LoadVariables Qustion
Hi all.
My problem is this one.
I have a .txt document that set these values.
&Maxserie1_1=Bilder/3dsmax/BallLek/Mini/BallLek1.jpg&
&Maxserie1_2=Bilder/3dsmax/Racers/Mini/Racers1.jpg&
&Maxserie1_3=Bilder/3dsmax/Hayabusa/Mini/Busa1.jpg&
&Maxserie1_4=Bilder/3dsmax/Mack/Mini/Mack1.jpg&
Is there an easier method than the following:
imagearray[1]=Maxserie1_1;
imagearray[2]=Maxserie1_2;
imagearray[3]=Maxserie1_3;
imagearray[4]=Maxserie1_4;
..
imagearray[100]=Maxserie1_100;
With lot's of images this could become a problem.
I was thinking about a for loop
for(var i=1; i>100; i++) { //an ordinary for loop
imagearray[i]= ?? ;//what I'm I suppose to write instead of the 2 questionsmarks
trace (imagearray[i]);//should write Bilder/3dsmax/BallLek/Mini/BallLek1.jpg
Not 1 or Maxserie1_1.
}
The ["Maxserie1_"+i] don't work here!

Qustion About XML And Actionscript
I try to open a UML in flash using actionscript
There is my code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Request.xml");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function loadComplete(event:Event):String {
this.loader = loader;
return loader.data;
}
//output undefined
trace(loader.data);
The problem is my other function can not use loader.data.
And I can not return it as a string
Is there a way to use load.data in other place?

ButtonMC Qustion For Da Scripterz
Ok, I know I posted something like this the other day, but I figured out the solution. Now I have a question that experienced scripters might be able to answer for me.
When the mouse rolls onto the clip, the animation plays. When it rolls off, it plays. However, if the user moves off before either animation is finished, the results are less than desireable. I'm thinking I need some sort of test or anything like that. I've thrown up the .fla and if anyone can help me out, many thanks to you

Stupid Question Coming From Stupid Newb...

How do you increase or decrease the thickness of lines in Flash MX?
Stupid Workspace Changing After I Save It (Or Stupid Me)
I have a dual-monitor setup and I have my timeline, stage, and properties panel on one monitor. That's all fine.
On the other monitor, I have the actions panel in one group and about 3 panels grouped into another group. The actions panel takes up the left 2/3 of the screen and the other panels take up the right 1/3 of the screen. That works fine.
I want to switch the actions panel with the other group of panels, so that the actions is on the right 2/3 of the screen and the other group of panels are on the left 1/3 of the screen. Problem is when I save my workspace layout, it somehow defaults the actions to the left side of teh screen and the other panels to the right side of the screen! It's driving me crazy. Anyone have any tips? Run into similar problems?

Stupid Employer, Stupid Question
hey there. my current employer currently has a header on an html page with a banner inside it. it looks like crap but his "web guys" have told him that the banner must stay in the exact place that it is otherwise it will destroy his flux capacitor or something along those lines. so im stuck trying to design a flash header for this guy with an animated gif banner inside of it. kinda like the gif banner is the hole in the donut. i guess my question is how do i leave the hole in the donut blank for the gif to be tossed into it without having to make 8 "sliced" flash movies that work together? sorry and i know theres an easy way to do this, i just havent touched flash in a few months and im rusty as all tarnation. thanks in advance
Stupid Question Hopefully Not Stupid Answers

Set Variable Stupid.user="stupid Question";
right... i got a bit of help with this yesterday but i need some more now....
lets say i have 1 button with 10 instances of it in a movie.
when you point to each instance, i want different text to hover over it.
with help from someon on here yesterday, i have now set up a dynamic text field on the 'over' frame of the button, and i have done the set variable lines saying:
button1.text = 1 banana
button2.text = 2 bananas
button3.text = 3 bananas
and so on, but i don't know how to tell each instance of the button what button it is.... so in other words, how do i tell button 1 that it is button 1 and button 2 that it is button2, etc?
Stupid Says As Stupid Does (variables)

(obviously the username is equal to 'ted')
How do I do this????
please respond w/ a solid answer - 'cause boy it looks easy , but man am I stumped!!
Thanx
Stupid Stupid Preloader
I have a simple preloader animation that is suppossed to loop as my main page loads (take note, this IS NOT a progress bar!!).
As the animation is looping, the percentage of the movie loading is suppossed to be displayed. However the preloader never advances past the first frame in the preload scene (I'm keeping the preloader in its own scene to keep from adding keyframes to every layer in the main scene).
Here is the scripting I'm currently using:
Preload scene>>
frame 01:
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
myOutput.text = percent + "% is loaded";
frame 02:
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndStop(3);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
frame 03:
gotoAndPlay ("xscene:, 1)
Is there something missing? Something I did wrong? Help!!
Stupid, Stupid Masking.
Im kinda at a loss, and am thinking my problem lies somewhere in the software.
Im trying to animate a mask over a button. The mask works but the button is having issues. Whenever the animated mask hits one of its keyframes, the button stops working for (1) frame; ie, the up state becomes visible for (1) frame. Kinda sucks if you happen to be pressing or rolling over the button at the time.
The mask isnt a gradient or a symbol, just a crappy shape that moves.
Anyhow, when I publish the movie in Flash6 it works just fine but anything less and I get the glitches. Is there a workaround or something?
Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Arg
Well, I obviously suck.
In the tutorial for making a scrolling text box in Flash 5, I'm not understanding something. The following code.
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if( scrolling == "up"){
daTextBox.scroll--;
}
if( scrolling == "down"){
daTextBox.scroll++;
}
}
How on earth do you get the "daTextBox.scroll--;" line? Do I use the Operator "--"? or do i use the Function "scoll"? or something totally different?
My efforts end up looking like this....
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
daTextBox.scroll--"
if(scrolling == "up" scrolling == "down" daTextBox.scroll++{
This no work :-P
Basicly... wht do I use to the get the
daTextBox.scroll--;
and
daTextBox.scroll++;
to appear as it said it should in the tutorial....or does it matter?
Thanks for your help...

if(/:eof=1) {
play();
} //frame2
else {
gotoAndPLay (1);
}
First = _root.test;
Second = "Check3"; //frame3

Got To Be Something Stupid
I've got a .swf with a preloader on it that is giving me problems. The .swf is composed of 2 scenes. scene 1 = preload and scene 2 = (lol well)scene 2. Here is the code for the preloader. It's a real simple one. Just has the word loading with 5 periods apearing then disapearing.
if (this.getBytesLoaded() != this.getBytesTotal()) {
nextScene ();
}
I also tried putting Scene 2 (1) in the code for the target. But when I test the .swf the preloader well just keeps going and going and going. It's like its not recognizing the target.
By the way i have to keep the movie set up this way, with two scenes i mean.
Any ideas what the problem could be? HELP please.

I'm New And Stupid
OK. Hi everyone! I'm baby-stepping my way through Flash5 and have run into something that I can't figure out. I'm working on a project in which if you drag and drop something into a specific place, the movie continues. I have the drag and drop button all done, but I have absolutely no idea how to set up the rest. How can I get the movie to recognize when the object is in the right place, and then continue playing the movie?
Hopefully that makes sense as I described it.
Thanks in advance for anyhelp on this matter that I get.
-Sandy
PS - I know absolutely nothing about action scripting yet, but am learning. So if you have an answer, it would be a big help if it can be explained as simply as possible.

Is This A Bug Or Am I Stupid ?
I have to create some textfields with as, using the command:
_root.createTextField (newname,t,110,150+(t*20),180,128);
only instead of "_root" I want to use "this" or whatever the name of my movie clip is.
But this does not work...
it only accepts "_root"
what's the deal ?
Am I This STUPID?
Hi.. had flashMX for a while now, but im just starting to use it.. Im soo comfortable with Flash 5's layout..
anyways, i have this stupid problem..
you know when you extend the frames? I tried to select the excess and delete it.. but it doesnt just delete what i have selected.. also the KEYFRAME itself! SO ANNOYING!!!
if you dont get it, lemme explain..
say I have this cute ball starting at frame 1 - 30
now, I decided to just have the from Frame 1 - 15..
so i select Frame 16 - 30, then press 'delete'.. in flash 5 this works, but in MX, it not only deletes the selected fram, but includes the whole darn unselected frames (1-15)
so, What I did was hit F7 (blank KF) on the 16th. now, I like to get organized, so I usually delete blank keyframes.. so i selected the blank key frame and press 'delete'.. now the Darn thing wont get deleted!!!!! and I cant seem to find a way to get rid of the blank key Frames!!!!
This is freaking annoying me!!!!!!

I Must Be Stupid
okay, i don't know what i'm doing wrong. i've been working with AS for a little while, but apparently i have not had to approach this problem yet, and it's driving me crazy, because it should be so simple! i'm trying to call a function that is defined inside a movie clip on the main timeline. i know that you can do this, i've seen examples from people on this site discussing calling functions and how to reference them, but i just can't make it work in my movie. but i won't even discuss what i have in my movie that might be acting strangely - i'll just discuss this test file i made to prove to myself that it works (but that sadly failed).
1 frame, 1 layer. in the frame, the function testFunction(); is called. in this frame, there is also a movie clip with the instance name functiontest_mc. in functiontest_mc there is 1 frame, 1 layer and the function is defined in the frame as:
function testNewFunction(){
trace("pleeeease load the function!");
}
i have tried to call the function from frame 1 of the main timeline multiple ways. i tried:
_root.functiontest_mc.testNewFunction();
functiontest_mc.testNewFunction();
i also tried to trace both of these, but they're always undefined. HOWEVER, if i try to trace functiontest_mc._x with or without the _root, i get a value. so it can see the MC, but it can't see the function. can anyone tell me why??? this is driving me nuts! in my other file, i thought maybe it was an issue with frames, but that obviously isn't the case here. is there an issue with how i'm defining, or where i'm placing the function? thanks in advance for ANY help anyone can throw my way!!

I Must Have Done Something Stupid :(
Well at least that's what I think. I was trying to see the attachment about the Stickman moving (posted in the Newbie forum). Downloaded it but when I double-click on the file, nothing happens. The icon has the blue "E" Internet Explorer symbol on it, if that is of any use.
I might have accidentally asked the computer to "open every file with that extension with IE". If that's what I did, how do I undo that?
Thanks!

Stupid Stupid Stupid
I dont know why i am having grief with this but I am..
validate an empty input field...
this is the current code
on (release, keyPress "<Right>") {
if (personal.first_name ==""){
_root.validate.play();
}else{
nextFrame();
}
}
The Input text field for first_name(variable name is first_name)is in a movie clip called personal which is contained in ratings.
I have tried
first_name =="", ratings.personal.first_name=="", _root...
In a nutshell all i want it to do is check to see if the field doesn't have/contain blank data if it does then play the fricking error message (movie clip) if not then move onto the next fram...

Stupid...
pretty simple question, no idea while it is not working. i have a button using the code...
on (rollOver) { stanthonys-motion.gotoandplay(2); }
there is another movie clip on a different layer (same scene though) with the instance name "stanthonys-motion"
inside that movie clip are stop actions on frame one and frame 4. The point is that when you mouseover the button, this should change to the 2nd frame and play until it hits that stop frame at 4.
it wont work at all though. any ideas?
