URGENT Randomly Placing Objects On Screen.
Hey, I've got to finish a game before 12am today for Clock Day 2004! I forgot about it, being busy with 5 games and 2 animations. I know alot of action-script, unfortunately, I don't know about randomizing. So here's what i'm doing. I've got a game where the character is viewed from the top, and you haveto run around and collect an object, lets say, coins. I need to make it so the coins come and go randomly. Hope someone can help me, I've been searching on how to do this for ages. Thanks for reading this

Placing External Library Elements In Full Screen...
I'm trying to place these external library elements in full screen mode.
Code:
class com.Library
{
//
// MovieClips
//
public static var LOGO:String = "lib.clips.Logo";
public static var HORZ_BAR:String = "lib.clips.HorzBar";

public static var TITLE_TEXT:String = "lib.clips.TitleText";
public static var FULL_IMAGE:String = "lib.clips.FullImage";
public static var ITEM:String = "lib.clips.Item";
}
I can place them in a fixed position...
Code:
private function initialise():Void
{
var xmlLoader:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader();
xmlLoader.load( "xml/images.xml" );
xmlLoader.addEventListener( "onXMLComplete", Delegate.create( this, onXMLLoaded ) );
//
// Holds the full size imaage
//
fullImage = target.attachMovie( Library.FULL_IMAGE, "fullImage", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
fullImage._x = 0;
fullImage._y = 0;
//
// Horz Bar top
//
horzBarTop = target.attachMovie( Library.HORZ_BAR, "horzBarTop", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
horzBarTop._x = 0;
horzBarTop._y = 0;
horzBarTop._alpha = 50;
horzBarTop._width = Stage.width;
//

titleText._x = 10;
titleText._y = Stage.height - titleText.height;
//
// Logo
//
logo = target.attachMovie( Library.LOGO, "logo", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
logo._x = 10;
logo._y = -2;
//
// Thumbnail conainer
//
container = target.createEmptyMovieClip( "container", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
container._x = 81;
container._y = 121;
//
// Mask
//
mask = target.attachMovie( Library.MASK, "mask", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
mask._x = 50;
mask._y = 90;
//
// Line below the Scrollbar button
//
scrollLine = target.attachMovie( Library.SCROLL_LINE, "scrollLine", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
scrollLine._x = 50;
scrollLine._y = 513;
//
// Scrollbar button
//
scrollBar = target.attachMovie( Library.SCROLL_BAR, "scrollBar", target.getNextHighestDepth() );
scrollBar._x = 50;
scrollBar._y = 508;
container.setMask( mask );
}
But I don't know how to make them listen to a stage listener to scale and position relative to the stage size or resize.
Can anyone help?
Snowfall
I would like to make snow stop falling when it hits the bottom of the window and pile up until the screen is filled.
How could I do this?
At the moment i have used two clips of snoflakes and used actionscript to make lots of them generate randomly at the top and fall slowly down off the screen
Thanks

Limiting This Snowfall?
here is the script. my only problem is that i can not set the snow to fall on a specific part of the flash movie... for example: lets say the flash movie is 600 by 500 in size. How do i make the snow only fall on the top part of the movie...which would be for example only 200 by 200 of the total movie. (x,y)
changing the size of the snowfall near random doesn't work.
can someone help me? please pm the results or reply here.
stop();
max = 50;
i = 0;
while (i<max) {
zufall = random(169);
attachMovie("bot", "bot"+i, i);
_root["bot"+i]._x = random(600);
_root["bot"+i]._y = random(500);
_root["bot"+i]._xscale = zufall;
_root["bot"+i]._yscale = zufall;
_root["bot"+i]._alpha = zufall;
i++;
}
fscommand("allowscale", "false");

How Do I Create Snowfall Movement
I would like to know how to create the continuous movement of snowfall without the dependency of the mouse (such as in the continuous movement tutorial). I tried the code for the simple movement, but I think it needs the 'block' in order to get it to continuously move. I don't know how to write the code. Would anyone be able to help me with this? Thank you.
Snowfall Class Cpu Issue...
I'm creating a class that makes snow fall depending on some variables like windspeed, fallspeed, etc.....the only issue I'm having right now is that the file 'jolts' when there's too many snow particles floating around....you can see what I mean here...
Basically, I created a single snowflake movieclip off the stage somewhere, and whenever I want to make a new snowflake, I just duplicate that movieclip...now depending on the user's setting, there can be a couple hundred snowflakes on the screen at any given point in time....that's when the slow-down happens....
Creating A Smooth Snowfall Effect
Hi there,
Im fresh on the scene and have practivcally no experience. I am trying to make a flash decor for my website and am having problems. I need (for one of many things) to create a smooth looking snow effect. except it isnt snow it is Jems. Now the prolem im having is that the jems come down in clusters. Yes I have moved the keyframes closer to the 1 frame in the motion tween (thats what all the tutorials i read gave me). It still looks like crap and is very buggy. Now how can i fix that?
thanks to whoever will help me. Please know I will be asking alot of questions (im a perfectionsist of sorts)and help from experst sounds great at a point like now, since I am about to open an art commision site. But if you look at my website please note that I am alot more experienced than i was at that point in time. thanks

Real Dumb Question From Newbie (snowfall)
Hi
I'm hope someone can point me in the right direction for a tutorial on how to generate snowfall in Flash CS3. I'm happy to deleve into actionscript, but the examples I've found on the web, I'm unable to get to work . The best example I found is http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Ac...-980/more3.php
I was hoping this would be quite simple, and I'm sure that it is, but I need a 'noddy guide' that holds my hand for me
Also if anyone can suggest some good books for a newbie on Flash (CS3) and actionscript, I'd be most grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Actionscript Placing Movie Clip And Manual Placing Movie Clip OnPress Blues
Hi,
I placed a movieclip onto the stage and wrote an onPress function for it and it worked fine.
I then deleted it off the stage, and then instead tried using actionscript to attach movie clip onto the stage and set its x,y coordinated.
It showed up on the stage in the right place but didn't respond to clicks (presses) on it.
I used:
this._parent.attachMovie("up_arrow", "upArrow", 1);
The name of the mc in the library is "up_arrow", and I made sure it was exported for actionscript too.
this._parent.upArrow.onPress = function() {
trace("up button pressed");
};
This onPress function only works if I manually place the mc on the stage in the editor and not when I use actionscript.
I don't know why it's not working, anyone have any ideas? You're help is appreciated.
Many thanks.

Placing Swf Within Swf
I want to place Sub.swf in main.swf, but i want to place him on the x=10, y=200
How do I place a swf in a swf when button is clicked, and when i call him in, how do I put him in a certain position ie x10,y200
thanx!
Placing And Following
Visualize this with me please.
I want to have a box move about and turn, with it, I want 2 lines to the sides of it (both stretching slightly over the corners). The lines will move as the box does; the box rotates, for example, the lines will as well, in sync with the box as though they are one instance.
The problem comes in when the box expands, then if the lines are in the same element as the box, then the lines will get bigger due to scaling, and if they are not of the same element, the box tends to be slightly on or off the lines, though I want them to be touching and not at all overlapping.

Placing Object Above The Others
Hi everyone!
Does anybody know how to place an object above the others (on the top of z-order)? I have an object, placed on the top layer, and on the level which lays below are dynamically created other object instances. After that the movieclip object which was on the top appears at the bottom regardless of the depth values specified in duplicateMovieClip() when creating object instances. I guess I have to bring back the object to the top, but I don't know how. clip.swapDepths() with the topmost of dynamically created objects doesn't give anything 'cept making the dynamic object visible
If anybody knows solution to this problem, please help!
Thanks a lot beforehand,

Placing SWF In Movieclip
Hi,
I'm trying to have a movie play at a particular position inside another movie.
I have tried to follow the directions in other posts, but so far, no luck.
I have an action layer. In that action layer, in the first frame, I am saying "loadMovie ("externalMovie.swf", "MCBox"). On a layer immediately underneath that, I have drawn a rectangle the size of the external movie and converted it to a Movie Clip named MCBox with the registration point in the upper left hand corner. When I test the Movie, the external movie doesn't play. If I change the actionscript in the first frame of the action layer to "loadMovieNum ("externalMovie.swf", 1)", the movie does play, but in the upper left hand corner of the entire movie. I have also tried to put the movie clip on the same layer as the actionscript to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm using Flash MX.
Thanks a lot,
Ed Levy
Placing A Movieclip
Ok,
I finally worked out the LoadMovie command in FlashMX. What I'm wondering is why does the loaded movie default to the top left hand corner of my main movie? The loaded movie is only a movieclip with a music track and an on/off button but it defaults to the corner!!!
How can I place it where I want it??
Thanks.

Placing Bitmaps ?
When using Illustrator, I always make bitmap tiffs of outlines, and place them into illustrator document. That way, the placed bitmap can be given any color I want, in that document and keep outlines without the white background. Is there a way to do this in flash?
I tried breaking apart a gif, but that looses the outline I need and just turns into a rectangle fill.
Please help.

Placing Buttons On Top Of Each Other
I can. Just get me ol' mouse and pile them up.
I have - Menu:
Click on [Mainbutton]
[Mainbutton] opens a [Movieclip] of [SubButtons].
([Movieclip] is below [Mainbutton])
I'd like to make it so when the user rolls off the [Movieclip] it closes (which is just a telltarget to go to the first frame).
But I can't use a rollout, because when I rollover one of the [SubButtons] Flash thinks I'm rollingout of the [Movieclip] and closes it. The bastard.
Um. Hm.
Can you help me with the information supplied?
Cheers
Placing Of Preloader
Hello Flashkit dudes...
I'm in a little bit confusion regarding the placing of Preloader movie. Few days back, I'd been suggested to put my Preloader movie in separate Scene (say Scene 1) and my another main movie in separate Scene (say Scene 2). Though it worked .........I'm here to ask u whether it is necessary to put in that way ..i mean in separate scenes. Does my preloader not work if I put that in the same scene where my main movie is kept ??? Please let my confusion end up with solid understanding in this regard. Any sort of suggestion would highly be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

[F8] Placing A .swf In Html
I've used dreamweaver to place my swf's in html since I started making flash movies. Basically I place the swf in the html and align it to the middle, and use center alignment for all the properties. This is simple and works.. somewhat.
My question is:
Is there an easy way to have a swf load without needing the html to place it? I know you can load a swf directly into any web browser but you don't have control over it. Ideally I would like my movie to load and take up lets say.. 90% of my audiences browser centered. The site I'm building now is 950x600 pixels which is great on most monitors with 1024x768 res+.. but people under that don't have a size for them.
any ideas?
I'm no html pro.. so yeah.

Placing An Image Into A Swf
Hi, im using "Swish Max" to make a flash menu,
the menu is going to have say 3 options on it, each option will then link to a page that will then link back to the menu.
After each page has been viewed and the user returns the the menu, i want a tick image to appear to the left of the options that have been completed(viewed).
I am using the code:
flag1 = 0;
flag2 = 0;
flag3 = 0;
when the menu first loads, each flag is assigned to one of the options, then when the user completes one of the options, it will change the value of the appropriate flag to 1.
then I want to use an if statement to display the tick image to the left of the option if flag(number) = 1 and not to display the image if flag(number)=0.
Ive only just started using actionscript so I dont really know how to do much so sorry for my noobiness.
If you could code the whole thing for me than great, if not just let me know how to place and position an image in the menu using actionscript and I will figure out the rest for myself
Placing Picture

Placing An SWF Onto The Stage.
I've been working on my new flash site for a few weeks, along with learning AS3, tackling problems as I encounter them and I've learned a lot...but sometimes the simplest things I cannot figure out for the life of me.
All I am trying to do is have some flash banner SWF files I created play within the portfolio page of my site. I don't want them to open in a pop up or anything just play within the page when the link on my site is clicked. I figured it would act like a movie clip and I could just drop it onto the stage, but when I do that it doesn't look right, loops continuously, and is not interactive.
How can I make this work? I would include my code if I had some, but I don't really know where to begin with this.
Placing Pop Up Windows

Please help.
Placing Scripting ?
I have an all Flash web site, published in html and I have a java scripted advertisement that I want to add to my site. Problem is I don't know where to add the scripting in my html source. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.....it would save me a lot of tutorial searching.
Thanks
