Flash :: Numbers Into Words

Creating A Preloader With Words Instead Of Numbers
Hey everyone -

Can someone please help me out with creating a preloader that displays the numbers spelled out instead of the actual numbers?

Example

"one"
"two"
"three..."

instead of

"1"
"2"
"3..."

Below is the code that I have for a number version.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()+_root.holder_mc.g etBytesTotal())/1024;
loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()+_root.holder_mc. getBytesLoaded())/1024;
percent = Math.round((loaded/total)*100);
text = percent+"%";
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("play");
}
}

THANKS!

Converting Words And Letters Into Numbers
as a newby on the forum i would like to ask you if you could help me out.

I need to convert a many paged document into numbers.

logicly a=1, b=2, ..z=26 & 1=1, 2=2, etc..
the numbers of the letters need to be seperated by comma's

and the spaces between words must be replaced by dashes

so for example:
"i am crazy for doing this" should look like this:

"9-1,13-3,18,1,26,25-6,15,18-4,15,9,14,7-20,8,9,19"

does anyone know of a script that will take up to 500 words per conversion, or does anyone know a application that will be able to do this? unlimited amount of words would even be better.

Thanx in advance,
Raoul

Converting Numbers To Numbers With Numerical Separators
So if I return 10000 as a number in flash, how can I convert it to 10,000?

or, 1000 - 1,000

or 1000000 - 1,000,000

These numbers are generated by a complicated math formula, so they can be ANY number...

Is there no way of doing this in Flash???

Actions For Numbers Between Two Numbers
I am trying to make a movie duplicate, and I got it all, EXCEPT, I want it to move over and line up in colums when the screen gets full going down. I started out with _y position = i*25, and that worked, but when it gets to the end of the screen I want it to do this y position= (i-15)*25 and x position = 250; could get that far... the problem is when it gets to the bottom the second time i need to do y position= (i-15)*25 and x position = 250 between 16 and 30, and the next "column" to be between 31 and 45 etc.

on (release) {
setProperty (_root.myMc, _visible, 0);
do {
duplicateMovieClip (MyMc, "MyMc"+i, i);
set (_root.myMc.i, _root.i);
_root["myMC"+i].minus = String(i);
i = i+1;
} while (i<=num);
}

Problems With My Words
Hello to all,
First, I am a new user of Swish. I have spent about four hours working on my first movie. It looks good and I was even able to publish it to Frontpage and the animation is working fine. The problem I am having is when I view the movie with swish all my words, fonts, and actions are working but when I view it in a browser or in frontpage the letters of the words are changed to jibberish words (the fonts are the same) and the color is removed from all my pics (black & white). What am I doing wrong?
Please help! I plan to use this as the intro to my website. http://www.members.cox.net/delre (if anyone would like to check it out in the future)
Any info will help.
Thanks!
Monica

Not Sure How To Describe This In One Or Two Words....
does anyone know how do the following (i've seen it before, so i know it's possible):

i'd like to make a movie that fills the full width/height of my browser window. inside of the movie is a repeating pattern that in turn, fills the browser window.

also inside of that movie, my main content movie is loaded. this content movie is a FIXED width and height and even though the outer movie with the background pattern stretches to fill the full browser window, i cannot allow the loaded in movie to resize. it should just remain centered in the browser.

any ideas? much thanks...

Emerging Words
Hello All,

So I've got a challenge (or not) for you all. I've been looking all over online and I haven't found a similar flash animation so perhaps you guys can help. I'm trying to make a simple Flash movie where words seem to randomly fade-in or emerge from a white background. It is a list of words that appear and disappear in different locations. I already seem to have the code to make words appear randomly, but there is one hitch to this initial part. Since I'm using .addchild everytime it loops instead of starting from a clear screen the back begins to clutter up with words.
Here is the code for what I've got:

var t = this.addChild(new word());
for(var i:int=0;i<1;i++) {
t.x = Math.random()*450;
t.y = Math.random()*400;
t.dx = Math.round(Math.random()*450);
t.dy = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
t.scaleX = Math.random()*2;
t.scaleY = t.scaleX;
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
}
function mover() {
this.x += (this.dx-this.x)/3;
this.y += (this.dy-this.y)/3;
if(Math.round(this.x) == this.dx) {
this.dx = Math.round(Math.random()*450);
this.dy = Math.round(Math.random()*400);
}
}

To begin with: 1. Any ideas how to delete the instance of the symbol at the beginning of every loop?
2.How do you fade-in symbols?

Thanks for your help!

Words RUNNING....
Please help me to solve this problem...

I have a word called LION. I need to change that word to KING. But The word lion will be in stage or screen. When i enter a new word KING the alphabets of the word LION must RUN alphabetically to KING...ie L of LION must go like L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,Z,A,B,C,D,E,F<G,H,I,J,K ie from L to K.Like this all the characters must run simultaneously... I had made a function to get next character shown below.

ActionScript Code:
function nxt(curralp) {
if (curralp=='A') {
nxtralp='B';
} else if (curralp=='B') {
nxtralp='C';
} else if (curralp=='C') {

I'm no good at AS so i've attached a .FLA with what i got so far,.

From Letters To Words?
I have a little function here from one of my books that generates a random cycle of letters based on a string, is it possible to have this working with multiple words instead of individual letters?

Just A Quickie - One Or Two Words Will Do
Hi there - I've used the tuturial on THIS page to help transition my pages smoothly: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/transitions.htm

Everything is working fine; however, if I move the buttons and the A/S off the main timeline, I am not able to load the relevant sections anymore. I just keep loading the same swf over and over... Section 1.

This is the code that is supposed to sit on the main timeline to enable the transitions:

on (release) { if (_root.currMovie == undefined) { _root.currMovie = "main"; container.loadMovie("main.swf"); } else if (_root.currMovie != "main") { if (container._currentframe >= container.midframe) { _root.currMovie = "main"; container.play(); } } }

The MC that I've moved everything into is called 'fluid'.

I know I need to change the path to the container, and I've tried the following to try and reach it:

_root.fluid.container.
fluid.container

and neither have worked.

Does anyone have any urgent suggestions? I know it's a simple fix - I just can't see it!

Array Of Words?
