Flash :: Getproperty/scroll-im A Newbie Kinda Help

Kinda A Newbie
I kinda know flash because they made us learn a little bit of it. What I want know is there a way for me to make a fully functional chess game? I did a google search and came up with nothing, and then did a forum search and came up with very confusing stuff.

I'm making a Harry Potter website, and I thought it would be cool to have a wizards chess thing. I'm coding the site in PHP, so would there be a way for the user to "submit" their scores to a top 100 list and get gold for it (The HP website will be kinda similar to Neopets and Gaia Online)

I'm really quick at learning stuff like this if someone has a tutorial or could write up instructions.

Kinda Tricky For A Newbie ;)
Hello!
I'm creating a photoalbum in flash. Everything works just nice but now I want flash to make a button on my page for every picture on my server ... well this is how i planing on doing this:

First I have a textfile "images.txt" including a variable: images=x (x= how many pics there are on server)

then I'd like flash to create a clickable button, for each number loaded from textfile, on the homepage.
So if images=15 then it should create 15 buttons.
When I click on one of the buttons a movie (image as a swf file) loads into the flashdocument (each button assigned to a specific swf-file). Do I make sense?

Well how am I going to do this??
Plz write so a newbie understands

Uh... Kinda New To Components.. Any Help With Scroll Pane?
I don't even know if this is the right way to go about it, but I need to scroll a movie clip, and I am trying to use a scroll pane. I obviously set it to verticle only, that was easy. But How do I tell it what to scroll?

I already have the movieclip made, so can't I just tell it to scroll that, or something?

Just a descripion of what and how the thing works would be nice.

Newbie W/ Yet Another Scroll Question
I have this dynamic text box and I have the buttons set up to scroll on press, but I can't figure out how to keep it scrolling if you hold the mouse button down. It will only scroll one line at a time. I'm attaching the files, but I'm not sure if it will work, as the last few times I have tried to attach something, I've had to post it separately.

Newbie Scroll Question
I used Jesse's scrolling text tutorial to create scrollable text in a dynamic text field. It worked great! But . . . when I nest that movie inside another movie, the scroll buttons do not work. I'm assuming I have to make some modification to the path in my MC. Right now it reads:

if (_root.up) {
_root.text.scroll += 1;
} else if (_root.down) {
_root.text.scroll -= 1;
}

Do I need to modify the button script as well?

Newbie: How Do I Make An Area Scroll? Please Help
Hello,

I am quite new to Flash, very new to CS3 and have no idea about actionsript.

I am really quite desperate for some help, advice, anything, I spent the whole of yesterday looking for tutorials!

I have made a tab that when you put your mouse over, it plays a movie clip of the tab sliding out to reveal thumbnail pictures. The thing is, there are too many thumbnails to fit on the tab so I really want to make it scroll! I think I read on a message board yesterday that you can't put buttons into movie clips. Is that right because I want the thumbnails to link to certain frames in the flash file when they are clicked. If need be I can remove the movie clip and not have the sliding effect, if that makes sense.

I would very much appreciate anyone reading this to tell me if this will be too difficult to acheive for a newbie? I have attached the file if you would be so kind to check it out.

Many thanks,

Helen

Scroll Button Problem (newbie)
i built an email form following these instructions:

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_email.htm

and can get the thing to work, except i can't get the message box buttons to scroll...the instructions didn't include how to setup the up/down buttons, so i just copied them and the code for them from the example...as far as i can tell, everything is the same...here's the AS code for the buttons, and i attached the form i created too, maybe there's something i'm totally spacing on.

scroll up:

ActionScript Code:
on (press) { form.body_txt.scroll--;}

scroll down:

ActionScript Code:
on (press) { form.body_txt.scroll++;}

i've tried messing with this thing for a while now, still can't get the stupid buttons to scroll the text... any ideas?

thanks in advance,
cev

Newbie, Page Flip V2, With Scroll Bar?
I'm currently using Page Flip v2 action script and am having trouble incorporating a scrolling text box mc on top of one of the pages.

This thread has an example of the script so I don't have to re-paste the code up here, (pages.http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=214911) but basically everything works independently but when I try and incorporate my scrollbar movieclip within one of the page flip movieclips it doesn't function.

Is this even possible before I put much more time into figuring it out?

Thank you.

Newbie Scroll Pane Component Troubles
I am working on a scroller with 54 images.
I've decided to use a scroll pane component but I really don't know what I'm doing in that there is a great deal of code that has been prepackaged for me and not only do I not know how to recreate it but I have absolutely no idea where to find it or the skins to modify it, but I suppose that's for another post.. The pressing problem of the hour is this: it loops and won't function with the left and right arrow keys. I'm familiar enough with flash to put the 54 images in a movie clip containing 9 frames with 6 images on each. If I put a stop action on each frame, the scroll pane won't acknowledge any thing beyond the 1st frame and it seems pretty pointless to have a constantly moving movie in a scroll bar! I thought I took care of the properties and perameters but I'm clearly missing some thing. Unfortunately the .fla is too big due to my 54 images and I don't have stuffit on my lap top. If I can ftp it to some body that's fine..
thanks in advance guys!

Getproperty...is This Possible?
Hey everyone!

Could check this out, I double checked the instances and movie names and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I want to use the getproperty action from Flash 4 but I don't know how do go about it right in flash 5.

here is the code applied to a button:

on (release) {
if (_root.musicdrag.music._visbility = "0") {
setProperty ("_root.musicdrag.music", _visible, "100");
}
}

*music MC is inside musicdrag MC

What's wrong?

[HELP] - GetProperty?
[HELP] - getProperty?

Here's the link to what I'm trying to do for a visual:

http://www.geocities.com/boutros2/Test.swf

Each baby card is a movie labeled "baby_1, baby_2" ... and so on. Over each baby card is a button with alpha at about 40% so the cards can be seen behind it.

I want to click on any combo of two neighboring buttons and have the cards swap positions.

I've been able to get it to work only for one round. Then things get buggy.

My question is how to get the button over a particular box to read the new card that lives there. I've tried playing with the getProperty( myMovie, _name) but the catch 22 is I need the instance name of the movie. But I want a way for the button to read the instance name of whichever movie ends up under it so I can manipulate each movie ie:

setProperty("baby_?", _x, 222);
setProperty("baby_?", _y, 111);

or _root.baby_?.gotoAndStop(2);

As it is now, it will only correctly read the first baby_? MC that is under it.

I'm lost. Any point in the right direction would be very much appreciated.

If my question is unclear, I'd be happy to try and clarify.

Thanks.

I've created two objects and made a movieClip out of them, and then placed the clip on the stage. When I try to use getProperty all I get are the x, y positions from within the clip and it's relative position to the stage.

I've found some action script that works fine on the parent level of my file, but as soon as I try to put the action script and the "fl" mc that it is talking to inside of a movie clip ("main"), it breaks.

If i keep the action script on the parent level of my file, and move the "fl" mc inside of "main", I know i need to denote this somehow in the actionscript, but everything i've tried hasn't worked. any ideas? thanks.

here is the action script:

Frame 1:
i = 0;
setProperty ("fl", _visible, 0);
xx = getProperty("fl",_x);

Frame 2:
if(i < 35)
{
duplicateMovieClip ("/fl", "fl" add i, i);
setProperty ( "fl" add i, _alpha,i*8);
setProperty ( "fl" add i, _x,random(3) + xx);
i = i + 1;

Frame 3:
gotoAndPlay(2);

GetProperty Help
Hi,

my main movie has a "mc_base" movieclip that has it's _width changed when i press a button, and that same button also loads an external .swf into another mc (mc_insert).
on the external swf i want to check if the width of my "_root.mc_base" is 500 and if so the movie should gotoandStop (3), else gotoAndPlay (2) where i place the actionscript gotoAndPlay (1), so that it continues to check if the width is already 500.

How can i do this?

GetProperty?
Hi

I'm working on a project where mostly all the elements are created at runtime. I have to create almost 30 empty movieclips and now I want to arrange them. Since each movie's size is different horizontally, I figured the easy way would be to get the width (in pixels) of the last clip created and then add 14 pixels as a spacer.

I read through the help files and it seems like getProperty can do this, but it doesn't work. I get no actionscript errors but my syntax must be incorrect. Below is an example of what I'm trying to do.

Ideally I would like to scale the clips automatically so I don't have to punch in the values, but all images laoding are different sizes, and all I know is they cannont be larger than 86 pixels high regardless of width. The scaling I have now has nothing to do with it, I am just shrinking the movieclpis because they are buttons with prototype tweens.

As the file progresses determining where to place each symbol on the _x may be more complicated so any advice will help. I know there must be a simpler way than what I'm doing.

HERE'S A CHUNK OF THE SCRIPT including my comments for the client

// This creates an empty movieclip symbol for the logo image

this.createEmptyMovieClip("logo2_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

// This specifies the absolute path of the logo image being loaded into the new movieclip

logo2_mc.loadMovie("http://www.blahblah.com/cfusion/blah/lala/horsehead.jpg");

// This sizes the movie clip

logo2_mc._height == 86
logo2_mc._width == 86

// This scales the movieclip

logo2_mc._xscale == 70
logo2_mc._yscale == 70

// This positions the movieclip by finding the width of the last movieclip and adding a spacing of an additional 14 pixels

logo2_mc._x == 14 + (getProperty(logo1_mc, _width))
logo2_mc._y == 0

If? Else? GetProperty?
Hi. I am using this code to align my main mc to the stage of my flash movie.

Code:
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
main_mc._y = Stage.height/2;
sizeListener = new Object();
sizeListener.onResize = function() {
main_mc._y = Stage.height/2;
};
Stage.addListener(sizeListener);
(this is for a website)
What I want is to detect when main_mc hits the top of the stage/browser window and make it not to go any further as the stage/browser window is made smaller. Did I get myself clear?

GetProperty() Help
When an external SWF file is loaded into a MovieClip, does the height of that MovieClip change based on the height of the imported SWF file?

If so, how can you get the height of the MovieClip?

This is what I have so far after the SWF has been loaded - but it doesn't seem to function.

clipHeight = getProperty(MovieclipName, _height);
trace (clipHeight);

I get 0 (zero) displayed in the output dialog box every time. What I am I overlooking? I am trying to establish the MovieClip height so that I can tell the MovieClip how far it can scroll up before stopping. I need the height of the MovieClip (actually the loaded SWF) to do that.

B.T.W. the height of the loaded SWF is never the same.

Anyway I dont think my If statement is working - as i made it up. Is there anyone out there who can point out the flaws in my code?

on (release) {
getProperty (arrow, _currentframe );
if (_currentframe=10) {
tellTarget ("arrow") {
gotoAndPlay (11);
}

GetProperty Vs. DotSyntax
what's the difference between the following:

getProperty(scrollLine, _y)
and
scrollLine._y

I can't figure out when it's ok to just use dot syntax to access the value stored within a variable (or property, or array slot content) and when it's required that I use the getProperty() command.

GetProperty Between _levels - Possible, Or Not?
Hi

Does anyone know if it's possible for a button, located in an swf loaded on _level1, to get the name (or some other preset property) of a movie loaded on _level2, so that the button can load data (a jpg) specifically for that currently loaded swf.

Any help'd be greatly appreciated, 'cause I'm not sure where to start on this one.

Id like to attach MoviClipText when MoviClipSlide has reach different _x values. For example when MoviClipSlide stops at _x == 200. Could u have like an emptymoviclip on the stage that checks the _x property of MoviClipSlide and then attaches the MoviClipText.

GetProperty With A String
I'm having problem with this:

if (getProperty(_parent.loadUI.content, _totalframes) >0) {
trace("bla bla");
}

_parent.loadUI.content is a string-variable that contains the name of the movie clip to be inspected in quotes.

Does getProperty work with stings at all, or am I just too stupid ?
Latter is naturally the default assumption.

Many, many thanks in advance.

This.Getproperty Or Something Else That Might Work.
Hi

How should i write this code if I want it to work when its loaded into another movie. Tried putting this. infront of alot of stuff.

A button:
on (press) {
xjustnu = GetProperty(/:listan,_x) ;
targetx = xjustnu+50;
}

Then I have a movieclip called actions and the first frame looks like this:
startx = GetProperty(/:listan,_x) ;
moved = /:targetx-startx;
setProperty(/:listan, _x, startx+(moved/9));

And when I load this movie into another stage it stops working. But if I just run it like it is without loading it into another movie/stage it works fine. Tried this.Getproperty and this.listan ,, nothing worked. please help me out.

GetProperty Problem
I'm making a gallery page for someone on a fully flash site. I originally drafted out the coding for the gallery in a separate .fla and it worked fine. Basically it just has a grid of thumbnails that ungrey if moused over and change size based on their proximity to the cursor. I then copied it over to the wrapper I had set up for the site (remaking everything and copy/pasting the script) and...nothing.

After some fiddling (yay trace!) I found that getProperty was returning undef.

below is the relevant code:

falloff=30;

trace(getProperty("b_2_2",_alpha));

for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{for(u=0;u<5;u++)
{dist=Math.sqrt(((getProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_x)-_xmouse)*(getProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_x)-_xmouse))+((getProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_y)-_ymouse)*(getProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_y)-_ymouse)));

if(100+100*(falloff/dist)>150)
{setProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_width,150);
setProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_height,112.5);}else if(100+100*(falloff/dist)<100)
{setProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_width,100);
setProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_height,75);}else{setProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_width,100+100*(fallof f/dist));
setProperty("b_"+i+"_"+u+"",_height,75+75*(falloff /dist));}}
}

It's sloppy, but it gets the job done, or at least would if it worked = ...

I've smacked it around a bunch but can't figure out why even when called straight up, with no variables getProperty won't work.

If anyone has any ideas I'd be in your debt...

EDIT: Todays lesson: use the preview button ALWAYS

GetProperty / SetProperty
heya,

i have a scrolling map using get/setProperty functions. this works when i publish it for flash player6 but when i publish it as flash 7 or 8 the mapscrolling doesn't work. im having a tough time figuring this one out. anyone have any advice?

here are snippets of the code if it helps:

Code:
mover = getProperty("scrollingobject", _x);

Code:
mouseh = getProperty("/tracker", _x);
mousev = getProperty("/tracker", _y);
if (Number(mousev)>100 and Number(mousev)<300) {
movevalue = (Number(movevalue*_global.speed)+Number(((mouseh-320)/20)))/10;
setProperty("/alert", _visible, True);
} else {
setProperty("/alert", _visible, False);
}

Code:
mover = Number(mover)+Number(movevalue);
if (Number(mover)>1008) {
mover = 0;
}
if (Number(mover)<0) {
mover = 1008;
}
setProperty("/scrollingobject", _x, mover);
gotoAndPlay(20);

any ideas on what could make this flash 8 compatable?

GetProperty Allowables
To try solving another problem I've been playing with the getProperty function. I ran into an interesting issue. This line compiles:

var PVSForm = getProperty(_root.session.windowMgr[0], _x);

but this one doesn't:

var PVSForm = getProperty(_root.session.windowMgr[0], contentPath);

I attached my call to attachMovie. The question is, what properties are accessable through getProperty? Since _x and contentPath are both declared the same way, I assumed I could get to both, but apparently not.

Is there a list of runtime accessible properties available?

Attach Code

_root.application.EventDesktop.attachMovie
(
"GWWindowXP",
sInstanceName,

I'm using loadMovie to import a jpeg into a target (placeholder) and then I'm attempting to use getProperty to ascertain the width and height of the imported jpeg. Problem is, it is only returning the width and height of the original placeholder mc.

Can someone please help me with the appropriate syntax for this action? Below is what I was trying that wasn't working...

loadMovie("import/pic.jpg", "placeholder");
width = getProperty(placeholder, _width);
height = getProperty(placeholder, _height);

Not sure if I should be using loadMovieNum instead... I've tried changing that using expert mode, but it keeps changing it back to loadMovie

thanks for any insight...

Why Getproperty(_x) Is Not Geting The Pos Value Of Mc On This Code ?
on the .fla example attached you will find :
we have 3 Mc each one has squares diferents colors (red,blue,yellow)
we also have 3 boton colored (red,blue,yellow)
each movie clip has defined instance´s name´s for each movie clip .
1)at the begining red Mc comes from right to left until it positions it self in de middle of the screen.
2)the idea of the script is to recognize wich sqare is on screen; so if you press any other color boton then it will be capable to take it out and replace it (coming in from right to left) with the color choosen.
next code is logically supouse to do so ,, but is not !!!

if somebody please could find out why , or fixed the error and attached the .fla again it will help solve the problem that is already driving me knots .

code:

on (release) {
RedX = "getProperty(redPage,_x)";
BlueX = "getProperty(bluePage,_x)";
YellowX = "getProperty(yellowPage,_x)";
//gets the pos of all the squares(we only need the x coordinate)

if (YellowX<100.0) {
_root.yellowPage.gotoAndPlay(6);
if (blueX<100.0) {
_root.bluePage.gotoAndPlay(6);
//now it checks if any of the pages is on the screen and if the are sends them out
if (RedX<100) {
stop;
//if the red page is on stage nothing happens I would be stupid to have it go outand then come in again
_root.redPage.gotoAndPlay(2);
//and last sends the red page in if its not allready there
}
}
}
}
end code
