• Need help with movie clip display and timer

  I worked on a game in flash for the last couple days and this is my first major game so there was a lot of problems.  For those who have helped so far thanks so much!

  I think that I finally got it with a few exceptions, they are.

  1. the clip that serves as my pop-up window is popping up behind all my mobile icons.  I need over them of course.

  2. I need to find a simple way to stop time while the pop up is in place and to make up the time when she disappears.

  OR

  3. I need to add 5 seconds to the game clock when the user draws a question mark to make it appear as if the clock stopped.

  If someone has an incentive it would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

  This is my code of timer clock to date!

  onClipEvent (enterFrame) {}
  If (_root.time == 30) {}
  _root. TECH = 9;
  _root.intervaln = 30;
  }
  If (_root.time == 10) {}
  _root.intervalz = 10;
  }
  If (_root.time == 0) {}
  _root.gotoAndStop (3);
  }
  }

  1. you should not set any code for an object.  all your code must be attached to frames or in classes.

  2. use swapDepths() to change the depth of a movieclip

  3. There is nothing in your code on a timer.

• Flash CS5 beginner - need help with Add URL link animated banner

  I apologize if this is a very basic question, but I am a newbie in Flash design. I created a basic animation in Flash CS5 and I need to add a clickable URL link. I tried a few tutorials that seemed promising, but none of them solved my problem. I tried a number of things, including the conversion to parts or all of the simple images buttons or movies and linking them this way as well as type in the code ActionScript 2 and 3, which none was successful. The animation plays correctly in my browser, but when I click it, the link does not work. I wish that the entire banner clickable to take viewers to the website linked instead to use the text of the hyperlink. Also, when I open the Code snippets window, it is empty, any image or image I selected. Do I need to import snippets of code somewhere or just will I things the wrong way? Any help is greatly appreciated!

  go to your help section and search the reference Guide of Action Script 3.  It is the repository of all the possibilities of ActionScript with Flash and Flex.  You can consult the alphabetical index URLRequest and navigateToUrl.  There could even be code samples included.  I haven't looked right, but you'll probably get before doing so.

• Need help with movie controls (specifically the reboot)

  Hi all

  Noob question, so bear with me.

  I have a site that loads a page with video playing on one of the pages.  I put it in place so that clicking on the button of the page starts the video and clicking on a button for a another page stops the video.

  However, instead of stop the video she just paused, so that when the user returns to the page with the video the video resumes where it left off, rather than restart.

  My site as a whole is a great movie clip, so each page is not loaded when we click a button - the content is just interpolated on the stage.

  Is it possible for me to have the control to stop the film playing (other buttons on the page) or to start playback of the movie (own page button) to have restart instead of the first image?

  Code for the start is really simple:

  content_mc.about_mc. MyVideo.Play ();

  and the judgment is:

  content_mc.about_mc. MyVideo.Stop ();

  Thank you.  I know I'm asking for the wrong thing because I left speechless Google results with what I ask, helps find the right way to do it is appreciated, even if I like a lot the way the site is designed so preferably not redo the whole site would be great!

  C.

  If you do not use a pause button so you can activate your flvplayback instance autoRewind property the flv file will restart from the beginning, whenever it stops:

  content_mc.about_mc. MyVideo.autoRewind = true;

• Need help duplicate Movie Clip problem

  Here's my problem:
  First of all, I have a movie that loads an external SWF that contains several images (each of the different "module" for a product)
  Each of these modules is named "module", more the number of frame (the frame one its "module1")
  
  So in the other film, which takes care of this, I used the script to load:
  var moduleloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
  moduleloader.loadClip ("PLCbuildermodules.swf", _root.modules);
  
  So... the real clip (called "modules") I added this script:
  {We (Press)}
  moduleName = eval ("module" + _root.modules._currentframe);
  {if(this._name=="modules")}
  i ++ ;
  duplicateMovieClip (modulename, "OxygisNouveau" + i, this.getNextHighestDepth ())
  startDrag (modulename, true);
  }
  }
  
  Now the problem is basically when reproduce you them, he hangs out fine like its supposed to... but when you click again, it duplicates again. I tried to counter this with the if(this._name=="modules") {script, but without success...}
  
  I am sure that the problem is that the clip be duplicated in the parent movie clip. I just can't understand how to reproduce them outside the clip parent!
  
  I would appreciate ANY help!
  
  Thanks in advance!

  -EDIT-
  
  Sorry for the double post... that was an accident...:)

  Well, I used the wrong terminology (I think...)...
  I think that what I had intended to say is,

  How to duplicate a clip so that the copy can be found outside its parent?

  Thank you!

• Beginner, need help with ActionScript 3.0

  Hi all
  I am a newbie to flash and have little experience with OBJECT oriented programming (and therefore of action script), so I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge. I think it is easy enough to fix, just don't know the syntax or if there is a better way to do it. Here's my problem:
  
  I created a flash file which has a card (like a layer of the base image) with 4 quadrants, I created separate layer (converted to a button) which corresponds to the limit of 1 of the 4 quadrants, and added a simple script, I copied and modified since a tutorial Adobe (see syntax). Instead of a new webpage to appear and the text output "I clicked" I want a new window appears with the plan of each quadrant (which is another image, jpg).
  
  I don't know what is the syntax to call this new image upward once your mouse over individual quadrant.
  
  Thank you
  

  Try this code. It should simplify what you want to do. Just replace the real names of new html documents that you want to open.

• Beginner needs help with Aironet 1131 G Wireless Access Point

  I have a new Cisco Aironet 1131 G wireless access point.  It takes an IP address and I can ping this address.  However, I can't access it via the graphical user interface based on the web or the CLI.  I preformed reset.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can't access that means? you are not able to go to the CONFIG T of the CLI prompt? and if you are in the same subnet as the AP, are you not able to open to the top of the GUI? If you are not able to then, with the command 'show version' on the AP CLI and see if your image is "RCVKW8". If so you will need to convert the same IOS using the method below.

• Beginner needs help with SimpleReadWrite

  After reviewing the NI-488.2\Examples\DotNet3.5\SimpleReadWrite\vb (which works fine) in "step" mode I can not yet discover the command which

  sends information on the device string. If I declare: BoardID As String = "0" Dim, Dim PrimaryAddress As String = "13", Dim SecondaryAddress As String =

  '0', Command1 dim As String = "* IDN?" what comes after?. Is this the right approach? What else do I need to know, and where and how I can find it?

  You did not add the assemblies to your project references list, as I have indicated in my note at the end of my answer lat. This is done through the project-> add a reference... menu item. Be sure to select the assemblies that are located in the folder of VS2008, where you have installed the support for multiple versions of .NET. This is distinct from the required Imports instructions. The Imports statement allows to simply do not have to write the full name of the class. So, having a NationalInstruments.NI4882 import you can declare a variable as

  GpibDevice private as a device

  instead of the full name

  Private GpibDevice As NationalInstruments.NI4882.Device

  What about the ReplaceCommonEscapeSequences error, well, you actually have this function in your form. This copy of the SimpleReadWrite example function.

  You should check that your device is expected for the command. Require a carriage return after the order? Require a line break? If so, you must change the definition of Cmd1 to include these characters, as is done in the SimpleReadWrite example.

• Need help with a basic host script?

  All I recently started using Powershell scripts and as big a language it is that I'm still learning at the 'very' early stages. All I would do is create a script that reads some hosts from a text file, and then it receives some info on all the virtual machines associated with this host. I know that the get - vm command can do for ALL the virtual machines in VC but when I run my script it seems to get the information for the VC together and NOT on a per-host basis. (We have several hosts within the domain and require info VM only a couple). Ive checked some samples but nothing that allows me to get the info I need Heres my script so far (very basic, I know!)  $hostlist = (get-vmhost-name (get-content c:\hosts.txt) | select name) #Get VMs for each host foreach ($esx in $hostlist) {$VMs = get - vm foreach ($vm in $VMs) {Write-host $vm. Write-host $vm name. $vm.numcpu MemoryMB Write-host Write-host $vm. Guest}} I know its really basic so far, but all I'm trying to achieve is just get some info on some VMS and report to the console (I know that I can send the information to a spreadsheet myself so now worries it) thank you very much for you help in advance

  You can limit the virtual machines, you receive chaining cmdlets Get-VmHost and Get - Vm together like this

  $hostlist = (get-vmhost -Name (get-content c:\hosts.txt) | select Name)
  
  #Get VMs for each host
  foreach ($esx in $hostlist) {
    $VMs = Get-VMHost $esx | Get-VM
    foreach ($vm in $VMs) {
      Write-host $vm.Name
      Write-host $vm.MemoryMB
      Write-host $vm.numcpu
      Write-host $vm.Guest
    }
  }
  

• need help with first vsphere powercli script

  Greetings,

  Asked me to write a script to iterate over all the virtual machines in a given folder and to stop.  The name of the folder is blue (and is deep in several files).

  So far, I have:

  $svr = Connect-VIServer-Server svr-protocol https-user--password...

  $fldr = get-file-server $svr - blue name

  I don't know what to do next.  I would like to somehow get a picture of the VMS in the Blue folder, and then run:

  {foreach ($vm to $vmlist)

  Get - VM $vm | Stop-VMGuest

  }

  How can I do this?  Ideally, it should be wrapped in a function that I could pass the name of the file, because I really need to stop the virtual machines in the blue folder and a few others, too.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  -John

  You can specify the file on the location of the Get-VM cmdlet parameter.

  Something like that

  foreach( $vm in (Get-Vm -Location (Get-Folder Blue)) {
      $vm | Shutdown-VMGuest
  }
  

  In PowerShell and PowerCLI, there is of course more then a way to get there.

  It should work as well

  Get-Folder Blue | Get-VM | %{
     Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $_
  }

• Need help with simple if/then script

  I'm trying to replicate a simple if/then statement excel in a PDF form. Have tried several things, but am just not a scripter Java.  The hope that I could get help from the community.

  I have three boxes that contain information on costs. They are labeled LaborCost, MaterialCost & EquipmentCost. Later, in the form, I have two boxes of different output for the sum out of my first three boxes.  If it's a positive number and the other is a negative number.  In Excel forumla language, that's what each of the boxes would read as:

  For the 1st result if it is a positive number: @if (+ LaborCost + MaterialCost + EquipmentCost > 0, + LaborCost + MaterialCost + EquipmentCost, 0)

  For the 2nd result if it is a negative number: @if (+ LaborCost + MaterialCost + EquipmentCost < 0, + LaborCost + MaterialCost + EquipmentCost, 0)

  I think that this should be a simple thing to write, but I'm not familiar with the games of the appropriate language.

  Your colletive help is VERY appreciated.

  Steven

  Try following the calculation script customized:

  // Sum the field values, as numbers
  var sum = +getField("LaborCost").value;
  sum += +getField("MaterialCost").value;
  sum += +getField("EquipmentCost").value;
  
  // Set this field value
  event.value = sum > 0 ? sum : 0;
  

  For others, change the last line:

  Event.Value = sum< 0="" sum="" :="">

• Need help with this find/replace Script.

  Hi I got this script from Loic.Aigon.  And I got it works for find/replace simple changes however I Cannon operate for several changes.

   function cb5CallBack(target) {
          var findProps, changeProps;
          
              findProps = {findWhat:"Distributed by ",}   
                changeProps = { changeTo:"Distributed by. ",}
              findProps = {findWhat:"Distribué par ",}   
                changeProps = { changeTo:"Distribué par. ",}
              findProps = {findWhat:"Distribuido por ",}    
                changeProps = { changeTo:"Distribuido por. ",},
            
          RTXT(target, findProps, changeProps);   
          } 
  

  function RTXT(target, findProps, changeProps)
  {
  app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = true;
  app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
  app.findTextPreferences.properties = findProps;
  app.changeTextPreferences.properties = changeProps;
  app.changeTextPreferences.properties = changeProps;
  target.changeText();
  }
  

  You must call the function RTXT repeatedly as well:

      var findProps, changeProps;

      findProps   = { findWhat:"Distributed by "};

      changeProps = { changeTo:"Distributed by. "};

      RTXT(target, findProps, changeProps);

      findProps   = { findWhat:"Distribué par "};

      changeProps = { changeTo:"Distribué par. "};

      RTXT(target, findProps, changeProps);

      findProps   = { findWhat:"Distribuido por "};

      changeProps = { changeTo:"Distribuido por. "};

      RTXT(target, findProps, changeProps);

• Need help with Flash - really basic!

  Hi, I really need help with Flash and quick. I have to create an auto-run cd, but before I can create that, I have to make everything works! I took a class in College Flash, which up to 1 1/2 ago so im kind of knowledge missing!
  
  My first problem is as follows:
  I have the homepage, and it contains a button English and french.
  When you click on buttons, it brings you to the next page, either resourcesFr or resourcesEn.
  I tried to use the loadMovie script but and it works but the new page loads on the home page you can still see the English/french under buttons. How can I fix? I know its simple but I am short on time... Should I still use the loadMovie script?
  
  My other problem is that im trying to have another button to link to a folder. Use the script for getURL for this as well?
  
  Help!

  I was able to solve my problem... it was only the forward slash that were in the wrong way... so the correct code is:

  on (release) {}
  DRV = _url.substr (8.1);
  getURL (drv + ": / English/brochures");
  }

  Only took me 5 days... I think I need to buy a script book action! Laughing out loud
