Flash :: A Lil Advice Or Expertise Please

In Need Of Your Expertise
Hey there,

I'm very new to Actionscripting and I was wondering if any can help me. I want to open a separate popupwindow from a flash file. I already have a blank button but that doesn't control the opening.

Below is an example,
pop up window funtion - click on image (invisible button) sets a _root variable. You can't put the javascript code directly on the invis button as it isn't on the root level and wont execute the OpenURL script. The main code (probably on a clear MC in the main timeline) which onEnter Frame, checks for variables and runs the openURL script - This contains a bit if javascript that sets
attributes like width height etc of the window.

Is this correct?

Hi everyone....

I've got a script that cycles through some letters, and then makes out a work from a variable....

I've got 2 problems....

1) I would like to have the script to cycle with 2 words that are in ex:
var1 = word1
var2 = another word

as it works now it only supports one one cycle, as I said, i should support 2 words... After the first word is done cycling through there should go X seconds, and then it starts cycling through again until word2 appears....

2)
There ins't same same distance between letters, which i dont understand because of this line of code im using:
_parent["let"+x]._x += x*8.2;

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

Anyway, the whole code is:

onClipEvent (load) {
if (_name == "main") {
//Set the word
name = "Butiksassistenter";

for (x=0; x<name.length; ++x) {
this.duplicateMovieClip("let"+x, x);
_parent["let"+x]._x += x*8.2;
_parent["let"+x].endLetter = name.charAt(x);
}

//Letters that is's going to cycle through
_root.alphabet = "BbpuatrifkusmaesksoinPsstuelnetnetrer";
_alpha = 0;
} else {
cycle = true;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (cycle) {
if (this.letter == endLetter) {
++_root.count;
cycle = false;
} else {
this.letter = _root.alphabet.charAt(random(_root.alphabet.length ));
}
}
}

Expertise And Input Needed
Hello,

I am designing a washing machine interface for a project at school and I am in way over my head. This is my first project working with AS and I am at a stand still in my quest to have a working interface.

My original design was a carousel that sequence out a user as they would make their selections on the washing machine (Mode> mode selections> Water Level> water level selection, etc.) I don't think it's that important anymore but I've found myself stalling on how to go about incorporating the secondary levels of information. Any help or advice to get to the next level would be appreciated

The dial has 2 invisible buttons located on the top and bottom to advance the carousel

Here's a link to the files if you feel like playing around with them.

Help Me XML And Flash Expertise Required
Hello there!

I am wondering if anyone would be so kind to help me out with the following.

I am looking to make a flash movie (130px x 56px) that draws in information from a xml file. This has to work with Flash 5 Plugin.

Take a look at here(PLEASE COPY AND PASTE LINK INTO BROWSER WINDOW, it will not work if you directly click on it):

http://www.geocities.com/freeeky/xml_pic.gif

It shows the layout of what im after.

Here is what it has to do.

1. The text 'SD' has to be a clickable link. The XML file will supply the URL and also specify whether it opens a new browser window, or opens a pop up window with a specified size.

2. The numbers are supplied by the xml and need to be updated every 60 seconds, as the xml file will also be updating constantly.
The colour of the numbers will change when they increase or decrease in value from the last update. So if they go increase they turn Orange and if they get smaller they go a a Blue.
These need to be clickable links, that open either a new browser window or pop up as specified by the XML file.

3. The names on the far right will be specified by the xml file too.
This does not need to be a link, just display the text.

Here is the XML that I have been supplied with (COPY AND PASTE LINK INTO BROWSER):

http://www.geocities.com/freeeky/tester.xml

I think its probably self explanitary. 'dir' means the direction the numbers are moving.

I dont think this would be too tricky to an advanced xml/flash user...but for me its a nightmare!!

If someone could knock up a test fla for me that would be great!

Please help.

Michael

Wanted: Flash Scripting Expertise
Hi
I am pitching an idea to a company using a Flash player that plays 4 embedded videos. Initially the player allows a user to view each of the videos 3 times. When the 'free plays' have been used up the user is required to go to a website and purchase an unlock code that allows the user to continue viewing the videos. A file is written to the PC that tells the player that the videos are unlocked.

Job spec
-Actionscripts or coding so that a flash movie player logs how many times a video is viewed and then denies permission after 3 viewings.
-Interface with an existing web-based database that supplies a unique unlocking code
-the ablility for the player to write an ini file to a directory to tell the player if the player is unlocked

any pointers in the right direction or offers to do the job are welcome

[mx] A Little Problem - Array Expertise Needed
Hi there, I've got a problem to solve... and it needs a bit of array expertise...

Okay, here are my buttons:

Code:
//////// This is an array, a list of the buttons used.
var buttons = [this.button_1, this.button_2, this.button_3, this.button_4, this.button_5, this.button_6, this.button_7, this.button_8, this.button_9, this.button_10];

Each of my buttons has a "slider" graphic, with the absolute length of each slider being set via a variable.

Like this:

Code:
//////// Set reference for the absolute length of each button's "slider".
var length_1 = 214; // slider length for button_1
var length_2 = 205; // slider length for button_2
var length_3 = 237; // and so on...

What I want to know is, when I call for example "this.button_3" out of the array... how do I get it to express it's corresponding "slider" length? In this case it would be "length_3".

For example:

Code:
this.slider.xscaleTo (100*length_#, 0.6, "easeOutBack");
It'd have to be done using the array system, but I can't quite get it right... maybe it needs an array within the array? Or maybe it can be done using the existing "i" value somehow?

Here's the code in full:

Code:
//////// Includes tweening extension.
#include "mc_tween2.as"

//////// Set reference for the absolute length of each button's "slider".
var length_1 = 214; // slider length for button_1
var length_2 = 205; // slider length for button_2
var length_3 = 237; // and so on...
var length_4 = 345;
var length_5 = 239;
var length_6 = 237;
var length_7 = 239;
var length_8 = 298;
var length_9 = 228;
var length_10 = 165;

//////// This is an array, a list of the buttons used.
var buttons = [this.button_1, this.button_2, this.button_3, this.button_4, this.button_5, this.button_6, this.button_7, this.button_8, this.button_9, this.button_10];

//////// Loops on all buttons from the first to the last one...
for (var i=0; i<buttons.length; i++) {

//////// onRollover actions...
buttons[i].onRollOver = function() {
this.title.colorTo (0xcc0000, 0.1, "linear"); // change colour
this.slider.xscaleTo (0, 0.4, "easeOutQuart"); // reduce slider length

mySound=new Sound;
mySound.attachSound("3");
mySound.start()
trace("3");

};

//////// onRollout actions...
buttons[i].onRollout = buttons[i].onReleaseOutside = function() {
this.title.colorTo (0x666666, 0.01, "linear"); // back to original colour
this.slider.xscaleTo (100*length_#, 0.6, "easeOutBack"); // back to original slider length

};

//////// onRelase actions...
buttons[i].onRelease = function() {
this._parent.activateItem (this); // when the mouse clicks... activate it!
trace ("Hey, button "+this+" was clicked.");

};

}

//////// Function that activates a button.
this.activateItem = function(item) {

// Checks if there's an activated item already; if so, deactivates it.
if (this.currentItem != false) this.deActivateItem();

// Activates it, finally
this.currentItem = item;
this.currentItem.alphaTo (50, 1); // reduces opacity to 50
this.currentItem.slider.xscaleTo (0); // locks slider length on 0px
this.currentItem.enabled = false; // disables button, so it won't receive mouse events
};

//////// Function that deactivates the current/previously activated button.
this.deActivateItem = function() {

this.currentItem.enabled = true; // back to a normal button
this.currentItem.alphaTo (100, 0.5); // back to original opacity
this.currentItem.title.colorTo (0x666666, 0.01, "linear"); // back to original colour
this.currentItem.slider.xscaleTo (100*length_#, 0.6, "easeOutBack"); // back to original slider length
this.currentItem = undefined;

};

stop();
Thanks in advance for any help!

Expertise Needed For A Simple Issue
Hello,

I am trying to get around a customer's firewall issues. They have a local flash sniffer on their intranet and don't want their employees leaving my companies program/their local intranet to obtain a Flash Player.

It appears, however that even if you disable the context menu in flash with Actionscript, the "about Macromedia Flash Player 7" still remains and links to Macromedia.

Also, if you take out the direct links that flash outputs when publishing its HTML in the <object>/<embed> tag does nothing to stop Flash Player from taking a user to Macromedia if the plug-in does not already exisit.

Is there any solutions/hacks/work-a-rounds involving this issue

Thanks,
callard

[F8] Flash Accordion Menu - Expertise Sought
Hi everyone. I’m new to this so bear with me. I’m hoping someone can help me out here with a flash accordion menu on my site.

http://www.themilitary.co.uk

switch site to Army of Me and you’ll find it on the left. The fla file can be downloaded at:

http://www.themilitary.co.uk/aom/images/aom_nav0.fla

Ok heres the problem – probably familiar to anyone whose dealt with these things before and you can spot it immediately when you use the menu: I need a way to keep the section open on the menu when you click on a subnav option. I have little understanding of actionscript and it took me a while just to get the menu to work and look the way it does (i didnt build it from scratch obviously). But i did build the entire site so i have some knowledge of html. I am guessing i need to pass a variable from each html page to direct the movie to ‘stay open’ at certain points. What this code might look like and where it would go is beyond me at the minute. If someone would be kind enough to download the fla file and give me an idea of what code needs to go in each page i’d be very grateful.

Thanks in advance – Antony

I'm Upgrading. Technical Expertise+suggestions Would Be Valuable To My Reseach... :)
Hi! I posted a while ago and have since made more informed decisions what I'm looking for,

My current PC is:

AMD64 3500+ 2.2ghz
1gb RAM
Abit AV8-3rd Eye (Socket 939)
NVIDIA 6800GT 256mb

This PC doesnt seem to be up for the task anymore it crashes all the time using programs like AE/Flash & Photoshop and I would like to upgrade.
After some research I am interested in building a new computer using Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (Socket LGA775). This really looks to me the best value for money processor right now.

I want to spend around £500 (1006.85 US$)

For the other components I am VERY loosely considering:

RAM: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=321028, (Corsair TWIN2X 6400C4 DDR2, 2048MB CL4) £60~

Motherboard: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=329724 (ABIT IN9 32X-MAX WiFi) £130~

Graphics Card: http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.aspx?sku=327560 (Point of View GeForce 8800GTS 640MB) £230~

This is a very rough outline as to what I wish to buy, what do you think? -be critical! I don't want to pay for anything I won't use and this will be my only upgrade for perhaps 3-5years so I must choose and time it very wisely.

With the CPU included at £165~ this should cost me just under £600. Could I get a good enough performance with a cheaper graphics card and motherboard? I believe I can reduce the total price by about £100 this way. Or on another note, should I purchase 8800GTX? Is the performance difference that good? I don't want to buy the most expensive components, but I want a significant increase in performance over my current system and it would be great if the computer can outperform my Xbox 360 console for videogames (by setting this benchmark I can be confident I'll be able to run Crysis, Gears Of War and others), so I am all about the best value for money here and the only component that clearly offers this is the Processor to me

Thanks for any help!
...and I know this post is a little messy I've basically brainstormed everything I wish to achieve

Some Advice (actually A Lot Of Advice) On Navigating My Web Site
My web Site consists of 1 large flash movie that is being used as a template for the site as a whole. Different 'pages' in the site will consist of the same movie...different colour and content.
ie
Page1 = template/ red/ content A
Page2 = template/ blue/ content B etc etc

My problem is with navigation ( and not knowing enougth about flash )

Choice 1. use traditional hltm with frames. navigation buttons on the left frame call up the a url to load the new flash template.

Problem. Can the call command to load, the url, also navigate to a certain frame within the template?

Choice 2 Make the different pages into different scenes within the same movie.

2A Can the navigation buttons be in a different frame ( web page frame as opposed to a flash frame) and if they can how do I navigate
,or can I navigate as below

Button 1 = load url= www.blah/blah/blah gotoandplay= frame 40

2B the navigation button are in the main movie ( template ) how do I tell it to go to,

button1= go to scene2 frame 30 and play

Lastly!! If I go down the scenes route does flash load the whole movie before it starts playing, this would not be acceptable due to download times, or can it be made to;

1 Load the next scene when it is requested
even better
2 Be made to load the other scenes while the user is looking at the first scene

There will be a large bottle of whiskey ( if your old enougth) for any help that you can give me. Thanks

A Little Advice Please?
Hi,

I have a couple of very general questions and maybe one or two not so general questions.

I`ve recently downloaded the trial version of Flash 5, and I`m finding it all a bit much for me.
I have zero knowledge of HTML (is this going to be a major problem) Having used a drag and drop webdesign program called Trellix web for the last 3 years.
I understand how to insert HTML scripts into this program to activate certain things like counters and guestbooks etc. but my first question is...

1. Will it be essential for me to learn HTML and how to use a program like WSFTP before I can ever get to upload anything I create in Flash 5.
2. Any suggestions as to where to go for a "complete idiot`s guide to Flash" so i can actually understand the damn thing?
3. Will I be able to use the art programs I have (PSP7 , Adobe 6, Ulead 6 and 7, Cool3d, Animation shop, etc) to design my graphics and then convert them into Flash files that will become animated yet smaller in size for my web pages?
4. Are there any of you fine people out there who have the time to actually help me out as and when I get completely stuck on what I`m trying to do?

Many thanks for your help...and bear in mind that the trial is only 30 days, and I WONT be buying the full version if I cant understand how on earth it works...lol

Advice On Png's

This is question regarding working with layers (I think) and flash 5.

I want to make a frame that has several buttons. when clicking on the button one word appears, when clicking on the another button another word appears.

My problem is that I have several frames and the words are shared among them all, so I don't want to make the appearing words for each frame seperetly.

Is there a way to call the appearing word, without leaving the frame I'm in - so that the image on the frame will stay?

I know it is kind of complicated and I hope I managed to explain what I want.

Thank you vary much.

Looking For Some Advice
Ok, writing a movie that can display schedules, there are 28 potential classes going on, rooms are numbered 101 through 212, I am bringing in the data for the schedules using loadvar from a text file, works great. here is my problem, if there is nothing in 102, I want 101 and 103 to show up in order, without the blank space where 102 should be. would I be better off making all of the dynamic text boxes and then sending the vars to it, or would it be better if I make the dynamic text boxes dynamic, so they are made on the fly? I think that is the way I want to do it, but I am having problems assigning a var to the dynamic text box in code. I can hard wire the vars on a dynamic text box but not with code, keep getting a ";" expected error. thanks in advance, and remember, I just need to know how I can assign the vars to a dynamic text box with code. or if I am even on the right track.
Thanks

Need A Little Advice Please
Hello everyone,

First I must thank everyone for all there input on this board. It has really helped me out THANX!! =).

Okay now my question...

I put together a preloader for my site. Rather than putting it as a seperate scene, I placed it as a movie clip on the first frame of my main timeline.

I decided not to go the scene route, due to the fact that when I placed it as a seperate scene. Alot of my action scripting I had wrote did not work anymore. I beleive that this was due to a targeting issue. Rather than change all of my page I scrapped the scene all together.

My problem (or maybe its just flash) is that when I test my movie using the bandwidth profiler set to a 56k connection or less there is almost a 7 second delay before my preloader kicks in. You basically just sit there staring at a blank screen. I think this maybe confusing for users when they arrive.

Is there something I can do about this? I don`t want people leaving my site due to the fact that they think it doesn`t work...

thanks in advance..

I thought I understood this but I guess I don't. I am working on a practice quiz and want to show a timer while students take the quiz. I have a getTimer on a movie clip on frame 5 and a getTimer on the try again button on frame 7. I am using an array to dynamically load jpegs and to load the questions and answers. Everything works fine except that when I use the try again button to reset the quiz my timer doesn't reset. The quiz has 20 questions. You can use the number keyboard (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 0)to quickly go to the end of the quiz. Can someone please take a look and give me suggestions. Flash is just a hobby for me so I am no expert. Of course the pics won't load from here.

Hmm.. I Really Need Some Advice Please
I am making a site that looks like a 3x5 inch index card on a tablecloth. The tablecloth is a the html background pattern. But I decided that for some of the site sections I want objects to appear that are outside the 3x5 card (such as a pen, or a coffee mug, whatever.)

I could make the flash stage bigger and put some of the background on the flash stage and try to make it align with the html background, that way i would have space to put objects outside the 3x5 card.... BUT i know the backgrounds wont align correctly for all viewers.

So can i just make the stage take up the whole viewing space and not have scroll bars appear for the cloth background, but only when the 3x5 card goes off the screen???

Advice Me Please
Hello!
I need some help here regarding my little flash development, here the case looks like this:

There are four boxes and one object, there is an interactivity which i completely dont know how to do. What i exactly want to do is when someone drag the object to all of these four boxes, object only go to the correct box where we defined to which one it should go. Lets make it more simple by numbering all of the four boxes and the object have to go inside the third object. So, if the user drag the object into 1st, 2nd and the 4rth object, it shows an error message but if the user drag the object into the 3rd box it shows welcome and move forward as we designed.
I know my english is not good, you people must be getting problems understanding my question. But i think every thing has been cleared. So, kindly advice me how can i do that or is there any same script stored in Flashkit somewhere, kindly help.

Thanks and await,
Amir

Help Or Advice PLEASE
Please take a look at the enclosed file.

It is a menu system for a website. It has some mouse trails that attach to the mouse. This is where the problem lies!.

Everything appears to work fine. But if you leave the file alone and do not move the mouse, after a certain time, you will see a LARGE version of the MC that attaches to the mouse appears on the screen and is rotating. What is going on?

PLEASE HELP

Hiya peeps!
I just made a clock in Flash 5 which has a special 'animation' evry hour; on the hour & i want 2 put it on my website. The only problem is, im quite dense when it comes to colours!

PROBLEM 01 ::
Could you please look @ my site:

http://www.terminalnet.co.uk

My clock will appear in the top right corner where it says 'Watch this space'.

I'm not too sure of wat colours 2 put for the hour, minute and second hand, also the clock face.
If i put it all as blue, then it may look 2 ordinary, and i want the clock 2 stand out, but if i put the colours different, the clock mite not 'fit in' with the page. Please help.

PROBLEM 02 ::
In a post i read about a week ago, it said about puttin the flash bg as transparent using html. After searching through posts, i could not find the one i was looking for .

Ne1 know how 2 make the flash movie 'transparent'??

Please help.

A Little Advice Please..
I am building a Mp3 player for a website i am creating however i have a couple of questions...

I can import the track details from the database without trouble and load them into the player, however I wonder the best way to create the playlist. Should i place the tracks and their information into an array or is there a better object to use?

I am using a sound object to play the tracks, is it a good idea to create a new sound object for each track or should i reuse just one or two...which leads on to my next question..if i were to use 2 sound objects does anyone know how i can fade the two sounds together, a nice little function perhaps

SO far my code can be simplified to

code: //Create Sound for the MP3
mainS = new Sound();
//------------------------------
//Loads the track into the sound
setTrack = function (trackSource) {
mainS.loadSound(trackSource, true);
currentMP3 = "Song Has Loaded";
gotoAndPlay("Playing");
};

//------------------------------
//function for completed track
mainS.onSoundComplete = function() {
title = "Song complete";
gotoAndPlay("Paused");
};

//------------------------------
//Test Data
src = "d:/beats/sausagesong.mp3";
setTrack(src);

Need Some Advice On How To Do This...
I have a picture of the world, kinda like this:

http://www.maproom.psu.edu/graphics2/dcw/world-rmap.jpg

Except nicer-looking.

Anyways, what I want to do with it is to have each continent kind of "flash" randomly. Think of lightning in the sky (the sheet lightning). I just want to make each continent flash randomly.

I'm just not sure how to go about 'cutting' the continents so they're seperate symbols and stuff. Can anybody give me some advice to kick-start this little project?

Thanks!

Need Some Serious Advice On Where To Go With This.
Hey all,

I've been contracted to do something I've never done before. The concept is clear - it will be a Flash advertisement, and when you hover over it, a little survey appears. There will be about 5 radio buttons for people to select, and as they select the radio buttons I need the data to be posted to a server (no submit button, is this even possible without a submit button?

For exmple:

Your Age:
[] 15-25
[] 26-35
[] 35 and over

Your sex
[] Male
[] Female

So on and so forth..

So basically, when a person rolls over this ad, a little survey will popup with radio buttons for them to select. I have no idea how to:

1) Make it so the data is posted to a server without a submit button - is it possible? Or should I just have a submit button?

2) How would you assign an action to a radio button? Would I have to make the radio button have an invisible button over it to post the data?

3) Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks a lot, I really appreicate it

-Zach
