Flash :: Silly Problem, But Still A Pain

Silly Questions From Silly Beginners - Nested Movie Clips
hi, i'm in the process of teaching myself flash while trying to update a very very old and poorly made company website. bad combo. so i have what is probably a very silly question with a very obvious answer but i wouldn't mind some help.

there are several embedded movie clips within the main timeline. how do i navigate from the middle of one of the movie clips into the middle of the other. i.e. how can i make a button link to a piece of another movie (frame 53 or what have you).

many thanks

[F8] Dynamic Text + Silly Silly Problem
Hey Guys,

I have a dynamic text that is scrollable and set to multiline.

I'm trying to type several words on the same line and underneath each other to simulate a table but the words won't align the way I want them...

For example:

- some text here - some text here
- some text here - some text here

what i'm getting is this: (they are not lining up underneath each other nicely, its not showing here for some reason)

- some text here - some text here
- some text here - some text here
- some text here - some text here

I tried setting margins and line spacing with no luck...and tried to space them for hours with no results.....this is so simple and stupid that its tearing me apart....

Anyone knows how to fix this???

This Is A Silly Silly Question But ...
HI
i am the newest !
i can do rollovers in Dreamweaver / Firefox.
what i would love to do is have a rollover on a link here or there, and for some text to come crashing in.
i have prepared the movie in Flash, with the text falling into place.
how can i prompt the movie to play if i want someone to rollover a link on the homepage and start the clip ?

PLEASE help, or atleast give me a few key words i should be hunting down. i understand buttons and movie clips but how to bring them into interaction is another bag altogether.
thankyou thankyou thankyou

[CS3] Silly Silly Buttons. Help?
Okay, I have a really strange thing going on here. I'm trying to make what should be a very basic navigation menu. Multiple buttons do multiple things. Simple, right?

on (release) {
trace("Testing!")
}

Now, this works - it shows "Testing!" just as it should. Yet a variant,
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

fails to work entirely! It doesn't make any sense. This works on the other Flash files I've made for the site, and there is a second frame all ready... but... it won't even acknowledge the Goto command. Does anyone have any ideas?

(EDIT) I just noticed that there's a red flag on frame 2, but I have no idea why. (Also, using Actionscript 2, not 3)

Newbie Pain
I'm taking a class in Flash 5 and have to do a website assignment. On my website I have to have a button that launches a simple shape tween movie clip (one layer,15 frames). I can't figure this out even though my teacher, who is great, explained it a few times.(I gotta take better notes!)

I have my button and background elements and movie clip on one layer, one frame, scene one.

Where and how do I make the button turn on the movie clip- and if possible turn it off. I don't just want to put a stop action on the movie- I want the same button to turn it off. OK, that might be a little complicated, but I do want to know how to make the button launch the movie clip.

Do I select the button and add an action? What actions? Do I select the button in symbol edit mode and add actions there? Does my movie clip hve to be added somewhere in one of the button state? I'd appreciate some help- I've tried everything. Got to have assignment done after Christmas break, so Merry Christmas y'all. Please help

Variables Are Being A Pain
this is a little difficult to explain but im gonna try my best.
i've got a flash movie setup to run horse races for my website, the speed at which the horse runs at is transferred from my php to the swf and that works fine. i can display the variable in flash and everything is all dandy. however, when i go to use the speed variable to do anything mathematical it won't work.. i've used the following and the movie clip (with the instance name of race1) won't move. (speed is the variable sent to the swf of the horses speed).
setProperty("race1",_x,speed);
that moves it along the x axis to the point of speed (ie... 470 pixels or something) or at least it's supposed to..
i've tried manually inputting the speed to make sure that it works.. and it does.. doing a set("speed",470); works fine.. but i don't want to do it this way since my php script to begin with will be sending different values to the movie from different races.
you can see it at http://www.equination.net/watch_race...ssword=bubbles
i've also tried doing a set("speed",int(speed)); to make sure it was recognizing the speed as a number for the math but still no luck.. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Textfields Are A Pain
Hello.
I've noticed that when you draw a textfield and type in it, it is all good. However, lets say you type in a word "test". Then yo resize this textbox, the word "test" is stretched and/or scaled.

It seem you have to draw your box, size it to how you want it, THEN, type in it. This is a pain though, maybe my technique is off, I don't know. Any help/technique would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

ScrollPane Pain
Hi all Flashers! Let's see if anyone can help me...

I have a pretty simple scrollpane component situation: I simply have a lengthy menu made up of many buttons, each of which are 10px tall. The scrollpane component is allowing these buttons to scroll in a small confined window.

Basically, I would simply like to modify the scrollpane code so that it isn't so SMOOTH! Instead, I would like the scrollpane to "scroll" 10px at a time incrementally. I know there must be some simple math equation that can do this.

Any help is always immensely appreciated! E-mail me at derekprospero@hotmail.com. Thank you so much everyone!

Best Wishes,
Derek

Easing ..... [my Pain]
I'm making a full flash site with windows that animate in and out of the main movie. I've used easing so they move in quickly and slow down. Is there any way to increase the limit of +100 or -100 without just adding extra keyframes ?

Nice One.

Scrollpane Is A Pain. HELP
I'm trying to use the scrollpane component but can't get it to work. It seems simple enough to use. I've followed the directions perfectly. I create a movie clip, set it to export to actionscript and all that...I then set the path in the scrollpane properties to the same name I gave my movie clip in it's linkage properties. But when I test the flash movie nothing appears in the scroll pane. I've been trying this all day long to no avail. Has anybody else had this problem?

Preloader Pain
I have a preloader to load my main clip...

then I load another swf of bigger size into an empty holder clip within the main swf...

thing is the the second loaded swf's preloader just stays at 100%...now I have hand coded my own in various ways, used preset preloader clips etc...same outcome...

does it have to do with the _root code?

currentbytes = int(_root.getBytesLoaded()/1000);
totalbytes = int(_root.getBytesTotal()/1000);

or is it something else?

ScrollPane Pain
I am trying to access a button that I have in a scrollPane to change it's state. This happens on a cuepoint in my video. Here is my script..
------
listenerObject = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject) {
if (eventObject.cuePointName == "cp_2") {

_root.TitlesMC.button2_btn._visible = false;

trace("Cuepoint Passed");
}
};
myVideo.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
-----

My scrollPane points to a movie clip called "TitlesMC" which contains a button called "button2_btn". I can't seem to access it.

If I put a button out in the main movie and point to it there, it works great - but the button in a movie clip within the scroll pane - can't access it.

Thanks -

A MAJOR Pain In The ***
Please please please help me.

I have been trying to create a simple adding program in Flash 8 for over a week and the code just refuses to work properly. All it has to do is check whether the addition of two numbers (textfield's, term1 and term2) is correct or not and then go to the appropriate frame in the animation.

Here is the code:

Quote:

on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
var num:Number = (_root.term1 + _root.term2);
if (Number(_root.ans.text) == num ) {
_root.anim.gotoAndPlay(4);
} else if (Number(_root.ans.text) != num) {
_root.anim.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

The problem is that no matter what I input as the answer in the textfield ans, _root.anim.gotoAndPlay(4); will always be true.

It's driving me crazy. What am I doing wrong.

'ease' My Pain
I'm using the onMouseWheel function to scroll the content which is all held in 'clip_mc' on my page. BUT, I'd also like to have this content easing out of it's motion if that's at all possible.

Is there anything that can be added to the following or to clip_mc to do this?

Code:
mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) {
clip_mc._y += delta;
}
Mouse.addListener(mouseListener);

I've searched forum after forum and only found one thing similar over at kirupa.com, but it deals with rotation. I can't fathom how to get it working on the _y axis. Any help or heads up on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. :]

Scrollpane Pain
flash cs3

I've noticed that the scrollpane built into flash (dont wanna make my own), once clicked upon, creates a yellow outline. It's very ugly. How do I get rid of it?

I've done the naughty and clicked "export to first frame" and it disappears, but my preloader will start at 80% and then finish from there. (rather than start at 0%)

It's been the most annoying thing for me. I've lived with it, but I hate it. Can anyone help?

Wondered if I could get the benefit of someones experience on something.
I have followed a "simple" Preloader Tutorial and it works just fine on my machine.
However, when I attempt to play the same SWF file through another PC it simply states that it is Loading 0% and doesn't do anything else.
Why is this?

Flash Is A Pain Can Anyone Help?
Right my website is loaded in flash. It includes as blank mc (movie clip) the website has a gallery button. When you press this button it loads an external .swf file via the blank_mc. This is how I am loading content like news etc.

The gallery section loads 3 seperate external files, they are called gallery1 gallery2 etc. These seperate file includes a back and forward button like the ie explorer.

I discovered a bug/problem with the project *scratches his head* When you navigate from gallery1 to gallery2 it seesm to be fine, but when I go back to gallery1 and then go to gallery2 and try to go to the next gallery the button on the 2nd gallery does not seem to respond as i would expect. This shoundn't be happening as my deadline is next week.

Would you like to see a screenshot/demonstration of the problem I am facing with this presentation. Any hint's tips or sugesstions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance

Scroll PAIN Please Help
Before posting, I scanned all forums and have found 2 solutions that frankly I can't interpret or make work with my file! I am attaching movies based on an external xml file. I can't seem to get them to actually "fit" into the scrollpane. I have tried the BgxLoaderFIX.as file that was suggested and worked for another user but I could not get it to work for me. I've tried refreshpane, redraw, and invalidate and can't seem to get it to work. Below I have attached my code, if theres any simple(yeah, right!) way to make my scroll PAIN go away, I would appreciate it. Thanks a ton for reading!!!
OH, yeah, I'm using flash Pro 8.

Attach Code

System.useCodepage = true;
myXML = new XML();
myXML.load("data.xml");
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.parseXML;
myXML.onLoad = StartXML;

docservices.onRelease = function() {
unload.attachMovie;
var _title;
var _team;
var _name;
var _photo;
var p:Number = 0;
for (var a = 0; a<myXML.firstChild.childNodes.length; ++a) {
myArray = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[a].firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling;
myDetails = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[a].firstChild;

moreDetails = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[a].firstChild.nextSibling;
xtraDetails = myXML.firstChild.childNodes[a].firstChild;
for (i=0; i<myArray.childNodes.length; i++) {
allteam = myArray.childNodes[i];
if (allteam.nodeValue == "Document Services") {
_team = [allteam];
trace("team ="+allteam);
if (p<teamArray.length) {
}
p++;
_name = myDetails.firstChild.nodeValue;
_title = moreDetails.firstChild.nodeValue;
_photo = xtraDetails.attributes.photo;
var spacing:Number = 120;
var leading:Number = 35;
var x:Number = p*spacing;
var y:Number = p*spacing;
var z:Number = p*leading;
var rowcount = 4;
var people:String = "Movie_mc"+p+"_mc";
scroller.attachMovie("Movie_mc", people, p);

scroller[people].whoareu.text = _name;
scroller[people].whatudo.text = _title;
scroller[people].Image_mc.loadMovie(_photo);
scroller[people]._width = 100;
scroller[people]._height = 130;

trace("PHOTO ="+_photo);

scroller[people]._x = x;

}

}

trace(p);

}

Scrollpane. Oh....the Pain
Okay. After combing over the many examples of using the scrollpane, I am needing assistance in something I am working on.

The basic idea;

I am loading jpg thumbnails from an XML document into a scrollpane.

Next, I am taking these thumbnails and giving them on Release functionality.

Finally, I am displaying the large picture after the thumbnail has been clicked.

Everything works as intended. EXCEPT, the problem is loading the thumbnails into the scrollpane. Here's the code I have so far;

----------------------------
_global.picxml = new XML();
picxml.ignoreWhite = true;

picxml.onLoad = function(success)
{
if (success) {
parseXmlDoc(this);
}
else trace('xml screw up!');
};

picxml.load("pics.xml");

function parseXmlDoc(xmlDoc)
{
if (xmlDoc.loaded)
{
var yPos = 60;
xmlLength = xmlDoc.firstChild.childNodes;

for( i=0; i < xmlLength.length; i++ )
{

xmlThumb = xmlDoc.firstChild.childNodes[i];
imagePath = xmlThumb.attributes.thumbURL;

targetClip.duplicateMovieClip(i, i);

loadMovie(imagePath,[i]);
this[i]._y = this[i]._y + (i*yPos);

}
}
this.cmpThumbs.setScrollContent(targetClip);
this.cmpThumbs.refreshPane();
}

------------------------------

I think the problem can be that the duplicate movie clips are being named; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. I thought that by setting 'targetClip' to the scroll content would send the duplicate movie clips into the pane, but it does not.

On my stage, I have;

1. Empty movie clip. Instance; 'targetClip'.
2. Scrollpane. Instance; 'cmpThumbs'.

When my movie is created, I am having a look at the objects created;

Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.targetClip"
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.0"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.1"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.2"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.3"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.4"
Shape:
Movie Clip: Frame=1 Target="_level0.5"
Shape:

(FYI; I created the movies like this for my on Release function to connect to the appropriate child node to get the full size picture)

So, I thought that when you duplicate a movie, that I could pull in 'targetClip' into the scrollpane. But it's not. I can see my
thumbnails, but they float above the scrollpane.

Please...help a fellow flasher out. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Whoever can get this for me, I'll give you a cookie.

AS2 - The Pain - Trajectory.
I hate math.... a LOT. My basics are really shocking and I dont even know/remember what simple math like sin/soc/tan is/does let alone do what I need to.

I need help with a proper simple working example on how to make a cannonball launch from a cannon(side view). Ive tried looking around but dont understand the formula and no one gives working examples. I googled "trajectory actionscript" and came up with pages of examples of the formula and dead sample links.

I would research this but I think the fact that I have the attention span of a fish when reading and have VERY limited time to create this game I need help.

Collision Detecion = Pain In The @$$
I am trying to make a VERY simple game but am having some problems. All that the game is, is a ship at the bottom of the screen controlled by the left and right arrow key and a blob that floats aroung the screen. If the blob hits the ship, I want the movie to go to the next frame. The ship and blob move around perfectly fine, but I can't get the movie to play when the blob hits the ship. The code i'm using is:

On the ship MC:

onClipEvent (load) {
xspeed = 0;
left = /boundary:_x-(/boundary:_width/2);
right = /boundary:_x+(/boundary:_width/2);
friction = 0;

}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
xspeed++;
}
}
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
xspeed--;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

xspeed *= 4;
_x += Number(xspeed);
if (_x<left) {
xspeed = xspeed+8;
} else {
if (_x>right) {
xspeed = xspeed-8;
} else {
xspeed *= friction;
}
}
}

and on the blob MC (called enemy):

onClipEvent (load) {
xspeed = 6;
yspeed = 6;
left = /boundary:_x-(/boundary:_width/2);
right = /boundary:_x+(/boundary:_width/2);
top = /boundary:_y-(/boundary:_height/2);
bottom = /boundary:_y+(/boundary:_height/2);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
shipleft = /ship:_x-(/ship:_width/2);
shipright = /ship:_x+(/ship:_width/2);
shiptop = /ship:_y-(/ship:_height/2);
shipbottom = /ship:_y+(/ship:_height/2);
_x += Number(xspeed);
if (_x<left || _x>right) {
xspeed = -xspeed;
yspeed += 3;
}
_y += Number(yspeed);
if (_y<top || _y>bottom) {
yspeed = -yspeed;
xspeed += 3;
}

// This is the part that isn't working

if (_x>shipleft) {
if (_x<shipright) {
if (_y>shiptop) {
if (_y<shipbottom) {
play ();
}
}
}
}

// not working until here

}

The non working part is in the Blob MC (i think) with the comments around it. I also have a MC called boundaries that limits where the ship and blob can go but that part is working fine. Could anybody please help??? Thanx a bundle.

Scroll(layout)pain
hi
i m using a scrollpane to load some text with pics in it. in the mc the pics are placed exactly fitting in the text and all looks great but in the exported version the pic moves. depending on on which browser/windowsize/resolution i use the pic moves higher/lower and into the text or the text moves into the pic don t know which way round .this also happens with the flashplayer when resizing the windowsize. i tried grouping the pic with the textfield (static,use device fonts,auto kern) but no change. any idea how i can make the pic stay where they r supposed to ? i can mail a sample fla with the problem. thx in advance.

i just played around a little more and found out it is the text moving.

Preloader Help. Please. Make. Pain. Go. Away
My preloader doesnt appear until around 30-40%. My computer and connection is sooo fast I hardly see the preloader anyway, but I have had complaints from our client that on his normal slow connection the javascript flash window appears blank for a minute or so hench some people may think nothing is happening and leave!!!. I do see a white clear screen for a few seconds then my preloader comes on. I need my preloader to come on at 1% to make our client happy. Our client doesnt mind the wait that much (cos he thinks its worth it!!) he just needs to see something happening.

The .swf file is just under 1mb. This is my first post and actual web build (I have always designed websites but left all the Flash/Dreamweaver work to someone else, but I have now learnt Flash MX and a little actionscript and Dreamweaver) and I need a little help. Please. Thankyou.

The offending little blighter can be found at www.yorkhouseconstruction.com

Scroll Pane Is Being A Pain
How do you turn off the hairline border for this component. All I want viewable is the scroll bar, and nothing else.

Example here http://www.matthewbarnett.co.uk/temp/code.htm

Scroll Pane Pain
I created a scroll pane component which I named imgScroll and put it on a layer on the main timeline. I created a movie clip named goldDis This movie clip has an image of gold disk placed in it.

I then tried to assign the set scroll content action to the scroll pane component so that it would display the movie clip name goldDis. I did not give the movie clip an instance name but just referred to as goldDis when I needed to add something in the action boxes. Basically the action attached to the scroll pane looks like this:

onClipEvent (load) {
imgScroll.setScrollContent("goldDis");
}

On publishing the movie I see the scroll pane as an outline with the goldDis movie clip inside it. Am I supposed to see the goldDis movie clip inside of the scroll pane when the movie is published? Is there anything I am missing in the above action?

Thanks

Flash Animation Pain
I've been doing basic animation in flash. Eveytime I try to animate the arm of a character past a certain point (the arm is essentially just a straight line) the top of the line swaps with the bottom! The movement is a shape tween.
It's really annoying. I've tried adding shape hints but that hasn't worked.confused:
Can anyone help? Thanks,

Scroll Pane Pain
I have an instance of the scroll pane movie clip on the main timeline.
I have the following code attached to the clip:

onClipEvent (load) {this.setScrollContent("content");

}

I created a movie clip called content which is sitting in the library but not on the stage. The content movie clip has some static text and that's it.

Problem. When I publish the movie I see the scroll pane window however I don't see the movie clip "content" within it.

Thanks ahead for any help.

Regards,

Joe

Mx2004 Scrollpane Pain In The ****
Hi guys,
I have started looking into using AS 2
One of the main reasons for moving onto AS 2 is the new scrollBar, well snazzy.

So ok i start off with a section of my site
News blogg:
Load data from database and attachMovie to populate
code:
for (count=0; count<archiveCount; count++) {
// Attach a news MC to the canvas
holder.attachMovie("bloggs", "news"+count, count);
// Set Y positions for t MC
holder["news"+count]._y = nextY;
// Set details
holder["news"+count].newsTitle = this["news"+count+"newsTitle"];
holder["news"+count].newsViews = this["news"+count+"newsViews"];
holder["news"+count].newsID = this["news"+count+"newsID"];
// Set next MC to be put just below this one on canvas
nextY += Math.ceil(holder["news"+count]._height-2);
}
if (count == archiveCount) {
gotoAndStop(10);
}

With the mx scollpane i would have
code:
thePane.setScrollContent(holder);

How do i attach "holder" to the scrollpane 2004

cheers
paul
P.S When i publish the movie the content is loaded into holder but the scrollpane just has na outlined box round the holder
I am publishing player 7 AS 2
