Flash :: Heck If I Can Figure This Out

Heck If I Can Figure This Out
You'll be able to see my problem if you're using netscape, mozilla, or firefox

The action scripts were copied from the original flash animation, which works fine.

The original, which is located at www.tampabaywater.org works just fine, when you rollover the images, the text changes as it should. You can also click on the images to be directed to specific pages within the site.

The modified version, which is located at www.tampabaywater.org:8080

Well, the PTB wanted a better version, change the image transition, slow down the transition, fix the text so it isn't jumping so much... it works great in IE, but for some reason, this new version doesn't work in Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, or in Netscape... The two flash files were done almost exactly the same... but for some reason when I export the movie from the newer file, the above mentioned browsers put the button hit areas in the lower left hand corner of the movie... the rollovers don't work, nor do the links to the interior pages. I know it's not the fact that the original version is on a standard ASP page, while the new version is ASP.NET, since the original flash animation was also part of the ASP.NET pages and worked just fine.

Heck If I Can Figure This Out
You'll need to use Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox to see this...

Working version is located at http://www.tampabaywater.org The rollovers on the flash animation work as they are supposed to. However, a newer version of the same flash animation located at http://www.tampabaywater.org:8080 doesn't work as it should. In IE it works with no problems. The action scripts behind the buttons were done in exactly the same manner, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why the mouseover areas don't appear over the buttons in Mozilla, Netscape, or in Mozilla Firefox. I haven't tested this in Opera or Safari, will try Safari tonight when I get home. Anyone have any insight into this issue? We'd like to swicth to the newer, animation, as the PTB like the speed and image transition better than the original version.

How The Heck

How The Heck Is He Doing This?
Okay, I've got this flash movie. The creator was nice enough to make his project public domain, so I thought I'd deconstruct it to learn a little bit.

Thing is, I can't tell how he does it. All I can find are stop() and gotoandStop () actions. could someone please help me figure out what he is doing?

here's the .fla

What The Heck
Ok, I'm going out of my mind ... I'm so not new to flash programming or for loops or the break command

beginString = "<FONT FACE="Times" SIZE="12" COLOR="#000000">Text</FONT>

or

beginString = Text

beginString is the 0 index to the first char in a selection that a user made ... if the user selects text between the <FONT FACE ***> I want the code to break ... if they select any code outside the <FONT FACE ***> I want the code to continue ... Buts its not working

Do you see anything wrong with this code

here is the code I'm having problems with

code:
for (i = 0; i < beginString.length; i++) {
if (beginString.charAt(i) == ">") {
break;
} else if (beginString.charAt(i) != ">") {
if (beginString.charAt(i) == "<") {
trace(beginString.charAt(i) + "" + beginString.charAt(i+1));
break;
}
}
}

thanks

How The Heck Do I Do This?
ok, I have a question, and I'm still not too clear on it. I want to have a link section on my flash page, and I have lots of links. I want to know if it's possible to make a scrollable textbox that has the links in them. First of all, I dont know how to stick a link inside a textbox. I've been told that all I have to do is write inside
PHP Code:

<a href = "url">go to this page</a>

but I do that.. and all of that is what shows up. i want my text box to look like this:

Quote:

Visit these links:
so and so's page
so and so's Other page

And I want it to scroll. So how do I do that? do I have to make a separate text file and load it into the textbox? or do I need to make a textbox for EVERY SINGLE LINK? (so that I'm putting in the link through the texbox properties...)
please help..

Can't Figure This Out (can't Even Figure Out How To Describe It Lol)
I have a function that is getting the dimensions of a textfield so I know how large I will need to create it later on. Problem is, when loading big blocks of HTML w/ embedded images, the textfield may change size a few times before completely loading. If I trace out the "h" property in this function inside a loop, it looks like this:

1107
1107
1153
1208
.
.
.

until it gets to around 1350. I need a way to return that 1350, not the 1107, as my textfields are being sized to small. Any idea how to modify this function below so it returns the correct values? I've tried do/while, just a while loop, and onEnterFrame, but just can't figure out a way to get those values. Any help would be appreciated.

ActionScript Code:
private function getHtmlTextExtent(mcTest:MovieClip, strHtml:String):Object
{
var w:Number = 0;
var h:Number = 0;
var fw:Number = 0;
var fh:Number = 0;
var objExtent:Object;

_txtTemp = mcTest.createTextField("txtTemp", 100, 10, 1, 530, 400);
_txtTemp.embedFonts = true;
_txtTemp.multiline = true;
_txtTemp.wordWrap = true;
_txtTemp.antiAliasType = "advanced";
_txtTemp.selectable = false;
_txtTemp.html = true;
_txtTemp.htmlText = strHtml;

w = _txtTemp.textWidth;
h = _txtTemp.textHeight;
fw = _txtTemp._width;
fh = _txtTemp._height;

objExtent = {width:w, height:h, textFieldWidth:fw, textFieldHeight:fh};

_txtTemp.removeTextField();

return objExtent;
}

JavaScript Heck
I'm having a difficult time with Publish Settings and JavaScript when using MX. I never encountered the problem with Flash 5, but suddenly my work has browser issues ...

I usually publish my projects as .html (absolute center), and code the JavaScript by hand with trusty ol' notepad. I attach the JS to buttons [on release: javascript:launchwin ... ].

Now, the problem is : some viewers get just a blank screen (in this case, black the color of the html) without even the embedded .jpeg let alone a button.

I'm so confused! Please reply.

Preloader Heck
Im very new to actionscript so bear with me
I set up a preloader with these pramaters
I have 2 scenes "loader" and "mainsite"

scripted in "loader" frame 4 labled "preloaderloop"

framesloaded = _level0._framesloaded;
totalframes = _level0._totalframes;
percentLoaded = Math.round((framesLoaded/totalFrames)*100);
bar._xscale = percentLoaded;

scripted in "loader" frame 5

if (framesLoaded == totalFrames) {
gotoAndPlay("mainsite", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay("preloaderloop");
}
the problem is that the instance "bar" dosent do anything and the dynamic text box goes to 8 then stops while the rest of the move keeps loading. Looking at streaming i can see that the loop is fine but the dynamic box and the graph bar do nothing.

Plz help me

Listeners, MX, Web, And What The Heck Is Going On
I've been trying to create a listener for text input. I've looked at, downloaded, and studied this for a while from several sources. I even tried and easy one like:

myObj = new Object();
myObj.onKeyDown = function() {
x = Key.getAscii();
trace("You hit: " + x);
};
Key.addListener(myObj);

I would publish it to the intranet and still it wouldn't work. After about four and a half billion attempts, I tried just testing the movie from the Flash MX app. Lo and behold it works. Now, why doesn't it work after I publish to the intranet?

Okay, how the heck did they get the seperate instances in the movie to do that?

I can understand that they have used an OnClick command on each menu button to order maybe 3-4 seperate clips to zip about the screen. So how do I replicate this effect?

1. How do I get a movie clip to smoothly accelerate across the page to a designated _X or _Y point in this way?

2. How do I change the acceleration / decceleration speed so that I can get a 3D effect with slower clips in the background and faster clips in the foreground?

Im baffled and any help would be great...

Heck Of A Time
Hello. I have a MC within an MC within an MC. :-)
When my main page loads the final animation rests @ news_events(instance name), frame whatever. Within news_events I have on my first frame
_root.news_events.scroll_movie.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x -= (this._x-end_mc._x)*.3;
};
Scroll movie slides in from the right to end_mc and news_events has a stop action in frame 37. Within scroll_movie I have a movie by the instance name of "main." I have an external text file I would like to load into "main" when news_events stops @ frame 37. I have tried onLoad, onEnterFrame, ifFrameLoaded, onClipEvent and just plain old loadVariables in the frame 1 of "main." If you have any ideas I sure do appreciate it. Thanks and have a great night...

What The Heck Is Wrong With AS 3.0?
I'm having a whale of a time with rollovers in AS 3.0. In this app:
RexMap

The bottom buttons are simple movieclips with an up and over state.
When you rollover and out of them they are very buggy. They have listeners and that is is. myButton.gotoAndPlay("over");

The button to the left of the one with the green arrow. This is for the visible elements on the application. When the pop-up comes up, "MOUSE_OVER" doesn't work at all!!!! Why?

"ROLL_OVER" is extremely buggy. Try it, works maybe half the time.

I've been programming in AS for 5 years and 2.0 was perfect with the rollovers of movieclips. Should I be doing something different, or is this AS 3.0, for now?

Thanks,

V2 ComboBoxes, What The Heck?
I have this glitch in a shopping cart I have made for this website. The cart.swf file (which contains the comboboxes) is loaded into the framework.swf file using a MovieClipLoader.

The Issue: Sometimes, the comboBoxes either don't drop down, or they leave behind the rectBorder after they are clicked, as illustrated in the picture above.

I already found the issue with V2 components requiring this._lockroot = true, and have placed this code in the root of the cart.swf file. Most of the time the comboboxes work just fine (in flash testing environment, firefox, most of the time in ie), but sometimes in IE, this issue occurs. This is very bad, because if someone wants to buy a product and the comboBoxes won't drop down, I could get seriously sued for causing my client to lose customers.

If anyone could please shed any light on this issue, or if there are any other known issues with the V2 components that you know of, I would very much appreciate. Thanks so much!

Trigonometric Heck
I should have paid more attention in math class at school. I'm basically just expanding on the carousel tutorial here and am turning it into a component, but the trig is driving me insane. Ideally, the user could build the path ellipse with a combination of the variables:

- horizontal width or radius
- vertical height or radius

makes an ellipse, basically that's where the tut put it, calculating the scale based on the y value. What I'd like to add are:

- rotation x
- rotation y and
- rotation z

putting the ellipse in 3D space, making the available shapes far cooler and more versatile. I need a mathematician. Does anybody know of any good resources, other the wikipedia, where I might get the info to solve this one? Or, any bright sparks out there willing to give me a quick explanation?

Thanks,

Actionscript....W00t Da Heck?
Alrighty, hello all,

I am relatively new to Flash (no duh, that's why I'm here ) having used it for 2-3 months. So far, I've made an animated short. The next project is my first website and.....uh, yeah, I am nearly illiterate when it comes down to actionscript. My only experience with Actions even remotely close to this are those in Director.

What I do have is a menu with buttons and a cartoon fox graphic in scene one. I've managed to assign a button a rollover action (is included in scene one; the fox sways its tail. Go me!), but when I actually want to click the button to take me to scene two, nothing happens except the rollover action again and again.....I've tried
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(1); (which works fine)
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(nextScene); (this is the blasted troublemaker..)
}

and

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2");
}

but nada, zip, nuttin but the rollover action.

It sounds like people are giving out some very helpful advice here, resulting in many successes. I'm certain you all know a heck of a lot more than I do. Sooo.....Anyone feel the desire to give this girl a helping hand? Your advice would, of course, be very much apreciated ^_^
Thanks in advance.
