Actionscripts Tutorial Not Working For Amfphp
So I'm delving back into amfphp, and I'm reading the actionscript tuttorial buy Jesse Stratfiord.

I've downloaded the test files from the tutorial, and when I test talk.fla, I only get the folowing in my trace window:


PHP Code:



Calling returnString
Calling returnNumber
Calling returnArray 




when I should get the following

PHP Code:

Got result "[object Object]" of type object which contained the following:
result: Your Object contained the value bar 





What do you think the problem is?

Flash 8 Tutorial Needed
Ok, heres the deal.

There's a community project happening on a message board that I am a regular at, and a sort of birthday card is being made for a member. People can come and contribute art and stuff to go on this big picture, and it was suggested that writers should be able to contribute their stuff too. But of course, writers can't just throw their pieces all over this picture. I thought that I could contribute by turning this picture into an interactive flash thingy, and put little bits of paper over the room and make them clickable so you can zoom in and read them.

I have Flash 8, but really, I don't know the first thing about it. So lets just say I'd have the main image, and probably the wee bits of paper in separate layers.

Where would I go from here?

Flash Tutorial Needed
hey guys,

need some help.

If you check out:


Code:
www.eliteclubbing.com
You will see a a scrolling GIF under the Newsletter heading. But as you can see from this the animation is quite poor plus I would like it to loop without any jumps or pauses that you get with GIF.

I was just wandering if there any tutorials I can look?!

Never really used Flash so be gentle!

Thanks

Flash 8 Mp3 Tutorial Help Needed
So this is the code i copied from the video


Code:

// Setup sound object
var s:Sound= new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete=playSong;
s.setVolume(75);

// Array of songs
var sa:Array=new Array();

// Currently playing song
var cps:Number =-1;

// Load the songs XML
var xml:XML= new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite= true;
xml.onLoad= function()
{
  var nodes:Array= this.firstChild.childNodes;
  for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
  {
    sa.push(nodes[i].attributes.url);
  }
  playSong();
}

xml.load("songs.xml");

// Play the mp3 File
function playSong():Void
{
  if(cps==sa.length- 1)
  {
    cps= 0;
   s.loadSound(sa[cps].true);
  }   
  else
  {
    s.loadSound(sa[++cps]. true);
  }
}

But i get

Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Desktop/Mp3%20Player%201/undefined"
Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Desktop/Mp3%20Player%201/songs.xml"

when i try to run it,
So i tried this

Code:

// create a Sound object
var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
// when a song is finished call playbeat function
mySound.onSoundComplete = playbeat;
// set initial volume to 75%
mySound.setVolume(75);

// create array of all beats..
var beatArray:Array = new Array();
// counter to current beat.
var nowBeat:Number = -1;
// create xml object
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
// load xml
xml.onLoad = function(){
   var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
   // iterate through array - push into beatArray
   for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++){
   beatArray.push(nodes[i].attributes.url);   
   }   
   playbeat();
}

// tell it to load in xml file
xml.load("songs.xml");
// play beats
function playbeat(){
// check which song is playing
// if at end, play first one
if(   nowBeat == beatArray.length-1){
   nowBeat = 0;
   mySound.loadSound(beatArray[nowBeat], true);
}
else {
mySound.loadSound(beatArray[++nowBeat], true);   
}

}
And it worked fine, but i need the original code i tried to work as it relates
to the second part of the tutorial

If anyone could help me out i would apreciate it

Thanks

Tutorial Needed, Complex Button In Flash MX
I need to create a button that will only activate at a certain time, here is the scenario...

Say for example you have a ten frame animation that is looping round and round. In this animation there is a button saying 'onMouseDown goto Frame 11'. Everything is fine so far, but if someone clicks on the button in the middle of the animation, say on frame 4, there will be a jump between frame 4 and 11. I want to know if there is a way of telling the button to goto frame 11, but not before it has gone to the end of the loop at frame 10.

Thanks for your help,

Bit Of Advice Needed For Tutorial @Using XML In Flash CS3/AS3"
on the following Link http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flas...ml_as3_pg6.htm
in the section Filtering Attribute Information

Kirupa takes you through filtering by the ISBN number, these results include the XML tags as well could anybody advise me how i would eliminate them in this section:

function ParseBooks(bookInput:XML):void {
trace("XML Output");
trace("------------------------");

var authorList:XMLList = bookInput.Book.(@ISBN == "0743203178");
trace(authorList);
}

i beleive its using the .text(); function but i can't find where to put it.

also, in order to load this information into a dynamic text box do i just replace trace with the destination of my text box?

Thanks

[Flash][Tutorial Needed] How To Record Sound In Flash?
Hey guys/girls!

I want to make a new project! At the moment I play a lot on my gituar, someone said that I should make a website where I can "show" my songs etc.

But here is the problem : How do I do that!

I've been searching on google and found that it is possible to make a Flash App that can record/play sound, but I cant find any tutorial about it (or some explanation).

I also need some explanation about "Flash Communication Server", is that something like a "Apache" server but then for sound?

Help Examples Of How To Use Actionscripts In Flash
Greetings.

I just started on a little assignment regarding actionscripts in flash. Sadly for me i cant even call myself a beginner. I have been looking around various sites trying to find help on how to get started. However the world of actionscripts seems to be bigger then i expected.

Either way im hoping some of you have the spare time to get me on the right path. As the topic says i need to make examples of how to use actionscripts in flash. If anyone have any good ideas/links/guides on something i could get started on, i would be over the moon. The more simple it can get, the better. Using and explaining a little bit of code is the important thing, unlike making something big and complicated.

Im sorry if you have seen anything idiotic like this a billion times on here before, posting the wrong place or explaining myself like a monkey. Im just having a hard time figuring out how and where to get started.

Regards Troels

Basic Actionscripts For A Flash Site?
hey..

i'm trying to make my design work for a flash site, and i came accross this guys tutorial for putting together something basic using the loadMovie script and an empty movie clip that loads ext. swfs. i thought it was pretty rad because i don't know actionscript, but i definately got that.

what i'm looking for is suggestions for other script that would be particularly useful in putting together a flash site.

i know this is very general, but if i could get the names of some scripts commonly used in site-building that i could read up on.

thanks.

How Do I Use Flash MX To Directly Edit Actionscripts In An Swf File?
After creating several swf files using flash MX for my website, and after testing them I found a few errors in the action script in one of the files, is there a way that I can directly edit the swf file's actionscript using flash MX?

I tried importing the swf file into flash MX, but I can't find where the list of actionscripts are, that I created, the preview pane shows the first scene, but there's nothing in the action pane, even when I step through the frames, there's still no actions listed.

What I'm looking for is a list, something like:-

-frame1
action
-frame2
action
etc, etc

and by double clicking on the required action, a type of text editor opens, allowing the script to be edited, then compiled back into the original swf file.

I can use swf decompiler and view the scripts as a list, but the decompiler doesn't allow editing.

Secret Actionscripts In Flash (eg: Right Click Detect Sorted...)
Hey All,

ok, i saw on this forum or were-here that there was a method to check for a right click. this is not my code and i don't take credit... i don't know who's it is actually...

so basically, you'd make a prototype:


Code:
Mouse.isDown = function(click) {
// click = 1(detects left) or 2(detects right)
var click;
return asNative(800,2)(click);
}


ok... so then instead of making a messy set of clip event statements, you can say:


Code:
onClipEvent(mouseMove) {
if (mouse.isDown(1)) {
trace("you're dragging the mouse");
}
}


Ok now if you've followed all that (and if you've also read the huge post on prototypes in were-here), here's the question...

ok so what the hell is the "asNative" and more importantly ... are there any other built in function that anyone knows of that Macromedia hasn't told us about?

How To Fire Tutorial Help Needed
Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forums!

I'm having an issue with the 'How to Fire' tutorial on Kirupa. I have quadruple checked my syntax and all that but I can't find the reason for the problem.

The movement/fire actions are on the plane, the bullet actions are well..... on the bullet!

I'm attempting to do a moving mask. I have got a mask and a masked layer. I have got the mask layer to move. Everything is good, and it even plays, but when I go to test all I get is a totally blank screen. Why is that?

Help Executing A Tutorial Needed
I've been trying to follow this tutorial (http://www.lashf.com/page/basic/running_circles_effect), but as I'm new to Flash I'm having some problems. I think it's because in action script 3 you can't ad an actionscript to a movieclip? Is this correct? and if so how do I get around that?
I've figured out how to get the circle to move and fade, it's just the rest of it that doesn't seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated. (I have Flash CS3)

Text Tutorial Or Code Needed
Hey.

Ok, Im totally new at this. I have been learning flash MX for a few months now, and I have just enough skill to make a basic site with multiple scenes, and Buttons that play Mp3's, etc.

I am also familiar with all the basic tweens, and animation tacktics

Anyway. I want to create a text effect, where my text is written 'live' onto the screen, ala Matrix (lol). Example:: I am after the basic effect that you would get from using Flashtyper, if it worked

Can anyone point me to s script for this, or a basic tutorial that can help me??

All the tutorials I have found so far are either for flash 4 or are way over my head..

Any help offered is appreciated more than you know

Movement Element Tutorial Needed
i need to know how to make a person jump, come back down, move left and right, make borders and do stuff like punch and shoot

Specific Effect Tip/Tutorial Needed
Okay, in addition to my Quest to Learn PHP, I also am thinking of incorporating a little FLASH into my website. Nothing over the top, but something to give it that extra little something special.

Okay, here is the effect I am wanting to know how to create. Go to TEMPLATES-PLUS and look up Template 3926.


Look at the example.


The effect I am wanting to know how to do is that image transition that looks like a set of horizontal blinds transitioning to the next image.
Of course, I would want to set a series of images (and be able to change it at will).


Any thoughts, suggestions, advice ???


THANK YOU !!!!
