OK found it!

eval(critter_pressed_new).gotoAndStop("poof");

Knew it would be something simple!

But if anyone knows of a better way, please let me know. I recall seeing somewhere that eval()...

Nevermind... switched to attachMovie with a random launch and am skipping the array.

Ok, I've been at this for 2 days now, and really need some assistance. It seems like it should be so simple!

The part that doesn't work:


on(release){...

One more note... instead of launching from the library, it would also be fine if all of the movie clips are out on the stage. Whichever is easier!

Three things come to mind...
1. Maybe you are not clicking on the button that you think you are clicking on. Lock all of your layers, the use the eyeballs for each layer and turn on and off the...

Here is some classic drag and drop code that should help you.
Looks like you were missing some parenthesis and you should maybe get rid of that forward slash before the instance name of computer......

Looking for an array guru here... Can you help?!

My project has about 30 movie clips in the library. With an action that comes up every few seconds, I'd like to randomly load one of those 30...

Hi TheJester12,
I had the same problem, and this posting helped me fix it. Thanks flashpipe1!!

Here is the step-by-step way to fix:

If you need help using the custom components to begin with,...

Just to add to this thread of resolution...

I also had the multiple sound error, and it happened when I changed a sound from "Event" to "Stream" in a movie clip.

As soon as I would put it back...

Hi Silentweed,
Thanks! I will definitely look into that.

Hello,
I am working on a Flash project that will run on a local computer (not on the net) in a museum.

Is there a simple way to have some ActionScripting send out some statistics (basically a hit...

Hi Bead,
You're very welcome. I'm not sure why Flash does that, but it's definately a problem.

If I'm ever in the neighborhood I'll be sure to stop by. :)

Hi Kiki,
It could be that when you think you are sending an mc back to frame 1 you are actually sending your main timeline back to frame 1. Do a search for _root. in your code to see if that might...

Hi again,
I noticed that when it loops the "Loading" screen comes up, so I would do a "Find" of your action scripting and look for any code that has a gotoAndPlay(1);, or see if you had a frame...

Hi there,
I tried your page and saw the looping glitch. My guess would be that perhaps you copied and pasted some frames, and that there is an action on a frame that exists where it shouldn't...

Hello,
I had a similar problem with Flash 8 - where text would disappear from my project. Oddly enough it only happened when the program was being run on a server, not locally.

Bu anyway... to...

Hi yeps,
It is static text. That's a good idea - break the text into a graphic. If I don't find a more direct solution I'll try that. Thanks,

Hi all,
Hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but I am looking for the same solution. I have a main timeline which needs to have a few FLVs play (but I don't want there to be any pause once the...

There may be better ways, but I know you can send a normal javascript command from Flash to html with the "getURL" command:


on (release) {
getURL("javascript:myjavascriptcommand");
}
Or, to...

Hi,
I had the same frustration with the "click to control" for any Flash or Quicktime content. Fortunately Dreamweaver now fixes this.

"Ask the Geezer" is right, there should be a folder called...

Hi,
Thanks! I could even put a small html file (with the controls) into my Flash project using the browser example. :D

Hi Louis,

Hi Louis,
Would you happen to know how I can have a slider in Flash put out a numeric value to external javascript?

All of this is about trying to replace an existing slider that is in an html...

Hi Louis,
I tried the on rollover, but unfortunately I would have to make sure that the slider button is actually pressed (otherwise, as you said, if the cursor gets moved over the hitbox it will...
