How Do I Replace Pics In My Flash Template With My Own Pics?
Hi there! Ok, I've got this flash menu bar set up. The problem I've got is the fact that it's a template, and I'm not sure how to change those 4 little pictures of those male models at the bottom of the flash area. The ones that are spinning around every few seconds.

How do I set it so that it uses the pics I want, instead of those pics? I've figured out how to add the pics to the library, but it only adds them as bitmaps, and I don't know how to make them "graphics" and how to replace the current pics with them...

Can someone give me some advice on how to do this? I'm probably ging to need some pretty detailed help too... SOrry. I'm just really new to flash. I've read some tut's, but theyre not too helpful for what I want to do...

Thanks guys. My AIM is NoahPsych is anyone cares enough to help me by IMing me. That'd probably be best!

Thanks again!

Dynamic Loading Pics And Variables?how To Change Pics Depending On Buttons Or Text
i want to load jpegs into a swf dynamically. I saw a post confirming u can do it w/load movie script. Heres my question:

first off: in the folder w/my movie, i have jpegs labeled

Should Be Simple But I'm Not Gettin It. HELP
Basically,

I have a button that I would like to be able to click and have it play the movie clip and stop on a designated frame but, the catch is I need to do this without putting a stop action on the frame in the timeline itself.

ie. on (press) {this.playAndStop(13);
}
of course the above doesn't work.

{gotoAndStop() doesn't help me as it jumps to and stops on the frame. I want the movie to play through and then stop on frame.

What should I do?

Thanks

Gettin' Rid Of BlurFilter
this is the code i used:


ActionScript Code:
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;var Blur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(5, 5, 3);var unBlur:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(0, 0, 0);greenbtn.onPress = function() { greenbg.filters = [blur];};greenbtn2.onPress = function() { greenbg.filters = [unBlur];};


problem is, when i unblur it, the whole movie felt laggy, i think it's because the blur effect stays within the greenbg.

i thnk i'm sorta like faking it by using the AS above, how do i just get rid of the blur effect?

any ideas?

Help Gettin' Me Buttons Up...
Hi -
I have a dynamic background - movie clips with elasticity. On top of them are buttons, each having a white box and some descriptive text in the 'Over' state of the btn. Even though the clips are only taking depths 0-5, I can't get these buttons over them. [No swapDepths() for btns., eh?]

Currently, the text only shows subliminally, depending on where the clip's bouncing...

Too new to keep trying,

Gettin My Ass Kicked By A Preloader
Ugh. I'm having a hell of a time with a simple preloader.

I have a scene made for the preloader.

Frame 1:

stop ();
ifFrameLoaded ("Logging On", "logon4") {
nextScene ();
}
gotoAndPlay (2);

Frame 2:

gotoAndPlay (1);

This should work, right? The problem is that when this script is in the movie, I get a "THERE IS A SCRIPT IN THIS MOVIE CAUSING FLASH TO RUN SLOWLY. IF YOU LET IT RUN, YOUR COMPUTER MAY BECOME UNRESPONSIVE. ABORT?"

So, I apparently made some nasty loop, but for the life of me, I can't see what the problem is.

I'm sure it is something obvious...I just don't see it.

Thanks.

Gettin Variable From Txt Into DuplicatedMovieClip
hi,
I got a variable out of a txt file and I was able to pass it to a duplicated movie clip, but now i want to pass for each movieclip a different variable. In the txt-file they're called a1,a2,a3 and so on. And here's my problem:
when I duplicate the movieclip I count up a variable 'x' which is at first equal to 1. Then I want to pass it by using:

Code:
tellTarget ("mc"+x) { mcvariable = /:a[x]; }

but this doesn't work.
So can anyone help me please?

Gettin' Crafty With The Buttons
i am building a gallery site. in each section i have a row of buttons ( wide and only a few pixels tall, close together ). i have an invisible button controlling a MC that plays a roll over movie and a roll out movie. i am setting a variable when you mouse over the button so that it refers to the specific movies realted to that button. i am doing this to try and avoid making like 80 separate buttons. the problem is this; if you mouse over the movies slowly, then its all fine, the nice over movie and roll out movie play and i get the effect i am looking for, but if you move too fast, the buttons get stuck, i guess if flips the variable over to the next movie and leaves the previous one hanging. should i just make separate buttons for each item, or is this doable the way i am trying...

Gettin' A Variable Out Of A Function?
MX 2004, this is living on the first frame of the top layer.

I need to pass the _root.sku variable to a dymnamic text box (it has it's var set to _root.sku) That part works fine. The problem is getting the _root.dms1 variable set from the (ext.target.selectedItem.data) value. I get an 'undefined' out of the dms1 and 2 variables. I'm trying to set this value inside a function. The function is pulling the values out of some combobox's (which by the way I finally got working.....)
Any thoughts on how to set this dms1 variable so it can be used elsewhere? Thanks

<snip>

_root.sku = "636" + _root.dms1 + _root.dms2;

listener = new Object()
listener.change = function(evt){
loadMovieNum("http://somewebsite.com/flash/636/" + evt.target.selectedItem.data + ".swf",2);
trace(evt.target.selectedItem.data);

//here's were I'm trying to set the variable

_root.dms1 = (evt.target.selectedItem.data);
}
outerCombo.addEventListener("change", listener)

Problem Gettin Data From MultiArray Into MC
Why doesnt this code work. Ive got 6 objects on the stage named object_0..object_5.
I want to init these objects with data from a multidim.array. The array is an array of strings, representing different data.

CODE:
for (i=0; i<post_array.length; i++) {
path=eval("object_"+i);
_root.path.Label.txtOut=_root.post_array[i][3];
}

stop ();

Strange is that this works:
_root.path.Label.txtOut="hello";

Arrays: Gettin Jiggy With The Multi-Ds
Heres the deal I have a multi-dimensional array that has the info about every menu on my whole site in it, Id post it, buts its quite big.

To the problem: I am attaching MCs by eval-ing elements of the array in an attachMovie call. Can you tell me if you see anything wrong here?


Code:
// ATTACH MOVIE ACCORDING TO ARRAY PARAMETERS
attachMovie(eval(_root.screenArray[s][m][0]), eval(_root.screenArray[s][m][5]), m);

// POSITION ATTACHED MOVIE ON THE SCREEN
_root.screenArray[s][m][5]._x = _root.screenArray[s][m][8];
_root.screenArray[s][m][5]._y = _root.screenArray[s][m][9];
For your info: When the user hits the button to go to the second screen, it sets s in this MC to 1, then this clip, with the other frames I havent included loops through this script till all elements are loaded. m is the menu number, which starts at 0.

the third array element has the menu attributes in it. For your info ill list the ones accessed in the code. They are: 0 is library linkage, 5 is the menu title, 8 is the x position, and 9 the y position.

Thanks,

Gettin The Movie Clip Not To Loop
Im currently using flash mx and im tryin to make a part of my website that has like a picture gallery. The way that i've conceived of doing this is to just make a button with the picture and then when the mouse goes over it, it loads a movie clip in which it enlarges the image. The only problem i forsee is that the movie clip will loop causing the image to constantly revert back to it's small form and then enlarge again. Does anyone know any code i can add to help me with this? Thanks a lot...

Gettin Values From Previous Frame
Lets say i have a moving mc, and i want to compare it's _x value in the current frame to it's _x value in the previous frame, is there a way to do it?

.JPG-to-Flash Pics?
A friend of mine that knows a great deal more about flash than I, informed me that there was a way to edit a .jpg to make it look like it was drawn in flash.

He told me how he found a picture of a real dog, imported the pic, and somehow altered it with a simple comand to make it look as though it was a cartoon-like dog. I was wondering where this command is. Any help would be appriciated.

AS Problems With Gettin Bullets To Work Properly
Hi
I've been trying to figure out a problem with AS for hours now, and I come here for help. I've got a mouse controlled person who fires circle bullets up towards oncoming enemies. but since i duplicated them, only the first bullet fired works as it is the only one that has the right instance name.
What I mean is :
The bullet is instanced bullet
When it is duplicated to be fired, it changes to bullet1,bullet2 ect etc
The hittest script on the enemies only reconize bullet, and therefore ignores all other shots except the first
is there anyway of making it so it reconises all shots?
your help will be much appreciated

Loading Pics Outside Flash 5
Is it possible to get your flash movie to load pictures outside of flash, in order to cut down on the size of the movie?

For example, I want to show a huge amount of pictures, and instead of importing every picture into a movie, it loads it from outside, and you can cycle through them in order?

I believe you would use a getURL on this, but I'm not 100% sure.

Sorry, this is lame but I'm just starting.

I have a template with a flash header. I want to change the pictures that came with the template to my own. I'm in the library in flash and I double click on the first pic I want to replace. I figure I'll just click on the jpg of my own to replace it.

Nope.

It's asking for a bitmap, and when I go to the folder where all my new pics are, nothing comes up as available. I also don't know if I should be "updating" or "importing". Either way, nothing comes up as an available change.

I've also noticed that the picture I want to replace isn't even in the image folder along with the main picture in the source flash. This doesn't make sense to me either, but nothing seems to be very common sensical with this program.

Is that enough info for someone to help me? Please?

I am a complete novice with Flash, but I just need to know if it can be done as I have been given some fla files which need to link to jpegs.

Any help greatly appreciated

Dynamic News With Pics Using PHP And Flash
Hello fellow Flashers,

ive been busting my brain trying to figure out this problem and i hope someone out there can help me. if all goes well, i will submit this in the tutorials section.

I want to show information from my mysql database into a Flash MX movie using PHP. ok, i got that down somewhat. The problem is loading the picture. in my database, i have the path to the picture. whenever flash tries to load the info for the pictures , something happens with the first picture....either that or all the pictures are "pushed back".

The text loads fine. In my example i have 7 entries in my news database: 7x headlines, 7x news text, and 6x pictures (the first one to be shown is not supposed to have a picture but all the others do). each entry is shown one at a time and you have to press on the up and down buttons to scroll between each entry.

here is my example that i have on the server...

the first picture, ok...there is no picture for that first entry. next...

the second picture...its supposed to be a picture of a blue swirl (but nothing comes up)

the third picture...its supposed to be of someone sitting infront of a computer (but the blue swirl comes up).

the fourth picture...its supposed to be of an atlas (but the persong sitting infront of the comp comes up).

the fifth picture...supposed to be a room full of people walking around (but its the atlas picture).

the sixth picture..supposed to be a hand holding a euro coin (but its the room full of people pic).

and the seventh picture..supposed to be of 4 or 5 people sitting in a small conference(view from above) (but its the hand holding the euro).

the pic of the people in the conference comes up when you press on the up button (going back towards the beginning of the list). see what i mean about all the pictures being pushed back? and i cant figure out WHY thats happening.


here is the fla file

if you need more info, just ask.

please help!
