The tough part about this process is that i'm a rookie. I will have to learn flash in about 9 weeks. Then to make the movie will take who knows how long. I want to ask you all for help. What advice could you give me. Be it ideas, or to point me out to a good program to make my movie with. I will be reading alot of tutorials on flashkit.com to learnc all i need to know.

I kinda want the feeling of this movie.

Thanks for any help I get.

Senior C++ Coder Needs AS Help
Hiya all..
Im a very exp c++ coder, and Im trying to pick up actionscript, as a new string to my bow, but I cannot apply what I know onto the AS logic...

Im most interested in the interactive side, but I am unable to find any tutorials that tell me how to do stuff in AS without lots of gumph..
I can play 'gfx' in a 'scene' but I cant get any AS to call functions and stuff..

Ideally...is there anyone around that can offer 1-1 MSM assistance, or at the very least, pointer to a tutorial, that assume coder knowledge, just a How to do it in AS style teaching...

Thanks again for your interest.

Anyone interested please email smallpryz2pay@hotmail.com

Senior Members Etc Choose MX
How come most of you use MX as opposed to 2004? Usually people flock to new versions of software yet people seem to tiptoe around 2004. I've started trying to use 2004 and with the lack of normal mode (on AS) i've been struggling. Is MX better to use? Your opinions please!

Thanks

Help With My Senior Project, Random Functions?
Ok im a senior in college, with a little bit of experience in flash... i have flash 6 installed on my computer right now. The experience i have is just with making graphics/text animated... Thought it would be fun to make something with flash (have about 5 weeks to do this) My idea was to make a mini game show

its going to be set up kinda like jeopardy, with 4 main categories, then i want to have it generate a random question from about 25 questions (for each category). I also want to keep a total for each player, and declare somewhere a winner when a certain score is met, or maybe even have a bonus round?... I would also like to incorporate some WAV files and have the characters mouths move when they are speaking

i have the intro made, but no coding yet.. i have a few questions

1. will using actionscript be to hard to a newb like me? i have experience in c++, SML, SQL, pascal, binary, machine code, VB, Ruby... is it similar to any of these?

2. Is it possible to make flash generate random questions (that i will make)?

3. any advice?

Please be nice to this newb heh thanks

How Hard Should I Make It? (senior Project)
I am interested in making something using Flash for a senior project, but I don't have any experience in Flash, and I don't know what is within limits for me to do for project. I have to have at least 30 hours of time logged in making whatever it is I will be making, but that is about it for requirements. I was planning on making a Flash game but after reading some of these replies I don't know whether I would be able to do it. What type of project would I be able to complete? I am interested in animation, flash games with actionscript, but not building websites with flash. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

For Senior Members Regarding Actionscript Controling Browser
hi all, this is for flash 5

i have spoken with developers on the dw forums and found that you cannot actually not cache a page in plain html, my site does not require this but as i have many popup windows it would be nice so i was wondering if there is an actionscript that could make sure that the html page it appears in is not cached by the browser ???

thanks

New Member Needs HELP
Help! We just released a site to a client who has noticed some scripting problems. Sure enough...when you click on only a couple of links in the drop down menu on the flash "splash" page...and try to enter the frame supported html site.....the following comes up in the address bar just after the url: P=149881&S=149884?rollOver=%2A%28%2D1%29. No page...no navigation...only the frame. There is also a script error located at the bottom of the browser . This seems to be happening when you click on a link before the entire flash loads. It is very inconsistant. HELP!!! What can I do to prevent this? All of the code appears to be correct. What could be causing the problem? Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Hello everyone! I am new to Flash and KoolMoves, but I hope to be a quick learner. I will probably ask a few questions along the way so please bear with me. I am currently trying to familiarize myself with the newest version of KoolMoves and plan to later move on to Flash 5 or 6, and some Actionscripting as well. One of my very first attempts to construct a Splash page took me about 2 hours to make from the time I downloaded the program and can be found at the following addy:

Hi, I would love to learn flash and I've been parusing your Board for a couple of days now.

I think with some help, perhaps I can figure out or maybe I can get some help with a project that I need to have done.

I have a Board of my own and someone was very kind in making me a flash form type of tool so people could subscribe to the newsletter.

I've since changed my email address and unfortunately, it's not going to work due to the code she embedded within it.

I've downloaded a flash de-coder, but I don't see anywhere (or perhaps I'm just too ignorant LOL) to put a new email address.

Can someone please help me with this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BTW if you'd like to see the form for th newsletter, it's HERE

It's located on the sidebar (has a little kitty on it )

Hi all,

I've nearly finished my website and was just stuck on menu system.

Basically I have a glass orb effect and when the mouse rolls over the hit area (which is slightly larger than the glass orb) a looped animation plays and the menu slides out from the orb. This was all done and working with the normal movie clip up, over down and hit states.

The problem I have is two fold, firstly:

When the mouse moves away I need the menu to go back behind the orb, but at the moment it just disappears. It's a 60 frame animation and at frame 30 theres a 'stop' action code, so I need it to play from frame 31-60 when the mouse moves away. (frame 31-60 is just the reverse of 1-30 - basically menu out then in)

Secondly:

When the menu slides out there are three button each on there own layer, but as soon as the mouse moves over to one of the buttons everything disappears because it's outside the glass orb hit area. So I tried creating sepearte hit areas for the buttons, but when I play it back it just flickers like crazy.

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated I'm actually a 3d artist so it's been quite tough for me to learn flash being 2d, but I really felt as though I was getting somewhere until now.

Thx for reading

if anyone please could you make a mini version of it or a tutorial at least!
i would really thank u alot!

New Member, New To Flash.
Hello
New here :]
Anyway im a Graphic design student, during my time off between semesters i decided to dig deeper into some programs we have barely scratched the surface on in school.
I just finished going over the Total Training DVD on Flash 8 and it was quite informative. I enjoyed it so i also ordered the action script dvd and one for illustrator as well. Either way i started developing a flash personal website "almost done with the layout, will post a link for your constructive criticism in a few days". Its more of a portfolio website to showcase my work as i go though school.
Either way i followed a template of some buttons i liked, just used it as a general idea and threw my own twist on these buttons. They were fairly easy but the action script is where i get lost.

Now in the tutorial they give you general scrip to make the button animate on roll over and what not which works well. The link part is what i need to change. When someone clicks say, my "portfolio" button, i want it to open my portfoiol flash picture animation on the main stage, right now its set up to open an external link.

So i guess my 1st question is what do i need to change on my script to get it to open a new "stage" for each link off the main "home" animation.

Here is the script.
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_Portfolio_mc= true;
}
on (rollOut) {
_root.mouse_over_Portfolio_mc= fstartlse;
}
on (release){
getURL("http://www.idontwantaurl.com/");
}

Thanks!

XML And Member List
I need to make a little application that loads a list of member names and then searches through those names to display the name, the phone number and the email address. So far this is what I have going:

- The ComboBox component loads all user names from an XML file.
- When the search button is clicked, the name field is filled out correctly.

When the search button is clicked, I need the correct phone number and email address to pop up in those fields.

Anyone know of a good tutorial that could help me out or can anyone help explain this?

Code:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

search_btn.label = "Find";
search_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, searchFunction);

function searchFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
name_txt.text = comboBox.selectedLabel;
var x = comboBox.selectedIndex;
}

xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);

xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("People.xml"));

function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
ParseBooks(xmlData);
}

function ParseBooks(bookInput:XML):void {
var nameList:XMLList = bookInput.Person.Name;
var phoneList:XMLList = bookInput.Person.Phone;
var emailList:XMLList = bookInput.Person.Email;

for each (var nameElement:XML in nameList) {
comboBox.addItem({label:nameElement});
comboBox.rowCount = 25;
}

for each (var phoneElement:XML in phoneList) {
trace(phoneElement);
}

for each (var emailElement:XML in emailList) {
trace(emailElement);
}
}
Thanks,

Joe

Please Help New Member With Problem
This is the first time I have used this forum and any as it goes.
I have a problem with a simple childrens game i'm trying to develop and my actionscript is not very good but as i'm new to it, i get so much joy when the simplist of things work.

Anyway my game is six paint tins on the stage. When a tin is clicked a colour gets added to that tin. The child has to select 2 colours per tin then mix the colours to see what colour they create. I have all the colours mixing and displaying different colours but want the colours to display randomly and not in the set order they currently are.

At the moment I have a movie clip called colours containing 12 image colours on 12 frames. When the paint tin is clicked the colour gets added to that tin and the code tell the movieclip colours to goto next frame and so on until frame 13 where a message is displayed saying "you have used all 12 colours"

What I want is on press to go to a random frame (between 1-12) in colours movie clip, Select that colour, check to see if that colour has been selected before, if it hasn't return colour to tin and select next random colour. If the colour has been selected then select another random frame colour. Once all colours have been selected goto message.

Here is a bit of code that is on the paint tins at the moment. this code and more is on all six paint tins.

ActionScript Code:
on (press) {
if (_root.redcontent == 0) {
this._parent.colours.nextFrame();
if (_root.colour == "red") {
this.redred.nextFrame();
_root.red = true;

} else if (_root.colour == "blue") {
this.redblue.nextFrame();
_root.redblue = true;

And so on for all colours.

Sorry this message is so long but would apreciate any advice.

Thankyou

New Member...need Music Help Plz
Hi, Im a comparitive newcomer to the world of Flash, and having great fun creating my first Flash based site. Thing is, I've stumbled across a problem, and Im not sure how to resolve it. Ive read through some of the posts in here, but havent really found an answer to my problem, so here goes with my first post for help :

I have created a site, using Flash 8 , ad the site has 5 pages to it. On page 3 of the site I am looking to add some music , an MP3 file ( Ive already imported it into my library). OK, thats as far as Ive got . At the moment the music seems to start as soon as the site is opened up in a browser. I dont want this to happen. Only when I open Page 3 of my site do I need this music. ( the music also starts afresh each time I open up one of the 5 pages too, which is driving me nuts.,...lol ) Soooooo...if anyone can shed a little light on this, I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks ~~ andy whitham ~~

New Member: Fade In Question
Greetings!

This my first post to Flash Kit, and I have a question. I'm running Flash 6.0, and trying to fade in text (which I have already converted into a graphic symbol). When I select 'Play' from the menu bar, the fade in works fine. However, when I select 'Control -> Test Movie' the animation does not play. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting I should be aware of?

Bob

New Member, Newbie Question...
Hey everybody- my name's Andrew. Glad to be on board.

I just signed up because, yep, you guessed it- I'm kind of stuck. I've got a movie with different graphics that fade in and out on a timeline one after another (fading in/out names of songs for a flash player www.velella.net/flash/player.swf), but when I remove a keyframe from between the different fade ins/outs (see frame 84 below)- it turns the instance of the second graphic (Pray tell Mr. Tell.loop) into an instance of the one before it (Do not fold do not bend.loop). For the LIFE of me I can't figure out why this is- I've created the text from scratch, turned it into a graphic (so I can apply alpha effects to it) and applied the tweening with an empty keyframe of separation between the two tweens. I set the tween setting on the last frame of the previous one to "none" too.

The easy solution is to just leave th keyframe in, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let some program outwit me, and I know if I don't come up with a solution to this now, it'll dog me regularly in future projects.

The frustrating thing is I managed to make a number of these things work just fine (see frames 10-84) and I can't wrap my head around this one. Any ideas?

Creating A Member Of A Class Which Also Is An Mc?
hi.
im making classes to create different things which i mainly draw with the drawing-API.
right now, when i create a member of the class, the constructor gets called, which creates a new mc with the things i want. and to be able to use methods of the class for the mc, i have to target the member of the class, which has a reference to the mc. and when i want to change props like _x and _y of the mc, i have to target it directly instead (unless i make a method for that) and this gets very confusing.

so in short, how can you kind of make an instance of a class, which also is an mc? oh, and i dont want to have to have an mc in the library which links to the class.

any answer apreciated. thanks

New Member With A Different Sort Of Question
Hello all! I am Link7148, and I am just starting out in this Flash business. I've recently purchased a Flash editor, but it's not Macromedia--which brings me to my question.

My program is called Namo FreeMotion 2006, and is able to import .swf files, and is compatible with movies created with Flash 4, 5, 6, and 7. It can NOT, however, open .fla files. It uses its own file format to save projects.

Herein lies the question: Will most of you still be able to help me in any Flash related query? Also, I know that I can't use the .fla's, but can I still use the .swf file (if available) to observe? And will the plugins be compatible with my program, or will I have to find something to convert them? Or am I just out of luck in that respect?

Well, those are my questions, so I now await your answers. I thank you for your time. Link7148 out.

Hi - New Member - Some Noob Problems
hi guys,

got a few questions stacking up so thought this looked like a good place to straighten a few things out

• firsly how can i set up my move to scale down if it doesnt all fit into the browser windows? (on lower resolutions)

• after holding down a certain button for a set time (say 20 seconds) i want it to then go to a specific frame on my main movie... i tried adding a goto action within a movie clip which is in the down setion of the button, but it gets ignored... any ideas?

• lastly, after 35 seconds, the hover sounds stop working on one of my buttons for no reason, there cant even be an event that would trigger this at 35 seconds as that is 700 frames and no part of my movie stretches that far

so there we have it, my first questions on this excellent board, i look forward to becoming good at flash and becoming one of the guys that does the answering

Can't Access Class Member
Anyone have any thoughts on why the loadImage() method of the attached class (SmartImage.as) can't access the class's loadListener property? I have a suspicion that it has something to do with the funky way the object is instantiated (necessitated by the fact that the class is extending MovieClip).

Member Area Login
Hi, I am a noob trying to use some flash action script for a simple member area login. Security isn't a major concern and it is ok for all members to share a common username and password. I have tried to adapt a tutorial script but it doesn't work. I am finding that the login works no matter what you type in each input text field and the dynamic text (var=mess) doesn't show in the dynamic text field. What am I getting wrong?

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("s1");
}
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("s2");
}
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mess="Members login below";
if (text1=="customer") {
mess="Try again!";
if (text2=="shitcreek") {
mess="Try again";
if (text1=="customer" & text2=="shitcreek") {
}
}
}
getURL("http://www.mywebsite/members.htm", "_self");
}

Thanks for any help
