Flash :: How Can I Make This?

Trying To Make A Formula To Make My Stickman's Head Adjust To The Direction He Moves
Ok, im making a little "walk around" movie clip...

you click he moves...

heres my .fla for the 2nd (main) question
My .Fla

I have 2 questions

the simple one first

Question 1 how do I flip an image, in the Graphic interface of flash pro 8, you can go to modify - transform, and flip it CCW + 90, CW + 90, or flip it horizontally or vertically, how can I do this in actionscript? my animation's name is "man"

Main Question

How do I write a formula to adjust my guys head so when he goes "left" or right, his head is thinner, (like your looking on him sideways)

and when he goes up/down, to be bigger so basically

when he's going up and down his head width is about 20-30, and when he's going left/right, its about 5-10

I've been trying for about 1 and a half hours, with no success

all my code:

Code:
var TargetX:Number = 200;
var TargetY:Number = 150;
var man_height:Number = man._height;
var man_width:Number = man._width;
var head_width:Number = man.head._width;
var head_height:Number = man.head._height;
var head_x:Number = man.head._x;

function clicked_spot()
{
TargetX = _xmouse-man_width;
TargetY = _ymouse-man_height;
}

function move_man()
{
man.head._width = 10;
//man.head._x = 20

if (TargetX > man._x-20)
{
man._x += 1;
}
else if(TargetX < man._x-20)
{
man._x -= 1;
}
if (TargetY > man._y-5)
{
man._y += 1;
}
else if(TargetY < man._y-5)
{
man._y -= 1;
}
}
setInterval(move_man, 10);
ground.onRelease = clicked_spot;
thanks in advance

How To Make A Movie Clip Button I.e. Make It Click-able
i followed the tutorial for making animated buttons by using movie clips instead of button symbols. now i don't know how to make them click-able. this is probably pretty basic, but i'm new to flash and i'm getting pretty frustrated trying figure things out by myself (no programming experience here, although i did buy the flash bible). i'm using flash mx 2004.

any pointers on how to do this would awesome. thanx a ton.

Make One Box Move On Roll Over, Make Other Box Move On Click
Okay here's the story: I have one box that moves the way I want it to on roll over, moves over my nav buttons and stays over them after you click one of them. The clicked button becomes where the box snaps back to. I have another box that I want to stay where it is until you click on a button. If you click on a button the box will move under the button that I have clicked on. Every attempt so far to get the second box to do that usually negates the other box's ability to do anything. Please, any help or suggestions?

Do You Need To Make Graphics For Your Flash Before You Make Your Flash.
I'm just wondering about this because im kinda confused about it.
I just kinda got more into making graphics off of adobe about a week ago.

Can't Make A Right-click Menu? Make A Middle-click Menu
Since so many people are always wanting to make a context menu that appears at the mouse position, and because it's such a pain to get rid of the flash right-click menu (and the methods i've seen are not cross browser) I decided to go about finding a way to make a middle-click menu. Most mice these days have a mousewheel and the vast majority of those mousewheels also act as a 3rd button if you push down on them. So here is the result of my labor. A way to detect the middle mouse up and down actions in Flash.

Code:
Mouse.toggle = false;
setInterval(TestMidMouse, 40);
function TestMidMouse() {
if (asNative(800, 2)(4) == true && Mouse.toggle == false) {
Mouse.broadcastMessage("onMidMouseDown");
Mouse.toggle = true;
} else if (asNative(800, 2)(4) == false && Mouse.toggle == true) {
Mouse.toggle = false;
Mouse.broadcastMessage("onMidMouseUp");
}
}
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onMidMouseDown = function() {
trace("middle button down");
};
myListener.onMidMouseUp = function() {
trace("middle button up");
};
Mouse.addListener(myListener);
In case you're wondering, asNative is an undocumented feature of flash. It refers to the native function table that resides in the flash player. asNative(800, 2)(4) returns true or false depending on weather the middle mouse is down or up respectively. FYI, replacing the 4 with other numbers activates for other buttons (including keyboard keys). 1 is left click, 2 is right click, 3 doesn't seam to do anything, 4 is the middle mouse button, 5 is a 4th mouse button if mouse has one. Here is the most extensive reference for the asNative function that I have found. I suppose you could do the same thing with Key.isDown(), but messing with undocumented stuff is so much cooler .

If anybody does know a way to get rid of flashes right-click menu, reliably and across multiple browsers please post it here because this method could easily be converted into right-click detection.

How To Make Something Like This?
http://www.pensioengatpeiler.nl/media/flash.swf

I have to make a kind of thing for a company.
Does anyone have a clue to make something like this?
Does anyone have a tutorial, FLA, or example?
I`m not a very good actionscripter.......

Thanks!

How Can I Make Something Like This...
Hi
I'm going to make an swf with 2 buttons for viewers to choose from in scene 1 and then say, if button 1 is clicked, scene 2 will start and then scene 3; if button 2 is clicked, scene 2 & scene 4 will start in sequence.

In this case, the buttons determine whether scene 3 or 4 would come out, they have little to do with scene 2 because scene 2 must start after one of the buttons clicked.

My question is, what script should I use to make flash know whether scene 3 or 4 should start after scene 2 finish playing?

Thanks

How To Make
hello,
scoured the board but couldn't find exactly my poblem...
I want to make a navigation system that loads movies for the different sections, as well as nav button/movieclips that display their "down" state when the section they
represent is active. I've gotten a portion working with the following code:
function sectLoad (i) {
targetClip = "nav"+i;
loadClip = "sec"+i;
sectionNow = "sect"+i;
set (sectionNow, true);
loadMovie (sections, _root.loadClip);
_root.targetClip.gotoAndStop(4);
//
trace ("targetClip = "+targetClip);
trace ("loadClip = "+loadClip);
trace ("sectionNow = "+sectionNow);
trace ("sect0 = "+sect0);
trace ("sect1 = "+sect1);
trace ("sect2 = "+sect2);
trace ("sect3 = "+sect3);
trace ("sect4 = "+sect4);
trace ("sect5 = "+sect5);
}
// set the section # and nav state
message._visible = false;
var sect0 = false;
var sect1 = false;
var sect2 = false;
var sect3 = false;
var sect4 = false;
var sect5 = false;
var sections = new Array("overview.swf", "composer.swf", "bandleader.swf", "pianist.swf", "jukebox.swf");
var i = 0;
sectLoad(i);
stop ();
I am loading swfs into separate mc's but would like only the active section visible...wondering if anyone else has tried this? i can mail the files if needed.
thanks,
charlie

Did Anybody Try To Make
OK, let me clarify that. We all know that it's possible to re-skin a component by changing the assets for buttons, sliders etc. That's NOT what I'm talking about.

I'm thinking of adding fundamentally new functionality to an existing component.

I'm interested in taking a calendar component and be able to hilight a set of days in a specific color (vacation days), or put an icon next to the day number or whatever. You could use this to build a calendar that hilights all days where you have a reoccurring meeting or stuff like that.

I think this is not possible with the current calendar component.

I've tried to poke around in the code a bit, but I quickly gave up. This is pretty complex action script in there...

Soooo, is there some way to - dunno - subclass a component and then make such changes? Or is there a calendar out there that does what I need?

Thanks,

Make A
Hello, I have a button which triggers an MC to go play once mouseovered. How can I make the MC advance to the next frame and play once the button on the root timeline is 'mouseouted'.

However, its a little more complex than that. In order for it to work I don't want it to gotoAndPlay a frame everytime the mouse scrolls over and out. Then it cuts to the end of the animation. Is there a way with action script to make it recognise a mouseout from the root timeline once on a certain frame of the MC.

eg, (once accelerated to fr 20 - code on frame 20) when

_root.button.mouseout
tell target mc gotoandplay

complicated. Sorry I can't explain it better.

HELP How To Make.......
I'm Stuck!!

I'm trying to have a MAIN movie load other movies (movie1, movie2,...) externally, and when they are done playing, they signal the MAIN movie to go back to a frame and reload again.

I've tried to put this in the very last frame of the movies:

Code:
stop();
_root.done = true;
then I put this in the MAIN movie:

frame label:loadHere(I KNOW this part works.)

Code:
// --- GET RANDOM MOVIE CODE
num = Math.ceil(random(3)); //- random # out of 3, rounded down.
ad = "movie"+num+".swf"; //- This will get movie#.swf; (# is a num).
loadMovie(ad, "holderMC"); //- load the movie into my empty holderMC.
// ------------------------------
Then, a few frames later, I check for the signal from the external movie:
frame label:check

Code:
stop();
if (_root.done == "true") {
gotoAndPlay("Unload");
}
this should go to the frame called "Unload". BUT IT DOESN'T!

PLEASE HELP!!

Make It Go Away
I've been trying for 3 days now to make a MC disappear but with no luck.

see, i have a MC that i spawn multiple instances of and i want to disappear when it hits a different MC.

it sounds simple, but i've tried "this.removeMovieCLip; , removeMovieClip, this.gotoAndPlay(2) //where frame 2 is nothing but an empty keyframe, gotoAndPlay(2)... nothing seems to work... or it may for the original clip, but not for those that have been duplicated... is there a nice simple way to do a hitTest and remove MC that covers both the original and the spawned versions?

thanks

I Need To Make Something...
I need to make something for my friend's busness. They need a table like thing that is 10 rows long, 1 table for current items and another for sold, maybe a 3rd for misc.

I was gonna use 3 tabs to open up each section. What I need help with is the following:

1. When someone clicks on a tab and it takes them to the frame with all the data of the tab, how can I make it so when you click the word thats written on the tab it'll go into an imput box, then when clicked away looks like normal text so someone can change it anytime.

2. I need a button to add an entire row with 10 columns to the bottom of the existing ones. Each column will need to be editable so they can add anything to it.

3. I need a way to save everything that has changed. Like the tab's labels and what is in each row/columns, including any new columns someone makes. I'm assuming it would have to save it in the var=text type format cause when it loads up, it'll use a text file to get all the information from.

4.Almost forgot, I need to make every row (all 10 columns of 1 row) to be able to move form 1 tab to the other. By a button maybe, you click it and it'll copy everything from that row, delete it and move it to another tab's next row.

Does anyone mind helping me out with this? I'm not very good with action scripting. Also, I will be saving this out as a projector(.exe) so is there anything special I will need to consider?

Sorry if it sounds like I am basicly having you guys make the program, I'm not selling it or anything, its just a favor for a good friend. If no one helps I'll understand, since its alot of **** I'm asking and I will continue to attempt on my own.

Make EXE
How can i turn my flash moive into an exe file, i have tried the projector thing but it justs opens the flash player not movie, please help as i need to put it onto a CD to autorun the flash player files are invalid and do not work?

Can You Make 17,96 Out Of 17.96?
Hi,

In the order form I'm designing, I make calculations that are displayed in textfields as "17.96" and "18".

The thing is, that those values are meant to be financial... what code does it take to convert "17.96" into "17,96" and how do I add ",00" in case the number is a round number like "18"?

As an example, one of the calculations code is the following:
var myStringYear = String(perMonth.text*12);
perYear.text = myStringYear;

Thanx for your help!!
