Flash :: Line Continuation In Actionscript?

Continuation Of Last Part Of Post
ok it works fine when loaded externally into the movie clip but that swf which it has been loaded into has alos been externally loaded into
another swf files.
if u need a diagram i sorta do sumiit here

Main interface

Externally loads this file here

thats file then laods another file into another movie clip (no probs so far)

but then that file also loads an external file and using the code i was given it loads the file into the main interface lol

I have tried to resolve this myself by first changing the name of the last movie clip to Content1 so the script became

on (release) {
_root.Content1.loadMovie("War_conflict.swf");
}

I have a feeling the problem lies in the _root part of the code.
Im not very good with actionscript so I don't really have any idea on where to go myself.
any advice would be great, Thx in advance for help.

Is Actionscript Processed Sequential (line By Line)?
Ok, so long story short, I have a loop that fills three different arrays. As soon as the loop finishes, on the next line, a function is called that loads dynamic images into movie clips. However, this isn't working as I thought. Instead, the function is being called at the same time as the loop is running. Therefor, the first few images don't show up and I get undefined errors. However, if I delay the function being called by 50ms, I don't get the error. This means that it is a timing problem and that flash is executing the loop and the function call at the same time.

Does anybody have any experience/advice on what or why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also, my entire movie is implemented using actionscript in the first frame of the movie.

This Is A Continuation On "advanced Question"
i finally did it but it works funny, look

Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var maxNum = 10;
var num = 1;
for (a=1; a<=maxNum; a++) {
for (b=1; b<=maxNum; b++) {
_root.jaap.duplicateMovieClip (""+num, num);
_root[""+num]._x = a*100;
num++;
}
}
}

and

Code:
onClipEvent(load){
picpath = "images/picture";
picnum = this._name;
picext = ".jpg";
pic = (picpath+picnum+picext);
loadMovie (pic,this.holder);
}

the second code loads the .jpg and the first code does the duplicating. in the first code you see "maxNum = 10;",this sets the amount of clips duplicated. when i set it on 2 it loads 2 .jpg's on 3 it loads 3 .jpg's but on 5 it loads 1 or 2 so it doesn't work 100% right.

does anyone see what i'm trying to do.
can anyone help out.

thanx

Draw A Line From X To Y With Actionscript?
Hi there new friends!

Is it possible to add a snippet of code which draws a line from point 1 to point 2, according to variable coordinates.

I want a funcion looking like this, kinda;

drawLine(p1_X,p1_Y,p2_X,p2_Y,COLOR_GREEN, WIDTH_2px)

Or something like that.

Or can you stretch a piece of graphics between those points? It sure would be great, sorry if this is a n00b question.

Line Movement With Actionscript
How do I make a movie (of a horizontal line going down the screen) start playing backwards (ya know, going back up?) when it gets to the last frame and keep looping? I thought I could do this by setting a variable at the beginning equal to 1 and at the end equal to -1 and then just have the actionscript Go to and Play (_currentframe + framenum); (framenum is the variable I created)....but it doesn't seem to work...what did I do wrong? I know it's something stupid.

Alright alright, I know i can do this by doing a simple motion tween with 3 keyframes to make the line go down and up and rinse and repeat and whatever, but that's not the point. The point is...I'm stubborn and I want to do this with actionscript.

Line Extending With Actionscript
Can anyone please show me how to animate a line stretching from one point to another point.

I attempted use different tweens on the line by changing its _height and also changing the _xscale properties of the line, but that it scales the width when the line grows, so I get a fat line, so scaling is not the answer.

I know there a workarounds like masking to make it appear to grow dynamically, but is there anyway in actionscript to make the line stretch.

Hope you can help me.

Help With Editing One Line Of Actionscript Please.
Hello. I'm using a public web template. The header navigation menu uses flash and the template came with the source .fla's. I only have Macromedia Flash 5 and the newer flash files don't work with it. I used a program called "Decompile Flash" to edit the image and text, but I can't edit the actionscript with this program.

Could someone kindly edit one line of actionscript for me? The button that says "Gallery", which I believe "Decompile" says it's "button88". After clicking the button, it sends the user to "hardcoregamerz.us". If someone could just change it to "index.php", that would be great.

I've included the source .fla and .swf files in a zip. I will need the final file put into .swf as I can't do anything with .fla's.

Here's a link to the zip file: LINK TO ZIP FILE

Thank you in advance to anyone that could take a couple minutes and do this. I'm setting up a gaming clan website and as of earlier today, "hardcoregamerz.us" was redirecting to a list of "xxx" sites and that wouldn't be good for the youngsters. As of this post, looks like the redirect is gone, but who knows when it will be back up.

Line Animation Using Actionscript
hey all, I have what seems like a rather easy effect to acheive here, but I'm having troubles with it.

Basically, I want a line to scale from the left side of my movie to the right. When I use "this.line._width = 20", it scales on both sides. I want it to only scale to the right. Is there a way to do this with actionscript? I'm going to make the line scale at a variable rate in the future, so it starts out scaling fast, then slows down as it reaches its destination. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Actionscript Arrowhead On Line
Hi,

I am creating a program in which XMLbased X/y coordinates are extracted to draw lines from one movieclip to another using the createEmptyMovieClip method and lineTo. There is a line for every childNode, gathered in a for loop.

What I would like to be able to do is attach an arrowhead at the end of the arrow, hopefully pointed in a straight line with the angle of the arrow line.

Anybody with any insight shall be most praised, here's the code for the creation of the arrow line. I've gotten rid of all the variables and the for loop here because its not important, and would only add hassle.

Code:

createEmptyMovieClip("line_mc", 10);
line_mc.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
line_mc.moveTo(200, 25);
line_mc.lineTo(450, 105);
So that draws a diagonal line and I would like to cap the line with an arrow head following the aim of the line.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Need A Little Help With Being Adventurous [line Drawing In Actionscript]
Hey everyone,

I want to be a little different; well actually, I need to be in order for me to achieve what I want. In the Flash help files, you can 'draw' using ActionScript with commands like lineStyle(), moveTo() and lineTo(), but in all the examples provided, you always draw to a new empty MovieClip. I want to draw straight to the stage using actionscript as you do when you use the draw tools. Is this possible?

Why do I want to do this? Because I want to create a mask layer and when you place a MovieClip on the mask layer, it does not seem to work. If there is a better way of doing what I want, I would like to hear about it.

Thanks for your time, and I would appreciate all replies. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

Drawing A Curved Line W/ Actionscript
I'm having a tough time trying to dynamically figure out what a control point should be between a start and end point. I would like to consistently get a soft curve between the two points. The ideal curve would look something like this:
http://www.actionscript.org/resources/content_images/4/steps.gif

My problem comes in when I need to figure out the math to get the control point (p1 in that graphic). I see a lot of code out there drawing a sine curve or something more detailed, but I'm getting lost when it's just one curve. Ideally, I think what I'm looking for is a function along these lines:
Code:

function drawCurvedLine(target_mc,startX,startY,endX,endY,curveAngle){
...
}

The "curveAngle" argument would be a degree like 30, 45, etc...

If anybody can help, I would appreciate it greatly. If I'm not thinking about this correctly, let me know.

Actionscript 1 (fp6.0.65) -- Command Line Compile?
I've been searching for a way to command-line compile (opensource-wise) AS1 code. The reason I need to do so is I've got a project that has a SWF that is compatible with the FP6.0.65 player to expose the ExpressInstall functionality, but I want to be able to let people re-compile the SWF without needing a copy of Flash.

I've looked at Ming, mtasc, and mxmlc. I couldn't really figure out what I needed to do with Ming. mtasc gave me errors (but I wasn't entirely certain that it couldn't work, I just didn't know how to get it to recognize the AS1 style code -- kept complaining about "System...", etc). mxmlc couldn't understand anything not in packages.

So, I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Is there a way to command-line compile a simple, single .as file (AS1) code into a SWF targeted for FP6?

Set Variable: "N" = 1
Loop While (N < 5)
Set Variable: "TextField" = "HELLO"
Set Variable: "N" = N + 1
End Loop
End On
