Hi, I have an swf which I'm importing. I think it was originally made with generator (maybe).

Anyway, when it imports there are 500 bitmaps in the library and 500 symbols.

The symbols are then on the root timeline, but without the bitmaps in them.

If you go into each symbol and put the correct bitmap in - everything is cool.

What's going wrong...

Can An .as Expert Please HELP
I'm working on the scroller and I need to make the bar underneath the handle work more like the scroll bar on a web browser. How can I add functionality so that if the user clicks on the bar the handle will jump to that position and of course the masked movie that the scrollbar controls would follow.

Ideally I would like the handle to ease into position rather than just jump to the new _y position but any help you can give would be great.

Take a look here:

I Need An Expert To Help Me
ok here's my problem... I been struggeling to get this to work but i can't succeed
i need a genius

i inserted a fla to make it more clear

here are my problems:

1.i have 2 comboboxes with both four names in it and in the middle a input textfield. What
i want is that when a name is filled in and enter is given
the name will be added to both comboboxes... but how ?!?

2. when name is selected in combobox on the left side it should appear in textbox below (player1) and load a default score of '0'from
a file with the SharedObjects option and show this in the oldscore text field.

3.below that i can fill in 3 scores. What i want is that when all scores are filled in it will give me the
'new score' in the new score textfield and then save it with the choosen player
so when i play movie next time and choose that player again it retrieves the updated score.

example: ron's old score = 0
score1=20
score2=25
score3=17

new score=62

adjusting the oldscore to the newone and saving it so next time i play movie it showes 62 for ron's score
4.last thing i tried to achieve was when pressing the 'reset player score' it would set the score of choosen player back to '0'
and update the oldscore to '0' and saves it.

4.edit(tab problem i fixed)

I know this is a lot to ask but i have spend days of reading, reading and trying but i got no clue ((

can someone please help me)

Need An Expert
I need a Flash app created for my web site, but I recently went to someone to have it created and they wanted to charge $8,950.

In some ways it seems like it would be very simple, yet I can see how it COULD be complex to create.

I have a site ( FlashingLogo.com ) on which I sell customized flashing lapel pins. I need a way for customers to be able to upload their logo, have the app make it fit into a pre-determined size/space. The customer would then be able to drag (from different colored boxes at the bottom or side of the app window) blinking lights out onto their logo in any position they choose.

The boxes would have a light of one color in each. A blue box with a blue light, a green box with a green light, etc...

The customer would then be able to upload the finished image ( preferably as an animated gif) which I would then use to create the finished product.

Are there any existing apps that can be slightly modified to meet these requirements, or does anyone here know how to code such an app?

Please let me know.

Thanks

OK...I have multiple scenes in my movie, I have a sound wav playing throughout the movie. I also have a toggle on and off for the end user to be able to switch it on and off at their leisure.

My problem is when the flash movie goes to the next scene it forgets what the user clicked in the previous screen (on or off) and the wav starts playing automatically.

The big thing I have to figure out with your great minds is...If the end user clicks sound off in the first scene I would like it to stay off in all the following scenes until he or she turns it back on.

Please if you know answer this, IM desperate! Thanks in advance! JesseH

p.s I need a way to detect whether the toggle is on or off ...thanks!

p.s.s when you are in the first scene, click sound off, then go to the next scene by clicking the (dive team link at the top) you will see that the sound stays on in the second scene ...even though you turned it off in the first. Thanks guys! JesseH

Need Expert Help/Willing To Pay
I am working on a Flash project that contains a "click and drag" function. My action script is not working as well as I would like. I need a Flash expert who can look at what I have, make it better (more reliable), and then explain what he/she did to fix it. If you are an expert, your time is valuable, so I am willing to compensate accordingly. I'm under a deadline, so speed is also important to me. If you are interested, please contact me at ibacpa@cox.net

Is There An Expert Out There?
When you right click on a flash movie and click settings, then the mic - it is possible to see a list of sound cards. Clearly the flash player can read this list.

There must be a way of counting the elements in this list.

The purpose: to establish (online) whether a user has the ability to play sound.

A Problem For An Expert
Well, I don’t know how to call this problem ..is it a problem with addressing a variable or what…
My main time line has 2 Frames…
The first frame: containing the action of

mov = "mov1";
as it is obvious it sets the Variable named mov a value of mov1

the second frame only stops the main time line.

In the second frame there are 2 movie clips ..

(1) one of them assigned the actions of :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.DELETEKEY)) {
// heres the problem of addressing i guess
setProperty (_root._root.mov, _visible, false);
}
}

* expression buttons is pressed

(2) and the other movie clip is named mov1 and the one I want to hide
all I want is when I press the key DELETE… the movie clip mov1 disappear…
I want to do this based on reading the variable value on the root so whenever I change the value of the variable ..it hides a different movie clip.
I am addressing the variable names in different ways… also ..i tried to use EVAL function in different ways…
I don’t know.. why it don’t read the variable mov as its value mov1
Shall I write it like _root(_root.mov) or shall I use the EVAL function(how).. I need some expert !!
Hint:: when I use a button instead .. It reads the variables value

on (release) {
setProperty (_root.mov, _visible, false);
}

BUT if I moved the button inside a movie clip..it does not.. even if I add a one more _root like this _root._root.mov

I guess it is addressing problem..

Someone help me pleeease

Hi,

For Expert In Fscommand
Hi..

I have a problem with the fscommand (exec,)

But I think that it will be better to tell you what I doing exactly so you can give me the right answer for my problem..

1- I use flash mx
2- I designed some kind of tourist guide which will be published on cd
3- I have 3 main .fla
- Presentation .fla
- Menu .fla
- 3 items each one in a separate .fla

I converted the presentation .fla to presentation.exe and the rest of the .fla to .swf

Until now every thing goes fine and all the files can call each other

- i test it on several pc 's and it works fine -

But..

I decided to convert the rest of the SwF (menu.swf and the 3 items) to .exe files

Why?

1- to protect the swf files from importing or downloading from the cd – I know that even the protected swf could be cracked and I spend hours in this project – and the exe files will be more difficult to expand it.

2- To avoid any Possibility that the swf will not work – I know that the flash projector works even there is no flash player on the computer.

3- I think it looks more professional to use the projector files – I tried to convert all the swf to the macromedia director but it failed.

So where is the problem??

1- I put at the last frame of the presentation .fla the fscommand (“exec”, “menu.exe”)
I made a folder and I named it fscommand and I put on it the menu .exe

When the presentation.exe arrive to the last frame the menu .exe opens in another flash player and I want it to replace the presentation.exe flash player as we can say on 0 level.

2- where I put the 3 items .exe ? if you call them from the menu.exe with the fscommand (“exec”,..)
I must put the three exe files inside another fscommand file and how you will call the menu from any item using the fscommand (“exec”,..) ?

Main folder
| --- 1- presentation.exe
| --- 2- fscommand folder ( which contains)
| ---- 1- menu.exe
| --- 2- fscommand folder (which contains )
| --- 1- item1.exe
| --- 2- item2.exe
| --- 3- item3.exe

by the way i tried to use flash studio pro it is a trial version and i dont like to use any external sofware

I am waiting for your advice
Thank you

Need An EXPERT Answer On This One
Hi everyone,

Here is a tricky question for me but maybe you would know what code to add to the following: this.reelmc._visible = false;
this.loadbar._visible = false;
percent_display = "";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",10);
container.loadMovie("profile.swf ");
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
percent=(this.container.getBytesLoaded()/this.container.getBytesTotal())*100;

if(!isNan(percent)){
// trace(percent+"% loaded");
if (percent == 0) {
percent_display = "";
} else {
percent_display = Math.ceil(percent) + "% LOADED.";
}
this.loadbar._visible = true;
this.loadbar._xscale = percent;
if (percent > 1) {
this.reelmc._visible = true;
}
container.stop();
} else {
// trace("0% loaded");
}
if(percent == 100){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.reelmc._visible = false;
percent_display = "";
this.loadbar._visible = false;
loadMovieNum("profile.swf ",0);
}
}
stop();

As you can see I am using a preloader that calls one page. However, if you look at my website right now, (http://207.245.50.11) everything is in one movie and uses the preloader at the beginning of the site as my site is 216kb to download. What I would like to be able to do is:

Use the same actionscript for all my pages (Home, Profile, Advertize, etc...). However, if I use the actionscript as specified as above and replace the swf (written in blue here= profile.swf is one of the pages I have created on my local PC, but is not actually on the web yet).
If I use this actionscript, it opens in the middle of the site as I positionned it that way but my top and bottom background disappear as it is only calling the profile.swf (800X333 pixels). The rest in white, appearing in my index.html centered table.
I would like to be able to keep my top and bottom background without relaoding it all the time, like in http://www.2advanced.com website.
So, if you can come up with a logical solution, it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Expert Help Needed
Hey guys.

I need some help. I’ve been looking around for some information on a particular project I’m working on, and I seem to be having a real problem. Information from some flash experts like yourselves would be a great help!

Essentially it boils down to the fact I just don’t know a way to animate tweens backwards - if possible at all.

Here is a basic mock up swf, imitating what I’m trying to achieve.

Ideally, this is what I would like do: When the user clicks on the right (or forward) button- the image present scrolls along to reveal the next image. And obviously when the user clicks on the left button (or backward) button the image scrolls back.

How do I do this?! --I’m sure there is a script that can tween or appear to tween the image back into place.

Any help on this would be awesome. Here is the mock up .fla file if you need it. Maybe this doesn’t sound like expert knowledge- but thats why I’m asking here
--Thx in advance guys.

MX Expert Mode Dot (.)
Hi,

I have been using flash on and off now, for the past couple of years and can do simple animations know a little actionscript. I have decided to further my skills in actionscript and to help I have purchased a couple of books. I have noticed that near enough all MX actionscript books want you to use expert mode and use the dot (.) method. If I learn this way, do you think that it is better than using Normal mode as I have been previously?

Is it easy to carry out the same tutorials that are written in the dot (.) format in Normal mode?

What mode do you think is best??

Thanks in advance,

James.

Need Expert's Advice
I need some advice on a flash project for my company. I'm ont an expert on Flash.

Here a brief description:
The flash application has to simulate some lottery results communication with another application on a distant server.

The flash appliaction has to run on a QNX system (real time operating system). The system support the Voyager browser (version 2.0). This broswer support flash plugin 5.0. Basically the flash application has to communicate with another application running on a server. The communication has to be http. I think that web services are supported on flash player 7 and above, I'm not sure.

_ What's the best way to do this?

_ Can we use web services with flash 5.0? What's another way to communicate with another application on the web?

_ Is flash player 7(with Flash MX 2004 Pro) the only way to do this?

_ Another constraint. The QNX embedded system doesn't really have a hard disk.

Expert Help Needed
Hey guys,

This question may sound simple to those of you who are flash experts, but thats why I'm posting here
My question is simply this:

I have a long mc that stretches horizontally long the stage, and I need the mc to slide forwards and backwards along the stage. The slide would be invoked by a forward and backward button. Sounds simple enough right? well I've been traversing through these forums and others trying to find a solution, but I keep hitting a brick wall.

I know I can just copy and reverse the frames and use frame-labels to mimic a mc playing forwards and backwards, but that bloats the swf and most importantly - its going to be an absolute nightmare to update - which is a pre-requisite for this site. They want the site to be easily updated with new photos on a regular basis. My theory is - I'll make one long mc that I can update quickly - and this mc will be navigable by using a forwards and backwards button.

Am I approaching this from the wrong angle? Is there an easier way to make a mc scroll back and forth using buttons? -I have attached a rough mockup of what I trying to achieve for you guys.

Many thanks in advance - and I look forward to hearing from you flash gurus!

I am trying to build a flash banner with animations built in separate movie clips in order that the main timeline (scene 1/parent movie) wont have too many frames and will look more organized and easier to control. However, they don't seem to work when I want one movie clip to play after another. For example, i want mc 1 (movie clip 1) to play its animation followed by mc 2. Therefore, on the main timeline, I placed mc 1 in frame 1 on layer named mc 1 and mc 2 in frame 2 on layer named mc 2. When I tested the movie, the animation started to flicker/blink. So I tried adding the following scripts: stop (); in frame 1 of layer mc2 with mc 2 remaining on frame 2 and _root.mc2.play (); in frame 2 of layer mc 1with mc 1 remaining in frame 1. None of these methods worked. The only way that seems to work is placing both movie clips in the same frames (frame 1 and 2) but then the animation isn't going to play one after another. What do you suggest in order to achieve this or should I just not use movie clips and place all animations in one movie clip or create the whole animation in the same timeline.

Big Problem (expert)
Hello,

I think i have a hard question , but i hope some of you guys know the answer

I am creating a game. But it will not have to be put online.
I have to write it on a CD, it is an assignment for my graduation.

So knowing that it has to work on the CD, so an .exe file, and not on the internet or a local host.
My question is know: I need data reading, writing and transactions. Therefore i will (as i think) need to use pHp, but php runs on a localhost or on the internet...
When the exe will be run, it won't be able to have php support or host access....
What do i have to do??? Some suggestions of a pro(s) would be helpfull

There will also have to be a folder created on the local system where the CD is activated, and store data in this(ese) folder(s)

So everything needs to be done local, on the C drive by using the CD

Thank you very much if someone can help me
I will check for replies very often
