[mx2004] Actions Window Won't Show Actions
Well the problem is rather annoying and stops me from doing any work...
If I open my actions window, it opens up, but I just have a gray area inside the window, I can't put any scripting in, and even funnier, if I try to put my actions window locked into place it will actually crash flash entirely without any error message.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Flash Actions Window
I have a bit of a peculiar problem; I seem to have lost the actions window! I don't know how it happened but the actions window is gone. I am on flash 5 and I already tried reinstalling it to no avail. Please help, I need to finish a project by tommorow (how cliche'!).
I have tried everything imaginable, I thought I may have accidently put it in another window tab, but I checked all of them. I opened a new flash page thinking it may have been hidden, but it wasn't there either. I check the 'windows' tab and it says it is open. I tried double-clicking on a frame in the timeline which usually brings up the actions window. Same result. I really have no clue what to do now. Please, any advice/help will be appreciated. Thanks

PopUp Window Actions
This tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm
shows how to create a centered pop-up window when a button is clicked on... but this is written specifically for a button instance and not a movie clip instance. I tried editing the code for my movie clip, but cant seem to get it. I am novice at actionscript... any help in Lehmans terms would be GREAT! Thanks!

Slow To Open Actions Window
Has anyone else experienced this. In one particular scene, if I try to open the Actions window, there is a delay of about 20 seconds before it opens. Every other scene works fine. The are a few complicated animations animations in this scene, but I don't see why that would matter. My entire flash file, exported is less than 300k, and the .fla file is 2.2MB. Any advice would be helpful. Also, once the actions window is open, I can select different frames and edit the scripts easily.

Scroll Bars? And Actions Window
I want to post my resume. It is longer than the size of the stage. i want to add a scroll bar to let viewers scroll thru at their own pace. I found the scroll bar on the component menu, but I can't get it to work. Should the text be a movie clip? Other advice?
Also, the Actions window is so darn big. Can I make it shorter? It's not leaving enough room to see more than 1 inch of the stage.
Thank you!

Can't Adjust Size Of Actions Window In CS3
I've got my actions window open for a project and on my Mac, the window is too big. It's running past the end of the screen resolution and I can't seem to make the window any smaller since I can't get to the resize tool. Is there another way I can resize the window so I can get it to where I can add the rest of my code?

Multiline String In The Actions Window
There's no doubt a simple answer for this, but it's been driving me nuts for years. In the Actions panel I am writing a paragraph of text to appear in a dynamic text field. If I write it as a single line (stretching maybe a half a mile), it comes out fine. If I try to break the text up for convenience only, like...
display.text = "This is an experiment to see if there's any way
to type several lines of text in the Actions Window.";
... I get a syntax error back. If I insert a backslash at the end of the first line, like...
display.text = "This is an experiment to see if there's any way
to type several lines of text in the Actions Window.";
... the text will appear correctly in the text field, but the backslash will also appear. I don't want a line-feed or a carriage return (
,
); just want to be able to break up the string as I'm writing it. Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Smart Clip Scrolling Window-actions?
Last edited by msa : 2002-05-07 at 18:08.
I've been trying to figure out the actions to put on four separate buttons to pop up four separate scrolling windows. The windows are a smart clip, so I'm using clip parameters to load the different text in. Nothing seems to work. Either the window doesn't pop up on release or else each window has the same piece of text.
Any suggestions in Flash 5? I've been using Flash for almost a year, but still need tons of help and study.
Thanks.

Actions Such As Stopping Against A Wall Don't Work If The Window Is Scrolling. Help?
so yeah, when the character normally hits a wall when he's near the middle of the canvas he stops and doesn't go forward, but when he reaches a certain _x coordinate and the window starts scrolling to the right, say, his _y just keeps going up and he shoots up the wall...
what's goin on here?
here's the code for the stopping i think:
PHP Code:
stopped = function() {
for (i=0; i<1; i += 0.5) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) || YukiMC._xscale == -28.8) {
if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x-(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
YukiMC._x += YukiMC.speed;
}
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) || YukiMC._xscale == 28.8) {
if (world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._x+(YukiMC._width/2), YukiMC._y-120, true)) {
YukiMC._x -= YukiMC.speed;
}
}
}
// if (_root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width, YukiMC._height/2, true) || _root.world.platform.hitTest(YukiMC._width-120, 62.45, true)) {
}
stopped();

Controlling Actions Window Height In Cs3: Less Height Plz
hey there,
ive recently switched to flash cs3, but there is one seemingly little quirk that is driving me nuts, and hopefully its fixable.
in flash 8, you could have the actions window the same height as the properties window and group them. In cs3, the actions window always takes up about half my screen with its height whenever it is opened (the shortest i can get it is still more than double the height the properties window is). In cs3 you can still obviously group them, but the box keeps on changing size depending on which tab you choose (properties vs actions).
Maybe its just me, but i find it annoying to my work flow. Is there some sort of preference i can set for this (customizable min height for actions window?), be cause i certainly have not found it:S Would be greatly appreciated!thanks!

Actions Are Overriding Other Actions Or Being Caught In A Loop Only On Double Click
I have a movie which I use actionscript to move things on/off stage to create different pages. Everything works great unless you double click a button.
When double clicking it makes objects "stick" in place and they will not move even though another command should make them move off stage (movie gets stuck). On a single click, the objects do what they are commanded to do. I even tried setting a variable to disable the button click if it has already been clicked. What causes this?
In the code below, the objects in the function home() will not leave the stage once the services button is double clicked (they are commaned to ease off the stage once other mc's are pressed) . BUT it works if only the services mc is only single clicked...please help. I'm pulling my hair on this one and about to start pulling my teeth.
if (_global.whichMovieLoaded != "services" && _global.isMovieLoaded != "stop") {
_global.whichMovieLoaded = "services";
services.onPress = function() {
remove();
function Pause() {
// bring home
home();
clearInterval(PauseInterval);
};
PauseInterval = setInterval(Pause,1000);
valet.easeY(400, 1.09);
itinerary.easeY(425, 1.09);
dining.easeY(400, 1.09);
ground.easeY(425, 1.09);
};
};
function remove(){

Actions On The Main Page..do They Affect Actions On Movie Buttons?
ON the home page I've created, the buttons I used with the code in my previous thread ("two questions about HTML publishing and buttons"), I added an on rollover action to the actions layer of the main timeline (not the movie button timeline) so that on rollover, a picture would change according to the button that was rolled over. I did this for all three buttons. The rollover action works great, but now the links don't work in either the html OR the swf version. Would the added action disable the movie-clip button actions? Here's the added main timeline code, edited for space: photobtn_mc.onRollOver = function() {
gotoAndStop(2);
photobtn_mc.onRollOut = function() {
gotoAndStop(1); ( Again, help is greatly appreciated!)

Actions On Clip Kill Parent Actions? Workaround?
Hello, i have a nav clip, with rollover actions. When the nav clip is rolled over, i want the nav to zoom in. Which isn't a problem,
there are 6 buttons inside the nav clip which have onRelease actions. However, since the nav clip (the parent to the buttons clip) has the rollover state, it kills the actions of the buttons. Is there a workaround for this?
here is my code, the clip structure is nav.buttons.but1 etc.
code:
Stage.scaleMode = 'noScale';
import flash.filters.*;
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this.nav.onRollOver = function() {
};
this.nav.onRollOut = function() {
};
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
for (i=1; i<=6; i++) {
nav.buttons["but"+i].onRelease = function() {
trace(this._name);
};
}

[F8] Rewriting Button Actions To This.on Actions
Evening! I could do with a little help if possible - basically I need to combine a number of different button commands into script for a movieclip button.
I want these actions
PHP Code:
on (rollOver) { // slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name. slider.xMove = button_1._x;}on (rollOver) { tellTarget ("_root.PC_Cursor") { gotoAndStop("Finger"); }}on (rollOut) { tellTarget ("_root.PC_Cursor") { gotoAndPlay(1); }}on (release) { if (_root.CENTERpages.clip._currentframe == 10) { _root.CENTERpages.clip.gotoAndPlay(11); }}on (release) { if (_root.world._currentframe == 2) { _root.world.gotoAndPlay(1); }}on (release) { tellTarget ("_root.CENTERpages") { gotoAndStop("name"); }}on (release) { unloadMovieNum(1);}on (release) { if (_root.CENTERpages.A1._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A1.gotoAndPlay(2); }}on (release) { if (_root.CENTERpages.A2._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A2.gotoAndPlay(2); }}on (release) { if (_root.CENTERpages.A3._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A3.gotoAndPlay(2); }}on (release) { if (_root.CENTERpages.A4._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A4.gotoAndPlay(2); }}
to work like this in a movieclip:
PHP Code:
this.onRollover = function() { // slider - Movie Clip's Instance Name. button_1 - Button's Instance Name. slider.xMove = button_1._x;}this.onRollover = function() { tellTarget ("_root.PC_Cursor") { gotoAndStop("Finger"); }this.onRollout = function() { tellTarget ("_root.PC_Cursor") { gotoAndPlay(1); }this.onRelease = function() { if (_root.CENTERpages.clip._currentframe == 10) { _root.CENTERpages.clip.gotoAndPlay(11); }this.onRelease = function() { if (_root.world._currentframe == 2) { _root.world.gotoAndPlay(1); }this.onRelease = function() { tellTarget ("_root.CENTERpages") { gotoAndStop("name"); }this.onRelease = function() { unloadMovieNum(1);}this.onRelease = function() { if (_root.CENTERpages.A1._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A1.gotoAndPlay(2); }this.onRelease = function() { if (_root.CENTERpages.A2._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A2.gotoAndPlay(2); }this.onRelease = function() { if (_root.CENTERpages.A3._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A3.gotoAndPlay(2); }this.onRelease = function() { if (_root.CENTERpages.A4._currentframe == 1) { _root.CENTERpages.A4.gotoAndPlay(2); }
but it doesn't work!!! period! am I supposed to be keeping all of the functions together after I call the action? ie; all of the onrelease functions run on after a single this.onrelease call?
or have I took the wrong approach altogether on this?
Any pointers welcome!

Frame Actions Vs Object Actions
In preparation for AS3 which no longer supports object actions, I am on the process of converting flash movies created with Object actions in AS2 to Frame actions. While I understand some valid reasons for switching to Frame actions, I am discovering that converting button and clip actions to Frame actions is a very tedious process and so far, more than half the files I have tried to convert do not work. Having worked with Flash since version 3, I know about timelines, targeting and variable scope but this whole conversion process is driving me nuts! Is there a place that I can go to or tutorials available that teach how to attack this conversion? What are the main guidelines in converting from Object to Frame Actions? I have looked in the CS3 Help (from the program or Adobe online) and I have not found anything to guide me. Am I the only one experiencing this? Thanks for your help.

Link In Pop-up Window (flash File) Target=parent Window
I have a flash demo that is opened from our web site and spawns a new window. At the end of the demo is a link that directs the user to "get more information." I would like this link to open the "more info" page in the PARENT window rather than the spawned window. Currently I have my Flash link coded with:
on (release) {
getURL ("http://www.hiddenmind.com/materials.html", _parent);
}
This is not working. Do I need to add some code to the parent window and/or the HTML page where the Flash file is embedded?
Thanks for your help! I can't seem to find the solution

Pausing After Preload If Browser Window Is Not Active Window
Hi folks,
I'm trying to figure out how to do this, but so far I have had no success. The intention is for anything like a Flash trailer, intro movie or such like which is large to preload and once this is done check to see if the user is still viewing that browser window.
So if during the preloading the user opens/selects a different window and the preloading finishes then the Flash will go to a paused screen, awaiting the user to indicate they want to proceed (eg a play button). If however the user still has, or has returned to, the browser window it will skip the pause screen and play the animation.
For an example the 9th chapter of Ninjai.com seems to do this (I haven't checked the other chapters).
Any help would be appreciated.

GetURL - Targetting The Parent Window Of Popup Window?
Hello!
Yet another thread on getURL but I did a search and couldn't find anything related to my question, so here goes...
I have a website which launches a 900x400 popup window which contains an interactive flash movie. From within this movie, I am loading in HTML from a text file which populates a scrolling textfield.
I was pleased to learn that href links within the text file work as links within the flash textfield. What I want to do is have these links open in the parent window that spawned the popup.
If I use target=_blank on these links, the pages open up in a new browser window.
If I use target=_parent on these links, the pages open up in the same popup window and obviously replace the flash movie content (goes to the link instead of launching it in the parent window).
Is it possible to use the _parent target to launch these links into the main website that spawned the popup or is _blank the only one?
If anyone has any tips or experience on this matter it would solve a huge headache for me.
Thank you!

Loading External SWF's Into A New Flash Window Instead Of A Browser Window?
I have this flash presentation where I have buttons when clicked on, a (_blank) browser window pops-up and begins playing external SWF's.
The problem is that, with windows XP, every time I click the button(s) to have the browser window pop-up, to play my externals, the damn 'virus protection notification' thing pops-up first, asking me if this content is allowed. Is there a way to turn this off? My client does not want to have to "allow" the browser to play the external SWF's everytime. I've tried everything but no luck.
Better yet, is there a way to have the external SWF's pop-up in a totally new flash window, on top of the main (presentation) window? I don't want the external SWF's playing in the same window, but rather show in a new window entirely. Can anyone help me? This project is past-due and it needs to go out today. I'll attach the current scripting I'm using so far, if it helps. Thanks so much!
bottingsAd_mc.onRelease = function() {
getURL("exampleAds/bottingsports2_001.swf", "_blank");

Window Without Border And The Normal Windows Window
Hi there everybody !!!
I´m a guy from Denmark, who´s using flash as a way to promote my self.
I´m fairly good at using flash, but I have to admit, yhat I´m not very proficient at scripting/programming in flash and neither java. but I´m very eager to learn the art of programming/scripting.
Here´s my quostion for all you "HEAVY PROGRAMMERS" out there:
How do I make a new window, without any borders, as we usually see.
Is it a java thing or a flash ?
In the recent past I´ve discovered many sites using this technic. And I´m very curious about making this window.
A window without any borders
A window, - but not the normal popup window, that Explorer generates.
I´ve seen that Samsung uses it in theire website, and someother companies.
Hope everydody understands my request and will reply as soon as possible.
In forward thanks
Yours sincerely K. M. Egander
