Newbie In Distress
I am trying to creat a small picture slide b4 my main movie plays, its for a Call of Duty introductory movie for my clan. Iv used the flash help file as much as i can but it aint helpin no more.
What i am trying to do is get a mopvieclip to to fade in and fade out after a certain time period has elapsed. I created my mc and inserted it onto the stage. heres my code for the mc:Actionscript
__________________________________________________ ______
onClipEvent (load){
this._x = 0;
this._y = 0;
this._alpha = 0;
time = int(getTimer() / 1000);
ts1 = 0;
ts2 = 9;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if (time >= ts1){this._alpha = this._alpha + 2};
if (time >= ts2){this._alpha = this._alpha - 2};
}
I created a separate mc that displayes the time in seconds that hae passed using: timeshow = int(getTimer() / 1000) add " seconds";
in the first frame with a loop in the second back to first. When i go to play the timer works great but nuthing else happens.
Any Help would be appreciated.
THanks

Another AS Newbie In Distress :(
ok so here it is...
i have hover captions, however, when u click on the button the button is going to move to a new location, in which i will need a different hover button.
maybe i've completely screwed this up but the button is in the same mc and the hover caption is in the same mc. both mc's have been placed where they belong on scene1.
what i wanna do is ask if the button mc is on frame 1, then have the hover mc to gotoAndPlay(2). (that part is actually working just fine). THEN i need to ask when the button mc is on frame 8 to tell the hover mc to gotoAndPlay(11).
Here goes the "code" attempt: ("_plus" is the button and "_more" is the hover)
Code:
on (rollOver) {
if (_root._plus._currentframe < 8) {
_root._more.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
else {
_root._more.gotoAndPlay(11);
}
}
1 Alpha Script + 1 Menu Script = Newbie In Distress
ok, someone has gota help me with this one PLEASE! I've been kicking myself so hard I can't feel it anymore.
Basically, I found this script for moving my menu mc on and off the stage, it works a treat! but I would really like to have my logo mc's alpha fade inline with the menu.
dream result: start off with logo at 10% alpha with menu off the stage at -400.
as cursor moves on to the stage, menu scrolls on (this works fine) and logo fades up to 100% alpha ???
after cursor moves off or stops and the Counter reaches 200, menu scrolls off (this works fine) and logo fades down to 10% ready to go again ???
I've spent hours with:
ActionScript Code:
if (this._alpha > 0) {
this._alpha -= 5;
and
ActionScript Code:
if (this._alpha < 100){
this._alpha += 5;
But just can't figure out were to add them in to the code, here is the script that works fine but if someone can add the alpha changing of the logo (_root.logo.....) that would be a treat.
Stage, Menu instance, Actions:
ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
var hidden = true;
var speed = 9;
var oXPos = 120;
var newXPos = _x;
var myXspeed = 300;
function hideMenu() {
if (!hidden) {
newXPos = -400;
hidden = true;
mouseCounter = 0;
}
}
function showMenu() {
newXPos= oXPos;
hidden = false;
}
hideMenu();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myXspeed = (_x-newXPos)/speed;
_x -= myXspeed;
if (mouseCounter>=200 && !hidden) {
hideMenu();
}
mouseCounter++;
}
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
var mousepos = _root._xmouse;
_root.menuMove(mousepos);
}
Stage, Frame 1, Actions:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
this.menuMove = function(x) {
var mousePos = x;
if (mousePos<=800) {
// Tell menu to show itself
_root.menu.showMenu();
} else if (mousePos>=800) {
// Tell menu to hide itself
_root.menu.hideMenu();
}
}
If anyone gets down here...Thanks in advance!
A Person In Distress
How do can i add multiple swf's in my flash fla so when the viewer wants to see that particular part of my website e.g. profile so the mysite.swf calls profile.swf and a loader bar shows and tells the download % of swf. When loaded the profile.swf loads without cache problems. Plz help me and tell me the actionscript code.
Thanx.
Help A Person In Distress
I have an annoying problem. Hope u guys could help me out.
I have downloaded some text effects from the textfx sections.Now i dont know how to add these in my movies. I was able to change the text , size and font and they looked great in the test movie . But when i tried to export them in .swf and import in my movie intro, nothing appeared except some frames and an image of the first letter. I checked with exporting in .gif and .mov but the same happened. I hope u understand and post some solutions.

Damsel In Distress
I'm a VERY new Flash user. I've had it forever just never used it. I'm a very quick learner but this one is killing me! Here is my delimma I want to make a spider web that changes colors (that I can do) but I want to add a small spider that comes up and writes something in the web. It sounds so simple but I cannot get it to work the way I want it to. Any advice?
Woman In Distress
OK here is my problem...
I have been challenged by this sight. I figured out alot of things on this sight but I am a little rusty in flash. I was given this project from another designer and had to translate most of it from german to english. I am supposed to have the following problems ironed out and uploaded by the end of the week, I have exhuasted all my resources and feel my job is on the line. This is what I have set up:
a parallax navigation setup which set up the site in three levels
a right click navigation
a down arrow key navigation
these in themselves wouldn’t be a problem until you start setting up video and audio files . When you leave the page with a right click, scroll, or down arrow key the sounds from your video/audio files continue to play. What I need is for them to shut off and for the music on the main timeline to activate again.
My client needs to install back buttons to go back one level, the previous designer set a home button in which takes you too far back obviously.
We also need to jump over to other pages on the same level in a few instances, again not an obvious maneuver.
And we need a line of text to go to destinations to go to the second level, we have icons above that do that but the client wants the text navigations in place as well.
The main timeline is in two frames. The as in the first frame is something like this:( I translated the comments from German to English as good as I could).

WHITEBOARD (FCS) In Distress
Hi,
copy and paste this url in your browser to gt an idea what I am talking about!
http://129.21.238.166:81/flashcom/ap...tam/test1.html
Please have a look here so that you can get a precise idea what is
happening; May be you can tell me exactly WHY does this occur?
Open two separate windows in your browser and see what happens
when you draw a line with either tool in your window and check into
the other window as well.
1) when you draw with the pencil, in your window it is fine, but you
do get a line across from origin into the other window of the
browser.
2) When you draw with the pen tool first and thne with teh pencil
tool. In your window, it appears fine but you can still see the line
across from origin in the other window.
3) When you select the pencil tool first, and then take the pen tool,
you get the extra line from origin, in addition to the another straight
line joining the origin to where the pencil line ends.
Please clarify, if possible. This is depressing enough.

LoadMovie Distress
Hello
I did this once before and it worked a while back, but now wont and i cant remember what did the trick.
I want to load a couple of flash movies into a base movie with an empty movie clip in it.Unless there is a better way. I am going to be making an interactive cd-rom with these movies and am trying to keep file size down, and loading externally should help?
But its just not happening. Does anyone know of an easy tutorial for a semi newbie using loadMovie or another good method ?
I would be most grateful.
thanks ann
Buttons, Movie Distress...
hi
is there anyway to bend a text to fit to the edge of a circle in Flash 5?
how do i get a button to play a certain movie and display other buttons that can play another movie? say hitting button A would play you a movie and buttons B,C,D appearing. Upon hitting, these buttons play an exclusive movie. how?
i'm confused. also, how do you get movies to play on a common workspace? like you roll over button 1, something comes out on Space x. you roll over button 2, it plays on space x too. of course, there won't be the animation from button 1.
thank you
hope i am clear...=)

>> Damsel In Distress AttachSound Platform Woes<<
I have created a separate .swf containing a nifty function to attach the looping soundtrack for my movie.
I found this thru a tute called "Creating a preloader for use with the attachSound command" by flashGuru.
My main movie loads the soundtrack and plays wonderfully when the function is called via a button -- but only on the pc... and my client is on a mac!

Gibbosniper Vs Munkie Or Newbie Vs Newbie
Ok Gibbosniper,
This is the start of the thread, for our contest of Newbies brains in action. Let us set a time limit of sorts, and go from there.
Again, I am far from an MX master, I just started just over a week ago, so it might take a while for me to produce something worthy of public display, but if you are patient, so am I.
Game on!
Munkie!
Keyboard Control-for A Very Newbie Newbie
I was wondering if there is a simple way to control flash animations when
pressing a key on the keyboard. Example: Scene 1 is an animation of a
circle, this scene will continue to loop until I press the 'f' key, and
then the flash movie will change to Scene 2 where we see the circle
explode. I looked around flashkit.com and found some tutorials, but I
think they used an earlier version of flash, because I can't find the
instance properties in order to change the action from mouse click to key
press. I own flash professional 8. Anyway, I can use as much help as I
can get, so if you know of an action parameter in which I can execute
this...action, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time!

Newbie Asking A Newbie Question
Thanks for looking at my post. I am very new to Flash and I want to make a simple movie withsome text. I know how to insert text and customize it, but I wanted to know how I could jazz it up a bit. Add some effects to it. I was wondering if anyone could help show me how to make it shine, or glimmer, or glow, or something of tht sort, you know? You know on the Ultrashock logo when you put your mouse over it, it shines? I wanna know stuff like that. Can anyone help? Is there a tutorial or we page I can go to? Thanks in advance, and thanks for looking even if you can't help...
AS NEWBIE NEEDS SERIOUS HELP
i got a problem, ive made buttons which grow bigger when the user roll overs they 'bonce up' and when the user rolls off they bonce back down ;
i made MC and on that i placed this code:
-------------
onClipEvent (load) {
mc2 = 100;
// initialise _xscale.
friction = 0.8;
ratio = 0.3;
speed = 0;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (mc2 != this._xscale) {
speed = (speed*friction)+(mc2-this._xscale)*ratio;
this._xscale += speed;
this._yscale += speed;
}
}
---------------------
and in side of this movie clip is a graphic in one layer and an invisable button on another layer, on the invisable button i placed this code.
-----------------
on (rollOver) {

Help A Newbie
Ok, I'm pretty new to Flash and I have what I think is a Newbie question. I've looked around the site and can't find an answer, so... here we go:
I'm trying to make a small movie for the bottom corner of a webpage - a team signature to be exact. I'd like to use 3 pictures(jpegs), text and some motion tweening - pretty basic.
I traced the images and converted them to symbols. The symbols now look more like a painting than a picture and that is fine.
What I am wondering is if there is a way to determine how big a symbol is when it is converted? My movie ended up being about 78k, which is way to big for such a small piece of a page - about 200px X 200px.
Also, is there a better technique that I am not aware of for what I am doing?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

Hi, I'm a newbie, I do not know if there is a fee for Flash5 and Since I'm only 12, I don't think I can pay something over $30. If you can help me make a couple of games for my website, it would be worth more to me than a few golden bars. Post ?'s here.

I've got an image to move left and right using some buttons, which works fine.
I've got the picture behind a mask/frame so that you can only see part of it at any one time and i want to make sure that when it reaches one side it stops before the image edge is viewable.
I'm a bit new to this so any help is appreciated.

my movie contains two sounds.
sound 1 is about 20 seconds long and is some kind of an intro.
sound 2 is just about 5 seconds long, but it should be looped over and over, for keeping the movie size small.
the actionsscript of the first frame is:
s = new Sound();
s.attachSound("mySound");
s.start();
"mySound" is the first sound clip; (i chose "link" in the right-mouse-click menue and the i exported the original file with the new name "mySound")
but now i m stuck. how can i tell flash to start sound 2 exactly in the moment when sound 1 stops? and how can it be looped?
i would be glad about every idea! thank you!

Hi,
I've just started to use Flash today (no previous experience in Flash, complete and utter newbie), I've been reading the tutorials for a few days and today I decided to try a few of them and see how I go.
I have a specific question relating to the "Dissolve Effect". My only problem is I am having trouble with changing the Alpha down to 0%. When I do, it changes the specific letter to 0% from start to finish, although I only have the last keyframe (which happens to be keyframe 40) selected when I change the alpha percentage.
What could be causing this problem? I'm completely stuck, it either doesn't have a fade out/dissolve effect at all or the entire word is transparent (at 0% Alpha).
Any help would be appreciated, basically all I need to know is how to change the alpha to 0% for just that final keyframe so that the motion tween slowly fades each letter out.
Thanks in advance
NEWBIE HELP PLEASE
I am looking to do something that I think should be realatively easy. I want to do a object to word shape tween. The only problem is I am looking for a object that is a box going down a conveyor that changes into a company name. Any pointers or tut's would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello everyone, I am using Flash MX.
A quick question. I am trying to do a simple animation where a character changes the channel on a tv and between channels go fuzzy.
I have designed the main movie and the fuzzy movie to play in between channels. However, I don't know how to make the "fuzzy" movie play and then stop to go on to the next channel. Does this make sense?
Thanks in advance.

Hello guys,
I have used your genious several times to help me out, and now there is a problem that I just can't figure out. Within a flash site I've made, you click a button, it brings in full motion a second window, that I wanted to have a scroll window in. I created a second flash movie of the scroll window that is very interactive, both work great, but when I try to get the scrollbar to work in the window, it won't. Please help please help.
