@arkitx - Thanks! It took me a while to figure out what your code does, but I've got it now. It's brilliant, thanks :)

function f_choosePhoto(photoNum)
{
var photos:Array = ["photo0","photo1","photo2"];

var path:String = (photos[photoNum]);

var bdata = new this[path](560, 380);
var bmp = new...

Ahh, OK :) Thanks. I'm a bit pedantic, so I used graphics for static images without ever trying to add ActionScript, so I never found that out.

Thanks again

Thanks - I've never tried grouping objects, will give it a go. Do you happen to know what the difference is between a graphic and a Movie Clip? It seems to me that they have exactly the same...

HI,

Not sure if this is the right forum to post on, but here goes.

I've been working with Flash CS4 for the last few months and (due to the immense learning curve) I found myself with an...

Panic over! One of the images broke somehow and was replaced by a *massive* red square. I managed to discover it by copying every frame individually into a new file, then burrowing down and deleting...

I have been working on this app for a month now: I have got to the last stages of polishing and debugging, made a change (I changed a variable mc.height to a number to test something) pressed...

Thanks. I feel like there should be a nice clean way to get a button to trigger a specific frame within a nested movieclip, but all the online suggestions seem to be incompatible with AS3.

I've...

If there is nothing wiping the text boxes after they're published, it sounds like the AS to write to the text box is not running.

I am a newbie to Flash, but is it possible to run a debug and make...

I've been looking around online for an answer and the suggestions I come across don't seem to make much sense.

I have Two MovieClips: mc_SystemDesignTL and mc_Solar Radiation.

In every frame of...

Sorry for the (massively) late response. Thanks, but it was navigating the AS Panel that was bothering me. I wanted to just be able to click one name and know it was exactly what I wanted.

Still...

Hi,

I have a flash application that is split into 12 frames at the top level.

When I view the Actions pane, the Scene 1 list reads:

ActionScript: Frame 1
ActionScript: Frame 2
etc

That's brilliant! That worked perfectly, thanks :)

The reason I've done it this way is because there are 53 different videos that the user should watch, but can choose to watch in any order. Site...

Although this hasn't fixed my problem, I realised that having


var WaterComplete = 0;

in the root would override any future alterations. So I've chagned that to


var WaterComplete:Number;

I think this is the same problem I had a few weeks ago. Someone here suggested that I add this into root:


this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);

function...

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a site map, which draws a tick over the sections of my app that have been completed. I've figured out how to draw the tick and how to pass variables from root to the...

I wouldn't have been able to without the error that my first attempt at fscommand gave me. It wasn't at all ambiguous. Basically, it said "UNC paths are not supported".

Kind of hard to be confused...

Couldn't wait. It is, it's the UNC path business again.

I'm going to put in for a new laptop and special privileges.

Thanks for your help. :)

... drat

Is it possible that the reason this isn't working is because my work is saved on a UNC path? the fscommand (which is pure genius and I will be using from now on, thanks for the...

Thanks for the link. I'll investigate and see if I can figure out fscommand :)

If you've got a minute could you tell me what file types the NavigatetoURL command are appropriate for? because I can...

It doesn't. Nothing appears in Compiler Errors, Output or any of the screens available. I am a newbie so I may not be looking in the right place.

Hi,

I'm working on a Flash project (which will eventually be published as an .exe - not sure if that makes any difference) which has buttons which need to open up external files.

The external...

Hi,

I am trying to import some .swf files into a PowerPoint presentation. Before I go any further I need to emphasise that it is important that they work within the presentation, not as an...

ooh! Actually, if I could make a tick sign appear above the areas they've completed that would be perfect!

Hi,

OK. I work in e-Learning. My first flash project is an interactive application that teaches the user about three areas of environmental awareness, and between 2 and four technologies that can...
