Ppl Who Have Probs With Some Tuts & Pathing.

Ppl Who Have Probs With Some Tuts & Pathing.
This is to anyone who has been having a problem with the tuts on this site, specifically the ones covering the photo albums and especially the ones that load external swf's into the main "index" swf. There have been a couple of threads with questions regarding the movies not working once loaded into an html page (myself included). The recommendations were that somehow the paths were mixed up or that the "_root" had changed, etc. Well, tonight I think I've finally stumbled on the fix, which probably isn't really a fix but just doing something right. Originally I thought to just import the swf into a ready made html page through Dreamweaver. What I did tonight was to use Publish Preview in Flash, and it automatically produced an HTML document. When I test that HTML, it works, so I'm just going to use that and put in the other page content around it.

Frankly, I don't know why I have to have Flash make the HTML or why it didn't work when I imported the flash movie into my web page template. I'm sure there is some logical explanation that I am unaware of and probably should know about. Regardless, I spent so stinking long changing and "fixing" my paths, and still not getting the stupid thing to work, that I'm just happy something is, and I thought I would share with the rest.

Good luck, and I hope this helps. PS, if any gurus can comment on the whys, it would really help us newbies.

Newbie-- Need Tuts
Hi....although i can do Flash, ie use the tool n do simple animations etc, i cant do any action script in expert mode, just the silly basic stuff. Anyone got any good tuts 4 this? and i mean really basic tuts! i have flash 5 and there is that big red book about action script that comes in the box, but it looks pretty scary cuz of the size, is it worth reading for a newbie or too hard?

All These Tuts Are Great But...
I'm really new to this Flash thing(pretty obvious why I'm in this forum then, ey?). My dad uses the Studio MX for his job and I recently(about a month ago) found it stashed away in the computer drawer and decided to check it out. I have done a lot of the tutorials here and have looked through them all. The one type of tutorial this place is missing is one that describes how to create the movies and games that you see at places like www.newgrounds.com(watch out the ads at the place are naughty) I've already started concept art and storyboards for the flash movie that I want to attempt to get pretty far on this summer. Can anyone give me advice or point me towards a great tut for creating a flash movie like The Final Task or Tales of Nosuat newgrounds

[F8] Can't Even Get AS To Work, Seen Many Tuts...
For my website, I am creating a button for the homepage with some cool effects. I got the Flash CS3 part down, but the ActionScript part is confusing me. I type EXACTLY what is posted in tutorials as a test, and I STILL get an error, like with this code...

Code:
animation_btn.onPress = function()
{
stop();
}
I get the error...

Code:
Location: Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 1
Description:1119: Access of possibly undefined property onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Source:animation_btn.onPress = function()
I was wondering what the problem is... I'm sure any advanced AS coder could solve this easily. If you need more information, read this explanation of the animation...

It consists of 450 frames, and should, overall, act as a button. When the user hovers their mouse over the button, the animation should start. After reaching frame 250, I want to loop it from frame 101-250. When the user clicks, I want it to continue going (ie. not go directly to 251 even if it is at 101, but let it run through), then continue to 400. At frame 400, I want the AS to stop the animation. After a couple seconds, continue from 401 to 450.

The "animation_btn" code is the instance name I gave to the 100% Alpha box on the top of my animation. So firstly, how can I get rid of this error, and secondly, how can I code AS to loop/stop at certain frames?

Useful Codes With Tuts And Fla's
**Sorry, i have not yet found all my FLA's, i'll put them up soon

MC's As Buttons[FLA] || [Preview]
1
Draw a Picture.

2
Select it and press F8 and make sure Button is checked.

3
Double click it and insert keyframes under the Up, Over, Down, Hit.

Up is the button whenever the pointer is not over the button.
Over is representing the button’s appearance when the pointer is over the button.
Down is representing the button’s appearance as it is clicked.
Hit is defining the area that responds to the mouse click. This area is invisible in the SWF file.

4
Once it is a button and you have all the states add in;

Code:

on (release){
//action
}
For E.G.:

Code:

on (release){
gotoAndPlay("6");
}
//this will go to and play frame 6

Code:

on (release){
gotoAndPlay("part 2");
}
//this will go to and play frame named part2

Set Timer, By Using A Button[FLA] || [Preview]
1
To frame 1, or whatever frame the button is in, add in this code;

Code:

_root.notime = 0; //this is a variable the code i made uses to make sure the timer only sets when it is not already counting down
2
OK, in this code i have just used a movie clip to act as a button, but you can use a button. Add this code to your button;

Code:

on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2); //this just plays the rollover frame of my movie clip, if you have a button delete the code in red
}
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay(21); //this just plays the rollout frame of my movie clip, if you have a button delete the code in red
}
on (release) {
if (_root.notime>=1) { //checks to see if the variable notime is 1
_root.text.gotoAndPlay(); // if it is 1, then it will not start the timer again
} else if (_root.notime<=0) {//checks to see if the variable notime is 0
_root.text.gotoAndPlay(2); // if it is 0, then it will start the timer
}
}
3
Make a symbol with the instance name of text. In it, put a dynamic text box named display. After you have put in the text box put in another keyframe at frame 2.

NOTE** if you want it invisible set the alpha of this movie clip to 0.

4
In frame 1 of the symbol put in this code;

Code:
stop();
_root.text.display = 45; //Sets the timer variable to 45, just looks good if it is visible. Make this the same as the actual timer.
5
In frame 2 of the symbol put in this code;

Code:

_root.notime = 1; //Make the button invalid until the timer makes it valid again
var numTimeLimit = 45000; // This sets the timer. 1 sec = 1000, so this is for 45 seconds
var bolFirstTime = true;
function countDownF() {
if (bolFirstTime) {
numTimeStart = getTimer();
bolFirstTime = false;
}

numTimePassed = getTimer() - numTimeStart;
display = Math.round((numTimeLimit - numTimePassed)/1000);
if (numTimePassed > numTimeLimit) { // If the timer is finished
_root.notime = 0; //Set notime to 0, so the button will work again!.
gotoAndPlay(1); //Goes back to frame one of this symbol also so the button will work properly or, alternatavely, you can leave out the code in green so they have to double click the button for it to work .
//Put in any of your own actions here.
clearInterval(countDownI); // clear the interval
}
}
countDownI = setInterval(countDownF, 50);
stop();

Mouse Out/Mouse Over Using MC's[FLA] || [Preview]
1
Create a movie clip.
2
Insert 6 keyframes for example, frames 1, 2, 20, 21, 40, 41.

3
On 4 of the keyframes, for example, frames 1, 20, 40, 41, on each of these keyframes put in;

Code:

stop();
4
Put your idle picture on frame 1, and your rollOver animations on keyframe 2 - 20, for this example.

5
Put your rollOut animations on the keyframe 21 - 40, for this example.

6
Put your pressed animations on the keyframe 41, for this example.

7
Go back to scene 1 and put this code on your movieclip;


Code:

on (rollOver) {
this.gotoAndPlay("roll in scene"); //goto And Play from roll in scene of this MC
}
on (rollOut) {
this.gotoAndPlay("rollout scene");//goto And Play from rollout scene of this MC
}
on (press) {
this.gotoAndPlay("pressed scene");//goto And Play from pressed scene of this MC
}
on (release) {
this.gotoAndPlay("idle");");//goto And Play the idle scene of this MC
}

Make Button Text Fade In/OutUpdates have been made, no more Freezing up on load, and if you download the fla, remove the code from frame 1![FLA] || [Preview]

OK, so try putting the text as a movie clip(f8) and then add

-1: To the Frame add;

Code:
//you no longer need a code here
-2: To The Button(we'll call ButtonA) add;

Code:
on (rollOver) { //checks if the mouse is over
_root.pizza = 1; //sets the variable, called pizza to 1
_root.meh= 0; //sets the variable, called meh to 0
}
-3: Insert the text and make it a movieclip, name it text, in the properties menu. Make sure it is the instance name and not the symbol name.

-4: Make the alpha of the movie clip 0%

-5: To the movie clip add; **Fixed**

Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.pizza == 0) {
_root.text._alpha -= 10;
_root.meh=1;
}
if (_root.text._alpha<=0) {
_root.text._alpha -= 0;
}
if (_root.text._alpha>=100) {
_root.text._alpha += 0;
}
if (_root.pizza == 1) {
_root.text._alpha += 10;
}
}
-6: To The Next Button(we'll call ButtonB) add;

Code:
on (rollOver) { //checks if the mouse is over
_root.pizza = 0; //sets the variable, called pizza to 0
_root.meh= 1; //sets the variable, called meh to 1
}
-7: Insert the next text and make it a movieclip, name it text2, in the properties menu. Yet again, make sure it is the instance name and not the symbol name.

-8: Make the alpha of the movie clip 0%

-9: To the movie clip add; **Fixed**

Code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.meh == 0) {
_root.text2._alpha -= 10;
_root.pizza = 1;
}
if (_root.text2._alpha<=0) {
_root.text2._alpha -= 0;
}
if (_root.meh == 1) {
_root.text2._alpha += 10;
}
if (_root.text2._alpha>=100) {
_root.text2._alpha += 0;
}
}


NOTE: If you want to make it go to a certain frame put in this code, on the button in this code it will go to and play 3;


Code:
on (rollOver) { //checks if the mouse is over
_root.pizza = 0; //sets the variable, called pizza to 0
_root.meh= 1; //sets the variable, called meh to 1
}
OR, depending on the button
on (rollOver) { //checks if the mouse is over
_root.pizza = 1; //sets the variable, called pizza to 1
_root.meh= 0; //sets the variable, called meh to 0
}

on (release) { //checks if the mouse is released
gotoAndPlay(3);
}
And the new code for the frame will be;


Code:
_root.pizza = 0; //sets the variable, called pizza to 0
_root.meh = 0; //sets the variable, called meh to 0
stop(); //just stops the frame from playing
And if you wanted it do go on mouse out i would be;



Code:
on (rollOver) { //checks if the mouse is over
_root.pizza = 0; //sets the variable, called pizza to 0
_root.meh= 1; //sets the variable, called meh to 1
}
OR, depending on the button
on (rollOver) { //checks if the mouse is over
_root.pizza = 1; //sets the variable, called pizza to 1
_root.meh= 0; //sets the variable, called meh to 0
}

on (rollOut) { //checks if the mouse is out
_root.pizza = 0; //sets the variable, called pizza to 0
_root.meh= 0; //sets the variable, called meh to 0
}
on (release) { //checks if the mouse is released
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

Any Good Preloader Tuts
Ok, since Preloaders require actionscript, I posted this here.

Does anyone know of a resource site, book, ANYTHING that just has different preloader tutorials?

Im talking about different "graphical" ways of showing preloaders and how to implement them. Using just numbers, bars, pictures, anything.

Ive seen tones of preloaders out there and I want to use others instead of my basic
(bytes loading/total bytes) style preloader.

Any help would be GREAT
Thanks in advance.

And yes, I already checked FK
Oh, using Flash MX

Looking For Tuts On Scrolling And Hover
Hello,
In looking at this site.. I would like to do something similar but my Flash is a little Rusty.

In looking at:
http://www.salesforce.com/uk/downloa...1mFl&scroll=no

How would set it up so that you can have a scrollbar on the right to scroll a page up and down?

Also... how could you set up that hover so that when your mouse is over a certain section a box of text would pop up and follow your mouse?

Thanks!

Mixing 2 Tuts Problems, Swf In Swf
I'm trying to mix two tuts in one movie. They are:
1) http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm (a photo gallery w/ forward-back buttons) FARM.swf
2) http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/p...transition.htm (a front for the photo gallery w/ a preloader & buttons) PHOTOS.swf

I'm creating a page so that users can access different photo albums with one interface. My idea is to use #2 (photos.swf) as the main movie with multiple buttons that load an swf (such as farm.swf - the actual album). So far it's working in that the first image is loaded when I click the button to load the movie, but my forward/back buttons are chopped off. What I think is happening is that the first image from the movie is being loaded and not the actual swf movie itself. Is there some rule that prevents an swf that uses actionscript to load into another swf that is also using actionscript? Do I need to just abandon this whole idea?

Thanks
Pam

Beginner: Can't Even Get AS To Work, Seen Many Tuts...
For my website, I am creating a button for the homepage with some cool effects. I got the Flash CS3 part down, but the ActionScript part is confusing me. I type EXACTLY what is posted in tutorials as a test, and I STILL get an error, like with this code...

Code:
animation_btn.onPress = function()
{
stop();
}
I get the error...

Code:
Location: Scene 1, Layer 'AS', Frame 1, Line 1
Description:1119: Access of possibly undefined property onPress through a reference with static type flash.display:SimpleButton.
Source:animation_btn.onPress = function()
I was wondering what the problem is... I'm sure any advanced AS coder could solve this easily. If you need more information, read this explanation of the animation...

It consists of 450 frames, and should, overall, act as a button. When the user hovers their mouse over the button, the animation should start. After reaching frame 250, I want to loop it from frame 101-250. When the user clicks, I want it to continue going (ie. not go directly to 251 even if it is at 101, but let it run through), then continue to 400. At frame 400, I want the AS to stop the animation. After a couple seconds, continue from 401 to 450.

The "animation_btn" code is the instance name I gave to the 100% Alpha box on the top of my animation. So firstly, how can I get rid of this error, and secondly, how can I code AS to loop/stop at certain frames?

Hey, I have tried putting together an simple audio player by following the kenneybellew.com tutorials, but cant get it to work right. The song starts when it has finished streaming alittle of the mp3, and the off/pause button works, but I cant get it to start/play again from the pause position..

Can anyone help?

Heres the AS:

Code:
//Load myMusic, load mp3
myMusic = new Sound(myMusicMc);
myMusic.loadSound("****_the_world.mp3", true);
playing = true;
//Repeat
myMusic.onSoundComplete = function() {
trace("MyMusic has completed");
playing = true;
myMusic.start()
}
//Hiding Play button
play_btn._visible = 0;
//Controlls; on/start, pause/off
play_btn.onRelease = function() {
if (playing != true) {
playing = true;
pause_btn._visible = 1;
play_btn._visible = 0
trace ("Play button pressed")
myMusic.start(myMusicPosition, 0);

playing = false;
pause_btn._visible = 0
play_btn._visible = 1

Elastic Effects ? Any Links To Tuts Or .flas
A good example of this, would be at:

http://www.loungeretail.com

Ive seen this effect numerous times around the net, as Im sure most of you have, but I've never got around to learning how-to do it, any suggestion about going and creating that sort of vertical or horizontal elastic effect with I think MCs ?

As you can see, any help would be great, tutorials or links to open-source sites that have this sort .fla Im looking for, to study the method they used.

Pathing?
I've got this script in an swf that is being called into another.
The code works if I just play the swf that it is contained in, but
stops working when I bring it in my main movie.

Why?

nar = new Sound(nar_MC);
function playPage() {
nar.stop();
nar.attachSound("050_1");
narVolume = 100;
nar.setVolume(narVolume);
nar.start();
}
playPage();

Pathing
Hi started another thread but I don´t think it was to clear because I didn´t get any answers.

Using a loadVariblesNum in an MC (it´s an mailform ) that is on the maintimline (root)
and have problems pathing to it. Shouldn´t it be something like this.

]
ActionScript Code:
on (press) {       myMc.loadVariablesNum("mailform.php", 0, "POST");}{



Have tried that but no luck, the mail gets sent but from the PHP I´m using it should send a response that the mail is sent but that doesn´t work. Heres the fla.

Llink to fla
