Simple AS 1.0 Ques
AS 1.0
I have this code in a keyframe on the main timeline:

var score = 0;
if (score == 2500){trace("winner")}

Othe stage in the maintimeline i have a dynamic text field I labeled "score" in the var box. The instance name is "pts" but i wasnt sure if i needed an instance name anyway here. The score box works fine as far as keeping score but when it reaches 2500, I dont get my trace. What am I missing? Thanks

Probably Simple LoadMovie Ques. For JPEGs
I have a target MC that I want to load some JPG's into in my Flash Movie. The Target MC's dimensions are 650x500px. The JPG's are the same. When I attempt to load them, I can notice that something has changed in the tone of the movie clip (I had the target MC a grey color then that color disappears) but the JPG does not load.

I tried a smaller JPG, like 1/4 the size, and it loaded OK. ANyone have a suggestion?

Easy AS Ques.
ok so I have a flash doc..theres a an MC called target on mainstage that has the entite site in it (doing a fullscreen centered website)..now I have MC nav buttons on the stage (inside target). Inside one of the nav buttons I have a line of AS that says

ActionScript Code:
this.onRelease = function(){
_root.target.loadMovie("bioresume.swf", "loader");
}

Now im not sure If im doing that right..but what i want to happen is; after u release the button, load the ext swf into the empty MC called "loader". But what seems to be happening is it loads the ext swf but everything else on the site disappears. See I originally had this as my AS cause i thought this made sense but it ends up not doing anything:

ActionScript Code:
this.onRelease = function(){
loadMovie("bioresume.swf", "loader");
}

So if anyone knows what I did wrong, much appreciation. Heres the site link if u want a visual:

Easy As Ques.
Ok for some reason the end of this code doesnt work.. on release, i want it to take me to frame 2..and it wont...btw this a movie clip that has button properties through AS:

stop();

this.onEnterFrame = function(){

if(rewind == true){

prevFrame();

}

}

this.onRollOver = function(){

rewind = false;
play();

}

this.onRollOut = function(){

rewind = true;

}

this.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop(2);

}

MC Loader As Ques.
im working with the moviecliploader AS..so a button loads an ext SWF and also has a percentage loader .. so on my mainstage i have a loader mc (instance name "loader")and a holder mc (instance name "holder")..heres my AS on the main timeline:

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

var mclL:Object = new Object();

mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {
loader.percent.text = Math.round((loaded/total) * 100) + "%";
}

mclL.onLoadInit = function() {
loader._visible = false;
loader.percent.text = "";
}

mcl.addListener(mclL);

Now i have another MC that houses about 20 or so buttons..so within the buttons MC i have say this for one of the buttons:

b4sub.onRelease = function() {
_root.loader._visible = true;
_root.mcl.loadClip("LevisCampaign.swf",holder);

And unfortunetly it doesnt to load the ext. swf..did I code the _root incorrectly?

Thanks for your help.

RE - Adding Border To Shape After Deleting Border...
I have a shape, a rectangle that I drew on my stage with a thin line border. I deleted the border, but now I decided that I'd like to add the border back. When I go to click on border - it gives the red slanted line symbol for no border. When I click on that and then click on a swatch, it just defaults back to the red line - meaning no border.

Is there a way to simply re-add the border without having to redraw the shape from scratch?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

LoadVariables Button Ques
Hello all. I have this code attached to a button calling up a different text file to a dynamic text field and it works fine, except I'm having to hit the button "twice" for it to work. Can't figure out why. Can someone enlighten me please?

code:

on (release) {
scrolltext = scrolltext1;
loadVariables ("scrolltext1.txt", scrolltext1);
}

Thanks in advance

Easy - Pong AI Ques.
Ok just to see if I could do it(never really got into game programming) I tried to make a pong game everything works so far but I have a problem with this:
Flash code:

PHP Code:

onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(_global.cspeed == 0) {
}else{
    if (this._y != _root.ball._y){
        if(_root.ball._y < this._y){
                this._y -= _global.cspeed;
        }else if(_root.ball._y > this._y){
                this._y += _global.cspeed;
        }else{
                this._y = this._y;
        }
    }
}
}

The problem is that instead of moving smoothly up the screen it looks like it s shaking up and down really quickly, but I would like it to be smooth.
Please help.

Motion Guide Ques
Hi all,
Is it possible to create a motion guide, so the object connected to the motion guide is always in the centre of the screen.

What I mean is, if we were trying to go from point A to point B
we could see the full journey of the object travelling along motion guide in the centre of the screen.

A-------->--------->-------->------B

The sort of thing I mean is included, but with no motion guide instead, the car remains in the centre of screen and is able to move around the track which in turns moves the the track below.

Thanks for your time, sorry for the broken language. Hope you can help.

<> QUICK QUES RE:Positioning After Dupe
Hi Im using a while loop and the dupliacteMovieClip() to dupe a certain number of my Mc's. I want to postion each duped Mc after its created with setProperty but I cant figure out how to do this within the same loop.
It complains in output box:

Symbol=playlist_Mc, Layer=Layer 2, Frame=1: Line 9: Expected a field name after '.' operator.setProperty(_root.playlist."box" + count, _y, vertpos);

Obviously I cant do the <"box" + count> bit, but how else can i do it?
(see code below)

Code:
onClipEvent(load){

var vertpos = 46;
var count = 0;
//create
while(count!=4)
{
duplicateMovieClip(_root.playlist.box, "box" + count, 1);
-->this doesnt work//setProperty(_root.playlist."box" + count, _y, vertpos);

trace(count);
count++;
}
//position
}

Where'd The Blue Box Go?

What'd I do wrong?

Loading Clips Into Levels? -quick Ques
Hi, I need a quick bit of code or at least somebody to give me an idea on how to actually have a clip load itelf into a specific level depending on the value of a variable. I want to do this as my duplicateMovieClip() code is putting MC's on higher levels than other elements (other Mc's) in my movie, and one of these elements in perticular needs to be the 'highest'.

I tried using setProperty() as below but it doesnt work, flash complains (I gather it doesnt consider '_level' as a property?)

Code:

setProperty(need2BHighest_Mc, _level, highestLevel);

Any help appreciated
