PowerPoint White Ending
I'm getting some white frames at the end of my movie when brought into PPT - I've heard something about it filling in for some reason but I don't understand. Any insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

[F8] Convert PowerPoint To Flash--PowerPoint Slide Show To Web Page
Convert PowerPoint to Flash--PowerPoint slide show to web page
Lots of beautiful or useful PowerPoint slide show can be placed on our websites with the popular Flash movie format. If you are a webmaster who is good at PowerPoint or have PowerPoint presentations to share with others, you will be interested in this article.
Of course you can put the PowerPoint presentation on a site directly as a normal PowerPoint PPT or PPS file. The file can be downloaded and viewed by customers who have Microsoft PowerPoint or PowerPoint viewer installed on their computers. But, does everyone have PowerPoint on their computer? Of course not! Thus this way is not proper to widely distribute your PowerPoint presentations.
Let’s consider the method that converting the PowerPoint presentations to html pages? Obviously by this way we can get directly html web pages to put in our web space. But the html format can not obtain the animations and transitions of the original PowerPoint presentation. And the kind of html pages may make our web site very slow!
What is the best way to distribute the PowerPoint presentation in the internet？To reply this question, there are three aspects should be taken to consideration:
1, Obtain the PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Easy to add to the web page.
3, Protect the author copyrights
Then which format is the best choice? HTML, PPS/PPT , or Flash? Obviously Flash is the best format which can fulfil above requirements
Advantage for converting PowerPoint to flash:
1, Preserve the original PowerPoint animations and transitions.
2, Reduce up to 90% of the PowerPoint file size.
3, Password protect the output Flash presentation. No one can edit it except the author.
4, Embed the Flash anywhere, create beautiful web page.
5, Small size file is easy to be emailed to others.

For Flash Newbies And PowerPoint Expert:Make A Homepage Flash Banner With PowerPoint.
May be it suit here!
I made an attempt to create a homepage banner with Microsoft PowerPoint and a third party tool Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional.I will show you in details in this article.
I think it’s hard to believe. But when I finished this work and publish it to web as a homepage successful, finally I believe. An idea to share it with all flash newbies and design fans pops up in my mind. That’s main reason for me to write this article.
Let’s start to create our PowerPoint work as a homepage now. I believe, PowerPoint is able to work in companion with Flash in future.
Ok, let’s begin our design tour.I will show you step by step. ^_^
My showcase: sample.swf
First, you must be sure that your PC has Microsoft PowerPoint installed. Launch the PowerPoint software. Setup it as follows:
1. File -> Page Setup. (Set the width and height as you like; I’ve set it as the below screenshot.)
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_01.gif[/IMG]
Click “ok” and the page will change as follows (The rudimental form of a banner appears.):
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_02.gif[/IMG]
2. Draw the loading rectangle by using a rectangle tool:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_03.gif[/IMG]
Right click the rectangle -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Wipe (other setups as follows)
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_04.gif[/IMG]
3. Insert football: Insert -> Picture -> From File -> Select a picture you want to insert
Add effects to football (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> Fly in.
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> Spin.
3) Add Effect -> exit -> Spiral out.
4. Insert a text box and input the sentence ““Let's publicize world cup's energy together!” in it. Add effects to the text box (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit):
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> select one you want
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> select one you want
3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want
5. Insert the photos and add effects to photos (three animations: entrance | emphasis | exit)
1) Right click the football -> Custom Animation -> Add Effect -> Entrance -> select one you want
2) Add Effect -> emphasis -> select one you want
3) Add Effect -> exit -> select one you want
6. The final interface is as follows (please check your PowerPoint file):
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_06.gif[/IMG]
Ok, our PowerPoint banner is finished, but how to convert it to flash banner and to embed it to web?
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_05.gif[/IMG]
Yes, this tool – Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional will take up the final work.
Download from http://www.********.com/index.php?sid=6
You have two options: PPT2Flash Standard Edition and PPT2Flash Professional Edition.
After installation, you have two modes to operate this software:
1)With the shortcut icon from your tabletop. Double click it.
2)With the PPT2Flash’s plug-in mode, launch the Microsoft PowerPoint, it will show in the menu bar:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_07.gif[/IMG]
Menu of PPT2Flash:
[IMG]http://www.********.com/images/articles/0811_08.gif[/IMG]
You may Record Narration, Import Audio, Edit Audio, Insert Flash, Add Attachments, select Templates to your flash.
Ok, that’s all. I really hope you understand what I have written in this article.
Writing a tutorial isn’t a comfortable job. Does it suit you? Useful for you?
Is this article excellent or not? I am not sure. But I wrote it with my heart, really.
Cheers!
Open Powerpoint File From A Flash Movie Embedded In A Powerpoint File
hello everybody,
I need to open powerpoint files from a flash movie that will run within a powerpoint presentation.
So far I have understood the concept of fscommand and have been able to open powerpoint files from a flash projector. I have not been able to import the flash projector within powerpoint (I do not think it is possible anyway).
Note: I use flash mx 2004
Any help very much appreciated.

Ending It All
Hello,
I created a Koolmoves movie and have it set to play only once. When the movie ends it it "resets" back to the first frame leaving the screen blank. Is it possible for the movie to end on the last frame? If so, How?
I have other info included in the movie and would like it to remain for a time period of my choosing before opening the home page of the site.
Thank for your help.

Why Is This Loop Not Ending? Help
I want to make a button that tells the _root timeline to advance forward in increments of 4 frames at a time until the variable "moving" equals 0.
For some reason, the playhead doesn't advance, and so "moving" never changes to 0 and I get stuck in an infinite loop. Why isn't the playhead advancing?
This is the code I'm using:
Code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root") {
do {
gotoAndStop (_currentFrame + 4);
} while (moving==1);
if (moving==0) {
moving = 1;
}
}
}
I tried it as a while loop as well and it didn't work.
Help!
Never Ending Project....
Hello...
Another road blocker for me... I published my movie and depending on the resolution of the monitor my fonts and various images move around or get all funky and difficult to read.
Could someone please point me to some sort of book or something that helps me optimize and make my site usable from any and all browsers.. or at least most of them?
But in the meantime, do you know how to correct this problem?
Thanks!!!!
Ending A Movie
Hi all...
I have developed an e-card using Flash. It is set to autorun and open the Flash application and run the movie when loaded into the CD tray.
One of the four options is an "Exit" button to end the presentation and close the application. The movie name is "trgecard". What would be the action scripting to make the presentaion stop and the application window shut down by itself?
Thanks.
Charles,
Ending Flash...
Question:
On the main screen I have an exit button...
Is there a command that closes flash...(I want the
same effect as hitting the "X" in the upper right
corner...
We will be burning this presentation to a CD...and
will not be needing to save any info...
Any information would be appricitate...

Ending A While Loop
Hi, someone wrote me a rain script that duplicates a mc on a certain frame. The only problem is, I don't know how to end the while loop later, it just continutes automatically.
amount = 500;
while (amount>0) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.rain, "mc"+i, random(1));
setProperty("mc"+i, _x, random(954));
setProperty("mc"+i, _y, random(400));
setProperty("mc"+i, _alpha, random(100));
setProperty("mc"+i, _rotation, 0);
i++;
amount--;
}
Can anyone help me end this loop on a different frame? Thanks in advance!
Ending A While Loop
Hi, I'm trying to end a while loop on a certain frame. I tried clearing the code on that frame, but it continues to loop throughout the entire movie. The loop is:
amount = 500;
while (amount>0) {
duplicateMovieClip(_root.rain, "mc"+i, random(45));
setProperty("mc"+i, _x, random(954));
setProperty("mc"+i, _y, random(400));
setProperty("mc"+i, _alpha, random(100));
setProperty("mc"+i, _rotation, 0);
i++;
amount--;
}
I need to end this loop suddenly on a certain frame. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Ending A Function
Let's say i have a button and a ball movieclip. Upon clicking the button, i want the ball to begin moving in 5 pixel increments toward a set distance... let's say 100 pixels down from where it now lies.
Now, i was thinking of writing a function which checks every frame to see if the ball has made it there yet. I have no problem stopping the ball, but how do i stop the function from checking to see where the ball is once it's there? (without totally killing the function because i will need it again)
Ending A Slideshow
is there any kind of code to use to END a slide presentation, so that when it autoruns, it sees the ending and re-starts the entire thing?
Ending Of Functions
Hi there
if my functions are
function rotateX(n, e) {
var _loc1 = e;
var _loc3 = points_arr[n][1];
var _loc2 = points_arr[n][2];
points_arr[n][1] = Math.cos(_loc1)*_loc3-Math.sin(_loc1)*_loc2;
points_arr[n][2] = Math.sin(_loc1)*_loc3+Math.cos(_loc1)*_loc2;
}
function rotateY(n, e) {
var _loc1 = e;
var _loc3 = n;
var pX = points_arr[_loc3][0];
var _loc2 = points_arr[_loc3][2];
points_arr[_loc3][0] = Math.cos(_loc1)*pX+Math.sin(_loc1)*_loc2;
points_arr[_loc3][2] = -Math.sin(_loc1)*pX+Math.cos(_loc1)*_loc2;
}
how would i break those functions - like stop them from being executed - would it be like this?
in a clip, id write
on( release ){
_level0.doTheAction( this, "toCenter" ); //part of a different action
rotateX.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.reset();
function rotateY.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.reset();
}
}
or something?

Ending A Download
hi guys, is there anyway to shut down a download, after it has started, when using LoadVars?
Because if i call another LoadVars and start to download info, i have to wait until the first LoadVars download ends in order to start the second one.
thx for the info
Ending Scripts
if you have a movieclip with two states, one over and one out, and in frame 1 you put a script like,
Code:
button_mc.onRollOver = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("over");
}
button_mc.onRollOut = function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("out);
}
so on the main timeline, you have an actions layer, on frame 1 it has this script, on a keyframe on frame 6 you have a different script to execute other things, and you don't want the button_mc to react to the over and out states anymore, how do you kill those initial scripts?
Why Does This Loop Become Never Ending?
my code is to scramble words...
however it seems to loop endlessly
red part is the problem...
Code:
var sw:Array = ["hello", "dog", "cat", "you"];

life.text = "Lives ["+lives+"]";
life._width = 100;
sq._width = 200;
life._x = -25;
var sl = Array();
var reform:String = "";
var vu = Array();
var l:Number = 0;
function newquestion()
{
var select:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*sw.length-1);
var len:Number = sw[select].length;
for (var i:Number = 0; i<len; i++)
{
sl[i] = sw[select].substr(i, 1);
}
reform = "";
while (l < 40)
{
vu[l] = false;
l++;
}
e = 0;
while(reform.length != len)
{
var ran:Number = Math.floor(Math.random()*(len-1));
trace("Ran "+ran);

trace("Reform length "+reform.length);
vu[ran] = true;
}
}
sq.text = "Current Problem ["+reform+"]";

Stream Ending
Hi I have a media display component showing a flv file.

how would i do this when i dont actually know when the stream would finish?
Ending An Animation
Hi. I've just created my first flash animation. It's about 10 seconds. The only problem is that it loops continuously.
In the "using Flash for the first time" lesson by Jen deHaan (great lesson1), she mentions that you can drop this code in "stop();" and she also recommends to add all such code to a single frame to make it easy to find. However, she does not mention how to add code to a frame. Help!
Likewise, the Help file only discusses stopping the loop for specific "graphics instances," not for an entire scene or movie. I'm sure it's simple. I just can't find it.
Never Ending Nightmare
i am still workin on the same movie
u know there is a bug about unloadmovie method so i revised everything and attached the movies i loaded before,so that i could use removemovieclip method..
but there is still a problem; when i remove the mc s from some buttons and recall the same mc s again, they don't obey the codes written ...grrrhhh
here r all my codes;
onClipEvent (load) {
this._x=0;
this._y=9;
buttonNames=["BÝZE ULAÞIN","ÝÞ ORTAKLARI","PORTFÖY","ÇÖZÜMLER",
"SERVÝSLER","PROFÝL","ANA SAYFA","HABERLER"];
item._visible=false;
function populateList() {
spacing=20;
_global.numberOfButtons=buttonNames.length;
var i=-1;
while (++i<numberOfButtons) {
name=i;
item.duplicateMovieClip(name,numberOfButtons-i);
trace(this[name].content.attachMovie("content"+i,"content",2+i));
this[name].itemName.text=buttonNames[i];
this[name]._x=0;
this[name]._y=390-(i*spacing);
}
}
populateList();
}
these r the ones i use to create my slider menu items and attach the related contents...they work properly..
on (release) {
trace(_root.window4_1.attachMovie("yazilim","new", 10));
if(_root.window4_1._alpha=30)
{
_root.window4_1._alpha=100;
_root.window4_2._alpha=30;
_root.window4_3._alpha=30;
}
trace(_root.x +=2);
_root.window4_1.swapDepths(_root.x);
}
this one is for one button inside the mc content4 we attached before..there 3 buttons in content4...
on (press) {
_root.window4_1._alpha=100
_root.window4_2._alpha=30
_root.window4_3._alpha=30
_root.x +=2;
_root.window4_1.swapDepths(_root.x);
startDrag(this);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
this one is for a button inside window4_1 yazilim..
anyway here comes the one that works ..
on (release) {
i=this._name;
removeMovieClip ("_root.window4_1.new");
removeMovieClip ("_root.window4_2.new");
removeMovieClip ("_root.window4_3.new");
while(0<=i) {
if (_root.slidermenu[i].durum==1) {
_root.slidermenu[i].play();
}
i--;
}
}
this one is on a button in slidermenu.item ..
and here is the one that doesn't work
on (release) {
i = this._name;
k = Number(i);
removeMovieClip ("_root.window4_1.new");
removeMovieClip ("_root.window4_2.new");
removeMovieClip ("_root.window4_3.new");
j = k+1;
trace(j);
_root.gotoAndStop(j);
while (i<=numberofbuttons) {
if (_root.slidermenu[i].durum == 0) {
_root.slidermenu[i].play();
}
i++;
}
}
let me explain u the problem ;
let's say that i have opened the 4.th slidermenu item by clickin on its button and when it slides up it shows me content4 that i have attached..
....
now i wanna see the mc s inside it and trigger them by clicking on the buttons inside content4..
each of the buttons in content4 attach the mc s called yazilim etc.. into instances window4_1..etc..
then i wanna take a look at another menu item so i close down (or up) content 4 and slide the other one i wanna check for..
and the mc s attached are removed..
....
but when i do this with a slidermenu item that is below the one i have just used (4th one ) and slide back the 4th one again;the problem starts..
it acts like there r no codes about alphas or depths of the mc s attached in instances window4_1 etc..
and worst of all it creates two copies of these mc s and doesn't remove them later..
because they become undefined stuff this time..
but it works correctly when i remove them from a slidermenu item above it..
if there's anyone here who can solve this problem i am gonna start adoring him/her..it'd better be a he
thanx in advance everyone..
Ending The For Loops
We have a For Loop that duplicates and movie Clip.
for (counter=2;counter<=15;counter++) {
duplicateMovieClip(enemy,"enemy"+counter,counter+1 00);
}
On a hit test we want to remove all the duplicated movieclips. I acomplished this using a new scene with a frame action contianing another For Loop and a remove movie clip action. Hit test true move to new scene play frame action.
for (counter=2;counter<=15;counter++) {
removeMovieClip("enemy"+counter);
}
This worked.
Is there a way to put a stop of the For Loop or Put a stop on the Duplicate movie clip?

Ending A Function
Hi Guys,
I've created this function to jump to the next frame ever 5 seconds, but it continues to jump every 5 seconds even if I add a stop in.
I assume I need to close the function off somehow. So what would I use to stop the function.
Here is what I have so far.
Code:
stop();
function wait() {
gotoAndPlay(nextFrame());
}
setInterval(wait, 5000);
It's funny that I've never had to do this before, but there you go.
I'd be interested in any input, thanks.
Never Ending Menu
I am trying to make a menu that scrolls left when the mouse is to the left of center, and right when it is right of center. The menu is a movie clip that is 1000 px wied by 90px high. I duplicated the movie and placed the second one at the end of the first, then made it one larger movie. here is the script im using:
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
onClipEvent (load)
{
xcenter=375;
speed=1/10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
}
{
var distance=_root._xmouse-xcenter;
_x+=(distance*speed);
if (_x > 0) _x=-1000;
if (_x < -1000) _x=0;
}
the problem is i can't get it to seem like an endless clip. there are breaks between them as they scroll by. can someone kindly help me with what I am missing?
many thanks

Ending A Function
I thought this was simple enough but it is not working. I've got a script running that brings my menu to the left side of the screen--and then assigns a global variable to tell which part of the menu you are located on. However, when I call the new function with my if statement checking what the global variable is...the old function affects it I think. I want the function to clear. I'll write some script of what i'm doing for example...
ActionScript Code:
menu1_mc.onRelease = function(){
//everytime you click it will check...
if(_global.myNumber == 0){
_global.myNumber = 1;
menu1_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
menu1_mc._x+=10}}
// ok...now the global number is 1
//but how can i cancel the other function out
if(_global.myNumber == 1){
menu1_mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
menu1_mc._x -= 10}
}
}
When I release the second time, I've traced the global number and it is 1, but nothing is happening because i think that the first function is continually running. Any help??
[CS3] White Backgrounds Instead Of White, Why?
This is just about the only question that I have right now, until I actually get into doing some work with flash. Anyway:
My problem deals with viewing some flash animations online. Before I updated my Flash Player to version 9, I have been able to view some of the animations on, say, Newgrounds, without a problem. However, after the update, what used to be black backgrounds are now white. A good example of this could be seen on VGCats.com.
http://www.vgcats.com/comics/extras/stillalive.php
On the loading screen and the replay screen, as well as throughout the lyrics, the background is white where it should be black.
As well as here:
http://tta.fireball20xl.com/
Here, I know for a fact that, behind the green star, the background used to be black. But now it's white for some reason.
I've tested this on a couple computers, just in case. All the ones that updated to Flash Player 9 have white backgrounds. The other computers that have not, however, stayed black as it should be. So, I'm only guessing it has something to do with the update, but I do not know what.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both CS3 and Flash Player, and I did the usual things like clearing caches and cookies, but nothing I've done so far has seemed to solve my problem.
More or less, I'd like to know who else has had this problem at some point? Hopefully someone else has, I don't like being the only person in this situation. Makes me feel like an idiot trying to ask.
But I would like to know how to solve this, so I can get on my way with enjoying the animations as they should be.

here it is...
i have a MC with a button embeded in it so that the two together act as a draggble button.
//the problem is...
the dragable button activates a drop target once its placed into a specific area. i have several of these buttons (they are draggable menu items). i want them to disappear or go back to their original position once they've activated the droptarget ... so that i can use the other draggable MC's without the visual interference of the previous draggable button/MC.
//any advice would help.
thanks

Ending The Star Fields...
Hello. I'm using some action script I came across on Flashkit that generates a star field.
n = 1000;
while (n>0) {
if( (n % 2) == 0){
duplicateMovieClip ("/r1", n, n);
n = n-1;
setProperty ("/r1", _x, random(550));
setProperty ("/r1", _y, random(400));
setProperty ("/r1", _alpha, 50);
}
else{
duplicateMovieClip ("/r2", n, n);
n = n-1;
setProperty ("/r2", _x, random(550));
setProperty ("/r2", _y, random(400));
setProperty ("/r2", _alpha, 100);
}
}
r1 and r2 are simply instances of movie clips with dots that alpha in and out.
The problem i've run into is, I can't seem to end the star field. If I set this code on the first frame, it continues throughout all the scenes in my flash movie. I would like to stop the star field at the end of my first scene. Can anyone please offer some advice? Thanks, it is much appreciated!
Movie Ending To Be Repeated
ok how do make the last sequence of my movie repeat itself until the viewers decides that it aint worth watching no more. i want one basically i have about 8 layers that need to remain on the screen, one of which needs to repeat a simple movement across the screen i tried playing around with the goto function but had trouble with it can someone gimme like an idiots guide or something?
Ending A Motion Tween
I have a keyframe at 1st frame, and another at the 20th frame. I insert a motion tween between them but it turns out to be a dotted line and not an arrow. It appears that the motion tween ends at 19 but i need to know how to end one firmly. thanks alot guys.
Also i was wondering, should mc's be used alot in the main timeline, or is most of the flash work done in the main timeline itself?
Ending Animations? (stop)
Hi,
I have a tweened frame, currently its looping itself. I need it to animate once then the text to stop and just be static on the screen.
I know i need to add a stop to the frame but cant work out how!
Any help appreciated,
Thx,
Andy.
Ending External SWF Loop
Very basic - I'll try to keep the explanation simple:
I am doing some very simple frame-by-frame animations with audio. I have 10 small animation SWFs total. I am not using scenes, I am just publishing small movies here.
The first animation (we'll call this Level O) is a simple transition - kind of a color swipe across the screen. It's named "curtain.swf" At the end of this clip is an action:
loadMovieNum("otto_vox.swf", 1);
stop();
"otto_vox.swf" is the name of the SWF I wish to play after our Level 0 movie.
Then "otto_vox.swf" has an action at the end of its timeline:
loadMovieNum("mirth_vox.swf", 2);
stop();
And so on (and it all plays fine). But on my number 9 SWF, I wish to play that "curtain.swf" (Level 0) once more, but keep it from endlessly looping and calling "otto_vox.swf" (Level 1) again.
------------------------------------
I am certain there are numerous ways of dealing with this. Hopefully you have a basic solution. Thank you.
Ending Loop &proceeding
ok i have a file that i haved looped..i want the button to be able to tel the loop to play till end of loop then ocntinue on if the button has been pressed..i have already been told an excelent solution but im afriad i dont know hw to do it..this is it
Quote:
Pooon's solution: Well the way I would do it is make a dynamic text box with the variable 0. When you click the button make it change the number to 1. Inside your animation, at the very last frame put in an action that does something life "if [variable] equals 1 then tell movie to go to next scene" or what ever.
if anyone could explain step by step for dummbies on how to do this..plz do so..after all im a newb..lol..one more thing i want the button to fade away after it has been pressed i know hoiwto fade but i cant get it to fade then i can only get it to fade out if i fade it from the movie completely..lol..
Help With Ending Movie Clips
In my flash at the start I have a movie clip. The code is set to make a neat text effect, then it stops so the user can view the text. However when I want to transition to the next scene, the movie clip won't go away. Is there some command I need to do (unload a movie clip)?
Also, my code is set so once all the letters are done with the animation (about half way in the code is done processing) the scene will change. However halfway in would be a bad time to switch it, so what could be done there?
Code for Frame 1:
text = "east scrub Gamers";
i = 1;
max = length(text);
kerning = "32";
size = "10";
setProperty("gull", _visible, "0");
Code for Frame 3:
duplicateMovieClip("gull", "gull" add i, i);
set("/gull" add i add "/letter:gull", substring(text, i, 1));
setProperty("/gull" add i, _x, 1+Number(i*kerning));
setProperty("/gull" add i, _xscale, 25*size);
setProperty("/gull" add i, _yscale, 30*size);
i = Number(i)+1;
Code for Frame 5:
if (Number(i)>Number(max)) {
stop();
unloadMovieNum(0);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
And code for the "gull" final frame:
stop();
Ending Load Images
hey people im using a script which loads external jpg files into a movie clip. What i need to do however is create a dynamic text file that says "loading..." which the next file is being loaded from the server and then say "End of Gallery" when the last image has been loaded and no more images are left in the sequence.
the code i have so far is.....
//initialize variables and properties
square._alpha = 0;
whichPic = 1;
//initiate change to new image when buttons are clicked
next.onPress = function() {
if (whichPic<300 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic++;
input = whichPic;
}
};
back.onPress = function() {
if (whichPic>1 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic--;
input = whichPic;
}
};
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
// when a new Photo is selected, fade out, load new image, and fade in
if (square._alpha>10 && fadeOut) {
square._alpha -= 10;
}
if (square._alpha<10) {
loadMovie("images/image"+whichPic+".jpg", "square");
fadeOut = false;
fadeIn = true;
}
if (square._alpha<100 && fadeIn && !fadeOut) {
square._alpha += 10;
} else {
fadeIn = false;
}
// limit input field
if (input>100) {
input = 5;
}
// initiate change to new image when Enter key is pressed
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
fadeOut = true;
whichpic = input;
}
};
// if a number is entered in the input field but Enter is not pressed, change
// back to current Photo number when clicking anywhere else
inputField.onKillFocus = function() {
input = whichPic;
};
stop();
could anyone tell me what to add to this to get the result i need.
thanks
