Thank you. :)

What's a good book recommendation for someone who has little to no experience with Actionscript?

Yeah, CS3 solved all my problems as far as QT goes. Bit of a bloated install, though. :)

Weird...do I have to import every single bmp, one at a time? I have over 3,000. Looks like swf2avi will only let me add one at a time!

Giving it a try right now, thanks! I don't have the new Flash yet, but I can see right now that QT really jacks my resolution up.

This swf2avi is interesting, thanks for the tip.

I've got a potential doozy here:

I just assembled a pretty big Flash animation, using nothing but png-24 images (I needed to lay some over each other, so the transparency was key).

It looks...

Am I just doing something wrong here? For some reason, I recall convert lines to fills being much more consistent than it is now.

For instance: I import a jpeg, I trace the image using the...

Excellent! I'll definitely look those up. This is pretty exciting....I understand the logic of how things need to work, its just the syntax I'm not up on. I'm confident I can get the hang of this....

Gotcha.

BTW, would you have any suggestions for a good actionscript book for reference? I just retain information more from books than I do from online docs. Thanks in advance.

thanks for the response.

Yeah, I know it's a big daddy here...I guess I'm more interested in how the logic of it all would work, you know? And what you describe makes total sense. I got the idea...

Hi all,

I've just recently decided to tackle Actionscript, as I want to start developing some games.

Anyhoo, a question regarding binding the mouse to a movieclip (character sprite). My...

Don't know why it didn't work, it just didn't. Whenever I clicked one movie clip, all clips would play together.

Awesome! That works perfectly. Thanks so much!

Can you explain it to me, what exactly you wrote? It looks like the movie clip is looking for the precise position of the mouse, and if its within...

Here is a link to the file in question:

Quick edit: it works well for one clip, but if I apply the code to two clips on the screen at the same time, both clips play when only one is clicked.

Can anyone explain to me how I can make this work?

I don't have an example, because I'm not sure how I should approach it.

Basically, I want to have it so user can click on a movieclip and make...

I sent you a PM with a URL, oldnewbie...let me know what you think?

thanks

I have an .fla, but I'd need to get it from work tomorrow morning.

Since it is possible, could you share with me how you are doing it?

Thanks

The gallery movie *is not* loaded up, in this instance.

I'd like to find a way to make it preload all images once *any* "nav" buttons leading to gallery are pressed.

It will be loaded onto the...

OK, I will try once more.

I have a movie called "nav." In this movie, I have 10 buttons. Each of these 10 buttons lead to respective frame labels in another movie called "gallery." So for...

Hi, I hope this is a clear question:

What I want to do is, have a movie containing several buttons that link to a specific frame in a movie file. From that same frame in the movie file, user can...

I've been searching the tutorials, but I'm not sure I can find exactly what I am looking for.

What I want is---> some images lined up that can be scrolled horizontally...each image is a link to...

Excellent, thanks a lot! Learning something every day with this program...

oldnewbie:

Thanks for the input. How do you suggest I make a proper preloader?

Yeah, I've seen that on mine as well...it's slower by 1/12th a frame, if you are defaulting at 12fps.

I think it really only does this once, on the first load. Afterwards I think its skips over...
