Strangest Thing So Far: A Bug ?
Hi, the following happened and I can not explain it.
I have a fla. It is a interactive thing for kids, where they use the arrow buttons to move stuff.
Now, as I was finished, I thoughed: these kids can't read, let's explain things visually. But my movie strated at frame 1. hmm.
So I moved the entire thing ten frames further, on frame 1 I let the movie go to frame 150, where my tutorial starts, which repeats once, and then goes back to frame 9 to let them have a ball.
Now, inside Flash MX things work fine. No problem. Really. But as soon as I export the movie, that swf won't work ???? the tutorial is skipped, and the interactivity is blown to pieces.
I tried several things, and after 13 (! ) tryouts I came to the conclusion that one cannot put "gotoAndPlay(150);" on the first frame, it will work when put into frame 5 though ( Thankfully, it gave me quite a shock: 3 hours blown to smithereens ! )
Is this the correct conclusion ??

Strangest Thing...
hi-
i'm building a game with 32 thumbnails as the main user interface. i'm using lee's sliding panel combined with my own button rollOver&Out functions.
everything is working properly however there is the strangest anomaly that I just can't figure out.
i've built it so my thumbnails are MCs. when you rollOver a MC it calls a function to increase the x and y scale to 150%. when you rollOut it calls another function to decrease the x and y scale back to 100%
all working fine.
however, if you roll over and back off of a thumbnail quickly -- after they resize back to 100% the y scale pops back up to 150% - for (to me) no apparent reason. there's no script that would be telling it to do so.
even weirder if you rollover and back out slowly it doesn't do it. only if you do it too fast.
i'm loosing my mind and i can't figure out why it's doing it.
please please take a look and see if you can tell me why it's happening!
i love you long time!

Strangest Thing In Flash
I'm making a game and my guy always follows the mouse but if space is bring pressed my guy stands still. Now the strange thing is that when I start my game... my guy stands still till i tap space. I know what you guys are thinking but listen to this. I checked over my scirpt and he shouldn't do that so when i exit the game and try it again.. it works perfectly. Strangest part is if i leave flash alone for atleast 20 min and try my game again... it messes up and if i exit and keep trying again, it works perfectly. Can someone explain what is happening?

The Strangest Bug Ever.
ActionScript Code:
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = truel
xmlData.load("somexmldoc.xml");
xmlData.onLoad = function(bVerify:Boolean){
if(bVerify){
trace(Stage.width);
}
returns 932 no matter what the stage width really is!
now, Stage.width is a read-only property, how can it be that this code changes it and why?
it does it every time and no matter how much the stage width really is.
how can it be?

The Strangest Bug I've Ever Witnessed...
Hi all. I have to say, this is the oddest bug I've seen while working in Flash and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on what's going on.
I've been working on a fairly simple XML slideshow that uses UI components to allow the user to browse through images with associated text. I wanted to spice things up a bit, so I threw a little transition animation in once the user picked something from the combo box.
I was trying to figure what 'on' statement to use, so I threw a trace function in the 'on' statment to see if everything was working OK. Once I got it all figured out and everything seemed to be working, I took out the trace and everything broke on me. All the XML values be gone after the first transition but it worked fine with the trace.
I'm absolutely clueless on why this would be happening and even more clueless on how to go about fixing this bug. I zipped up the project and threw it on my server at the address below. If anyone is willing to look at it, I would be very, very grateful.

Strangest Problem...
When I hit "Ctrl' + Enter" to test my movie in Flash, it looks fine. But when I view the swf file either in the browser or in the Flash player, one of the clips is not showing up.
The movieclip in question, along with many other clips have the exact code, but only this clip in particular i not showing up when I open the swf file. It does show up, as I noted above, when I test it in Flash.
Is this a known bug?

Strangest Of Problems With Variables
Hi all,
I'm working on a flash file that's reasonably simple, and something very strange is going on. I have an InputText field, where the user types their name. They then click a "submit" button, and the name is passed to a php file via the "getURL" function. I have done this a dozen times before without issue, but something really strange is happening.
When I click the submit button, the variable that should contain the user's name, contains the following HTML code:
"<p align="left"></p>"
The user types "Fred" into the field, but the variable contains the HTML code you see above. Where on Earth is this code coming from? How is it getting into my variable?
Can anyone suggest any clues as to why this is happening? I'm using Flash Professional 8.
Thanks,
brayne

Strangest Issue Attaching Movie Clip
Hi,
i have the following code to build a dynamic menu within a section of a mini-site, attaching the number of buttons movie clips required:
ActionScript Code:
_global.totalPersonajes = 8;
nuevoItem = new Object();
MovieClip.prototype.poblarSubmenu = function() {
for (i=1; i<=totalPersonajes; i++) {
this.attachMovie("moldePersonajes", "sub"+i, i, nuevoItem);
nuevoItem._x =(37*i);
}
};
this function is attached to a movie clip on load.
It works fine, but, when i change section (wich unloads the movie clip in subject) and then come back, the first item is always put at the end of the row of buttons, leaving the first spot empty. Is the most unusual thing, and i guess i cuoldn't do it if i wanted to. When the movie returns to frame one it works fine, but past that frame, it yields that error. I've tried reseting all concerning variables with no luck, tried sending the header to a blank frame a thousand miles away and then come back for the next section, and nothing... i'm running out of ideas...
to see what i'm talking about, here 's the thing i'm working on... if you go to "personajes", you'll see Bruce Wayne as the first item of the top menu... then go to "descargas", then head back to "personajes" and now Bruce is the last button and there's nothing where it was.
Thanks in advance

Making A Thing Any Of Which Will Interact With Any Of Another Type Of Thing
Well i know that title was a bit vague but heres what im trying to do, ive been larning to use flash for the past couple weeks, I'm using flash MX, i am expeirienced in other programming languages. What id like to do is to make an object, in this case a turet, which has code in it and can be duplicated, i know how to do that part, but, i want to be able to make it and copy it, and also have an enemy i can copy, a zobie, and have any of the turrets shoot at any of the zombies that get close. They cant all be pre scripted with eachothers names because i want to be able to create either after the program starts.
Basically, the zombies come out all over during the program and the player clicks where he wants to put turrets and those turrets shoot at whichever zombie is closest to them. Im sure its not that hard, and probably would involve arrays, but since im still learning how flash works im not sure how it can be done. Any help is apriciated, thanks. While i wait for a reply I'm going to read some more on how arays work in flash since i think they may be the answer.

Is This Thing On?
Hey all.
I am helping someone out with a flash presentation. They know very little about flash, and wanted to do it all himself. Things worked "ok" but now we are getting into some functionality problems (didn't see that coming)
The problem: pause the audio (narration)
The other problem: the audio was just dragged into the timeline. Not as a MC
The other problem: everything is in 1 fla file. Not split into external.
First question is, can a pause button even get put in? Could it work?
This is a VERY low paying job, so if its a lot of work....I prolly wont make it happen.
Thank you TONS for any input

Every FLASH expert knows that the above code opens this jpg in a new window, ok fine. That I have sorted. now what i want is that this jpg opens in a new window but without having an address bar. In other words, the window to scale to the size of the picture.
I hope I make sense...

stop();
intro_mc.start_btn.onRelease = function() {

intro_mc.gotoAndStop(2);

Ok Here's The Thing
..Ive got a problem im working on, and im wondering which is the best way to go about it.
Theres a certain number of dynamically loaded .jpgs on the screen, every 2 seconds, i delete 10 of them, and load in another new 10 .jpgs (say combined file size of 50k). This will go on and could end up with LOTS of jpegs being displayed say over 5000 over time.
The thing i'm not sure about, is to allow these .jpgs to be cached or not? I'm worried that its going to fill up the users tempory space for cacheing files, but of course if you allow cacheing then it saves on download time.......which way is best??
thanks for any help..

Fly In Thing
Here's something I made a while back. (I think I even posted it on this site, but that was with an old account, and I can't even remember the account's name anymore...)
Recently souped up to be faster, more efficient, and just overall, cooler.
You give it a picture (Bitmap image or something you just drew in Flash-doesn't matter which) and it constructs it, pixel by pixel. Each individual pixel flies in from the sides of the screen. The trouble is that it takes a little long and is nowhere near practical for anything-uses way too much CPU power. And even when I'm really pushing it in terms of CPU usage, it still takes longer than i'd like for it to finish.
Well, regardless, the image that it winds up with is 100% perfect, and it stops once it's done. Puts in pixels from top to bottom.

Help With This Little Thing Please.
Ok, well I've been messing around trying to improve on my actionscript and I came up with this:
ActionScript Code:
my_color = new Color(object_mc);
myColorTransform = new Object();
object_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
my_color.setTransform(myColorTransform);
myColorTransform.ra = 50;
myColorTransform.rb = _root._ymouse;
myColorTransform.ga = 40;
myColorTransform.gb = _root._xmouse;
myColorTransform.ba = 12;
myColorTransform.bb = (_root._xmouse-_root._ymouse);
myColorTransform.aa = 40;
myColorTransform.ab = 70;
var xMouse = _root._xmouse;
var yMouse = _root._ymouse;
if (Math.abs(xMouse-this._x)<1) {
xMouse = this._x;
yMouse = this._y;
} else {
this._x -= (this._x-xMouse)/6;
this._y -= (this._y-yMouse)/6;
}
};
I have been trying to make this MC rotate via _xmouse/_ymouse but I can't seem to get it to work. Any quick help for me?

The Wierdest Thing
I run this script and it works but then the last duplicate of my movieclip always dissapears I do not get it. Also if anyone can give me suggestions how to make this code more flexible so it can be used by many movieclips at the same time that would be great I am having trouble making this easily customizable, functional, and adaptable for all movieclip instances on my stage.
onClipEvent (load) {
_parent.stop();
num = 20;
n = 1;
ini_timer = Math.ceil(getTimer()/1000);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
elapsed_timer = Math.ceil(getTimer()/1000);
if (elapsed_timer>(ini_timer + 2)) {
while (n<=num) {
_parent.ball.duplicateMovieClip("ball" + n, n);
_parent["ball" + n]._x += _width * n;
n += 1;

Cant Get This Thing To Print
I'm a newbie to Flash and posted this questionn there with no results so I thought I'd try here.
With a little help from my friends here in FK, I figured out how to make my scroll bar work! :-)
Now I need to figure out how to make it print. On my main timeline, I have 3 layers, the second layer is the one I want to have print. It's nothing more than about 4 pages of text.
I've got my button all set up and ready to be assigned an action.
When I try adding the "Print" action, by default it gives me this code:
on (release) {
printNum(1, "bmovie");
}
That seems to print out the 1st layer in the movie, not the 2nd layer I'm trying to print. So I switched the 2 layers around, and that didn't help. I changed the
on (release) {
printNum(1, "bmovie");
}
to
on (release) {
printNum(2, "bmovie");
}
and that didn't help.
Any ideas on how to solve this? I;m using Flash MX
Thanks

Can You Help Me With This Fullscreen-thing?
Hey FlashFreaks, to be short, here's my problem:
I'm opening a Flash-intro in the browser, after the flash intro it goes to the main-preloader and then to the mainsite. So far so good, but what I was trying to do is that I wanted to let the main-movie open in a fullscreen pop-up (with a little "close pop-up"-button in the corner).
How can I do this? I'm familiar with Flash and a little bit with actionscripting....

Are There Any Scripts To Do The Same Thing
Thank you for the information, but I was wondering if there is a script similar to this concept, yet not with the MC increasing is size, but the MC behind in magnifing,
point = new Object();
point.x = _x;
point.y = _y;
localToGlobal(point);
dX = Math.round(_root._xmouse - point.x);
dY = Math.round(_root._ymouse - point.y);
distance = Math.round(Math.sqrt((dX * dX) + (dY * dY)));
threshold = 100;
if (distance >threshold){
distance = threshold;
}
_parent._xscale = (100 + threshold) - distance;
_parent._yscale = (100 + threshold) - distance;

One Little Thing Missing
I'm controlling a MC from different levels and it works fine by using the following expression;
_level0.holder.DI_0004.gotoAndStop("half")
The problem now instead of telling the MC to go to a labeled frame I just want to tell it to go to the nextFrame
I tried this;
_level0.holder.DI_0004.gotoAndStop.nextFrame()
and that didn't work. I must be missing one thing.
hoping someone can see the problem with my code.
Thanking you in advance.
