Can somebody please help me out on this...
Thanks in advance.

Accordion Label Problem (hard One)
Hi, this is a hard one,
I am on MX 2004
I need a way to customize the accordion component so that when you open a child, the font in the header changes to a different color, this is what I used, and works:

code:
myAccordionListener = new Object();
myAccordionListener.lastSelected=-1;
myAccordionListener.change = function(){
var zch=myAccordion.selectedIndex;
if(this.lastSelected>=0)
{
var prevHead=myAccordion['_header'+this.lastSelected].labelPath;
prevHead.setStyle('color','0x6A8288');
}

this.lastSelected=zch;
var head=myAccordion['_header'+zch].labelPath;



head.setStyle('color','0x000000');

}
myAccordion.addEventListener("change", myAccordionListener);


Now the problem is, since the accordion component appears with one view already open I would like the initially open header to have the correct color,
so after creating all childs I do:

code:
var head=myAccordion['_header0'].labelPath;
head.setStyle('color','0x000000');


BUT it won't work, any hint?

Thanks a lot
Sergio

Label Property Control: Cannot Change Label Props
Hi,

I have a simple movie with a number of pre-positioned labels (not to be confused with timeline labels or text fields). I'm trying to change their size, font type, and other properties with no success.

Are labels treated/manipulated in the same manor as text fields?

I've exhausted 4 AS books and can't see any differences.

Thanks,

Movie Control, Frame Label
I have a basic movie (menu) with 4 colored squares in it. This movie has 4 frame labels (red' orange, blue, green) and they slide from left to right in order to center the corresponding color to the frame. I'm going to use this as a scrolling menu that is controlled by 2 buttons to scroll forward and backwards. Is it possible to code the buttons so that the movie menu plays until it hits a frame label.

Example: if I hit the forward button I want the menu movie to play all the frames between frame labels 'red' and orange' and stop on orange. I suck at coding so if there are any tutorials out there that any of you know can you point me in that direction. Thanks.

[F8] Pressing A Button To Trigger A Frame Label Animation?
Ok I'm having some problems getting an MC to play an animation when a button is held down. First I put a button over the MC and had some script on it to go play the frame label to start the animation but it didnt work so I made the button on a seperate layer and it still didnt work, so then i added some onClipEvent script to the MC itself but with mousedown gotoAndPlay the frame label, that works however you can press the mouse button anywhere on the screen, I want it to be in the same area as the MC.

Can I trigger the frame label to work from a button? Also I have a mouse cursor MC as well if I can put code on that for it to work, I'll keep trying maybe I can work something out

Help With Animation Control
Hoping someone can help me

I want to create an animation that will continue to play until a key is pressed

I want the animation to continue backwards and forwards rather than looping from beginning to end. And the amount of steps forwards and backwards to be random.

For instance say I have 100 frames in my animation.
I want to start at frame 50
Then randomly go forward x frames (say to frame 73)
Then randomly go backwards x frames (say to frame 60)
Then randomly go forwards x frames (say to frame 65)
Then randomly go backwards x frames (say to frame 40)
Then randomly go forwards x frames (say to frame 75)
Then randomly go backwards x frames (say to frame 62)
etc...

On reaching frame 1 the animation will reverse direction and play forwards (ie towards frame 100)
On reaching frame 100 the animation will reverse direction and play backwards(ie towards frame 1)

Thus the animation will continue to travel backwards and forwards but by random lengths.

Can anyone help me?

MediaController - Can It Control Animation?
Hi

Please look at http://www.artdirections.co.uk/video...opres1207.html

I am working on a video with synchronised animation. Please note that I have used a Macromedia flv purely to test this, and am not claiming that this video footage is mine! So far I've only applied actions to the first two buttons and am using them as "scene selectors".

I would like to know if it's possible for the MediaController to control the animation as well as the video. I have tried using the Labeled Frame CuePoint Navigation behaviour (assigned to both the MediaController and the MediaDisplay). Neither works. Is it possible to control the animation with this playback bar?

I've trawled through endless tutorials etc but can't seem to get anywhere.

Thanks in advance

Animation Control Like In Video
Hello!

I have a problem with this: I have an animation that is about a minute long. There are different movements, masks, all mainly done with help of mc_tween.as. But not all.

This can be an external swf or just an mc, it doesnt matter.
Now I need the controls for this mc. Play, pause, stop and a slider control like u see in movie players with which you can drag the slider to the location in the movie you want.

Is this possible to do since there is no clear progress in the animation?
Where would I begin with this?

thx for all answers!

Control Animation With Keyboard?
Hey all!
I'm trying to create an input field where a user types a word and if correct, the movie progresses to the next frame (I just can't don't know how). More importantly, I wondered if there was a way to substitute clicking on a button with hitting a key on the keyboard? So instead of using a "submit" button to check the field's value... the user can just hit the "enter" or "return" button and the "if" and "gotoandplay" actions will occur. It shouldn't be TOO hard but I'm not sure. thanks!!

AS3 Animation W/ 2 Control Points (IK?)
I am working on a AS3 animation that is of a piston. This piston is connected to a up and down y motion and at the bottom does a circular motion around a cog like stucture. So the sprite essentially needs to animate on the y axis and I can do that fine. The base of the sprite needs to rotate around an axis, which I can do as well. But I can't do both. It becomes almost an invers kinimatics setup. Any resources for that. You can see an example of the animation I have found as a reference here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-stroke_cycle there is a gif animation on the page. Any resources or anyone that wants to help me concept this out?

Thanks

Trying To Retrieve A Variable To Control Animation
Using Flash MX 6
Both files are attached.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have a .txt file with "&data=56" as my var.
I want to retrieve the variable and place it inside
a dynamic text box. "editbox"
The text box is part of a movie clip. "needleMC"
When the value 56 is retrieved and placed inside the editbox, it is also relayed to another dynamic text box (inside the same MC) to show speed. "speedBox"
The script works inside the Scene or _root no problem, but when I placed it inside a Movie Clip it stopped working???

Not sure what went wrong?

Also, would you happen to know if the Movie Clip could constantly check the "data.txt" file for changes and then update?


Thanks,

Making A Scrubber Bar To Control Animation, Not FLV
Hi -

I've been searching for weeks and can't figure this out.

I need to make a scrubber bar to control a simple timeline with streaming audio and animation.

I've figured out how to make a scrubber that will allow me to drag it to a point in the animation, and continuing playing the animation.

It's buggy though, when I move the mouse it jerks the animation. I also need the little scrubber bar button to follow the progress.

If anyone can help me out with this or point me to a place where I can learn how to do it, I'd be much appreciative!!!

All the tutorials I've found are for FLV scrubber bar control, not animation.

Here's an example:

Mouse Wheel To Control Animation
I am building an installation at the moment, which treats a screen much like one of those pop-up books. I want to attach physical wheels and pull-out tabs which control animations, so for example, when a tab is pulled upwards, something rises in the animation. I was thinking just to make it a "click" to trigger the animation, but i'd rather the animation went with the tabs being pulled out, if you get me? therefore, i thought using a mouse scrollwheel would work, but is that possible?

Sorry if its a bit confusing. Would like to hear any opinions or any way to get this done, as i haven't got a clue and i'm not very actionscript-literate!

Thanks!

Control An Animation Timeline With Mouse Coordinates?
Hello, I'm new to the site, and this looks like a fantastic forum! I'm sure someone will tell me that my question has been answered in "thread XYZ", but I just can't seem to find it. So here goes.

What I am trying to do, is have 4 selectable icons orbiting each other on a single oval motion path, and look like they get larger as they come to the closest point in the orbit, and smaller as they reach the furthest point. I have this entire animation working fine, on a timeline that is 60 frames in length.

The part I am stumped on, is my desire to have the icons run counter-clockwise (forwards through the timeline) if the mouse is on the right side, clockwise (backwards through the timeline) if the mouse is on the left, and rotate gradually slower as the mouse moves towards the center point.

I've seen tutorials on doing something similar to this with a horizontal menu, but the technique doesn't seem to quite fit what I am trying to do. I can post my current source file if that will convey my idea a little better.

Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to helping out others here!

GotoAndPlay Won't Control Externally Loaded Swf Animation...
I have my main movie that has a container movieclip called vulture_container_mc. That container MC loads "vulture_mc.swf" into it. There is a button on the main movie that loads that swf into the container MC. I did the if statement in the beginning so the person couldn't keep reloading the animation when you click on the button over and over. It works so they can't do that, but now they can only press the button once, after that one time the button doesn't work.

Here is the main movie I'm talking about:

>>Main Movie<<

The vulture animation when you click the email button is the external swf file. I would like to make it where they can't keep reloading the animation (which works with the if statement, but I also need it so you can press the email button again after the animation is done to cause the vulture animation and email link to work again.

Here's the code in the email button:


Code:
on (release) {
if (vultureClicked == 0) {
loadMovie("vulture_mc.swf", "_root.vulture_container_mc");
vultureClicked = 1;
}
trace(vultureClicked);
}
on (release) {
if (vultureClicked == 2) {
_root.vulture_container_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
vultureClicked = 3;

trace(vultureClicked);
}

AHHHHHHHHH Help With Mouse Position To Control Animation
Hello all,

SO I have two mc buttons, one inside acting as a normal button the other for effect. Now I know all about how to make them work seperate but that is not the problem.

When i go over the imbedded button the effect button on the outside wants to go to the up state.

SO i figured that if I used a mouse event to tell the button on the outside to stay at over as long as it was in a specified area. That way I can keep it at the over state while it goes over the imbedded button.

I hope I haven't lost you.

so now I can't get the x value and the y value to call the function to the over state in that area. I'm a new and it is driving me nutty. Here is my fla

Newbie Actionscript Animation Control Question
Hi,

I'm trying to control coded animations with buttons, here is my stripped down code:

// Animation code:

function anim1() {
// looping animation code here
}

function anim2() {
// looping animation code here
}

function anim3() {
// looping animation code here
}

// Button code:

button1_btn.onRelease = function() {
anim1();
};

button2_btn.onRelease = function() {
anim2();
};

button3_btn.onRelease = function() {
anim3();
};

When I press button1_btn, each press starts a new anim1 function. When I press button2_btn, anim1 still loops, but now anim2 plays at the same time. What I really want is for each button1_btn press, to cancel any previous anim1 function, and then start a new anim1. Likewise, if I press button2_btn, it should cancel any previous running animations, then start a new anim2. I hope I'm not confusing, not sure how to explain it, but essentially I'm trying to start and stop three coded animations with three buttons.

Thanks,

Forward And Backward Animation Control Of Film Strip
I have looked all over for help on this and cannot find it.

Here is the deal:

I have a graphic that i have animated on the main scene. The graphic is my main page. It looks like a film strip. I am wanting to create buttons to go to each box of the strip that represent each part of my page: home, about, pixs, ect. I have 6 sections. I need to be able to animate from each of the 6 sections to any and all of the others. Ex. from 1 to 6 or from 2 to 3. I am cool with getting them to go forward, but i am stuck on getting the animations to play backwards. I could create another set of animations that make the film appear that it is moving backwards, but i would like to use the same animation to move the film backwards.

If section 1 animates to section 2 from frame 10-30 I am wanting the animation from secion 2 to 1 to reverse from frame 30 and stop at 10

am i out of my mind or can i do this? I have a fair working understanding of actionscripting, i just cant get my head around this one. I just started using mx and am not sure if it has something that will make this possible.

Thanks in advance for looking at this long post and any help you could offer.

Can I Control A MovieClip Animation Based On A NetStream Event?
First off, here is the website I'm working on:

http://www.littlefenris.com/RAMPSI/

What I am trying to do is get the animation of the audio levels (red bars next to the power switch) to only happen while a video is actually playing (videos are in the video gallery section). I have the animation done and I can easily get it to start and stop based on pressing the play and stop buttons, but since they start and pause the video you would get instances where the video isn't playing but the audio levels would be animated, which I don't want.

Here is an example of the code in the play button (using NetConnection and NetStream to play the videos):


Code:
play_btn.onPress = function() {
playSound.start();
infoText_txt.text = "PLAY";
my_ns.pause(spotToPlay);
};
The only way I can think to make it work exactly as I want it is to have Flash look to see if the video is actually playing or not and I can't figure out how to do this or if its even possible using the NetStream command I am using to start and stop the videos.

Any help is much appreciated.

Check If Label Loaded When The Label Is An Expression?
Hi all!

I am using an array where I store all the labels I use in my movie, and now I would like to be able to check if a label has loaded and if not start a loader instead.

If I use code like this:

ifFrameLoaded (labelList[label+1])

it says that the frame (label) is loaded even though it isn't, but if I write:

ifFrameLoaded ("mylabel")

then everything works fine.
Here's my question: Is there a way to check if label is loaded if that label-name is stored as an expression?

I'm using flash 5 on win2k.

Jumping To Frame Label Before Playing Desired Frame Label.
Hi, I'm new to flash as of a couple months ago. I made a project and I have a frame label that is an outro for the frame label(s) before it. I want this outro to play when the user clicks a button on my menu. Right now, when the button is pressed, it jumps directly to that frame label. Is there a way I can make a specific outro (that will change depending on the current frame label) to play before the frame label that the button calls on plays? This is probably confusing.

this is the actionscript i have so far, which is simply calling on the right frame label:
}
this.btn_home.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndPlay("home");
}

what i want to do is tell it to figure out which label its currently on, then play the outro label, then go to "home" and play that. is this possible? thanks.

I know the script that will :

on (release) {

_root.gotoAndStop("yourLabel");

}


BUT...
Instead of specifying "yourLabel" is there a way to make the button just go to the next label?? (and/or previous label)??

If I knew this it would save me from editting the movieclip's button form each label and would mean the movieclip could run throughout the whole timeline.

Sorry if I havent explained myself clearly. But if anyone can help I'd be a happy man.

Thanks you kindly...

Label To Label Navigation?
I’m creating a presentation with a control bar. This control bar allows the user to go forward 1 section, back 1 section or all the way back to the beginning. I have the sections defined on the timeline by labels. Each section may have a varying length.

Rather than using nextFrame and prevFrame to go from frame to frame, I would like the control bar buttons to allow the user to move back to the previous labeled frame or forward to the next labeled frame, instead of just frame to frame.

Can someone please detail how to do this? I thought of setting up an array of label names, but I’m not sure that is the most efficient way or exactly how to code it. Is it better to set this up as slides in Flash instead?

Previous Label/next Label
I am looking for actionscript that allows you to jump to the previous label, or the next label, similar to "go previous" or "go next" in Director Lingo. Surely there is such a thing?

Thanks.

GotoAndPlay A Frame Label Where The Frame Label Is A Variable
gotoAndPlay a frame label where the frame label is a variable


I found a cool dynamic menu that works off of arrays and have been able to modify/customize the array. Once you click on the button it sets a variable name the variable is “_root.select”

I would like to the root time line to gotoAndPlay a frame label that I have that would be the variable name


Lets say in my array I have the following
Jim
Dave
Sally
Karen

And the user selects Dave the variable “_root.select” would be Dave
I would then like the root timeline to gotoAndPlay the frame label Dave
This would fall under the Function below

nc.onRelease = function() {
// Function to get submenu actions needs to go here
var my_str:String = new String(this);
_root.select = my_str.slice(18);
_root.gotoAndPlay (what goes here)

Any Help would be appreciated
