• Should I only use ActionScript with movie clip symbols

  A clip is the only type of symbol that I can use to manipulate with ActionScript if I simply want to create a static image of a button that triggers an event if clicked, this image must be saved as a movie clip symbol even if there is nothing animation on this subject?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  You can also use button symbols. Depending on the version of
  ActionScript you are using, you can generate these symbols (but no chart
  symbols) entirely by the code. If you have a little flexibility.

  A clip would be the best choice, Yes. If you create the three
  time of symbols - a clip, a button and a graphic - and drag them
  on stage, you'll notice that only the clip and button will be
  allow you to give them names of instance with the property inspector. It's the
  name of the instance which allows ActionScript to 'talk' to these symbols by name.
  Graphic symbols do not for example names, then they are not programmable.

• Clickable button inside the movie clip symbol?

  I would like to know how I can have clickable buttons inside a movie clip symbol.
  
  
  Thank you.

  Your problem is mainly code compared to the location of objects location. When you start the file, the keys 1 to 8 are classified under code because they are visible, while the 9-11 thru buttons are not because they live in a non-current setting of the miniature timeline. When you switch to the side MORE things, these buttons is not any code assigned to them, and when you come back, the same is true for the first eight buttons because they were out of the picture and lost their connection to any code (the previous assignments have been already spent to frame 1 of the main timeline).

  What you should probably do is locate your button code for frames where the buttons in the thumbnail movieclip. In this way, their code is always where they are. The code of the keys 1 to 8 will be in frame 1 of the miniature clip and the code for 9 to 11 will be in frame 2. You need to change the code for the form:

  thumb1.onRelease = function() {}
  _parent.gotoAndPlay("1");
  };

  And you're going to do you a favor if you do not use the numbers of the labels.

• Why there are graphics and Movie Clip in Flash?

  Where there are graphics and Movie Clip in Flash?
  
  What is the deference?
  When to choose one of the other?
  It would be simpler if Flash does that Movie Clip (so people are not confusing choose)?
  
  Thank you!
  
  

  Main differences are:

  MovieClip symbols contain their own calendars. That's why they can run animations inside of them that are independent of the main timeline. They are also targeted by actionscript to run the script-driven events, animations, changes, etc.

  Graphic symbols are better used to hold static images images, text or what you create with the drawing tools. Although you can run an animation in them, it should the main timeline to be of the same length to see the full animation. Graphic symbols cannot be targeted by actionscript.

• play movie clip symbol at the end of the animation, but does not appear in the timeline

  Work in Adobe Flash CS5

  When I play my movie in the Flash file, the animation stops at the end of the timeline, as it should. But when I test the movie, or export it to any film format, it will play an instance of a movie clip symbol that I used in the animation. There is no extra frame in the timeline panel beyond which must be considered to be the last image. Y at - it a setting or something I forgot that could cause this instance of the symbol to play at the end of the animation, without air in the main timeline? This can be corrected?

  your movieclip (or a parent) who plays on the main timeline or is loaded by your swf.  If you load this movieclip (published as a swf file), you can be sure that your movieclip (or a parent) is the culprit.

  Use the movie Explorer to find all instances of your movieclip using the library for this movieclip name.  If that does not reveal the culprit, you have either made a mistake in your search or if you have a movieclip in doubles.

• How to change the alignment of the existing "Movie Clip" symbol Point?

  Hi all

  by:  Adobe Flash Professional CS6

  My Flash program contains a 'Symbol' MovieClip and then to the breast of this "Movie Clip" there are 3 layers, which are about 6-7 long chassis.

  Right now is size of video Clip "1680 x 1050" and it is centered on the stage. But the registration point is in a strange situation. It seems

  as it is biased a bit and to the right.

  I was wondering if there was a way to change the point of alignment in the same way as when you create the symbol (* that is when it shows you the )

  points of type "grid" which you click on one of them and it becomes its registration point)? I read about how you can change the registration Point of

  by clicking on the Clip and then clicking on Edit > Edit Selected/symbol/In_Place. But when I try that it's really hard to get where I want it to be...

  What I want is the upper-left corner of the symbol for the registration Point, which is the top-left corner is "0,0"

  Anyway I can do without having to "Hands-free" move image to the Point of alignment... ?

  Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

  You can always create another movieclip that you (select the mc and choose create MovieClip) and when you specify the upper left corner to be the alignment point.

• Question about scrolling and Movie Clips loaded library

  I hope I am posting this in the right forum.

  OK, I am using actionscript 2.0, and I'm doing a picture scroll Gallery. I have a clip with three layers. the first contains a clip used as a scroll bar. The second is a mask used to hide the contents of overflow, and the third contains thumbnails of clip from movie. When I click on one of the thumbnails, it loads a symbol containing a larger version of the image above the thumbnails on the same layer. My problem is the large image is added to the top of the clip, even when it scrolls out of view. I want it to appear on the horizon, so that the user doesn't have to scroll all the way up to the top to see. It's annoying and confusing. Is there a way to do this?

  Here's the code I used to create the effect of scrolling (there is actually a whole lot more code but it is very long, so I'm not there add it now.) I'll do it if I must)

  (Oh, and there is no text involved in this.) I just got this code on a tutorial and I have not changed the variable names yet)

  var scrollUpper:Number = 58;
  var scrollLower:Number = 309;

  var textLower:Number = 60;
  var textUpper:Number = - 179;

  var scrollRange:Number = scrollLower - scrollUpper;
  var textRange:Number = textLower - textUpper;
  var startY: Number = imagesHolder_mc.thumbs_mc._y;

  //
  function scroll() {}
  var moved: number = imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc._y - scrollUpper;
  var pctMoved:Number = moved/scrollRange;
  var textMove:Number = pctMoved * textRange;
  imagesHolder_mc.thumbs_mc._y = textLower - Gauchedeplacez;
  
  }

  imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc.onPress = function() {}
  this.startDrag (false, this._x, scrollUpper, this._x, scrollLower);
  this.onMouseMove = scroll;
  }

  imagesHolder_mc.scroller_mc.onRelease = scroller_mc.onReleaseOutside = function() {}
  this.stopDrag ();
  this.onMouseMove = null}

  What you have explained, it seems to say anything that scrolls to adjust its position so that the top is in the display area after adding a new symbol.  I don't see where it would be your scroll controls, the position of which scrolls.

  I'm a little curious.  You seem to be saying that as new images are selected, they are added to everything that has already been selected, so the reason for scrolling to see things.  Why don't you just show the selected image and remove everything above it so that there is no need to scroll?

• Animation inside the movie clip symbols in the part "header" of the web site

  Question: should I do a header animation of the website. seconds, it happens and is stopped with action script command stop(); but I need an elenment inside the flash header continue to animate like here: http://ves-lab.ru/ a scalable logo in the upper left corner of the header. If somewhere the answer has already been written - someone write a link to this source. Thank you.

• Video (.) Export AVI), symbols of 'Movie clip' does not animate

  In a Flash project, I have a "clip" - symbol of the type which is an insect moth, animated while flapping his wings. On the main stage, this Butterfly clip is animated to move along a path.
  
  It animates correctly in SWF, but when exporting to video (.) Video clips (AVI), only display the first image. For example, the butterfly moves along the way on the stage, but its wings do not beat.
  
  How can I get the movie clip symbols to animate during video export?

• Movie Clip (with script) of nesting in button

  I'm pretty new to Flash, I have the basics but struggle when it comes to tasks more complex requiring a code etc. My problem seems simple in theory but in practice it's a different story; for me anyway.

  First stop, I create an online gallery. It is made against several thumbnail images of the art of the pieces which, when clicked, show the image in a larger format. I reached this goal in duplicating the chassis 12 times (how many images it is on the page) and linking each miniature to its corresponding image that runs through frames 1-12.

  I had this working perfectly, except for my animation of miniature mouseover who did very well when the mouse is in the affected area, but once outside the animation just broken back. This was done simply by nesting a movie clip symbol in the State over the button (that does not need any code).

  However, once I searched the internet for ways allow the animation to return to his State not active with an animation of back once the mouse is over the affected area, I hit a new problem entirely. Of course, this effect required some basic coding and was not pressing the button a on the State to activate the animation. This means that when I tried to embed the new animation in the zone reached the animation button was on the button, its ability to disable link area.

  I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get the animation that will be triggered when the user hovers over the button and allow the button to link to its framework.

  I know this is a long post and thank you for reading. If you don't know what anyone that I said, please ask. I'll also give you a link to the tutorial I used as a base for my animation to be nested within the button. (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx20...ton_effect.htm)

  Thanks again.

  If 'frame2' is your label and not "frame2_Page 1", you must use:

  Stop();

  this.onEnterFrame = function() {}

  if(Rewind == true) {}

  prevFrame();

  }

  }

  this.onRollOver = function() {}

  return = false;

  Play();

  }

  this.onRollOut = function() {}

  Rewind = true;

  }

  blakeheaps.onRelease = function() {}

  _root.gotoAndPlay ("frame2");

• How do they affect times a clip and the clip from movie of child in the same function?

  I have really two questions: how both affect a clip and the clip from movie of child in the same function? and how to get information of a component in one service for another?

  My basic setup is a clip of choice of fonts, one on each image: "bodyText_mc." Each of these frameworks has a clip of the child 'bodyText_mc.bodyText' with choice of alignment for the police. For example, the user chooses 'Script' in the first ComboBox, then selects "Align right" in the second. (This text is static, because I need more great design control I can get with dynamic text.)

  First of all, I have a combobox "cbBodyFont" that I use to go from one image to the image on movieclip 'bodyText_mc.' It works fine:

  cbBodyFont.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, changeBodyFont);

  function changeBodyFont(e:Event):void {}

  var bodyFontFrame:String = cbBodyFont.selectedItem.data;

  bodyText_mc.gotoAndStop (bodyFontFrame);

  }

  However, if I also want to assign a child element of "bodyText_mc", like this:

  cbBodyFont.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, changeBodyFont);

  function changeBodyFont(e:Event):void {}

  var bodyFontFrame:String = cbBodyFont.selectedItem.data;

  bodyText_mc.gotoAndStop (bodyFontFrame);

  bodyText_mc.bodyText.gotoAndStop (2);

  }

  It won't let me. Add a command to the clip of the child 'bodyText_mc.bodyText' runs to a null object reference error. I can affect the parent element or the child element, but not both. Why?

  And part 2 of my question:

  I have an another combobox "alignBodyCb" that I use to go from one image to the image in this child clip "bodyText_mc.bodyText". The user selects Center, left, or right alignment.

  alignBodyCb.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, changeBodyAlign);

  function changeBodyAlign (e: Event): void {}

  var elementAlignBodyFrame:String = alignBodyCb.selectedItem.data;

  bodyText_mc.bodyText.gotoAndStop (elementAlignBodyFrame);

  }

  The problem is that when the user switches to a new image of "bodyText_mc" with the changeBodyFont function, always, it goes to frame 1 of the child clip "bodyText", change the font, but back to the alignment of the centre. I need the font combobox to "remember" the active data from the drop-down list alignment, can still send the clip of the child to that frame. What I want is something like this (although it obviously does not):

  cbBodyFont.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, changeBodyFont);

  function changeBodyFont(e:Event):void {}

  var bodyFontFrame:String = cbBodyFont.selectedItem.data;

  bodyText_mc.gotoAndStop (bodyFontFrame);

  bodyText_mc.bodyText.gotoAndStop (elementAlignBodyFrame); <--(l'image sélectionnée par fonction d'autres combobox)

  }

  alias "go to the frame (do) that they just took and then send the clip of the child to the frame (alignment) they chose earlier."

  Help? If I'm going about this wrong in the first place, I am open to that, too.

  SWF file attached for Visual reference. (Not everything works yet, but the Type of body section is where I concentrate for the moment).

  Just to avoid any confusion in the timeline (not yours, Flash), I recommend alternating the movieclips bodyText of one layer to another with empty frames between those on the same layer.  Funny things can happen when you have adjacent keyframes of the things, and giving them the same name may be composed the strangeness is at stake.

  If kGlad wants to take action to tackle the rendering event thing, it's OK, but whatever it is, I don't think that it is involved in what I mean.

  All I'm saying is that when you go to a particular frame in the bodyText_mc, you must run this second line of code here and not back where you had it.  If you want to move the command for the bodyText movieclip go to a frame inside the bodyText_mc on the frame where it lands in your first line of code.

• I foolishly used my camcorder to the outside and the clips are too bright. How can I change the contrast on each of them in Movie Maker?

  I foolishly used my camcorder to the outside and the clips are too bright.  How can I change the contrast on each of them in Movie Maker?

  Use the effects... Decrease brightness / contrast down.

  Here are the steps to change all the clips on the timeline in a batch.

  Drag all the clips on the timeline... switch to... See the table of Storyboard.

  Reach... Edition / select all, or select an element and type... CTRL + A...

  Make a right click the effect you want to add and choose... Add to storyboard table.

  You can add up to 6 cases of an effect, but you need to left click
  a clip and "select all"... or type... Time of .ach Ctrl + A...

  It may take a little practice to master this, but it's easy once you see
  what he can do.

  Hi ATR (in addition to the answer);

  Success!

• Using CS4 Flach and action script 2.0 how to move a specific frame in the main timeline when a movie clip instance come at the end of his chronology?

  Using CS4 Flach and action script 2.0 how to move a specific frame in the main timeline when a movie clip instance come at the end of his chronology?

  code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:

  _root.gotoAndStop ('whatever_frame');  will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf.  in this case, you must use a relative path to the main timeline (for example, _parent or _parent._parent etc.).
