How to hide layers or movies using Action Script

Hi All,
I am using a few layers and would like to hide a specific
layer using action scripts - I guess I dont mind doing it as a
movie clip too (hiding the movide clip).
Also I am interested in controling the final *.swf via an
external command to hide that layer or movie clip. How do I do
that?
Thanks in advance,
Steven

rsagi: Layers are only layers while you are editing the fla.
When compiled, layers are merged. I think the best way would be to
use movieclips as containers and hide the "container movieclips".
jlucchesi: from fl8_as2lr.pdf:
"The alpha transparency value of the movie clip. Valid values
are 0 (fully transparent) to 100
(fully opaque). The default value is 100. Objects in a movie
clip with _alpha set to 0 are
active, even though they are invisible. For example, you can
still click a button in a movie clip
whose _alpha property is set to 0. To disable the button
completely, you can set the movie
clip's _visible property to false."

  • How to create an auction website using Action Script 3

    I want to develop an auction website for a flash assignment but I don't know how to go about doing it. Can I get some suggestions?

    If you don't know what you need to create for such a site, then you should try to think of something else that you might have some idea of how to go about doing.  Maybe you should talk to other students or your instructor to get some ideas and to figure out what kinds of things you need to be able to demonstrate with your assignment.

  • How do I rent a movie using money in my iTunes account.  I had to enter at the iTunes gift card code to open the account, but now I can't figure out how to use this money to rent a movie; I opened the account several months ago but never used the money.

    How do I rent a move using moneyin my iTunes account.  I had to enter the iTunes gift ard code to open the account several months ago, but never purchased anything with it.  When I entered this code to rent a movie, the response was that it was redeemed.  What am I doing wrong?

    If you've already redeemed the card onto your account then its amount should be on your account - a card can only be redeemed once.
    To rent a film, find the film in the store and (if the film studio has made it available as a rental in your country) click on its Rent button. If you are beig prompted to review your account and enter credit card details then see if this post from mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without entering card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054 . If that doesn't work then you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
    As long as you account's balance covers the rental cost then only that should be charged. How purchases are billed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

  • Using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

    using action script 2 how can i send a variable value to a dynamic textbox on a different keyframe?

    Thanks for your swift response.
    That sounds like a good solution, but the code I have on frame 2 is this
    timer = 0;
    countup = function(){
    timer++;
    countupInterval = setInterval(countup,100);
    If I added the same actionscript to frame 3 which has a dynamic textbox with a variable timer attached wouldn't it just put the timer back to 0? What I want is the last known value that was given when it was in frame 2.
    I am thinking of temple run here, I am trying to caculate the total distance(set in the timer variable) from the previous try.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • How do I tape a movie using my vcr

    I have played many vcr tapes on this tv.....I wanted to tape a movie tonight but do not know how to do that
    Does anyone know how I can tape a movie using my vcr

    You would need to first ensure your cable is connected through your VCR rather than directly to your TV. Your VCR manufacturer should have instructions on how to record.

    It doesn't really matter if an AppleTV2 has to re-download since using the same bandwidth twice doesn't effect the user.  There are no data caps on home internet like there are on 3G cellular service.
    Many home internet services do have caps, at least in the UK, and I suspect elsewhere to.  My current service is capped at 100GB/month for downloads, though I rarely use that much. 
    I recall a post from someone a few months ago who said that during the course of watching/rewatching a single HD rental they'd used over 20GB of their monthly usage allocation which is a significant chunk if you do have a cap.

  • Increasing the speed for a certian frames in Flash Cs5 using Action Script 3

    I have 60 frames I want to increase the fps value for frames from 20 to 30, and the remaining frames fps value should remain the same
    Using Action Script 3 or Action Script 2
    Thank you and regards

    I have found a script online
    Q: How can I speed the frame rate or slow it down when the movie is playing? For example, I would like to slow the frame rate from the default of 20 fps to 15 fps from frame #80 to frame #150. Then frame rate should speed back up to 20 fps after frame #151, (fps = frames per second).
    A: One way is to use “interval”. An example of changing the speed of the movie from frame #80 to frame #150 is shown below.
    Create a key frame at frame #80 and place this script:
    var fps:Number = 80;
    var intervalID:Number = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
    stop();
    function advanceFrame() {
    clearInterval(intervalID);
    gotoAndStop(_currentframe+1);
    if (_currentframe<151) {
    intervalID = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
    } else {
    play();
    I have changed the values from 80 to 20 and currentframe value to 30
    I get syntax error
    at :
    intervalID = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);
    and
    var intervalID:Number = setInterval(this, “advanceFrame”, 1000/fps);

  • Inventory movement using logic script - BPC NW 10

    Hello BPC experts,
    I'm working on inventory movement using logic script. The idea is that the initial stock of the first period equals the final stock of the previous period.
    Here is an example of my inventory report : (Dimension INVT in function of dimension TIME)
                                                  2014.01       2014.02      2014.03        2014.04
    F01 Stock first period                  12            
    F02 Initial Stock                          12                 11              10                 9
    F03 Inventory Inputs                    2                   4                6                   8
    F04 Inventory Outputs                 3                   5                7                   9
    F05 Final Stock                          11                 10               9                   8
    The Stock of the first period is entered
    The initial Stock = Stock first period (12 in our case)
    Inventory inputs and Outputs are entered
    Final Stock = Initial Stock + Inventory Inputs - Inventory Outputs
    I tried the following script but it does not work :
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = 2014.01 //we should then retrieve the first period of each year which is not necessary the first month of the year
    *WHEN TIME
    *IS 2014.01
    *REC(EXPRESSION = [INVT].[F01], INVT = F02)
    *ENDWHEN
    *SELECT(%TIME_LIST%,"[ID]","TIME","[PREVMEMBER]"<>"") // PREVMEMBER is a property of TIME
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIME_LIST%
    *XDIM_MEMBERSET INV = F05
    *WHEN TIME
    *IS %TIME_LIST%
    //Something is missing here.. How to retrieve F05 values related to all periods and copy them in F02
    *REC(EXPRESSION =[INVT].[F05],INVT = F02)
    *ENDWHEN
    Please how can I achieve this ?
    Thanks

    Hi Vadim,
    Thank you for your reply
    I'm working with BPC NW 10 SP 05 (CPMBPC 801 SP 05), Engine ABAP
    My model contains the following dimensions ACCOUNT (A), TIME (T), CATEGORY (C), ENTITY (E), CURRENCY (R), INVT (User Def)
    In the INVT dimension we have members like (Stock first period, Initial Stock, Inventory Inputs, Inventory Outputs, Final Stock)
    - [INVT].[Stock first period] is entered
    - [INVT].[Initial Stock] = [INV].[Stock first period]
    - [INVT].[Inventory input] and [INVT].[Outputs] are entered
    - [INVT].[Final Stock] = [INVT].[Initial Stock] + [INVT].[Inventory Inputs] - [INVT].[Inventory Outputs]
    We want to calculate Initial Stock in DEFAULT.lgf :
    [INVT].[Initial Stock] when (TIME=2014.01) = [INVT].[Stock First Period] when (TIME= 2014.01)
    [INVT].[Initial Stock] when (TIME=2014.02) = [INVT].[Final Stock] when (TIME= 2014.01)
    [INVT].[Initial Stock] when (TIME=2014.03) = [INVT].[Final Stock]  when (TIME=2014.02)
    [INVT].[Initial Stock] when (TIME=2014.04) = [INVT].[Final Stock]  when (TIME=2014.03)
    When a user enters the values of "Stock first period", "Inventory Inputs" and "Inventory Outputs", Initial Stock and Final stock should be calculated via logic script

  • Help with Nav Bar using Action Script 3

    I am a flash NOOB to say the least.  Trying to teach myself.  Thank God for YouTube! LOL!  Anyway, I have build a Nav Bar for a site that has a sliding bar on the bottom of it that follows the mouse.  The problem with this nav bar is that when you change pages inside the site, the slider resets back to position X/Y = 0 and you really don't know what page you are on for sure without me having to identify each page in the page body itself.
    Does anyone know of a way using action script to have the URL of the page sent to flash and in turn use that URL to set the X and Y position of the slider to the appropriate X and Y of the button on the Nav Bar for the page the user is on?
    I have heard of using flash.external.ExternalInterface but now for sure how this really works nor if I can assign it to a variable for reference inside the action script.
    Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

    The Flash Nav Bar is at the top of each page.  But yes, when you click a button inside the flash nav bar it takes you away from your current page and loads a new one.  I am trying to tell the swf file which page it is on so I can set the X and Y position of the slider.
    You will have to excuse me if I am so noob that I loose any of your replies to this as just as Flash is new to me, so is the lingo.
    Thank you for your help.  I will research FlashVar but if you have any other ideas then I am open to them.
