I've been searching without any luck to get findNearestCuePoint working with my FLV. Events in my flash file are triggered based on cuePoint names, not time.

I understand the findNearestCuepoint...

Good suggestion. So I did that and it still wasn't working. So, after excruciatingly checking my actionscript one line at a time. I found what was causing the MC to stop responding to actionscript....

i'm a bit of a noob using functions, so i need some help. i've got an MC that contains several buttons and depending on where you are in the project, the buttons do different things.

For...

brilliant. works like a charm.

thx!

Looking for some help scripting a pregnancy week counter for a friend. Wants the site to update the current week of pregnancy based on conception date. Found some scripts for countdown timers and...

that's kinda what i figured. So anyone care to chime in on a 'best practices' approach to a flash site with multiple external .swfs? Here's what i'm doing but i'm not sure it's the most efficient:...

I'm getting into some advanced actionscript, but I'm not very efficient yet, so my functions take more lines of code than necessary, i'm sure. So, i've taken all of the global functions and...

for those familiar with laco's tweening prototypes, i need some help. i've got some buttons that scroll an object up and down using the 'slideTo' property. Since it takes about a second (or 2, or...

I've got a function that dynamically loads an image from a database into a dynamically created MC. The image name is generated by a loadVariables action that then calls on an onClipEvent(data)...

it must be a flash player for Mac issue then. (haven't had a chance to check it on a PC yet). Thanks for the feedback, though!

Oh, i must have explained it a little wrong. The buttons don't have any text on them...they're just graphics. And the text boxes are just plain text boxes (not buttons) placed on the stage. I'm...

i have a flash file embedded in an html page that has selectable text and a couple of buttons. Whenever i hold down my mouse button to highlight text or hold my mouse button down over a button, the...

That's what i thought, but for some reason, if i try to run the function on two text boxes at the same time, nothing happens. If i disable one...then the other works and vice-versa.

Any...

one more question... the actual function i'm trying to do takes a few seconds (milliseconds actually) to complete. So how can i pass several calls to this function and have them 'queue up' and when...

you are the man!! Your first suggestion did the trick.

thanks!

I've got a function that does some things to an input text field with a var name of txtVarName. When I use the input text's var name in the funciton directly, the function works properly. Ex:
...

you're right. i looked up the coordinates and the min/max latitude and longitude for the city map i'm using are like a bazillionth of a point apart (ie. the difference between my max & min longitude...

Somar: you are my hero!! Thanks for breaking it down...i'm gonna disect your fla and see if i can get it working on mine. One quick question though: do i just do a trial & error to find the min/max...

Thanks for the response Somar. Two things: i'm thinking that last post (the one i'm supposed to ignore:)) is probably overkill. My map is of a city's downtown...very small area...so i don't think...

that sounds very similar to the lmc_tweens madzigian and I are talking about...didn't know that Flash had builtin ones. Both methods will slide the object without having to use an onEnterFrame,...

dude..you rock.

Thanks for the info...i was oh-so-close to getting this figured. I had an onEnterFrame setup but my code was a little sloppy and it bogged down the player and i got the message:...

i found this post. This is sort of what i'm after, but this doesn't fit exactly what i'm trying to do, i don't think.

Anyone have any ideas??

I'm using the lmc_tween functions to slide an MC (using the slideTo function from this site ) up and down. What i need to do is stop allowing the slideTo function if the image has gotten to a...

I'm working on a map that will display a person's location with a dot. We have the geographical coordinates in Latitude/Longitude form. So, i'm totally lost (i'm TERRIBLE at math) as to how i can...

thanks for posting those. heehee...the last one is a thread i started a while back when i was trying to figure this out. but never got it exactly where i needed it.

Let me know if you make any...
