Still Having Trouble Adding Link To Swf File
Hey There,

I'm still having difficulty adding a hyperlink to an swf file... i tried adding the 'get url' action into the graphic itself, even changed it into a movie behavior- but for some reason when i go to 'basic actions', and scroll down to the 'on mouse event' or 'on clip event', they aren't highlighted- so i can't choose them.

so- essentially. i want the animation to loop, but i only want the url link to open if someone clicks on the animation. the animations i want to become hyperlinks are at the bottom of this page: http://www.lynnguppy.com/johnnyfish.htm

? any more help ? i know i'm probably missing something simple. but i guess that's why i'm a newbie.

thanks for your kind indulgence, lynn

Adding Load Bar Trouble
hey guys, i think i posted this once before but i still havnt gotten a solution.
basically what i want to achieve is a site like the "Preloader and Transition for Dynamic Files" tutorial but where it says "loading" i want to replace with a loading bar. now i thought this would be pretty simple and straight forward but as hard as i try to make it work, it wont

this is my best guess so far in the 'content' actionscript

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (!loaded && this._url != _root._url) {
bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.transition.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
_root.transition.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
loaded = true;
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("opening");
}
}
}

i thought that should work but it doesnt? can anyone help me out? ill really appreciate some help.

cheers, evan

Trouble Adding .mp3 To Project
Hello, I have just started to play around with Flash this week and I am having trouble importing an .mp3 file to my project. It gives me the error, "One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them". However, this is only for certain .mp3 files. I can import some .mp3's, just not all of them. They all exist in the same folder and I made sure that the file name were legit. I am completey lost, so if anybody could help, I would appreciate it!

Having Trouble With Dynamic Text Adding, Etc
Hello, Ive gotten lots of help here for my dynamic text and this is the last thing to complete my site.

What I have is a main scene with 2 movie clips
one movie clip you make a selection
the other movie clip shows the total cost, adding or subtracting the amount of your choice.

Its confusing so ill show you what code I have
On first frame of the main scene

Code:
_root.baseprice=700;
_root.surfaceprice=0;
_root.cupprice=0;
_root.legprice=0;
_root.addonprice=0;
_root.total_price=_root.baseprice + _root.surfaceprice + _root.cupprice + _root.legprice + _root.addonprice;

In the movie clip where I want to display the total (named "right"), i have a dynamic text field var: named "total_price" and this code in the first frame of the clip

Code:
_root.right.total_price=_root.total_price;

Now this displays the "700" like it should. But I want it to change as i make my selections in the other movie clip.
So I have this code for 3 buttons, one button makes the value 0, one 100, and one 200.

Code:
//first button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =0;

//different button
on (press) {
_root.surfaceprice =100;

//last button
on (press) {

_root.surfaceprice =200;

So, in theory, shouldnt pressing these buttons change the value of the "_root.surfaceprice" in the main scene, then in turn chang the value of the "total_price" in the other movie clip?

Thank you for the help.

Trouble Adding Eventlistener In Loop
I'm having trouble adding this eventlistener in a simple loop. Can somebody tell, why the eventhandler doesn't get triggered?

FMS 2 - Trouble Adding Application (CentOS)
Hi,

Very recently I managed to install on a CentOS 4.4 platform. I checked what services were running:

./fmsmgr list

21937 pts/0 00:00:00 fmsmaster
32580 pts/0 00:00:00 fmsadmin

I tried to develop my first test application found in 'Learning Flash Media Server 2' book. After creating the subfolder under applications folder, I them tried to add the application inside the Admin Console. The application was added momentarily and then disappeared. I went to check the messages log and by stopping and starting the fms server I was able to isolate the weird Failed messages below:

Trouble Adding Commas To String
I'm using code I found on this site to add commas to a large number (so that a number like 1000000 appears as 1,000,000). Below is the actionscript I'm using.

When I define the variable debt as any number, the script works perfectly. But if I define debt as a variable passed to the movie from a PHP file, then the script puts the commas in the wrong places (i.e., 10,000,00). Can anyone explain to me why this would happen, and how to fix it?

var input = debt;
var inputString = input.toString();
var finalString = "$";
var count = 0;
var tempString = "";
for (var i = inputString.length-1; i>=0; i--) {
count++;
tempString += inputString.charAt(i);
if ((count%3 == 0) && (i - 1 >= 0)) {
tempString += ",";
}
}
for (var k = tempString.length; k>=0; k--) {
finalString += tempString.charAt(k);
}
return(finalString);

Trouble Adding Numbers In Array
As an excercise, I'm trying to create a class that will take the average value of numbers in an array.
I'm stuck on adding the values of the array elements. I keep getting "NaN" for the total. Below is my code.

ActionScript Code:
private function getTotal ():Number
{
var total:Number;
for (var i = 0; i<numArray.length; i++)
{
total += Number(numArray[i]);
}
trace("total= "+total);
return (total);
}

Trouble With Adding Buttons That Link To Other Scenes...? (PLEASE HELP)
Greetings...

I have put in the following code, to link to various scenes in my movie...
================================================
For example:

on (press, release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 6", 1);
}
================================================

Now, I place these actionscripts on the images that I converted to Flash Buttons and the following error comes up...

================================================
Example:

Scene=Scene 2, Layer=Presentations, Frame=485: Line 1: Mouse events are permitted only for button instances
on (press, release) {
================================================

When I play my movie, the "Buttons" that I created do act like real buttons (my mouse changes on MouseOver) but when I click them, nothing happens...

Why would this happen? I have other buttons in my movie, on other pages that link just fine and I used the same code... Why isn't it working now?

Thanks!!!

Trouble Adding Duplicated Movieclips To Array
whats up everybody,

once again its almost time to choke the young'ns. I'm on my last nerve and someone or something is gonna catch the wrath.

i have a question or problem that seems easy enough to handle. i've been trying to store my duplicated movie clips inside an array so i can access the x and y positions later. i have duplicate about 20 movie clips and need to have their names stored in an array while they're being duplicated. here's what my code looks like so far:

var intervalID;
intervalID = setInterval(checkLoadStatus, 100);

function checkLoadStatus() {
if(Title.loaded){
clearInterval(intervalID);

//split artist string into array
aArtists = Title.artists.split(",");
aPhotos = Title.photos.split(",");

// initialize stars with Title data
star_amount = aArtists.length;
trace("XXstar_amount = " + star_amount);

//declare arrays
a_Stars = new Array(star_amount);
a_centerCheck = new Array(star_amount);

for (i=0; i<star_amount; i++){

a_Stars[i] = duplicateMovieClip("star", "star" + i, 1+i );

//set length of array
a_Stars[i] = this["star" + i];

//set boolean values to check for position
a_centerCheck[i] = false;

}
star._visible = false;
trace("AAthe elements in a_Stars: " + a_Stars[1]._name);
trace("ZZthe elements in a_centerCheck: " + a_centerCheck[5]);
}
}

the problem is that flash is not storing the elements of the array. on my trace command a_Stars array keeps coming up empty while a_centerCheck displays its elements all fine. stars(the duplicated movie clip) is a child so the target is i believe to be ok. (but is probably wrong also - i just don't know).
any help, as always, is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Having Trouble Adding Action Script To Button Symbol
Hello everyone:
I am hoping someone will read this as I am a developer in 'dires straits' with Flash ( a newbie). My problem regards a layer called "button" which has already been converted to symbol and turned into an invisible button. The problem lies when I try to use the selection tool to select it so that I can add action script to it. Instead of the actions dialogue box saying "actions-button", it says "actions-frame", and as a result, the action script doesn't work. I don't know what to do, it should be simple to select it but something is wrong. If you feel a need to help a developer in need, you can email me at support@tahutiwebsites.com, and I can e-mail you the file so that you can help. Thanks, or you can call me at 310-867-5167

Trouble Adding Dynamically Named Elements To An Array Immediate Help Is Needed
OK, here we go... if someone can help me figure this out, I will have successfully completed my site in time for the deadline today at noon...

-- I have an array located at "_parent.emptyWindows"
-- "_parent[this._name]" gives me the name of the current MC and the value I want to add to array "emptyWindows"
-- I'm trying to add an element in this manner:

Code:
_parent.emptyWindows[_parent[this._name]] = _parent[this._name];
That is not working, but not even this is working for me:

Code:
_parent.emptyWindows["bird"] = "bird";
Here I've given an explicit value and name for the element to be added to the array, but obviously something is wrong in my context and I just am NOT finding it.

Any guesses???
Much appreciation,

Adding A Swish File To A Flash File?
Is it possible?

I made an intro to my site, and made a good animated button in SWiSH 2.0. When I try to open it, it pops up as an unexpected file format. When I "Save As" the button, there are no other file formats to choose from other than the .swi file.

Any help?

Trouble Adding Animation To Existing Rollover Animation
Hey all,

I'm using Flash 8. I have a picture of a building which is segmented into floors. Upon rolling over a grouping of floors the user sees either a blue overlay, indicating they can click, or a gray overlay simply describing what the floor is. I already have some actionscript in place and I don't need to alter it, I just added more animation to an existing movieclip rollover, but it's not quite working. On one of the floors that rolls-over gray, I want an additional rollover with some text. So I made a movie clip of the rollover animating out and the type coming in and I just added it to the gray fade in movie clip since there was already onRollover actionscript in place there. However, the rollover kept playing over and over again. So, of course I added a Stop action. Then, the animation didn't work anymore, it just rolled over to the final state of that animation. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do, or what I can do as an alternative? I'll post the actionscript in case that helps. Like I said, the rollover "rolls-over" but either loops (without a Stop action), or rolls over to the final frame in the animation (with a Stop action).

Thanks!

Adding An .fla File.
Sorry if I'm super-noob of the week, but I've been downloading some nice .fla files from here and have been trying to add them to my already-finished movie. However, I haven't used Flash since v1.0 so I've forgotten mostly everything.

Can someone help me so that I might know how to 'add' an already made .fla file into mine. For instance, I found a neat background line loop I would like to add as a background on mine, but so far have just gotten extremely frustrated.

Thank you for your patience.

Help With Adding A Quiz To The File
I am having to create a CBT for my final at school, and I am trying to add a quiz onto the end of my flash movie. I have the quiz (which i created from one of the flash templates) as a seperate file, which i tried to copy and paste those frames into the movie, but with no luck. Any clue how I can get this to work?

It will go to the first check, then you can check it, then it sends you back to frame one of the movie besides sending you on to the next question. I am not using any additional coding besides what is in the quiz template.

[F8] CS3- Adding A .mid Audio File
I am trying to add a midi audio file to an animation but when I try to import, cs3 says it can't read the format. I haven't been able to find the sound file in any other format. Is there a way actionscript can play the file when the animation starts without it being part of the swf? (I have also tried embedding the file with html' tried the object tag, but these only works in IE and not FF.)

Adding To Stage From A .as File
Hi Just wondering if anyone has a better system for adding to the stage from an as file than this:

I am trying to add a text box to the stage and this works but it seems like there should be an easier way to do this. Do I really need to pass this to the .as file?

In my .as file I have:

ActionScript Code:
package{

public class Create{
public function createObjectAndAdd(myStage:Object){
var tx:TextField = new TextField();
tx.text="Stuff";
myStage.addChild();
}
}
}

In my .fla file I have:

ActionScript Code:
var c:Create = new Create();
c.createObjectAndAdd(this);

Thanks all.

Trouble With Loading Xml File
I'm using MX 2004, and I'm having trouble loading an external swf via xml into another swf file. Where it's perplexing for me is that I'm able to do it with other files into that same document.

I've got three external files which should be available on each individual frame -- a lesson file, a help file, and a glossary file. The lesson file will load automatically while the help and glossary files are only available after a mouse click. Thus far, I'm getting an undefined error when I attempt to load the glossary file, yet I've used the same code that I did for the lesson file, which is working fine. Can anyone else see where I went wrong? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here is the code that I'm using.

function loadCurrentPage (newPageNode) {
contentMoviePath = newPageNode.attributes.filename;
keytermsmovie = newPageNode.attributes.keyterms;
helpmovie = newPageNode.attributes.helpfile;
objtitle = newPageNode.attributes.objtitle;
loadMovie (contentMoviePath, content);
}

keys.onRelease = function () {
keyholder.loadMovie (keytermsmovie);
closemovie._visible = true;
closemovie.enabled = true;
closemovie.gotoAndPlay ("_up");
}

closemovie.onRelease = function () {
keyholder.unloadMovie ();
helpholder.unloadMovie ();
closemovie._visible = false;
closemovie.enabled = false;

Trouble With Remote File
Hey Guys

Relative newbie here.

I've created a site that loads external swf's into a holder movie clip using a frame actionscript which is triggered by instantiated buttons that call the function.

Everything tests fine locally but when I upload and test the site only the main swf loads. When the buttons are clicked the other swf files cannot be found. I have checked that all the files are in the correct directory and all seems to be fine.

To see an example of what is happening check the site.
www.thegroomingroom.com.au

The buttons are along the right hand bottom and don't seem to function.

Can anyone explain what might be happening? This has been a problem for quite a while and is really starting to bug me.

Thanks for your time

Trouble Exporting A GIF File, Please Help Me
Hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble exporting a GIF file that I have created, it's probably really simple, but I have no idea.

This is the exported file http://b.imagehost.org/0258/25.gif as you can see the banner is there but you can't see it.

Any thoughts, also it's strange because if I import files from photoshop it exports in GIF format, but this was created solely in Flash and it's all text.

Thanks for any help.

Adding Hyperlink To SWF File In HTML
This is my first time dealing with any .swf files, so any help would be appreciative...

I have been given an .swf file that needs to be added to an HTML page - no problem. That file then needs to link to another site. Is this something that needs to be added to the file before it is loaded onto a website?

I've seen the following code provided in other threads, but either it is meant to be used when creating the file, or I'm not using it correctly when I try adding it to my .asp page.

on (release) {
getURL ("<URL here>", "_blank");
}

If I'm not trying to do something impossible, please edit the code below to make this file link:

<html>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" TEXT="#000000" marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 topmargin=0 leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 id=all>
<embed width="360" height="75" src="<file>" border="0">

Any idea on how to optimize this code.

For a projector I am making a list of companys based on variables pulled out of a textfile based database.
I have an array of companies and an array of types.
in a loop where i++;

txtResults += _root.arrCompany_1[i-1] + _root.arrType[i-1] + '
';

(' go instead of ")

The list sometimes adds up to 1000 entries. At first it goes pretty fast but as i increases it is beginning to slow down significantly. Until it down to adding 1 line pr second.

Does anybody know of a better way of adding to a string?

SWF File Size Before Adding Preloader?
Have an intro home page which is 51k. Do I need a preloader?

What is the rule of thumb. Up to how many k is a preloader considered unnecessary?

Adding To A Text File Through Flash
My news is loaded dynamically on my flash website through a text file, and I'd just like to know, is there any way to add-to or open up and completely change the news textfile through flash? I'd like to streamline it for the other people who'd like to post.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

(Sorry, it seems like I havn't tried at all to answer my own question, but I have been for a couple of days now.)
