Turning SWF's Into FLA's
Anyone one know where I can get the programme that does this? I know it's about as I used to have one, before I reformated my harddrive and lost it!

Turning Off An .mp3
I have a secondary .swf loading into a master .swf. I am loading an .mp3 into the secondary .swf dynamically by creating a new sound and a new sound channel (here's my vars):

ActionScript Code:
var musicPiece:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("mp3s/intro.mp3"));
var mySoundChannel:SoundChannel;
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
var pos:Number = 0;

I just have a pause button in the secondary .swf and everything works fine, the problem is that I have 3 more secondary .swfs that will load when called from buttons on the master .swf. I'm unloading the new loaders that carry the .swf childern on the main timeline of the master .swf, but the sound, of course, doesn't stop. I tried just addressing the sound channel var I made:

ActionScript Code:
this.swfIntroLoader.mySoundChannel.stop();

swfIntroLoader is the loader that I created in the master .swf that loads the child .swf (secondary .swf) with the mp3 player in it.

I've also tried to cast "swfIntroLoader" as a MovieClip and that didn't work either.

Any suggestions?

Turning Something ...
Howdy flash people.

I can't work out how to do this, I have a MC called "dial" and I have centered it in the MC.

Now when I press on it I want it to turn with the cursor like a real dial so if I press it and turn it left it will turn left and it will turn to whereever my cursor it on the stage.

Any help would be great :D

Turning MC's Into Buttons?
Hello and thank you for coming! I have a question. I am dynamically loading Movieclips depending on what button a user clicks. Once these MC's are loaded, when a user rolls over this clip it is supposed to load the same MC but a larger display of it into another Movieclip. I am pretty sure I am suppose to turn these dynamic MC's into buttons. But how do I do this not knowing exactly what Movie clips will be loaded since it is based on what button the user clicks? (By the way if this helps, the SWF files are being loaded into the dynamic duplicated Movie clips.)

Turning Off Music

Turning Hittest Off And On...
i have a little game i'm making (just a shooty one) and when a baddie movie clip gets hit, he goes into an explosion. when the baddie is moving down the screen he is on frame 1 of his own movie clip and the hittest sends him to frame 2 and plays for 4 frames which is the graphic of him exploding.... i want the hit detect to be turned off on frame 2 of his movie so if he is exploding and hits your ship that you don't lose energy and also because as a laser hits the baddies, they goto and play frame 2 as well, but if you shoot them while they are exploding, they keep going back to and playing frame 2 which means you can keep shooting the same enemy and getting points as long as you are quick...

here is the script for the hit detection:
(spaceship is the goodie, enemy is the baddie, laser is the goodie shots at the baddie)

on the enemy:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root.spaceship)) {
_root.hits--;
gotoAndPlay (2);
if (_root.hits==0) {
_root.gotoAndStop("gameOver");
}
}
}

on the laser:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
for (i=1; i<=_root.numEnemy; i++) {
if (this.hitTest(_root["enemy"+i])) {
_root.score += 100;
_root["enemy"+i].gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.spaceship.laserCounter--;
this.removeMovieClip();
}
}
}

please help cos its got me stumped... if i wasn't very clear up there, basicaly i want frame 2 of an enemy movie to take off the hittest that the onclipevent of that movie turned on...

ask me if you want to know anything that will help you help me

thanks in advance...

Turning A Scene Into Its Own .fla

Can someone help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Turning Var On Main TL To
Hi,

I have been succesful in sending var values from HTML to flash the "myMovie.swf?myVar=myValue" way

These vars exist on the main timeline.

Now I converted the stuf on the main timeline to a MC.
Hence, the variables are not set on that level.

So I tried two ways to convert these to:

1.) global vars:

Code:
var myVar;
Object.prototype.myVar;
2.) MC- specific vars:
('a' is the name of the MC instance)

Code:
var myVar;
a.myVar=myVar;
But when I trace() the values, nothing is there.

What am I doing wrong?

Turning Gif Into Button?
I am trying to make an animated gif into a button. When that image is clicked, I want it to go to a certain url. When I try to make it a button, the animation doesnt play, it just shows the first frame. It does link however. How do I make it animate, and do I need to make it into a movie clip?

Turning Problems
Alright I am trying to make a ship that can "turn". My current coding is this

onClipEvent (load) {
movespeed=10
}
onClipEvent (enterframe) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._rotation += movespeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._rotation -= movespeed;
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += moveSpeed;
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y -= moveSpeed;
}
}

but all this does is rotate the ship and make it go up and down, I want to make its so the ship can turn and change direction.

For example: If the ship is facing north I want to be able to use up arrow key to make the ship go north. But If I rotate the ship so it faces east I want the up arrow key to make it go east.

Music - Turning On/Off
Hi

Ok i'll try not to confuse anyone with what im gonna ask so here goes.

Ive got a button called 'toogle' on a layer called 'toggle' that allows me to turn some music on and off - the music is in a sepearte movieclip called 'soundtrack' on a layer called 'soundtrack - and it works fine.

However if i turn it off, it begins to play again after one of the movieclips called 'background' within the site loops??

Below is the ActionScript im using on the button to control the music:

on (release) {
if (music == true) {
music = false;
stopAllSounds();
} else if (music == false) {
music = true;
Soundtrack.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}

I cant understand why it begins to play again after i've turned it off? any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!

also i have a layer named actions that initialises the load sequence to the whole flash movie that includes the script:

music = true

again if anyone can help its appreciated

THANX

Ben.

Turning 86 Into 86,00 In A String... Please Help
Hi,

I'm designing an order form and use the following code to make an outcome of a calculation of "86.5" into "86.50". But how do I adjust that code to make an outcome of "86" into "86,00"? So, with both 00's AND a comma?

var myString = String(((myvar+myvar2+myvar3)*myvar5));
var Temp = myString.charAt(myString.length-2);
if (Temp == ".") {
MyString += "0";
}
perMonth.text = myString;

Thanx a lot!

Hey,

PHP Code:

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
  c = Key.getCode();
  if(c>=65){

I cant see what's wrong with this code

It seems like that when I press a Key, C keeps getting the same value every time, but I only want to get that value one time when pressed...

Slowly Turning.
Hey freinds.

I want to make an object slowly turn towards a direction. Ive seen many tutes and forum topics about this, but I want to know the best way to do it when associated with an object turning to look at a mouse.

And it doesnt need to be...
code:
_rotation = directiontoturntowards / 2

because that is a smooth rotation... I want more of a limit on turning speed, as opposed to instant snap rotation to look at the mouse.

a code more like more like

code:
if(mouseIsClockwiseOfObject){
_rotation++
}
if(mouseIsCounterClockwiseOfObject){
_rotation--
}

thanks freinds

Turning One Sound Off, But Not The Other
Hi there, I read you can only have one sound object. I have a demo that has a voiceover sound, and background music. I did:

voicey = new Sound();
voicey.attachSound("chapterone");
voicey.start();

And I then I threw the bgmusic in a MC and stop it with the button. SO I can get the background music to stop and the voiceover keeps going. But when I click the off button for the voiceover it stops all the sounds. Make sense? I want to have control over both sounds.

Thanks!

Turning Buttons On And Off
Hello all,
I'm thinking there should be a simple answer to this: I have menu with 10 buttons, each loads a movie. What I want to do is turn off the button action of the movie that is currently loaded and then turn it back on again when another movie is loaded.

For example, if your click on the Portfolio button, the Portfolio.swf loads into level 100. While you are in the Portfolio section you can't click on the Portfolio button and load it again.

Hope this is clear. Thank you in advance
