Flash and Me

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Ok, Spriggan, I think I've figured out my problem from last night. The reason it just kept looping for me is because my actual movie doesn't start until frame 1, and that loader wanted to start on frame 3. So what I'm thinking is, if I moved my main movie to frame 3, would that make it work. You think?

[Spriggan]

well it all depends on the code:

Code: [Select]

if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
     this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
The above code requires the the movie starts on frame 3 of the same scene.
if you chage it to:

Code: [Select]

if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
     nextScene();
}

the above code would require you to have the movie and the loader in seperate scenes, but flash would start frame 1 of the second scenes.

Hey Spriggan, you wouldn't happen to have any font that looks like hand-writing would you? That'd be useful to me.

Sprig, you wouldn't happen to know anything about Adobe Photoshop, would you?

[Spriggan]

That's 42's deparment, he's an Adobe mad man.  I don't have a copy and has been several years since I've used it.

hmmm, then there will be difficulty getting him to pay a bit of attention over here.

[Spriggan]

ask your question here and I'll let him know about it.

Ok, now I have moved on to the quiz template. For the "Hot Object" component I need a little help, hopefully you know what this is. (It is frame 6 in the template) How do I make it so they can only choose one, and if they want to unchoose it and choose another one. (Since, for some reason, the template will let you choose them all but not deselect them.)

Ok Mr. Spriggan. Need a bit of help. I have to take a map and when a city "button" is click it has to draw a line to the school here. I am at a loss for how to do this.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

Better question: How do I make an image with a transparent background? So I can draw the line and then import the line so it's just the line, without a background.

[Spriggan]

psh, you know you want to do it useing flashes drawing functions.  mmmm, lots of action srcipt.  Don't have time to answer right now, getting ready to head home for the weekend.  I'll post later tonight or tomorrow.

Hey Spriggan, how to I make scroll buttons for my flash? I've gotten to the part in the help file where it says to: "In the Actions panel, select the Objects category, then select the Movie category, then select the TextField category, then select the Properties category, then double-click the scroll property to add it to the Script pane."

But I can't figure out: "In the Object parameter field, enter the instance name of the text field you want to scroll.

Irement the scroll property by 1 to scroll the text up. The code should look like this:

instName.scroll += 1;"

[Spriggan]

are you just trying to make a text feild scrollable or something else?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

yes
