could you explain that code to me please? I'm afraid I'm one of theose people who likes to understand what i'm writing :)

Thanks, Felix

I had this problem when i was making one of my first flash websites, I wnted the pages to animate in, then animate out before going to the page that the user had selected.

The basic idea is that...

Does anyone know of a way to search the contents of an input text box to find certain words? I want to identify and blank-out swear words that users might put into a form on my site.

I am using...

Check out this site. It may not be terribly complex, but it's clever, it's smooth and it's as funny as anything!

A very nice site, the menu system is great (grumpmonkey, I hear you on the Gorrilaz style!)

The only problem I have is the menu on the 'Arsenal' page, It looks like it's trying to emulate the Mac...

yeah, like with the .fla I uploaded, you could have a range of clips that could be attached then, as I said, you'd just have to put the names of them into an array, get flash to create a random...

To randomly select the objects you will need to put the instance names of the movieClips into an array so that you can make a random number and use that to select the object from the array. random...

seems to work fine for me! I would suggest getting a percentage preloader though because if the user has no idea how long they are going to have to wsit, they may not stick around to see what the...

You can mask dynamic text, but you have to embed the font outlines.

To do this, select the dynamic textField and open the properties panel. click the 'Character' button and select 'All...

Well guys, I got it to work, Thanks for all your help. Just in case anyone else is still having problems, here's the .fla file that I ended up with. The movie is poor, but the code is sound. It just...

Thanks deamothul, I'll keep on trying to get my head around AS and AS 2.0.

Thanks again,

Felix.

but what actually is a 'class'?

At the risk of sounding stupid, what do you mean by OOP? Also, what is a class syntax?

cheers,

Felix.

Thanks guys, thats cleared up a few things for me! I have one more question though, I'm planning on getting MX 2004 soon, and I'm wondering if all this AS stuff I'm learning now will only onfuse me...

For a start, try to steer clear of scenes, I don't know about MX 2004 but I know that up to MX there are really unreliable, instead, just label frames. This also means that if you mave things around,...

I have just started to get into the complex side of action scripting and haven't found anywhere that explains some of the simple syntax. My question is:

If I create a simple function Like so:
...

Just a question then, I tried a few changes to th original tutorial script that showed nothing and them 100% when tested, even in streaming mode. When you test in streaming mode, does it only run the...

yeah kinda like that, but instead of the preloader code being on a different page, I'd like it to be a function. This is basically what I want to happen:

A button calls a function that loads a jpg...

on the tutorial site there is asection that says how to show the amount loaded in text form. The problem is that I don't understand it and I don't know how to turn that information into a bar...

Hi guys,
I have recently read a rather confusing tutorial at actionscript-toolbox and have finally got my head around what all the scripting actually does.

I would like to know where to put in...

First of all, I'd like to say that this is not another request for a preloader, I know how to make them. However, I do have a few questions on wher to place them for dynamically loaded items.

I...

The site is cool, very nice, just a few points:

The globe is very cool, but also a bit overpowering, try making it a bit smaller so it doesn't feel so dominant. Maybe it's just that it encroaches...

use CSS mate, It'll give you a much better result than tables and you can get rid of the gap in the shadow bottom right. Put the .swf in a div that is nested inside another div, then simply put some...

If all your AS is frame referenced, have you considered using frme labels, that way it doesn't matter if the frame move around the label will always be the same

The Reume factory section has no preloader on it and , although I may have missed it, I didn't see one on the main site. Put preloaders in to stop people getting bored and going away.
