    - Probs with setInterval and programmatic animationHi all
      
      Further to a recent post about using setInterval to create animation on a
      dynamically created menu item mc; I'm now trying to refine this process but
      once again not having much luck! The Flash front end is pulling in the menu
      data from an XML file, duplicating a menu item movie clip that has a dynamic
      text field in it and then populating that text field with the data from the XML
      file. This was all fine and dandy and working with no issues until I tried to
      add some interaction motion to the menu item mc.
      
      Initially I added a tween within the menu item mc that shifted the text field,
      (inside another mc), to the right and changed it's colour. The control of this
      happened in the rollOver statement back in the code. That was fine until the
      animation of the menu item embedded mc reached a keyframe - at that point any
      data that had been pulled into the text field vanished! So, my first question
      is, is there any easy fix to that?
      
      So, I figured I'd go about creating the animation programmtically. kglad
      helped me out last night with setInterval, but I'm having two problems now. I'm
      using an if statement inside the setInterval function to try and clear the
      interval when it reaches a certain point - i.e. when I've slid the menu item 50
      pixel to the right. Seems to be working - however getting it to reverse back
      into position on rollOut is proving tricky AND it only moves the same menu item
      - regardless of which item you rollOver ... which is odd. I guess I'm not being
      specific enough in telling it which item to move, but I can't figure that out.
      So, my two questions here are 1). Why is reversing the animation not working
      correctly on rollOut and 2). How can I let the rollOver code know exactly which
      menu item to control?
      
      Here's the code in full:
      
      var item_spacing = 45;
      var item_count = 0;
      
      function generateLargeNav(mainMenu_xml){
      var numberOfContactees = mainMenu_xml.firstChild.childNodes;
      for (var i = 0; i < numberOfContactees.length; i++){
      var currentContact = numberOfContactees[i];
      
      var species = items[i].firstChild; // same as items[i].childNodes[0]
      var location = items[i].childNodes[1]; // second child node
      
      var item_mc =
      mcPlaceHolder.attachMovie("mcLargeMenuItem","item"+item_count, item_count);
      item_mc._y = item_count * item_spacing;
      item_count++;
      
      var clickableEmail = currentContact.attritubes.email;
      item_mc.mcLargeMenuItemEmbedSingle.mcMenuItemBottomLevel.itemText.text =
      currentContact.attributes.itemText;
      
      item_mc.onRollOver = currentThumb_mc.onDragOver = function(){
      moveItem = function () {
      if (item_mc._x < 50){
      item_mc._x += 10;
      } else if (item_mc._x == 50){
      clearInterval(moveItem);
      }
      }
      itemMoverID = setInterval(moveItem, 20);
      }
      item_mc.onRollOut = currentThumb_mc.onDragOut = function(){
      moveItem = function () {
      if (item_mc._x > 0){
      item_mc._x -= 10;
      } else if (item_mc._x == 0){
      clearInterval(moveItem);
      }
      }
      itemMoverID = setInterval(moveItem, 20);
      }
      
      item_mc.onRelease = function(){
      somethiung();
      
      }
      }
      }
      
      var mainMenu_xml = new XML();
      mainMenu_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
      mainMenu_xml.onLoad = function(success){
      if (success) generateLargeNav(this);
      else description_txt.text = "Hmm, for some strange reason I couldn't find the
      XML file you're looking for, sorry.";
      }
      
      mainMenu_xml.load("mainmenu_data.xml");

    - Focus problem for rollovers on textinputs...help plssHi,
      
      I am having a strange problem with focus.i am using tool tips and textinputs.
      I have rollovers(movie clip) on the text input boxes(some with no
      rollovers).When i run the .fla file for the first time, i am not able to click
      on the textinput, but i can see the rollover text with it. When i click a
      textinput box(with no rollovers) and come back and click this textinput with
      rollovers, I am able to change and edit everything. So it happens everytime
      when i go out of these textinputs(with rollovers) and click radiobuttons and
      come back again first time problem(not able to change textinput field). can
      someboedy help me in solving this problem.
      I want the textinput boxes to be active and whenever clicked on them,i should
      be able to change/delete the data anytime in the textinput.here is the code.

    - AS3.0: How to extend a class that extends MovieClipWhen I try to set the base class of a library symbol to a class that doesn't
      DIRECTLY extend MovieClip, but instead extends another class that DOES extend
      MovieClip, it's disallowed, saying, "The class 'Whatever' must subclass
      'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked..."
      
      Is this just a validation bug in the property windows, only checking one class
      deep into the inheritance hierarchy? Because the specified class does extend
      MovieClip, just two levels in instead of one. Is there a fix for this? Or must
      library symbols always directly extend MovieClip? If so, why?

    - XML based slideshow, how do I fade?ok so I am just getting into actionscript, and I am trying to make a website
      for a photography site. This is a contract job, so I want the client to have to
      ability to just drag and drop new images into the images folder, and then the
      XML file reads that folder and just pulls images from it, so that he won't have
      to use flash everytime he wants to update it. So far I have made it so it pulls
      a new image up every 4 seconds. But here is the problem, I want to images to
      fade from one to another. I know I can use this code: whatever.alphaTo(100, 3,
      "easeInOutSine");
      I have attached my code. The effect that I am going for is this: I want the
      image to take 2 seconds to fade up, then hold for 3 seconds, and then take 2
      seconds to fade out, but then the next image needs to start fading in after 1
      second of fade out of the first image, so there is a nice smooth transition. I
      am guessing I need two setIntervals, one for the fades, and one for the hold,
      but I am kinda new to this so maybe some of the more experienced people can
      help me with this. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    - scroll pan component problemIt looks like if you override the code in the doLayout() function of the
      ScrollPane (the actual function doLayout is in the ScrollView class) to do
      the same code it would normally do, just put the vScrollbar on the left
      (vsb.move(lo,to)). That might work, it is just a guess.

    - Problem Creating New ClassHello,
      
      I seem to be having a problem creating a new class whether it is extending an
      existing class or simply new altoghther. I am on a computer and network that
      is new to me and i have done projects involving classes sucessfully before.
      The error message i receive is (error msg example is from help file class):
      
      **Error** [.as file path] : Line 1: The name if this class, 'Plant'. conflicts
      with the name of another class that was loaded, 'Plant'.
      class Plant {
      
      Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
      
      This msg appeared after a movieClip was linked to the script and the preview
      option used. Could this be from some setting or preference that i have never
      seen? Flash version is 7.2 Professional and have tried renaming the whole
      linkage chain with the same script, producing the same error, whether the
      script is from scratch or copied from the help files.
      
      Any help will be greatly appreciated.
      
      Thanks

    - Size of movie in pixelsI have a flash movie that should do certain actions depending on what size it

      returns the default size as it was set in Flash, no matter how the sizing in
      HTML change it.

    - Menu at the bottom of this siteI know how to pull of the rotating photogallery, but what baffles me is the
      nave menu at the bottom. Go ahead play with it. When you rollover one of the
      three only a corner raises. By the looks of it, I would say that it is
      actionscript. But i have never come across script that deal with angles. Then
      when you click on one it is something special. I have used the tween classes
      but never like this. There is some easing too. This is driving me nuts.
      Someone please tell me how it's done.

    - Window pop-upHi. I want to create a pop-up showing a movieclip called "mcTest" whenever a
      button instance named "btButton" is released. How can i do that using a window

      import mx.containers.Window;
      import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

      }
      
      I have already set the mcTest to be exported for actioscript with the linkage
      identifier "mcTest". Could anyone help me please?

    - Help with Key ListenersFirst I'd like to say thank you to anyone that can help me out with this.
      
      I've set up a key listner and it works fine with the space bar but I want to
      use the number keys to control it instead. Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 to be exact
      and I was wondering how I would need to change my code to have it listen for
      those numbers.
      
      Here is my code so far:
      
      this.onEnterFrame=function()
      {
      if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))
      {
      One_Buzzed_In._visible = true;
      buzzed = new Sound(this);

    - Loading Sprite Using Loader Need Access to Sprite TypeHello,
      
      I'm loading a Sprite via a Loader and once loaded I have access to that Sprite
      via the Loader class. I can manipulate the Sprites alpha, x and y coordinates
      ect. However, I have a custom function that fades in or out the passed param
      and it expects a Sprite. When I pass the loaded Sprite (loaded via the Loader
      class) I get an error:
      
      1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Loader to an
      unrelated type flash.display:Sprite.
      
      I know that the problem is that it expects a Sprite, but how do I access the
      Sprite type once the swf is loaded via the Loader?
      
      My Code:
      import FadeClip;
      
      var ldrMovieCntr:Loader = new Loader();
      addChild(ldrMovieCntr);
      
      var fcLoadedMovie:FadeClip = new FadeClip(); //CUSTOM CLASS
      fcLoadedMovie.setClipToFade(ldrMovieCntr); //PASSING IN A TYPE Loader - CLASS
      EXPECTS A Sprite

    - mc buttons - functionsHi there
      
      I have a bit of a sticky one I think - but hopefully you will be able to see
      something in my code that I am missing...
      
      I have a menu that I am using with movie clips as buttons, and all of the
      functions in one frame on the first frame of the movie.
      
      Each "button" is not a button at all, but a movie clip, with the correct
      instance name, as seen in the code below (eg craftBUTTON) and they are all set
      at alpha 80%
      
      It is currently loaded as is here :
      
      http://www.fili.com.au/buttons-play.htm
      
      You will see straight away what the problem is - most of the buttons seem to
      work ok, but then the second one keeps decreasing in alpha each time it is
      rolloed over, and does not increase when the mouse rolls out.
      
      Also, the third button increases in alpha and stays at 100%
      
      The code on the first frame is attached (I hope!)
      
      The next trouble I am having comes when I want to do an onRelease function,
      and the timeline does not seem to want to stop at the stop action I have on
      that frame - but we'll worry about that when I get this first bit fixed up!
      
      I am hoping that it is just something I am missing in the code, or maybe there
      is conflict and I need to separate the functions out..?
      
      Thankyou!

Hi. I want to create a pop-up showing a movieclip called "mcTest" whenever a
button instance named "btButton" is released. How can i do that using a window
component? I tried this code, but it doesn't work

import mx.containers.Window;
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

btButton.onRelease = function():Void{
var cwMessage:MovieClip = PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
mx.containers.Window, true, {contentPath: "mcTest", closeButton: true});
}

I have already set the mcTest to be exported for actioscript with the linkage
identifier "mcTest". Could anyone help me please?

Thank you all!

Re: Window pop-up

    - bringing a movie to the top????Hi
      
      This problem could be solved by assigning proper depth to each MC. Here is
      explaining the same withh few steps:
      
      1. Assuming u have 10 MC. Now attach those to the stage using attachMovie()
      2. Assign unique depth tto each MC ( say 1,2,3 ....,11)
      3. Now when u click on a Particular Instance to drag then set its depth using
      swapDepth(15) // 15 or the heighest depth than the given to other MC)
      4. Once it stops dragging then set its swapDepth back to the orignal. But
      first u need to store its inital depth using getDepth() in to a variable.
      
      I hope this would help u !!

    - transitions within one swf?this is something I've been trying to research for a while now and on various
      forums, no one has ever been able to answer me. I can only assume that this is

    - Setting scroll pane contentI need to set the content of a scroll pane to a movie clip that I build dynamically from a list of thumbnail images. I was doing this in Flash MX with the setScrollContent method. From what I can see in Flash 2004, you can only set the scroll content to a file or a movie clip from the library. Neither of these options will work for me, since I must create the content on the fly. I'm trying to work with the content property but am not having any luck. Does anyone have a suggestion or example?

    - Preloaded pics not fully loadedPROBLEM: I want to load 9 pics and once they are loaded I want the animation to
      start. The animation is a simple swipe off the movie clips containing the pics
      across the stage. While the pics are loading, there is a simple 'Loading...'
      move clip playing. This seems to work ok when I 'view as streaming' in Flash,
      but when I view online the images don't seem to be loaded before the animation
      starts. See at: www.simongroup.biz. Click 'Services'. Under the list of
      services, click 'billboards/signs.' This is even more apparent when viewed at
      56K dial up or lower. FILE CONSTRUCTION: First Frame is the 'Loading...' clip.
      Second Frame is the 'Loading' clip and the adHolder move clips that the images
      load into. The code for this frame includes the pics being loaded into the
      adHolder clips using the loadMovie as well as: onEnterFrame=function(){
      Loaded=adHolder1.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder2.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder3.getBytesL
      oaded()+adHolder4.ol_one.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder5.mk_3d.getBytesLoaded()+adHol
      der6.mk_future.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder7.bi_buildings.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder
      8.getBytesLoaded()+adHolder9.getBytesLoaded();
      Total=adHolder1.getBytesTotal()+adHolder2.getBytesTotal()+adHolder3.getBytesTota
      l()+adHolder4.ol_one.getBytesTotal()+adHolder5.mk_3d.getBytesTotal()+adHolder6.m
      k_future.getBytesTotal()+adHolder7.bi_buildings.getBytesTotal()+adHolder8.getByt
      esTotal()+adHolder9.getBytesTotal(); percent=Math.round((Loaded/Total)*100);
      if(percent>=100){ gotoAndPlay('start'); } } Note: Some of the pics have a
      shadow. The shadow is in the adHolder clip so that it swipes with the pic
      during the animation. That's why some of the pics are loaded into a clip inside
      the adHolder Clip. So anyone know what's going on here?

    - Timer Assistance RequestThere are a lot of posts regarding timers that I have read, but I am still
      having trouble incorporating a timer with a conditional statement.
      
      Three circles appear randomly. For each circle that appears, I want its
      correlating box to appear for five seconds. I want the appearance of the boxes
      to happen in the order they are numbered. (Check to see if circle 1 is
      visible. If it is, display box 1 for 5 sec. Then, if circle 2 is visible,
      display box 2 for 5 sec.)
      
      Any help is appreciated.
      
      //Makes boxes 1-3 invisible.
      box1._visible = false;
      box2._visible = false;
      box3._visible = false;
      
      //Randomly sets visibility of circles 1-3.
      circle01._visible = Boolean(Math.round(Math.random()));
      circle02._visible = Boolean(Math.round(Math.random()));
      circle03._visible = Boolean(Math.round(Math.random()));
      
      //Uses a circle's visibility to make the corresponding box visible.
      if(circle01._visible == true){
      box1._visible = true;
      }else{box1._visible = false}
      
      if(circle02._visible == true){
      box2._visible = true;
      }else{box2._visible = false}
      
      if(circle03._visible == true){
      box3._visible = true;
      }else{box3._visible = false}
      
      //Stops movie.

    - Drag and RotateHi all,
      
      i'm working on a projekt, which is a card game and i need to implement some
      kind of rotation function.
      Actually i can drag, pick up and drop the cards.
      
      Now i want the cards to rotate depending on the movement of the users mouse
      when he drags a card.
      I tried to do it on my own but i can't figure it out.
      
      As an example of what i mean check this link please:
      http://www.thibaud.be/
      
      I don't need a complete solution but an advice or a link to a tutorial that
      deals with this kind of problem would be very nice.
      
      Thank you very much.

    - Formmail.cgi & actionscript 2.0 questionWhat's up everyone! I'm having a terrible time trying to find out why Formmail
      is not receiving the "recipient" variable from flash properly. I never had a
      problem until now. Just recently, i noticed i was not getting emails from
      through my website, and then i did a mock email to myself- through my website
      and noticed an "Error: No recipent" notification! I have never changed my code,
      and i went and verified that my code is the same and i'm puzzled at this
      problem. Anyway, here's the code:
      //---------------------<send form LoadVars>------------------\\
      var gatherForm:LoadVars = new LoadVars () ;
      
      function sendForm() {
      gatherForm.recipient = "email***@***.com";
      gatherForm.visitor_comments = contactForm.userComments.text;
      gatherForm.visitor_name = contactForm.userName.text;
      gatherForm.visitor_email = contactForm.userEmail.text;
      gatherForm.visitor_primaryphone = contactForm.userPhone.text;
      
      gatherForm.send ("/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi", "POST");
      //---------------------------------</send form
      LoadVars>----------------------------\\
      
      As a note: in flash, the text input field that holds my email address, already
      has the instance name of "recipient." That was something I already double
      checked. I keep getting the Error: No Recipient for some reason! Finally, i
      called my web host provider andthey did a test on the formmail.cgi script and
      it's working fine (the link to the html test of the formmail.cgi script-
      www.iibyandre.com/testform.htm).
      
      Thanks for any help guys.

    - mc hierarchy rearrangementcan i alter hierarchial links of mc's?
      say i have an mc named "pea" attachMovie'd to mc "can". "can" in turn, attachMovied to "table", which is on _root. Can i get that "pea" into mc "fork" on _root (i need that pea be moving together with fork AND be above all other peas and cans in depth stack).
      
      i did try _root.table.can.pea._parent = _root.fork and it does the assignment, but does not rebuild hierarchy, means i still can't move the pea together with fork. what should i do?
      
      thanks
