Flash Newbie needs help with Movie Clips/Action Scripting

Hi -
I'm having a problem with my movie clips playing
simultaneously and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what I
have done wrong. I'm new to flash, so I may have set something up
incorrectly, but here's what I have so far:
11 layers, total: 1 layer with 10 control buttons, each
button with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(85);
Where the number changes in relation to which keyframe the
next movie is on.
I have 10 movies, total, but they are only movie clips,
essentially photo slide shows with audio, made all in the library.
The problem happens when I click on the second or third
button. Not only does the movie that I have selected begin to play,
but all of the previous clips do as well, so it all sounds quite
garbled. I don't know what I am missing in the action script, as my
Action Layer has a stop command on it at each keyframe where there
is a new clip to play.
I have tried to add a stopAllSounds command, but I'm afraid
that doesn't do anything because it is not a "sound file" per se,
playing in the timeline.
I'm at the end of my rope and really need some help in
figuring this one out. My project is hanging in the balance on
this, as I have scripted everything else correctly and it runs
beautifully.
Please help!
Thanks,
Caroline

Each layer has a blank keyframe before and after each
movieclip. Each movie clip is at a different frame. Even with the
blank keyframes added, the second video starts to play and then the
first video begins to play. Same happens if I click on the third
button. Third plays, and starts 1st and 2nd shortly thereafter. Is
there an action script I can put in that will tell the timeline
that, when a button is clicked, no matter where the movieclip is,
it will stop and start the newly selected movieclip?

(Click and move to next scene). Need help with a simple action, just need a little guidance.

I am building a simple flash movie clip in Flash cs4. All I want to do is run the play head through a one 5 frame scene and stop, and then you press a button that will send the play head to the next 10 frame motion tween scene.
When I run the movie all I get is a movie clip that pauses for a millisecond then loops back around.
I have three different books on flash action script, read all three still not doing so hot. I am using the navigational button concept maybe that is what I am doing wrong. Can someone show me the right method or lead me in the right direction.

You can just place an invisible button on the top layer of
the flash time line and code it to getURL. When you said "hyperlink
to another page", are you referring to an html page or another swf
file? To make an invisible button in Flash, you can hit Ctrl+F8 to
bring up the dialog box to create a new symbol, name your button,
make sure you select the type of button, hit ok, now you are inside
the button and need to create a "hit" area. Click on the "hit"
state and press F7 to create a blank key frame. Using the drawing
tools, select the square, no stroke, and any fill color you want,
draw a square shape, click on the shape and in your Info Panel,
change the size of this shape to match the size of your stage,
lastly, make sure the registration point is (0,0) by using the
Align Panel. Go back to your main time line, add a layer on your
time line and make sure it's at the top, drag your new button from
the library to the stage and align it to (0,0).
There are two ways to code the button, so to make it easier,
click on the button once to select it, hit F9 to bring up the
actions panel and type this
on(release){
getURL("
http://www.someWebsite.com",
"_blank");// you can also use "_self" //
If some of this isn't new to you, disregard parts of it. If
you have any buttons in your Flash application, this will cause
problems because the invisible button will counter-act anything
below it. Let me know if this works for you. Of course, this all
assumes you have access to the flash file.

They do not have to be on the same layer, but they should not
exist on the timeline for the entire movie, just where they are
necessary.
Lets say you have three movieclips ten frames apart on the
timeline. Mc1 (movieclip1) is on frame 1, Mc2 is on frame 11, and
Mc3 is on frame 21. Mc1 should only be on the timeline from frame
1-10, then it should not exist on frame 11. This way if you jump to
frame 11 only Mc2 will play, because Mc1 isn't on the timeline
anymore.
They do not have to be on the same layer.
It may help if you email me the file. My address is on my
name on the lefthand side of this forum post.

Need help with Quizzes & Advanced Actions

Hi, I am relatively new to Captivate (v6) and I am looking for a way to force learners to respond to a question BEFORE navigating to the next page.
On my question slides, I have a submit button and the next page button but no playbar.
I want the submit button to be active to provide feedback to the question with the next page arrow inactive. It would be great to have a message pop-up (similar to the incomplete message) when the learner presses on the inactive next page button. Once the question has been answered and submitted, then I want the next page arrow to be active for the learner to navigate to the next page.
Do I need to create an advanced action for this? Either a standard action or conditional?
Can anyone help me with this? I would be most appreciative!

Normally they do not need the Next button, except during Review (if you'll allow that after the last Quiz attempt).
So my most simple solution is to drag the Next button under the Clear button, it is normally stacked lower so it will be hidden. During Review, the Clear button will not be there and the Next button will become visible.
Have a look at my blog posts about functionality of Question slides:

Flash newbie needs help

i'm quite a newbie when it comes to flash and need some help
http://www.sas.se/sv/?vst=true
you look to the right you'll see an airplane and i'll say "Billiga avgångar" next too it
under the text you can see text in yellow being scrambled then reappear
i was wondering how you make the text scramble then display the messeage like that?

this is a better way to do it in one textfield. it's easily amended to display one letter per textfield and add textfields as needed.
(to speed up the display shorten charS even down to a one character string.)
var charS:String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 01232456789,./<>?;':\"[]{}\|!@#$%^&*()-_=+";
var charA:Array = charS.split("");
var displayTO:Number
// user defined params:
// character change in ms
var speed:Number = 1;
encodeF(yourstring,yourtextfield);
function encodeF(s:String,tf:TextField){
    tf.text = charA[0];
    displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,0,0);
function displayF(s:String,tf:TextField,charNum:Number,index:Number){
    tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1)+charA[index];
    if(s.charAt(charNum)==charA[index]){
        tf.text += charA[index];
        charNum++;
        index=0;
        if(charNum<s.length){
            displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);
        } else {
            tf.text = tf.text.substr(0,-1);
    } else {
        index++;
        if(index<charA.length){
            displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);
        } else {
            charA.push(s.charAt(charNum));
            displayTO = setTimeout(displayF,speed,s,tf,charNum,index);

Need help with simple folder action or script

I have created an export preset in Lightroom that exports images to a folder called "To Email" on my hard drive, and then automatically attaches those images to a new email in my email client (Mailplane).
It's a great solution that allows me to send a photo via email with one click from Lightroom. However, I want to take it a step further by creating a folder action or script that automatically deletes the image after it is attached to the email. This will allow me to put the folder somewhere deeper in my file system without having to worry about cleaning it out all the time.
Unfortunately, I have no experience with Automator or AppleScript. Can you help? Thanks.

I think you need to rework elements of your workflow.
For example, you say the export preset creates and sends the email.
If this is the case, the the logical place to make your change would be to edit that preset action (I don't have Lightroom to know whether this is an option there or not).
The problem with using a Folder Action is that the Folder Action will trigger when the file is dropped in the folder, but that will be before the email is generated or sent, so you run the risk of deleting the file before it's sent.
So if you can't edit the export preset to do the deletion I would suggest decoupling the 'send an email' and 'delete file' elements from the Lightroom action - in other word change Lightroom to just export the file, and have a separate folder action that triggers when files are added to that folder. The folder action script can take care of generating the email and sending it out, knowing when the email is sent and therefore when it's safe to delete the file.
WIthout seeing more of the current workflow it's not easy to be more specific.

Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.

Need Help with Advanced Button Actions

I am a brand new Captivate 5 user and I have created a image button that I want to have a double action. When the user clicks on the image button, I want it to SHOW a new button AND SHOW another image. I used the Advanced Actions but it does not work when I preview project. Help!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Did you assign the advanced action to the image button as Success action? And the new button + the image have to be on the same slide, but with the status Invisible. You can not show hidden objects that are sitting on another slide then the slide with the advanced action.
If you want to have more information about advanced actions, I do blog a lot about them. Here is the link to my blog:

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

MSI P67A-C45 (B3) Newb needs Help with connections..

Hi all..
First time posting here, but have been in the shadows for quite a while..
Anyway, i decided to finally take the plunge, and build my own PC, and now i'm beginning to hit a few bumps.
I have a couple of questions that i would like some help with, if possible to reassure myself i may be in the right direction..
I bought THIS PSU and was hoping someone could tell me where the Blue connectors (one labelled CP and one labelled U1) Connect to?
Is it into JPWR2? And does it/do they only connect in the correct way? (Do i remove the plastic cap and attach both?
and i bought THIS VIDEO/GRAPHICS CARD and i'm guessing the RED "PCI express" and "SLI ready" connect to that somehow (Haven't opened box yet for card)
Again, wondering is there a certain way for them to connect.
Also, from my chassis, the "AC '97" and "HDA" connectors go to JAUD (I guess), does it matter which one? (I currently have "HDA" connected)
I have i5 2500k already on board. (If that makes a difference).

Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
Do the Audio plugs go into JAUD? and does it matter which one?
Yep, connect the front panel audio to the JAUD. If you need the pin layout, it says in the manual. I would say the HDA connector is the one to connect.
Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
Any recommendations for testing it all, before i plug it in, and press the power?
Should i (Can i) test individual parts first?
Thanks again.
Check all power connections, seating of the RAM and add-on cards, check the HSF is plugged into the fan header, and obvious things like that.
As for testing, enter the BIOS and make sure the CPU isn't running too hot. Set up the RAM with the required timings and voltage, and test with >>Memtest86<< for several hours. No point starting the Windows installation if say your RAM has errors, since it will corrupt files during the install, if it installs at all.

Newbie needs help with passing variables or creating flash object based on parameters

Hello Community,
I'm an amateur developer of Ms Access databases. In one of my applications I want to visualize the options available when reaching a certain score.
What I'd like to get from this trial period, is a flash animation of a dartboard. Depending on an array of variables that provides the fill color (or reference thereof) the layers of the flash object will be dynamicly created, altered, or switched. The dartboard itself remains "static". I'm hoping to use 9 colors.
I can manipulate the array any way needed. I can provide XML coding to pass the array variables. I'm just too new and untrained to incorporate this in a Edge animation or Dreamweaver.
There is no need for interaction, once the object is created (ie no user feedback).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks in advance,
Jay from Stockholm

Hi,
I see you're using System.Data.OracleClient (which has been deprecated by MS) rather than Oracle.DataAccess.Client, but this works for me with Oracle's ODP, maybe it will help.

I'm new to flash and need help with some controls

I'm builidng a site that has a portfiolio of work to display.
When the visitor arrives at the portfolio page he (or she) is
faced with a split panel. The right panel displays a summary of a
client and the work. The left panel displays the work examples
attributed to that client. By clicking forward and backward arrows
in the right panel, the visitor can call the summaries of the
different clients. Landing on a client page 'opens' a separate swf,
called using loader component, that contains the portfolio of that
client's work into the left panel
1. I want forward and backward arrows located on the main
movie in the left panel to control the progress of the loaded swf,
rather than using forward and backward arrows on the loaded swf.
2. I want to prevent the forward and backward arrows in both
panels from clicking beyond frames in the Portfolio area of the
timeline.
3. I want the backward arrow to be innactive on the first
frame, and the forward arrow to be innactive on the last frame.
I have no problems making the arrows work on the main movie
controlling the client summaries. What I don't know how to do is
make them control the movement of the loaded swf, or #2 and #3.
Any help will be greatefully appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Art

Hi Art,
There are different coding methods, depending on where you
put code..
1) Frame code
Click on a frame of the timeline to enter frame code
2) Attached code for movieclips and buttons
Click once on a movieclip or a button then enter attached
code
To make an onEnterFrame event for a movieclip, first chose
either frame code or attached code method. I personally rarely ever
use
attached code because it hides code in places that can be
hard to find. Almost all my coding is frame code, but it's a
personal
choice.
Frame code method to make an onEnterFrame for the main
timeline..
// put this code into a frame on the main timeline
this.onEnterFrame = function()
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
checkMyButtons(); // once per frame we will check on the
button status
OR
Attached Code method to attach an onEnterFrame event to a
movieclip
// click once on the movieclip (don't dbl click it .. stay at
the root timeline level)
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
// do something once per frame at the frame rate
Those two types of code are not interchangeable. One type
must be entered into a frame and the other style must be attached
to a
movieclip or you will get errors.
Then there is the DOT syntax way to write frame code that is
equivalent to attaching code..
myMovieClip.onRelease = function()
trace("release");
myMovieClip.onPress = function()
trace("press");
myMovieClip.onDragOut = function()
trace("drag out");

Newbie Needs Help With Website

I am new to Dreamweaver and am undertaking the task of building my church website. I have placed the images in tables on and centered. I have also set the table width to 60% so that it will display properly in different resolutions. However the links I have created on the left move over the images when the screen size is reduced. My question is what do I need to do with the links to keep them locked in place when the screen size is reduced.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Below is the code that is used for the links

I can't see any tables being used on the entry page.. all you are using is absolutely positioned divs. Not sure why you are using AP divs, are you?
Unless you understand how these work, you will be in a lot of bother, one of them being the exact problem you mention.... read this article before doing anything else:
http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
That layout can be quite easily achieved by a beginner using a table layout - one for header, a nested table layout for the left and right columns and then another for the footer area.
Also a simple css layout would work, but you'd again need to understand css positioning.
The page took a heck of a long time to load and its because all you've used is images.... type your url into the box at this site and you'll see that the image sizes are just too big, causing the slow load times.

Had a look at one of the inner pages (history) and again you are using an image for the text area - why would you do that...
Firstly, it would cause a speed issue and more importantly would cause you problems if you wanted the page spidered by the search engines... no text on a page and the SEs won't find you.
Sorry to say this, but I'd start over, but before you do, please read up on how to create a page (using either tables or css) that isn't as fragile as the one you have and that will be consistent across different browsers.

The last one on the list may suit you to start with, as it takes a FWs comp and shows you how to build the site in Dreamweaver.

Making a Quiz in Flash. Need help with input time

Hi Flash Community,
I'm making currently a quiz using Flash Pro CS5. What I want to implent is a time bar which will load once the bar is loaded it will go to the next frame.
So what I need is first a timer which will start immediately when the user sees the question and I need a time bar which will indicate how far the timing is. So let's say you have 30 seconds to answer the quiz. When the timer is at 15 seconds the bar will be at half.
Something like this http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http://theportablegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ question.jpg&imgrefurl=http://theportablegamer.com/tag/quizquizquiz/&usg=__xsykgRnehmB9P97 gg3W9tAx2Dfg=&h=320&w=480&sz=57&hl=nl&start=0&sig2=tdKlW2Iv6zHo3THsHwdVpQ&zoom=1&tbnid=ToM bL22o-D7BOM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=160&ei=aiz7TcGONI2gOpic0b4E&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dquiz%2Binterface %26um%3D1%26hl%3Dnl%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1902%26bih%3D909%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur =317&page=1&ndsp=68&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:0&tx=100&ty=47
Could anyone help me with this? How do I need to do this?
Thanks!

Create a movieclip with tween about 30 frames and actions stop() in the first frame
AS3 code:
import flash.utils.Timer;
var timer:Timer=new Timer(1000);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,fn);
timer.start();
function fn(e:TimerEvent):void{
    trace(mc.currentFrame);
    if (mc.currentFrame==30){
        timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,fn);
    mc.gotoAndStop(mc.currentFrame+1);
AS2 code:
var n=setInterval(mcfn,1000);
function mcfn(){
    trace(mc._currentframe);
    if (mc._currentframe==30){
        clearInterval();
