Flash :: Filling A Cup With Liquid Folder...

Water / Liquid Filling Effect
Hi guys,

Anybody knows how to simulate the water filling effect by using FLASH and use it as a mask over a text content.

I've search around Kirupa forum, i have this code from stermer which is used to create a sine wave with fill underneath it

Code:
NbrControlPoints = 20;
StartX = 0;
EndX = Stage.width;
BottomY = Stage.height;
WaterLevel = Stage.height / 2;
WaveHeight = 30;
WaveSpeed = .0005;
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.clear();
this.beginFill(0xFE9919, 100);
this.moveTo(EndX, BottomY);
for (x = 0; x < NbrControlPoints; ++x) {
var r = x / (NbrControlPoints - 1);
px = EndX + r * (StartX - EndX);
py = WaterLevel + WaveHeight * Math.sin(r * Math.PI * 2 + getTimer() * WaveSpeed);
this.lineTo(px, py);
}
this.lineTo(StartX, BottomY);
this.lineTo(EndX, BottomY);
this.endFill();
};
attemping to use this as a mask over a picture, all I can see is the sine wave it self. Any ideas ?

thanks.

Linking To Files That Are In The Folder That Hold The Folder Where Ur File Is
i'm trying to get my website to run as it would on the internet but not actually on the internet for a college exhibition. most of my website is in one flash doc but a few pages are seperate that hold some media. all the pages are in one folder (except one) and link to each other with this code:

on (release) {
getURL("whateverfile.htm");
}

the other page is my music page, which is in a folder within the folder that all the other pages are in. to get to the music page from the rest of my website, i did this:

on (release) {
getURL("musicfolder/mymusic.htm");
}

if you even know what im talking about how to i get back out of that folder to the main folder with a link to the main website page?

this is what i tried:

on (release) {
getURL("websitefolder/mywebsite.htm");
}

it didnt work.
i'm quite new to action scrpiting, as in i started learning 3 days ago. im more of an animator to be honest. thanks

Xml Loads When Path Is To The Same Folder,but Not From The Folder I Need To Load Fro
hey there! here is my problem if anyone is so kind to point me in the right direction:

i have a Part2_Resources.swf that loads assets/resources.swf into a container on it's root timeline. no problem. assets/resources.swf then loads in config.xml for its content. i think the problem comes in relation to my file structure even though I have already made sure that my path is relative to my root swf.

this presentation will be on cdom so i want to keep my main projector file out in the open and then store all the other files into an 'assets' folder. so here is my file structure:

cd / Part2_Resources.swf (will end up being a projector file)
assets folder / resources.swf and config.xml

when i play my resources.swf by itself with the config.xml loaded directly it works perfectly (ie path: configxml.load("config.xml")

but when i play the Part2_Resources.swf, which then loads assets/resources.swf, wich in turn loads config.xml from the assets folder (ie: path to xml file in resources.swf changed to configxml.load("assets/config.xml") the data doesnt load, or isn't visible for some reason. I am not getting any errors, just no content from the xml file.

i can't figure out where im going wrong except that i might need to use absolute paths which i don't know how to do from a cdRom!

maybe it is another problem altogether?? i attached my files if anyone wants to give it a go!

Help please!!!
Much appreciated!!!

Shared Folder, Resource Folder ...
This is a bit of an open question, but in terms of application development, project development, systems architecture, etc, in what situation would you have a 'Resource Folder' and a 'Shared Folder'. I believe these are common, so where are they used. Anyone heard of these terms before ?

If (zone.hitTest(_x, _y, true) {
inzone = true;
zoneicon.gotoAndPlay("visible");
} else {
inzone = false;
zoneicon.gotoAndPlay("invisible");
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
if (inzone = true){
bar+=1;
movieclip_bar.gotoAndPlay(bar+1) //The bar is supposed to animate
if (bar>99){ //If the bar is full
gotoAndPlay("finish") //Advance to next level
}
}
}
What is wrong?

Filling A Bar
hi there all you Flash Gurus!

im a newbie to the flash world, i have a project im working on, its like a preloader, but i want to fill the bar depending on a 2 values passed from the browser variables a & b

varA = total
varB = progress

Check out the attached image. thats the bar

the part im totally stuck with is making the green bar move from 0 to the point specified in the variable... so basically the green bar stops at the percentage of varA. the total width of the movie is the same as depicted in the image, its just the internal variables that change.

if you could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated. i know ActionScript is needed, its just that crap im lost with. I guess all im asking for is how do i get that symbol to move across the screen.

New Raising Of Liquid
Hey,

I have a new idea for my liquid problem. I have a "sealed vile of liquid". It starts off slightly full, then when you move the mouse (any direction) the liquid starts to raise from the bottom up. As soon as the mouse stops, the liquid proceeds to lower. When you move the mouse again the liquid rises, if it is lowering it will raise from the point at which it lowered to. I also need it to work if I am using frames anywhere on the page. Is this possible ?

Thanks for your help

Moving Liquid....
Not sure how much of a "noob" question this is, but I need to represent fluid moving through a system of pipes,,a couple types of fluids at that. Masking movie clips is how I have been doing it, but it gets very complex, very quick, and the result is so-so. If someone is interested in helping, I could send a link to what I've been working on if it would help.

Any pointers on how to get something like this going? Mayeb I am doing all that can be done? I guess there is probably some really complicated AS that can be done too, but that is where I fall short. I just am familiar with basic stuff. TIA.

Liquid Layout
Hi,
I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to make a liquid gui layout.
I would like the background red "strip" to extend completely to fit the users screen size or however far the viewer wants to open the browser window. Then, I want the other movieclips to stay in place.
Meaning, if you drag the window, and the red strip extends, I don't want the other mc's to stay to the left. There will be more mc's on the stage when I'm finished, so I guess they would have to move in exact increments, so the rest of the site is always "centered" in the red strip.
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks so much.

Pouring Liquid
I've scoured the forums and the rest of flashkit, as well as other sites... I have found a few samples of pouring liquid (water into a glass) done in swish, as well as actionscript (lava flowing down) - ironically all years old. Unfortunately I can't see any source files to figure out how they were done, and haven't had any replies to PMs I have sent.

I am trying to simulate pouring liquid... and I just can't wrap my mind around it.

Does anyone know of a good way to do this? If so, can I get help with the AS?

Liquid Layouts
I have seen several sites designed with flash that use liquid layouts where the whole browser window is the site, so when you resize, site elements and movie clips reposition accordingly and sometimes the background uses a photograph that resizes and keeps the proper scaling so the image doesn't distort. Check out for instance the Volver movie site:

Volver Site

What would be an example of the ActionScript used to control that image background behavior?

Thanks in advance guys!

Liquid Preloader

I am trying to script it so that the surface of the fuel sloshes around as it fills up the tank, but I just can't figure out a good way to go at it. Can anybody offer me some suggestions on how to achieve this with actionscripting? Maybe you have seen a similar effect somewhere that I could check out?

[AS 2.0] Help.. Liquid Layout.
I was a bit tired this morning so I posted my question in the wrong forum (sorry) so I'll post it here.

What I want is something similar to http://www.hampusolsson.com/start/flash.html
If you resize your browser you'll see that the background image rescale while the content stay in place and size.

Don't know if it helps but the script looks like this in AS 3.0:

Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;

pic.x = 0;
pic.y = 0;
pic.width = stage.stageWidth;
pic.height = stage.stageHeight;

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onStageResize);

function onStageResize(event:Event):void
{
pic.width = stage.stageWidth;
pic.height = stage.stageHeight;
}

I need it to work in AS 2.0 please

Filling Arrays
how can i fill an array with the names of variables in a for loop instead of strings?

for instance, I can do this.

myarray = new Array(l1,l2);

but lets say I want to fill this array with the instance names of 50 movies, l1 through l50, it is very tedious to right out all of those names, but I cant get the array to add a variable name. It only wants to add it as a string. for example.

for (i=0;i<50;i++){
myarray[i]=("l"+i);
}

the above statement will add 50 strings to the array, I want to add 50 variable names.

I have made this as clear as possible, I hope someone can help me out because I've been pulling my hair out over this one.

thanks

ps - another way to solve this problem would be to somehow convert a string to a variable name, how would i do that?

Filling A Box Via ActionScript. Possible?

Basically, I dont know how to go about doing this. I consider myself very welloff in actionscript, but I am stuck trying to figure out a method. I've tried using a method of finding the midpoint of a line segment opposite a verticie, then taking that midpoint and dividing it up and drawing a line to each point, but that method is cpu intensive and ends up with tons of instanced movie clips.
