Starting?


hmmm. a couple questions. first off, when using the Document Class thing, does my main class HAVE to extend MovieClip? i mean if NOTHING is on the stage i can extend sprite, but if i put any movieclips on the stage then sprite gives an error. does this mean a sprite cannot hold movieclips?

here's my code


Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import com.DoMyStuff;

public class Main extends MovieClip
{
public function Main()
{
var DMS:DoMyStuff = new DoMyStuff();
myThing_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handleMouseDown);
}
private function handleMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("onMouseDown() x["+event.localY+"] y["+event.localX+"]");
}
}
}
my 2nd class file is in a directory called "com" and has the file name "DoMyStuff.as"

and the code looks like this...


Code:
package
{
public class com.DoMyStuff
{
public function DoMyStuff()
{
trace("DoMyStuff is here");
}
}
}
this gives me the error

1037: Packages cannot be nested.

How do I make this work?

thanks

Just Starting Out
Hi Everyone,

I Just purchased KoolMoves, and Dreamweaver in order to make a personal flash web site.

I am very new to any kind of web site development, let alone flash. Does anyone know of a simple on-line tutorial so that I can learn flash from ground zero, and design a site for myself?

Thanks for all your help.

Starting AS2
Hi all,

I'm struggling with Actionscript 2! I'm quite an experienced Flash(5) developer and have been away from Flash for quite a while. I am trying to get into AS2 but I'm having trouble understanding the principles. Could you recommend some good books or online tutorials to get me going?

One of the things I can't get my head around is assigning classes to movie clips. As an example, I've written a class which is a timer that I want to assign to several movie clips on stage. The timer object needs to be started when it's movie clip registers an 'onMouseOut' event' and then it does something when a certain time limit is reached without there being a 'onMouseOver' event on the movie clip. What would be the best way to set up this scenario?

Any help, gratefully received
Kind regards
Kevin

Starting Off In AS3
Hi all,

Nice place you have here! I've been lurking around for sometime but I thought I'd finally start posting.

Here is my situation, I want to know AS. Specifically AS3. I know its not going to be easy and probably quite painful but I still want to know it. I'm a decent PHP coder with a couple of years of coding under my belt. I took a very long break recently, around the time it became OOP, (pre PHP5) I think it was because of that I took my long break. It scared and amazed me, which to me was more scarer then amazing.

Anyway that being said I want to learn AS3 for a couple of reasons. Reasons enough for me to grind my teeth and get down to it. I, at this moment know how to Hello World! and thats about it...

The way I learn to program is by trying to make something rather then following a tutorial and I'm in need of something to make! Can anyone suggest something that someone new to the whole scene can try and make, which wouldn't be too easy nor too hard? I've got no idea what so every atm...

Starting A Component
Hello , i am slowly learning flash. I am a designer not a coder so some of this comes harder then i thought.

Basically i am using a component which is an mp3 player. It works great everything is good except the fact that it only playes when i press the play button. I would like it to start when the flash applet starts.

So I assume i would have to put in some action script in frame 1 of my flash aplet only i have no idea what.

What do i put in the action script in the first frame in order so that the aplet starts playing automatically when flash starts? Please help I tried everything i know.

Thank you for your help




Here is the component code
----------------------------

#initclip 2
function StereoToMonoClass() {
this.MyStereoSound = new Sound();
this.MyStereoSoundTransformObject = new Object();
this.loadAudio();
this.stm();
}
StereoToMonoClass.prototype = new MovieClip();
StereoToMonoClass.prototype.loadAudio = function() {
this.MyStereoSound.loadSound(this.AudioArray[0], this.FlagStream);
this.MyStereoSound.stop();
this.Mp3title = this.AudioTitle[0];
this.MyStereoSound.stop();
};
StereoToMonoClass.prototype.PlayAudio = function() {
if (this.FlagPausa == true) {
this.MyStereoSound.start(this.PosPausa, 0);
this.FlagPausa = false;
this.PosPausa = undefined;
} else {
this.FlagPausa = false;
this.MyStereoSound.start();
}
};
StereoToMonoClass.prototype.PausarAudio = function() {
this.PosPausa = this.MyStereoSound.position/1000;
this.MyStereoSound.stop();
this.FlagPausa = true;
};
StereoToMonoClass.prototype.StopAudio = function() {
this.MyStereoSound.stop();
};

StereoToMonoClass.prototype.stm = function() {
this.MyStereoSoundTransformObject.ll = this.LeftLeftAmount;
this.MyStereoSoundTransformObject.lr = this.LeftRightAmount;
this.MyStereoSoundTransformObject.rr = this.RightRightAmount;
this.MyStereoSoundTransformObject.rl = this.RightLeftAmount;
this.MyStereoSound.setTransform(this.MyStereoSound TransformObject);
};
Object.registerClass("Mp3PlayerStereoToMono", StereoToMonoClass);
#endinitclip

Specify A Starting Frame?
Greetings,

Is it possible to specify a starting frame for a flash movie in the OBJECT or EMBED tags?

The situation that I am specifically referring to is a site where I have two different flash movies playing in two different frames. One movie is a navigation bar with a few submenus. The other movie is a map that is in the main frame of the site. I want the map movie to be able to load or control the other movie. I figured the easiest way would be to specify the starting frame on the navigation movie when it loads. I have been experimenting with passing variables to the movie and then using an IF/ELSE logic tree to simply gotoandplay() the frame that I want, but the logic doesn't seem to be working.

Is there a way to just send a starting frame number in the OBJECT or EMBED tag? If so, I can do all my logic with PHP and just send the correct tag to load the movie at the frame I want.

Any help is appreciated,
-Pete

Starting Your Site
I've got just a bit more time to learn flash now. I've been using Photoshop for quite sometime now and understand layer principles and the basic tools etc of flash.

But i'm still a little unsure of how the exact layer system works in flash when creating a site. If there is any tutorials on this, that would be good.

Do you have 2 parts to develop the site? A bit like designing elements in Fireworks, slicing ect and then the building in Dreamweaver.

So flash becomes 2 parts also, for designing movie clips and buttons and then dragging these into a new flash site from the library?

I can't figure out how to design all elements on the one page to align ect.

Kinda hard to explain but if anyone can help with drawing a site layout etc and taking these elements on for further development.

any pionters or tutorials?

thanks

Need Pointers For Starting...
Hi!

I'm currently thinking about developing a Flash app that will:

1. Allow a user to import an external image
2. Display the image in a thumbnail
3. Display the height and width of the actual image size

... and so on, adding a host of options to meet my requirements.

I've tried looking around for tutorials but found nothing that can cover the first three steps of my app. Is it actually possible to get flash to load an external image on demand and display it in such a thumbnail way with height/width .... ???

If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to get even started on this it would be most appreciated!

Thanks

I've looked at tutorials but i can only find things on tweening (which i can do), but nothing on how to make something like those seen at Newgrounds

Just When I Thought I Was Starting To Ge It.........
Okay, what am I doing wrong!

I created a Dynamic Text Field, created a text file and through the magic of ActionScript I'm able to load the text; I've even formated some HTML to the text and it took.

I then Exported the File as an SWF, and tried it again and it still worked.

I then placed an empty MC into another MC on the main stage, the Parent MC has 5 Buttons, one of which tells the playhead that, on release go to and stop at the frame where the empty MC resides. at which point I have placed actions on that frame to load the SWF that was working fine bofore..... NOTHING HAPPENS.

the button works but that's it. Everything is in the same folder. I have used the instance name, the MC name, I have tried _root, _parent, Orphan Adny, and NOTHING.

I saw one of iaskwhy post to another member and I tried that and nothing, so I know I'm doing something wrong I just don't know what.

Please Help, I've attached a condensed ver of the file, I didn't know that You couldn't attach more than one.

This was my thinking, principleMc to test/about_Us.swf to holderMc;
Where principleMc and holderMc are the instnce names, and like I said I tried every possibility, I think, and nothing.

ok. leaving aside the problems with actionsscript...
Why is this thing so slow?
Particularly the parts with the numbered balls.

A new problem just started.

The 2nd to last mc in the main timeline jumps back to the first frame. Though in the mc's timeline, there is a stop on the frame.

this is frustrating.

[MX] I Would Like Some Help Starting Out With Flash
Hi,
today i got my copy of Flash MX so as you can guess i am rather new to this program.

the first thing that struck me was the aweful layout in the program. at 1024x768 resolution i can hardly see anything.

i don't know if the developers took this into account when developing it or not, but is there some way i can change the layout?

Also, i have been programming in a Basic language for several years, so i am not new to programming, however i mentioned Basic, as in not Object Oriented Programming.

My main reason for coming here is for the lookout of any tutorials covering this matter. preferably free tutorials that i can download directly to my computer or view online in the web browser.

I have tried by my own to get a simple box moving around by using buttons uh "PushButtons". but to no avail.

i've tried different tutorials too covering this matter but i can't seem to get it working.

if anybody would be kind enough to redirect me to some online tutorials, and a list of commands in the action script library that would be shueeat!

ps. if this has been asked of before, please excuse me and give me a link to that post

Thanks.

Starting An EXE From SWF Possible Hack?
So, I'm faced with a major problem. I design interactive, informational kiosks for a recreational products client. The kiosks are kind of like annimated catalogs. The computers are all standalone with no network connections. Recently, the client asked for an entry form to be included for a contest. I found that Flash was a poor choice to make the entry form, due it not easily being able to export variables to a text file. So I created the entry form in Visual Basic, including and on screen virtual keyboard. BTW, the kiosks have no mouse or keyboard.

This is where my problem begins. I need to publish Flash as a swf so it can be called from inside the kiosk shell software (kioware lite). Flash swf can not directly call an exe using the fscommand. That only works for Flash Projector (exe). So I got thinking there must be a "hack" that can work. I'm not worried about any Windows Security issues. If I could disable all security, I'd be better off, but I digress.

I am using the getURL command and pinting to a HTA (html application) file. That file then launches my external exe entry form. The only problem is that Windows always pops up the security warning window, asking if I want to save or open the HTA file. I want it to open it always, without asking.

I know Microsoft put these security messures in for a reason. And normally, you would not want an HTA file to run on it's own without any warning, but in my case, I need to get around the security.

Anyone have an idea on how to prevent the popup from happening? The exact dialog box is "File Download - Security Warning" "Do you want to run or save this file?" It does not give me the choice of "don't ask me this again".

OK hackers, what do you think? Can it be done?

Thanks,
Tom

Starting MC After The Other One Is Completed
Hi!
Now I have 4 buttons and mc on the stage (stage_mc) consist of 4 movie clips (a_mc, b_mc, etc).
Each of 4 movies has some intro animation (eg door opening) and after intro external swf is loading (I figured out that).
On release button 1 main mc is moving by Y so a_mc is coming to the centre of the screen.
a_mc has intro 15 frames, the door is opening, and after that external swf is loading (I figured out how to do that)
Now when any other button is pressed I'd like FIRST that door to close and then to procede to other movie.

I tried this:

on a_mc I put:

onClipEvent (mouseUp){
if (this.OKtoGO == true){
gotoAndStop(1);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(17);
}
}

And in a_mc:

frame 1:

OkToGo = false;

frame 16:

OkToGo = true;

Although I guess it's wrong code - it works for me, but the problem is that clicking on any other button plays a_mc from frame 1.

Starting From Scratch...
hi guys
my first time using flash CS3, bascially my boss wants me to put together a presentation (approx 1min) preferably using flash to advertise a product on the company's website.

i have no idea where to start with flash, i've only ever really done this sort of thing with powerpoint then used camtasia to record and convert to flash file.
but by doing it that way it does not look as good as alot of the flash presentations you see on websites these days...

i want to try and make it look real good in terms of presentation and he also said that putting in a pause,back and play button is a MUST.

is there some sort of basic template out there for this sort of thing where i can just plug in the details of the product?

any help would be much appreciated.
thank you

[CS3] AS 2.0 - Starting To Use KeyPress...
Hi there, i'm now starting to learn how to construct some simple games! Have a lot of sveet ideas but need a bit of a help to start.

Just so i get a grip with KeyPress I've made a simple 2 player game where it's the first person to press their key ('A' for player 1 and 'L' for player 2). There's a countdown then the word SHOOT displays. I then want to have a listener active that goes to, say frame 50 on key press A and frame 70 on key press L.

After i can do this i will work out how to use a variable to prevent one working if the other has already been pressed, but for now i just need to simply goto and play on keypress L or A!

Pretty simple if you know how!!...and i dont lol

full_curtan.curtan.gotoAndPlay("open");
full_curtan.curtan2.gotoAndPlay("open");
full_curtan.lgear.gotoAndPlay("open");
full_curtan.rgear.gotoAndPlay("open");
filename = ["pvd1.swf", "pvd2.swf", "pvd3.swf", "pvd4.swf"];
i = filename.length;
k = Math.floor(Math.random()*i);
image = tmovie.createEmptyMovieClip("image", tmovie.getNextHighestDepth());
image.loadMovie(path+filename[k]);
Polka = new Sound(this);
Polka.attachSound("Praise_Polka.mp3");
Polka.start(0, 0);
)
)

The other question is why isn't this working?:
_root.inst.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

_root.inst.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}

Pre Loader Not Starting...
I have an swf that is rather large and am trying to use a preloader to show that that the site is loading. However I found a tutorial for a preloader and when I attempt to use it it just waits to start the preloader until the file is loaded, flashes 97% and then goes to the site.

I need it to be showing WHILE the site is loaded not when its almost complete.

Any suggestions or other routes would be greatly appreciated! Here is the code:

ActionScript Code:
if (getBytesLoaded() > 4 && getBytesLoaded() == getBytesTotal()) {
        gotoAndPlay("start");
} else {
        pct = Math.round(getBytesLoaded() / getBytesTotal() * 100);
        // this is for the visual indicator movieclip:
        loading_mc.gotoAndStop(pct);
        // this is for the textfield indicator:
        pct_txt.text = pct + "%";
        gotoAndPlay("loading");
}

Loader Not Starting
I'm having a very frustrating time loading an image with the Loader class. I even chopped my code down to a basic skeleton for loading an image and displaying it and it won't work even though the code looks almost the same as in the flash documentation. My Event.COMPLETE is never called. My image is 33.1 kb and is in the same directory as the flash file. Anybody have a clue as to what is going wrong?


Code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;


var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("a.png"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, comp);
function comp(e:Event)
{
trace("done");
addChild(loader)

GetTimer Not Starting At 0
Can anyone explain why my getTimer is starting at 8 and counting up and not at 0?
The setInterval is set for 8 seconds to pass and then to trigger the timerMC onEnterFrame. This should start my getTimer at 0 and work up but it starts it at 8.
The reason I have this set up because it is part of a bigger amount of code so I striped it down to a small and similar scenario for you guys.

Code:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("timerMC", 1);
ID = setInterval(callTimer, 8000);
function callTimer() {
clearInterval(ID);
timerMC.onEnterFrame = timeCode;
}
function timeCode() {

Starting All The Clips
Ok, so I found this code somewhere and I don't fully understand it:

Code:
function startAllClips(clip) {
clip.play();
for (var i in clip) {
if (typeof clip[i] == "movieclip") {
if (clip[i]._parent != clip) {
startAllClips(clip[i]);
}
}
}
}
Now when the user hits the play button, I call the function like this: startAllClips(_root); (cause that's what it said when I borrowed the code) But I don't want it to start the main timeline. I've got several frames on the main timeline, a main menu, some sub-menus, and the clip player frame. I just want my main timeline to stay where it is and start all clips that exist in this frame, at this point, that are currently loaded. The clip that loads all the sub movie clips has an instance name "animations", but when I replace "_root" with "animations", nothing happens.

So how do I get the code to start playing all clips, but the main timeline?

Preloader Starting At 40%
I am using the PreLoader component in my movie which is about 400Kb and I'm having real problems with it waiting until 40% when it appears.

I know the problem is related to linkage but what are my options? Most of the stuff in my flash movie is dynamically placed on the stage rather than being manually placed.

If I put my preloader on frame 1 and then all the assets except the audio on frame 2, would this help? The trouble is that the only stuff that has its linkage set to export in first frame is the audio.

I really need to have the preloader appear immediately.

What are my options?

thanks in advance,

Chris

.flv Starting Point
I have an .flv movie on a webpage and the client doesn't like the blank black screen. How can I advance the starting point of the movie so that it displays the beginning of the movie when idle?

Starting Flash
I have CS3 installed and everything was working fine. Now when I start Flash the small flash loading screen comes up but after about 4 seconds it closes and no more activity. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to reload all of CS3?

Thanks
Dan

Starting With XML Sockets
Hello,

I've begun playing with Flash and XML Socket Servers and I thought I started taking to it easy, but now I'm running into some problems and I'm a bit confused! I was able to connect and disconnect to a socket server I wrote and Unity but I seem to be having problems sending and/or recieveing data.

I wrote a small amount of code to try it out:

var server:XMLSocket = new XMLSocket();
server.connect("66.194.238.241",10000);

server.onConnect = function(success:Boolean) {
trace(success);
}

_root.onMouseDown = function(success:Boolean) {
server.send("Sent Data!");
}

server.onXML = function() {
trace("Got Data!");
}

It seems to be connecting fine but when I click and I try my send, I get no reaction at all! Thanks!
