It's been a while since I've had to do anything based on the timeline but I was sure we could do the following: _parent.viewer.gotoAndStop(dell); ... instead of ... _parent.viewer.gotoAndStop(2); The frames keep getting moved or more are added as the layout changes. I thought it was

The standard button components support setting the toggle state of a button to true. Can I achieve the same result with a button I made? Or do I *have* to create a movieClip? I want the button to toggle between the frame 1 and 3 of the button.

[Flashcoders] loadMovie question

2005-12-11 Thread Simon Lord
I have a movieClip on stage and a movieClip in the library that has an identifier. The idea is to get the movieClip (which is exported for runtime) to load into the movieClip which is on stage. It serves as a placeholder until an image is called for elsewhere. For whatever reason I just

Re: [Flashcoders] loadMovie question

Thanks, finally got it working. Just to expand on that, loadMovie loads an external SWF or JPG (and more in Flash 8) into a MovieClip. attachMovie loads a named MovieClip from your flash library into a MovieClip. On Dec 11, 2005, at 11:08 PM, Flash guru wrote: try attachMovie(),

I have a font based solution that is easy to use. The idea is to use the kerning in fonts to simulate layering of letters, however, in my font there are no letters, just smilie *parts*. You can see the breakdown here as well as test it out: http://www.karbonized.com/smilies/ ... download

Oh BTW, this font smilie solution is immune to Flash versioning (5,6,7,8,8.5), it should work in any other app that can display fonts. Also, the sample swf in the link is a little buggy but the Archive.zip contains the latest source. On Nov 20, 2005, at 1:46 PM, Simon Lord wrote: I have

[Flashcoders] Flash 8.5 on OSX

Just updated to OSX 10.4.3 and nothing published to Flash 8.5 appears in the browser (yes, I installed the 8.5 plugin). Can't revert the OS install and so can't determine if it's the upgrade that prevents the plugin from displaying 8.5 content. Everything published for 8 works fine,
