Flash :: Unable To Save FLA - Help Desperately Needed

Help Desperately Needed
So, i've got a character that moves around the screen, and i'd like it to shoot a bullet (a simple circle or square) in the direction that it's facing. Below is the code attatched to the character movie, any suggestions on what to do?

onClipEvent(enterFrame){

// VARIABLES
this.xspeed = 0;
this.yspeed = 0;

// LEFT
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._rotation += -15;
}

// RIGHT
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._rotation += 15;
}

// UP
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this.yspeed += Math.cos(this._rotation*Math.PI/180)*-5;
this.xspeed += Math.sin(this._rotation*Math.PI/180)*5;
}

// DOWN
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this.yspeed += Math.cos(this._rotation*Math.PI/180)*3;
this.xspeed += Math.sin(this._rotation*Math.PI/180)*-3;
}

// UPDATE MOVEMENT/DIRECTION DATA
this._x += this.xspeed;
this._y += this.yspeed;
}

The bullet will be shot when the player presses space. I'm desperate for help, so any would be greatly appreciated.

Preloader Help Desperately Needed
well, i have never used actionscript in my entire life untill now....i am working on a preloader and learning from the tutorials section in fk. in the tutorial, some codes were given like "loadpercent" and i tried to insert that code in the scene put i could not find any place where loadpercent was there.

this are the codes i need to use:

Code:
loadpercent = "0%";
loadBytes = "0 of " + Math.round((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000
+ " Kb";

and:

loadPercent = (Math.floor (_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal() *
100) + "%");
loadBytes = (Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb
of " + Math.round((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024) * 1000) / 1000 + " Kb total Loaded.");

and also:

this._xscale = ((_root.getBytesLoaded() / _root.getBytesTotal()) * 100);
there are other codes like gotoandplay and i was able to find that under basic actions but actions such as loadpercent and all, that i was not able to locate from the actions menu. what do i do?
for more information go to this link:
Creating an Advanced Preloader in Flash
i understand everything else put i dont know how to insert the actionscript if it aint in the actionscript menu. help please!

Help Desperately Needed With Arrays
I have created an array like this:

myArray[0] = "January"
myArray[1] = "February"
myArray[2] = "March"
myArray[3] = "April"

Now I would like to know the array position where, say, "March" resides. I can see with my very own eyes that it is [2], but how do I tell Flash (mx) to find this position easily ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Mouseover Help Needed Desperately
I am new here and glad there is no such thing as a dumb question!

I have a gallery I am working on for a friend and I am new to Flash. I am really stuck. He is pretty set on having the gallery do a mouseover to open the pics and not a click action.
Tried quite a few things and cannot get it to work.
Also tried writing to the person who created the gallery and he said no it isn't possible because it woudn't be easy.

I feel like thyat was a bogus answer but I am not knowledgable enough at Flash to make it work. Here I have added the code and also a link to what this all does.

Would sure appreciate any and ALL help!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Asfunction Or A Href Help Needed Desperately
Is there a limit on the length of strings you can pass back and forth as an argument using asfunction: in actionscript?

For example:

Code:
message += '<a href="asfunction:setepDetails,' + passvar + '">';

If the data help in the variable above named "passvar" is too long, it would cut it short, is there a limit on how long "passva"r can be?

I am trying to use it at the moment, and it appears to be cutting the string variable I am using as an arguemnt short, making my script fail.

I have tested the variable before it is passed over and it is complete, but comes out at about 90 characters on the other side (too short).

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Help Desperately Needed On Show Tutorial
So I'm following this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/photogallery.htm

I've run into a number of problems and eventually gotten around them, but this time I'm at the end of my rope. My presentation is a slideshow format, one on of my embedded slides I'd like to put the slideshow mentioned in this tutorial. I have the photos, and a few times I've made the slideshow work on a practice fla document. But when I try to integrate it into the actual project I keep having problems. I'm using the same code, same pictures, saving it in the same spot, and yet when I test the movie I get a "NaN" error message on my output screen.

Now the text itself is contextually sound according to the checker, and although I feel this is probably easily fixed, I've done this probably 20 time and I can't figure out what the difference is between the shows that work and the shows that don't. Could it have something to do with trying to display this show on an embedded slide? Evidently "NaN" means not a number, but I can't figure out what that would refer to, not the code because it doesn't show up on the working presentations.

I've got a huge deadline coming up and I'm desperate. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or need any more information, I'll gladly provide it.
Thank you so much, you really will be saving my life.

Rotating Image Help Desperately Needed
Hi People ~

This is my 1st Post in this Forum. I've been a Member of other Flash Forums and I'm getting tired of Posting and getting absolutely no help or even acknowledgment but yet my Post have multiple Views.

With the problem I have now, there are actually 31 Views and yet not one of them have given me even a blip of what I can do to solve this or where I can read about it ...

I am trying to Rotate an Image by either a Slider or Mouse Drag.
The link below is an example of what I'm referring to.

This Forum is not allowing me to post the Link so you can see what I'm referring to at > rotatephoto.com/examples/index.htm

I am using Flash 8 Professional. I have a slightly more than Novice understanding of Flash. Really doesn't matter how long I've been using Flash, what I do know is, when I read something I feel I can help out with, I'm more than happy to offer my assistance. I even go as far as searching the Web to find info for someone if they find themselves in need.

Sorry if I sound bitter but really I'm not. I'm just in need of help and I'm prepared to continue joining one Forum after another until I find one where the Members are there for you .. that's the one where I will call home and I promise to give as much as I receive .,,, no doubt

Thanks All

Help Needed Desperately - Highlighting Areas Of An Image
I am new to Flash and I am having a horrible time with Flash MX (things seemed to be easier in Flash 5). Anyway, I will try to explain this the best way I can. I have an image that I want the user to be able to mouse click on certain areas and those certain areas to become highlighted. The best scenario is to be able to make these areas toggle switches. Click on it, it's highlighted. Click again, it's no longer highlighted. I have tried making it a button and having it move to another frame to show it highlighted but then it never makes it to that frame (with the on release, go to next command).

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!!!

[AS2.0] Full-Screen Scripting Help Needed (desperately)
We've designed a flash website with large dimensions, 1440x900.

The idea is that the website browser frame is launched once the user click on the 'enter' button of the index.html page. Here we were going to use javascript to launch the browser frame minus the address panel etc..

The PROBLEM IS: using the javascript means i have to specify the dimensions of the pop-up page, and ideally i want to make it full-screen. Obviously quite a few screens are going to struggle with 1440x900, so i wanted the movie to scale according to the size of the (full) screen.

Also, I have a 30" monitor, which means that the site looks quite bad when it's scaled at the full screen size (2560 x 1600). So in an idea world the script would know figure out the screen resolution available and would not scale up the site beyond it's 100% size (i.e. 1440x900), but obviously if the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 it wold scale the site down to 80 or 85% to fit the screen.

I found a site which does almost exactly what we need: http://www.tronicstudio.com/
I looked at the source code of the html and tried to copy parts of it, but i still can't get it right - feel like the flash file also has some code in in to make it all work.

After a week of trying to resolve this, my brain is fried, any help would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks
A

loadLesson();
} else {
saveLesson();
}

Why is this not working? It seems to work one minute then not the next.

Any Help would be great. Thanks.

SAVE To TEXT Via PERL/CGI -Sample Script NEEDED BADLY
Hello, PLEASE HELP!

I know that I cannot save to a .txt file directly from Flash (those bastards) and I am standing clear of the FSCommand method (Linux Server)... THUS I need to use a CGI/Perl script to parse the inputted variables and save to an existing .txt file. (and can't forget those "&"'s!!!!
This is what I am trying to do:

I have a "top10.txt" and a "events.txt" file that is read by one movie fine.

I have a "maintenance" movie that needs to update the values in both of those files.

"top10.txt" has these values:
artist_01 (thru artist_10) and song_01 (thru song_10)
Example:
artist_01=Brittany Spears
&song_01=blahblahblah one more time! (bad example I know)

"events.txt" has these values:
date_01 , time_01 , and desc_01 (thru 15)
Example:
eventdate_01=06/21/01
&eventtime_01=04:41pm
&eventdesc_01=Damn I cannot save to a txt file!

Can somebody PLEASE help me out with a CGI/Perl script that will parse this text, and help me to implement it in my "maintenance" movie? an Example would be fine also.. I really need to get this done, and am seriously pressed for time!

Please email me at incendius@hotmail.com if that's more convenient!

THANKS a TON! (and sorry for sounding like a whiner, just stressed to the %&*$ing MAX!)

Desperately In Need Of Help
I have some actionscript to find a number...
I want to compare this number (represented as date1) to a bunch of other numbers that are in the movie... Each number will be in the same place, and is not going to change.

How could i accomplish this? Do I use labels, amd make each number in the movie its own layer???
Or some other mystical command I have yet to find?

then, how would i then use the results from that to make it so that an "X" would appear right ontop of that number. [the number on the movie]

Newbie Desperately Needs Help
Ok, here is what I am wanting to do:

I want to create a html editor in Flash that can open, edit, save, and upload html pages, images, etc to their server. I want the user to be able to switch between views (i.e. between viewing the html code, and viewing what the page actually looks like).

I would like it to have all of the normal functions of an html editor like adding images, setting page properties (bg color, text color, basic page properties), adding links, adding tables, etc, etc.

I would like it to be saved as a projector file afterwards to that they can run it easily. (I know how to do that part-LOL!)

CAN THIS BE DONE????? The reason I am wanting to develop something like this is for my design clients who wish to make changes to their sites themselves after having their site initially constructed by me. I am not planning on charging them for this extra little program. I would just like to offer it to them as a free service.

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON WHERE I SHOULD START??? I haven't really used Flash much, I usually use Swish, but I know that Swish won't be able to do all of the things I need it to.

If anyone would be willing to work with me one on one to develop this, I would be happy to include their logo etc as a credit in the final program.

Thanks so much for reading my post! Have a great weekend!

Desperately Confused...
I have a movie with 7 scenes, in each scene there is a drop down menu inside a movie clip, each button in the menu is assigned a script to be sent to a scene ie.
button titled-"profile button" is sent to the scene titled-"profile", but...
here's my problem, after the button is clicked, I need the movie to play on the timeline a certain amount of frames. Each button in the menu movie clip has to play the same frames before departing to different scenes.

In this example I want the button "profile button" when clicked to play the timeline untill it reaches the frame labeled "contact exit", then go to and play scene titled "Profile" on frame labeled "profilestart"

*script atatched to "profile button" (which is in a movie clip):

on(release){
_level0.section="profilestart";
tellTarget("_level0") {
gotoAndPlay("Contact, "Contact exit");
}
}

*scene: "Contact"
*frame label: "contact exit"
*script atatched to that frame:

gotoAndPlay(section);

This works if I play 1 scene only, when I play the whole movie it skips parts and gets confussed.
I have tried changing the level numbers, but I'm stumped.

I hope someone can make sense of this.
Please Help

Desperately Seeking Help On ...
Hi all,

Problem 1) I cant figure out WHY I cannot launch my own exporting swf file from my fla. I am using MX exporting my movie with flash 6 option and I have flash 6 installed. I sent it to other people, they have the same problem playing it. It keeps saying "failed to open document" when I try to "double click" on file name. It's OK if I "right click" and choose "OPen with". What the heck am i doing wrong?

Problem2) I try to open a full size window for another swf clip (from the main swf via a button) using:
On Release {
getURL("javascript:void(window.open('volley-0304.swf','volley','fullsize=yes'));");
}
It opens the first window (not full size) with content but it also tries to open more windows (not full size) and give me lots of clicking noises and hang the computer? Did I correctly code this?

Thanks

Desperately Seeking Help...
Hi...
I'm trying to set up a portfolio site and I've tried two methods for dynamically charge my pics in a MC, one with an array, the other with loadMovieNum.
However, there seems to be some problems I can't find...
Maybe some of you guys could take a look at my files. You'll have to play around with it a little with some pics of yours to test arrays and images to be loaded but I don't think I'm that far... the other thing I'd like to be check are the section buttons (illustration, sketchbook, and so on...). I'd like'em to stay lighted when pressed and back to normal when another button is pressed (and lighted).
Thanx you guys... i really need that help.

Desperately Need Some Help With A MP3 Problem
Ok, here's the deal. I have this video player, and I have an swf that I'm loading it, and an mp3 that I'm also loading at the same time. Then when the user hits play, they both start. This works fine.

My problem is the fast forward and rewind buttons. The way I have them setup for the swf is that there is an onEnterFrame handler that checks to see if the ff button is pressed. If it's pressed, the onEnterFrame function adds two to the swf's currentFrame property. It works great, but how do I fast forward the sound as well? I could calculate the milliseconds that the sound needs to start at by basing it off of the frame rate (36 fps) and the current frame. The problem is that the start function of the sound object only takes seconds.

Any thoughts on this?

I Desperately Need To Solve This Problem :(
Salutations!

What are the major reasons why:

1) a getURL command to fetch a php document results in an alert box saying the file does not exist or is not accessible (when it is)

and

2) a loadMovie command to a swf results in a blank page?

Please respond!!

Thanks!

Desperately Seeking...hitTest
Okay, I'm pretty horrible at doing Flash. I'm taking a class in it and I have this homework assignment that involves using the hitTest function. Now, I've used this one before with no problem. However, as soon as we get to a group assignment and someone else's grade is depending on me...I can't do anything. So I'm really really hoping someone will know what to do.

Here's the deal--
I'm making this Harry Potter quidditch game (don't laugh, it's a group-decided theme! ;D), and I want to cut to a different frame and/or scene when Harry (the cursor) collides with the snitch. I've only seen hitTests where something additional shows up on the screen. For instance, I could make Harry say "Ouch!" if he got hit with something no problem. But I can't make an entirely new screen. Apparently

if (this.hitTest(_root.thing)) {
gotoAndStop ("Scene 2");
}

Doesn't work. I've tried everything... Please help. =/

Thanks,
Ali

Desperately Need Assistance With Instances
i have created a flash file to show information about credit cards. there are three main types on the first screen. if you click on the middle one you are shown 2 new cards on a second screen. you can view information about each card by clicking on it.

everything seems to work until you open a card on the second screen , close it, return to the first screen by hitting [Back], then return to the second screen, open the same card and trying to close it, but it won't close

i have found that new instances are being created with '..instance#' names. the [X] used to close the card info window is supposed to send each clip back to the first frame and stop, but i think its not pointing to the correct instance

will someone please take a look and give me your thoughts. i am about to go over my deadline and need help desperately

thanks

Desperately Need Remoting Assistance
We are trying to write a Flash application that accesses a Coldfusion component which queries an SQL Server database and returns the results to the Flash app. I know this canâ€™t be as difficult as it seems to be. All of the solutions that I find on the web have to do with PHP and MySQL. Can anyone help us? Please donâ€™t assume that we are gurus if you respond. I realize that it is highly unlikely that you will given our present cluelessness, but one never knows. In other words, please keep it as simple as you can.

We are programming in Flash 9.0 (ActionScript 3.0) under CS3. We are running Coldfusion 6.1.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

Gary

Desperately In Need To Optimize A Cycle
I am making a Connect Four game with some variations, using MiniMax for the Computer Algorithm, the thing is, the cycle that creates the decision tree is way too slow, cant really calculate much.

Here is the code I am talking about:

Code:
function construirArbolJugadas(nodo:TreeNode, prof:int){
constructAttemptTree()
{
for(var i:int=0;i<13;i++)
for(var j:int=0;j<9;j++)
{
var currentAttempt:Attempt = new Attempt(0,i,j);

if( Maps.isValid(currentAttempt)==false )
{continue;}

var destinationAttempt:Attempt = Maps.getDestination(currentAttempt);

if(prof%2==1)
{Maps.blueMap.set(dJ.X,dJ.Y,true);}
else if(prof%2==0)
{Maps.redMap.set(dJ.X,dJ.Y,true);}

currentAttempt.val = Maps.getScore();

var attemptNode:TreeNode= new TreeNode(currentAttempt,node);

if( !(currentAttempt.val==1000||currentAttempt.val==-1000||depth==maxDepth) )
{constructAttemptTree(attemptNode,depth+1);}

if(depth%2==1)
{Maps.blueMap.set(dJ.X,dJ.Y,false);}
else if(depth%2==0)
{Maps.redMap.set(dJ.X,dJ.Y,false);}
}
}
}
I am using Polygonal´s AS3 data structures.

Attempt is an object that stores an integer X and Y to point at a gridsquare.

If you see something obvious that makes the recursive call so slow I would really appreciate the mention.

Thank you in advance!

Desperately Lossed My Scope, Please Help.
I just don't get it. I have downloaded every sample fla file and every tutorial on the web that I can find to create the simplest elastic menu and yet I can't get it to work.

I have a horizontal menubar with a centerpiece navigational symbol. The centerpiece is a moviescript with a button in it as are each of the menu items.

the basic idea:----------------------------------------------------------------
PASSIVE STATE: the only part of the menu visible is the navbutton.
EVENT: MouseOver - causes the menu to become active (see below)

ACTIVATING STATE: this is the time when it is animating into active state (see below) *** this is where I am lost.

basically, of the six menu options, the two closest to the navbutton bounce up from below the stage (the navbutton resides near the bottom of the stage). Then the next two bounce up and then the last two until they are all lined up close to the bottom of the stage.

ACTIVE STATE: all menu items are present and act like a regular menu.

EVENT: MouseOut - causes a timer to start
EVENT: Timer >3 seconds reverse the ACTIVATING STATE

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

I started by creating a movieClip with the navButton using the attachMovie function to attach each of the arrayed menu items. I used the initObj property of the attachMovie function to initialize all of the menu options and was able to get them to appear nicely in their inverted parabolic state like I suppose they should be to start (when hidden).

I have created events using hitTests, button actions, etc. etc. and yet I cannot get the individual menu items to rebound up when I roll over the NavButton or when I click it, threaten it, scream at it, cry to it, beg it... etc. I feel like a complete imbecile that I can't make this work. PLEASE HELP.

Desperately Seeking Help, Condition Not Met, Plzzzz Help
I seriously need help on this guys.

I have a skill entry question and checking to see if the answered question was 17 or not, by the user, is not working.

Plus after clicking on submit, where would I put a GotoAndPlay frame 45?

My code:

on (release) {

if (age eq "") { info = "Please enter your Age"; }
else if (age <= 8) { info = "You are not applicable"; }
else if (age <= 13) { info = "Parental consent form"; }
else if (fname eq "") { info = "Please add your first name"; }
else if (lname eq "") { info = "Please add your last name"; }
else if (Address eq "") { info = "Please enter your adrress"; }
else if (city eq "") { info = "Please enter your City"; }
else if (acode eq "") { info = "Please enter your area code"; }
else if (prnumber eq "") { info = "Please enter your phone number"; }
else if (ponumber eq "") { info = "Please complete your phone number"; }
else if (zip eq "") { info = "Please enter your Zip or Postal Code"; }
else if (answer eq "") { info = "Please enter your skill testing question"; }
else if (answer != "17") { info = "wrong answer, please try again"; }

stateprov = state_cb.getValue();
if (stateprov == "Choose a State/Province") {
info = "Please enter your State/Province";
}
country = country_cb.getValue();
if (country == "Choose a Country") {
info = "Please enter your country";

}

n="1";
if (n==1) {
if (n==1) {
state = state_cb.getValue();

url_string = "?fname=" add fname add "&lname=" add lname add "&age=" add age add "&address=" add address add "&city=" add city add "&acode=" add acode add "&prnumber=" add prnumber add "&ponumber=" add ponumber add "&state=" add state;
u_length = length(url_string);
num = "1";
url_full = "";
while (Number(num)<=Number(u_length)) {
if (Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 32) {
url_full = url_full add "+";
} else if (Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 7 or Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 10 or Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 11 or Number(ord(substring(url_string, num, 1))) == 13) {
url_full = url_full add "%0D%0A";
} else {
url_full = url_full add substring ( url_string, num, 1 );

}
num = Number(num)+1;
}
loadVariablesNum("postdata.php" add url_full, 0);

}
}
ok1 = "0";
ok2 = "0";
ok3 = "0";
ok4 = "0";

}

Ok, so for some reason, this: else if (answer != "17") { info = "wrong answer, please try again"; }
Never ever gets processed, anyone know why?
The user should be able to continue if he doesn't answer 17 in the skill entry question.

If anyone has any ideas, I would really apreciate any help given or offered.

Thanks
MK

[CS3|AS2]Desperately Trying To Embed Fonts Into My ComboBox
Hi.

After adding a new font to the library, exporting it for ActionScript, and assigning it to a combo box thisly:

PHP Code:

myComboInstance.setStyle("fontFamily", "FFF Dreamer");

- I tried the following methods to embed it, which haven’t worked:

PHP Code:

myComboInstance.setStyle("embedFonts", "true");          //-no worky

_global.styles.ComboBox.setStyle("embedFonts","true");   //-no worky

this.myComboInstance.embedFonts=true;                      //-no worky

The only thing that I’ve managed so far is embedding the selected item font, but NOT the drop-down list font by doing the following:

PHP Code:

stateCombo.textField.setStyle("embedFonts", "true");

Now, how do I make it so that the font is embedded fully into the combo box?
I went on to also try the following, but with no luck.

PHP Code:

myComboInstance.setStyle("embedFonts", "true");          //-no worky

myComboInstance.dropdown.setStyle("embedFonts", "true");    //-no worky

If someone could enlighten me on this and put a stop to my syntax guesswork that’d be awesome.

Thank you.
