Forget About The Frames
The html documents are on my webserver. I just included the name of the document in the actions for my buttons.
Very Simple. The files are on my webserver. I just provided a name of the file in my MX program when I wrote the link.
It is just leftframe.html Sorry it is just a page not frames.

Is This Possible With AS? Or I Should Forget Flash
my vw client came up with this idea of making a mosaic picture of new beetle with all small new beetle photos. the picture is done with a software, however, the client wants a animation to load in the picture in order by each small photos from a specific direction.
i think this is probably beyond flash's capability, even with actionscript, what do you guys think?
this is the link to the mosaic picture:

Declaring Variables.... I Forget How.
Hey ppl,
I think I used to know how to do this but since the work I am getting lately is so inconsistent, I think I forget how.
I need to pass a swf to a guy for use in Authorware.
He wants me to make a blue square, and a green square.
And when the variable = "blue" he wants the blue square to come up, when the variable = "green" then the green square needs to come up.
I have no idea if I should make this a 3 frame swf, with nothing in the first frame, and a blue square on frame 2, a green square on frame 3... etc. Or make it all a movie clip? I have no idea where or how to even begin.
Please help me, maybe once this is answered I can remember how to do other stuff too.
Thank you very much.

When Using XML As A Text Source Don't Forget This
If using XML as a text source and you have a need to use any of the following special characters, then read this.
For example the text I want to display:
Rod's new site "I Rule" is awesome.
In you XML it needs to be as follows:
Rod's new site "I Rule" is awesome.
There are 5 predefined entity references in XML:
< < less than
> > greater than
& & ampersand
' ' apostrophe
" " quotation mark
Entity references always start with the "&" character and end with the ";" character.
Note: Only the characters "<" and "&" are strictly illegal in XML. Apostrophes, quotation marks and greater than signs are legal, but it is a good habit to replace them.
Enjoy!

XML - How Tell XmlObject Forget The Nodes?
Hi, guys!
I have to use a very long function 3 or 4 times. This function builds a list using attachMovie method.
The code to load the XML list is:
Quote:
var brXML:XML = new XML();
// I use the tipoDisco var to change the xml I want to load...
var tipoDisco:String = "trabalhos/xml/todos.xml";
brXML.ignoreWhite = true;
brXML.load(tipoDisco);
// on load...
brXML.onLoad = function(success){
if (success) {
geraLista(this);
} else {
trace("XML was not loaded");
}
};
Then I have 3 buttons with the actions...
Quote:
// asking a new XML document...
this.producer_btn.onRelease = function() {
tipoDisco = "trabalhos/xml/produtor.xml";
brXML.load(tipoDisco);
};
When I click the button, it loads the correct XML and rebuild the list, but the old list CONTINUES above the new one. How can I say "Hey, flash! Forget the old XML and, now, use THIS, AND JUST THIS XML to build the new list" ?
Is it possible? I´ve tried the XML.removeNode method but it does not work.
Any Idea?
Thanks a lot to everyone!

OK, Forget The Radio Button....
Aloha,
The title is in reference to my previous post.
Ok, what I'm needing help with is this:
I'm attempting to skin the Tree UI Component, all I want to do is change it so that when someone clicks on the file icon, (the one that is displayed beside a childnode with no additional childnodes) it simply turns red. I can't seem to get it right, could someone give me a hand? (stop clapping! )
Thanks

Forget That Last Post. Here's A Clear Explanation
ok,
I'm working on a presentation for a cd.
In essence, I have a list of 8 categories, each of which relates to a list of items in that category. The categories appear in a box on the left. The related items appear in a box on the right.
The list of related items will often be longer than the box it appears in, so the list will need to scroll. In addition, the items need to be buttons, so this isn't really scrolling text. I was going to use a mask or something like that, with a "goto frame x" action, but there must be a better way...
Thank you for sharing...

The Easy Things I Always Forget...linking.
Hi!
Ok, have forgot it again..
Have a button inside a mc.
When I click that button I want to go to another frame("main_1"), on the main timeline. And in that frame I have a mc("main_1"(aswell))and I want to go to a frame in that mc that´s called "start".
this is the code right now, but it only goes to the mc:s first label and stops their(because I have a stop of course, but why doesn´t it jump to the label: "start" in that mc?
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("main_1", "start");
}
cheers!

Flash Wishes - Don't Forget To Tell Macromedia
I know a lot of us are hoping for more in Flash 7, which, as we know is currently in beta testing.
It's not incredibly likely that MM will add many requested features to the current MM Devs Flash 7 paperwork/bible, but I'm sure we can try to squeeze a few things in there, or at least build some hopes for Flash 8.
I've been submitting my own feature requests and bug reports, but I'm certain plenty of the Flash Junkie Community hasn't....I just wanted to make sure everyone gets their word in!
The Macromedia Software Feature Request & Bug Report page can be found at: http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/, so those of you who are hoping for more, please let Macromedia know about it!

Did I Forget A Basic Function Of Dynamic Text?
I must have left my brain at home
I'll lay it out. I want to have a dynamic text field that intermittently scrolls tips and glibs. The text drops down on a mask, pauses for a few seconds, then drops off the bottom of the mask. When the mouse is over objects of the movie, the text is replaced with pert. info in the same fashion.
I am drawing a blank, if anyone can point me to the code I am looking for I would be most pleased

Forget Crisp Pixel Fonts, What About A Simple, Crisp Button?
Hi,
I am trying to do something very simple here. All I have is four rectangular buttons next to each other with about a pixel of space between them.
My problem: No matter what I do (getting them onto
whole co-ordinates etc.) I cannot seem to get them looking crisp.
They seem to be slighty crisper in flash 5 for some reason.

Preloader - Why Does It "forget" Each Time I Reload?
I have a preloader that's working fine - I found the script for it here, but every time I reload the page it starts from scratch. Isn't it supposed to "remember"/store the pages?
It's a "square" preloader - showing 10 different squares depending on how many % loaded.
The movie has 4 keyframes:
1:
percentage = 1;
total_frames = getProperty("/", _totalframes);
loaded = 3;
setProperty("/fill1", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill2", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill3", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill4", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill5", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill6", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill7", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill8", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill9", _visible, false);
setProperty("/fill10", _visible, false);
2:
if (Number(percentage)>=100) {
gotoAndPlay("mainmovie",1);
}
3:
ifFrameLoaded (loaded) {
percentage = int((loaded*100)/total_frames);
percentagetxt = "Loaded: " add percentage add "%";
loaded = Number(loaded)+1;
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 10) {
setProperty("/fill1", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 20) {
setProperty("/fill2", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 30) {
setProperty("/fill3", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 40) {
setProperty("/fill4", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 50) {
setProperty("/fill5", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 60) {
setProperty("/fill6", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 70) {
setProperty("/fill7", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 80) {
setProperty("/fill8", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 90) {
setProperty("/fill9", _visible, true);
}
if (Number(percentage) >= 100) {
setProperty("/fill10", _visible, true);
}
4:
gotoAndPlay(2);
Any ideas????

Why Does Flash "forget" Shortcuts?
I've seen this happen with various Adobe applications over the years, and now it's happening with Flash CS3. It happens most often when copying and pasting frames. I can copy and paste frames using the Edit/Timeline menu, but when I try to do it by pressing Ctrl + Alt + C and V, nothing happens. I can usually clear this up by exiting Flash and restarting it, but that's an irritating waste of time.
Any ideas?

Puzzled On Frames Loaded And Total Frames Calculation Issue
The Goal:
I am trying to find out if the last frame of a loaded swf has been completed so I can then unload that swf and replace it with another swf.
The Process:
I have on the main time line a MC called movie1. (The main time line is only one frame long)
In the first frame on the main time line I have the following code:
---- start code ----
loadMovie("test/test_movie.swf", "movie1");
if (_root.movie1.framesloaded=_root.movie1.totalframe s) {
getURL("javascript:alert("Frames Fully Loaded")");
} else {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 1", 1);
getURL("javascript:alert("Frames Not Loaded")");
}
---- end code ----
This code will load and play the movie into the MC and gives me an alert that the "Frames Not Loaded". Thats great because it means I am loading the movie correctly and testing the total frames correctly. But I need to know when the last frame of the loaded swf has played so I can then load another. Even if I take out the else statment in my testing code I still can't get it to tell me when all the frames are loaded.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Looping Frames X-y For 'z' Amount Of Times Then Proceeding To Frames After Loop
Hi,
I'm relatively new to Flash and have not done much work with the AS. I was hoping someone here could enlighten me on an area which has been stumping me.
I need to know how to loop (for example) frames 1 to 5, 4 times then continue to frame 6 until the last frame, then go back to frame 1, thus re-entering the loop, etc. I do believe it would involve something like this... but then again I'm a newbie to this so... what do I know (which is why I wanna learn)
Frame 1:
i=0
Frame 5:
i=i+1
if (i>4) {
gotoAndPlay(6);
} else if (i<4) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Thanks so much

Looping First 38 Frames 7 Times, Then Playing The Whole 76 Frames And Stopping
Hi Guys, I have a movieclip that the first half has one set of movements, but the second half changes. I want to be able to loop this movieclip (instance on the root), so that it plays the first 38 frames 7 times...i.e., loops 7 times, and the 8th time, it plays the whole clip, then stips...the movie is 76 frames long.
I know it's going to be...make i=1 first time...add 1 to i each time...and if i=7, then play past frame 38...and put a stop(); at the end of the movie, but i don't know how that code would look, if I could please ask for more...basic (ugh...) help...
In other words, how do I write this (pseudocode) in AS:
i=1
play frames 1-38
i=i+1
if i is less than 8, play frames 1-38
if i is more than 7, play the whole movieclip, all 76 frames

How To Repeat A Group Of Frames Without Adding A Million Frames?
Hello,
I have made a small flash intro using Flash MX 2004 Professional. The intro is about 3 seconds long. Here's what I want to do:
I want to add a few frames to the intro where I add things shooting through randomly, and I need these few frames to repeat themselves while keeping the main intro sort of paused in the background... How would I do this? How would I "pause" the background without adding a million frames? And is there some way that I can loop a group of frames? Please respond as "newbish" as possible so I can understand
Thank you!

Copy Frames Paste Frames... File Size.
Sooo I have a bunch of vector art I imported from swift3d and than I want to reverse the animation later on in the project so I copy the frames and than I paste them then I use the reverse frames option.... When I compile it doubles the size when I compile.... I know that maybe I should expect this. But if the symbols are already in the library why doesnt flash just use those symbols again and not increase in size?'
I hope this makes sense thanks in advance

Film Frames To Flash Frames
I want to make some small animations and in order to capture movement and forms 'correctly' I want to use digital video.
I would then turn up the contrast to define the form and shapes and then trace in flash or freehand. Hereby creating a frame by frame animation.
OK that's an idea, how do I do that the best way? (and quick?)

Replacing Frames With Other Frames
I would like to know if it's possible to replace existing frames with other frames. In my case I have made an animation of a talking guy with text appearing over him, but at some point he stops talking and I forgot to insert the frames where his mouth is closed, so I'm stuck with no text but a mouth that is moving anyway. I would like to replace the sequence of 'moving mouth frames' with a sequence of 'closed mouth' of the same length.
Thanks in advance guys.

.swf's And Frames
Hello.
Here is the question: How does one controll a swf from another swf loaded into another frame in the browser window. wow, I'm even confusing myself with that explanation... If I have a frameset with two frames, and one frame (the Main frame) contains my main movie, while the other frame has a 2nd swf loaded into it at a certain point along the main movie's timeline. Is there a way to control the main movie from this 2nd swf? Sorry if that makes no sence, its been a loooong day. I'm playing around with _parent._root etc, etc, but obviously no success.
Anyhow, thanks for any and all help.

Are there any resources on the net that have explored this issue?
I'm curious if slower computers can handle higher frame rates in flash. (nothing really high, but 24 fps or so)
