so you only want it raised to the highest depth when you're dragging it?

you can't 'cancel' the getNextHighestDepth(), but you can just set it back when you're done. First sample the origianl...

gotoAndStop is not a method of the button class. try making your buttons into movie clips, control the rollOver/Out and press/release functionality with AS just like you're doing above, and either...

not sure what all your fuse stuff is about, that's obviously someone elses class.
but besides that it looks like what may be the problem is that you start at i=4 and within three frames, a fraction...

not really clear on what you're asking. what do you mean 'on top of its frame only'? also, do you want the last question to fall into the background, or disappear from the stage altogether?

also...

the .gotoAndPlay() method doesn't support scenes and only takes one parameter, a frame number. You need to use the gotoAndPlay() global function which does allow scenes, but it only operates from the...

I am using GD Image and PHP to resize image files and maintain transparency. I could only get this to work reliably using PNG, which didn't seem like a problem since the flash app that will use these...

try nesting body parts in sub clips.

so char.legs can be doing whatever they're doing, and you can use the same principle above to control char.head, or char.chest, or whatever.

put another drawing on the second frame of his clip. put a stop() action on both frames so that it doesn't flicker back and forth. add a key listener to toggle the current frame.

So... lets say...

Easy tex, sometimes it takes longer than half an hour, we're all busy too.

Besides your question is a little vague. What do you by change its form. You'll need to use key listeners to pay...

Well a popular way to do preloaders is to have your movie exist on three frames on the main timeline. The first frame is just there for the movie (not the animation) to loop through. The second frame...

do you intend the animation to loop if the loading doesn't complete before it finishes? Also, how you're doing your preloader will dictate how you do this, so it would help for you to describe your...

try leaving off the 'var' and data type assignment

_root["mcl" + i] = new MovieClipLoader();

My solution isn't some tricky thing that can be bugged i didn't think. The browser will pass the keyboard input to what ever element has focus. If its a drop down menu, the arrow keys will cycle...

that code is fine, so your problem might be with your link array.

on the main timeline i assume you have:


var btlink:Array = new Array("http://www.flashkit.com","http://www.google.com");
...

if you're not in control of the html page, then you don't ad JS. I would recomend adding a button to lure the user into clicking the flash piece, maybe a 'Start Game' button or something.

Is it only happening in IE

Once the flash piece has focus within the browser, the arrow keys will effect it, not the browser. Click on it to give it focus or find a javascript to give it default focus.

Scott, I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but I don't believe flash requests images from the server again if they exist in cache. I use 'Charles' on the mac to track all requests and...

Alas, this how it's always worked, for one reason or another. I've never been able to figure out either why it doesn't work the way you initially tried. If you have a function without parameters you...

it's hard to offer specifics without seeing your code, but I would imagine it like this. You have a few arrays, all with the same length, whose content matches according to element id. So...

It's neither, it's an event handler. The movieClip class naturally goes forward on frame at a time (unless told to stop or go to a specific frame or whatever). When ever the movieclip object 'enters'...

I see. Instead of randomly going through a linear array, try linearly going through a random array. Does that make sense? Instead of having an array of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and randomly getting the 7th...

Sorry, don't know what pm is.

As for your 4 different levels and 2 'containers', my method will require you to load your stuff into the 'bg' clip. This clip will then resize based on the window parameters, as you want, and the...

Thanks, gparis, you connected the dots for me. In my head i had the movie clips rooted to the stage, but of course that's not the case. Steber_j, i've created an example for you to pick apart, I...
