I have a series of images loaded in via XML and assigned to "loady" movieclips. This code works fine:



_root.myMCL.loadClip(_root.myImages[0].attributes.url,_root.loady0); ...

Excellent! Why is the "this" required though? Is it like saying "Hey, now tempWidget is going to be called this equasion I define over here"?

Let's say I have ten widgets that have ten items that need to be turned off. What am I doing wrong here?


for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
var tempWidget = ["widget0" + i];
trace(tempWidget);...

I have a very simple movie that loads an external jpg into a blank "loader" movieclip via a XML file.

Is it possible to animate this image via manual tweens or am I limited to animating it via the...

Sorry, I didn't want to give the impression that I wanted code to steal. I am genuinely interested in learning how it's accomplished.

Thanks for the link.

I'd like to have a 3X3 grid that when a user clicks on a particular square on the grid, that square enlarges while the others shrink. Here's a brief illustration:

I have a dynamic text field I'd like to apply a gradient to. The only think I could think that would work would be to have the text act as a mask for a gradient square beneath.

When I attempt...

I'm trying to create a scrolling effect much like the one viewable here:

Which scrolls left/right depending on the mouse position. I found some (old, old) code that...

I have an input text field in Flash 8 that does NOT have the "Render text as HTML" option selected and is set to capture the input to the "X" variable.

However when looking at the "X" variable, I...

Of course! Will give it a shot - thanks again.

I have an input field, and would like to remove ".com" ".net" ".org" from any strings entered. (basically anything including and following a period)

What's the best way to go about this?

Thanks...

So I haven't figured out why it's appearing, but:

unloadMovieNum(2130706430);

will make it not appear. :)

I have a rather simple swf running in a html page that doesn't have anything to do with a camera or microphone, yet when soime users run it from their machine they get a "Macromedia Flash Player...

Let's say I have a swf with a variable name of "number" that I'd like to be able to set via the url, such as:

http://www.domain.com/page.html?number=4

How do I set up the swf/html to allow...

So adding the stop obviously works, but the "onClipEvent" to the empty movieclip doesn't work, as the (load) portion just calls the "play" when the movieclip first appears on the timeline, not...

I have the following load code:
_root.loaderMC.loadMovie("new.jpeg");and what I'd like to do is to have the timeline hold there until the rather large jpeg has finished loading. What's the easiest...

Ha! Never mind, I just dicsovered the:

startDrag(this, false, 0, 0, -200, -200); arguments.:mrpimp:

I know this is a painfully simple question, but I have something like this:

on (press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}And what I'd like to do is set limitations so as the...

This worked, without the "()".

What a wonderfully simple answer to my question. Thanks for the help, guys.

Is this a dumb question or a brain teaser?

I have a 200 pixel wide text field that will be populated with some dynamic text. I would also like to have this text be underlined so that it resembles a HTML link.

How can I determine the length...

You're exactly right. Initializing the yspeed vairaible beforehand solves the problem in v7, AS2.

Thanks so much.

I have the following code which "scoots" a MC to a location with elasticity:


slideY = function(mc, dest) {
mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._Y = slideMc(this, "_Y", dest, .4, .6);
if...

I may have spoke to soon. The code works great, but if you give the "dest" variable a negative number the jiggle doesn't happen. Is there a way to fix this?

Ah ha!

And I shall name my first born "jbum". :)

Thanks.
