Help, Clever People Needed.
Right!, thank you for even looking at the forum!.

Anyway, I've used the 'loadvaribles' function to be able to update my 'news' section on my site. But, it means every time I want to change the news I have to upload the text file, can anyone help me create a 'guestbook' type app so I can update my news, just by typing it in online?

Anything suggestions, thanks!.

very simple question, answer is eluding me however.

If I have these values:
if(rows==6){
ratio=.3;
}

if(rows==7){
ratio=.48;
}

if(rows==11){
ratio=1.16;
}
if(rows==16){
ratio=2.5;
}
who what do I do to rows value (mathamatically) to get the ratio? ie if rows = 6 my ratio is .3
if rows = 15 my ratio is 2.5

Clever Math People Please Explain
Hi all

I have been unable to figure out something which I thought was pretty simple. I have a scroller with a widget which controls the content(see diagram below) The movement range of the widget is always the same. The movement range of the content is variable. When you move the widget the content should move (but more)

So how do you figure out the fomula to make the movement of the content relative in relation to the widget.

I've made a little diagram for y'all to look at to make it easier.

Clever Function Calling
Hi -

I have a movie with lots of movie clips that I want to make active. I can do it one at a time:

selectcrewBG.avail_crew_mc.availablecrew1.onReleas e = function() {
crew1();
}
selectcrewBG.avail_crew_mc.availablecrew2.onReleas e = function() {
crew2();
}

etc. But what I really want is one line that does everything in one go: then I can write just one function. Something like this:

selectcrewBG.avail_crew_mc.availablecrew[i].onRelease = function() {
crew(i);

But not sure exactly how to write this magic line... Any help aprreciated!

Thanks - Pete

Some People It Updates, Some People Not...
Hey guys -- mainly oldnewbie...I'm having a connection problem -- Heres my code so far...


//Create the LoadVars object and load data into it
ind = new Array();
name = new Array();
team = new Array();
hp = new Array();
ap = new Array();
x = new Array();
y = new Array();

ih = new String()
nh = new String()
th = new String()
hh = new String()
ah = new String()
xh = new String()
yh = new String()

nh = ""
th = ""
hah = ""
xyh = ""

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.load("http://68.59.134.62/live.php");
myData.onLoad = function(succes){
    for(var i=0; i<33; i++){
        ind = this["ind"+i];
        name = this["name"+i];
        team = this["team"+i];
        hp = this["hp"+i];
        ap = this["ap"+i];
        x = this["x"+i];
        y = this["y"+i];
        // A few traces to check...
        
        nh = nh + name + "<br>";
        th = th + team + "<br>";
        hah = hah + hp + ", " + ap + "<br>";
        xyh = xyh + x + ", " + y + "<br>";
        //trace("ind"+i+": "+ind);
        //trace("name"+i+": "+name);
        //trace("team"+i+": "+team);
        //trace("hp"+i+": "+hp);
    }
        NamesTxt.htmlText = nh;
        TeamsTxt.htmlText = th;
        hpapTxt.htmlText = hah;
        xyTxt.htmlText = xyh;

};
myData.unload
myData = null


Now, my problem, I have 2 layers, 1 with the actionscript in like 15 frames (not 15 keyframes), and the text boxes in a 2nd frame -- now the problem is...some people see it refresh, others dont.

What would be the best way to be refreshing this php in flash?? -- if the people go to live.php in IE -- and hit refresh, it takes no time at all to refresh all the data.

Why are some people not getting the refresh and others are?

Oldnewbie, if you want the files to look at email me at tktiger@tkwired.com -- I will send them to you...I need to have everyone that sees the flash document to be able to be getting these refreshed values pretty quickly.

Clever Buttons?
Hi,

I'm currently working on a flash gallery for some of my artwork and I wonder if it is possible to make the buttons remember that they were already visited/clicked with the following code?

on(release) {
load...
}

(this is the code that loads the movies...)

and then :

on(press){
this.gotoAndStop(DOWN)
}

the downstate of the button will be used to indicate if the link was already used or not!!!

Is this ok or are there better alternatives?

Looking For Some Clever Advice
Last edited by curtis10 : 2003-01-31 at 05:16.
























hiya

I'm looking to create an effect using actionscript but at the moment I'm not even sure of where to start as this is all rather new to me....

I shall explain what I am aiming to do....

I am trying to create a movie that responds to button/mc rollovers.

there are 4 buttons and 4 corresponding shapes. When the buttons are rolled over the shape shifts gently to the corresponding shape...when no buttons are rolled over the shape goes back to a default shape. The shape shifts need to be very responsive to the rollovers.

I think that what this requires is a shape that is defined by points with xy co-ordinates....the rollover states on the buttons send variables to these points and a movement script creates a smooth action (this bit I have).

Any advice would be extremely useful.

thanks

Clever Buttons
Ok, I'll try and explain this as simple as I can.

I've got a tall image with big vertical button areas stacked around. The image is bigger than the stage so you can scroll up and down to see the different buttons. The scroll is achieved with tweening which I learned from this webwasp tutorial

Anyways when you click on a button it could be anywhere on the screen (because of the scroll) however I want the animation that follows to occur when the button is in a specific place.

The logic that I thought of this working was - if the button is in the desired place at frame 10 -

if the currentframe < 10 then
play
else if the current frame > 10 then
playbackwards
else if the current frame = 10 then
go to "animationsequence"

I don't know if it's possible to translate this to actionscript (I'm pretty much a beginner - have more experience in lingo) or if this is a pretty dumb way of looking at it and there's a better solution.

I'm not really sure how to describe what I'm after so haven't had much success in looking around on the net for answers to this

thanks

One For The Really CLEVER Right Mouse Button

Sorry To Harp On About This. One For The Clever Gits.
Does anyone know a dynamic way to tell whether a Flash movie has been packaged as an EXE?

The problem being that I want to have a range of options for distribution of a product, and the EXE needs to behave differently to the SWF.

As they are identical in 99% of functionality, there is no point in having multiple versions of the Flash movie. I can't use a text-file parameter because both versions use the same data and media.

Thanks,

How To Recreate A Clever Effect...
Some days ago I came across a site that uses a menu very similar to the one I had in mind for my own site. The only problem is that my current knowledge of Flash MX is pretty basic- I hope that maybe some of you guys could explain me how to create something like this.

http://www.halolounge.com/

Are these just cleverly designed vector graphics made with MX?
I wasn´t able to find out how to add smooth borders to shapes- do I have to import those from freehand? I think Flash3 had some kind of smooth effect but I couldn´t find it in MX.

Thank you in advance

Clever Custom Cursor...
Hope someone can put me out of misery here.

I have attached a .zip file that contains the fla/swf/.as files that make my movie work. There are are two obstacle mc's and one cursor mc. The cursor mc stops at the border of the two obstacle mc's

Here is what I am trying to do - I need to make the cursor mc follow the irregular shaped borders of the obstacle mc's - at the moment the cursor mc stops at the border of the whole mc (bounding box of the clip) and doesn't follow the curves etc...

How do I change the code to recognise the irregular shapes? and also to follow the real cursor as it moves around inside the obstacle mc's?
This is the script that makes the cursor stop at the mc borders etc...


PHP Code:



class CursorManager
{
    private var obstacleList:Array;
    private var cursor:MovieClip;
    
    public function CursorManager(cursorClip:MovieClip)
    {
        cursor = cursorClip;
        obstacleList = new Array();
    }
    
    public function addObstacle(obstacle:MovieClip):Void
    {
        obstacleList.push(obstacle);
    }
    
    public function updateCursorPosition():Void
    {
        var mouseX:Number = _level0._xmouse;
        var mouseY:Number = _level0._ymouse;
        
        // Default to mouse position.
        cursor._x = mouseX;
        cursor._y = mouseY;
        
        // Move the cursor if it is inside an obstacle.
        for (var i:Number = 0; i < obstacleList.length; i++)
        {
            // Assumes that the obstacles are children of _level0.
            // Might need to use the Rectagle classes intersection function to
            // determine if the cursor is intersecting.
            if (obstacleList[i].hitTest(mouseX, mouseY))
            {
                moveCursorOutsideObstacle(obstacleList[i], mouseX, mouseY);
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    
    public function moveCursorOutsideObstacle(obstacle:MovieClip, mouseX:Number, mouseY:Number):Void
    {
        var xPos:Number = mouseX;
        var yPos:Number = mouseY;
        
        // Move towards the closest axis.
        var x1:Number = xPos - obstacle._x;
        var x2:Number = obstacle._x + obstacle._width - xPos;
        
        var y1:Number = yPos - obstacle._y;
        var y2:Number = obstacle._y + obstacle._height - yPos;
        
        var closestX:Number = Math.min(x1, x2);
        var closestY:Number = Math.min(y1, y2);
        
        if (closestX < closestY)
        {
            if (x1 < x2)
            {
                xPos = obstacle._x - cursor._width;
            }
            else
            {
                xPos = obstacle._x + obstacle._width;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (y1 < y2)
            {
                yPos = obstacle._y - cursor._width;
            }
            else
            {
                yPos = obstacle._y + obstacle._height;
            }
        }
        
        cursor._x = xPos;
        cursor._y = yPos;
    }
} 




Anyone able to help me out here please?

Need A Clever Way To Duplicate Sprites
I'm working with a Flash engine that dynamically loads assets from an external swf file. Getting the class names of these assets is kinda tricky.


ActionScript Code:
//Cell extends Sprite
//constructor parameters are Cell(Sprite, String)
var testCell:Cell = new Cell(AssetLib.Get( "SPR_CELL1" ), "A");

"AssetLib.Get" returns a new instance of "SPR_CELL1" as a Sprite. I'm making a few dozen of these Cells, so I'd rather not call "AssetLib.Get" repeatedly if I can afford to. The problem is that I currently need to because code like this is broken:


ActionScript Code:
var asset:Sprite = AssetLib.Get( "SPR_CELL1" );
var testCell:Cell = new Cell(asset, "A");
addChild(testCell);
testCell.setLetter("X");
testCell.x = 90;
testCell.y = 10;
var testCell2:Cell = new Cell(asset, "B");
testCell2.x = 70;
testCell2.y = 40;   
addChild(testCell2);

Only the second Cell's asset will be visible. I don't know exactly why, but it only happens when I pass the same Sprite instance to both Cells.

Is there any way to create unique Sprite instances without calling "AssetLib.Get" every time?

Are U Clever Enough To Help Me...provre Urself The Smartest
Hi

I'm need some help on this one. I am using the following code to load up sub menus from a html text file attached to a button, but I also want to link the sub menu's to individual movie files.

So any ideas on how I do this?

This is the code I am using to get my sub menus from a notepad text file:



var menuVisible;

subMenuItem._visible = 0;


function theMenu (n) {



var newY = 10;

for (var i=0; i<n; i++) {

duplicateMovieClip ("subMenuItem", "select"+i, i);

this["select"+i]._y = newY;

this["select"+i]._visible = 0;

this["select"+i].selectText = _parent.subMenu[i];



newY = newY+20;

}

}


function subMenuVis (b) {

for (i=0; i<_parent.subMenu.length; i++) {

this["select"+i]._visible = b;

}

}



What I don’t know is where to place the code for loading a movie and how to get the submenu buttons to activate the movie/image files for each button whether there be 1 of 10 of them.

Can anyone help me out on this as it is becoming a right mare!!

Flash And Asp...serious Help From A Clever Person Needed
Hi
I am sort of new to flash and I have a problem .....(with ASP that is) ....I have never used it before, so I need someone to point me in the right direction.I have googled it, but I am on a tight schedule, so I am looking for info in as many places as I can. There is this ASP site that has a menu with 5 buttons. Also there is a separate flash banner with 5 images ......how would i have the 2 interact with each other. The banner also has to display a relevent text output once the button is clicked.

I know I would use the loadVars to load the info into the out put text file, but how does flash read a ASP file.....its it the same concept as reading a textfile with the &var1=varinfo1.

next question, how would flash know which image to display, would I have to have a timeline loop reading say frame2 to see if a variable has changed.

scenario: So if the ABOUT button is clicked, then flash would play the 1st image with ABOUT displayed in it and so for the second button.

Thanks in advance for your help

Safari Being To Clever For It's Own Poncy Good
Hey all

I've made this site for a photographer friend of mine.

http://www.grischek.com/

I've run into a slight snag though. On firefox or ie when you click on a photo it opens up to a larger version in a new browser window. However in safari it opens in the same window(apparently, I haven't got a mac) and then you lose contact with the site.

I'm using getUrl to do my bidding on this one. Anyone know a workaround?

Clever Simple Menu For Folio
I'm trying to extend my actionscripting skills and have found an elegant menu system that I'd like to learn how to do:

http://iso50.com/iso50.html

What I'd like to know if anyone can help me is how to get the boxes to load and unload for each section.

Also, when you click on one of the boxes the the thumbnail decreases in size whilst the image appears.

I can work out how to do all of this in a very manual way, but I'd like to learn how to do it neatly using actionscript. Does anyone know of any online tutorials or files I could deconstruct that work in a similar way?

Load / Unload; The Clever Bits...
Hi all

Ok i have a question. Im looking into how you would control how and when movie clips load and unload and the transitions called in between from menu buttons etc.

The website below shows pretty much what I'm trying to achieve menu and clip transition-wise. it understands your in a certain menu item and exits accordingly when you select another.

I'm no flash as guru but i do understand the load and unload procedure, just not the clever stuff surrounding, it so pointers on how this can be done would be appreciated big time.

No Clever Catchy Title/passing Variables?
I set up an example of my problem.

PHP Code:

    _root[savePath] = editNews.text; //is not replacing the nodeValue with editNews.text
}; 




The problem is, the first replacement action works, the second one doesn't. What I'm trying to figure out is, why?
And how, if possible, can I get the latter working?

Thanks a lot,

Any Tips On Clever Ways To Load And Handle External Movies?
Hi

I want to load about 50 external movies into the main movie, and do various things with them, like:

- attach them to other movieclips
- manipulate them with Actionscript
- use, remove and re-use them

I want to do these things at various points, not just onLoad. I want to load them in the background while the user is playing with other things.

In otherwords, I want to load them, and them treat them like they are symbols in the library.

Is this possible? How should I store the loaded movies before I use them? I keep getting into problems when I try and do anything smart with these loaded movies. I don't want to publish these 50 movies in the main movie's library, because it would increase the initial load time too much, and because I want to use the same movies for various projects.

Any ideas really appreciated...

I'm using Flash MX.

Thanks

Help Clever Person Needed. Button/Dynamic Text Problem
I can't get code in my button to change the values displayed in my dynamic text boxes.

I have a column of twelve dynamic text boxes which display numbers stored in an array. The array contains more than twelve numbers. I want to use buttons to refresh the information in the boxes (effectively creating a scrolling effect) so that the remaining contents of the array can be revealed as required. In the code below Stats1 etc. refer to the dynamic text. The array is called Stats4display. This shows the information fine.

Stat1=Stats4display[x];
Stat2=Stats4display[(x+1)];
Stat3=Stats4display[(x+2)];
Stat4=Stats4display[(x+3)];
Stat5=Stats4display[(x+4)];
Stat6=Stats4display[(x+5)];
Stat7=Stats4display[(x+6)];
Stat8=Stats4display[(x+7)];
Stat9=Stats4display[(x+8)];
Stat10=Stats4display[(x+9)];
Stat11=Stats4display[(x+10)];
Stat12=Stats4display[(x+11)];
Stat13=Stats4display[(x+12)];

The button (in the same timeline on a different layer) has this code:
on (release) {
x++;
}

I had hoped that by incrementing the value of x I could update all the dynamic text boxes with the next value along in the array. Why doesn't this work? Some kind of scoping problem? Or is there an easier way to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Calling A Function, External To The Calling Class
hello to everyone, who looks at this post
So there's a class, that needs to call/access an external function.
'External' (imho) in this case would be any function, declared outside of the class.
How is it possible to:
1) call a function declared in the main timeline.
2) call a function in another class (i suppose, the only way of doing it is by importing the class having this function into the calling class?)

Hey there fellow actionscripters,

Is anybody here who can help on this, actually im creating a trivia game wherein i use randomized number to randomize the questions. But i need a script which will filter or disable numbers which has been generated before.

If ever you have any samples which you can show me, thanx.

Do You People Even K Now?
Do you people even know what I am talking about with my flash movie file?

I altered the code I had before to:

on (release) {
if (MYvar == ya) {
stopAllSounds ();
MYvar = na;
} else {
gotoAndPlay (1);
MYvar = ya;
}
}

but for some reason it still doesn't work...

on the main timeline I have 1 frame... Then on the movie timeline I have one frame.. So.. the gotoAndPlay is calling the frame from the main timeline...

Can someone please Help me???

- Thanks in Advance..

I Eat People
Hopefully my stupid subject got some attention.

Is there any way to use the _loadmovienum so that MC's will always load on top of themselves, while the current mc stays in the background. I have 6 MC representing different pages, and when a new MC is loaded I want the current MC to stay in the background until the new preloader is done.

Any ideas?

I Wonder If You People Can Help.
Hi folks, i wonder if you people can help.

This could be a easy question but it's a swine for me.
Background:- Set a variable called -Key- to False. If you pick a key up then the variable -Key- will then be set to True.
If you try to enter a door and the -Key- is true then you my open the door.

How do you set a Variable as i've tried with no luck and could you tell me an If statment saying if -Key- =True then goto and play ?.

Thanks for reading this and your help...
