Currently I am using a rollover function to identify an item on a page within my site. The item is in the form of a movie clip and the item’s description is contained in the action...

Right now the script is located on the main frame. Could you help with where your script get inserted in the sample I supplied. Thanks for your first reply.

I am looking to create a "text balloon" that grows with the amount of text that is inserted in the script below. The Text balloon is a Movie Clip (tooltip). Right now the "text balloon" is sized to...

Landed in San Diego, so now I can go back to work. Thanks again

Traveling this week and don't have my library of books for reference. Quick question. Dynamic Text. Is there a way to dictate where the "line breaks" are in the text? I know there is a better way...

Actually that is very close to what I figured out. I used a "if/else if" instead, but both would work. Thanks for the replys, you have been a big help. Have a safe new years! :)

I am using MX2004 - can't open it.

would the script be the same if the arrow was buried in a MC?

perfect! Why does the AS go on the main timeline, as opposed to inside the button actions?

again many thanks!

Attached is a sample for editing in MX. I am trying to push the button once have it point north, push the button again and have it point east, push it again and have it point south and push...

Check everthing, found a sequence problem and fixed that. Test with the "_root" theory and it worked partially (explain later). Also tested without the "_root", its also worked partially.

When...

I thought that "_root" refer to the main timeline. So if you were calling a "main timeline" function within a MC, then you use "_root". This is a button on the main timeline, calling for functions...

Could you provide a sample, using the above?

Where in Norcal do you live? I am in the small town of Grass Valley just below Tahoe :-)

Ok I'll work on that approach

Here is what I started with


on (press) {
if (MC_P_Distributor._currentframe == 6) {
MC_P_Distributor.gotoAndPlay(7);
} else if...

When I call for a URL I just use:
getURL("http://www.whatever.com","_self");

Not seen Goto Webpage Behavior, but I guess I will search onit to find out.

Using MX2004

I have a MC that rotates to four specific positions (like North, South, West and East). I would like to push one button once and have the "x" point to North, push the button again...

Thanks
I did something similar for a "work around", rather than make the tween all on the same layer in the MC, I used a couple of layers. It works, but it doesn't solve the mystery. I read some...

Every once in a while I get into this corner and can't get out.

Here is a sample of my problem

I want to draw a box using a line that draws itself (tweening) so the first line draws from left...

Your swf is uploaded onto your server?
You swf is embedded into a html doc?

good point

just did a search in the db here in the forum. I did "waving flag" and received better results than flag waving :thumbsup:

found one!

Looking for a quick tut on building a waving american flag. Thanks

thanks

I have used this code for MCs, but it doesn't work for buttons. What is the diff?

Have my site up and running, mixture of Flash and DWeaver. Since I travel around the country a bit I always pull up my site to see how it displays using other connections and hardware.
Looks like I...
