Arching Text
I am trying to replace a graphic with text in flash, but can't seem to figure out how to arch the text around a circle. Here are the files http://www.highpoint.edu/~councm04/vision The text on the intro needs to be fixed and I can't arc it. Does anyone know of a tutorial or quick way to do this in Flash? If not flash, Freehand?

How do you make bullets come out in the direction a gun is pointing, also how do u set speed of it, i know how to stop it and to make things do stuff when the object hits it.

Bullets?
Hello.
I am making a simple space game where you fly along and can strafe side to side. I have made my spaceship so that it can shoot bullets
What i would like to know is what do i need to do so that when a bullet hits an enemy ship that ship explodes?
//This is how i made my bullets
First of all i made a movie clip called 'bullet' which has an instance name of bullet.
I applied this script to the bullet
Code:
onClipEvent(load)
{
speedX = 25
}
onClipEvent(enterframe)
{
for (var i = 0; i < speedX; i++)
{
_x++;
}
}
And then i applied this spcript to the spaceship that shoots the bullets
Code:
//Bullet Shooting
onClipEvent (load)
{
i = 0
timer = 0
dir = "right"
}
onClipEvent(enterframe)
{
if (!Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))
{
timer = 5
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))
{
if (timer >=5)
{
i++
if (dir == "right")
{
duplicateMovieClip("_root.Bullet", "Bullet" + i, i);
_root["Bullet" + i]._x = this._x
_root["Bullet" + i]._y = this._y - 0
_root["Bullet" + i]._visible = true
}
timer = 0
}
timer++
}
}
//
Please help me

Those Pesky Bullets
Trying to add bullets to dynamic text array from txt file but so far no luck,
Well this is where I'm up too, I feel close but yet so far,
this is on my mc containing a dynamic textfield.

bulletpoint.text=_parent.passarray[1];
bulletpoint.multiline=true;

Bullets And Hittest
I'm making a sort of side scrolling shooter, and I've ran into a second problem:
When I shoot a gun I want the bullet to exit the gun barrel and move (in the angle in which it shot from) along the movie screen. This all works with this script:
Code:
obj2 = new Object();
obj2.x = shot_release._x;
obj2.y = shot_release._y;
this.localToGlobal(obj2);
_root.bullet_trace(obj2.x, obj2.y, this._rotation, 20);
('this' is the arm holding the gun)
'bullet_trace' function in _root:
Code:
function bullet_trace(xx, yy, angle, damage){
_root.attachMovie("bullet_trace_mc","bullet_trace"+_root.Bullettrace_i,_root.Bullettrace_i,{_y:yy, _x:xx});
setProperty("bullet_trace"+_root.Bullettrace_i, _rotation, angle);
_root.Bullettrace_i++;
}
Now I want to hittest, it's the only way I know off to get the info whether a bullet hits something or not. I made a mc with this code:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
a = 0;
while(a < 10){
string = "bullet_trace"+(_root.Bullettrace_i + a);
with("_root."+string) {
if (this.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMax, _y, true)) {
trace('hit');
}
if (this.hitTest(getBounds(_root).xMin, _y, true)) {
trace('hit');
}
if (this.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMax, true)) {
trace('hit');
}
if (this.hitTest(_x, getBounds(_root).yMin, true)) {
trace('hit');
}
}
a++;
}
}
I used while(a < 10) because there can be more bullettracers in the movie per frame.
This part :
string = "bullet_trace"+(_root.Bullettrace_i + a);
with("_root."+string)
does not work. If I try with(_root.Bullettrace_i20) for testing it will trace('hit'); so the problem lays with the string part. I tried several other things and I have no clue what to try next. Anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance.

Inserting Bullets Into XML
Hello Everyone.
I am saving some data into an XML and i need to be able to store bullets in a paragraph and let a user edit those bullets. The paragraphs are a simple text nodes:
<paragraph>I have a paragraph here and here</paragraph>
So my problem is that i know how to turn the whole thing into a bullet but i don't know how to do that with a section that a user picks. If for example they wanted to create a bullet from "paragraph here" - how do i designate the text before and text after to remain a text node 'before' and text node 'after'. Or should i do this in a different way??
Any help or pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Color Of <li> Bullets
I have html content loaded into dynamic text fields from XML.
I was wondering if anyone has been able to change the color of the <li> bullets in flash???
They stay black for me not matter what the textField, textFormat, or CSS properties are....
I can apply CSS in flash to the li tags, but it only effects the text in the li's, not the actual bullets.

Pesky Bullets In Mac Font
I'm looking to see if anyone has experienced a similar problem or found a way around it. Using the Mac version of Flash MX, I have found a dramatic inconsistency with the usage of bullets (option 8) in that sometimes, they get turned into the Y's with the lines through them, and sometimes not. Everytime I think I have figured out the problem, something comes up to shoot down my theory.
The exact same font files, used on two or three different computers running flash MX, produce varying results-- on one computer, all bullets are fine. On one computer, bullets can't be bold-- unbold bullets remain fine. On one computer, it seems nothing works but drawing in circles manually.
What's more troubling is the fact that after opening a file off the bold/non-bold computer on the one that had previously been fine regardless, the previously fine computer adopted the same bold/unbolding problem; this leads me to believe it's a preference of some sort somewhere causing all the headaches. I've searched the manual, the online help, and all the options in the program I can find but can't seem to locate this.
Can anyone tell me the solution to this? Or am I simply losing my mind with all these differences?

Using Bullets And <br> In Txt Fields Dynamically?
i know you can put a bullet at the end of an array using the array.join() AS, but what if i had an array[x] that was lengthy and i wanted to dynamically insert a bullet and/or <br> depending on the length?
so i could do something like this:
Quote:
title
- blah blah blah blah
- slkfjsfdl sfdlksjfdlksfd lksfdkl lkasfd lksfd jaslfdklka
sfdlkj sdflkj sfdlksfdlsfdk asfdlkasfdasfd
- 123132 12321 123 132132
(where the returned text would be aligned nicely next to the bullet above it like microsoft word bullets?)
im using F5.
any ideas? thanks

Plane Game Bullets
I just took the tutorial on how to make objects move from commands. My only questions left are these: 1. how do I set the buttons to use. I tried typing an A where it originally said LEFT, but it did not work.
My next question is how would I get a bullet (im using red lines) to come from the plane. I tried making a movie clip but it would always come from the same spot.
Finally, what is the code to say something like "on (press) (lets say space). I do not know how to do that? Any help? I think this question is the easiest one of them all

Bullets No Problem, But Gifs Are
I have 2 gifs on certain Powerpoint pages and the white gif background stands out, wheras those gif backgrounds were transparent in the original Powerpoint. So, do I have to go through all 24 slides and replace these gif images with vectors? Big job for something that is due tomorrow.
I haven't exported the Flash file with a Powerpoint element yet, but I'm guessing that the animations that were in the Powerpoint file are going to be static now. Am I right?

Shooting Multiple Bullets

[F8] HELP Bullets Stick In Non-English
I've got a text box (using _sans, html on) loading html from xml (utf-16) files and, when I load English text with the <li> tag, it works fine. When I load Russian or Korean text with the <li> tag, the field suddenly marks EVERY line with a bullet and it sticks and I can't make the bullets go away...
HELP!!!!
I attached an fla and several xml files so you can see what I'm talking about. Also, the Korean doesn't display in the field...not sure why. It works in our actual application, but we're loading the xml files using SWF Studio, but we have the same bullet issue...
This has been driving me crazy all weekend, and I'm about to throw in the towel...
Edit: I should clarify, when you select Rus or Kor bullets, the first time it loads, it displays fine. When you load ANY other file (even one with no list tags), it puts all the bullets on the fields...

Limiting Number Of Bullets
This has been an issue to me since I switched to AS3.
PHP Code:
//AS2
count++;
attachMovie("bullet", "bullet" + count, count);
if (count > 20) {
count = 0;
}
This has always been how I limit the number of bullets to prevent lag but I don't know how to do it in AS3.
PHP Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, myfunction);
function myfunction(event:Event) {
if (fire == true) {
var bullet = new bulletmc;
addChild(bullet);
bullet.x = 100;
bullet.y = 100;
}
}
//If I press a button, fire becomes true and if I let go, it becomes false
//Let's pretend the bullets do move
How do I convert the way in AS2 to AS3?

My Bullets Aren't Following My Spaceship
I have another problem... alright, this time the problem is that, when i press the button i set to shoot (or in this case, shift), the bullet appears, but doesn't appear where it should. generally, it appears in the upper left hand corner, where i have the spaceship in the middle left. My code is this:
var i = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var speed;
speedx = 10;
if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)) {
i++;
_root.attachMovie("Bullet","Bullet"+i,_root.getNex tHighestDepth());
_root["Bullet"+i]._x = Ship._x;
_root["Bullet"+i]._y = Ship._y;
}
Ship is the instance name, so it should start right at the ship, but it appears way off!! oh, and as i move, the distance between the two objects seems to get smaller, until at about 3 fourths of the way across the screen, and all the way on the bottom. I have no clue why this is. If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and if you know how to make the bullet appear in a layer underneath my ship, that would be cool, too. Thanks!

Custom Bullets Via Font - NOT Via CSS
Folks,
Pulling my hair out... after much searching I've come to the realization that Flash didn't intend for us to be able to use custom bullets via CSS.
What I'm attempting to do is split/join a string brought in from an external XML file. What I'd like to do is split where I find a <li> and replace it with <span class='check'>R</span>.
In my CSS I define the check class as having font-family: Wingdings 2;
Of course, Flash only displays an "R" where it should be displaying the Wingdings 2 symbol for "R", which happens to be a box with a check in it.
What am I doing wrong? Even trying <font face="Wingdings 2">R</font> in place of the <span...> isn't working.
Thank in advance.
Steve

A similar question was asked on this forum... the answer was go to the Character Map (where is that) or use dynamic text (I tried putting alt0149 in the dynamic text box ??? but it didn't work).
My work-around so far is to copy a similar bullet and add it to the text box. But there must be a quicker way.
Please be clear and state all the steps. Thank you very much.

Shooting Multiple Bullets
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.
...
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)
{
bullet_right_mc.y = (ball_mc.y -38);
bullet_right_mc.x = (ball_mc.x + 253);
bullet_right_mc.gotoAndPlay("shoot");
}
...
Thanks
Ryan

Bulleted List = No Bullets?
I have a dynamic text box that receives text from an xml file. The text has html formatting, and the text box is set to receive html text. The text formats the bulleted list fine, except no bullets show up, just indented text.
I figured I needed to embed the font since it might be a special character, but that hasn't seemed to help. Any ideas?
