Flash :: Go Back One Step

Go Back A Step Tool For Paint App
does anyone know of any actionscript that will act as a go back a step tool by undoing the actions of the mouse back to the last mouse down.

the actionscript used to paint is the following:

****
onMouseDown = function () {
paintClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
onMouseMove = function () {
paintClip.lineStyle(thickness, colour, alpha);
paintClip.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
};
};
onMouseUp = function () {
onMouseMove = null;
};
****

somehow i need to revert back to the prevouse mousedown thus acting as a go back, does this mean i need code to log every mouse down?

im using flash8 as2 and have included the .fla

Player Detection ....this Is A Step Back
With previous versions of flash ( 5/6/7) you were alerted either via a warning message or the appearence of an empty icon (there where your swf was sitting) if you needed to upgrade your flash player on your browser in order to see all the flash contents of the page.
But now, say you have flash player 7 on your machine, and you open a page featuring some flash 8 content, you will not have a clue you are missing something on that page.
And if you right click there where you know (because say you are the author of that page) is some flash 8 content, you will get a pop up window telling you about your flash 7 setting... nothing else.
Is this going to be fixed?

Slideshow Step Back/forth Button Not Stopping
Hi,
I have a simple image slideshow with play/stop back/forth buttons. Everything works fine, except when you hit back or forth, when the movie is playing, eventually it moves on to the next picture.. unless you hit stop. I'd like the the frame to stop automatically when a viewer hits these buttons.

Please view my attached file.

I know this should be very easy but I can't seem to figure it out! I have deadlines up my bum and I'm spending too much time on this! Please help.. a clue, anything.. ! It would be much appreciated, thank you!

Urgent Help: How To Remove The Accumaltion When Show Movies Step By Step With Buttons
I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.

I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove the accumulation from previous frames?

For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What should I do?

I need to fix this immediately.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all.

I'm wanting to create an email form in my Flash site. So that the user enters details like name, email address and message and that then gets sent to my email address.

Erasing LineTo Functions Step-by-step
I have a function that allows the user to draw shapes using the lineTo() function. Is there any way to step backwards and erase the previously drawn segment?

My only thought is to continue to draw, only draw over the previous segment using the background color. This is a little sloppy, though. So I'm looking for something akin to an eraseTo() function.

any thoughts, tutorials, or examples would be greatly appreciated!!

Clicktag Step By Step Instructions For Ad Banners?
Hi, I’m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I’ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I’m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:

on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}

I’m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.

Any info or sample flash files would be great, thanks!

Need A Step-by-step Help In Creating A Complicated Form
Hi! I've asked some help from 'flash8' thread.

but i've decided to ask for help the whole chunk of what i'm trying to do as i'm really new with flash, but i'd like to try doing this as i've been trying to gather bit by bit here and there from kirupa site. but i really am not sure of what i really have to do ...the correct way.

my flash movie would consist of :

a) scrollable menu where my multiple image of png will load into
b) multiple (could also be one image) of png images that will gradually appear into the same folder where my .fla file is.
c) a layer of frame (more of a window, it's scrollable upwards & downwards) - the place for my original sized png image to appear
d) dropdown menu - that will contain form1, form2, form3 [form1, form2, form 3 will represent which part of the png image willl be shown in (b): form1 = top, form2 = middle, form3 = bottom]

1) a png image (possible that the png image will come in multiple) will load into my flash movie automatically, specifically all of them will load on a scrollable menu one after another, side by side with the png image size reduced to fit into the menu.
2) once i click one of the png image on the menu, the image will appear beneath its [like what i've explained in (c)]. this image is scrollable only upwards & downwards within the windowframe, and it should be the original size (not the reduced one to be fit into the menu)
3)below, there's a dropdown menu [i've explained in (d)] that will be chosen from, let's say form1 is chosen. the window where the scrollable png image is, will show the part where i set form1 is for.

please help me.

thank you so much if anyone could help me with this.

Need Step By Step FME To FMS To Web Client Info
I am new to FMS and FME. I have streamed media for several years using Windows Media Encoder (WME) to a third party server and then to clients on the net. I am trying to do the same thing with FME and FMS while bypassing the third party server. I am having no luck and getting errors when I just try to stream to FMS from FME even after trying other forum threads. Here's my info:

Wnidows 2003 server
Server IP address 192.168.0.1
Router Address 192.168.0.2: port 3601 open
Dynamic IP address on ISP (I can get my current ip address from "whatismyip.com. I also use "No-IP.com to provide a static address).
I am using a Viewcast 230 Video capture card which seems to be working perfectly with FME. So that's not a problem.

I do not have Dreamweaver or Flash CS3 on this machine. However I do have them on another computer.

I need the "type this for Dummies" approach. And, then, what do I tell clients to enter in their browser in order to view my stream?

Preloader:step By Step Tutorial Please?
Hello,

I have searched a lot of places concerning making a preloader with a percentage indicator in 2004.

Is there a step by step tutorial just for Flash MX 2004? Not for any other version but Flash Mx 2004?

Yes I read the sticky and no it doesn't solve all of my preloading problems becuase I don't really understand what it is talking about lol

I need something concrete and easy to follow. Everything I've tried doesn't work or is really for another version.

Thanks.

Step By Step Flash And Usability
I know this may be annoying to some but I'm wondering if there is a tutorial or site that explains the development of a site step by step from preloader, thru intros to how objects animate into position to form the site layout and navigation. sort of like http://www.one9ine.com to give one example.

Also wondering if there are any on accessability and usability - something that seems to be not thought of very thoroughly in many Flash sites.

Looking For A Step-By-Step Tutorial
Hey all,

I have searched the forums, the tutorials, and Google but with little luck. I am looking for a tutorial/guide/book that goes step-by-step the process of creating a flash website from scratch using Flash MX 2004. I know there are a lot of really great tutorials on this site, but they seem to be more geared towards one or two tasks in each one.

I did find a tutorial that was supposed to be a step-by-step guide, but it was for Flash 5 so the directions did not work and/or the pictures were not the same as in Flash MX 2004.

I know the way I learn and I think I would do best with a step-by-step (w/pictures) guide that shows how to make a flash website from absolute scratch (ground zero, day one, etc... ). I am more than willing to purchase a book or CD/DVD-type course, I just haven't been able to find a good one. I work during the day, and have other responsibilites in the evening, otherwise I would look to take a class at night. I would be open to taking an online course too if there are any available.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!

Can You Use The Back Button In A Browser To Go Back To Go Back In A Flash Movie?
Hi
In html pages it is easy to go back (the back button in the browser) to the last page you were on. But when you have got a flash site in a html page you cannot go back to the last page in the flash site using the 'back' button in the browser. Is there anyway you can change this so that you can use the back button in a browser to go back to the last flash frame?

The Next Step
Is Shockwave a step above Flash? What advantages does Shockwave have over Flash? I'm curious because I want to keep making my webpages bigger, better, and more advanced. Will Shockwave take me there?

One Step After The Other
On my web page I have several functions which move the pages (which are MCs) as the user navigates the site. With one click of the button I want one to move and when it has finished the next one to move. Because which movie clips are going to be moved changes I can't just have one function finish off asking the next one to move.
Is there some way I can delay the second function or tell flash to move only one at a time?

Nearly There - Last Step Please Help
Hi all - im on the last step (I think, I hope).
I've completed my web page as I want it in Flash (i.e when I test the movie in flash it works how I wish, navigation, transitions etc).
I have bought a domain name and hosting, and have a username and password etc from them.
I have got the use of Cute ftp at work (best way to put it online?)
So how do I go about taking the whole website from flash and putting it live on the web?
If someone could give a detailed account of each steps I would be extremely greatful.
Cheers

I Need To Step Out Of The Box
I am starting an actionscript-intense project and I'm having problems seeing "The Big Picture." I am hoping to create conversation that will "turn on a light bulb" for me and help organize my thoughts.

PROJECT:
The project is an interactive/visual BMI Calculator, which is a health tool.
http://tienahealth.com/bmi.asp

I am looking to create a flash version where the body changes interactively.

Here is what i have so far, OBVIOUSLY NOT IN DESIGN STAGES:
http://www.loukota.com/scaling.swf
http://www.loukota.com/scaling.fla

Because the common body mass index only calculates a weight/height ratio from 4'6" - 7" 0", I would like to limit my current code - so that it stops if a certain height is reached.

The only code I have so far, is on the first keyframe and follows:
tall.onPress = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
spinner._yscale += 1;
}
}
tall.onRelease = tall.onReleaseOutside = squareButton.onDragOut = function(){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

short.onPress = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
spinner._yscale -= 1;
}
}
short.onRelease = short.onReleaseOutside = short.onDragOut = function(){
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

I will also have two more factors besides height - and it will be weight and sex. I'm hoping that by completing the height portion of the project, it will answer the questions for weight and sex.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE ME SOME PERSPECTIVE on this project? Even vague responses help.

Thanks for your time!

Need Some Step By Step Help
I have 3 scenes. I want the 1st scene to loop until you click on one of two symbols. Depending on which symbol you click determines whether you go to scene 2 or 3.

I have the symbol set for an ACTION but when you click on it, it doesn't take you to the particular scene until scene 1 is done looping once. How can I set the ACTION to move immediately to scene 2 or 3 when clicked?

Also, I want a simple WAV to start in scene 1 and play continuosly regardless of what scene you're in.

Can someone spend some time with me and help me out!?

Thanks

Ok, i have installed flash media server 2 on my pc...I have also created a movie with flash(from my web cam). I have opened the console(of fms2)..now what should I do to send information outside my localhost? (it asks for a server name, server address,username, password)
I have a host somewhere on the internet and I want to acces my video from there, maybe you could guide me through this process (I don't even know what to write in the webpage that should connect to my pc to open the movie..:( ).
By the way where do I need ti have installed fms2? On my pc, on my host or on both of them?

Go Back One Step

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to go back one step - sort of a back button? The problem is the movie is not sequential so back could be anything - I need it to basically "load previous movie"- or "reload previous .swf" ... something like that. New to ac and using Flash 5 - Thanks!!
