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.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.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback
Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?
The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag. -
HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5
Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused. I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side.
Good news,, I dont need a super giant system, I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to.. So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with. So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there. I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW? WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
cs6:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
1280x900 display
7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
Any responses would be great. I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questionsAll the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine. They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine. Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later. I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive. It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives. Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS. There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also. There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
Notes on all the current iMacs
iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives. If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X. And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two). There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks. If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it. You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer. -
Need Help With Download For Airport Express
Ok, computer dummy here needing help with airport express. We were given airport express last night from a friend who recently purchased a newer gadget. He told us we would need to come here to download the operating system. I see lots of links to updates but no links for someone like me who has never had anything like this on my computer before. Does anyone know what link I would need to use? We have a pc with windows XP. Thanks so much for your help!
Hello jesschambers. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) doesn't have an "operating system" per se, but it does have built-in firmware which pretty much is the same thing. In addition, in order to administer the AX, you will need the AirPort Admin Utility for your Windows PC.
Here are the links for the latest versions of both:
o AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Windows
o AirPort 4.2 for Windows -
Need help with pagination for book
I am working on a book and need help with the pagination. I was able to make the TOC and front matter show the numbers as Roman numerals, and the body of the text as Arabic numerals, but I can't figure out how to restart the numbering sequence for the body of the text. So the front matter is numbered i-xvi, and the text is 17-681. I need the text to start with the number 1. Each subsequent chapter is a section break as well, if that makes a difference.
Many thanks,

Need help with a customized interactive web application for apparel
Help!!!!
Hi I am a web designer at beginners stage with web
devlopment. I am seeking guidance on how to develop a customized
interactive web application so that the end user can change color
and patterns of apparel on vector images such as teamsports
uniforms and tshirts. Once the design is customized to their liking
they can save it with all of the spec information in a file to
there desktop or to a database to send to the manufacturer.
Also looking for a possible way to use a CMS so I can upload
templates of the garment easily for the end user to customize
online. Can this be done and if so how? This is an example the kind
of application I am looking for:
http://www.dynamicteamsports.com/elite/placeorder.jsp
I am in desperate need of some brilliant developer to help
with this.
Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to assist or give
me guidance,
Danka
"Reap what you sew"some parts of that are doable using non-advanced skills, but
will be difficult and unwieldly if there are more than a few
colors/patterns.
saving the image to the server is a bit more advanced and
you're going to need some server-side scripting like php, perl, asp
etc. in addition to some flash programming ability. -
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.
-Ken_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. -

of course all the commented out lines are not being used in the program anymore but just there till i have the program working with everything in it runs and performs the actions required now though ^_^

Need help with LikeFilter for querying the keyset instead of value
Hi,
I'm looking for help with the LikeFilter.
I need to query the cache to get all entries with key starting with a particular string.
I could see samples using LikeFilter for querying the values in the cache but not the keyset.
Can someone help?
E.g:
Cache Entries:
abc123 - value1
abc234 - value2
bcd123 - value3
I want to get all entries with key starting with 'abc'.
thanks,
rama.NJ, thanks for the quick reply.
I tried something similar (as below) but this code gives me 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/tangosol/util/ValueExtractor'.
KeyExtractor extractor = new KeyExtractor("getKey");
Filter filter = new LikeFilter(extractor, id+":%",'-',false);
-rama.

Need help with as3 for popup window
I am nearing the end of the semester in my Flash Animation class. I have learned very simple AS3 things, code snippets etc. I am trying to find the actionscript for coding a very simple popup window, but have not found a clue.
Here's what I want to do...I have a white box with some type on the stage. When a person clicks on the white box, I want a popup to open that is larger, that will contain the same type but larger. That box will have an x so it can be dismissed. I don't want to do this in html, only in Flash CS5. I don't want a browser window, I just want a bigger version of the smaller box. I know how to build both boxes, just don't know how to write the code. I know there will be an on-click mouse event listener, and then I am lost.
Can anyone help with the code I might use? It would be most appreciated.It would be something along the lines of... (using instance names relative to your description)...
popup.visible = false;
whiteBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPopup);
function showPopup(evt:MouseEvent):void {
popup.visible = true;
popup.popupX.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, hidePopup);
function hidePopup(evt:MouseEvent):void {
popup.visible = false; -
I need help with searching for an image inside another image
I need to write a program that checks for a specific image (a jpg) inside another, larger, image (a jpg). If so, it returns a value of true. Can anyone help me?
Winner takes all. First person to solve this gets 10 dukes.
Please help.Hi,
I would use a full screen image Sequence made with png for transparency and put your article behind. no auto play, stop at first and last image. and information for swipe to display article. -
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. -
I need help with my for loop in this array
Ok well, I can't get my code to work. Also, please remember that this is just my draft so it isnt pretty. I will fix it up later so please look at it. The thing I want to do is look into the array for a time that matches what the user entered and return the toString() of that one. I know there is something wrong with my for loop but I cant figure how to fix it. please help. here is what i have so far:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Runner
public static void main (String[] args)
String timeStr;
int time, again, optiStr;
Inbound[] in = new Inbound[25];
in[0]=new Inbound ("",0,"On Time num0");
in[1]=new Inbound ("",2,"On Time num1");
in[2]=new Inbound ("",3,"Delayed num2");
in[3]=new Inbound ("",4,"On Time");
in[4]=new Inbound ("",5,"On Time");
in[5]=new Inbound ("",6,"Canceled");
in[6]=new Inbound ("",1,"Canceled num6");
in[7]=new Inbound ("",8,"On Time");
in[8]=new Inbound ("",9,"Delayed");
in[9]=new Inbound ("",10,"On Time");
in[10]=new Inbound ("",11,"Delayed");

in[22]=new Inbound ("",23,"On Time");
in[23]=new Inbound ("",24,"Cancled");
in[24]=new Inbound ("",7,"On Time num24");
do{
timeStr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("In military time, what hour do you want?");
time = Integer.parseInt(timeStr);
if (time<=0 || time>24)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Error");
optiStr = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog (null, "If you want Incoming flights click Yes, but if not click No");
if (optiStr==JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
//(ok this is the for loop i am talking about )
for (int index = 0; index < in.length; index++)
if ( time == Inbound.getTime())
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, Inbound.tostring()); //return the time asked for
// else JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "else");
}//temp return else if failed to find time asked for
// else
// if (optiStr==JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION)
// JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Canceled");
// else
// {Outbound.run();
// JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "outbound");}//temp
again=JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Try again?");
while (again==JOptionPane.YES_OPTION);
}any help would be greatly appriciated.rumble14 wrote:

Inbound.getTime() is a static method of your Inbound class, that always returns the same value, I presume? As opposed to each of the 25 members of your array in, which have individual values?
