Scrolling Image Autostart? Code Included...Please Help
I am trying to make an image scroll from top to bottom. As ur mouse goes over it, you can scroll it back up or down. It stops at the top and bottom. But I can't get it to have a default scrolling speed and direction for when there is no mouse on it. Here is the code I have on the movie clip! Thanks!
onClipEvent (load)
{
ycenter=150;
speed=1/30;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame)
{
var distance=_root._ymouse-ycenter;
_y+=(distance*speed);
if (_y > 800) _y=800;
if (_y < -535) _y=-535;
}
The if statements stop it at the top and bottom. I still need those to work after we get it to start scrolling. I need it to act as if the mouse is already at the top of the .swf file. Thank you!

Help With Image Scrolling Code
I found this code and would like to modify it so that the mouse is only active in a zone that is controlled both in the x and y direction. The code currently scrolls the images whenever I mouse into the zone, the zone however is the the full height of the movie between an area starting at x,230 and ending at x,430. How can I specify a "y" coordinate? I want to specify a specific active region that like 200 pixels square or something like that. Does that make sense?
Code:
//this code is for constant mouse drag
onClipEvent(load){
low = 230;
high = 430;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(_totalframes*(Math.min(Math.max(low,_root._xmouse),high-1)-low+1)/(high-low)));
}

What's Wrong? Code Included
What is wrong with the following :
function GetAppArea_Result(result) {
// result is a 2-dim array
var arraylength = result.length;
//result[0][0] contains a string for example "Food"
var MainAppArea = result[0][0];
//ListBoxToFill will contain a string being the name of the listbox-//component in which to fill the rest of the data from result
// a trace maessage shows that ListBoxToFill contains the string:
// MainAppAreaListBoxFood
var ListBoxToFill = "MainAppAreaListBox" + MainAppArea;
for (i=1;i<arraylength; i++) {
//The following line should add the data to the listboxcomponent bud..
// it doesn't !!! However if I would replace:[ListBoxToFill] with ea.:
// MainAppAreaListBoxFOOD than it works
[ListBoxToFill].addItemAt(i-1,result[i][0],result[i][1]);
}
}
The problem is somewhere in the correct use of brackets,point-notation in the additem command in the last line.
Question is, what is wrong?
Two Questions.. Code Included..
1. why in the world is
ActionScript Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
not working.. the stage align right above it works fine.. ??? but as soon as I uncomment it, it errors out when played.
2. I'm trying to determine what needs to be added to an "ADDED_TO_STAGE" function in order to use a preloader swf.. i've got the preloader working, but i know that it's throwing a null because of a null object reference.. usually stage right?? well I've tried a bunch of different things and it's just not happening.. any suggestions..

A Lot Of Code And Included Files
I have a movieclip named ready, that onRelease I want some files to be included.
If the included files have a lot of code it doesn´t work, the button becomes inactive.
if the first included file has a lot of code and the counter=2 it doesn´t work. I assumed that the included files could have a lot of code because only one option is possible at time. I mean if counter=2, the option counter=1 is of no interest and it shouldn´t matter how much code counter1.as has.
Code:
ready.onRelease = function(){
if (counter==1 ){
#include "counter1.as"
}else if (counter==2 ){
#include "counter2.as"
}
}
First I tried to have all code in one frame without any included files but when that didn´t work I tried with the included files, now when that doesn´t work either, what to do if you have much code???
I have worked with this for a week now.
Help With Actionscript - Code Included
This flash gallery is wonderful, however, since I do not know actionscript I need some assistance figuring out where to implement the order in which the pictures are loaded. This code views everything in the images and thumbs directory and loads it. 1, 2, 3, 4, (.jpg).
The more pictures we add to the directory, the higher we make the number of the jpg. (51.jpg, 52.jpg, 53.jpg, etc) the number grows. How do we make it so all new images are loaded FIRST on the left and not on the right? I have attached the fla.

Can Someone Help Me Figure This Out? (code Included)
I am building a Trivial Pursuit type game, basically just to see if I can, and because trying to things like this is how I learn. I know Flash and no programming, I use it with a web design & graphics design background, mainly for graphics, but I want to learn to use it for more. My husband who is helping me knows programming (anything for any flavor of UNIX, PHP, C++, you name it) but knows NOTHING about Flash or Actionsript. So our problem is one of - he has to try and find the code specifics to make a variable global, and I don't even know what that means, but I can describe what I want.
Problem: In frame 1 the user drags their game piece onto the board, and selects the corresponding trivia category, which takes them to another frame to get the question, then another frame to get the answer, then finally back to the first frame so the next player can roll & go. When the user returns to frame 1, the game piece is back where it started, not where it was dragged to. I would like to figure out how to make the game piece "remember" where it last was, and when going back to frame 1, return to the coordinates it was most recently dragged to, so the game can be "ongoing" and people don't have to try & remember where they were.
The code: "dragMe_GamePiece_Orange" (contains dragBut_GamePiece_Orange) is the game piece symbol we used for testing purposes, which is why the code for it will look different than the code for the other colors. My husband added some trace stuff that indicates things are working, but being prevented from "being called" or something.
The "Background" layer contains this code in FRAME 1 - the first part is what we've done for the questions, and it works great. The second part is for the game pieces:
_global.run_once=0;
if(!_global.blue)
{
_global.blue=2;
_global.green=7;
_global.orange=12;
_global.red=17;
_global.yellow=22;
_global.pink=27;
_global.question=1;
if(_global.run_once=0){
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_x=503.2;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_y=65.0;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Blue_x=548.6;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Blue_y=65.8;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Pink_x=595.4;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Pink_y=65.3;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Yellow_x=552.4;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Yellow_y=108.7;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Green_x=596.3;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Green_y=112.2;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Red_x=597.5;
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Red_y=158.7;
_global.run_once=1;
}
}
stop();
The orange game piece in FRAME 1 (in the "Pies" layer)contains this code:
on (press) {
startDrag (_root.butGamePieceOrange);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_y=getProperty(_root.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange,_y);
_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_x=getProperty(_root.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange,_x);
}
In the "Dice" layer, the button for the dice (works fine) contains this code:
on (release) {
trace(_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_x);
frame = Number(random(6))+1;
tellTarget ("/left") {
gotoAndStop(/:frame);
setProperty("", _rotation, random(360));
}
}
The "Pies" layer (containing all the game piece movie clips) contains this code in FRAME 1:
setProperty("_root.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange",_y,_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_y);
setProperty("_root.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange",_x,_global.dragMe_GamePiece_Orange_x);
Can someone please help a non-programmer who knows Flash WYSIWYG, and a strong programmer who known no Flash figure out what we've done wrong?
If anyone would be willing, I can also e-mail the .fla file.
Password Problem (code Included)

Random Not Working(code Included)
Code:

Problem With Calendar (code Included)
Hello there! I'm new to Flash programming, and got an university project that includes a working calendar. I've got some stuff working, had to copy and migrate some code from some random actionscript 2.0 sources ( couldn't find any calendar help for 3.0 : ).
Anyway, here it goes:
Code:
function createTextField(x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):TextField {
var result:TextField = new TextField();
result.text = "" + helper.dayValue;
result.x = x;
result.y = y;
result.width = width;
result.height = height;
result.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;
result.defaultTextFormat = format;
result.backgroundColor = 0x666666;
result.border = true;
result.textColor = 0x000000;
//assinala a Data actual ( não parece funcionar)
var now:Date = new Date();
if((now.getFullYear()==currentYear)&&(now.getMonth()==currentMonth)&&(now.getDate()==helper.dayValue)){
result.alpha = 50;
}
addChild(result);
return result;
}
function loading(){
var zeroDate:Date = new Date((currentYear),currentMonth,1);//cria um novo objecto Date
var zeroDay:Number= zeroDate.getDay();//busca o dia
if (zeroDay==0){zeroDay=7;}//fazer do domingo o sétimo dia
var increment:Number = zeroDay-1;//incremento é igual ao nº de dias passado desde o 1º
var numberOfDays:Number = numDays[currentMonth]+2;//calcula o nº de dias no mês actual
//trace (numberOfDays);
var xpos:Number = 200 + 26*increment;//a posição x inicial. 26 é a largura da caixa
var ypos:Number = 90;//posição y inicial
//chama a função principal
drawDays(zeroDay,numberOfDays,xpos,ypos);
}
function drawDays(zeroDay,numberOfDays,xpos,ypos){
for(i=zeroDay-1; i<zeroDay+numberOfDays-3; i++){
//escreve uma nova linha quando deve
if ((i==7)||(i==14)||(i==21)||(i==28)||(i==35)){
xpos = xpos-182;
ypos = ypos+20;
}
createTextField(xpos, ypos, 26, 20)
xpos = xpos+26;//incrementa a posição para o próximo
helper.dayValue ++;//incrementa o dia
}
}
loading();
stop();
Sorry about the portuguese comments, just nvm them :P
The problem is that Flash just "freezes" after drawing all the days' textboxes. I don't even know what's wrong because the built in debugger kinda freezes as well.
Any ideas / suggestions on how to make this work, or on what to change to make it a better calendar?
Any help is appreciated, if needed i can supply full code.
PS: All my code is written in the timeline, I don't have any external files.
HELP I'm Confused And Dunno What I Did Wrong (code Included)
hi i am making this game and i have a MC (fish) and a door. when i click a button on a door it should make the fish varible play the next frame which makes the door play the next frame.
on (release) {
fish.nextFrame();
}
that is on the door. and should make the fish play teh next frame.
door.nextFrame();
this is on the frame that teh fish should go to. and it should make the door play the next frame. but it doesn't. both the door and teh fish have stop (); on the frame they are on. but i dont think this would make a difference as it tells the MC's to play next frame. it doesn't work shat can i do?

Can't Get Remoting Working (CFMX), Code And URL Included.
I'm having a lot of problems getting flash remoting to work. I have installed the AS 1.0 remoting components and am using Ben Forta's first simple example in the book CFMX App. Const. Kit. I'm using a hosting place that
says it supports Flash Remoting. The only thing I'm unsure of is where to point to get the NetServices.as. I have asked the hosting company but they have not gotten back to me yet. I'm using an html page to deliver this.
I'm pretty certain I have everything right since I copied it directly from the book. I have created a datasource called owsdb and have created a CF datasource pointing to that database, it points to this datasource in the Application.cfc. I can not get the Simple Search function to work. I don't get any errors I just get nothing.
Here's my Actionscript, CF code, and URL.
Actionscript:
#include "NetServices.as"
// --------------------------------------------------
// Application initialization
// --------------------------------------------------
if (inited == null)
{
// do this code only once
inited = true;
// set the default gateway URL (this is used only in authoring)
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://hosting2.hosting-coldfusion.com/flashservices/gateway")
// connect to the gateway
gateway_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
// get a reference to a service
// In this case, the "service" is the /ows/26 directory in web server root
myService = gateway_conn.getService("ows.26", this);
}
CF code:
<!---
Filename: SimpleSearchProvider.cfm
Purpose: Provides a simple film search service for a Flash MX movie
--->
<!--- We are expecting a SearchString parameter from Flash --->
<cfparam name="FLASH.searchstring" type="string">
<!--- Query the database for any matching film records --->
<cfquery name="searchQuery" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#" maxrows="1">
SELECT *
FROM Films
WHERE MovieTitle LIKE '%#FLASH.searchstring#%'
</cfquery>
<!--- Set the FLASH.Result variable to the summary of the returned film --->
<!--- This will be available as the “result” variable in the --->
<!--- SimpleSearchProvider_Result handler within the Flash movie --->
<cfset FLASH.result = searchQuery.summary>

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been trying to figure this out for a week.

[F8] Bullet Rotation Problems (Code And Screeny Included)
I am having an issue with rotation. I have a gun that fires bazooka rounds that fall to the ground after being fired. So far, they fire, slow down, and fall downward, but as soon as the bullets are pointed down they rotate all crazy and just fall straight down.
Heres my code for the bullet:
Code:
speed = 30;
function onEnterFrame() {
speed -= speed*0.02;
gravity = (30-speed);
xnum = speed*Math.sin(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180));
ynum = speed*Math.cos(this._rotation*(Math.PI/180))-gravity;
var angle:Number = Math.atan(((xnum)/(ynum)));
var shotangle:Number = (angle*180/Math.PI);
this._rotation = shotangle;
this._y -= ynum;
this._x += xnum;
}
Here is a sped up example screeny:

Text Scrolls Forever..how Do I Get It To Stop? My Code Is Included.
Hey..I have the following code for the actions of my buttons. Right now the text will scroll for days. How do I get it to stop when the text is at the top or bottom?
THANKS. vv
ActionScript Code:
//scrollUp.onRollover = function(){ //makes a loop so the movie clip will be scrolled as long as the mouse is over the button onEnterFrame = moveUp; }scrollUp.onRollOut = scrollUp.onDragOut = function(){ //ends the loop so the content stops moving when the mouse leaves the button onEnterFrame = null;}scrollDown.onRollover = function(){ onEnterFrame = moveDown;}scrollDown.onRollOut = scrollDown.onDragOut = function(){ onEnterFrame = null;}//functions called to move the content mcfunction moveUp(){ content._y -=5; updateAfterEvent();}function moveDown(){ content._y +=5; updateAfterEvent();}
[CS3] Load/Unload - Here We Go Again (image Included)
I've read various forum posts on load/unload. At this point I am not going to ask for specific code. Instead, I'll just ask a construction question for my project. I think I can work my way through code even though I am a newbie.
Question/Project
I plan a main screen with buttons. Each button would launch a video. Each video would play into this same window (where the buttons are). At the end of each video clip I need for the video to close(unload?) so the user would have access to the buttons again to play another video.
The direction I want to focus learning is putting a cue point at the end of each swf. Then I would reference this cue point with an unload action. Is that the correct direction I need to go?
As a secondary point, if the user does not want to play the loaded swf to the end where the cue point would trigger close(unload)....would I put a button into each video swf that the user could close(unload) the playing video. Basically I might have the button say "Close this video" on roll-over. Is this also the correct way to construct this.
The bottom line is how should this project be constructed?
Thanks.
Loading Of External Image Not Included In Preloader
Okay... I now know that I can load a jpg dynamically from the server at runtime using the loadMovie() method. But the loading of this image is not included in my preloader for the rest of the swf and therefore my swf movie plays before my image is loaded.
How can I include the loading of a loadMovie() in my preloader for the mainmovie?
Release Button - Image Stays (FLA Included)
I have this movie so close to working. All i need to figure out now is when you push a button, and image appears, and when you let go, it stays there.
It sounds like the simplest thing but i just can't figure it out.
I have script set to each button on the root level so that when they are pressed it pulls a bunch of links from a text file.
If you double click the buttons you can see that on the hover state it changes the button face and shows a different title.
Currently I put the unrolled map on the Down and Hit state, but when you play the movie, as soon as you press a release a pressed button the unrolled map image disappears.
If someone can please help me with this I'd appreciate it greatly, the Deadline clock for this project is well passed due.

[F8] Water Effect Around Girls Legs (image Included)
Hello..
I'm fine with the basics of flash, creating buttons, tweens, shapes, etc. However, I've been trying to figure out how to animate the water around this girls legs so that appears to be moving. I've searched on the forum to threads dating back to 2004, but a lot of the links/examples there are dead.
I'll be around all day today so if you have any questions, I'll try to respond as soon as possible, and by possible, I mean in a couple of minutes, unless it's night time.
Attatched is the image I want to animate. The girls legs are to be in place, but the water around her should be moving, in the direction you see the first ripples in. I've tried creating graphic symbols to move/fade around, but it looks too fake.
XML Based Horizontal Image Scroller (src Included): Some Help Needed.
Hello,
I'm currently working on an XML based horizontal image scroller. Since I'm stuck with 2 annoying problems, I decided to share the project's source, and count on the experience of others to try and help me.
As you'll see, it's running pretty good already, only 2 major problems left:
- Bug when scroller moves to the left: the images overlap, and I simply can't locate the problem.
- The tooltip: I can't seem to get it into highest layer (level), on top of everything. When tracing it's depth, it says '-16383'.
As for the rest, I still need to implement 2 remaining functionalities:
- If the sum of the images (width) is smaller than the width of the movie, the images need to be duplicated untill theirs sum's width exceeds the width of the movie.
- I'd like to add a nicer mouseOver effect.
Especially help on the 2 bugs would be greatly appreciated, the other remaining functionality I'll work out myself...

Autostart Help
Hello all. I've been trying to learn more about sound and flash lately and have an existing mp3 player that I need help with.
I've built my own simple mp3 player so far, but this one is a bit more complicated and I'm stuck on one thing...
What needs to be added/changed so that this player will not autostart?
I have tried changing this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,true) to this.sound_obj.loadSound(file,false) but it still autostarts.
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Flash and I've tried searching on this topic for something that will answer my questions for this particular player, but no luck.
So, any help is greatly appreciated. Source code is below.
Thanks,

Mac Autostart With Application
hi there,
my problem is to create an autorun for a cd-rom which
starts a html file with a browser.
autorun itself is working fine, unless u use os X. I think
they just skipped it, so it will work only on os 9 or earlier.
well, if i e.g. create a html file with dreamweaver, autrun will
open the html file NOT in a browser BUT in dreamweaver.
the windows autorun for the same thing works fine, if u use stuff
like runfile.exe in addition.
so does any1 have a clue, how to solve this or if there's a similar
utility for mac??
as usual every help appreciated

Loadmovie Must NOT Autostart. How To Do This?
Hello :-)
Maybe one of u knows the answer to this problem.
I have a swf, lets name it swf1. In swf1 a movieclip is playing. During the playing of swf1(the user is watching the movie) I load a second swf (lets name it swf2) with the ‘loadmovie’ action. I only want to do this because on the next page of my website swf2 is needed. So by ‘preloading’ it, it’s already in the browsers cache and the user doesn’t have to wait for swf2 to download when he surfs on. Now the problem. Swf2 is a movie clip with video and sound. When swf1 is playing and swf2 is fully loaded, swf2 begins playing to. I know this is the normal behaviour of AS and the loadmovie command. The result is that swf1 and swf2 are playing over each other. That’s not what I want.
1. Is it possible to give a loadmovie command the option NOT to start playing when it is loaded? When yes, how to do this?
2. If 1 is not possible, can i mute the sound of a loaded movie?
3. If 1 and 2 are not possible, are there other ways to ‘preload’ swf’s in the background (without playing them) for later use on the website?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greetings, Luut.
