Flash :: Holy Crap. This Is Frustrating.

Holy Crap
holy crap!!! (as title reads).. i'm tryin to make a VERY simple flash web site, yet i keep finding myself running into the same problem:

LINKING PAGES in FLASH IS SOOO HARD AND TIME CONSUMING! I have to make a friggin copy of the original swf, deal with the over-sensitive bugs that always appear (SYMBOLS!!! DIE!!!), make changes to both when i make changes to teh first, then i keep running into continuous actionscript! Why is Flash so complicated for such small things? Please someone give me advice.. I was somewhat familiar with Flash 5, but MX does it so much harder and complex! Am I doing something wrong? Anyone please got some TUTORIAL SITES that I can go to and learn various things? My project is not going anywhere I've been working on it for the past 6 hours.

I'm contemplating using swish.. but I really think I should learn Flash.. I feel like Macromedia has turned EVERY aspect of Flash into a 12 hour long task. Does this get any simpler or am I normal in feeling I have to go the EXTREME LONG WAY in everything?

Help Xml Arrays Crap Junk Crap
got a problem i've been working on for a while. cant seem to get anything to work.
my xml:

Code:
<body>
<nav id="corp">
<client name="ALA">
<section url="test1.html" image="images/1.jpg">info</section>
<section url="test2.html" image="images/2.jpg">info</section>
</client>
<client name="AISC">
<section url="test1.html" image="images/1.jpg">info</section>
<section url="test2.html" image="images/2.jpg">info</section>
</client>
</nav>
</body>
so, i generate some buttons for the client nodes. then, i have a function
that generates more buttons if the main buttons are pressed.

Code:
function clientGen() {
for (var i = 0; i<client_xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
_root.blankMC.attachMovie("client", "client"+i, i);
client = _root.blankMC["client"+i]
client._x = 272 + client._width*i;
client._y = 256;
client.param_txt = i;
client.name_txt = client_xml.childNodes[i].attributes.name;
client._alpha = 0;
j = 0;
client.onEnterFrame = fadeIn;
client.onRelease = function() {
trace(client_xml.childNodes[0].childNodes);
for (var i = 0; i<client_xml.childNodes[0].childNodes.length; i++) {
_root.mc_buttons.attachMovie("button", "button"+i, i);...
see. it's messed up. i need to be able to change that 0 to whatever 'i' is. 0 works and takes me to the right spot, but i need that to be 1,2,3 etc for the rest of the main buttons.

onClipEvent (load) {
moveSpeed = 4;

Why In The High Holy.... Please Help
I call the following main timeline function from a frame inside map_mc which is on the main timeline. On the same frame as the call to this function are my three buttons, button11_mc, button12_mc etc... On the main timeline i also have an array of frame labels defined (diningBarsArray)

function setupDiningBars() {
var i;
for (i=0; i<3; i++) {
diningBarsButton = i+11;
map_mc["button"+diningBarsButton+"_mc"].onRelease = function() {
map_mc.gotoAndPlay(diningBarsArray[i]);
};
}
}

I've written many for loops like this that work just fine, as long as the buttons they are defining the onRelease event for are also on the main timeline, but must it be this way? I can't get this to work for buttons that are nestled inside a movieclip! What happens is, all the buttons gotoAndPlay whatever the last loop tells it to

Thankyou kindly

Holy Cache Batman
Hi,

I have a problem and would want to know if anyone has a solution. A .swf i have on a page links to an .xml file for some data but it seems that IE and i assume Netscape are keeping the original xml document in the cache and so my updated files never get refrenced. It seems like this would be a common problem at one point in time. Any help even just a link to the same question elsewhere on the forums would be great.

HOLY COW WHATS WRONG WITH MY Swf?
So I am making a game, and it works perfectly when I preview it in flash mx.

When I publish it and run it in a web browser, it slows down in performance. I do not know the exact Frames Per Second it is decreasing, but I can tell it does.

In flash mx the game is set at 60fps. Any idea why the performance decreases? Even when I publish it at low quality it looks like poo but it runs slowly in a few animations, and in an area where your score gets added up really quickly.

Like if you have 1000 points it adds like 2 at a time to make it look like your score is scrolling up like 2,4,6,8,10.........

Any ideas

For The Love Of All That Is Holy IE Cant Find .swf
Hey guys im about to lose my ever fragile mind if i cant get this thing to work.
Basically i have a flash web page with 2 movie clips inside and a button that goes something like this:

on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay("over");
}
on (rollOut) {gotoAndPlay("out");
}
on (release) {
_root.mainmovie.boardcontent.loadMovie("board_mayh emfish.swf");
_root.mainmovie.closeswf.gotoAndPlay(2);
_parent._parent.boardmov._visible = false;
}

not too complicated as i have a blank movie clip called boardcontent that loads and external swf board_mayhemfish.swf now this works perfectly in flash when i test it but the moment i upload it the board_mayhemfish.swf cant be found. Now one would assume thats because i dont have the right path so ive tried directly putting where it resides which was:

_root.mainmovie.boardcontent.loadMovie(http://www.explicitmedia.com/clients...mayhemfish.swf);

now if i click on that direct link i just put in it takes me to the SWF fine but for some reason the flash file cant find it or doesnt load it. Anyway im out of ideas and any fresh ones would be great.

Thanks,
Chris

Holy Mother Of My Sanity
This is driving me absolutely crazy! I can't figure this out for the life of me!

I know it's a simple solution, but I can't find it to save my life! I'm going crazy here... I've been trying to solve it for hours!

Anyways, I have a very very very simple animation and I want to create a "shine" effect in the middle (frame 484) between the growing and the shrinking. So I created a mask and a shine gradient and the mask is supposed to mask the gradient to make it shine, but it doesn't work! I've tried many many things and can't seem to get it to work.

It works fine if I paint a new mask, but that's not the right shape. I don't understand why this one isn't working. I've tried breaking the symbols apart, but that doesn't work either. I've tried changing the line thickness... I've tried changing the line type... Nothing!

anyone, someone! Please. I don't understand why it's not working!

Holy Projector File, Batman...
Hi friends.

Ok.....

I need to prepare a projector version of a website for a client, which she wants delivered on a CD-rom. The orginal site has a master.swf file referencing dozens of other .swf movies and preloaders. I really, really don't want to have to burn her a cd with a folder with one projector file and a huge list of other random .swf files all in the same folder, and I also really, really, really don't want to have to go in and build the site again, all self-contained in one single movie. Can I:

a) put all the files except the main projector file in a folder called data, then somehow tell the projector file to reference that sub-foler,

--==OR==--

b) can I somehow publish the whole kit-n-kaboodle as one single consolidated projector file?

Thanks so much for your time,

Meeg

[F8] Holy Invisible Feilds, Batman
Okay, this one's tricky.

I'm making what is essentially a presentation SWF that pulls data from an XML.

it's got some quirky animation here and there but ultimately it revolves around 6 symbols (or rather 6 instances of 1 symbol) each with a different name, and each with a field within it.

The field is set to trace a variable (local to the symbol) and the outside stage sets that variable (via instance.variable_name) from data provided to it from the XML.

Here's the tricky part. The field never displays the data. At first I thought it might not be getting it (I am using a sort of complicated method for putting the data there) but when I trace instance.field.text it outputs the correct data. I also thought it might have something to do with that layer not drawing properly (perhaps the nearby masking layer was affecting it) so I tried drawing a simple box on top of the field (same layer) and it drew just fine.

It's probably something to do with the actual symbol not updating it's draw or something complicated like that, if you have any idea how to get by this it'd be awesome = thanks

EDIT: I guess it's also worth pointing out that I've tried putting in initial text by hand (sans-action script) and it didn't show up either. I then went so far as to make ANOTHER dynamic text field, give it no trace, and just initial text, it didn't show up either... static, however, did show up

[MX Or 8]Holy Mackerel .flv Crashing Browser HELP
Wow. wow. wow.

Just found a major boo boo with my fla. when I went live with it. The swf. is of a little drive in movie theater that plays 3 different films as .flv's. It seems to work great, movies load in, play, you can stop them, start other movies playing in the middle, leave anytime you want. Perfect!

Until...

You leave the movie theater, and try to come back. [i.e. load and unload the drive-in.swf]

As soon as you come back and try to play a .flv, firefox says " If you wish Flash Player to contiue this scrip your computer may become unresponsive. Do you wish to abort this scrip? YES NO" if you choose yes, the time line starts playing over and over and over, kinda funny-- in a sickening way. If you choose No, it really does lock up...

Here is the link online: http://www.chewycafe.com/phaseII/
you can skip the intro with the link in the lower right and then choose "movies" at the prompt. start playing any movie, then go back to chewyville and then choose "movies" again at the promp and try to play another movie or the same one... careful, it will shut you down...

I will link the .fla in MX here in a second

I have scoured this board and the net for "unload .flv" but that does not seem to be the answer...

Ideas? Suggestions? THANKS!!!!!

Function Engine. My Personal Holy Grail
For those of you who are into actionscript as pure science

Here is gen one of my holy grail functionEngine.

This is the deal. I built a function engine that stores the function to execute, and the associated data. The problem is, I don't know what you are putting into the engine, it may be a BC.. it might not. So I have to give you a way to call your own destructor. If you want to call removeMovieClip then go ahead. Lets look at the code example:

_root.attachMovie("FunctionEngine","FOO", 600); (fudge 600.. fix later)

FOO.attachEngine();
FOO.AddEngineFunction("_root.hello","Ian",false,"_ root.Goodbye");
FOO.AddEngineFunction("_root.hello","Fred",false," _root.Goodbye");
FOO.StartEngine();
stop();

I stated earlier that I needed an engine.. so in the FLA u will see that bc. Here I attach the FunctionEngine to _root, and YOU specify that engines name (keep in mind you may want to run several engines at once). You do this with the line:

root.attachMovie("FunctionEngine","FOO", 600);

We know that attachMovie actually creates and instance of your library movie. In this case.. we call it FOO. (note that the engine mc on frame 1 is a stop())

next, I call the MC.prototype .attachEngine(). What we are doing is creating an array to store the function/data/engine-structure. We also need an index to point to the function we are currently executing.

Looking at the next line:
FOO.AddEngineFunction("_root.hello","Ian",false,"_ root.Goodbye");

Here we want to add a function to our list that we called "hello" and pass it the string "Ian". The next parameter false says, do not call a custom destructor. (If it were true, I would execute your destructor)

Last but not least, I call FOO.StartEngine(); which sets the engine in motion. The function will continue to execute as long as their are functions to execute.

Now, what's really gonna bake your noodle later on, is when you realize that if your function returns true.. then I know a condition which you have defined has been met. If it's false I assume you are not done yet and stay parked on your function and continue to execute it until you return me true

For instance, your function counts frames and you don't return true until say 50 frames has passed (like a pause function maybe?).

Anway... here it is for decipherin. I have tried to keep it clean.. but you the engine fans have to tell me what you think.

http://www.nebulouscore.com/examples/funcengine.fla

Peace!!!!!!

ps. This is HOT off the press so I expect some revisions... but I am always open to discussion... unless of course you piss me off .lol.

Oh Crap
i need a little help on something. i have a darts game, and im having trouble with the ammo. so i have a background picture and all that good stuff, and then i have a layer for the target. the target moves, for example it gets bigger and smaller with a tween. at the end of the last frame of the tween, i have a gotoandplay to go to the start of the tween. it loops till the player hits the target or runs out of ammo. now i have a layer for the ammo, which is dynamic text and blah blah blah, and on the first frame of the tween i have the action
ammo="3"
when the player throws the dart, the ammo goes down 1. but heres the problem:
if i shoot and miss, the ammo goes to 2. but then once the tween is over, (the tween is less than a second)the ammo goes back to 3. how do i get it to stay where it was at? thanks.

My Text Looks Like Crap
hey folks.

ok, i've got a company logo and some contact information in my flash document, both rather small in size. i tried creating jpegs in photoplop and importing them and placing them on the proper layer, etc, but they just don't look sharp--especially when the player window is resized (this is a projector, not a web site). so i decided to re-do the logo in flash and re-do the text for the contact info in flash too (go vector!!). the font is avante garde, 12pt and smaller. it looks aliased and crappy and blocky. perhaps i don't have the font installed correctly on my computer? is avante garde one of those fonts that flash doesn't like to display nice'n'smoothly? can flash just not display really small font sizes clearly? i know it's hard to comment without seeing a sample--so i will try to fashion one and post it here ASAP, but in the meantime, any insights would be greaty appreciated. thanks.

Bitmap CRAP
So I have built a virtual golf course tour, and I built a frame for it using a *.png, and even though I turn Image compression off, it is still chopping the frame. Please take a look, http://www.qozmiq.com/flashkit.html# and notice the black frame the has a inner curve to it. As this was a *.png, the inside of the frame was transparent, thus making it a frame. The inner curve of such, on the left near the navagation, is getting butchered. When I look at it in Flash, the curve is perfect. I turn off Compression, it still appears. I made the frame an graphic symbol, and a movie clip, still producting the jagged inner edge...Any ideas? I appreciate any time anyone can give to this...

Hey, i have been working on flash for awhile, but i just started using png files with alpha channels, and everytime i publish them in a flash file they get a jagged pixel looking effect if viewed on particular machines, the site i am working on is not near done but check (www.troyblank.com) and look at the orange, my tube monitor with 256mb graphic card makes it look smooth without any jaggedness, the plasma screen with a close to identical 256mb card at work makes it look slightly jagged, i have no idea what is the cause of this, has anyone else experienced this?
