I need help with Actionscript 2.0

Ok so I am made a button using flash 9 and actionscript 3.0
then I sent it to someone and they told me to make it in flash 8
using actionscript 2.0 now everything works except for the button.
The button keeps having errors so is there diffrent html I have to
insert in 2.0 then 3.0? If so can you please tell me what it i and
I will just rename stuff like the web address and the instance
name. Please!
Thanks a lot Jessica

What actionscript do you currently have attached to your
button?
What errors are you getting? It's hard to tell what the
problem is if you don't provide a little more information.
However, buttons are simple. After clicking on the button on
the stage, go to the Actions panel, and code like this will work
fine for you...
on (release) {
getURL("
http://whatever", "_blank"); // you may
leave off the "_blank" if you don't want a new window
}

  • Timeliner needing help with actionscript

    i'm on an inherited project. The developer wrote everything
    as actionscript in the first frame. It's a web banner that after
    //scene1 needs to on rollover (or after 60 seconds) begin playing
    //scene 2, and right now it plays automatically. I'm a total
    timeline guy and need help. I know it's simple but I seem to be
    spinning my wheels.Thanks!

    is there more code in that textTween.onMotionFinished
    method?

  • Need Help with ACTIONSCRIPT for Interactive Music Video

    I am trying to create an interactive music video in After Effects and Flash.
    The concept is that while the music video is taking place the user can  decorate the hair of the woman with any of the objects they select.   There will be predetermined animations and destination spots but the  user can choose whatever objects they select to be delivered to the  predetermined spot.  I need to figure out how to let the user to select  an object that will become part of the animation.  I created a PDF  Roughly explaining what I am trying to do.  If anyone can help me I'd be  very grateful as I am more versed in After Effects, I don't know  ActionScript well enough to execute what I am trying to do.
    Below is a rough example of what I am trying to do.  There will be a music video of an animated woman singing.  As she is singing the user will be able to click any of the objects , below the numbers 1-10.  Below it is illustrated that the user wants to press the blue number 2.  If the user presses the 2 the 2 will animate in the mouth of a bird to a predetermined pre-animated spot.  I assume I need to send a movieclip to a blank  holder on the timeline and use a gotoAndPlay() action ???  I am not well versed in ActionScript so any advice would help
    Now whatever number (movieclip) the user chooses next needs to be placed in another blank spot in the timeline? Below the user selcts the Pink 5.
    If the user just wanted to Place two "Blue 2's" then the "Blue 2's" would follow the same animated path and end up at the same predetermined space.
    If the user selected just 5's and 7's they would go to the predetermined preanimated paths
    How would I go about writing the Actionscript for this?

    Look, I hope you don't have false expectation that by knowing one piece of AS capabilities you will be able to accomplish your task.
    If I say that the code for placing one MovieClip into another is:
    clip1.addChild(clip2);
    will it make any difference in terms of implementation?
    Also, you say "select." This may mean a lot of thing: click, drag and drop, mouse down, etc. I am saying that implementation tightly depends of definitions that you give.
    I don't know the extend of your AS skills, so it is not easy to figure where to start helping. Also, forum, perhaps, is not the medium where someone will write a lot of code for you. It is good for getting answers to very specific questions and solutions. This is when you have some code in place already.
    What I would suggest is to start developing a very rough concept - no video, no birds, no numbers - just a static background image of the person you have in your first post. If you advance to an application that will allow user to select a square, place the square into another one - it will be a good start.

  • Need help with actionscript for media controller

    I seem to be having a slight problem. I've been looking
    around and everything I see is for .flv playback. Anyways, here's
    my problem.
    Client wants a video that's interactive. When a transition
    occurs a simple tex button shows up which links to certain web
    pages. Deploying this as a .swf would be no problem, but they want
    a controlbar with it so a user can scrub back and forth in the
    video. So the best way to do this would be progressive or
    streaming.
    I created a source file that utilizes the "loader component"
    and inserted the "media controller component". I'm not very good
    when it comes to actionscript and can't seem to find the proper
    script which utilizes the media controller so the user can scrub
    back and forth. Everything else seems to work fine with the loader
    as it loads an external .swf file.
    Just need to get the controller working properly. Total
    frames of the swf is a little over 3,000 and dividing the total
    frames by 30 was 107.7 seconds. So I round that to 108 seconds. The
    online docs seem to be fragmented and not always consistant
    especially when i'm not using the flvplayback or display.
    Does anybody know the actionscript for this? Or where I can
    find the information on this? I've associated the loader with the
    controller and vice versa in the behaviors panel as well if that's
    any help. Any help is much appreciated thanks.

  • Need help with actionscript (flash professional)

    Ok so its been a while since I've used flash and i need a
    little bit of help. I've searched through the help books and tried
    to figure it out on my own but im stuck.
    I'm making a website for my music page using flash
    professional on Mac OSX.
    I'm trying to make a menu along the left side that when you
    press the "more" button at the bottom of multiple other buttons it
    will make the set of links (which i have as buttons) switch out
    with another set of links. (also buttons)
    I cant get this more button to do it though!
    here is a link to my .fla file
    http://rapidshare.com/files/196874495/website.fla.html
    Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks.

    _parent tells the guy that's holding the movieclip (its
    parent) to do something.
    The reason I say something seems corrupted with the file is
    because I took your button out of the movieclip and used it with
    the code you had for the movieclip, which should have worked as you
    had it on(release){ gotoAndPlay(2)} because for whatever reason,
    buttons don't consider the guy holding them as their parent...
    bitter adopted orphans I reckon.
    but it didn't work, and I gave up trying to figure out why.
    Sometimes files just need to find a new home in another
    file.

  • I need help with Actionscript!

    I built my first site in flash.
    My pages have a UILoader which uploads a different image when clicked. Actionscript for my entire site is as follows:
    //LOAD A RANDOM BACKGROUND (FROM 1 TO 10)
    var randomNumber:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*19);
    trace (randomNumber);
    bkgrndimage.source = "images/image"+randomNumber+".jpg";
    stop();
    //handle events for buttons...
    about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
    home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
    design.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
    photo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
    resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
    contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSection);
    function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent) {
    //trace shows what's happening..in the output window
    trace ("The "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!")
    //go the the section clicked on...
    gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
    On two of my pages, I want a link to an external swf file that i created with slideshowpro. How do i link the button to the swf file??

    Yeah, you're missing what I'm explaining, so I'll try with a little more detail, though you won't learn by being handed a solution.
    An event handler function is the function that you are assigning your event listener to call when you assign an event listener.  For the code you showed, your group of event listener assignments all point to the same event handler function... clickSection.  So you need to create another event handler function for the other button you want to click to open a different browser window... it has to have a different name than the one you already have.
    Let's say you call your button swfBtn
    swfBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickSwfBtn);
    function clickSwfBtn(evt:MouseEvent):void {
         navigateToURL(new URLRequest("your.swf"), "_blank");
    Note that you probably want to have your swf in a web page rather than linking directly to it.

  • Need help with actionscript 2 (root.attachmovie)

    Hi all!  I have a big problem at work. Here is the situation.  I have an html passing a variable as an array to my flash.  In the flash i want to call a couple of symbols depending on the variable from html and display them as a slideshow. I need to add these symbols dynamically but i dont know where to start.  I have created all my movie symbols and linked them for actionscript.  I have created a simple line of code just to display one symbol using _root.attachMovie and the  symbol does not show. here it the code:
    _root.attachMovie(usb, usb,1);
    usb.x = 276.15;
    usb.y = 199.50;
    Now the symbol should be visible right? What am i doing wrong?

    This is the Flash Player forum; you better ask in the Actionscript forum.

  • I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

    Hi, thanks for reading!
    I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
    I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
    .swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
    department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
    have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
    website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
    The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
    problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
    frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
    before the movie will proceed and play through.
    What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
    HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
    allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
    modify.
    I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
    another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
    start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
    just play through.
    var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
    getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);
    mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
    function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
    mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
    But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
    is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
    has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
    Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
    .fla files.
    http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
    What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
    bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
    media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
    done in HCIC_container.swf.
    I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
    if you look at the files it should make sense.
    ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
    definitely over my head here.
    Thanks for your help.

    Got my solution on another forum.

    It looks to me like you are terminating the <mx:Application> tag at the top. The opening tag should end like this: resultFormat="e4x">, not resultFormat="e4x"/> (Remove the /).

    Hi!
    Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
    I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button

    The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
    Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
    thank you

    My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
    Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
    var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
    context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
    context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
    var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
    var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
    ldr.load(urlReq, context);

    If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

My mail URL adress  iss: http://lisbondreamwalk.li.funpic.org  This is a free host, so they don't work with forms like in the course, and I need some additional info for the php. Here is my HTML (Flash actionscript 3.0) for the sending I only have the red text to fill in (php), I was told by the adobe course.I really hope someone can help me?! Thanks in advance!

  • I have a REAL problem that I need help with

    many thanks to kglad for all his help last week with a problem but it hasn't fully sorted it out. I have a site with 908 buttons. Basically a person clicks a button, makes a donation (through paypal) and then that button gets their name displayed when the mouse hovers over it. Essentially the button becomes the property of the person who makes the donation. The problem I need help with is how to disable each button when someone clicks it. Disabling a button isn't the problem. I need it disabled only when the person has made a valid donation. Each button has a unique instance name (b001 - b908). There must be a way.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I can't get this to work at all. At this stage, I'm considering a complete restructure of the site in dreamweaver.
    I would love to be able to complete it in actionscript though as I would be learning something new.
    When a user clicks a button, and goes through the paypal process, I need the clicked button to be disabled.
    It has to be such that it gets disabled only when a user has made a donation through paypal. For example, plenty
    of people may just click on the buttons as they are checking the site out, without any intention of using the paypal
    facility. This is just human nature. Obviously, I don' t want any buttons disabled under these circumstances.
    I was thinking, do I need a statement such as .......... "on returning from paypal, disable the clicked button"
    Or is it just a case of......... "on returning from paypal, remove the event handler"
    Or is it something completely different, I require, (please don't say a brain would be helpful).
    Is there some generic code out there that could help me out please.

  • Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

    Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of.  I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our  "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit"  issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
    We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
    I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
    You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
    (and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks',  "Adobe phone-in experiences")
    Thank You,

    Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
    So  I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself,  I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products"  to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
    OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi  & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any  "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE"  button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is,  how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
    So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a  " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
    So after thinking this all out,  and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
    Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year,  I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
    A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however,  if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
    I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
    OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending"  with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly,  and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add)..,  except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form....  Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of.  First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
    Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
    It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time)  of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one,  basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it...  and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
    Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly,  the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4)  If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
    Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that?  Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

    What's the problem you're having ???
    PS.

  • Need help with trim and null function

    Hi all,
    I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
    SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
    (AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
    FROM Table
    I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
    trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
    What you're saying is:
    SELECT  trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
    ,       NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
    FROM    Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
    If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
    SELECT  NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
                , 'XX'
    FROM    Table

Maybe you are looking for
