Hi all,

I'm working on a project which uses the LocalConnection object to control multiple flash pieces across a page. Specifically there can be an mp3 player (for the website), a single track...

Yes you can.

You can append a variable to the .swf call in your embed/object tags of the html page that calls the movie. Then in the flash piece, on frame 1, you would have a bit of code that...

The button needs to send some variable to let the asp(or whatever type) page to grab the appropriate thumbs.

I then have image names sent to me via .asp and store them in an array as...

Excellent, thank you kindly. I'll try it out after dinner then. ;)

BTW the text will just be a Response.Write vomit as in:

&headlines=A lot of text that is put in there to say something cool...

If you had an object on the stage named say, BOX, you could put the following code on BOX:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this._x+=1;
}

This would make the object BOX move 1 pixel a frame. If...

Thank you for your reply. I shall try that solution out for sure.

The text that I will be using is generated on the fly from a database, so do you suppose your solution might still work?

I...

for (x = 1; x <= 30; x++) {
_root.Grid["s" + x].gotoAndStop (4);
}



You almost had it there mate. ;)

I have a dynamic text field that I need to do some special formatting on the text that it contains. I need to be able to grab the first line of text (however many characters that that ends up being...

There is nothing wrong with this file. Or your array, or your strings.

The location of 'and' in your text is purely coincidental for the carraige returns. I mean, what do you suppose the text...

Showing some code is always helpful, as in:

1) your populated string array, or a sub-section of it and
2) the code you are using to put it in a textfield.

In the interim you can try wrapping...

"and bear in mind it was written by a guy who uses Flash mostly for making presentations and cartoons;-)"

lmao, really? I couldn't tell :P j/k

Well the problem really is that "the act of...

hiya fitchic77,

long time no help. :D

My rule of thumb is that I primarily use buttons to capture user interaction only. That is, my button objects are buttons with only the HIT state defined,...

Nevermind what I said before.

The way you have your .swf internally, my previous advice will not help you too much. The act of dropping a charm onto the bracelet should also set the _root.charm#...

you need to learn about tweening on a motion path. Basically you would make a circular path that is the same size as the circle being drawn and have the .png travel along it over time, and in the...

Glad to help. ;)

If they follow a linear path and they are all known, then you could use loadMovie("someMovie.swf"); on the last frame of every movie which calls the appropriate "next" movie. There might be a delay...

For an image name that is dynamically created in flash, var imgVar


on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:imagePop('" + imgVar + "');");
}



Or if you already know the image name:

Not very hard at all.

Large grey box and a bg colored box slighty smaller than the grey one, centered, and on a higher layer.

Use a tween to shrink the BG colored box.

done, refine...

Not inherently in flash, but you could do it in illustrator or fireworks, i think, and import it.

Hmm I have never encountered a situation where I would want to define a function within a function. Although because I didn't know if it would work I just made this:



someVar = 3;
function...

on(release) is another option. Just depends on what part of the activity of pressing and releasing a button you want the action to occur on.

My preference is the release action, that way if the...

The way i do it is setup a variable that tracks which button has been clicked. The onRealease function swaps the _name of the button in var currentButton to the new button _name.

Then I run a...

_level0.clip(whatever the number).charm1 --- hmm you almost had it.

_level0["clip" + countVar].charm1

Give that a shot. For this to work though there has to be a charm1 clip in the clip#...

As a user is typing in information to a telphone number field I would like to auto format it as they go along. For instance, adding in the ( ) and - as they go along.

So far I can get the () to...
