I have a button which I want to use to mute audio, which will change to a un-mute icon when it is clicked, and toggle back and forth.

The thing is, its still visible in the stage after my code....

HTML5 has the canvas element, which is essentially very similar to the stage element in flash. Google brought out swiffy Google Swiffy which converts AS2 animations to HTML5 Canvases, and can...

Hello,

I have a png with transparency in flash, with heavy jpg compression on it. Just wondering if my final swf size could be made smaller by importing a jpg of the same image, and masking it...

I was in a job last week and made a bit of AS2 to sort of "cypher" some text from random numbers.

Maybe someone will find it useful. Thought I'd post it. Tell me what you think, download the...

:O

So simple when you know how!! Thank you so much :)

Hi! I had an onEnterFrame script that would make a cypher of some letters for you. I thought it would be great if I could wrap the code in a function so I could apply it to multiple textboxes at...

heres a picture of the kind of thing i'm on about... not my finest work, but it just shows you generally what it should look like.

Hi buddy,

I would make a movieclip of moving waves (the waves moving horizontally, left to right, right to left whatever!), which just loops and is deeper than your bottle.

Then set this layer...

Hey andy!

Please excuse these very mucky examples, there are much neater ways of doing this

If you have two movieclips and give them instance names of clip1 and clip2 (for example) did you know...

Hi guys!

I have a netstream object playing a video introduction

ns.play(video.flv)

and on another frame of my movie I have a menu, at which point I call

ns.pause()

This script made the text came in letter by letter, at the time of writing I'd tried assigning that text format to the textbox, with no joy - same with changing the text box to bold.

After a...

Did you ever fix this?!

Hi, I have a dynamic textfield "chap1text" inside "chap1textbox", and it is gradually filled one character at a time using a script.

no matter what I do, it isn't going bold!!! Have tried a few...

:thumbsup: I reckon LoadVars sounds like the one to use... thanks man!

Thanks for the reply, but imagine when you have a flash form and you press "submit" and flash submits a name and email address (for example) to a page, surely you can do that without leaving the...

Hi,

I'm making a Flash piece consisting of a few different pages and clicks to take you to different chapters. The company I'm making it for have sent me URL's of pages that will track the person...

I use fontlab, its great. Making a font takes a long time though.

I also use adobe illustrator to draw the letters in a vector format to begin with, then copy and paste them into fontlab

No worries at all, and I completely agree with your comment. I always get worried that I'm just saying something that someone already knows all about, in more detail than me, and/or I've missed the...

Ah, right sorry didn't get that bit! How about using XML? Flash can write to and edit XML documents, its just a small file that you could install...

Sorry, I'll stop commenting if you want, I...

can you upload your fla?

If the text isn't going to change (like, if I had a digital clock, the text would change as the minutes and seconds ticked up), then just click on your text field and change it to "Static text". ...

First, what you've done sounds fine, so make sure you are running as2, as if your project is in as3, it won't get that code. (File > New... > New AS2 Project i think...)

I would just make a white...

Hi. I'm no pro at this, but I'm not a complete noob either. Perhaps this will help.

You need to store all this information (as you say, data/text must be saved). As far as I know, flash isn't...

Thank you very much buddy. Will get on this.

Hi,

I often use boxes which use 3 colours. They have a base color, which can be anything, preferably quite bright, and fairly colourful.

This is the first colour of the gradient that fills...
