AS 2 mask several images in a loop

capdetrons — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:18:24 GMT

I'm completely confused here and would appreciate any help with this code where I'm trying to mask some images loaded into a container clip and distributed horizontally along the gallery but I can't manage to achieve it. I think i have tried almost everything besides looking for similar examples. I know I have the masks there from a trace, but I just can't find the way to mask the loaded images. Thanks for reading...

Code:

myGalleryXML.onLoad = function():Void  {

    images = myGalleryXML.firstChild.childNodes;

    thumbs = images;

    callThumbs();

};



function callThumbs():Void {

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", getNextHighestDepth());

container_mc._x = 50;

container_mc._y = 50;

    var clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

    var preloader = new Object();

    clipLoader.addListener(preloader);

    for (i=0; i<12; i++) {

        thumbURL = thumbs[i].attributes.thumb_url;

        myThumb_mc = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(i, container_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

        myThumb_mc._x = 200*i;

        myThumbMask_mc = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("thumbMask_mc"+i, container_mc.getNextHighestDepth());

        myThumb_mc.setMask(myThumbMask_mc);

        clipLoader.loadClip("images/"+thumbURL, myThumb_mc);

    }

}

How to pass a parameter to a MovieClip

panoss — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:50:05 GMT

I have a flash application (the main movie) and in it a movieClip (I call it my_dialog).
When the main movie starts, I want to pass a parameter (the user's username) in to the movieClip:
(code in main.fla: my_dialog.username("panoss")).
(In my_dialog I have made a function called 'username').
But trying to trace it in the my_dialog, the output is that the username is 'undefined'.
I think the problem is that the movieClip 'my_dialog' has not yet been loaded at the time of the call.
What can I do;

A little help

Hello everyone. I'm new to AS2 but I'm in the middle of designing a game. I've used the website to get some code; but it doensn't always work and I don't want to bump the thread. I'm using a listener when the Enter key is hit to go to the next frame; but that applies to every frame, not just one.

Code:

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUpHandler);



private function onKeyUpHandler(event : KeyboardEvent) : void

{

    switch(event.keyCode)

    {

        case Keyboard.ENTER:

            nextFrame(10);

            break;

    }

}

and when the animation for a character is done playing, I want to go to the next frame on the timeline; which also doesn't work.
Here's a video; can you tell me what I'm doing wrong.

AS 2 Can anybody assist me with a AS2 coding problem?

kijkij — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 09:43:02 GMT

I am quite new to flash and trying to learn Action script is a challenge!

Attachment 74279

Can anybody help me with something I am trying to set up if you see the attached picture I am attempting set up a small network radio and have 4 different players on offer and five different stations the listener needs to select the player first THEN select the station of their choice.

The player will pop up after player and station buttons are selected
Due to the number of players and stations there are twenty different playlist URL addresses.
Could anybody help me as to the best way to achieve what I want to do and also help me with the action script?

The Action script needs to be in AS2

Many thanks

(AS2) Password system not working?

Poepipo — Wed, 29 May 2013 01:17:38 GMT

I've googled on how to use the password system, I tried that but it didn't work. When I type in the correct password, it should go to the key "menu" but when I typed in the wrong password, it still goes to the key with the correct password. Here's my coding for the button:

Code:

on(release){

        if (passw eq "pass", "password", "cookies"){

                gotoAndStop("menu")

        }else{

                gotoAndStop("credits")

        }

}

I'm certain I put my input textbox in the variable-'passw' but I can't seem to make the wrong password entered go to a different frame other than the frame "menu". Any help, please?

AS 2 "Remember"/Keep last movieclip changes

WoRmTa1L — Tue, 28 May 2013 11:22:52 GMT

hi all!
I'm having an issue: We are creating a interface with adobe flash cs5 (actionscript 2 only) and when we change the buttons rotation and press buttons they all go back to the initial position when we change to another frame, is there any way to make flash "remember"/keep the initial positions they initially had?

thanks in advance,

W.

AS 2 Play/pause buttons controlling a movie within the child file

Kelly_vdw — Sun, 26 May 2013 19:54:27 GMT

Hi all, really hoping someone can urgently help. I have built a rich media expanding banner (by rollover) in CS5, AS2. It's polite load, so i have set up a parent file, which pulls through the child file (expanded file). The child file holds the video for which i have built play and pause buttons - which work correctly controlling the video if you export only the child swf file. However when i play the parent file and rollover to view the expanded banner (child file), so essentially when i play the child file through the parent file, the play pause button no longer controls the video, however the scrubbing bar still works fast forwarding through the video. It doesnt make sense as all the code for the play pause button is in the child file which works on its own. Attachment 74275

I have attached the FLA files, please help :)

about clicking on subject and continuing

wong93 — Sun, 26 May 2013 05:33:15 GMT

Hey guys I need help with action script 2.0 for flash. I'm totally new in this subject.
There's this assignment where I need to include at least 1 action script in my animation and I've figured out what to do but I have no idea what keyword to search for this. So I hope someone can help me out.

What I'm gonna do is that in my animation , there will be 3 items , let's say A,B,C and a person standing beside it. And then the user will click on either one of the items and the person will start talking about it,same goes to item B and C. Then there will be a continue button on corner right so I can proceed with the animation, also is it possible to make the item unclickable once being clicked?? so that the user will not be clicking on same item more than once.

It'll be good if there's a you tube link or some video ,thanks :)

PS: Yes ,only action script 2.0,cause my lecturer is using an outdated software ,so she asked to use only 2.0 lol

AS 2 Game Over Screen help

SirAnon — Sat, 25 May 2013 13:34:24 GMT

So for school the assignment is to make a game with AS2 in Flash CS5.5. What I'm going for is a sort of avoider game where enemies scroll up from the bottom of the screen and the player avoids them. I have the enemies scrolling up and resetting at a random position at the bottom of the screen again, but when the player hits an enemy the enemies keep scrolling and restting. I'm not very used to AS or coding in general, but I tried adapting various tutorial codes for this to work, but to no avail yet. I hope you guys can make sense of all this.

The code on the enemy mc is as follows:

Code:

onClipEvent (load) {



 function reset(){

        this._y=400;

        this._x=random(550);

        enemySpeed=random(4)+3;

 }

 function reset2(){

        this._y=500;

        this._x=random(550)+550;

        enemySpeed=0;

        this._alpha=0;

 }

 reset();

 var taart:Boolean = false

 

 }





onClipEvent (enterFrame) {



 if (_root.spaceship.scrollStart){

        this._y-=enemySpeed+_root.mainGround.groundSpeed;

 } else {

        this._y-=enemySpeed;

 }





 if (this._y<-10) {

         _root.score+=100;

        reset();

 }

 

 if (taart==true) {

        reset2();

}



 if (this.hitTest( _root.spaceship ) ){

         taart = true;

        _root.gotoAndPlay (2);

        

}





}

On the frame there is the following script:

Code:

stop();



numEnemy=3;



for (i=2; i<=numEnemy; i++){

        enemy1.duplicateMovieClip( "enemy"+i, i+100 );

        

}



score=0;

MX04 X and Y of a nested Rotated Clip

Manic_Man — Wed, 22 May 2013 07:18:41 GMT

I need to 'lock on' one Movieclip to a fixed point on another. BUT the other is inside of another clip that can be rotated. When the clip is rotated, the X and Y of the clip inside the rotated clip isn't changing so Local to Global or anything like that doesn't want to work. I've tried some basic Trig to workout where the point is but My math skills don't seam to be up to it.. Basiclly, lets refer to the lock-on clip as 'Lock', the rotating clip as 'Target' and the clip inside that which I need to lock onto 'TargetPoint', so we have _root.Lock, _root.Target and _root.Target.TargetPoint

Any ideas?
