Stuck On Tell Target
i've just read the tell target tutorial and it seems fairly simple. But i'm trying to get it to work in flash mx, is there any way to do it? I've found the tell target button in flash mx but the action script it produces seems different from the one that appears on flash 5. Is that suppose to happen? thx for your help

Drag And Drop Target Stuck To Mouse - Help- See Swf.
Hi, i´ve been going through some tutorials and samples of "drag and drop" flash movies and I always come apon the same bug. The drop target gets "stuck" to the mouse, and when I click the target it just drops down and doesn´t return to its orig. position. This mostly happens when the target in the "lower order" is droped behind a target that is "in front of it" Now I have used the
Code:
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
to fix the "order" problem but still the problem some times happens. - You can see the problem in the fla/swf if you drag on of the "lower order targets" under the "front targets".
Does any one know if there is a way to fix this...?

Newbie Movement Question - Move Number Of Pixels NOT To Target Or Even PRECISE TARGET
Like a lot of people im using the code below to move a movie clip my question is this - how do i move the clip exactly a set number of pixels from its current position (lets say 20 pixels) rather than setting a target?
(what im using now)
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.go==1 && root._x<300) {
_x = _x+2;
}
}
ive tried lots of things but there must be a simply answer - someone please help.. thanks.
My second question is how do i move something to a specific x target ie not use <300 or such like - ive tried != and stuff like that but to no avail..
1st question more important right now though - thanks!
Apply Glow Filter On Target MC While Dragging An Object And Rolling Over The Target
I can get my filter to apply to a movie clip if i simply rollover or roll out of it. When the mouse rolls out, the filter is set to undefined. The problem I am having is that I want the object that is in effect the hit area to glow (have a filter applied) when the draggable object is being dragged over it.
This would make is easier for the user to visually identify that where they are currently hovering over, whilst dragging, is the area that they should drop the object.
Part of my code looks like this
Code:
this.onRollOver = function () {
if(_global.isDragging == 1){
this.filters = glowFilterArray;
}
}
this.onRollOut = function () {
_global.isDragging = 0;
this.filters = undefined;
}
_global.isDragging is set to 1 at the onPress stage, when startDrag occurs.
_global.isDraggin is set to 0 onRelease of the draggable object.
Are there any ideas for a solution?
Action On Button, Tell Target, Error=target Not Found
Hello, beings of helpfulness!
I am working at a non-profit and trying to make a website from a Flash template with minimal, but some Flash experience. The template has multiple timelines (main page, content pages, and buttons). This part I am still learning. On the home page, I have an image (mc) that loads, with an instance name of "girls." Menu buttons take the viewer to corresponding content pages, which is when I want the image on the main page to dissapear to make room for the content. When the viewer selects the home page again, I want the image to appear again. At first I put in the following action (except for the home page), alpha=0. It worked! And now it doesn't! I did play with the button timelines some. I tried taking the actionscript out and putting it in again, to no avail.
The action in my button is
on (release) {
tellTarget ("_root.girls") {
_alpha=0;
gotoAndPlay(11);
}
}
And the error I now get is: Target not found: Target="_root.girls" Base="_level0.instance58.instance543"
Any ideas? I'm quite stuck. Thanks so much for any help, or suggestions to do this another way.
I've attached the swf, but the compressed fla was too big. I can email it to anyone willing to fix what is probably very simple, except to the newbie with little but increasing experience!
I'm using Flash MX.
LoadMovie In A Target Without Inherit Of Target Properties?
hi,
I load a SWF-FILE in a target MovieClip with loadMovie(). After that I want to read the _width and _height of loaded MovieClip (from the SWF-FILE), but I only get the properties of the target MovieClip.
loadMovie ("test.swf", "dummySwf");
trace("height:"+dummySwf._height+"width:"+dummySwf ._width);
//put out the properties from target, not from new clip :-((
any idea?
thanks

Target JS Button To Target Frame Swf At Different Html...how?

- then i have a button(gif/jpeg htmlpage not flash), located at index2.html

Target Not Found: Target="_root.info1"
Okay my problem arises when I load an external swf to a target on my main movie. now the the external swf works great on its own, it has a few MC's which are called via a simple button script - on release -> tell target -> go to and play .... the target is "_root.info1" . However When the file is loaded into my main movie I get the error message ' Target not found: Target="_root.info1" ' obviously it is trying to find the target in the main movie and not in the external swf. Well I just dont know how to fix it, any ideas ?
Thanks
Easy Q: Target Not Found: Target="downtrigger"
I have an MC thats called 'slider' that will slide around the main stage. When different buttons are pressed it will slide in to place and each place will have a dynamic text field that will scroll the appropriate text. When I test the movie the text is viewable but when I click the scroll arrows I get the following error:
Target not found: Target="downtrigger" Base="_level0.slider"
What I would like to know is where I place the
'_level0.slider' on my tell target script, which is as follows:
on (press) {
tellTarget ("downtrigger") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
tellTarget ("downtrigger") {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
If anyone is interested in looking at the .fla let me know and I can email it. Much appreciated, by the way I have around 2 weeks to get this project finished!

Target Not Found: Target="undefined" Base="_level0.hero"
For some reason whenever my hero mc jumps i get this
Target not found: Target="undefined" Base="_level0.hero"
the code for the jump is:
code:
onClipEvent (load) {
vel_y = 0;
jumping = true;
speed = 5;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && !jumping) {
vel_y = 35;
jumping = true;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
fall = true;
if (this.hitTest(_root.floor)) {
fall = false;
vel_y = 0;
grav = 0;
}
if (fall) {
grav += vel;
vel += 1;
if (grav>=10) {
grav = 10;
}
this._y += grav;
}
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (jumping == true)
this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (fall == true && vel_y<=5)
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (fall == false)
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
Any idea how i can clean this up or help w/ the target identifier?
thnx in advance
How Do I Rid Of This Error: Target Not Found: Target="OverworldTheme" Base="_level0"
I was making a main menu and I had looping music on it. I tried to make the music stop after I click the play button so I used the following code:
PHP Code:
on (release) {
tellTarget ("OverworldTheme") {
stopAllSounds();
}
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
And while I play the video and press the button, the following error comes up:
Target not found: Target="OverworldTheme" Base="_level0"
Any advice on how I could fix this?

Hello
i am very new to flash and i have just heared about Actionscripting. goodness gracious me! staright over my head!
i was just playing around and seeing what i could do, so i tried to insert a date/time using a dynamic text box.
i know that i have to set the text box with the variable 'now_display'. i also know that i have to add:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
now = new Date()
now_display = now.toString()
}
to an instance of the movie. but i don't understand how. i right mouse click on the text box to select 'Action' but i can't have an 'onClipEvent' unless the text box has been converted to a movie clip, but when i do that, the option to add the variable 'now_display' disappears.
Also, i don't know how to add: now = new Date()
now_display = now.toString()
}
what do i select to add it? i can't find an action where i can add that text without little extra symbol (e.g. ; or /* etc)
please help!!!

Hi,
Can anyone help with this...?
If I have a button located within in a movie clip, is there a way i can add a goto action whose target frame is in the MAIN TIMELINE rather than in the movie clip's timeline?
also, is there any way of adding a line of actionscript to a number of different buttons at once without having to go thru and type it out over and over?
many thanks in advance,

I magine if you please;
I have a main stage that has 6 buttons on it , these link to a window mc that has win "max" and win "min"which obviously change the state of the window.My problem is one particular window opens external swf files within it.I am using an instance of my window mc called gallery which works fine. When the window loads it has
win="blank";
oldWin="blank";
startLoad="false";
movie="showreel1.swf";
stop();
This sets the varibles and loads up the swf and showreel 1 works.What i need to know is what action would i have to put on the button to load up a different swf?
i tried this
on (press) {
(content.gotoAndStop("hide"));
}
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay (1);
win = "blank";
oldWin = "blank";
startLoad = false;
movie = "showreel2.swf";
stop ();
}
the on press works but the rest will not i thought it would be a case of ressetting the variables at the beginning of the gallerymc but things are getting to heavy for the brain and therefore i am stuck!!
please help

Something I Always Get Stuck On....
I keep running into this same problem and I always think I know the answer, but it turns out I don't. And I know it's something simple I'm missing.
Basically I want to know how to tell Flash to check if two are things are true before it's allowed to move on.
I thought I could do this by putting two if statements within each other, like:
if (something here is true) {
if (this is true too) {
gotoandPlay(whatever)
}
}
But apparently that doesn't do it. What am I missing?

How do I make a graphic or an movie clip play only once within the scene while the rest of the animation is looping?
I tried putting a [stop] action in the layer containing the clip but the entire scene stops and fail to loop.
Also I put a [stop] action within the movie clip object but this had no effect. I scene was still looping with everything in it.
When I save the object as an image, it doesn't allow action scripting within that oject, only in the layer.
Please Help Me!
Thank You Very Much!!

I need help on this one people. I have a swf that is showing several buttons as it moves through the timeline. After so many frames, I have a loadmovie script in a frame.

My problem is when I click on a button to goto a different swf...It will kick off the overview section. how can I stop the timeline from continuing in my first movie? I did try the unload movie script but no luck. Thanks!

What possible things could I be doing wrong in this code?
As I have said before please give me a hand I will be very greatful for any help given
thanx

Stuck In The Mud, Help
Say I have 3 symbols, each containing text.
1: profile
2: skills
3: contact
Each of the above symbols are placed on seperate frames, 1 to 3.
Placed above and spanning all three frames is a movieclip called 'transition'. This movieclip is 20 frames long.
What I'm trying to do is, when someone clicks on, lets say the skills button the 'transition' movieclip is activated. On the 10th frame I want it to say "_rootgotoAndStop(2);"
So I'm guessing that I have to pass a variable from the button on the _root timeline, to inside the 'transition' movieclip.
How is this done?
Help I'm Stuck
Hi everyone,
i am developing a flash game in Flash MX. The game uses 10 classes of objects, 2033 lines of code. Up until now I was able to work normally, but since today morning every change I have made in the script causes Flash to crash (even slight changes like changing "+" into "-" somewhere in the script).
Did anybody happen to encounter a problem like this one before?
Here I Got Stuck,,plz Help

//loadVariables("http://dotworld/grief/temp/flash/getsound.php", this);
}
onClipEvent (data) {
trace(mp3file);
mySound.start();
}

Help... I'm Stuck
I'm learning flash as i go, to be able to build a site for my resume in flash... *hopefully that would impress employers*
Anyways, my problem is being stuck on making the buttons work! I don't seem to be able to find a good tutorial where it shows how to setup the button to change the display "text" area when released. Should I use separate SWFs, or is it something that i have to do on the main timeline? either way, I have no clue how to approch this problem, nor how to implement the solution.
here is the site: http://www.mikeaqel.com/
All comments are welcomed.
Still Stuck
Okay, now I'll explain in detail about what I'm trying to say so you can understand what I'm saying, (not that the previous help didn't help, thank you to those people that have already helped me out).
So, I'm trying to make it so when I use the hitTest command it moves the background image in a 'y' direction, so that it scrolls. What I mean is that when you hit the MC it background moves up or down, (also with the MC that hit the hitTest MC). But when it hits the 'y' line or 577 it stops scrolling and you continue moving with the base MC (car). Also when you want to move it back I need help with how to make a MC that isn't there before you use the first hitTest to move it up, but when you want to go back down it is there to move the background image up. So you can contiously move the background image up and down infinite times, while also moving the car MC with the background.
My current code is below:
Car:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
_root.car.laser._visible=false;
laserCounter=1;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.speed = speed;
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
speed += 1;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
speed -= 1;
}
if (Math.abs(speed)>20) {
speed *= .7;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_rotation -= 15;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
_rotation += 15;
}
speed *= .75;
x = Math.sin(_rotation*(Math.PI/180))*speed;
y = Math.cos(_rotation*(Math.PI/180))*speed*-1;
if (!_root.boundary.hitTest(_x+x, _y+y, true)) {
_x += x;
_y += y;
} else {
speed *= -.6;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
laserCounter++;
_root.car.laser.duplicateMovieClip( "laser"+laserCounter, laserCounter );
_root["laser"+laserCounter]._visible=true;
}
}
mainGround:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
scrollStart=false;
groundStarty = this._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.area1a.scrollStart==true){
this._y+=10;
_root.car._y+=10;
}
if (_root.car._y >= 575.0){
scrollStart=false;
}
}
area1a:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if (_root.car.hitTest(_x+x, _y+y, true)) {
scrollStart=false;
}
}
I have also attached the .fla (zipped) file with this post, if you would like to see what I mean if you don't understand this post.
Also, if you would like to help me even more, you dont have to but, could you help me fix up the laser hitting boundary MC and stopping it from going any futher and also the frame rate on it is differnt from the rest of the flash, (not included to decrease file size).
Stuck On If - Else
If - Else help ???
I have a quiz where the user can choose more than one answer for six questions.
If they get the choice correct...a blinking "correct" mc appears over the correct answer(s). I have this working fine...
If they choose wrong however, a "wrong" mc appears over the selected wrong answer box, and if they fail to click a correct answer, a blinking "checkmark" mc appears over that box...
a lot of coding I know but it has to be done this way...
can someone help with the rest of this scripting...???
thnx...

A Little Bit Stuck
I am trying to figure out how to make my preloader work, I have never made one before but have looked at a few tutorials and think I get the swing of it. But I just wanna check to see if this will work.
In my movie there are two scene's 1)Preloader 2)Main. In the preloader scene I have made an 8 frame animation that I want to be my preloader. I want my preloader to work by checking two variables (bytes & bytes_loaded) against each other so that when the movie is loaded it plays the second scene. The code I think will work is as follows
SCENE1 FRAME1
var bytes = _root.getBytesTotal();
var bytes_loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes_loaded == bytes) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Main");
} else {
_root.gotoAndPlay("Preloader");
}
Is this script correct? I can't test it right now because im am not at home otherwise I would be asking why it doesn't work (if it doesn't of course)
Cheers
