Do You Remember This Site?
Hi all,

Long Long time ago, I remember coming across a nice site that has lots of open source isometric actionscripts which allows users to freely download the flas to explore and learn. The site is own by a designer/actionscriptor. Does anyone remember the url of this site?

I know the description is vague but I believe probably someone out there will remember a good site like this.

Awaiting in anticipation, thanks

Does Anyone Remember This Site From About A Year Ago?
Hi everyone, I recently lost my bookmarks and can't recall where this site was. Anyways here is a brief decription:

The site was a flash animation and there was a flower I think it was a dandelion and the little white pods were blowing off the flower. After awhile the flower respanned all the little white pods and restarted.

Here is a still of what it kinda looked like...

Can Anyone Remember Where 2advanced Old Site?
Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows a location that shows the old 2advanced website design?!?

Resizing The Stage, Can't Remember The Site...
Okay, it's probably been a year since I saw this website, but it was really cool and I need to find it. The site was kinda pink and it had a big white star in the middle. The cool thing about the site was that when you resized the browser window, it resized the flash movie, but did not scale any of the elements. The site listed a bunch of flash components, similar to what flashcomponents.net does. Does anyone remember the site or where to find the technique for doing that?

Thanks guys, my old age is getting to me...

Getting Flash To Remember
hello, I have a problem using action scripting and menus.
Im pretty new to flash and my programming skills are very
dire so you may even suggest a different way of doing things
but here is my problem:

Im doing a menu system which consists of 10 menu options,
each menu option contains different content, therefore each
of the 10 menu windows which hold the content are different
sizes.

Now ive built a nice little animation for when each of the
windows appear (i.e. spinning & fading in) and when you
click a different menu option, a corresponding animation is
supposed to fade the current window out and then remember
the option you previously just clicked and then jump to
that frame which will then animate that window for the
option you just clicked.

my problem is getting Flash to remember which menu its
currently residing at (so that it can perform the custom
fade out for that particular window) and then goto and
perform the animation for the menu option that I have just
clicked.

all the animations are built, its just a case of getting
Flash to remember what I clicked on, fade the current
window out and then goto the menu which i just clicked on.

Ive tried (in vain) using action scripting on the buttons
and within the movie by using values within variables and
then changing them whenever the frame hits something
different but its just not working.

I hope for my sake that I havent confused you because its
not as hard as it sounds (im just too dumb to know how to
fix it ;-)

If I can be any clearer, please say so.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Get Flash To Remember A Name
Right, I'm working on a presentation that utilises user input. I've searched the boards already and not got anywhere.

The main problem I have is that, once a user has submitted their name, flash can only reference the information within that scene.

I my first scene I have an input box that requests for the user's name - the idea is that throughout their involvement with the presentation, the flash file calls them by whatever name they submit. A simple enough concept, I think you'll agree.

I have the input text box in a movie clip and am calling the information from a dynamic text box elsewhere in the swf. Say the dynamic box that references the submitted text has the var name 'text', my code looks something like this:


Code:
text = "Hello"+_root.mc.name+", how are you today?;


where 'name' is the var name of the input field.

This works fine and dandy for the first scene, but I cannot get it to work once the swf progresses.

Can anyone help?!

Can't Remember How To Do This In Flash 5...
I've forgotten how to make a dynamic textbox fade out programatically in Flash5...

I'm actually using FlashMX but this one has to be in flash5 mode

Help meeee!!!!!!

Flash Shared Object Remember Me Box
Hi - I have a working shared object. The visitor types a password into an input text field and hits go. The next time they go to the log-in it pulls the shared object out and prepopulates the input text field.

My question is...

How can I add a "checkbox" (Remember Me) option to the process. I'd like the visitor to have the option of whether or not they want to be remembered.

My current code looks like this:

On frame 1 Actions Keyfame:

pw_babytalk = SharedObject.getLocal('babytalk');
if (pw_babytalk.data.pword != undefined) {
password_txt.text = pw_babytalk.data.pword;
}
stop();

Flash Doesn't Remember Dimensions
Have any of you figured out a way to make Flash MX remember the width of the leftmost panel (names of layers) in the timeline, as well as the height of the timeline "component"?

Everytime I restart Flash MX, it resets it back and the layer name area is not wide enough again and not enough layers are viewable to my liking. Is there a way around this? Registry Fix or something?

Flash Program. Remember My Palette Locations
Can someone clue me in as to how to get FlashMX to remember that I want my library palette docked along the right side of the screen EVERYTIME I open the program!!!

I thought that when you quit the program it was supposed to remember your palette locations. It doesn't.

Flash Doesn't Remember Instance Names
Hey. I have a somewhat complicated movieclip structure as defined below:

Code:
main_menu
{
menu_item
{
button
{
txtLabel
}
}
}
I am duplicating menu_item inside main_menu to create multiple menu_items. I have given the button instance the name of btnSubmenuItem, and I have given the Label the name of txtLabel. After I duplicate, I see the new menu_item with the new name I give it, but I cannot change the text of txtLabel, because btnSubmenuItem and txtLabel recieve names such as instanceXX. Shouldnt I be able to write this:

_level0.main_menu.menu_item1.btnSubmenuItem.txtLab el.text = "blah";

That does not work. How do I fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can Flash Remember Tween Html Pages?
Hi folks, I've been looking and have not found any examples or tutorials on this, so if anyone has ideas, or pointers I'd appreciate it much!

I have some html pages that I wish to embed a flash movie into. The flash part is for navigation, and I have no trouble getting the pages to load from flash links. The problem is that I want the movie to remember WHERE IT IS when I load different pages (without using frames).

For example, my nav has some primary buttons, when you click 'Button A' more secondary buttons slide in. When the user clicks one of these secondary buttons I want load a different html page, but I'd like the page to load with the flash menu still showing the secondary buttons, not just starting over wih the primary ones.

Any suggestions on ways to do this? Do I pass a variable in the url? Can it only be done with frames? My guess is that its more action sripting than I can handle at this point, but I'm looking to learn if some one has an idea!

Another simpler version of the problem would be a 'tab' interface where, when you are 'ON' a certain page, its tab is more highlighted. So the movie has to 'know' which tab is currently 'on'....

any help is groovy! thnx.

Flash, Be A Good Program And REMEMBER MY %*^$# Variables
Hi, I'm trying to get Flash to lose its variable amnesia. I'll set a variable with variable = value in one scene, and it will execute its task reliably (in this case, setting visibility of a movie clip). Then I transfer to another scene, come back, and the variable is undefined again. I'm not declaring them with var, or I'd know what the problem is.

The file in question is attached.

Flash Form - Remember Email Address
I have a flash login form which is sat in a .asp page.

So far it is working in every sense, except there is just one small thing which i'd like to add...

At the moment, if the user tries to log in with their email address, but doesn't type a password, the page reloads and and the flash reads a query string to display as an error message along with the form for the user to re-enter their details.

What i'd like is for the email address to still be displayed when the page is reloaded so that the user doesn't have to re-enter everything each time they get one part of the form right.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks

[Flash 8] Making Buttons Remember After They Have Been Clicked...
Hello!
I am trying to make my buttons do this (<-- Link). What I can't figure out is how to make the button stay red after the user clicks it and then go back to white when the user click on another button. Here is my file (<-- Link) so far. and here is my Code:


Code:
var fade = false;
var depth = 1000;
var buttonNames = new Array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5");

for (var x = 0; x < buttonNames.length; x++) {
var newButton = this.attachMovie("theButton", "button" + x, depth++);
newButton._x = 35;
newButton._y = 35 + ((newButton._height + 17) * x);

newButton.text_mc.dynamic_txt.text = buttonNames[x];



newButton.onRollOver = function() { fade = true; }
newButton.onRollOut = function() { fade = false; }
Inside the newButton movie clip is this code:

Code:
stop();

var fade = false;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (fade == true) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}

}

this.onRollOver = function() { fade = true; }
this.onRollOut = function() { fade = false; }
So if anyone can help me figure out how to make the code remember what button you are on (such as the .swf in the first link) that would be awesome. Thanks!

Can Flash Remember Which External Picture Was Already Loaded
Hi!

Can Flash remember which external picture or external MovieClip was already loaded-downloaded, so it wouldn't be downloading it again. Maybe store it in some cache or something.

Example:
If user pres a "thumbnail picture button1", the "large picture1" is loaded.
Then the user presses "thumbnail picture button2", the "large picture2" is loaded. So far so good.

Now what I'm interested in is:
If the user presses again "thumbnail picture button1", the "large picture1" should be loaded immediately, without downloading it.

Thanks, Mario :)

Can Flash Remember A Previous Choice By The User?
My problem is this: I have 5 options for the user to choose from. They pick an option, and all of those options do the same animation (a box shoots up and expands into a bigger box which will contain text and pictures). However, the box will contain different data depending on which of the 5 options is chosen. What is the best way to do this? I'm no expert by any means and this is probably easy.

The first thing that comes to my mind is as the box shoots up and expands and then it comes time for the pictures and text to appear, is there a way for flash to remember which of those 5 options was originally picked and display the appropriate title and pictures? I hope I explained this clear enough for you guys. Keep in mind. I am very much a noob. I just started using Macromedia Flash 8 about 5-6 days ago. I've come quite a long ways (I think) in those 5 days though. Look below what for I've got so far, and the issue I am referring to.

Note: If you want to see exactly what I am referring to, view this page and go to Bermuda Borders >> Stamping. You'll see the 5 choices I am referring to. Pick 1 and see what I mean by showing the right title page for each option.

[CS3] Making A Flash Menu Remember Page Selected
Hi all,
I have a flash menu that I would like to use. The problem is that the menu animations work fine, but there is nothing to show the user which page they are currently on. eg I want when a user selects 'contact' for example for the contacts index link to be highlighted until they leave that page and so on so the menu gives user an indication of where they are on the site. Any advice would be really helpful.

I've uploaded the FLA if thats any help.

Many thanks for your time.

Flash 8 On XP, Flash Can't Remember Its Settings?
I have a strange problem.. flash runs perfectly fine, untill I quit the program, and it forgets its settings. Also, I get the "cannot find toplevel.as" error. I'm not sure which toplevel.as it's looking at, but it looks like flash cannot access my local settings folder.. or something. Has anyone had similar problems?

And the strangest part is, if I create a new user and run flash using that user, then everything runs perfectly fine.

Tween Class Help - (from Tutorial On This Site)
Hi,

I was doing a tutorial from this website... the one on the tween class... I am trying to learn it...

So I downloaded the example... I was trying to add some of my own code and it is not working as I expected. I was wondering if anyone had any insight into this...

the code:

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(frame1, "_x", Regular.easeOut, -150, Stage.width / -13, 1, true);
var yPosT:Tween = new Tween(frame1, "_y", Regular.easeOut, -600, Stage.height / -62, 1, true);
xPosT.onMotionFinished = function() {
this.continueTo(Stage.width / -13, 1);
};
yPosT.onMotionFinished = function() {
this.continueTo(Stage.width / -62, 1);
};



My movie clip is called "frame one"
The tweening works fine along the x axis... which is what was on the tutorial... the movie clip does not stop where I want it along the _y axis...
I want it to stop at -62 (this is because the graphic is slightly larger than the movie itself)

Instead of stopping at -62 along the y axis, it keeps going from -300 to 0 on the y axis...

does anyone know how this works?
many thanks

Site With Easing Tween Class Download. Know One?
A while back (like 6 months). I came a crossed a site that had an easing tween class. Worked great for me, much better than the macromedia one. Now I can’t find it. Sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question. But does anyone know of a site that might have one?

Componant, Class Or MovieClip - Structuring A Site
Hi all,

I'm building an all Flash site, and trying to streamline my approach as much as possible. In the site, I have 3 main panes. Navigation, ContentText, and Slideshow.

I want to keep each of these areas self contained, and just call methods to make things happen. Something along these lines: slideshow.showImage, or navigation.loadData("nav.xml") or contentText.loadTextfile("about.txt").

I could make each pane a componant, or a movieClip with methods defined on the first frame, or perhaps I could use classes.

I was hoping the more experienced people here might have some advice on what is the best approach to take.

Thanks

Can You Post A Working File.Reference Class Site?
I have code a site that works with FileReference, but not on all computers.

I would like my client to be able to go to another site that uses this code to DOWNLOAD..not upload...and see if that site works for him or not?

So any online swf file that uses the FileReference Class to download something would be greatly appreciated.

From Flash 5 To Flash 4 - Can Anyone Remember?
Hi,

this might be a bit silly but I would like to know
how can this script work in Flash 4

'this' only works for flash 5, mx:


elURL = (this._url == "http://www.url.myflash.swf");

if (!elURL) {
this.stop();
}

Anyone remembers how it works for Flash version 4?

Thanks to all,

[Flash 8] Referencing Class Variables From OnEnterFrame Created Within Class
Hi,
It's been a while since my last post here, but I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm having. I want to reference and change a class variable from within an onEnterframe function defined within a class. I can actually do this right now, but I want to do it in a different way. Here's a code sample of what I am talking about:


Test.fla file:

Code:
var t:tester = new tester()

Working tester.as file:


Code:
class tester{
private var num:Number = 100;

function tester(){
var classObj:tester = this;
var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("test",1);
mc.onEnterFrame = function(){
trace(classObj.num); //This traces 100 (CORRECT!!!)
}
}
}
This traces 100 to the output window, just like it should

Here is the way that I would like to do it, because I want to reuse my onEnterFrame Stuff:

Code:
class tester{
private var num:Number = 100;

function tester(){
var classObj:tester = this;
var mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("test",1);
mc.onEnterFrame = this.mcOnEnterFrame;
}

private function mcOnEnterFrame(){
trace(num) //this traces undefined (BAD!!!)
}
}

As you can see, the work around to reading the class variable in the onEnterFrame function is to create a reference to the class object, before defining that function, then using the reference you created to access the class variables.

I have tried various iterations to get the second example working, but have had no luck. Does anyone know a way to get the second method working, or am I stuck using the first method.

Help Finishing Up My First Flash Site - Using Navigation To Display Different Sections Of The Site?
Thanks for looking! i am making my first flash site, and im not sure what to do next in regards to navigating through the site. I have different sections, home, info, hardware, equipment, etc, but im not sure how to make each section appear when you click the corresponding navigation link. i have an idea but im not sure how to execute it.

Should i make a movie clip for each section (home, info, hardware, contact), then place each movie clip in its own frame on the main time line, and on each navigation link button (each one is a movie clip) use action script and put a gotoAndPlay() code with the frame number of the corresponding section? so when you click it, it goes to that frame which has the movie clip that has the content for that part of site, say contact, or info?? if so how can i do this?

that sounds really confusing and im sorry but please help out a beginner! Thank you and happy halloween!

Need To Retrieve Site URL (http Referrer) Of The Site My Flash Player Is Placed On
Hello All,

I am trying to implement a custom flash player where my embedded source code (<OBJECT></OBJECT>) can be placed on various websites. I would like to gather some information of the users who are using my flash player on their site. I wrote the following code inside the flash player to gather the site URL (http referrer) so I can send this piece of information back to my server.

javascript: if(null != document.all) {
window.document['adbVcmAd'].Movie += ('&site_url='+encodeURIComponent(document.URL));
}
else {
window.document['adbVcmAd'].setAttribute('src', window.document['adbVcmAd'].getAttribute('src')+'&site_url='+encodeURIComponent(document.URL));
}
void(0);

var sl = _root.site_url;

I am able to get the site URL in IE, but I cannot get the site URL from users using Fire Fox.

If anyone has any ideas, please post a reply or send me an email.

Much Appreciated!

I Just Cant Remember Where I Saw That...
hi guys,

hope i am in the correct forum.

i remember seeing a code snippet someplace (yes, yes i should have copied it down) about how to position a movieclip. it was something like

(first frame of clip)
this.level._x=100
this.level._y=100

anyone ever seen this as a method of placing a mc on the stage?
or anyone have a simple way to do it? i can do the mc in a container thing but i want to load several movies in different places and there must be a simpler way than generating several containers!

thanx in advance

Does Anyone Remember This?
Does anyone here remember the example that was on FlashKit a few months ago where there was an html page with a table that had 3 cells. Cell 1 had an swf movie in it, Cell 2 had some instrucions about clicking buttons, and Cell 3 had another swf movie.
What the example was showing was that when you clicked a button in the first swf, it would control an action in the second swf. The second swf could also control the first.
If ANYONE could remember the link to this I would be VERY grateful.
Please help if you can.

Thanks for you time.

Remember Remember
Hello,
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a button remember that it has been pressed?

ie: when it's been pressed once and performed it's fuction, it won't do it again if pressed?

Thanks.

Does Anybody Remember...
There was a banner here about a week ago advertising "Robo..something" (can't remember the actual name). It was a software to perform video-type screen captures and export them to swf and it had a link to download a demo.

Does anybody remember the name of that software, or a link to its website.

thanks

Is it possible to add some scripting to a flash movie to do the following:

On the end users first visit the movie asks the user to enter a name, then on every following visit it remembers the name and greets the user with 'good afternoon bob' or something similar.

Does anyone have any script that could do this please?

Remember Name - How?
Hi All
how can I set up my website so that when a new visitor arrives they are asked for their name and then when they return they are greeted with something like "Hi Bob" or whatever their name is?

Anyone know the easiest way this can be done?

Do Any Of You Remember?
I want to load and then play external sound files from a button on flash MX, and maybe with a loading status bar..

im sure i've seen threads about it in the recent past, but i cant find them, and i've used the search function but im not having luck that way, can anyone point me to those threads/tutorials/tell me how to doi it?

Seen This Somewhere - Can Anyone Help Me Remember Where?
It was a Flash application, pretty impressive that allowed you to design every aspect of a business card.

I cant remember where I saw it, I have searched on FK, I dont know if it was an actual company running it or if it was like a concept piece to demonstrate flash???

Anyone know what Im harping on about??

thanks

Anyone Remember?
hey everyone, just wondering if anyone remembers seeing an effect posted on FK in zip format. It was an image burn effect done in flash with some code. I thought it was nevil who posted it but he said it wasnt him. Does anyone remember seeing this effect posted?

thanx

A site that was everywhere a couple of years ago because it used a really clever masking technique between pages? I know it's a long shot but I'm trying to find it with little joy... It kind of used overlapping/zoom/mask when you rolled the mouse over?

Or any others that do a similar thing?

RE: Anyone Remember?
This is in the wrong place, sorry! ....

Hi there.

Try the Levis Site

It has a cool mask feature.

Cant Remember ?
Hi

This is a bit of an odd question but does anyone out there type Actoinscript at 100 words per minute knowing all the code.

Because I have been leaning actionscript now for over one and a half years now and I still have to refer to books for code snippets, is it just me or has the alcohol taken its toll.

Seen A Fla Somewhere, Cant Remember Where......
I remember seeing a fla on one of these clever flash experimentalist sites, but I cannot find it again.

It involved a stream of words zooming towards you from the distance, and you could click them which zoomed you forwards in a slightly different direction, but the words kept coming at you indefinately.

Does anyone know it?

Thanks

I cant really remember how long ago it was, but there was a guy here on the flash forums that was a kick ass RPG game character designer and animater. What he made wasnt really sprites, they were actually his artwork in flash but looked a little like game sprites.
He had a site or at least had his stuff hosted and he had several different game character animations that he had made that was REALLY good. He basically had a character sheet that he made in flash and you would click the character and it would go thru its animations.
I cannot remember his name or his site to save my life. Does anyone remember this guy? I think it was about 2 years ago when I saw his animations.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS..Im going to post this in the art section too because I cant remember if i saw it there or here.

Swf's That Remember?
Hi,

Probably a stupid question but is it possible to get a swf file to remember user imput and then recall it for the next time the swf is reloaded? ie the users name,age,address etc plus a background jpg that could be externally loaded?
This is not for a website however just a standard swf running on a persons machine.

Thanks

What's the line of code for disabling the mouse cursor (hand) when you move the cursor over a button?

I forgot, and since I'm using MX at work and I have MX 2004 files that do have that line of code in it (that I made from home), I can't take a look.

I Think I Remember...
Flash having features for customizing variables/data of a without actually altering the swf. Flash pulling variables out off of it's html page from within it's object tag?

It was like four years ago or so and I was using flash 5. Am I like hallucinating.... Or was there a .swg format or something?
