Flash :: Modify > Frame , Nope?

Modify Frame Rate Of Loaded Movie
Hi everyone,

I have a main portfolio interface movie on which I'm loading a bunch of old projects.

I realized that one of the old project has been created in 15 frames per second to sync up with voice over and the main parent movie is at 35 fps.

It's going to be too much work to go back and modify the old movie since there are a lot of animations according to the sound.

Is there anyway you can control the frame rate of loading movie so that it will play at the original fps and not affected by main hosting movie frame rate?

Nope
sorry... not possible....

-Ryan

Nope
mods delete this -sorry

Nope...
The site doesn't work nor does he respawn to my emails I send. Not sure whats going on with him.

Is It NiN? Nope It's Just NaN ;/
Hi buddies.
Well please don't shout on me as the problem I've got probably has already been solved, I have analysed all of those posts and none of them helped me although the problem seems to be similar...
So here it is:
THE TEXT FILE:

Code:
number=3
NOW THE AS:

Code:
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.load("text.txt");
lv.onLoad = function()
{
trace(this.number); // shows 3 - OK
trace(Number(this.number)); // shows 3 - OK
var num = Number(this.number);
trace(num); // shows 3 - OK
}
trace(num); // shows 'undefined' - BAD
trace(lv.num); // shows 'undefined' - BAD
trace(_root.lv.num); // shows 'undefined' - BAD
trace(number); // shows 'undefined' - BAD
trace(lv.number); // shows 'undefined' - BAD
trace(_root.lv.number); // shows 'undefined' - BAD
as you can see I think all combinations have been used, but the variable remains 'undefined', what to do to make it work outside the onLoad function?

and here is other similar problem:

Code:
loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);
num = Number(number);
trace(num); // shows NaN - Not a Number
Anybody knows how to make it work?
Please help!!
Thanks.

Nope
That didn't change it. For anyone out there here is the zip file with the .fla file

Nope It Dont Work....
ok i thought the code would work
but i need it to be an instruction
to a particular movieclip.

for instance the code would be in a button instance
and when the button is clicked it tells the movieclip
to fade out. Thats it.

im thinking along the lines of

on (rollOut, DragOut){
with (MC1) {

//this is the part that i need help with eg the code
to make the MC fade out to nothing, i reckon theres a loop operator in here some where..

}

Please please help!!!

Functor - Nope I Didn't Make It Up...
Reading through some of the Flash class while working on a big project I came across a new term for me, functor: a function that creates functions. Now we're onto something great. So my hope is to write a master function that can create seperate functions for seperate objects at runtime. For example:

Object a moves to b and changes into c. <= YES I'M BUILDING A FUSE array for 1000+ objects how did you guess??

So I want everything to push the variables through dynamic array.

example:

Code:
a = [1,2,3,4,5];
b = [location1, location2, location3];
c = [5,4,3,2,1];

function functorlicious():Void{

function newName():Object{
var name:Object = new Object("something"+a+b);
return name;
}

for(i=0;i<=a.length;i++){
function newName():Void{
a.moveTo(x:b, y:b, 1, blah, blah, blah, function:c);
}
}

}
of course this doesn't work because the syntax is wrong the function "newName" just keep being over-written by the new code but I'm serious about figuring this out if it can be done in flash and I get 1 step closer to conquering the world with 10 lines of code. Anyone tried this kind of thing yet?

Much love, Big O.

External Interface> Local = Ok Server = Nope
Hi, guys!

A interesting problem:

I have a function on my fla that executes many things. All these things depends of a number parameter.

Ok. No problem with this. But now I must call this function through a html link at the same flash´s page.

So, my way is the External Interface class.

When I try it at my local pc, everything is great. But when I upload it, it stops working!

The flash code:

Quote:

// importing the flash external interface:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
// the function:
function pedirAnunciante(codigoAnunciante) {
// many codes here....
}
// the addCallBack method:
ExternalInterface.addCallback("pedirAnunciante", this, pedirAnunciante);

The HTML code:

Quote:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Help Modify
Hey

I am using an awesome scrolling dynamic text movie that I found here:

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...92/index.shtml

The only problem is that I'm trying to use html text within the scroll. When I do that, the scroll then stops working properly.

Can anyone give me some help as to how I can use this with html text?? Or maybe guide me to a similar one??

Thanks!!

Help Me Modify RGB
I want to set the colours of normColour and atColour on the main timeline so if they change I can modify them all at once but cannot seem to get it to work... can anyone help??

Cheers in advance Oll

onClipEvent (load) {
atcolour = "FF0000";
normColour = "009933";
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
trace([i]);
trace("ox"+[i]);
if (_root.curFile=="02") {
i = [atColour];
myColorObject = new Color(this);
myColorObject.setRGB("ox"+[i]);
} else {
i = [normColour];
myColorObject = new Color(this);
myColorObject.setRGB("ox"+[i]);
}
}

Modify This
i'm having trouble modifying this code to work in a different way.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
elasticScale(1000, 0.8, 0.1);
} else {
elasticScale(80, 0.8, 0.03);
}
}

the above code lives on the MC and calls elasticScale function when i rollover the MC, but i want to link it to the timeline without the mouse effect. Hence when i reach a certain frame it calls the function to the MC target?

any ideas i cant see this being too complicated yet i still cant work it out!!!

Modify Right-click
Hello --

I've seen several sites where they disable the tools that you can get when you right-click on a flash object, like Zoom and such. So when you right-click, all you see is the link "About Macromedia Flash 5" or something like that. For example, the little box of flash animation in the upper-right corner of http://www.expn.com

Does anyone know how to do that?

thanks for your time,
Brig.

Modify Properties
I have many problems in manipulating properties of objects that are inside buttons. For example, when I want a simple menu with buttons that are "marked" when clicked (to show what topic from the menu is being accessed), like "visited".
- I could use a movieclip, but I don't know how to set mouse events for it. Is it possible?
- I thought that I could use a variable to indicate while a button (topic) is being visited. (I don'd want to indicate it in some other way - with objects outside the button).... i only want to do something like to change the color of the button text and undo this change when another button is clicked (indicating that, at that time, another topic from the menu is being accessed)

could anybody help me, please ??
thanks,
Leandro

Modify Jigsaw
I downloaded the "Jigsaw Puzzle with Timer" by porter235 from the Games / Full Game Source section.

I would like to modify it to use my own images, and hopefully a higher quality image. I tried just replacing the image it is using with what I thought was another of the same size, but when tested mine shows as being much larger.

Could anyone tell me how to edit this Flash to use my own images? I would like to use images that are 400x300, but if I have to use the same size as in the original I can.

Modify Document
I need some help here. I have a file that has a number of scenes in it and the document now needs to be a larger size. When I modify the document in FlashMX the contents of the file are in the top left of the document...

How do I get the larger version of the content to CENTER on the stage? I cant just select all and use the alignment because there are multiple layers and everything would re-arange.

Is there a preference that I cand find to automatically center the contents when a modification takes place? Please let me know. Thanks.

Need To Modify The Script....
Hi,
I have attached a FLA, in this actionscripting movie, i want to modify a little bit, but do not understands how to do it. Before proceeding let me tell you that i am not an expert in Actionscripting. Neither i am an scripting user. I just use codes from their authors and use them onto my movies for educational purposes.

What i actually want to do here is that, i want to create a CORRECT and WRONG kind of game for kids, in which kids have to drag an image to its correct name or place. If a kid dragged that image onto the wrong name or place, a MC plays which indicates that the user has dragged it onto the wrong place AND IT A KID dragged an image onto the correct name or place then a MC plays indicating that the user has done the correct thing.

A file is attached here and i want you guys to please take a look at it, this file was made by one of my friend, who accidently cannot work further onto it. Therefore i need assistance from you guys, please take a look at it and try to make it enhance.

Your support and help me highly appreciated.

Modify Menu In MX Pro
I have searched thru the MX Professional help for what the Modify menu applies to. In particular I cannot get the Arrange > <commands> from the Modify menu to do anything. IE: Bring to Front - What exactly is it supposed to bring to the front? The Layer? The Symbol? What? This is making me feel really really stupid, but I usually fly thru new programs and Flash MX Pro is just a complex sucker.

I have on occasion been able to get the Align feature to work and it will bring a symbol in alignment chosen with respect to the stage, but other than that the other functions are just not working for me. I'm sure its me and that I'm using them wrong, but it would be nice to have someone tell me who's used the product a lot more. Thanks. Feel free to flame me as long as you answer the questions.

Anybody Able To Modify This Code For Me?
Hey guys,
Had alot of hits on the other post but it wasnt responded to so i think i was asking too much from you all,

i realise you have lives unlike me (always working)

could someone please be able to do two(or one thing if you can)
1. in the following code

choice = Math.round(Math.random()*2);
switch (choice) {
case 0 :
location.loadMovie("image0.swf");
break;
case 1 :
location.loadMovie("image1.swf");
break;
case 2 :
location.loadMovie("image2.swf");
break;
}

could anyone tell me how to count how many swf there are in a target folder

and putting the value in like this
choice = Math.round(Math.random()*ValueCalledin);

instead of listing all the files and

2. set a limited time for that swf to play before it calls in the next random swf

im my very unexpert like way i thought (im a total AS beginner) that the script may look something like this

this.location = "Myfolder/";
choice = Math.round(Math.random(".swf")*value);
switch (choice) {
case random :
this.location.loadMovie(".swf");

for the first bit, i dont know lol
dont laugh too hard at my attempt lol

Modify Scroll Help
Hello,

I downloaded this .fla from Flashkit. I want to modify it so I can use it to have my whole website scroll. But I need it to only move left/right when you get close to the edges, the problem I am having is I put item on but when I test the movie and try to use a scrollbar for instance, it slides off screen. I was wondering if someone can help??

I would be very greatful!

I hope you understand what I mean, I just need it to move left or right only when you get close to the edges of the document. It seems as if the document is spilt in half now, and just the futher one way you go the faster it goes.

Thanks!

Modify Scroll?
Hello,

I could really use some help!! I am making a website for a friend and I am trying to make a little different type navigation than the normal.

So I found a horizontal thumbnail scroll .fla and I am starting to modify it to make my entire site scroll. Now, right now it is set up to scroll left or right based on if you are on the left hand or rigth hand side of the screen. The movie is divided in 1/2.

I was wondering if their would be a wonderful person out there who could modify my movie (because I don't know how to do this) to make it so the movie is divided in 1/4. As in, if you are on the far 1/4 left of the screen, it will move left, if you are on the far 1/4 right hand side, it moves right. And if you are in the middle 2/4 of the movie, it does NOT move.

Can anyone help me? I would be VERY VERY greatful!

How To Modify This Function
Hi guys. I use the following function to make a few mc's visible on the stage with a setInterval.
Code:
function showClips() {
if (clips.length) {
clips[0]._visible = true;
clips.splice(0, 1);
} else {
clearInterval(id);
}
updateAfterEvent();
}
var clips = [];
var index = 0;
while (index++<15) {
var clip = eval("thump_"+(index<10 ? "0" : "")+index);
clip._visible = false;
clips.push(clip);
}
var id = setInterval(showClips, 1000);
This way the clips appear with a intervalof one second untill all are visible.
Attached is the zip. What i want is that they appear using a fade function instead of _visible. and that the entire process start all over again when all are faded in!

Anybody an idea?

Thanks in advance

Modify Document? Help Pls?
Ok, i realized that after i exported my .swf file there was too much empty white space around the actual animation and that white (transparent) space was screwing my resizing up because the extra space was acting as padding in HTML.

SO i tried to modify the document to try to hug the edges of my animation.

i resized it and it cut away the height from the BOTTOM of the image and left me with this problem:
screenshot.jpg

Anyways..i figured "ok ill just move my animation up into the white space....but i cant really cuz i need to move every frame the same amount and i cant find a way to grab ALL the contents of my flash file and move it at the same time....

any ideas on how to make the empty space "hug" my actual content so it doesent throw off my webpage when i embed the .swf into an html table?

(the html thinks the .swf file is way larger in height than just the actual content, because of the white space around my animation)

There...i think thats understandable enough..i know its a crappy explanation.

Any help appreciated,

Luke
