I was in fact not familiar with the indexOf statement.

That did the trick.

Thanks! :)

A simple but effective method would be to create a new flash file for each portion you want to load, make sure that each file has a preloader and no backdrop and just place a loadmovieNum statment on...

If you can post the .fla I can certainly take a look for ya.

Basically this site is about 99% actionscript driven. The only time / graphical elements are the logo and a few of the glyphs used on the windows.

This developer is using several functions to...

I am not sure if the following is possible but I figured it would be best to ask the experts here.

Suppose I have a statement such as:



value = MENU_GL^FOREIGN_GL^SUB_MENU1


Is it...

Make special note about the case sensitivity that one had me going for a minute.

Great! thanks I will give that a shot.

I have seen this done on a few sites (ie http://www.bullseyecreative.net/)

I am referring to the effect where the position of the navigation in the lower right hand corner is relative to your...

I think I may have answered my own question but if this is wrong someone please correct me.

If my path includes the level then it should work.

For example:

I am not sure how to do this or if it is even possible but...

I have a flash movie (for example sake we will call it movie1.swf), in that movie I have a button that will call movie2.swf by using...

I have been developing in both html and flash for quite some time. My flash skills have certainly increased over the years and continue to improve. However their is still one aspect of flash that...

I bet I can help ya.

This is a site I have been making in the last week. It basically does exactly what you are referring to. A smoothly resizing mask, animated by actionscript. The difference...

Yea, thanks to your help the autosizing seems to work just as I would want it. :) I have been spending the last couple of hours on it trying to refine other parts of the site so its even more cpu...

Gladly,

Basically I wanted to have a site in which the content was encased in one window and if you clicked the navigation to go to another part of the site the window would simply resize to the...

Ok here is the link to the fla as promised. Take a look.

http://homepage.mac.com/althe3rduww/finished3c.fla

Sure, since the fla is 7mb I will post a link to so I don't clog your email. I will have a link here in about 2 hours when I get home from work. :)

If you would like something more advanced I have code embeded in my html that detects the flash version depending on what I say is the requirement and redirects them accordingly.

This page will...

Believe it or not... just using

mc.sizer(20, 100);
Doesn't work on the my main timeline but it does inside one of the movieclips.

Ofourse at that point I need to point to the outside...

Lol silly me. I forgot to identify the movieclip name before the onEnterFrame statment. It all works great now.

Hum You Rock!

That last script seems to work well. The only hiccup I am still working out with it is I can't seem to simply call the function in the timeline. Meaning the resizing only seems to work as an action...

that one seems to work very well. I am evaluating its cpu usage, but so far so good. :)

I gave that new one a try and although it resizes it doesn't do it very smoothly or with any acceleration, although that may be adjustable the other issue is that the _width and _height seem to be...

After further evaluation I have found that the jump to scale as opposed to the smooth scaling happends when the new size is larger in both the x and y dimensions.

Meaning that if I scale a movie...

Well its definatly a step in the right direction. It solves that issue of the cpu usage which is great! :)

The new thing I have to work out yet is this.

When the movie clip is being sized from...

Thanks, I will give that a shot now and let you know if that works.
