Flash :: Have A Couple Of Questions.

A Couple Of Questions ...
Okay ... I am currently working on an iResume of some of my work. I have a couple of quick questions to see if anyone may know an answer:
1) Is there a relative path that would be equivalent to the %SYSTEMROOT% (C:windows on 9x & C:winnt on NT or even whatever the user chose to name it). I want to store some variables (nothin' big a couple of true/false switches so you see something different all the time) on the local machine because I'm shipping a CD, I can't store them on the CD (hence read-only memory).
2) I also want to add a little remote control style panel that will always float at the top right (or top left whichever is easier) of the screen (I'm using the FullScreen FSCommand) no matter what the resolution is. Anybody know how to do this.

Also, I'm almost positive there is no way to do this, but I'll ask. Is there any way to get rid of the right click menu. I want to use keyboard navigation (mouse.hide) and if they accidently right click even though there's no mouse they'll get a little popup menu. Not to worry I'm giving Macromedia credit and everything, I just want to remove that if I can.
Thanks for any answer's I can get.

Just A Couple Of Questions......
ok...

1) so i've been checking out some flash sites, and noticed that when you go to enter some, a pop up window opens, that fills the whole screen, and acts as a browser for the site you are entering...
I was wondering how you create this?
(if you know what i'm on about!)
I mean, how do you create the pop-up browser, that will fill the whole screen, that will display the contents of your site?

2) is there an action script that detects the size of the screen of the viewer, so that whatever resolution they have it set at, my pop-up browser window will fill their screen?

3) i'm thinking of trying to create a game as the intro for my site, or as the preloader for the intro...
any links to tutorials, as a starting point for getting into game design using flash???
i know this is the wrong forum for that but...

cheers guys and gals....

Couple Of Questions...
Okay, I have a couple of questions because I'm making a site for company, but some things don't work
- I want to create the site for people with a 800x600 or a 1024x768 resolution. I created the site with a stage of 800x600. When I publish the site, in 1024x768 the icons will get out of shape and when I view it in 800x600 some text aren't readable. I'm publishing the site with a component which removes the border around the Flash movie.
- When I work in Photoshop I can add a vector-mask to a layer, then take the gradient tool and make a sort of 'fade-in'effect (the picture becomes more visible through the stage). The problem is; when I use a .esp in Photoshop and then add this effect; I can't copy->paste in into Flash. Is there a way to export this vector shape (with the effect) to Flash? Or a way to do this effect in Flash?
- Last question; I also want to have a news-section on the website. So I decided to load a textfile in, because this is easy to eadit by the company. Everything works fine when I look at it in the .swf, but when the .swf gets loaded into the main-movie; I only give me this: "_level0.LoadMC.text.text" What does this mean, and how can I solve it?

I hope I can get a anser to all these question... I posted here because my experience with Flashkit is that you get a really quick (and usefull) anser

Couple Of Questions
Hello,
I have been away from Flash for a couple of years and need some
help. I am using Flash4. I am combining a interactive story and
flash. The user will be on a quest. He/She gets a box, but can only
open it at a certain time (certain scene) If he tries to open it
before this time, he is taken to a scene that says "It can be
dangerous to open this box before the right time." Is there a way
when the player tries to open the box the third time that the game
is ended? I am not that familiar with how you would do this with
changing scenes/frames and all.
Second question: In this story, the player will opening things,
pulling things, etc. Is it possible that the cursor can be a
hand?
Thanks for any help.
If there are any questions to clarify my question, it may be awhile
before I get back. I seem to be at work more than at home.
Bill

Couple Of Questions....
I'm reading a book on AS and have come across a couple of questions. One is, that when do you use "var" and when don't you? I've seen variables introduced like....

onClipEvent(load) {
var myTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
}

But I've also seen...

onClipEvent(load) {
currentTime = new Date();
myHour = currentTime.getHours();
myMin = currentTime.getMinutes();
mySec = currentTime.getSeconds();
}

In both cases, the variables myTotal, currentTime, myHour, myMin, and mySec are being introduced for the first time. So why don't they all start off using "var"?

The next question is prolly a VERY minor one. Usually the first line of the script starts off with something using parentheses and then a curly bracket. Like this....

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

But I've also seen the same thing written as....

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

The first has a space between the end parentheses and beginning curly bracket, the second doesn't. Does it matter? When do you and when don't you? Thanks in advance for any help!

Couple Of Questions
Here's what I'm trying to do:

I want to use the file below and place it inside a movie clip I created. I went through the code but can't seem to make it work properly. It works fine on the main stage but not inside the movie clip. Why is that?

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Anima...-402/index.php

Also, when I try to implement a text scroller found from this site and use a pixel font set on dynamic text, why does the text disappear when I publish the swf file? Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

A Couple Of Questions
1) How do I make Dynamic Text...More Static-looking...and less ugly.

2) How do I make it so a movie clip can only move over only another movie clip.
Example: I am making a movie with a stick figure...I want him to ONLY be able to move over the grass, not trees or buildings or anything...Is there anyway to do this without going through all the other movie clips and manually making them Un-walk-through-able.

Answer one or both...Or whatever. I just need help.

A Couple Of Big Questions.
I'm building my first game right now, sorta based off of the Dave Doull arcade game tutorial but trying to use that as a base and go a little crazy. At the end of the game I want to have a continue selection screen. I have an arrow that I want to move between two bitmaps "Yes" and "No". I tried this AS but I couldn't get it to work. Any ideas?

This code is a restartArrow MC in a layer name "restart". After hit collision is detected therefore killing blowing up the ship the actionscript in the HitTest if loop is this:

if (this.hitTest( _root.spaceship ) ){
_root.gotoAndStop ( "restart" );

onClipEvent(load){
arrowPos=1;
upperLimit=2;
lowerLimit=1;
jumpingSize=30;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) and (arrowPos<upperLimit)){
this._y-=jumpingSize;
arrowPos++;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) and (arrowPos<upperLimit)){
this._y-=jumpingSize;
arrowPos++;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) and (arrowPos>lowerLimit)){
this._y+=jumpingSize;
arrowPos--;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) and (arrowPos>lowerLimit)){
this._y+=jumpingSize;
arrowPos--;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER) and (arrowPos<upperLimit)){
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER) and (arrowPos>lowerLimit)){
stop();
}
}

Let me know why the arrow will not move when i hit up or down. Nor can I hit enter and restart. Should I make the second Key.ENTER if statement point to another frame instead of saying stop(); ?

Last question, the game works on scrolling horizontally, however right now the ground image i have right now just loops endlessy. I want the background to change after a certain amount of time (or distance traveled) how can I approach this?

Thanks for any help guys.

EDIT: I forgot something else I've been struggling to make work. I wanted the ship to look like it was rotating up to climb and rotate down to decend. I got it to do it but I want the animation to look smoother rather than snap back. I have a bunch of sprties for the motion but it seems like only one frame is playing here is the code:

if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
this._y+=moveSpeed;

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
this._y-=moveSpeed;

}

}

onClipEvent (keyUp) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
scrollStart=false;
}
if (Key.getCode() == Key.UP) {
gotoAndPlay(6);}
if (Key.getCode() == Key.DOWN) {
gotoAndPlay(8);}

}

So for these things to work what I did is have 3 sprites for the directional movement (UP & DOWN) to make it a gradual turn rather than snap and I thought that by putting code in I.E. frame 5 of the spaceship MC to tell it to stop after playing 3 and 4. Is this right? or is it only playing the final frame.

Thanks again

Couple Questions
Im looking to create a couple of things.

I want to create a easter egg type thing. Kind of like whats on a dvd. If you press a certain type of button combination it would make a button appear.

for example if you pressed the up arrow 2 times and the right arrow 1 time a button named secret would appear.

Does anyone know of a tutorial on how to do this or if this can be done.

I also want to create a flash version check movie. I want it to check the version of the flash player thats installed on the users machine and display it in a movie.

I appreciate any and all help that you can give me.

TIA

Couple Of Questions
Doubt #1

I got a flash file attatched. What i would want is that when I click on button 2 I want to play the window 1 exit animation and only then play the window 2 enter animation. similarly for the button 2 animation too. The thing is that I have succeeded in doing this after a bit of tweaking with the action script.

Actually I am a bit confused as to how action script gets executed! In my file you will see that I have included the following AS for button 2.

on (release)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay("x"+_root.link);
_root.link = 2;
}

Assuming initial state to be in 1, would the above code first goto and play the label x1(the window 1 exit animation) before it changes _root.link to 2 ?

Or does it first change _root.link to 2 and then go to label x1. If it isin't the latter I am still very much confused!!! (note that i have included gotoAndPlay("s"+_root.link); at the last frame of the exit animation)

Doubt #2

Well, I am doing a portfolio website and I got a lot of thumbnails. I am planning to have mouse over animation for all of them. Is there any way of doing them all togethor ? I am really tired of creating individual tweens for the mouse over state of each thumbnail. Any batch processing or nifty actionscript tricks..?

Thanx 4 reading..

A Couple Of Questions
Hi, I've got a few questions:

1. A have a flash movie that I move away from and come back to at a later time. When I come back the 2nd time, I would like the movie to start on a frame other than 0. Is there a way to do this or do I simply need to have two separate flash movies?

2. I have a text field that is loading text dynamically. I would like the text to fade in, rather than just come on. Alpha does not seem to work, and I've also tried masking with no luck. Is there any way to fade the textfield in?

Thanks!

Couple XML Questions?
Hi,

I have some flash files with text, I was wondering if there was a way I can edit the text via an xml file, so then when I want to update I don't have to go in to the flash file and insert text.

I also have a image gallery that has images that fade in and then fade out for the next one to fade in. I want to have it so I can load the images in via an XML file, is this possible?

If any one can help would be awesome.

Thanks

A couple of questions for a beginner here.

1. Can anyone tell me if there is a simple code to play one of the sounds in the library. So if the sound is called "sound.wav", what code would I use to play this sound? (I want to use it in an if statement so I can't just drag it on to the score.)

2. Is there any code to pause/wait for 2 seconds. At the moment I have some code to make an object move, but I want to wait 2 seconds before this happens.

A Couple Of Questions
Hey guys, i am making a game in flash and i have 7 movclips lables by letters and heres what i want to happen.
first before i go ne further here is the arrray i created witch contains the names of the mc's i want to use.

var athosArray:Array = ["jj_mc", "i_mc", "s_mc", "ff_mc", "aa_mc", "u_mc"];

so each of thease movie clips have a short animation called engage and what i want is that when the user click on all of thease mc's in that order they are in in the array and then they click on a mc called engage i want it to do an event such as make another movie clip play an animation. but heres the thing, if they click on ne of them mcs in some other order i want the other movie clip to do nothing.
============================
also. i have a movie clip called border_mc and at the start with an onEnterFrame event i have made it so the alpha level of that clip is 0 and what i cant figure out is how to control its alpha via pressins shift+d on thekeyboard, so at the start if they press shift+d while its alpha level is 0 i want that mc's alpha to goto 100 and vise versa.

hope u can help and thanks in advanced

Couple Of Questions
Hi guys,

I am learning actionscript...I am in basic stage.
Plz help me in couple of queries.

Firstly,
I have a dynamic text box. How can I output the mouse position[xcordinate,y cordinate] in that text box based on where my cursor on stage?

Secondly,

Can i link the mouse cursor to couple of movie clips(say we create couple of rectangles & convert them to mc) on top end & left end of my stage so that when my mouse cursor moves in a stage, these 2 movies clips will move horizentaly or verticaly.
Basicaly my left end movie clip[x=0 always] will read the y values of the mouse cursor & top end movioe clip[y=0] will read x values of the cursor and move according to the values.

Plz provide the action script of above. Thanks.

A Couple Of AS3 Questions
Here's the scenario:

I have a map, with 50 movieclips each representing a store in a mall.

Each one of these movieclips has a value appended to them of .storeID

so I just set

clipname.storeID = 1; and then some mojo fires off based on that later on.

My problem is that the mojo can't fire off unless I attach event handlers to each one of these clips. There are 50 of them, and somehow I doubt Adobe's intention was to simply have us type out

clipname.addEventListener

50 times.

I had two ideas, neither of which I can get to work in AS3.

Idea #1)

Create a for each on the main timeline, the store clips are actually a special class that extends MovieClip so the actual line I imagined would look something like

Code:
for each (var clip:StoreClip in Stage)
{
clip.addEventListener(arg1, arg2);
}
However the Stage, parent, and this properties seem to be sliiiightly different than they were in Flash 8. If I try any of those, it just doesn't execute the loop at all.

I know this works, I just don't know, nor can I find, the proper syntax.

Idea #2)

Create an array on the main timeline that would store the object reference to each one of the clips, and the clip itself would add itself to the array when it is created.

So in the StoreClip constructor, there is a line

parent.storeClipArray.push(this);

However, this raises a compiler error saying that storeClipArray does not exist, despite the fact that it clearly does. on line 2 of Frame 1 of the FLA. I've been reading that classes communicating with function and variables on the main timeline, hell, even in other instantiated classes is a big no-no, which raises the question, wtf?

Any help/links would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Couple Questions
Probably very easy ones, but it's not working. Okay - question 1. I've got a .swf file - one frame long, four objects, all dynamically placed and loaded via AS. now, when I ctrl-enter, the movie works brilliantly. however, when I open it in a browser, nothing shows. It's basically five interrelated functions in frame 1, followed by:
ActionScript Code:
this.onLoad = function(){
calBuild();
}
where calBuild() is the main function. Should work, right? Cause it doesn't. Not in the browser, anyway.

Second stupid question - I have a movie with a pushbutton and an empty (placed) movieclip. in the function handler for the pushbutton, i have a simple line of code:

ActionScript Code:
function calHandler(){
_root.loadMovie("blah.swf", _root,placer);
}

this should work just fine, except that the blah.swf movie doesn't load into the target, it loads into the level0 in the current movie. This is not exactly what I was expecting.

Is there something terribly simple that I'm missing here? Any ideas or advice is much appreciated.

Couple Of Questions
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to open a html page within a flash movie.
By this I mean in the same way that you can create frames in dreamweaver and have any frame link to a different html page.
I have gallery areas on a new site I am constructing and would like to use html galleries within these areas as opposed to flash so if anyone has any idea how to do this please give me a shout.I appreciate that flash doesnt work using frames I was just wondering could you position the page in a certain area of the screen so it looked like it was loading in the gallery areas.
Here's the link for anyone who wants to see what I am on about.

http://www.audition-us.com click the section buttons and it will take you to the desired areas that I want to put the html pages.

The only way I thought of replicating the idea was to use either of Kirupas tutorials. Chromeless window and centred pop up.

Both have certain things I need but both still have borders on them and therefore take away the impression of the html being the same page.

...............God I could Talk for England couldn't I ??????

Hope this makes sense to someone!!!!

A Couple Of Questions
Hey guys!

I'm working on a school project. It contains a main section which has 7 buttons. Each of these buttons is a character which you can zoom in to, see who they are, click and see a small cinematic/animation and proceed to it's respective section.

I have a couple of concerns.

1. What is the best way of loading my project? I've been thinking of using the loadMovie and have placeholders, each section with a progress bar.
what should I load when?

2. how can I make the flash movie resize in the browser window using actionscript ? so that I have no problems with screen resolution sizes.
I use 1280x1024, but I guess there are still people on 800x600(which is lame)

Here is an example of the resizing I mean:

#2 I've created a Progress Bar using this tutorial http://www.tutorialoutpost.com/count/2685

Is there a way in which I can use this with a loader like you can use the Progress Bar Component?

If I'm not clear let me know and I'll try again.

A Couple Of Questions...
If I create a textbox using createTextField, is there a way to make it an input field, instead of dynamic? Also, how can I put a border around it, like you can when you create them manually.

Is there a way of doing a division with a remainder instead of a decimal? The best I could think of was splitting the whole number and the decimal and then multiplying the decimal by whatever it was originally divided by. If that is the best way, how would I find the whole number, if I round it, it might go up instead of down, which I don't want.

Couple Of Questions.
Hej all, my first post here .
Anywayz, I`ve been working with Flash for some time now, same for PhotoShop, but that doesn`t really matter.
I wanted to ask you guys couple of questions.

1.I want some background music on my site. Like 3 tracks
How do I make this ? Because the tuto about sound on kirupa.com didn`t really help .

2.ON my site, I`ve made an index, with pictures on them (resized to small cubes). Now, when you press them, I`ve linked them to the complete picture on my host. (e.x. /pics/bla.JPG)The link opens, all normal. But when you want to go back... you press the BACK button, and you start all over again on my site. Is there a way I can make a pop-up or something, that it opens in there.
Or another id to solve this problem ?

(When on my site http://bigF.vze.com --> designs --> show all designs --> over there)

Thx in advance !

Couple Questions
Hey peeps I have a couple questions..

1) How do I make an effect where it looks like your flying through space?
2) This one I have trouble explaining, but, I'll try my best.. When you click on a button, I want a Line to come out of the buttons, expand (get longer) then turn 90º Right then expand more. It never stops expanding. Then, after its done with the animation, wait a couple seconds, then follow the same path, back into the button..

Do you get what I mean? : If now Ill try to explain better, but thats the best I can do so far.

Ahh yes, also, if anyone knows some good Photoshop7 tutorials, wanna post them here? I just got Photoshop7 and am eager to use it!

Thanks,

Couple Of Questions...

Couple of questions!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to open a html page within a flash movie.
By this I mean in the same way that you can create frames in dreamweaver and have any frame link to a different html page.
I have gallery areas on a new site I am constructing and would like to use html galleries within these areas as opposed to flash so if anyone has any idea how to do this please give me a shout.I appreciate that flash doesnt work using frames I was just wondering could you position the page in a certain area of the screen so it looked like it was loading in the gallery areas.
Here's the link for anyone who wants to see what I am on about.

http://www.audition-us.com click the section buttons and it will take you to the desired areas that I want to put the html pages.

The only way I thought of replicating the idea was to use either of Kirupas tutorials. Chromeless window and centred pop up.

Both have certain things I need but both still have borders on them and therefore take away the impression of the html being the same page.

...............God I could Talk for England couldn't I ??????

Hope this makes sense to someone!!!!

A Couple Of Questions
Last edited by toddersbud : 2004-10-16 at 19:23.

hey everyone, here is a list of questions regarding info i can't seem to find good documentation on.

1.) Flash Projects. New in MX 2004, i've done some research and some playing around, but have a few issues/questions.
a.) First off, is there a way to apply something to an entire project. For example, if you create a new profile in settings, to say, only export an swf and a jpg image of the current movie.. can you export that profile via the settings window and apply it to an entire project without opening each file.
b.) What is the point of setting a default document within a project? what benefit does that hold?

2.) Export for actionscript. I am currently working to better understand shared librarys, and i have found plenty of instances using the "export for actionscript" option, but no basic explanation of what that does. So, what exactly does that accomplish?

thanks for any help you can give.

Couple Of Questions About A.s.
Hey there,

I thought about making a small website with actionscript only (so no timeline tweening etc.)
But now i have a couple of questions about it.

Do i need for every single mc a new as file and then include it into the main as file?
Or can i put everything in the same file?

where do i put the actionsscript?
file-> new -> actionscript file or
file -> new -> flash document
and then put it on the 1st frame.

That's it for now
If someone can help me out with this, it would be much appreciated.
If you have anything else important that i should know, let me know

A Couple Questions
Ok, so since I can't post a picture here to show you what's going on, I'll try to explain it the best that I can. The basic layout of my page is a navigation bar on the left, and a box on the right that has the title, a subtitle, a color box and a text box within the color box. What I'm trying do is when I click on one of the buttons on the left, I want the subtitle to change to whatever the button name is, I want the color box to shift colors to match it (with a different graphic or however,) and I want the text to change to the file that corresponds to the page. Is there a way to do this all from the same page, or am I going to have to have a seperate page for each?

Thanks in advance, and if you need any more information, please let me know.

Couple Of Small Questions:
First off, I'm using Flash 5...

Can someone please tell me how to get the color mixer to allow me to blend colors like they talk about in this tutorial. I don't have a place in my mixer to blend colors from one to another.

Next, I need to know how to test a preloader,... I saw somewhere where they talked about viewing it through flash as if I were dialing up with a 56k modem. I have no clue where to look for this setting/option.

and Last, Is there a good tutorial for showing me how to make an object bend while moving. For example: If I had bird flying from one side of the screen to the other, I could convert it to a symbol to allow motion from point a to point b. However, since it is a symbol, I can not edit it while it is in motion... like to make its wings move. I know this is got to be somethign simple that I have yet to learn to use, as I see multiple movements in alot of flash these days.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps me with their time,
JuggoPop

Couple Of Simple Questions
1. Where would I put the fas.win.title command so that the title is controlled throughout the movie? It would be the same title, not changing during scenes or or anything.

2. Where would I put the commands to lock the screen at a certain resolution?

3. Anyone know a good way to make a sparkler-like effect, and if so, how would you loop that into a movie? I'd like to add an effect like that to the text at the top of the page and leave it running, while the rest of the movie does other things. Would it be a nested sort of thing, or something else?
