Need a good design/graphics person for some freelance work for an upcoming game. Please email me at rice@ricma.com with some examples of past work and I will send a detailed description of what I am...

I guess get used to it, i see people posting jobs on message boards all the time for a few hundred dollars. Most are either scams or people get cold feet and stop responding to emails. Id say only...

I just re-designed Ricma.com, please check it out if you have a chance. We tried to add just a "little" flash to the site for navigation, but make it feel like a traditional site. Please check it...

This is something my company has been working on for almost a year now. The site isn't completely done and we aren't ready to sign up alpha testers but you can see a cool screen shot and read a...

Mark,

do you mean disable the right click so nothing shows up or disable the code ??

If you mean just disable the right click menu then yeah its really easy. There are actually 2 ways to...

Thanks for letting me know.

I just wrote a pretty mean letter to my web host, that is totally unexcusable to be down that long. It also appeared to be a DNS problem and not a web server problem...

i agree it should be native to Flash but there simply is no way. I certainly would have done it that way if i could have. Possibly Flash 6 may have this but i doubt it, i think Macromedia likes the...

oh no Mark, thats not good, it should have worked in that situation. hmm. well i guess its back to the drawing board.

Yeah it not of that much use, its more something to play with than actually...

My company today released a component that allows Flash developers to write custom code to the Right Click button in certain browsers and i thought some people may be interested.

The component is...

I would do it frame based, not a function. DO something like this...

frame 1:
if (MC._height == 35) {
gotoAndPlay(5)
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2)
}

frame 2:

Ok, well it looks like you have a few more problems than just the array and really should re-write a lot of the code. It may seem like a pain now but it'll save you tons in the future.

It...

../gotoAndStop("whatever")

If your html files are in frames you can, but it isn't the easiest thing in the world. Check out moock.org for some good information on FSCommands from one movie to another. You may also want to...

Well for one you dont need that if statement, in your for loop i will always be 0,1, or 2.

Other than that i am a bit confused on what you are typing to do. It seems like it would be much...

No, there is nothing like that in Flash. Actually that reasoning and code is absent in almost every "new" computer language. I haven't seen a lot of it since basic and cobol. You should probably...

on your html page you probably have code that looks something below. You put the "?variablename=variablevalue" code where it gives the location of your file.

<OBJECT...

yes if you put that code in both your object and embed tags, the variable "test" will exist on the root with that value.

no problem

ohh, ok, i think i have a better idea now. Why dont you try something like this...

Put all the MCs for the system into an array. If they are static you can populate the array by hand, other wise...

Well i wouldnt use _dropTarget i would use hitTest. If your dragging MCs you obviously know how to use hitTest. I would do something similar to the following

<CODE>
code for ClipA

on...

Heres what i would do:

Create a movieClip called "myTest"

on frame 1 of myTest put your existing button (the rollover 90 degrees and turns into bigger square) Put a stop command on this frame....

maybe i misunderstood your question now that i re-read it again. If your problem is having movieclips control other movieClips, it may be best to create a attachMovie chain, then each movie can call...

You should never "Guess" or buffer animations for the time to contact the server, you should get a solid confirmation that the information was retrieved.

I do a lot with ASP and Flash, and this...

Lets say you want it to stop when it gets to xlocation 400. All you have to do is on frame 3 say ..

if (xpos > 400) {
stop() or whatever you want to happen
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2)
}
