :
loadVideo(new URLRequest(extSWF[1]));
break;
// etc.
}

function loadVideo(myrequest:URLRequest):void {
var myloader:Loader=new Loader();
myloader.addEventListener("UnloadMe", unloadFunction);
myloader.load(myrequest);
addChild(myloader);

}
Additionally, those external swfs each feature a "close" button that unloads them when clicked... But of course, I am trying to consider the good portion of visitors who would not bother clicking that link before viewing another content... anyways, here below is the code applied to that button:

Code:

closebutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadFunction);

function unloadFunction(event:MouseEvent) {
dispatchEvent(new Event("UnloadMe", true));
}

function kill():void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadFunction);
}

Remember When Visited?
Hey there,
I have a quick question.

I have a series of buttons, and I want the button to be different and stay different after a user has visited that section... for instance, 5 sections, 5 buttons, when they visit one of the sections, the button to that section becomes slightly darker.

Can anyone explain to me how I could achieve this? Thank you!

Hey Does Anyone Remember GABOCORP?
Back in the dizaY when I was first learning about flash, when it was at version 3 or maybe less, my teacher at RISD showed me a famous flash site by a guy named Gabo Mendoza.

Does this bring up any memories for any body??

Just curious.

I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT CANT REMEMBER HOW.. ANY GENIUSES WANNA TELL ME HOW =)
ok, I have a text file with this:

&counter=1

i want for the flash (standalone) to add + 1 to the variable and then re-save it to the TXT file.. without using any php or anything.. i did it in flash last time, and have NO idea how.. and ideas?

(i just need to know how to change and save external variables from flash) (prefeered not using exec.. dont think i did last time)
