Hey there,

I'm trying to change over my concept site from flash 4 to 5, never did get it anywhere near finished in 4. Anyway, I have a variable loading in from file that contains the text i want...

Yes, that's right, just a / will refer to the main timeline of the movie from any movie clip.

Good luck,

I believe, if you go to the View menu, you will be able to select either anti-alias or anti-alias text.

That's about all the control that you can have over it though.

Hope this helps,

Guru,

Thanks....it's getting closer to working, slowly.

If you could just take a look at a bit of code, and let me know what, if anything, I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it.

Funner,

Thanks, I'm giving it a try. Just heard from a friend that if you're masking a text field, you it won't accept any actions you try to execute on it, as in changing the variable for...

Pope,

Yes, I'm just loading text into variables and then creating a movieclip for each one.

I'll try creating another movieclip to set all of their visibilities to false.

Thanks,
...

No worries, more help is better than no help right

Well,

Find out the size of your stage, go Modify/Movie and check the dimensions of your movie.

Then, if you want your little movieclip to go from one side of the screen to the other, start it...

wha????

Is that what you see when you test the movie????

The movie clip will show up on the timeline and stage as just one frame when you're editing the movie, but when you test it it should...

hmmmmmm....

I don't know about the refresh rate, as far as I can think, yes, you do have to rely on the frame rate that you are using for the animation.

If you want to speed up the motion a...

Is there a way, inside of a movieclip, to get it to set a variable to it's own instance name???

Or, is it possible to get the movie to do and unload movie on itself????

Any ideas,

Hello,

I'm just wondering if it's possible to mask an editable text field....I'm trying to do this with text that is being imported from file, otherwise I'd just use a symbol.

Will this work,...

Hey, stupid ;-)

on the main timeline, find the keyframes that you are having as your loop...select them all, right-click, select copy frames.
Then go Insert/New Symbol, choose Movie Clip from...

Give this a try....

keyframe1:
set variable ("i", 0)

keyframe2:
Set Property ("objectname", X Position) = "i"
set Variable ("i" = i + 1)

keyframe3:

Run a little check like this, should work

If (distx < 0)
Set Variable: "distx" = distx * -1
End If


Think that should do it,

Hello,

Alright, here's the deal, if anyone has any insight or ideas I would really appreciate them.

I am importing text from file in an swf I am creating. The text is put into a variable and...

Make whatever you have looping into a movieclip, place a keyframe at the end of the movieclip with the following action in it:

Go to and Play (1)


Then take that movieclip and put it on the...

mac,

K, I actually know how to do this one. For revealing the edges underneath, you'll need to use a mask, and do frame by frame modifications of it so that it will follow the laser along, it's...

this might be what you're looking for.

Inside of the html page containing your flash movie, there is the section with the OBJECT IMBED or something like that. In there it should have the size of...

Thank midi,

I'll give that a try. At the moment I'm just running through a loop to remove them, but it usually ends up crashing flash so I don't think it's quite the "best" way to go about it.
...

I'll give it a shot, no promises but what the hell eh.

send it to the following address though, not my email at flashkit.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's a way to get a movieclip, which has been duplicated a whole bunch of times, to .....I dunno....querie itself and find out it's name, and then unload said movie...

Guru, Rich,

I got it figured out, sorry....my bad. I needed to go in another layer in the tell target.

I was telling the movieclip with all the actions to go to the leave label, not the...

Guru,

Thank you, the loop works fine now, unfortunately, it still doesn't get the movie clips to go to the leave section....just kinda does nothing

any ideas??????
