Converting To Button...
I'm having some weird issues when I have an imported bitmap that I convert to a button it distorts the image for some reason. Sometimes when I change the y (length) of the button to 1 pixel larger it will clear it up. I made sure my buttons are on whole integers. Any ideas?

Help Converting A Movie Into A Button
I created a movie, over several layers and would like to allow the user to click the flash animation, it plays, and then directs the user to a website.
So what happens is, when the user views the frontpage of the website, they see the Flash Movie (stopped) click it, (it plays) and then after it has played the user is directed to the website (via a URL).
Right now I have the animation working as a button, it plays continually and you can click it to open the website in a new window but I'd like the animation to only play once clicked.
Thanks for the help, I hope there is an easy solution.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Button Functionality Lost In Converting To AS2
I have a series of buttons, grouped within a parent Movie clip. Each individual button has a MC of its own, and the button sits inside that second MC. The event handlers are attached to each button.
Since converting the code to Player 7/AS2 I have lost the button functionalityand can't seem to figure out why.
Any suggestions?
Converting A Loaded Textfield To A Button
Hi,
I am loading tekst into an MC like this, and it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();loadText.onLoad = function(success) {if (success) {tekstMC.nieuwstekst.html = true;tekstMC.nieuwstekst.htmlText = this.tekst;tekstMC.nieuwstekst.autoSize = true;}};loadText.load("nieuwstekst.txt");
Now I want to convert the MC to a button, an I tried this:
ActionScript Code:
loadText = new LoadVars();loadText.onLoad = function(success) {if (success) {button.tekstMC.nieuwstekst.html = true;button.tekstMC.nieuwstekst.htmlText = this.tekst;button.tekstMC.nieuwstekst.autoSize = true;}};loadText.load("nieuwstekst.txt");
But now the text doesn't show anymore.
It also happens when I directly convert the textfield to a button.
I wonder if it is possible to convert it to a button, still showing the text?
I really wouldn't want to make seperate buttons.
Thank you very much again,
Jerryj
Problem When Converting Image To Button
Hi
I have the following problem:
When I import a jpg or bmp image and then convert it to a button symbol, the image is stretched a tiny bit, which adds some ugly notches to the image.
It's not visible until I test or export the movie.
It's not all images which act this way.
Also it's only visible when the desktop is set to display less than 32 bit colours (no problems in 32 bit!)
I've accessed my movie from other PCs, but the problem is exactly the same: Nothces in 24/16 bit, no problems in 32 bit.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks

Converting A PDF To A Flash FLA File Without Converting To An Image First?
Basically, I'm building a digital catalogue that runs off a CD and uses a Flash 'page turning component' to display the pages. Certain pages will have links that use Flash's Fscommand call to open Word and Excel documents.
Has anyone got any bright ideas of how to Convert a PDF to a Flash FLA file without converting to an image first?
I know I can open a PDF in Photoshop, save as a PNG or JPG and then import this into Flash, however the quality isn't brilliant. If you use a hi-res image, then you get a hi-res file size...
Currently, the best way I have found, is to open the PDF in Illustrator, then export it as a SWF. Illustrator converts all text to shapes and you end up with a small SWF, yet great quality when displayed in larger sizes. As I'm currently using a page turning flash component that loads SWF files, I need the quality to be good for the 'Zoom' function.
I've found an Illustrator script that will do the hard work via a 'batch' process, so I can take a 100 page PDF and convert the whole lot to 100 SWF files while I drink tea and 'look busy' and read a magazine, but the problem I have is that I need to add a layer of buttons to several of the SWF files to add a little functionality....
I do have a SWF to FLA decompiler which does a good job, however because Illustrator turns everything into shapes, the decompiler does the same and you end up with thousands of files in the library.... Plus there are a lot of error messages when the file is first loaded...
Many layers are masked, (for some reason without a fill), so if you publish the decompiled file straight away, you just get a blank file. Once you go through and fill the masks needed, it shows when you publish, but this really is a lot of work and I've had a few pages that show when you open the SWF file, but don't show when the SWF is called into the page turning file.... Hmmm....
So in short, I'd like to take a PDF and convert it to a FLA file, add a layer of buttons and publish as a SWF file....
Anyone got any 'Pearls of Wisdom'?

could anybody convert this matlab script into actionscript
im only interested in converting kp to Q
% function to convert a given value of value of Q to Kp or vice versa
%
% function out=q_to_kp(in,index)
%
% Inputs:
%
% in: scalar or vector value of either Q or Kp
% index: String that determines whether in is Q or Kp i.e.
% index="q' or index="kp"
%
% This function uses the simple formula for converting between Q and
% Kp indices. By varying the input string the formula will work backwards
% such that Kp is calculated by Q.
function out=q_to_kp(in, index)
out=repmat(nan,size(in)); % pre-allocate output file
% check the string to see which inex is the input
if strcmp(index,'q'); % compare strings for Q input
for n=1:length(in);
if in(n)==1, out(n)=0; % if Q=1 set Kp to zero
elseif in(n)<0; % test for a negative input and display error
disp('error: Q index cannot be negative!');
out(n)=nan;
else out(n)=in(n)-2; % for any other value of Q get appropriate
Kp
end
end
elseif strcmp(index,'kp'); % compare strings for Kp input
for n=1:length(in);
if in(==0, out=1; % if Kp is zero set Q=1
elseif in(<0; % test for negative input and display error
disp('error: Kp index cannot be negative!');
out(n)=nan; % substitute NaN for the negative values
else out(n)=in(n)+2; % for any other value of Kp get appropriate Q
end
end
else % in case of other string inputs display error
disp('error: string input must be "q" or "kp"');

Help Converting AS 1 To 2
I need some help converting an AS 1 file to AS 2. It's a preloader script that I got from a tutorial here at FK. I've never tried converting AS 1 to 2 before and after a little bit of trial I found it's a little more difficult than expected. I would appreciate anyone's help on this. I've included my original AS code and not my screwed up attempt. Thanks everyone for any advice or help.
code:
onClipEvent(load) {
_root.stop();
dO = 3.6;
r = 90;
function addslice(O) {
x1 = r*Math.sin(O*Math.PI/180);
x2 = r*Math.sin((O+dO)*Math.PI/180);
y1 = r*Math.cos((O)*Math.PI/180);
y2 = r*Math.cos((O+dO)*Math.PI/180);
with (_root.mask) {
moveTo(0, 0);
beginFill(0x000088);
lineTo(x1, y1);
lineTo(x2, y2);
endFill();
}
}
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("mask", 0);
this.setMask(_root.mask);
_root.mask._yscale = -100;
_root.mask._x = this._x;
_root.mask._y = this._y;
oldLoaded = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
loaded = Math.ceil(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100);
for (i=oldLoaded; i<loaded; i++) {
addSlice(dO*i);
}
if(loaded == 100) {

delete this.onEnterFrame;

Converting .swf To .fla
My computer crashed and I lost my original file. I have the .swf file on hand on my web server. I read on here once that there was a program that will convert the files over. Anyone know of any? Also, is it very reliable. I can probably just redo the entire thing but that will require setting up all the images and stuff again and I want it to be an exact reprint. I can't afford to have anything different on the new copy cause it is for a client website that is already in use. Basically there was a change in one of the links that I need to fix.

Converting To FLV? How, And Is It Necessary?...
How do you (or is there a good/easy tutorial to) convert movie files (.MOV, .WMA, etc) to .FLV format (I'm using Flash MX 2004)? Do I need to buy an outside software package like Sorenson Squeeze or FLIX or something?....
Also, is it necessary to even convert them if what I'm going to be doing is playing them online (based off of the tutorials at gotoandlearn.com )? What's the benefits/advantages to converting them to .FLVs, versus just calling the .MOV file? I'd prefer the media to stream, cuz the movies are like 3-4 minutes long each that I will be doing...
Thanks!...
