Well done.
It's the best way to learn. If a bit slow at times.
Good luck with the rest of the site.

The actionscript book I've got says that the level number has to be an non-negative integer (so "all" won't work).
It also says that PrintAsBitmapNum() can be used to print document levels only, not...

try placing this script on the object you want to move:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//check mouse is inside rectangle (replace edge names with co-ordinates)
if (_xmouse>=leftedge &&...

You're right, you do know the answer, though as the position is random after the first time, where you position them won't make much difference.
You could also use actionscript to...

Being a Netscape user, I can't say I've come across this before, and all I can think of is to check that the Flash plug-in your version of Netscape is the latest one. As you're working with 2004,...

My mistake. The stop();on the first (and possibly only) frame should not have been implicit, but I was busy wondering why you'd want to load the Flash plug-in just to open a new window; why not just...

I'm sure you have a good reason for wanting to do this in Flash:confused: so...

put a movie clip in the first frame and attach this code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
getURL("http://whatever",...

According to Moock's epic book on actionsctript, Flash 5 supports B,I,U,FONT,P,BR and A
Flash 6 added LI and TEXTFORMAT
but no IMG
yet
sorry

as to the anchor tag problem, does it work if you...

Just a minute

Tell you what...
Why not go out and have a drink for everyone you've helped.
I reckon you should be recovering...

I'm not an expert on this, but are you sure you need to use while? As the goto can only happen once in the script, wouldn't if work better?

Could you rename the duplicates and then have code on the main timeline referring to the named copies only?

just a thought

I've never heard of a way to import an image via a text file.
The simplest way would be to always have a picture, but that they can change it when they want (using the same name to replace the old...

hope this helps

all the actionscript is on the box

good luck

Exactly the same as Ivo, word for word.

the speed is set at the start of the main movie. Any clips loaded into that movie play at the same rate, so loading clips of different rates won't make any difference. You can only change frame rate...

This one should be simple:

I have a hairline thickness line which tweens from short to long and back.
Why does it change to a 3point line half way through, then back to thin again?
I'm assuming...

All hail krazydad:D
just what was needed and blindingly fast too

many thanks

Do any of you geniuses know of a way to capture the Back button of the browser so that it can be used to navigate within a movie?
Another impossible request, I suspect, but I live in hope.

cheers...

for line 3, does
_parent.homeTxt.gotoAndPlay(2);
work?

Could you use the print function to save a spool file, then change the suffix to .eps?
Has anyone tried this?
(and being a macman, is it easy to change the suffix in the latest version of Windows?)...

I'm not sure this is the right forum, but hopefully someone knows the answer.
A few months ago I came across a tutorial explaining how to export an image from a flash movie (at runtime) in .eps...

you can add a variable to the on button:
var music = true;
and test when the button is released:
on (release) {
if (music == true){
// do nothing
} else{
//your script goes here
}
}

that's certainly how I'd do it. Probably attached to the keyboard itself so that it only runs when the keyboard is loaded.

good luck

I'm not an expert, but as far as I know if you have, for instance
getURL(http://www.anywhere.com/index.html, _self,"wildebeest")
your browser should show...

sorry about that.
what I meant was that surely the user will have to tell it when the nametag is complete (unless there are a fixed number of characters in which case you could get it to check...
