I Feel Stupid

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!

[F8] I Feel Really Stupid Asking This...
I've been working on a website in flash and I must have accidentally changed an option while working on it. Now, when I rotate an object it rotates differently. It seems as though its rotating 3-Dimensionally.

Ive tryed everything but nothing works
any help would be appreciated

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,
Toph1980

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 Asking This But I Am Amazed

And The movement looks cool is there any example out there? This is my new mission to learn this. I hope someone can help.

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.

I Feel Stupid Asking This... But... (aliased Fonts)
How do you force text to stay aliased in FlashMX?

I'm using a small pixelfont.. but no matter what I do.. it still comes out antiailased and you can barely read it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

LocalToGlobal - I Dont Get It And Feel Fairly Stupid
i need to translate some coords from an mc to the main stage so i can position something correctly but i cant for the life of me get localToGlobal to work for me. i checked the flash 5 bible and it had very little to say about it. i cant find any tutes and im just sorta stuck. any help at all would be appreciated. maybe ill figure it out again before anyone replies... lol. yesterday i posted a Q and then found the A like 2 seconds afterwards. anyway, like you care.

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.

Stupid Question Coming From Stupid Newb...
Yeah, I know this is probably the stupidest question you're ever going to here, but I'm desperate and I can't find out anywhere, so as embarassing as it is, this is my last resort.

How do you increase or decrease the thickness of lines in Flash MX?

Stupid Workspace Changing After I Save It (Or Stupid Me)
I have a dual-monitor setup and I have my timeline, stage, and properties panel on one monitor. That's all fine.

On the other monitor, I have the actions panel in one group and about 3 panels grouped into another group. The actions panel takes up the left 2/3 of the screen and the other panels take up the right 1/3 of the screen. That works fine.

I want to switch the actions panel with the other group of panels, so that the actions is on the right 2/3 of the screen and the other group of panels are on the left 1/3 of the screen. Problem is when I save my workspace layout, it somehow defaults the actions to the left side of teh screen and the other panels to the right side of the screen! It's driving me crazy. Anyone have any tips? Run into similar problems?

---

[F8] I Feel Bad Even Asking This...
This is such a stupid question, but I'm having a brain-lapse, and I can't find the answer ANYWHERE in the "Help" documentation in Flash...

I just need to know how to put double-quotes (") into a text field when populating it dynamically via actionscript. I know there's some "code", but I can't remember what it is. Thanks!...

Let Me Know How You Feel
So this is the thing, my latest project: http://www.trotamexico.com is a web community dedicated to travel experiences through Mexico. Beware if you do not understand spanish (I'm working on the translations) bu if you do or you're the daredevil type try and register cause the user area is the one developed in flash. It emulates the window desktop with dragable icons (double click on them) and windows that remember where they were left.
So let me know what you guys think.

Cheers,

Anyone Feel Like There On A Roll?
- It's my first time asking about a preloader question so please forgive me. I'm having alot of problems & just can't seem to figure this out.

- my problem is; when viewing the movie on a 56k modoem. The intro starts to play. When the intro is finished the preloader kicks in. The preloader automaticly jumps from 0% to 50%, then its stuck there at 50%. When the main movie is about 95% loaded the preoloader jumps from 50 percent to 100 percent. There is no inbetween percentages. Id like the preloader to run smothly from 0% to 100%.
Does anyone know how I can acomplish this?

HERE IS THE CODE FOR THE PRELOADER

- FIRST FRAME
if (_root._framesloaded == _root.totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay ("main", "startmain");
} else {
loadMovieNum ("intro.swf", 1);
}

- SECOND FRAME
stop ();

-THIRD FRAME
If (_root._framesloaded == _root.totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay ("main", "startmain");

-FOURTH FRAME
framesLoaded = _level0._framesloaded;
totalFrames = _level0._totalframes;
percentLoaded = Math.round ((framesLoaded/totalFrames)*100 );
bar._xscale = percentloaded;

-FIVTH FRAME
if (framesLoaded == totalFrames) {
gotoAndPlay ("main", 1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("preloaderloop");
}


Thank you
Cyborgyin

I Feel Dumb... Please Help.
Hello,

I'm extremely new to flash, and have been trying to get text to appear in my movie. Apparently I have to do more than just type the text into the movie. I've tried embedding the text (probably incorrectly), and it does not work.

I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I am missing something obvious. The text shows up in my browser once the movie is published, but no one elses. Please help!!!

I've attached the fla. doc.

Feel Foolish
Hey folks, i'm still getting my feet wet with navigation and have run into a stumbling block. I'm working with layers, and have run into a situation with buttons still remaining active on layer 0 when there is an external swf on top of it on layer 2

How can I turn off the buttons on layer 0?

Please..

---

I Feel So Limited...
Okay - I'm trying to program a simple effect:

roll over a button and it fades by 50%. Roll out and ot fades back to 100%

I'm using the following script that does the opposite of what I want:


Code:
if (Number(_level0:x) == 1 and Number(al)<100) {
al = Number(al)+5;
} else if (Number(al)>0) {
al = al-5;
}
gotoAndPlay(2);


I thought I'd be able to just "reverse engineer" this so to speak, but I can't figure it out. Anybody lend a helping hand?

I've attached the file I've been using as a reference that does the OPPOSITE of what I'm trying to do.

Cheers

Feel Like A Dummy...
Hi guys,

Upgraded from MX to Flash Pro - want to make a 'Skip Intro' button and can't get it to work.

Simply want to jump to the last frame of the scene and that's all. I could do this with my eyes closed in MX. Please help. Thx!

This error comes up all the time:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=SKIP intro, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
gotoAndStop(200);

I Feel Bad, Cuz I'm Such A Newb....
i feel bad because i always come onto this forum whenever i have some flash project to do, and i'm usually in hysterics about some easy-to-do thing (and because it's usually so obvious to most people, few tutorials bother going into the details i need). I have zero flash advice to offer anyone else due to my severe flashtardation, but if someone can tell me how to make a page open up in a separate browser window (see my previous q about linking, in which David Stiller helped a lot), I could try to help you with a NON flash query that relates to either 1) anything Legend of Zelda or 2) relationships (my friends call me the Sage), or 3) cats (wow, do I sound like the opposite of a herb or WHAT?)

:D

Application Look And Feel
I am trying to launch a borderless window and create my own border within the flash.swf. (Flash MX) That way I can have a true application look and feel. Any suggestions of how to do this? I would greatly appreciate it.

Ok Now I Really Feel Dumb...
ok I was using the code for falling snow for an auto movie_mc dropper so that I could have another person_mc catch them and gain points, well I added one that if you caught it you would have to restart and now every time I go to do the restart option it errors out and requests that I abort the script.

any Ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?

I Almost Feel Guilty Asking This
I almost feel guilty asking this because its so similar to the last question. (But its not)

I have a series of images stored on my server labeled in numeric order

http://www.sergprotector.com/U2XS/im...s/cell1img.jpg
all the way through
http://www.sergprotector.com/U2XS/im...s/cell8img.jpg

So I created this for loop to create the links for each button. cell1 - cell8 are supposed to be linked to their corresponding images. But in the end they are all linked to cell8's image. This is the same problem I had before but since I am not reffering from an array it is not the same. HOW DO I MAKE A FOR LOOP MEMORIZE IT'S PLACE?? Thanks again guys. I know it can be annoying answering the same questions but I need the help!

Quote:




//DECLARE BUTTON PROPERTIES
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
_root.field["cell" + i].onPress = function() {
_root.field.imgLoader.loadMovie("http://www.sergprotector.com/U2XS/images/flashThumbnails/cell" +[i] +"img.jpg")
};




P.S. Special thanks to the Canadian! I didn't want to ask you to do it again, so I posted a new thread, but you've bailed me out plenty

I Feel Abandoned
Is there not anyone out there that can tell me fairly simply and straightforwardly how to make my video clip loop.

I am a newbie and would really appreciate someone holding my hand. I started a thread in connection with the video looping but it has been ignored over the last few days.

Many thanks in anticipation

I'm An IDIOT, So Come Feel Like A Genius And Help Me With
http://www.rit.edu/~drl9292/thesis/drag_game.html

Here's a stupid game I'm trying to make. You're supposed to take the dots above the names and drag them to the correct character. Once complete, hit the "submit" button which will send you either to a "You're right" scene or a "Try again" scene (nope, not "Teletubbies"...they're "Sell-a-tubbies").

I previously had a lot of text here before, but now here's what I want: to click the "submit" button and have a test performed that checks to make sure that each dot is placed correctly on the right Tubbie. If all 4 Dots are correct, then it goes to the next scene. I'm not doing it right (but I'm new to coding, so hopefully it's something obvious/easy).

I am setting up tje variables on the first frame of the main movie that's supposed to find the _X position of each dot (instances named "nodeA1", "nodeA2", etc. which are MCs resting on the first frame). As such:

-------------------------------------------------------

var test1
var test2
var test3
var test4

test1 = _root.nodeA1._x
test2 = _root.nodeA2._x
test3 = _root.nodeA3._x
test4 = _root.nodeA4._x

-------------------------------------------------------

Then I have this "test" coded on the "submit" button which rests on the same frame as the nodes:

-----------------------------------------------------

on (release) {
if (test1 == 133 && test2 == 248 && test3 == 353 && test4 == 477) {
gotoAndPlay (nextScene);
}
}

--------------------------------------------------------

Is my "IF" statement correct? How do I word it so that all 4 tests must be each equal to their respective _X coordinates in order to proceed to the goto statement?

Are my variables set up correctly? I don't know anything...just read the book this morning.

THanks a lot!

Repeated Style And Feel....
I cant help noticing how alot of higher end website designs have a very similiar look such as font... and beveled windows etc... Even down to a new dotted pattern that runs through tabs and graphics. I was wondering if designers are using a certain component set or skin filters or what... Is there a certain web design package which has tool to create these nice and smooth looking graphics?.. Thanks...

Help With Buttons... I Feel Like A Newb...
I am working on the interface for my site, and I got done with the nav bar, fully confident that it would work. Tested it, and found an error with my buttons. Apparently you can't use effects from two buttons placed on top of each other... Hard to explain, just look.
http://www.seenew.net/onsetTesting/onsetIndex.html

I want the menu to drop down when you roll over "navigation" but when it does, the hit area for the button that keeps the nav bar down (while your mouse is over it) covers the hit areas of the actual buttons that I need to use! You can see, the rollover effect that was intended is not working now...

Any ways I can correct this? Or another method?

I cna upload the .fla...

Dot Notation, And I Feel Silly...
Ok, so i got a thing where you press a button, and it plays a movie clip. depending on which button you press, a different movie clip will play. so igot something like:

on (release){
movieclip="movie1";
}

and then in another place i got:

movieclip.play();

but that doesnt work. however, this DOES work...

telltarget(movieclip){
play();
}

so i could use that but tell target is nasty and depreciated. what am i doing wrong? it seems so simple to me.....

thanks in advance. sorry for the stupidity

---

I Feel Like A Complete Idiot For Asking This...but.
_root.b1.onRelease = function(){
_root.trans.back = false;
_root.trans.play();
nextMc="pic1a.swf";


if the instance of b1 ( a button) is no longer inside of the root file but instead in a menu movie, which is in a single frame within the main time line,

how do i call that b1 in the root directory action script?

I Feel Mentally Handicapped
I have a pretty nested/complex MC and I am having trouble referencing an instance and getting it to play. I am trying to use the MovieClip.onRollOver() and have the parent MC play a nested MC. The MC i want to play isnt even that deep, its absloute path is this:

_root.menu_MC.button_MC.play();
The code im using is in a action frame on the main timeline right now. I tried attaching it to the MC its self, no go.

clickBtn.onRollOver = function () {
trace("wtf");
_root.Menu_MC.button_MC.play();
}
I know it has something to do with the path of the MC and instance name because i have changed the MC which the onRollOver references to differnt MCs and it has run the Trace but not the Play function. I've checked the instance names dozens of times, changed them and cleared them.

I think it might have something to do with the button_mc parent, the movie_mc. It's tweend and the button_mc dosent show up untill the last frame.

Wow I Feel Like Im Learning Flash All Over Again [CS3]
Ok so back when flash 5, MX and flash 8 where around, i barely squeeked by with my lack of knowledge of action script and now with fancy CS3 its not working anymore.


Something that used to be sooo easy is now soo difficult because i never took the time to learn actionscript, soo.

Whats the easyest way for me to do this and if possible can i still do it from the comfort of AS2?

I have a movie clip that consists of animated buttons. I want those buttons to refrence the root timeline that the movie clip is on. I know i can no longer go in and apply actions to the buttons themselves, but what do i need to do so that i can, make those buttons go to and stop on the next frame of my root timeline (if this makes any sense).

I get a big project in the works and i can make it look good, but making it function properly is giving me a headache!!!


Thanks Guys and any examples i can download and pick apart would really help!!!!!

I Feel Dumb Tonight
All I want to do is have a dynamically attached movieclip(using a class) have a rollOver. The problem I think is that the attached clip is being attached inside a movieClip that resides within another movieClip...


Code:
thumbnail_container["film_container"+i].attachMovie("thumb_area","thumb_area"+i,film_container[i].getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:2.5,_y:9.5});
the "thumb_area" clip has the class and it looks like this:


Code:
class Thumb extends MovieClip{
function Thumb(){
onRollOver = function(){
trace("boom!");
}
}
}
The thing is, if I add the Thumb class to the "film_container" clip, them the rollOver works, even though it's also inside a movieClip (thumbnail_container)

what the hell am I doing wrong

Xml & Flash... So Close I Can Feel It
help!

I've got this code:

Code:
//xml catalog
stop();
//create new xml object
cat_xml = new XML();
cat_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
//set variables for thumbnail spacing
var columns=4;
var thumb_spacing = 75;
//set .onLoad function for when xml loads
cat_xml.onLoad = function (success)
{
if (success)
{trace(this);
trace(this.status);
menuItems = cat_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i=0; i<menuItems.length; i++) {
item = _root.holder.attachMovie("itemClip", "itemClip" + i, i);
var columns=4;
item._x = (i%columns)*thumb_spacing;
item._y = Math.floor(i/columns)*thumb_spacing;
thumbtoload = menuItems[i].attributes.thumb;
var viewtoload = menuItems[i].attributes.view;
var largeviewtoload = menuItems[i].attributes.largeview;
trace(viewtoload);
trace(largeviewtoload);
item.lilimage.loadMovie(thumbtoload);
nameText = menuItems[i].attributes.name;
infoText = menuItems[i].firstChild.nodeValue;

//item.onRollOver = function(){item.anim.gotoAndPlay("over");};
//item.onRollOut = function() {item.anim.gotoAndStop("up");};
//set .onRelease function for when user clicks thumbnail
item.onRelease = function() {
descriptions.name.text = nameText;
descriptions.info.text = infoText;
_root.image.loadMovie(viewtoload);
}}}}

//trigger xml load
cat_xml.load("catalog.xml");
and this xml:

Code:
<catalog>
<item name="Mommy" thumb="images/mommysml.jpg" view="images/mommymed.jpg" largeview="images/mommylrg.jpg">This is my mommy she is the best! i love her so much! She takes good care of me!

</item>
<item name="Grandpa P" thumb="images/grandpapsml.jpg" view="images/grandpapmed.jpg" largeview="images/grandpaplrg.jpg">This is my Grandpa P. He lives in the insane asylum. Don't make any sudden moves!

</item>
<item name="Grandma P" thumb="images/grandmapsml.jpg" view="images/grandmapmed.jpg" largeview="images/grandmaplrg.jpg">This is my Grandma P! She is excited to have me for a grandkid! She loves to read me stories!

</item>
</catalog>
the thumbnails populate the mc correctly, all the variables trace correctly (the arrays from the xml), but when you click on a thumbnail it keeps loading the very last childnode's image and text. I'm sure it's something simple that i'm overlooking cuz i'm relatively new to xml with flash...

thanks for any input!!

I Know What The Problem Is... And Thats Why I Feel Dumb Lol
hey I have just started using the document class and I am now migrating towards full OOP w/no timeline this week. Its not easy though, and I'm beginning to have some problems that I am bumping into. I understand that this is a custom class, so I must import everything I use, and declare everything public/private etc... but I can't seem to figure out why I keep getting this error


Code:
line 22 - 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event
Am I forgetting to import an event?



Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.Event.*;
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;

public class SpaceSciro extends MovieClip
{
public function SpaceSciro():void
{
trace("Con-FUNCTION - SpaceSciro - Document Class 1.0 has been loaded!");

this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onStageResize);
}

private function onStageResize(e:Event):void
{
trace("Pri-FUNCTION - onStageResize - hello world");
}
}
}
thank you! for taking the time to help me

Ipod Feel Slider
Hi,

I'm making a website with a slider in the top.
I want to make a slider just like a ipod touch (iphone) feel.
You know when you are in your contacts.
So if you slide it slowly, it will move slowly.

Can someone help me out?

Gr Dragon

Edit:
I know i can use the tween(easing) function in AS3.
