That totally did the job. Thanks for your help. I do find the different structure brought on by MovieClips confusing. I guess I'm going to have to start thinking about them as folders within folders....

The page with the buttons on it including my test for the flag and a little bit of code to write the current variable to a text box:


tardis_mc.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();

That sounds like the right kind of thing, but in plain English, how would I go about doing that. I can see that the flag does change to the correct value, but maybe it is locked into the disallowed...

I'm using a variable flag in action script to prevent a button to be clicked when the movieclip it launches is still running. All the Actionscript runs from one section and all the event handling is...

I know what you mean. They are a pretty good client actually and this is the second time around I am designing for them. I think the problem this time is that we have no deadline so they have all the...

Hey, great music on your site. Very William Orbit. Did you make it yourself?

You don't want to have many bright colors or obscure navigation.

Thanks for the comments. To be honest I was looking for something a lot more straightforward. The mockups are in chronological...

Could you guys do my a favour? I have a client that wants a site for a range of male grooming products. He wants to target 20 somethings who...

Thanks for that, I'll give that a try. I never did figure out the point of all that sub-pixel thing. Another feature I would appreciate would be a Numeric Transform tool for rotations and resizes and...

You can have a movieClip installed as the standard button state and just have a stop(); action script on the first frame. You could the use the on release code to gotoandplay the next frame in the...

I remember doing something like this once. I basically had a MovieClip embedded into the OVER state of the button. Make your movieCLip save it in the library and drag and drop it into a keyframe on...

I am setting up a Flash movie with a variety of bitmaps and just want to have it play at a fixed size. In this case the "34.3" kind of positioning thing is redundant and I find it makes for very...

Liked your site by the way. Really clean and spare, just the way I like it.

In regards to your code, that looks great, but I am wondering if it just works for Movie Clips as opposed to Symbols....

1) ACTION SCRIPT INSTANCE SWAPS
I have a little movie clip that zooms a picture in and out. I want to play the movie clip over and over but with a different image each time a button is...

I know the sound drops out at the break beats on the second track. I will be implementing this as a sequences set of sounds from some better quality loops so this will be much improved in the final...

I'm putting this Flash Intro together for a client and have to choose from two possible soundtracks. I wonder if you would tell me which you think better...

Ultimately we seem to be getting to the point where we realise that Flash is not a delivery platform for sequenced audio tracks. I find it very frustrating that the only way to play skipless audio is...

Whew, that was comprehensive. I had read about that null sound technique and hadn't gotten around to try it yet. I also wondered about just having each sound set to STREAM in its own movie clip and...

I am trying to make an animated sequence synced to a sountrack built from 3 second chunks of audio. Basically I want Flash to act as a mixer and effectively create music for a minimal download. Catch...

I have a friend who has got it in his head that he wants the eponymous "running man" on his website. Does anyone know anywhere I can get that kind of thing as a downloadable. Looking for a short...

Thanks for that. Seems a little clunky but it seemed to work. Of course it then threw the rest of my coding out the window for some reason!


on (release) {
stopAllSounds();

Hello chaps,

I am a designer just picking up Flash having cut my teeth on Director and Lingo originally. Funny way of doing things I know?

I have a little slide show thing running that fades...
