Level 0 Loads A Movie Into Level 1 - Buttons On Level 0 Still Appear To Be Active Underneath
I am working on an interactive cd. My main movie plays in level 0 and clicking on an option loads the relevant movie into level 1.
The problem I have is that the main movie's buttons are still active underneath and if you click on the wrong place in the movie on level 1 it jumps to a new movie because of the button below.
Is there a way to somehow deactivate these while there is a movie playing above?

Can Anyone Teach Me How To Use SetInterval?
Hi folks,
I came upon setInterval script while checking the Flash MX Dictionary. But the explanation there is so rigid and limited that I just don't have any idea how to use it.
I think we can use this script to create a period of interval between animation or movies, instead of creating a tremendous amount of frames?
Can anyone help me with this, because I kept doing this silly method of creating interval by making many empty frames in between animation.
Cheers,
R.
Is There Anything That Will TEACH Me Actionscripting?
Alright...Every single tutorial I have ever seen on actions always says: "here, copy and paste my actionscript and then flash will do such and such" but they never go through the steps and tell me what the language means and how to use it in other ways....I understand that copying and pasting other peoples actionscript is a fast way to get the results you want without doing the work yourself, but I want to actually LEARN the language of actionscripts so I can do things myself....Is there anywhere I can learn this???!!! I don't want you to give me a list of tutorials, becuase even the begginer one's on this site and others that deal with actions ALWAYS say "put the following script in a certain spot"..
I think you can understand my frustration. What I want is somebody to tell me first what the individual actions due...and then show me how you put them together into the big picture...I don't just want the big picture...I want everything in between. Those guyz had to learn from someone right? It's not possible to copy/paste someone else's actionscript and teach yourself.
I'll Pay You $20/hr To Teach Me Actionscript
Hi all. Sorry if I posted in the wrong section. I was wondering if anyone can teach me how to build a fully functional website, something similar to www.2advanced.com Over aol instant messenger, or over the phone.
It doesn't have to look like all high-tech like that, all It has to do is have the similarities in coding, and kinda teach me how they went about doing all that.
I know the very basics of flash. Like Tweening, frames, layers, masking, making buttons, movie clips, and graphics. If you told me to make a new movie with a circle moving from left to right super fast, I can do that.
But if you tell me to make a new movie clip with 5 buttons, and a preloader, and when you click on each link it has user interactivity, I CANNOT do that.
I'm willing to pay $20/hr through paypal. Hopefully to have you tutor me within a 10 hr period, which would be a total of $200.
OR. If you are kind enough to teach me for free, In about 4-5 months, I'll have a even GREATER reward for you, for being obidient and patient.

Random Duplication Of MCs ...teach Me
Need some help with this one...
I want an MC to appear randomly on the screen, say about five at any given moment, and then scale down to nothing as to disappear.
Used the duplicate feature like once in flash before,...i know, i know, but here I am asking for help so teach me and I shall know and never ask again.
Here's what I got so..
i = 0;
if (i<100) {
duplicateMovieClip (_root.mymc, "mymc" add i, 10+i);
setProperty (["mymc"] add i, _yscale, "300");
setProperty (["mymc"] add i, _xscale, "300");
i = (i+1);
}
I have the if statement, because I want this duplication of mc's to last only for a few seconds, like 8sec. The 10+i, because I need a number of layers set aside.
Thanks flash gurus

Button Actions: Which Way To Teach?
Ive been teaching beginners to use Flash, and now the school has got a new version: Flash MX 2004 Professional.
When we still had the old version installed you had to write button actions by attaching the script to the button and writing something like this:
on(press){
play();
}
Now with the new Flash player and FlashMX 2004 you can give buttons and movie clips instance names and refer to them from a frame action like so:
buttonGo.onRelease = function(){
play();
}
I am teaching absolute beginners who are not interested in becoming developers, which version should I teach them? Or should I teach them both?
I can see that the new way is more convenient as all of the script can now be placed in the frame and you dont have to hunt for it in a button. But are there still any advantages for using the old way?
Is it easier to understand, or is the old way easier to understand, from a beginner point of view?
Sams Teach Yourself In 24 Hours
Well, I was just givein this "Sams Teach Yourself Flash Mx Actionscript in 24 Hours" By: Gary Rosenzweig. Ive read through some of the chapters and it looks well written and explained. But before I dive into it I wasnt sure if this book was about AS 1.0 or 2.0? The book doesnt say wether its etheir and I checked online through the books ISBN # but didnt get any useful information. Has anyone here heard of this book and know wether it explains AS 1.0 or 2.0
Thanks
btw if it ends up being about AS 1.0 is that worth learning anyway. Im all new to this AS and Im also not sure if the difference between 1.0 and 2.0 is sequential or different all togather. Im useing Flash MX 2004 Pro.
Using Flash To Teach Algebra
Suppose you were interested in creating an algebra tutor in flash.. Focusing on the topics: 1)Simplyfing Expressions and 2) Changing the subject of the formula. How would you implement a section where the program would give the user a question and the user would answer in a set of steps designated in the program flash ...then the program would check it to see if it matches with what it has.?
Thanks in advance
How To Use Google To Teach You Flash :)
As some of you know, google has started to attempt to awnser questions for you. If you type in "What is a widget" it will check different sources to find the awnser. I learned today that it will help you with flash too, today I did not know what a certain function did that I saw on a tutorial, and figured I'd try looking for tutorials on the net that might explain what the function does and how to use it. I didn't find anything by just googling the function, so I tried typing the searchterm "function definition" and google linked right to the source in macromedia's dictionary. Pretty nifty, eh?
OLDNEWBIE, Teach Me Your Preloader
this is oldnewbie's code:
Clear to see, it is, the force is strong with him.
ActionScript Code:
this.reelmc._visible = false;
this.loadbar._visible = false;
percent_display = "";
//create a new movieclip to load
//the external movie into
this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 10);
//load the external movie into the new movieclip
container.loadMovie("sound.swf");
//check the download status of the external
//movie once every frame
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
//trace the percentage of the movie that has loaded
percent = (this.container.getBytesLoaded()/this.container.getBytesTotal())*100;
if (!isNan(percent)) {
// trace(percent+"% loaded");
if (percent == 0) {
percent_display = "";
} else {
percent_display = Math.ceil(percent)+"% LOADED.";
}
this.loadbar._visible = true;
this.loadbar._xscale = percent;
if (percent>1) {
this.reelmc._visible = true;
}
container.stop();
} else {
// trace("0% loaded");
}
if (percent == 100) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this.reelmc._visible = false;
percent_display = "";
this.loadbar._visible = false;
loadMovieNum("sound.swf", 0);
}
};
stop();
My questions are:
1) Why do you load into a blank mc and then load into a level?
Why not just load it into a level if that is where it is going to end up?
2)this line
ActionScript Code:
if (percent>1) {
this.reelmc._visible = true;
}
When is percent ever greater than 1? If it is, would you want the loaded movie to play? EDIT: STUPID QUESTION!. I was thinking just _l / _t , not percent. duh. However, I still don't see the point of that line. It is basically covered under !NaN, right?
3) How do your's pull from the cache and not show the preloader on refresh? I don't see in your code how it does that?
4) Thank you.
5) Any reason for the Flash 5 syntax on the dynamic text?

Teach A Newbie How To Make Music
Hello, I'm new to swish max and I've only only been using it for us a few weeks now. I only learned the basics using swish 2.0, but with everyone help here on the board, you all have really made me look like a pro. After all this time using swish 2.0 I should have how to place musice to my movies, but I never did, I was actually a little intimidated. But I really would like to know if there a use friendly freeware that I can use to create whatever I need to put music on my site. Can you offer some suggetions, first being what kind of software, then how to use music from my CD to either use an entire song or make a loop of a certain part of a song, then how to place it in my movie.
I Need A Book That Will Teach Me Flash Web Design
Well as the title hints i need a book that helps me learn step by step website design in flash. I have a basic understanding of flash and how to use it, and have produced functioning websites but nothing to publish. basically i sat on my computer for hours last summer messing around with flash design and picking up things here an there. However, i don't want to mess around anymore and i would like to desgin my mum an antiques website for her business but sadly lack the knowledge to do so. Like mentioned i have a basic knowledge so possibly wouldn't need anything too basic, but something that would allow me to progress at design and grasp actionscript would be great. just wondered if anyone here has done a similar thing. i was a member of Lynda.com last year and learnt quite a bit. I have aso looked on Amazon but it's all a bit in your face and everything seems to be the same. anyone with a good book to reccomend???

Inrement Problem, Teach Me Lesson Please...
hello there,
i have a problem with making of flash photo gallery. using flash mx 2004.
i have a four frames, on my first frame i have this :
Code:
amount = 0;
on my second frame i have this :
Code:
function clearThumbs()
{
delAmount = 100;
delNum = 1;
while (delAmount > 0)
{
removeMovieClip("mc" + delNum);
delNum++;
delAmount--;
}
// while ends at this point
}
// private function clear thumbs ends here
loop = 10;
mcX = 10;
i = amount + 1;
while (loop > 0)
{
duplicateMovieClip(_root.thumb, "mc" + i, i);
if (loop > 5)
{
setProperty("mc" + i, _x, mcX);
setProperty("mc" + i, _y, 10);
}
else
{
setProperty("mc" + i, _x, mcX - 250);
setProperty("mc" + i, _y, 60);
}
// its ends here
this.imagNum["mc" + i + ".imageNum"] = i;
i++;
loop--;
mcX = mcX + 50;
}
// while ends at this point
if (amount <= 0)
{
_root.prev._visible = false;
}
else
{
_root.prev._visible = true;
}
// if ends at this point
if (amount >= 30)
{
_root.next._visible = false;
}
else
{
_root.next._visible = true;
}
// end if
on my third frame i have this :
Code:
// how many thumbs
picAmount = 10;
picNum = 0;
// increment
picNum = picNum + amount;
while (picAmount >= 0)
{
// put the thumbs x, y
loadMovie("thumbs/picture" + picNum + ".jpg", "mc" + picNum + ".thumbHold");
picNum++;
trace (picNum);
picAmount--;
}
// end here
if (picAmount = 1)
{
// load first picture in movie clip _root.square.stage,
first = picNum -10 ;
loadMovie("big/picture" + this.first + ".jpg", _root.square.stage);
}
// end
stop();
fourth frame, has stop action.
I have a movie clip with instance name, thumbs....
problem starts here.
it wont load picture in the movie clip _root.square.stage
it has this AS in it :
Code:
onClipEvent (load)
{
_alpha = 99;
}
on (rollOver)
{
_alpha = 50;
}
on (rollOut)
{
_alpha = 99;
}
on (release)
{
_root.slideShow.temp = this.imageNum;
_root.square.gotoandplay(1);
// loadMovie("big/picture" + this.imageNum + ".jpg", _root.square.stage);
loadMovie("big/picture" +imageNum + ".jpg", _root.square.stage);
trace(imageNum);
}
It gives me an error, cant load picture.jpg. Which is very wrong, there is no picture titled like this. You probably guessed from code that i have thumbs and big pictures.
Thumbs are loaded "thumbs/picture" from this directory.Big pictures are loaded from this directory "big/picture". Thumbs are loaded, first picture is loaded.
How can i do it so when you clikc certain thumbs big picture is loaded in to the moveclip "_root.square.stage" ?
What do i do wrong ? Is there a better way for this gallery.
I know there are some nice free galleries, components and stuff. I want my own.
Please help,
Thank you all in advance,
p.s.
sorry for broken english
