Re: [Flashcoders] MC position at any given time
thanks for the help guys, I'll certainly look into Fuse and learn a bit more
about those undocumented events that Tween dispatches. Any suggestion as to
where I can find documentation on that, or is that a bit sarcastic of me?
kind regards,

I don't know if you have played with Fuse but it can do exactly what you
want using the built in events. The mx tweens may be able to do the
same thing, but I don't know.
If you are going to use fuse look at the event onUpdateTween.

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
Hi, The action on the m2 movieclip does not work, it will not launch a URL. I've posted a sample fla file here: http://www.citogrid.com/v3/images/fla/whynot.fla all actionscript is in the first frame of the main timeline. Remember, I ONLY want the URL to be launched when clicked on the red box. Sequence should be: launch the swf, mouse over the blue box, see the red box, click the red box and a URL should launch. So the m2 movieclip should trigger the getURL, not the m1 movieclip. I agree with you, it should be simple, and I can do it, but I'd like to do it using only movieclips and no buttons.

RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
Hi,
the code for the m2 is on the first frame of the main timeline.
I'd like all code to be on the first frame of the main timeline.
also, to avoid confusion: there are not button instances, only movieclips,
as you can see in the fla file. There are no code errors (according to
flash)
I'm sure what your code does is fine, but it does not achieve the set
goal... when I click on the movieclip m2, I'd like a URL to be launched.
does anyone know how to do this?

All my code does is terminate the interception of the button event by the

As was asked before, where is the code for the second button? Is it on

by the time the button event handler function is created?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
if thats the case you should have a movieClip that contains your buttons
in the library. Set its linkage then attach it under your m1 movieClip...
_
|| m1 - main button
menu_mc - library linkage
_
|| button1_mc // these are all instance named in the menu_mc clip
in the library
|| button2_mc
|| button3_mc
m1.onRollOver = function():Void{
var subMenu:MovieClip = attachMovie(menu_mc, menu_mc, 100); //
grab the menu from library
subMenu._x = this._x+this._height; // set the menu._x to the m1's x
location plus its height
subMenu._y = this._y; // set the menu._y to the m1's y location
}
maybe something along those lines?
Yes, something like that, but i wanted:
a) only use movieclips
b) all actionscript in main timeline in frame 1
I can and have done it plenty of times using movieclip and regular buttons,
no problem. Wanted to try something new, guess it was a bad idea :-)

what are you trying to achieve with this anyhow? a drop down menu type
of system or what?
thanks for the help. If you say it can never work, then I assume it can
never work... I'll do a little rethinking as you suggest and use the
oldstyle buttons where needed.

ben, you cannot have a button inside another button...
That is why your code wont work.
paste this over your current code
m1.onRollOver = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (20);
};
m1.onRollOut = function ():Void
{
this.gotoAndStop (1);
};
m1.m2.onPress = function ():Void
{
trace(HI)
getURL (http://www.cnn.com;, _blank);
};
as you will see the trace(HI) will never fire because the m1 button
movieClips hit area will expand to the total size of the movieClip.
rethink your setup, this will never work despite all the help in the world
have you tried that Byron, and does that work for you? I've tried it
here,
and makes no difference at all...

[Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
My mind is melting :-) Flash: create a new movie create a blue square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m1, create a red square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m2, drag a copy of m1 to the stage and give it instance name m1 open m1 and add some frames to the timeline (50 or so, does not matter) stop action on frame 1 stop action on frame 20 at frame 20, drag a copy of movieclip m2 on the stage, name it m2, place it just below the blue square I want the following to happen: when a user rolls over the movieclip in the main timeline (m1), I want the m1 timeline to advance to frame 20. You should then see a blue square and a red square. When a user clicks on the RED square (m2), I want them to go to a website (http://www.website.com) I keep getting these messages the script contains no errors when I validate the actionscript, and still nothing works. any help would be welcome, i'm sure it's a rookie mistake Ben ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] movieclip actions not working
that's not it, does not work.
on what timeline are you putting your actions? I've tried on the main
timeline and on the m1 timeline (which is what I think you mean) but
both don't work.
here's my description again:
create a new movie
create a blue square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m1,
create a red square and make that a movieclip symbol , name it m2,
drag a copy of m1 to the stage and give it instance name m1
open m1 and add some frames to the timeline (50 or so, does not matter)
stop action on frame 1
stop action on frame 20
at frame 20 (of the m1 timeline), drag a copy of movieclip m2 on the
stage, name it m2,
place it just below the blue square
I want the following to happen:
when a user rolls over the movieclip in the main timeline (m1), I want
the m1 timeline to advance to frame 20. You should then see a blue
square and a red square.
When a user clicks on the RED square (m2), I want them to go to a
website (http://www.website.com)
anyone?
thx,
Ben

[Flashcoders] avi open in media player
Hi,
Simple question:
I have a movieclip that, when clicked on should have a avi file open in the
users media player. The avi is located in the same folder.
when I use this code (standard getURL):
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
getURL (blabla.avi, _blank);
}
it attempts to open a new browser window with the avi in it, which is not
what I want, I'd like the avi to open with the users avi-player (windows
media player,...)
How should I go about this?
Thx,
Ben

[Flashcoders] anchors in dynamic textfield?
Hi, Bit of a problem: I have a dynamic textfield which loads about 10 pages of text externally. Textfield is formatted as html text. In the 10 pages, there are a few dozen titles, definitions of words ... These titles are all formatted in bold type btitle1/b. Is there a way in actionscript to have the text jump up or down with a button from title to title? Meaning: titles are always one word, the explanation might sometimes be a few paragraphs, I'd like the user to be able to click on something like a next button that would then scroll the text field down to the next title. In Dreamweaver, I would do this with anchor tags, but I don't know how to do this in actionscripting Might be simple, might be impossible, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
