Goodmorning,
I've got a question about controlling movies,
assume i have a movie with a lenght of 20 seconds, after 7
seconds, but
before 10 seconds
i want the user to click the screen. How can i synchronize
that ? I thought
about timer,
have looked at the frames, but have got no clue how te set it
up.
Can somebody give me a hint ?

AS 2.0 Control Movie Via Dragable Clip

I was trying to see if I could get a scrubber-like button to
control movie playback.
For instance I want to place button that you can drag along a
bar to move the movie along frame by frame. I think I have seen
this done somewhere but I was wondering if anyone had some info on
doing this. I know how to use the startDrag and stopDrag actions
and how to make sure the buton only drags left to right and back
but I have searched the forums, google and the help file and what I
am finding is not really what I need.
Any help appreciated I will keep looking and trying stuff in
the meantime.

How to control movie clips using mause scroller...?

...how to control movie clips using mause scroller...?

Hi Ldavinci, I have noticed your posts on that particular
site before. Just chiming in here... don't be afraid of Flash Help
menu. There's a wealth of information there and I've found it much
faster than waiting for a response from the forum. Then if it still
doesn't make sense, at least you have a basic idea of specifics to
ask.
If you search for mouse wheel, you'll see an example under
the Actionscript 2.0 Language Reference on this topic. That said,
here's the example:

Where does the control moves at first at END-OF PAGE or END-OF-SELECTION

Is END-OF PAGE triggered like TOP-OF-PAGE from the AT-SELECTON-SCREEN automatically with a write statement & where does the control moves at first
at END-OF PAGE or END-OF-SELECTION?

Hi,
1. End-of-selection:
This event is triggered after the start-of-selection. to display the contents on the report.
2.Top-of-page: Every time a new page is triggered. Mainly this is used for header of the report.
3. End-of-page : every time the list data reaches the footer region of the page.
This way first data is disaplyed then it reaches the footer..
first End-of-selection then End-of-page
These example may help u in detail...
Leaving Event Blocks Using STOP
If you use the STOP statement within an event block, the system stops processing the block immediately. The ABAP runtime environment triggers the next event according to the following diagram:
Before and during selection screen processing, the next event in the prescribed sequence is always called. From the AT SELECTION-SCREEN event onwards, the system always jumps from a STOP statement directly to the END-OF-SELECTION statement. Once the corresponding event block has been processed, the system displays the list.
The following program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT EVENT_TEST.
NODES: SPFLI, SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE 'Test program for STOP'.
GET SBOOK.
WRITE: 'Bookid', SBOOK-BOOKID.
STOP.
END-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'End of Selection'.
This produces the following output:
Test Program for STOP
Bookid 00010001
End of Selection
As soon as the first line of SBOOK has been read, the system calls the END-OF-SELECTION event block.
Exiting Event Blocks Using EXIT
If you use the EXIT statement within an event block but not in a loop, the system stops processing the block immediately. The ABAP runtime environment triggers the next event according to the following diagram:
Before and during selection screen processing, the next event in the prescribed sequence is always called. From the START-OF-SELECTION event onwards, the system starts the list processor directly when the EXITstatement occurs, and displays the list.
If the EXIT statement occurs inside a DO, WHILE, or LOOP loop, it is the loop that terminates, not the processing block.
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT demo_program_exit_1.
NODES: spfli, sflight, sbook.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE 'Test Program for EXIT'.
GET sbook.
WRITE: 'Bookid', sbook-bookid.
EXIT.
END-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'End of selection'.
This produces the following output:
Test Program for EXIT
Bookid 00010001
After the first line of SBOOK has been read, the list is displayed immediately.
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S.
REPORT demo_program_exit_2.
NODES: spfli, sflight, sbook.
DATA flag(1) TYPE c.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
IF carrid-low IS INITIAL.
flag = 'X'.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
START-OF-SELECTION.
IF flag = 'X'.
WRITE / 'No input for CARRID'.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
GET spfli.
GET sflight.
GET sbook.
END-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE / 'End of Selection'.
If the user does not enter a value for CARRID-LOW, the output appears as follows:
No selection made for CARRID
After the first EXIT statement, the next START-OF-SELECTION event is triggered. After the second EXITstatement, the output list is displayed.
Regards.

Can you control movement of regions without the mouse

can you control movement of regions without the mouse? I have trouble nudging the regions with the mouse and was hoping there was a keyboard solution.

there is not.
perhaps it would help to turn off the Snap To Grid menuItem?

Controlling Movie Slides

I have a series of medical images (CT slices) that I show as Quicktime movies. It's easy to drag a movie onto a blank Keynote slide as part of a presentation, but the effect is suboptimal if I cannot a) control the "playback" of the movie (have controls on the screen that allow me to stop, reverse, pause, etc.), or at least b) control the speed of the movie. Yet I don't see any way to do either of these things. I can do it when I'm preparing the Keynote address, but not when I'm playing the Keynote address. Is this simply not possible?

From the Keynote Help:
When a movie plays during a presentation, movie controls appear when you move the pointer over the movie if "Show playback controls when pointer is over a movie" is selected in the Slideshow pane of Keynote preferences. The controls available depend on the size (dimensions) of the movie; the smaller the movie, the fewer controls visible.
You can also use the keyboard to control movie playback:
To pause or resume playback, press K. (also fast forwards if already playing)
To rewind when playback is paused, press J.(also fast rewinds if already playing)
To go forward when playback is paused, press L.
To jump to the beginning of the movie, press I.
To jump to the end of the movie, press O.

Simple Button to Control Movie Clip

Hello,
I was relatively comfortable with AS 2.0, but am having a
hard time warming up to 3.0. I feel that this should be something
simple to find help online with, yet I'm finding it difficult to
get a simple answer.
I have a button that is inside a movie clip within another
movie clip:
mainMenu_mc > whoBtn_mc > whoButton
This button appears to work fine controlling a movie clip on
the same timeline. This is the code so far (on an Actions frame in
WhoBtn_mc):
whoButton.addEventListener(
MouseEvent.CLICK,
function(evt:MouseEvent):void {
whoGlow.gotoAndStop("click");
I have another movie clip on the main timeline that I would
like to control with this button:
blackFadeBottom_mc
What would the code look like for this?
Any help is appreciated - Thank you.

Thanks, I was able to place the code on the main timeline and
get a trace when I clicked on the movie clip instance itself. I
probably didn't explain what I was trying to do very well, so I
apologize.
What I need to do is to control this movie clip that is
physically placed on the main timeline (fadeBlackBottom) with the
button that is buried under two other movie clips
(mainMenu_mc>whoBtn_mc>whoBtn).
I would like the whoBtn to tell the fadeBlackBottom movie
clip to (what used to be)
_root.fadeBlackBottom.gotoAndPlay("play"); This will drop down a
box that will contain the content of my 'Who' link.
How can I accomplish this?
Thanks again,
Chuck

Items in Tree control move around when data is submitted using custom ItemRenderer

I'm working on a Tree control with an XMLListCollection as
its dataProvider.
The dataProvider has information looking like this :
quote:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<INFO>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_NAME"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_EMAIL"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
<FIELD label="STR_OPTIONAL"
type="branch"
value="0"
>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_ADDRESS"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
<FIELD label="STR_USER_POSTAL_CODE"
type="text"
value=""
>
</FIELD>
</FIELD>
</INFO>
So in the Tree control I'd like the information to show up
with a label and
an
editable textbox for each item :
[Label] [textbox]
To do this I made a tree like this :
quote:
<mx:Tree id="userTree"
editable="true"
rendererIsEditor="true"
editorDataField="curVal"
itemRenderer="{new ClassFactory(ItemRendererUser)}"
itemEditEnd="e_ProcessData(event);"
dataDescriptor="{new DataDescriptorUsers()}"
showRoot="false"
verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.AUTO}"
/>
where the e_ProcessData() function looks like this (I used
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=c
elleditor_073_16.html#202105 as a guide) :
quote:
public function e_ProcessData(event:ListEvent):void
event.preventDefault();
userTree.editedItemRenderer.data.@value =
ItemRendererUsers(event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance).curVal;
userTree.destroyItemEditor();
userTree.dataProvider.notifyItemUpdate(userTree.editedItemRenderer);
} // END OF e_ProcessData()
I attached the rest of the files because they're a little
bit longer.
When I run the program, the data shows up fine when it is
initialized the
very
first time, and I made a test button that just dumps the
contents of the
dataProvider in a trace statement to verify that the data has
been set
properly.
The problem I've run into is whenever the textfield is
edited, the item
that
I've selected jumps around the list.
For example, if I edit the item "STR_USER_NAME" after I
finish the edit, it
will move from the very first position in the Tree to the
bottom of the
Tree.
I traced the contents of the dataProvider and the
dataProvider structure
stays
the same, with the "STR_USER_NAME" at the top, but if I look
at the flex app
in
the web browser, its position is at the bottom of the Tree.
This happens for every other item I try to edit... I read in
the
documentation
that the ItemRenderers are recycled, so it means I should be
checking to
make
sure the initial states are covered, but I'm not sure how
this affects my
application.
Can anyone help me out with this ? Its very confusing - I've
tried making
an
ItemRenderer using pure actionscript, mxml and the
combination you see in
this
example and I always end up with the same behaviour - So I
must be missing
something critical...
// ItemRendererUsers.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
verticalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
horizontalScrollPolicy="{ScrollPolicy.OFF}"
creationComplete="initItemRendererUsers();"
>
From my FAQ:
Q: I've created a custom itemRenderer component to use in a
List
based component (Datagrid, TileList, HorizontalList, etc.).
When my List
first displays, everything looks fine, but when I scroll it
or change the
dataProvider, some of the itemRenderers show values or
formatting that
aren't right. How do I fix this?
A: List-based components don't draw a renderer for every item
in the
dataProvider. Instead, they create enough to display what is
on screen now,
plus one or two more waiting in the wings. This means they
recycle the
renderers rather than creating new ones when you change
dataProvider or
scroll up and down. When you use a creationComplete event to
set up the
itemRenderer, that event doesn't happen again when the
renderer is used for
a different set of data. The solution to this is to override
the set data
protected function that most components have.

Your set data needs to set a flag that gets picked up in
commitProperties()
and does your thing that you were doing before in
creationComplete. You
should see examples of this in the links I posted. Instead of
this:
_data.@value = inputText.text;
you should look at implementing IDropInListItemRenderer,
which will allow
you to dynamically determine which field to look at, instead
of hardcoding
it. You also might wind up overwriting the stored value with
a null value
when the List passes the stored value in. I'd encourage you
to really go
through those links I posted and make sure you understand
what they're
saying. The itemRenderer life cycle is one of the hardest
things to
understand, but once you understand it, it makes many things
in Flex much
easier. It's worth investing the time.

During MI07 Post Differnce, can we control Movement Type authorisation?

Dear all
During the MI07 to post difference during physical inventory, users are asked to choose the Movement Type with Reason Code:
(a) If it is a gain, use the reason code for movement type u2018701u2019.
(b) If it is a loss, use the reason code for the movement type u2018702u2019.
However, in the MVT reason code list, there are many many MVT Reason Codes available for users to choose.
I have checked in PFCF for Tcode: Mi07, there is no authorisation to control MVT.
How do we do that?
Please advise as I do not want user to choose from the wrong MVT.
Thanks for everyone in SDN!!
Edited by: Daimos on Jul 22, 2009 3:42 AM

Hello,
Are you saying that you were able to restrict the pop up for reason codes to show only 701, 702 even thought you had other reason codes maintained for 101 etc ?
If yes, can you please tell me how you achieved that. Im in a similar situation.
Thanks

Controling movie to stop 10 sec -and then run again

Hey
I'm making a flv incl. a movie. I would like the movie to
stop now and then (to put some animations on top of it) and then
run after lets say 10 sec - this has to be timer controled. How do
i script this in actionscript 2.0? and will I be able to use it
again in the same flv?
Thank you very much !
br/jean

Hello!
Your best bet might be to try an interval that will unpause
your movie after ten seconds or so. Just have it set the duration
of the inteval as a parameter if you have difrent length of your
pauses. If you need to determine when to pause the move you can use
a listener to the time property of your NetStream object. Anyway,
here is a simple way to pause:

Detecting Rotation Amount to Control Movie Clips

I created a movie clip consisting of a bar and a knob. When you click and drag the knob, the bar rotates through 360 degrees. I want to be able to detect the degree of rotation and use that metric to control other movie clips. The code to make the drag/rotate object work is...
handle.knob.onPress = function(){
handle.onMouseMove = function(){
var angle = Math.atan2(this._parent._ymouse-this._y,this._parent._xmouse-this._x);
this._rotation = angle*180/Math.PI;
this.knob._rotation = -this._rotation;
trace(angle);
trace(angle*180/Math.PI);
handle.onMouseUp = function(){
if (this.onMouseMove) delete this.onMouseMove;
I can trace the angle in radians and degrees but I don't know how to extract either value as a variable that can be used in a function to control a separate movie clip.

assign a variable to have the value of the _rotation or angle in your onMouseMove function. and use that variable's value wherever you like.

Controlling movement type 311

We are on R/3 4.7 and are looking for a way to control a useru2019s ability to transfer materials using movement type 311. Is it possible to restrict access to transferring materials using movement type 311 with either material groups or material types? We have tried a number of possibilities using configuration and roles but have not had any success.
Thanks,
JRW

Hello John,
Please maintain following customization settings to avoid goods issue for movement type 311
SPRO>>Materials management>>Inventory Management and Physical Inventory>>Movement Types>>Copy, Change Movement Types Execute
Now select Movement type.
Enter movement type 311
In left hand side tree structure Go to allowed transcation folder and double click
Delete all the transaction code by which you want to avoid goods issue
Hope this helps

Help with assignment- buttons that control movie clips

I am pretty new to flash and my professor gave us an assignment with little help or tutorials.
He wants us to create a SWF that features a house and it's front yard and two buttons.
One button that says Sunrise, and one that says Sunset.
When I push the sunrise button, the sun needs to rise above the house and stay there. When I push the Sunset button, it needs to set- and then a ufo needs to land on the lawn.
So i think I have a pretty good grasp on the assignment, but the actionscript is throwing me off. How can I make buttons that will control the sun movie clip to rise- stay above the house, and then set? The ufo is a whole new matter. The sunset button should make the sun lower and then a ufo land on the lawn.
Please help explain/link me to the proper tutorials. One thing that i'm worried about is that the sun will rise- and then stay above the house even if i click the sunset button.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Well i can think of a few ways to do this.
Depending on what you have been taught so far you should be able to do this if you know how to make a button, a movie clip, and the basic script for the timeline. ie. play,stop, gotoandplay etc.
I understand you have been set a task and you want the answer straight away. But i doubt he would have given you anything you couldn't handle. Also I learnt more from trial and error and searching the net than from most of my teachers at coll and uni, It's frustrating i know, but the buzz you get when you finally crack it is amazing. Stick in there!
That being said i remember the panic I suffered and like to help so here's a thought:
You could just have the 2 buttons play a basic movie clip. The sky could rotate one way to make the sun rise and add a "stop" in the actions to make it stay there, and to the left to sunset with both images together but not being shown all the time by using a mask. You could even add in the ufo to the clip but this would only work if you added an extra part to the movie so that when the ufo has landed it flys out again and then begins to rotate the sun and moon again. ( buttons would be dissabled during the play modes to avoid chaos) This is just a quick thought. I'm sure there are several ways of doing this depending on how fancy it needs to be.
If your teacher really has given you no notes on buttons,movieclips and actionscript i would sujest Adobe TV. Nice videos that explain step by step. OR try downloading a tutorial file with buttons and movie clips and look at the coding they use in the file. Thats how i have learnt most of it since finishing Uni.
Good Luck

Controlling Movie Clip with as3

I try to controll my mc. I want put one MovieClip to other.
i use next code:
box_mc.addChild(pic_mc);
but its not working.
box_mc this is the a box movie clip, in this mc i want put my pic_mc.

In addition to what dmennenoh said,
DisplayObject's x and y properties are preserved no matter parent. In your case, it seems, original position of pic_mc is not 0/0. So when you place it inside the box - x and y are the same but now they are RELATIVE TO BOX. So, on screen it looks like it is outside the box but it is inside except that box's x and y are added.
For instnace, if the original coordinates are pic_mc.x = 200, pic_mc.y = 100 and box_mc.x = 50, box_mc.y = 20, when you add pic_mc as a child, it will have the came x and y but relative to box_mc (not its original container) and on the screen it will look like it is on x = 250 (box_mc.x + pic_mc.x) and y = 120 (pic_mc.y + box_mc.y).
box_mc's dimensions also change IF pic_mc x and y plus its width and height are outside of original box_mc boundaries. After you add child box_mc.width will be pic_mc.x + pic_mc.width and box_mc.height will be pic_mc.y + pic_mc.height.
I suspect that because there is a border in the box, you expected objects to placed within the border. Border in the box IS NOT the box but ANOTHER object (child) inside the box. In other words, box is a container. After pic_mc is added - it will contain both border and pic_mc - not border containing pic_mc. You see the difference?
