So your button could have an onRelease event handler that calls loadMovie(), sounds like. One way would be to load the images into a placeholder movie clip. If you're attaching code directly to the...

Hi Chill, are you familiar with loadMovie() or loadMovieNum()? Might be just what you need.

p.s What version are you using?

PHP and Flash get along really well, sounds possible to me. You probably don't need to do *everything* server-side, you could set up Flash to deal with incoming text and images.

If it's really...

Interesting. Just tried that, entering 01, 02, 08, 09 (no quotes). The getSelectedItem.data returned 1, 2, 8, and 9, and the data type is shown as number. So somewhere in there flash is recognizing...

If "20040101" is a string, maybe you could use "01", "08" and "09", etc. as string values, that seemed to work fine. If you need to do it with ActionScript, that is.



Do you mean that you...

Looks like it's possible with sortOn(), but you'd have to enter the array elements as objects instead of arrays.

From the help files on sortOn() method of arrays:

This following example creates...

How about this? It uses more current syntax, don't know if that's a problem with older players.



total = monthArray.length
for ( var i = 0 ; i < total ; i++ ){
mcName = monthArray[i] +...

Looks like it's not specific to combo boxes. Same thing with this code:


myArray = new Array( );
myArray[0] = 01 ;
myArray[1] = 02 ;
myArray[2] = 03 ;
myArray[3] = 08 ;
myArray[4] = 09 ;...

Not sure about this, but I thought we need to use fscommand() to access javascript stuff from Flash?

hi datguy

Flash recognizes only a few html tags, I'm pretty sure that img isn't one of them.

If your images are jpegs, you can use loadMovie or loadMovieNum to load images dynamically. You'd...

for ( var i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ ) is called a for loop. It's basic scripting that you can find out about in a lot of places. There might even be a tutorial here at flashkit.

You don't...

That's the basic idea. How you use it depends on how your movie is set up. What have you tried so far?

:-)

Open the library, then open the button symbol. If you're seeing a border in your movie, there's probably still some graphic content in the button's up, over and/or down states. Just delete anything...

What do you have so far?

Tickles? Cool. :)

I just got through the book OOP with ActionScript by Hall and Wan. It's name isnt' really accurate, it should be called Advanced ActionScripting: OOP, Components, plus some Tips,...

Yikes. If you'd rather avoid the deepest darkest tunnels of the Library basement, you could add a little code above ground (on the timeline).

As a simple example, if you have components named...

Are you familiar with Math.random? You can use it to get random numbers within a certain range, then you can use those to access things in your movie randomly.

Wanna try?


for ( var i = 0 ; i...

Yeah, if you've stored the path to the movie clip in the variable. In the first example above, the path to the movie clip is stored as a variable. Flash recognizes it as that and can use it directly....

OK, let's back up a little, then take a running start. :)

How did you fill your scroll pane with text and buttons?

There's a way to make the text itself behave like a link. The text field would have to be enabled for html text (I assume that's possible with the scroll pane, but don't really know.)

I made a...

Hi Clint,



Hmm. When I click on button 2 it plays section 1 and then section 2. What's not working?

Have you tried adding in some trace actions like

trace( "_root.nowPlaying is " +...

Hi she,

It's a little hard to understand your question, but after looking at the site, it seems that you have some button kind of things that don't line up with the text.

What do you mean by...

Hi magentaplacenta,

The only part of your post that I can understand is your first question, "Is there a maximum flash canvas width?". (The rest, I suspect, can only make sense to someone who's...

On second thought...

"I want to run hittest on a movie clip whose name is stored inside a variable whose name is stored inside a variable."

Do you mean that the name is stored as a String? Like...
