How To Make Two Mc Dragable At The Same Time And _x?
this is my test.swf

http://www.scoreportbusiness.com.br/flash/teste1.html

and this is the code:

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
startDrag ("", false, 70, 46, 550, 46);
}
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
setProperty ("_root.verde", _x, "_root.mov._x");
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
stopDrag ();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
flag1 = "";
flag2 = "";

_root.posx = _root.mov._x;
// se estiver na posicao do botao fazer tal acao
if (_root.mov._x > 290 && _root.mov._x < 380) {

if (flag1 eq "") {
flag1 = "sim";
_root.qualbotao = "botao1";
}
}
// se estiver na posicao do botao fazer tal acao
if (_root.mov._x > 204 && _root.mov._x < 281) {
if (flag2 eq "") {
flag2 = "sim";
_root.qualbotao = "botao2";
}
}
}

Ok,

I want to make the green bar go along with the navigation bar, for that I used

setProperty ("_root.verde", _x, "_root.mov._x");

Why doesnt it work?

best regards everybody,

How Much Time & $ To Make This Flash App?
http://www.modernpostcard.com has a postcard creation utility that I'm using as an example for making my own.

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on how much their on-line creation utility would take to make (opinions, of course, based on what it looks like it would take,) and how much developers would normally charge for something like this.

I'm about halfway done with mine, and it's taken me almost 2 months...but then before I started I knew nothing about Actionscripting.

Thanks for any opinions. =)

How To Make Lines Draw Over Time?
I want to make a line grow from a small point to an elaborate design, kind of like the way a lit fuse follows a path.

*Shape tweening doesn't always follow the line directly.
*Motion tweening straight lines is too restrictive, because I need soft corners.
*A mask is too blunt because the line crosses over itself and the rate of draw changes too much with different masks for different sections.

How can it be done? Many thanks.

[CS3] Help How To Make A Butterfly Flap & Fly At The Same Time
Hi, I am working on a website for a client and they wanted to know if I could make a Flash animation of a butterfly flying across the screen while flapping its wings.

I have found a tutorial on how to make wings flap, and I know how to convert the image of the butterfly I want to use into vector art. I've done this, and done the flapping animation by having 3 layers (right wing, left wing, body), then resizing the left and right wings and using motion tween.

But once I get the wings flapping, I can't figure out how to then make the entire butterfly follow a motion guide without the sections separating randomly and generally not doing what I want at all...

Anyone have any tips?

Make Minutes From NetStream.time
Hi

I'm trying to display the time that have been playing in a mediaplayer in Flash.

The thing is that NetStream.time displays the time in seconds.
The problem comes when the time reaches 60 sec and nead to go to minutes.

The goal is that the is displayed this way: 01:34 or 1:09:45.

So my question is: Is there a good wad to display the time this way?

The way I've done it is incorrect.

Code:
private function playerHeadHandler(event:Event):void
{
playerHead.x = movie.str.time / dur * 300;
var timePlayed:int = movie.str.time;

//if(timePlayed.toString().length == 1)
if(timePlayed <= 9)
{
//showTime.text = Math.round(timePlayed).toString();
showTime.text = "00:0" + timePlayed.toString();
}
else if(timePlayed >= 10 && timePlayed <= 60)
{
showTime.text = "00:" + timePlayed.toString();
}
else if(timePlayed > 60)
{
var minute = timePlayed / 60
showTime.text = "0" + minute.toString();
}
}
This is an EnterFrame.

I Can't Make A Call To Server At Second Time
I am working on writing a application with Flash Comm and AMFPHP.

In my application, my flash client make calls to the flash comm server. But when i made the same call at second time , it failed (the first time , the call is working perfect, and the other calls in my application works fine too ).

The code in Flash client is following :

function result(){
this.onResult = function (retVal){
trace("The results is " + retVal);
};
this.onStatus = function(errorVal){
trace("The Error is " + errorVal.code);
};
}
client_nc.call("bonus",new result(),3);

The code in flash comm server is like following :

Client.prototype.bonus = function (bonusType)
{
trace("Bonus request from "+this.username+" "+bonusType);
// .... do something here ....
return true;
}

And the error infomation in the app inspector:

TypeError: object is not a function
App Infomation :Application.Script.Error (level:error)
Failed to execute method (bonus).
App Infomation :Application.Script.Error (level:error)

I am frustrating about this, Any idea ?

Asking The Time, Being Told How To Make An Atomic Clock
Hi all,

I'm having a tough time finding an answer to something, and I think it may be because it's so simple. I'm wanting to simply assign a link value to a button via XML, but the answers I'm getting are for much more complicated things. Here's the problem I'm having:

I have a permanent button in an swf. It currently has no link attribute assigned to it (that's the problem). I have an XML file that contains a spot for the link URL within <link> and </link> tags. Finally, I have a PHP file that provides an easy way to change the link URL in the XML file. The XML is already connected via actionscript and is already pulling in text into dynamic text fields. So, as you can see, everything is in place EXCEPT for knowing how to script the button so that it reads the <link> url in the XML.

Can anyone provide any insight?

My XML code is:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ad>
<header><![CDATA[header]]></header>
<text><![CDATA[this is the text being loaded]]></text>
<link>http://www.thisisthelink.com</link>
</ad>

The actionscript I'm using is from the Kirupa tutorial and is like so:

Code:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
header_txt.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
text_txt.text = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
} else {
trace("file not loaded!");;
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("custom.xml");

Note there's nothing above for the button link since that's what I'm not sure about doing.

As for the button itself, I haven't assigned a getURL yet but am assuming I would do something like:

Code:
onRelease {
getURL('url');
}

and then include "url" somehow in the XML-connect actionscript above?

[F8] Trying To Make An MC Follow The Mouse With Time Delay
Hi there,

I am trying to make a movieclip (called butterfly) follow the mouse on the stage but I don't want the butterfly to move instantly. Ideally I want the movement to be 'softer' with a time delay so that the butterfly takes a bit of time to catch up with the mouse.

I have tried setting the ease and speed but that doesn't seem to give the desired effect. (there's an example of a butterfly tracking the mouse here: http://www.pachalondon.com/home.htm)

Has anyone managed to find a tutorial on this or make it themselves or know which direction I should be heading in? (code (AS2) I have made so far is below)

Thanks!!

followme=true
var speed=10

onEnterFrame=function(){

if(followme==true){
butterfly._x=_xmouse/speed;
butterfly._y=_ymouse/speed;

}else{
butterfly._x=xpos
butterfly._y=ypos
}
}

Can I Make A Function Wait For A Period Of Time?
Hey everyone

I just wanted some idea's on how best to tackle this problem in actionscript.

All I want is that when a button is pressed it fades out the current page and then fades in the new page to be displayed. How ever when trying to fade out the current page i doesn't because it goes to the label and starts to play but the next part of the script tells it to go straight to the label to load the new page. Does anyone have a clever way of making it wait till the current page is faded out?

If worse comes to worse can I just make it wait a set period of time before fading in the new page?

Ive attached a bit of the current code and comment it with where the current page is faded out.

Thanks in advance for any help

function homeClick(event:Event):void {

}

prevPage = "home";

Make One Button Load New Image Each Time Pressed
I have a site for a client who sells dresses. One page has nine thumbnails of dresses and when clicked, loads an external .jpg file into a movie holder.

There may be one to four different large photos for each dresss (front, side, back and detail) and the client only wants one button for the user to click on to cycle through the views for that particular dress.

I need to know the best way to do this. I was thinking a for loop that increments when the button is pressed, but I am not sure how to get back to the start.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

How To Make SWF To Reload From The Start, Every Time User Reload/revist The Page.
Hi,
How can i make my flash SWF file to reload from the start every time when a user visit the site.

Like i dont want it to be saved in cache, i want to reload it from the start every time, because i have seen that once it is saved into cache, it just starts from the cache when we visit the site. So, i dont want it, i want it to reload again and again from the server whenever user visits.

I used the following meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">

But it seems to be not working as the way it should. As when i re-load the page, the preload bar shows 100% loaded.

ANy idea???
