I Feel Really Stupid For Asking This...
Ok, here goes.
Iv been learning flash for what? About 2 days now. Done all the tutorials and all that. I can do animations and everything no prob. But I have two questions.
If I wanted to make, say a ball go up and then back down down. That would take 2 frames right? With no animation in the middle. Ok what If I wanted that to continue looping through my movie? I dont like to continually copy and paste. Thanks.
Ok my second question, even worse. My movies are different then everyone elses, in that it just kinda stops whent the bar stops going through the timeline. HELP! I want it to just sit there while you can choose what button you want to push. I dont want the background and such dissapearing before you can do anything. Sure I can paste the frams for like 2000 time line spaces, but something tells me that isnt the most efficient way to do it talk about time consuming.
If I could get some answers on these 2 things I would jump for joy, thanks!

I Feel Stupid
Hi all! I've created a menubar which seem to work well until I add an URL value to one of its buttons. When adding an URL to one of the menubar's button it seems to change the buttons attributes making it no longer fit into the menubar. Now, this happens only when I use MX 2004, I created the same menubar with old MX and it worked fine, but since I've paid for MX 2004....
There is something I'm doing wrong but I dunno what it is.. Can anyone plz help me out?
Check out the menubar @
http://www.tophpromotions.com/ddr/index2.htm
As you can see the BARRACKS and DOWNLOADS button top borders are below the other button borders (happens when I add the URL to the button) like if the image changes height attributes. Why?
Thank you,

I Feel So Stupid...
Well I reformatted my computer a few weeks back, and deleted some very valuable stuff, including a few .fla's that i could really have used.
One of which is : http://www.evolewtion.co.uk/swf/lewis_comingsoon.swf
I know there is a way to 'steal' .fla's but all I want is that file back.. I dont even mind if someone steals it for me, then gives me the link to the .fla .
Am I just wishfully thinking?

I Feel Stupid (about Gradient Fills)
Hehe, guess what, I have used flash mx practically since it came out, and I havent discovered the :::transform gradient fill tool::: untill now, and I just wanted u to know about that in case there was anyone that had been as blind about this feature as me. Its in the toolbox below the brush, and its terrific to make "bevel and emboss" -like gradients and stuff for your grafix.

Preloader Not Working Right - I Feel Stupid...
I have this animated intro for a flash site I'm working on. It's a small animation that has 29 frames, and then stays still when it reaches frame 30, where I have the preloader. The thing is that the little text box where it's supposed to show the percentage, only shows after about 50% of the loading, when it should show up as soon as it hits frame 30. (where I have the loading code)
My AS is:
Code:
//this is on frame 30. The dynamic text box is also on frame 30
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
if (loaded == total) {
gotoAndPlay(32);
} else {
percentagem = percent+"%";
}
//on frame 31
gotoAndPlay(30);
I feel very stupid for not figuring out what's wrong... Can anyone help?

Rollover Conflicts... I Feel Stupid
okay, i put this in actionscript forum because I'd like to find a nice, clean way to maybe script this...
I want to have an image with a rollover effect. when you rollover it a small button will appear (alpha fade in) on top of the image on the lower right. (the button will allow you to click and switch the image essentially).
when you roll off the image the little button should alpha fade away and hide itself.
since the button is on top of the image and they share the same pixels effectively, i'm getting rollOver, rollOut conflicts. in other words you cannot roll onto the little button that appears without triggering the rollOut function which corresponds to the image/clip the little button sits on top of.
so my button strobes when you attempt to mouse over it.
I'm thinking i can use mouse _x and _y or getBounds to determine if the user mouses over the little button along with onEnterFrame or set interval or something but i'm not sure how something like that would look.
any advice? should be easy... brain's kinda fried

Variables Problem ... I Feel Stupid. :confused:
Hellow,
I'm making a paint-like program. I want to draw several shapes on a MC. Depending on the butten that was selected, the user can draw lines, ovals, polygons,... When the user wants to draw I want to check (using a switch) which button has been selected.
So for each button I have this:
on (release) {
action = 1;//so I can test later wether this button is active or not
}
I declared this variable in the first frame of the main movie's timeline.
var action;
I also tried
_global.action;
and on the MC I want to draw I use a switch to determine which button is active.
on (press) {
switch (action) {//See what action should be applied , draw line, square, oval,...
case 1:
trace("line"); //
Color = new Color(_root.canvas); // just teststuff
Color.setRGB(0xff0000); //
break;
case 2:
trace("Straigt line");
Color = new Color(_root.canvas); // same here
Color.setRGB(0x0000ff);
break;
default :
trace("nikske");
Color = new Color(_root.canvas); // and here
Color.setRGB(0x333333);
break;
}
}
Can anyone tell me where I'm wrong? I can't seem to find it.
Just for shure, I'll add the fla.file.
thanks in advance.

Hi - new MX user here.. experienced w/flash 5... what was hardest for you to learn, making the transition to MX?

Stupid Question Before I Take The Time To Learn To Do This
We are frustrated with Captivate's quizzes and would like to do something a little more flashy and maybe not so quirky. But we need the interactive output to be a single swf file to upload to our LMS. If I take the time to learn to create flash quizzes, would the output be a single swf file? These are just reinforcement quizzes before they take the real tests on the LMS system that will be recorded. Please say yes.

No Such Thing As A Stupid Question?
Well Ill just Test that theory right now=)
Im a avid user of flash but Ive never had to actually make a button since I do mostly Movies to watch, so Im having difficulty making this interface because I cant seem to make the damn button work, anyhow what Im doing is, on the press code, Im telling it to get the url http://www.blah.com and Im not sneding variables, because none are needed, and I tried sending it in all ways, top, blank, parent, you get the point... anyhow what it does is goto the internet and then proceeds to tell me that the file is to large to open and it wont do it. So Im curious as to how in the world a damn url page can be to large for Internet explorer?
Anyhow thats the problem, let me know whats the deal and what Im doing wrong.

No Such Thing As A Stupid Question?
Okay... I didn't really want to trawl through the entire site as I'm not a flash user. Is this a US based site?
I'm basically trying to see if I can contact any London-based flash designers who may be interested in some animation work for a project I'm doing.
That's it for now.
Take care...

I Know You Said There's No Such Thing As A Stupid Question But.....
while working on this site, http://www.libertycity.org/NewLook/nu_index.html my machine crashed taking with it most of the .fla scripting that I had done. anyway, I'm back up and running with it, But I cannot make those rollovers work. just the mouse follow part (that big red thing) I did this myself, which means it can't be too difficult. As a matter of fact it has to be a really simple solution, but apparently I mixed just enough savant with my idiot to stump myself.

Animation Not Displaying, I'm Sure It's A Stupid Little Thing : )
I'm trying to create a simple movie that will continuously show 5 text phrases, one at a time, fading them in and out. My plan is to create each phrase as an individual movie clip symbol, and create an instance of each one in each frame of scene 1.
In other words, my main movie only has 5 frames, each containing a separate instance...got it? Ok, here's the problem:
Each clip seems to be fine by itself, but doesn't display when I test the entire movie. If I play a clip through the library, it looks fine. I create an instance of the same clip and nothing.
First off, am I approaching this the right way? If so, what could it be?
If I have a series of frames (say 5), will each frame play its entire animation before advancing to the next? The symbol in frame 1 is a clip w/ 70 frames. Will Flash (MX) automatically play all 70 before going to the second frame of the main movie, or will the main scene play at its 12 fps?
please help.
thanks,
t.

Hmmm...no Such Thing As A Stupid Question In Here Huh?
Ok
Imagine that someone approached you who knew nothing whatsoever about Windows Word...but he wanted to make a letterhead, and that was all he wanted to do...nothing else! ..Ok now I could show him how to do that...I would think that maybe him not wanting to know about anything else Word had to offer meant that maybe he was missing out on a lot...but still I could tell/show him how to do make his letterhead. Getting the picture?
Ok...now I make cd autorun menus...I make quite a lot of them...and in my own limited way I am quite good at making them with the software I am accustomed to using (Style Skin & Autorun Maestro)
But I want to make FLASH cd autorun menus.
I AM fairly fluent in photoshop....
I HAVE software that can make sexy flash buttons...
I CAN import and place them in Flash MX....
But thats it.....now what I would love to be able to do is to be able to run commands from those sexy buttons...to...for example run .exe files...open specific file formats on command...open specific folders on the cd rom...in other words make a cd autorun menu in flash, but i know next to nothing about flash...and though this might sound like heresy on a forum like this...i dont really want to learn the depths and intricasies of flash...jusy enough to make my cd autorun menus....
Now as I was saying...if a Joe came up to me and asked me to explain in language that a dummy would understand...how to make a letterhead in Word...I think I could tell/show him how to do that in a fairly uncomplicated straightforward way...knowing that he had had NO UNDERSTANDING of the language of Word at all...
Now what do you think my chances are of finding out what I would like to know in a similar manner...
Grateful thanks and link to my ftp site for drop dead georgeous high res' stock photo images to anyone who can be bothered to take the time to inform me about this.
sigh...hope springs eternal.....

I REALLY need help with this. This is my first time using flash and i downloaded the trial version of adobe CS3 flash. I tried to follow the directions in this site http://www.smartwebby.com/Flash/phot...s.asp#adv_mask
...but yea...I basically got really lost after the simple photo masking. I tried many times doing the advanced one, i had all the arrows and stuff but whenever i tired testing it, it doesn't work. It's just blank, then a flash of the picture really quickly then blank for a longer period of time then the picture. Please help me out!!! I'm doing this for a non-profit website.

Change Picture In Banner Function, Thing A Majig.
So I'm helping a friend, or trying to, who needs me to take an .fla and add the ability to change an image on the main layer when one of the navigation buttons is pressed. Easy enough, but I don't know CS3 enough to figure out how...I understand classes / functions to a very novice extent. So, any suggestions? Here is my current code, which works, in making the site change pages etc.
Code:
this.menuBox_mc.appetizer_menu_btn.buttonMode = true;
this.menuBox_mc.lunch_menu_btn.buttonMode = true;
this.menuBox_mc.dinner_menu_btn.buttonMode = true;
//this.menuBox_mc.dessert_menu_btn.buttonMode = true;
this.menuBox_mc.coffee_menu_btn.buttonMode = true;
this.menuBox_mc.martini_menu_btn.buttonMode = true;
this.menuBox_mc.martini_menu_btn.useHandCursor = true;
this.menuBox_mc.home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handleMenuClick);

ARGGHH I'm Gonna Rip My Hair Out This Stupid Thing Won't Work
!!HELP!! I'm working on my site at the min, and i've got like a little control box that i can mute the sounds, return to the main menu, and exit from, The one causing the most problems is the one that goes to the main menu, which is on Frame 318.
The control box is actually a movie clip with STOP on frame 1, and the main menu button is a button inside the movie clip. So, when i double click the MC (control box one) and check the actions of the main menu button, i have
Code:
on (press) {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", 318);
}
So i don't see whats wrong with it?! Please, if anyone can help with this, i would be sooo grateful cos i've been racking my brains trying to figure out whats wrong with it, and it's just driving me mad!!

Where Do I Learn How To Make Something Like This?
I would like to make a boardgame like the one on this site (URL below) called "Albert Squares" which involves rolling a die for values and sending a counter round a board, opening up different consequences based on what square you land on.
Please could someone tell me how it's done and/or point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial -

I Would Like To Learn How To Make This AS More Object-oriented
Hello all,
I've made a fractal generator in Flash.
It basically creates 3 MovieClips, each having 3 little squares (joined together by a couple of lines), which become your way of manipulating the shape of the fractal.
The fractal is then drawn depending on the coordinates of these little squares. I don't think it's necessary to go into further detail on how the fractal is actually generated (if anyone wants, I can explain).
Would anyone mind looking at my code and seeing how I can improve it? I don't mean improve the functionality of the program, but improving how it is coded (the program as it stands does exactly what I want it to do, but probably not in the most OO way).
The reason I made this flash file was to try and do some OO stuff. I don't think it's quite there, and the movieclips confused me somewhat.
Oh, it's Flash 8 and all done in AS.
Come on guys, download the zip file and rip into my code, I'm all ears and I want to know what I've done wrong and what I could've done better. I want to learn OOP in Flash so please don't be shy with the criticisms

I´d Like To Make A Question For Those Who Are Starting To Learn Flash
Hello everybody!
I live in Brazil, and I teach web design and I have a Flash course in this college.
I´d like to know what are the most difficult thinks about Flash, in your point of view.
I know it´s very hard to make a good and eficient layout (and I think that´s the only thing that matters), and for web designers in Brazil its even more difficult because most of us are not well paid. I also know that it´s hard to reach an advanced scripting skill, but that wasn´t my point...
For you, who are starting to learn, what is - was difficult?
Thanx for all posts, in my name and in the name of all my puppils.

Help Me Learn How To Make An Object Move Using Actionscript.
Need the basic script for this so i can get an idea of this so called object oriented scripting and understand it. I know it uses x / y types of scripting to move an object.
Can someone please write me the actionscript of the following that i can stick on the first frame and the object instance name will be ball:
- Move the ball from stationary to the right
- Move the ball from stationary to up
How do you make it move with a swing like a baseball curve from the pitcher to the golve and also like the ball starts off slow then quickly to get to the final destination of x or y co-ordinates.

Simple Mp3 Thing
I am trying to create a real simple mp3 playing movie .... i just want to be able to click a button and the mp3 loads and plays, and when i click the same button again, it goes off (it would be great if it could fade out). Whatever I do, the button always loads and plays the mp3 over and over again on top of itself.
Also, is there a way to load the mp3 without playing it, so it kind of preloads before i want it to start playing? Because it seems that loading and playing at the same time seems to "halt" the movie for a couple of seconds while it loads up the mp3. So it would be good if it loaded before i actually want it to play, so clicking to start the song would start it instantly ...
Thanks in advance!
