Urgent Help: How To Remove The Accumaltion When Show Movies Step By Step With Buttons
I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.

I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove the accumulation from previous frames?

For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What should I do?

I need to fix this immediately.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Emil Form Tutorials- Would Like A Step By Step Guide
Hi all.

I'm wanting to create an email form in my Flash site. So that the user enters details like name, email address and message and that then gets sent to my email address. Now i know this requires back end scripting in PHP etc. And really want to give it ago. But would really like a step by step guide that explains things fully and clearly. I'm no idiot in Flash but this is a new topic for me to learn. So if anyone could recommend a really good tutorial that would be great.

Thanks and merry xmas

Erasing LineTo Functions Step-by-step
I have a function that allows the user to draw shapes using the lineTo() function. Is there any way to step backwards and erase the previously drawn segment?

My only thought is to continue to draw, only draw over the previous segment using the background color. This is a little sloppy, though. So I'm looking for something akin to an eraseTo() function.

any thoughts, tutorials, or examples would be greatly appreciated!!

Clicktag Step By Step Instructions For Ad Banners?
Hi, I’m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I’ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I’m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:

on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}

I’m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.

Any info or sample flash files would be great, thanks!

Need A Step-by-step Help In Creating A Complicated Form
Hi! I've asked some help from 'flash8' thread.

but i've decided to ask for help the whole chunk of what i'm trying to do as i'm really new with flash, but i'd like to try doing this as i've been trying to gather bit by bit here and there from kirupa site. but i really am not sure of what i really have to do ...the correct way.

my flash movie would consist of :

a) scrollable menu where my multiple image of png will load into
b) multiple (could also be one image) of png images that will gradually appear into the same folder where my .fla file is.
c) a layer of frame (more of a window, it's scrollable upwards & downwards) - the place for my original sized png image to appear
d) dropdown menu - that will contain form1, form2, form3 [form1, form2, form 3 will represent which part of the png image willl be shown in (b): form1 = top, form2 = middle, form3 = bottom]

1) a png image (possible that the png image will come in multiple) will load into my flash movie automatically, specifically all of them will load on a scrollable menu one after another, side by side with the png image size reduced to fit into the menu.
2) once i click one of the png image on the menu, the image will appear beneath its [like what i've explained in (c)]. this image is scrollable only upwards & downwards within the windowframe, and it should be the original size (not the reduced one to be fit into the menu)
3)below, there's a dropdown menu [i've explained in (d)] that will be chosen from, let's say form1 is chosen. the window where the scrollable png image is, will show the part where i set form1 is for.

please help me.

thank you so much if anyone could help me with this.

Need Step By Step FME To FMS To Web Client Info
I am new to FMS and FME. I have streamed media for several years using Windows Media Encoder (WME) to a third party server and then to clients on the net. I am trying to do the same thing with FME and FMS while bypassing the third party server. I am having no luck and getting errors when I just try to stream to FMS from FME even after trying other forum threads. Here's my info:

Wnidows 2003 server
Server IP address 192.168.0.1
Router Address 192.168.0.2: port 3601 open
Dynamic IP address on ISP (I can get my current ip address from "whatismyip.com. I also use "No-IP.com to provide a static address).
I am using a Viewcast 230 Video capture card which seems to be working perfectly with FME. So that's not a problem.

I do not have Dreamweaver or Flash CS3 on this machine. However I do have them on another computer.

I need the "type this for Dummies" approach. And, then, what do I tell clients to enter in their browser in order to view my stream?

Preloader:step By Step Tutorial Please?
Hello,

I have searched a lot of places concerning making a preloader with a percentage indicator in 2004.

Is there a step by step tutorial just for Flash MX 2004? Not for any other version but Flash Mx 2004?

Yes I read the sticky and no it doesn't solve all of my preloading problems becuase I don't really understand what it is talking about lol

I need something concrete and easy to follow. Everything I've tried doesn't work or is really for another version.

Thanks.

Step By Step Flash And Usability
I know this may be annoying to some but I'm wondering if there is a tutorial or site that explains the development of a site step by step from preloader, thru intros to how objects animate into position to form the site layout and navigation. sort of like http://www.one9ine.com to give one example.

Also wondering if there are any on accessability and usability - something that seems to be not thought of very thoroughly in many Flash sites.

New Component Help - Progress Bar In MX
Ok, i've just downloaded the component set 2. Basically, i've got a movie - about 160 kb in size. It's got two scenes - the first being a pre-loader.

In my pre-loader at present, i've just got a simple animation, but i'm guessing the new progress bar shows the percentage loaded.

Thing is, I know it's not just a case of dropping this onto a new layer in my pre-loader, how do I get it to work?

Progress Bar Component
Can someone please give me a detailed explanation how to use this in Flash MX? I've already gone through all the documentation and every thread I can find and I still can't get this thing to work. All I want to do is to check if the whole swf file is loaded then play. I've tried bytesLoaded as well and nothing.

I've tried this already:

pBar.setLoadTarget(this);
pBar.setChangeHandler("onProgress");

function onProgress() {
// when loaded, start the movieclip
if (_root.getPercentComplete()>=100) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
}

Progress Bar Component
Hi I'm using a progress bar component with a variable called mysound. It works when I use it but I have lots of sounds that use (mysound). It only works once on the first time using mysound. How can I set it back to zero so that when I load another sound it will work again.

I have the mode set to polled
And the source set to mysound

Probably easy but I checked the documentation and could not find an answer thanks.

Progress Bar Component
I have used the UI progress bar component in Flash CS3 AS2. For some reason the progress bar appears to work fine, when it gets to 100% it loads the movie about 3/4 way down the timeline. Its almost like the movie itself is playing behind the progress bar.

Help! Thanks!

Progress Bar Component Box
I've successfully placed the progress bar component. It works fine, but when the screen first loads I get a hairline box that is eventually replaced with the progress bar.

Why does the box come up at all and how can I get rid of it? I tried changing the theme but all that does is affect the component itself, not the "bounding box."

Progress Bar Component: PLEASE HELP
Here's whats happenening: I have a Flash site that I'm designing. The movie that I'm working with is the main movie into which my external .swf's will get loaded into. Now in the very first frame of my main .swf I have the progress bar component setup running in manual mode (I'm running in manual mode because I'm not using the loader component in conjunction with the progress bar. I figured that I wouldn't need the loader just yet because this is the progress bar for the main movie and not for an external .swf...) with this code:

Code:
var kalarahProgress:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
kalarahProgress.mode = manual;
kalarahProgress.indeterminate = true;
kalarahProgress.maximum = _totalframes;
kalarahProgress.minimum = 0;
kalarahProgress.setStyle ("themeColor", "haloBlue");
Now when I test it in FlashMX 2K4 Pro using "Simulate Download", everything works fine EXCEPT: Theres this white box that shows up right where my progress bar is in the first frame. After the progress bar loads (itself) then, you actually see the "candycane" indeterminate load bar and then after my other frames in the movie loads, it goes into my second frame and everything is cool. How can I make that white box go away? I tried using actionscript that would make the progress bar invisible until after it finished loading and then go to visible, but when I tried that, the component never came back visible. I just need to make that white box go away, it's taking away from the "beauty" of everything else. Also, my load bar doesn't show any percentages. It just flashes "loading" until after the rest of the frames are loaded. How can I get it to show the percentage of whats loaded so far? Thanks for any assist that anyone may be able to give me. To download a copy of my .fla, just click here.

Progress Component For MC
How do I fix a progress bar component to a blank Mc, so that when the load is triggered by a button I can see the load progress?

Progress Bar Component Help
Hey all,
I've created a site that loads seven swf files into corrosponding mc and am trying to use the progress bar component to preload everything. The idea is to have the area blank until all data has been loaded (other animations/tex areas that read from a database/etc). I am running into some snags.... the progress bar works (sort of) but...

a: never reaches 100% before it starts displaying the swfs

b: I have a feeling that the preloader isn't really preloading all of them, just the last in my list.....

here's the site.
http://www.bulletfactory.com/superblackmarket/

here's the preloader code.... If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it!! My guess is the addListener section may be the culprit

Code:
mainContainer._visible=false;

var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;

my_pb.setStyle("color", 0x000000);
my_pb.setStyle("fontFamily", "Arial");
my_pb.setStyle("fontSize", 11);

var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();

mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
//my_pb.label = "loading: " + target_mc._name;
};
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):Void {
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.ceil(100 * (numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal));
my_pb.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
};

mclListener.onLoadComplete = function():Void {
if (numBytesLoaded == numBytesTotal){
my_pb._visible=false;
mainContainer._visible=true;
}
};

my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);

my_mcl.loadClip("six.swf", this.mainContainer.clipSix);
my_mcl.loadClip("three.swf", this.mainContainer.clipThree);
my_mcl.loadClip("four.swf", this.mainContainer.clipFour);
my_mcl.loadClip("five.swf", this.mainContainer.clipFive);
my_mcl.loadClip("player/sbm_stream.swf", _root.blank);
my_mcl.loadClip("two.swf", this.mainContainer.clipTwo);
my_mcl.loadClip("one.swf", this.mainContainer.clipOne);
Thanks again for any suggestions you may have!!

Progress Bar Component
Hello

If say I have my main movie which will load in parts of the site individually then is it possible to use the progressive bar component?

I saw the tutorial on this site and what it seems to be doing is the bar loads and then once finished it loads in a swf into the loader component (think this would be great if this was the movie being loaded) but not for my main mmovie which loads in various other movies individually

Any ideas?
