AttachMovie Ques
Hi -
I'm using the code below to bring mcs from the Library to the stage. It works fine until I tried to add the x,y at the end.
I thought there was a way to include _x and _y coordinates to the same statement as the attactMovie. Is there?
TIA the correct way to accomplish this.

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(){

}
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.

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
}

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?

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

Stupid Workspace Changing After I Save It (Or Stupid Me)
I have a dual-monitor setup and I have my timeline, stage, and properties panel on one monitor. That's all fine.
On the other monitor, I have the actions panel in one group and about 3 panels grouped into another group. The actions panel takes up the left 2/3 of the screen and the other panels take up the right 1/3 of the screen. That works fine.
I want to switch the actions panel with the other group of panels, so that the actions is on the right 2/3 of the screen and the other group of panels are on the left 1/3 of the screen. Problem is when I save my workspace layout, it somehow defaults the actions to the left side of teh screen and the other panels to the right side of the screen! It's driving me crazy. Anyone have any tips? Run into similar problems?

Stupid Employer, Stupid Question
hey there. my current employer currently has a header on an html page with a banner inside it. it looks like crap but his "web guys" have told him that the banner must stay in the exact place that it is otherwise it will destroy his flux capacitor or something along those lines. so im stuck trying to design a flash header for this guy with an animated gif banner inside of it. kinda like the gif banner is the hole in the donut. i guess my question is how do i leave the hole in the donut blank for the gif to be tossed into it without having to make 8 "sliced" flash movies that work together? sorry and i know theres an easy way to do this, i just havent touched flash in a few months and im rusty as all tarnation. thanks in advance

Set Variable Stupid.user="stupid Question";
right... i got a bit of help with this yesterday but i need some more now....
lets say i have 1 button with 10 instances of it in a movie.
when you point to each instance, i want different text to hover over it.
with help from someon on here yesterday, i have now set up a dynamic text field on the 'over' frame of the button, and i have done the set variable lines saying:
button1.text = 1 banana
button2.text = 2 bananas
button3.text = 3 bananas
and so on, but i don't know how to tell each instance of the button what button it is.... so in other words, how do i tell button 1 that it is button 1 and button 2 that it is button2, etc?

Stupid Stupid Preloader
I have a simple preloader animation that is suppossed to loop as my main page loads (take note, this IS NOT a progress bar!!).
As the animation is looping, the percentage of the movie loading is suppossed to be displayed. However the preloader never advances past the first frame in the preload scene (I'm keeping the preloader in its own scene to keep from adding keyframes to every layer in the main scene).
Here is the scripting I'm currently using:
Preload scene>>
frame 01:
percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
myOutput.text = percent + "% is loaded";
frame 02:
if (percent == 100){
gotoAndStop(3);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
frame 03:
gotoAndPlay ("xscene:, 1)
Is there something missing? Something I did wrong? Help!!
Stupid, Stupid Masking.
Im kinda at a loss, and am thinking my problem lies somewhere in the software.
Im trying to animate a mask over a button. The mask works but the button is having issues. Whenever the animated mask hits one of its keyframes, the button stops working for (1) frame; ie, the up state becomes visible for (1) frame. Kinda sucks if you happen to be pressing or rolling over the button at the time.
The mask isnt a gradient or a symbol, just a crappy shape that moves.
Anyhow, when I publish the movie in Flash6 it works just fine but anything less and I get the glitches. Is there a workaround or something?
Stupid Stupid Stupid Stupid Arg
Well, I obviously suck.
In the tutorial for making a scrolling text box in Flash 5, I'm not understanding something. The following code.
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
if( scrolling == "up"){
daTextBox.scroll--;
}
if( scrolling == "down"){
daTextBox.scroll++;
}
}
How on earth do you get the "daTextBox.scroll--;" line? Do I use the Operator "--"? or do i use the Function "scoll"? or something totally different?
My efforts end up looking like this....
onClipEvent (enterFrame){
daTextBox.scroll--"
if(scrolling == "up" scrolling == "down" daTextBox.scroll++{
This no work :-P
Basicly... wht do I use to the get the
daTextBox.scroll--;
and
daTextBox.scroll++;
to appear as it said it should in the tutorial....or does it matter?
Thanks for your help...

Got To Be Something Stupid
I've got a .swf with a preloader on it that is giving me problems. The .swf is composed of 2 scenes. scene 1 = preload and scene 2 = (lol well)scene 2. Here is the code for the preloader. It's a real simple one. Just has the word loading with 5 periods apearing then disapearing.
if (this.getBytesLoaded() != this.getBytesTotal()) {
nextScene ();
}
I also tried putting Scene 2 (1) in the code for the target. But when I test the .swf the preloader well just keeps going and going and going. It's like its not recognizing the target.
By the way i have to keep the movie set up this way, with two scenes i mean.
Any ideas what the problem could be? HELP please.
