[F8] Move Group Of MCs
I'm really scratching my head on this one ... how to get a group of selected MCs to move together (relative to one another's position) when one of them is dragged. Anybody?

PHP Code:

for (var i = 0; i<=arrayLength; i++) {
    var aItem = this["item"+i];
    aItem.onPress = function() {
        depth++;
        moveSelectedItems("start");
        this.swapDepths(depth);
        this.gotoAndStop(2);
        this.startDrag(false);
    };
    aItem.onRelease = function() {
        _global.drag = false;
        moveSelectedItems("stop");
        stopDrag();
        this.gotoAndStop(1);
        this.xpos = this._x;
        this.ypos = this._y;
    };
}
function moveSelectedItems(mystatus){
    if (mystatus == "start"){
        /*
        for(var m = 0; m<=arrayLength; m++) {
            var thisItem = _root["item"+m];
            if (thisItem.marqueed == "true"){
                thisItem._x = aItem._x;
            }
        }
        */
    }
}

Group Loader
I just threw it together, so feel free to change it

PHP Code:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
class LoadGroup {
    var onItemLoad:Function;
    var onGroupLoad:Function;
    var onLoadProgress:Function;
    var onLoadComplete:Function;
    private var progress:Number;
    private var interval:Number;
    private var loadArray:Array;
    function LoadGroup() {
        loadArray = new Array();
    }
    function addLoadItem(clip:MovieClip, url:String):Void {
        var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
        var loadListener:Object = new Object();
        loadArray.push({url:url, clip:clip, mcl:mcl, loadListener:loadListener});
        //mcl.addListener(loadListener);
    }
    function startLoad():Void {
        for (var i:Number = 0; i<loadArray.length; i++) {
            var item:Object = loadArray[i];
            item.mcl.addListener(item.loadListener);
            item.mcl.loadClip(item.url, item.clip);
            item.loadListener.onLoadInit = Delegate.create(this, onItemLoad);
        }
        interval = setInterval(this, "loadProgress", 33);
    }
    private function loadProgress():Void {
        var totalTemp:Number = 0;
        var progressTemp:Number = 0;
        var perc:Number = 0;
        for (var i:Number = 0; i<loadArray.length; i++) {
            var item:Object = loadArray[i];
            var prog:Object = item.mcl.getProgress(item.clip);
            var bl:Number = prog.bytesLoaded;
            var bt:Number = prog.bytesTotal;
            perc += Math.round(((bl/bt)*100)/loadArray.length);
            totalTemp += bt;
            progressTemp += bl;
        }
        //trace(perc);
        if (perc >= 99) {
            onGroupLoad();
            clearInterval(interval);
        } else {
            onLoadProgress(progressTemp, totalTemp, perc);
        }
    }
}

Heres the implementation

PHP Code:

import mx.utils.Delegate;
var lg:LoadGroup=new LoadGroup();
lg.addLoadItem(_root.createEmptyMovieClip("1", _root.getNextHighestDepth()), "1.jpg");
lg.addLoadItem(_root.createEmptyMovieClip("2", _root.getNextHighestDepth()), "2.jpg");
lg.addLoadItem(_root.createEmptyMovieClip("3", _root.getNextHighestDepth()), "3.jpg");
lg.onGroupLoad=Delegate.create(this, groupLoaded);
lg.onItemLoad=Delegate.create(this, groupLoaded);
lg.onItemLoad=Delegate.create(this, onItemLoad);
lg.onLoadProgress=Delegate.create(this, onLoadProgress);
function onLoadProgress():Void{
    trace(arguments);
}
function onItemLoad():Void{
    trace(arguments);
}
function groupLoaded():Void{
    trace("Group Loaded");
}
lg.startLoad();

Button Group
I have been working creating a group of buttons. Similar to a radio button
group where only one button can be selected at a time. Here is a snippet
of code:

b_0.onRelease = function() {
reset_buttons();
this.enabled = false;
this.gotoAndStop( "disabled" );
// other button code
}

// Other buttons look like the one above

reset_buttons = function() {
for ( var i = 0; i < numofbuttons; i++ ) {
var the_button = this[ "b_" + i ];
the_button.enabled = true;
the_button.gotoAndStop( "_up" );
}
}

The code here works just fine but, I have been thinking there may be a
better solution. I was reading about listener objects and began getting
vague ideas that clicking one button could notify all of the other
buttons.

I have also been trying to upgrade by understanding of AS 2.0. I started
to think this might be done as a class. Maybe something that extends
movieClip?

I'm looking for ideas or suggestions anyone might have to offer.

thanks

On(rollOut) For A Group Of Buttons?
Hello. I have a nav bar that I am working on that is collapsable. I have one main button that slides a "navbar" MC out from under it, showing 5 buttons. Right now, if you click on any of the buttons, 5 more pop out from the side of that button. I want to have an on(press) - and have the side pop out, then on release, slide back. The problem I am having is that if I put that code on each individual button, if I go to another button, it would slide back. If I put that code on "navbar" MC, then the individual buttons are covered and will not work. How do I do this? If you are confused, I basically want it to have the same behavior as the file, edit view etc. at the top of any windows program.

Also, where do I put the code to have it back up? It is a simple

while (navbar._currentframe > 1) {
navbar._currentframe = navbar._currentframe -1;
}

is this wrong? or am I just not placing it in the right spot?

thanks in advance

Load External .swf's And Group Together?
thanks in advance for your help.

Flash MX - I am going to be running this from a laptop, not online.

I have a movie called "load_jpg5". On the first frame of "load_jpg5" I have an action as follows:

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("foliage",1);
loadMovieNum("foliage.swf",1)

this.createEmptyMovieClip("plants",0);
loadMovie("image.jpg","plants");

stop()

this loads an empty movie and imports a jpg. then loads another empty mc and puts an swf to run on top of it.

On the foliage.swf, they answer a number of questions and come up with one answer which is either a .png or a .gif. As soon as they get that answer I pop up a button with an action to load another .swf like this:

on (release) {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",2);
loadMovieNum("container.swf",2)
}

this all works fine. Then they answer more questions and come up with a second answer which is either a .png or a .gif.

NOW - I need to group the results of both the .swf's so I can resize them and drag them together.

please help!

Group 94 Text Effect.
Anybody have any directions I can go to figure out how Group94 did their text effects?

You can see it on the loading "news" section, but it's more recognizable in the "portfolio" section. when the user selects a different piece from the portfolio, the new text "crowds" out the old text, AND it looks like it's dynamic text from php or something!!

I think it's pretty nice, if anybody has any recomendations on how to go about getting a similair effect, that would be great.

Cheers.

Choose An Object From A Group
Hi,
If I had four movieclips on the stage(lets say 4 balls) and I clicked on one of the balls, how would I make that a signal to make the other 3 balls move off the stage?
I made a funtion like this:
MovieClip.prototype.ballClick = function(Xmove) {
if (Clicked) {
_root.ball2._x = _root.ball2._x-Xmove;
_root.ball3._x = _root.ball3._x-Xmove;
_root.ball4._x = _root.ball4._x-Xmove;
}
}
...But of course this would not work if it was any other ball then ball than number one. How can I generalize this so it can work for all four balls?

Thanks

card[i]._mc.lineTo(0, 120);
card[i]._mc.lineTo(0, 0);
card[i]._mc.endFill();

Please Help Get My Auto-Group Feature OFF
Hi everyone,

I posted this once before, but now it's happening again. Here's the situation:

I just created a circle, and once I release the mouse-button, the circle magically has a blue square around it (as in, it's been instantly grouped). I then have to Ungroup the circle. If I draw a simple line with the pencil tool, same thing happens, the line is automatically grouped and must be broken apart.

I am wondering, is auto-grouping a feature that maybe I'm triggering by hitting some key-combination on the keyboard? It's really annoying. Somehow when it happened in the past.. it only last about a day, then mysteriously stopped doing it.

Thanks so much!!

Auto-Group Problem- Please Help
I'm having trouble with a fairly recent version of flash (MX 2004). Every time I draw something, flash assumes I want it to automatically group what I've drawn as soon as I let go of the mouse button. Whether this is a setting or an error, I do not know- but it is very annoying and I am tired of highlighting and ungrouping every time I draw something and I would like help as soon as possible, so If you know a solution to this I would be extremely grateful if you took time to give some suggestions.

[CS3] Radiobutton Group Problem
Hi, I'm creating a small quiz in Flash, and I have a nasty problem I hope you can help me with.

I've set a group name like "group1" for the first group of three radio buttons, and "group2" for the next, and so on. I have 2 groups per frame. The problem is that if I continue by having "group3" and "group4" on frame 2, when it's exported; The first frame is fine, but when I continue to the next frame, the radio buttons label is gone, and the radio buttons are all selectable, like check marks.

I would really appreciate some help on this

How To Group & Fade Radiobuttons?
Hey I have a group of radiobuttons called userVote (10 element array)

Code:
userVote.radioList[i]
I noticed that I could decrement the alpha using this array in an onEnterFrame() function:

Code:
for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // loop is pretty ghetto
userVote.radioList[i]._alpha -= 10;
}
... or something similar.

However, this only fades out the buttons (and not the labels for the buttons) and I was looking for a more elegant solution anyway.

Is there a way that I can GROUP these radiobuttons (while still retaining their built-in functionality) to a movie-clip or something and then fade out the single movie clip in an onEnterFrame event to get all the radiobuttons to fade in one fell swoop?

Thanks much for anyone that can help.

How To Generate A Group Number?
PHP Code:

     total += group[i];
   }
   group[8] = num - total;
   total += group[8];
    trace(group.toString()+", "+total+" == "+num);
}
generate(500);

although this can generate a group of numbers. But it can't limit the last number within 100. So have any better ways to limit all the numbers?

RadioButton Group Not Working
I tried this script to create radioButtons and it worked, except that the two buttons in each group are not exclusive. It lets me click both buttons. Why? Is there a bug or did I do something wrong? Here is the script I used:

/**
Requires:

*/
stop ();

import mx.controls.RadioButton;
_global.style.setStyle("fontSize",20);

this.createClassObject(RadioButton, "oneYes_rb", 10, {groupName:"Q01"});
this.createClassObject(RadioButton, "oneNo_rb", 20, {groupName:"Q01"});

// Position RadioButtons on Stage.
oneYes_rb.move(765, 363);
oneNo_rb.move(oneYes_rb.x + oneYes_rb.width, oneYes_rb.y);
//third_rb.move(700, four_rb.y + four_rb.height);

// Create listener object.
var rbListener:Object = new Object();
rbListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object){
trace("The selected Q01 is " + evt_obj.target.selection);
Q01 = evt_obj.target.selection;
}
// Add listener.
Q01.addEventListener("click", rbListener);

//Repeat for Question 2
this.createClassObject(RadioButton, "twoYes_rb", 30, {groupName:"Q02"});
this.createClassObject(RadioButton, "twoNo_rb", 40, {groupName:"Q02"});

//this.createClassObject(RadioButton, "third_rb", 30, {label:"third", groupName:"radioGroup"});

// Position RadioButtons on Stage.
twoYes_rb.move(765, 495);
twoNo_rb.move(twoYes_rb.x + twoYes_rb.width, twoYes_rb.y);

// Create listener object.
var rbListener:Object = new Object();
rbListener.click = function(evt_obj:Object){
trace("The selected Q02 is " + evt_obj.target.selection);
Q02 = evt_obj.target.selection;
}
// Add listener.
Q02.addEventListener("click", rbListener);

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
