Compile As Flash 7 And Now Remoting Chokes - Help
I have a large project using flash remoting to .NET that has been working great compiled as Flash 6. If I try to compile as Flash 7 netservices locks the player into an endless loop and then times out as it tries to resolve its first remoting call for .NET.

I verfied I have the the Flash MX 2004 flash remoting components and the first update for ActionScript 1. I also have the latest flash remoting on the server.

Anyone run into this, where Flash 6 works but Flash 7 dies?

Flash 8 Chokes On XML From Excel 2003
Using Flash 8's XML object and trying to read in XML created in Excel 2003 I get error -6 back from the XML.status property which means "An XML element was malformed."

If I export the same data in Excel 2002 it loads corectly. Further investigation showed that Excel 2002 exports at the begining this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"

And Excel 2003 exports an extra line at the begining like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"

If I remove the 2nd line the file works! Any ideas why Flash chokes on this line?

This is an issue as I am building an application for a client who only has Excel 2003!

Thanks for any input on this.

Is It Not Possible To Assign Instance Names To Symbols Within Symbols In Flash CS3?
Detail question on nha khoa Adobe group

OK, so I have a player object. I created a symbol that is linked to the player. Inside the symbol I have 2 symbols. 1 is the sprite that displays the player, the other is a rectangle box that is used for collision detection.

I tried giving the collision box an instance name in the property editor so I could reference the collision box from code. The Player symbol is linked to a Player class I wrote earlier so it creates an instance of the Player class. The error I get is this:

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property myCollBox on Player.

myCollBox was the instance name I gave that collision box symbol. I thought maybe I had to make the collision box also linked to a class to be exported for action script, but that didn't seem to help.

XML Chokes
Anybody know how to place anchor tags in xml? I'm trying to put anchor tags in my xml, but it keeps choking when flash imports it and makes arrays. Here is what I have tried:
HTML Code:
<portfolio>
<sample id="masterpieceministries.org" proj="mm" pic="mm-1.jpg" totalpics="5" />
<sample id="inthebeginningbook.com" proj="itb" pic="itb-1.jpg" totalpics="3" />
<sample id="thisiswestchicago.org" proj="tiwc" pic="tiwc-1.jpg" totalpics="4" />
<sample id="little-little.com" proj="llc" pic="llc-1.jpg" totalpics="4" />
<sample id="yfinministries.com" proj="yfin" pic="yfin-1.jpg" totalpics="3" />
<sample id="East West Identity" proj="ew" pic="ew-1.jpg" totalpics="2" />
<sample id="RR Browne Identity" proj="rrb" pic="rrb-1.jpg" totalpics="4" />
<sample id="Freddie the Firefly Book" proj="freddie" pic="freddie-1.jpg" totalpics="7" />
<sample id="Huntin' The Truth Logo" proj="huntin" pic="huntin-1.jpg" totalpics="3" />
<sample id="Forever Family Identity" proj="ff" pic="ff-1.jpg" totalpics="1" />

</portfolio>
Both of those don't work, so they are commented out. Here is the actionscript:

Code:
var x:XML = new XML();
x.ignoreWhite = true;
x.load("portfolio.xml");
x.onLoad = function() {
samples = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for (i = 0; i < samples.length; i++) {
names.push(samples[i].attributes.id);
pics.push(samples[i].attributes.pic);
totals.push(samples[i].attributes.totalpics);
proj.push(samples[i].attributes.proj);
//trace(names);

Newbie: Key.isDown() Chokes With HTML?
Hi!
Just getting my feet wet in Action Scripting Flash 5 style, I made a simple script attached to a movie that jumps to a new frame of animation when you hit a the down key. Everything works fine when I play the published .swf with my standalone Flash player, but when I try to use my Flash plug-in for Internet Explorer (playing the published HTML page), the keys have no effect on the animation. I made sure that I have the most recent Flash plugin for IE. Am I being a butthead about something? Thanks!
Cheers,

Movie Chokes With Button Across Multiple Scenes
Hi, I'm making a banner for a website and decided to do each 'frame' in its own scene just as it kept things a bit tidier.

There needs to be a clickable area with this code throughout all the scenes...

Code:
on (release) {

if (_level10.linkTag.substr(0,5) == "http:")
getURL(_level10.linkTag,_level10.targetTag);
else
getURL("http://www.zebra-club.com","_blank");

}
It works fine when I have a button with this code on the first scene but as soon as I add it to any of the rest I can't even publish the .swf.

Any ideas?? I've attached the .fla with the issues, to see it working remove all the 'button' layers on the scenes.

Hope someone can help!

Many thanks

Flash Overlap With Z Index
Hey all,
I have a menu drop down issue that was looking to get some help with. I have a flash drop down menu that overlaps a separate flash piece in an HTML page. The example of what I am talking about can be found here: http://www.cspa.org/cleaning

When you hover over product types, you'll notice that the drop down falls under the 'water banner'. I have set the z-index of that specific banner to be lower than the flash header but it still did not work. When I change the 'water banner' to a static image instead of a flash file, the menu overlaps without a problem.

This is the style that I have applied to the navigation bar
#flash_piece {
z-index: 1;
position:relative;
top:0px;
}

I made another div for the banner and set the z-index to 0. Any help with this would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Flash Overlap Iframe
I have a header that contains a flash menu. I have it in a div so that when a button is rolled over there is a drop down menu that overlaps the iframe below it. When the iframe contains only HTML this works out perfect. However, if the iframe contains flash, the flash in the iframe is set on top of the drop down menu.

I was hoping someone has dealt with this before and has a solution. I'm thinking z-index, but i haven't gotten it to work so far.

Thanks for your help!

Flash Movie To Overlap Html...?
Hi

I am building an intro page on a website in flash. The menu appears on the left hand side. Some of the menu items have sub menus which need to fly out over the rest of the page.

This is not a problem on the intro page, because its in flash...but when linking to another page the sub menu items need to overlap html pages.

Is there a way to do this using transparencies or .... anything else other than reverting to java script....

I have a feeling the answer is no - but thought i'd ask anyway

How To Overlap Flash Movies Like On Homestarrunner.com?
Hello,

I think I finally figured out how they overlap the menu flash movies on homestarrunner.com, yet when you check the html coding for their pages it only refers to one flash movie in that place. Apparently, their base flash movie has actionscript at the beginning telling the external movie clips (the other flash menu movies) to load into a target movie clip on a higher level than the base movie. I'm trying to pull this off, but I need to know the coding to make this happen. Right now, I put in loadMovie("name of flash movie here", target_mc, (for the target movie clip, of course) method="GET);

At this point I'm getting an error message saying "method name must be GET or POST"

Anyone know what I do to correct this and am I on the right track here? I just need to know the full code needed to load the external movie SWF items to complete the main menu.

Thanks!

Overlapping Symbols Inside Symbols With An Alpha Tween
Hello,

In the attached example, Is it possible to prevent the purple overlap area from showing and just be red since red's on top? I have characters that use symbols for arms, legs, etc. and I want to fade them in and out sometimes. The problem is, the areas where the limbs overlap look weird so I have to resort to converting them to shapes on one keyframe. This seems limiting and annoying. I was wondering if there's a command, extension, or property to fix this. Thanks in advance.

It is as if symbol b stops its parent from being considered "rolled over"

Am I building these wrong? or mis-understanding something?

"while" Loop Chokes Movie
I'm attempting to create a simple fade from one movie object with a jpg in it to another. It works (although it loops indefinitely) when I call the fading up and down functions from a within a third, without a "while" loop. The fading methods ("increMethod" and "decreMethod") use onEnterFrame to change the alpha of the jpgs. But when I try to limit the fades to within 0 and 100 alpha values, the whole thing stops working. Does anyone have an idea of what's happening?

Here's the relevant code. Sorry about all the "trace"'s:

increment=10;

MapObject.prototype.decreMethod = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha -= increment;
trace (this + " alpha: "+ this._alpha);
updateAfterEvent();
} //end onEnterFrame function
}//end decreMethod()

MapObject.prototype.increMethod = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha += increment;
trace (this + " alpha: "+ this._alpha);
updateAfterEvent();
} //end onEnterFrame function
}//end increMethod()

MapObject.prototype.fadeMethod = function(mc) {
trace("increment equals "+ increment); //working
trace(this + "'s alpha is starting at: " + this._alpha);
trace(mc + "'s alpha is starting at: "+mc._alpha);
//the problem is here: *****************/
while (this._alpha < 100) {
this.increMethod(); //NOT BEING CALLED IN WHILE LOOP
}

while (mc._alpha > 0) {
mc.decreMethod(); //NOT BEING CALLED IN WHILE LOOP
}
//and this is not being called: ***************************/
mapUp=this;
trace ("new mapUp: "+ mapUp);
} // end fadeMethod function

Movieclip Overlap
need some help!

I have 8 buttons that I have programmed to show MovieClips when pressed. Problem is,if I click on Button 1, it displays MovieClip 1, which is what its suppose to do. But when I go to click on Button 2, the MovieClip 2 that is programmed to play when button 2 is clicked, overlaps the movieClip 1 that was activated with button 1.

How do I get the previous movieclip that is showing, to disappear when you click on another button to view its movieclip, there for not having any of the movieclips over lapping etc.

this is the actionscripting I'm using for button 1, although the rest of the buttons have the same scripting just different tellTarget info numbers. Info stands for MovieClip:

on (release) {
tellTarget ("/info1") {
play ();

any help would be great, Thanks!

I want to load a external swf into another swf. (loadmovie command i know). I got that part happening.

First question : How do i tell this window where on the screen to load? rathan then position x=0 y=0

Now whilst the window is loaded if you move the mouse around it and pass over the links from the main swf file you are able to click on them. I don't want to be able to click on them.

How can I prevent this??

files are attached. anyhelp would be great. Thanks in advanced

I have the movieclips dragging and stopping. Ideally they would move the movieclips next to each other as you do in dominoes. But i would like to make it so that when they touch each other then the can't move or overlap each other. Should i seach under collision or hit test?
I have attached the fla file - hopefully

Can't Overlap Buttons...what To Do?
I have created 5 buttons that point to an object. When each buttons rolls over the object animates with a background fading in.

However, when you roll off one button and onto another, it starts the animation over. How can I set it so that when you are over the image or any of the buttons, the animation starts and doesn't stip until you roll out of this entire area.

I trie dusing a big button over the area, but the overlapping buttons cause a problem. Only the button on top worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

My flash is too big to attached here, but I have posted the swf so you can see how this is working currently.

Stage Overlap
Hi. I'm not a complete newbie to flash- have made a few sites in it and learned some basic action script. I'm wondering if I'm missing something really simple which has changed in more recent versions of flash.

When I first published my movie (with scaling set to 100% x 100%) I got everything off stage also viewable in the browser. No problem, I simply erased excess graphics that overlapped the stage.

The problem reoccured when I wanted to load an external SWF. I made a movie exactly the same size for it to load into. (138h x 900w). The external swf was made in Swish Max with a stage of the aforementioned size, scrolling a long jpeg across the stage. Now when I publish the movie the external swf loads and plays correctly but the whole long jpeg is viewable overlapping the stage and crossing the width of the web browser!

Once again, I'm sure there must be an easy way to deal with this. As far as I know, only the stage is supposed to be viewable when published in a browser, right? Any help would be much appreciated.

Using HitTest For No-overlap
Hi All

I'm trying to use hitTest so that if any images overlap they will be replaced on the canvass.

ActionScript Code:
function imgSeed(){
for(i=0; i<5; i++){
   a += 1;
duplicateMovieClip(test_mc, ["newImg_mc"+a], this.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["newImg_mc"+a]._x = myRandom(50,450);
_root["newImg_mc"+a]._y = myRandom(50,450);
//below code is for checking no overlap of images. Its with this that I'm having problems
if(_root["newImg_mc"+a].hitTest(HIT ANY OTHER EXISTING IMG){
//new random placement      }
}
}

I'm stuck with the hitTest bit I want it to take the current mc and hitTest it for all the other existing mc's and if hitTest == true then I can re-run for a new placement.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

edit--

i've narrowed it down to a function

ActionScript Code:
function overLapCheck(){
for(k=0; k<5; k++){
if(_root["newImg_mc"+a].hitTest(_root["newImg_mc"+k])){
trace ("hit test == true: newImg_mc"+a+" hit newImg_mc"+k);
}
}
}
although this works, It checks against itself, so it always true at least once, how can I tell it not to check against itself?

Help With Overlap Test
Hi. I would like to know if this is possible or not and how it might be achieved. Once I draw shapes on the background, i have actionscript code to dynamically create about 1000 small squares on the background which are movie clips. I would like to test if the movie clips -squares are "inside"/overlapping/contained withing/... the drawn shape. So if I draw some circles/rectangles, I would know if the squares drawn by actionscript overlap or not. Is there any simple way to accomplish this test? I dont even know what keywords I would search for this either to find help.

Button Overlap Tip
Here's the situation:

I have an expandable banner, that when the mouse moves off of it should go back to it's original size. The way I would normally do this would be to add a big button over the expanded banners full size and put a onRollOut action to it.

Trouble is, this specific banner has three other small buttons in it. So what happens is, when I move over one of the three small buttons the onRollOut action is called since these small buttons are in the way.

What would you guys suggest in this case? I tried calling faking the onRollOut by just getting the mouses coordinates onEnterFrame, but that is kinda buggy since if you move the mouse out of the banner too fast it doesn't detect the roll out.

Button Overlap?
I am working on a map of the usa that as you roll over each state the name of the state appears and the state is highlighted. I had no problems until I was done and tested it. Some of the roll over parts of the button (the text of the state names) fall underneath of the button (state) right next to it. Why would the rolled over button be affected by the untouched button to it's sides?

I do have all of these buttons on the same level and they are close/touching each other. How do I make it so that the button that is rolled over and it's text are in the forefront and exposed?

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Overlap Function Help
Hi, wonder if anyone could help me with this problem.

Basically the following code is creating concentric circles.

I've got a collision detection and overlap function script at the end which is telling me if two or more circles have interacted with another.

What i'm basically after is for flash to give me a string of numbers to tell me how much of an overlap is occuring.

I know the end of this script is wrong - I'm getting a boolean outcome instead of a number, I think "return true;" needs to be "return dist;" and "return false;" should be "return 0;" but if I try and change that then I get:

"The Expression returned must match the function's return type"

and if I try and change :boolean to :number in that function then I get:

"Type mismatch in assignment statement: Number where Boolean is required"

Any ideas?

Heres my script:

circles = new Array();

circle._visible = false;

var drawCFlag:Boolean = true;

listener = new Object();
listener.onMouseDown = function(){
_root._quality = "MEDIUM";
instructions._visible = false;
msDown = true;
}
listener.onMouseUp = function(){
msDown = false;
drawCFlag = true;
}
Mouse.addListener(listener);

var circleCount = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function(){ // updates every frame
if (msDown==true && drawCFlag == true){
circleCount++;
var newCircle:MovieClip = _root.circle.duplicateMovieClip("circle"+circleCou nt, circleCount);
circles.push(newCircle);
_root["circle"+circleCount]._x = _root._xmouse;
_root["circle"+circleCount]._y = _root._ymouse;
trace ("[x value= " + _root._xmouse + "]")
trace ("[y value= " + _root._ymouse + "]")
trace ("[circleCount= " + circleCount + "]")
trace ("[circles size = " + circles.length + "]")
_root.max.send("; x_value " + _root._xmouse + ";"); //send info to max/msp
_root.max.send("; y_value " + _root._ymouse + ";"); //send info to max/msp
drawCFlag = false;
}
andgo();

Image Overlap Each Other
Why Does my photo's dont make a space between them .. but overlap each other

ActionScript Code:
var i = -1;
function loadContent(aImage:Array) {
var nxFrame:Number = 3;
var nyFrame:Number = 3;
//var i = 0;
//for (var i = 0; i<aImage.length; i++) {
i++;
if (i<aImage.length) {
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var myListener:Object = new Object();
var nxBlok:Number = 0;
myListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
target_mc._y = nyFrame;
target_mc._x += nxFrame;
nxFrame += 50;
};
myListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
// you can now do any setup required, for example:
target_mc._width = 40;
target_mc._height = 40;
showImage(target_mc, aImage);
};
myListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String) {
trace("*********First my_mcl instance*********");
trace("ERROR CODE = "+errorCode);
trace("Your load failed on movie clip = "+target_mc+"
");
};
trace("BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA");
my_mcl.addListener(myListener);
this.createEmptyMovieClip("clip_mc"+i, this.getNextHighestDepth());
my_mcl.loadClip(aImage[i], "clip_mc"+i);
}
}
function showImage(target_mc, aImage) {
target_mc._alpha = 0;
var nAlpha = 5;
target_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
nAlpha += 3;
if (target_mc._alpha<95) {
trace("alpha"+target_mc._alpha);
target_mc._alpha += nAlpha;
} else {
loadContent(aImage);
target_mc._alpha = 100;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
}

Overlap Sounds
At the moment I have a flash menu, and each button has an over state keyframe, and for the over state keyframe I have set a sound to play ('event' in the drop down box), but the problem is, when the user moves the cursor quickly across the buttons, they play consecutively, therefore delaying the sounds.

I want each sound to overlap the other so that the sound plays at exactly the same time as the cursor is over the button, but I don't know any methods of doing this. If you know how, please tell me!!!

Thanks alot!
Mike
