Hi,

I have a full flash site that has a main interface.swf that loads in external swf's as holders for their relevant page contents. E.G. using loadMovie I load portfolio.swf into the mainLoader...

a way i have got round this before is by setting a default loading value into the text area like for example "loading xml data", this is replaced when the loaded data becomes available.

right, including this code (minor alteration to balance braces)

variable = ((120*i) - posX)/ 100;
winkel = ((variable+ (360 / anzahl * i)) * Math.PI) / 180;

the movie begins in a "correct"...

i'll try that now myself but if you want to PM me your email address i can send you the fla if you want.

hi,

well i tried adding that code, i end up with my three objects on top of each other and the movie doesnt respond to mouse movement either now. Just to confirm the code is correct here it is:
...

thanks man but i'm not sure if you might have misunderstood me, i probably didnt explain this very well, sorry. what i want is to have a button on either side of the movie, one to move in one...

Hi,

I have inherited a script that essentially acts like a series of objects orbiting a central object on the x axis (i think its basically this file: http://www.flashangel.de/mx/fs3dmxmenu.swf)....

for those that care ;)

the problem was the targetting of the object:

should have been :


with (eval ("loaderMC.clip" +i))

HI,

I'm loading an rss feed into flash (i'm using 8 but exporting as Flash 6/AS1). I loop through the received XML to output the data in flash using attachmovie, this works fine placing the...

Hi,

I have a series of mcs (as buttons) forming a horizontal nav, when rolled over they play a 40 frame animation, if you are still over the button when the animation begins the next loop then...

load them into a blank movie clip like:


on (press) {
_root.blankmc.loadMovie("Manufacturing.swf", 1);
}

can we see the preloader code?, can confirm i have the same problem as you - works in IE(7) but not firefox(1.06)

got it working with this code:


stop();

//array of animations
anims = new Array("anim1", "anim2", "anim3");

//get rand num between 0 and 2
randNum = random(3);

Hi,

I have 3 different animations on the same timeline seperated by frame labels, I am using setInterval to create a random Interval before another animation is triggerred. At the end of each...

Hi, I have created a scripted animation that works by having two identical movie clips animating (from left to right), one on top of the other. The clip is made up of 4 images connected lenghtways,...

i dont know if i'm missing something but could you not either have the sound inside an mc or inside an external swf loaded into a blank mc?

i've adapted the as from the second one and come up with this which kinda does what i want in terms of the basic effect, however the orignial mc moves as it is duplicated which i dont want, i just...

sorry man, thanks for the help but it still isnt what i'm after, i think the pie analogy may have confused things. but sayin that imagine it like this, a piece of pie that begins as the thinnest...

sorry if i wasnt so clear, i want that effect without the actual slices, i.e. a smooth movement through the degrees as opposed to 45, 90, 135, 180 etc... it would just wipe round smoothly 0-360.
...

maybe this is more of an actionscript question as i'm sure this can be solved with some serious maths scripting but i wouldnt know where to start for that.

you might be better to place all the images in a mc and use the buttons to navigate to particular points on the _x axis of this mc as playing the timeline in reverse is not strictly possible as far...

Hi, i want to make a circular wipe for a mask but i'm having problems. In appearance i want it to wipe from nothing round a full 360 degrees until the circle has been filled (..imagine a circular pie...

I'm using a shared object to make sure that an animation only plays once for each user using this code:


// Retrieve cookies
function getCookies(){
so = SharedObject.getLocal("counter");...

thanks oldnewbie, looks like a good article.

of course, my bad. i've always used sessions rather than cookies so the whole concept is fairly new. So if i set up an incremental counter alongside date and time then do yo think that will do the...
