Hey guys,

I'm having extreme difficulty coming up with an effective preloader for an FLV that I want to load from an http address. I want the movie to load in full before playing, so that it...

Just a hunch,

but I believe you might need to have an object you're referencing with your parameters. For example, the "_ymouse" should probably "_root._ymouse" and the "_y" should be "this._y",...

Hey! It's been a long time since I was here. I've got a bit of a problem I'm trying to troubleshoot. I'm stumped, so here's the deal:

I have a .swf that rotates through dynamically loaded...

Thank you very very much! That totally solved my problem. These are the most useful flash forums I know, thanks to people like you and alillm.

Hey everyone. I've been beating myself up over this for a bit now, and the internet isn't being very helpful so far... I've reached a difficult point in my tile-based turn-based strategery game. ...

Now that's a pretty game. I, too, was thrown off by the controls, though. Also, the "How to Play" and "Play" buttons would show up if I rolled over them on any screen (well, at least the map and...

Nice, interesting game. I agree with Alluvian and ImprisonedPride, however; the paddle should remain rotated even when it moves, and there should be a way to lose, such as when the ball passes the...

Everything works fine for me as well, running OS X 10.3.9, Safari 1.3.2.

Unlikely though it'd seem, perhaps none of those macs have the latest Flash player installed?

Pretty cool. A way to see how many more hits you can take would be nice, though. ...at least, I didn't notice it if there was one.

Nice game. The explosions are still a bit on the loud side, though. You may want to consider limiting the 'screen shake' to just when the character is hit, not when enemies are struck/missiles are...

That's quite a fun game. While I don't have anything too insightful to add, I did notice a bug or two; frequently when your hero is attacking a specific enemy, and is commanded to do something else,...

The simplest method of achieving that, to my knowledge, would be to use the Tween class. If you're unfamiliar with it, then there's an excellent tutorial on it here:...

I haven't exactly grasped what you're trying to accomplish here, but I have noticed that your "if(_root.foundation1_MC=true)" should be "if(_root.foundation1_MC==true)", or it won't work.

EDIT:...

Out of boredom I spent a little time toying with this, and eventually came up with this.


onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += charspeed;
while...

Thank you very much! This appears to be exactly the code I need. Though admittedly I still have to struggle through the tangled mess of tweens and dynamic loading I've assembled. I'll see if I can...

Thank you! That works. Though admittedly I'm still having problems; the loaded .swfs consist entirely of scripted tweens of externally loaded images. I'm realizing that it's not adequate to have a...

Hey all.

I have a host .swf which loads 4 smaller .swf files at startup. These files play and loop indefinitely. They're each loaded into different movie clip instances, so that I can add...

Well, excuuuuse me, princess. :p

Honestly, I've just been using set() because I found it whilst combing through the built-in ActionScript index. ...Now I know what all those people who use...

Not exacty sure what's goin' on, here, but I think what you want is

set ("A" + B, 123);

Ah, I see. I tried it out and I got the same error; apparently Number() can't be on the left side of an equation... it works if you type it this way, however.
_root.score = Number(_root.score) + 1;

Could you please abstain from making so many different topics? You already posed this question in a post in your other thread.

You probably have to define _root.score as a Number; it seems to be interpreting it as a string.

Try
Number(_root.score) += 1;
instead.

Thanks, but I'm using 10.3.9... and I'm merely trying to expand it. It keeps telling me that there's an error... and I've tried expanding it on two different computers.

You could also label the images numerically (i.e. 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg) and have flash load 'variable + ".jpg"' or something of that sort. You would have to check if the load was successful, and if...

My guess would be that it's not reading 'targe-1' correctly... probably interpreting it as targe minus one. Not sure, though.
