In ActionScript I got 5 labels named x1 -> x5. How do I assign values with a loop not creating array ?

I tried this:


for (i = 1; i %26lt; 6; i++) {


x[i].text = i;


}





Not working though.In ActionScript I got 5 labels named x1 -%26gt; x5. How do I assign values with a loop not creating array ?
Try the following


for (i = 1; i %26lt; 6; i++) {


lab=eval(';_root.x';+i);


lab.text=i;


}

What actionscript can I use to get it to stop?

First, I'm new to flash. But as I'm creating animations and movies, when I preview them, they play over and over again. Is this because it's preview mode or will it do this unless I add some actionscript or something to get it to stop? TY.What actionscript can I use to get it to stop?
click on the frame you would like your animation to stop and press F9, this will open the Actionscript panel, type on the first line the following -





stop();





This action will stop at the end of the frame.What actionscript can I use to get it to stop?
Solution:





1. Click on the 1st Frame of the Timeline of your animation and notice that it is now black in colour with a small white circle.


2. Open up the Action script editor window by pressing F9.


3. Click your mouse on the line1 and type this: stop();


4. Test your movie again this time it will play once and stop.





Hope this helps.

How can I learn actionscript 3.0? Is that the latest version for actionscript?

I google for actionscript 3.0 tutorials and they all suck. Is that I guess the newest version of ActionScript. I'm just lost and confused and want to learn actionscript sp I can build a website on Flash. Can you recommend a book or website to help? Thanks.How can I learn actionscript 3.0? Is that the latest version for actionscript?
Yes, AS 3.0 is the latest one out. If you don't mind paying for a service and learn well with videos, Lynda.com is a great place to start, whether you're learning ActionScript 3.0 from scratch or from prior knowledge of AS 2.0.





You can also continue to use AS 2.0 without any issues if you'd like to build a website. As there aren't a ton of resources out there for AS 3.0, I would suggest sticking to AS 2.0 if you have little prior knowledge of ActionScript/Flash in general. A lot of web design firms are still coding with 2.0 as well.

    How do I make an object move it's self in actionscript/flash?

    I have a graphic, converted to a symbol. I am sure there is a way to simply move the object along a vector, but I am not at all familiar with action script. If someone can point me in the direction of how to execute a function each time a frame ticks by it would help me out.How do I make an object move it's self in actionscript/flash?
    kk, on macromedia flash there are a few ways 2 do it. after u ave converted the object to a sybmol if u just want it to go in a straight line all u do is look at the timeline at right click somewhere around 30 and select insert keyframe. so on 0 put the object where u want it to start and on 30 where u want it 2 end. on 15 right click and select insert motion tween. control%26gt;play. if u want it to go somewhere else after that, go right click somewhere around 60 and select motion tween. On 60 select whee u want it to end. somewhere around 45 right click and selct insert motion tween. if u want two put in another shape moving in other directions. hide the layer u have already made (right click where it says layer one, hide layer) and right click and make a new layer (right click near layer 1, add new layer). draw shape%26gt;convert to symbol%26gt;repeat the previous steps. if u want to go even more complicated and turn one shape into another, do the same steps but make the last frame, a different shape from what u started on. at the bottom of the screen click properties. select shape tween (this will only work if u have clicked the timeline). control%26gt;play. should work. if u want to export the file click file%26gt;export%26gt;export as movie. save file, click ok. go into ur documents where it has been saved drag it onto a blank internet page and voila u wiill see it.

    With Actionscript how do you control movieclips that are created at runtime?

    So you make a bunch of movieclips with the command CreateEmptyMovieClip and a name of (';movie'; + i). How could you then change their _x position in another section of the code?With Actionscript how do you control movieclips that are created at runtime?
    This is an Example:


    ////


    i=1;


    _root.createEmptyMovieClip(';movie'; + i, i);


    trace(_root[';movie';+i]._x);


    ////





    so you can call your Movie Clip of number i





    _root[';movie';+1]





    and for use any property like _x





    _root[';movie';+1]._x

    I am 60, have 40 years experience in programming... and I still learn something new every single day!At 47 Am I too old to start ActionScript programming?
    start with working with small things. I taught myself to do some good stuff with flash. theres alot of good places to go to look gotoandlearn.com or kirup.com or how ever you spell it. Plus just looking through the index and then selecting the code and right clicking and going to help will bring up the help and show you alot about it. You can do it. Its very easy to understand.
    You would need to have quick and easy understanding of new things. Coding by itself is not easy as it only takes one thing to throw the entire program off. But i mean if you put your head to it you can do it. Go for it.
    never too old to learn new things! In all seriousness though its not like flex is complicated really in the programming spectrum so I would say just give it a go. Three hours a day is a lot to keep up over a year though

  • Can someone give me an actionscript 2.0 code that makes one movieclip follow another?

    I'm making a game in Flash and I need a code that makes the camera follow my player. I know there's a code for the above question, but I don't know it.... Make sure it's ActionScript 2.0, not JavaScript or ActionScript 3.0 or 1.0 or whatever!Can someone give me an actionscript 2.0 code that makes one movieclip follow another?
    Let's suppose your two movieclips are called mc1 and mc2:





    //On the main timeline


    onEnterFrame=function(){


    mc2._x = mc1._x


    mc2._y = mc1._y


    }





    //Alternatively, on mc1


    onClipEvent(enterFrame){


    mc2._x = _x


    mc2._y = _y


    }








    Either of these should work. This of course will make one mc have the same position as the other mc. I'm not sure if that was what you meant, or maybe it was to follow it, as in being behind it?


    Also, if you meant the camera to follow the player... then it wouldn't be a movie clip following another, but the player being static and the rest (the backround) moving, giving the illusion of a camera following the player.Can someone give me an actionscript 2.0 code that makes one movieclip follow another?

    I got my last (and current) job as a VB/database programmer-web developer at the age of 63, so you're still a young kid.





    If you're good (and one of the 10% of the people who do 90% of the work), you'll get a job if the economy doesn't crash. What can a 25 year old do that you can't?What are my change to get a job as Flash/Actionscript programmer at 48?
    Your chances would probably be pretty good, if you are an expert. You're going to have to do a lot of side projects and build up a nice portfolio of flash work to have a chance. How are you at HTML and graphics? Do you just know the basics or can you create a really nice looking design?





    As far as time, that depends on how fast you learn and your current experience levels. ActionScript is like programming, so if you have never done any programming before it's going to take a while to learn. After you learn enough and work on a few good sizes personal projects you could go to a place like Scriptlance.com or Getacoder.com and hire yourself out to people to make a little side money and gain more experience, but you want to make sure you know what you are doing before you do that.

    Adobe flash: what actionscript do I use to make a button move to next/previous image?

    I found a tutorial online to make a slideshow:http://www.layersmagazine.com/flash-slid鈥?/a>





    but the actionscript doesn't work!


    I've tried various alternatives but none of them work.





    So basically I need actionscript that will allow me to click a button multiple times, and each time it will go to the next frame of the slideshow.





    Thanks in advance for any help!Adobe flash: what actionscript do I use to make a button move to next/previous image?
    an even simpler answer than the guy above: if you have a start screen without the slide but a button to start then firstly name your first slide as slide1 (click on slide one frame and in the properties at the bottom there should be an area for the name tag of the frame) then on the button of the start screen put this code: on(release){


    gotoAndStop(';slide1';)


    }


    THEN on the button on slide 2 put the same code but change it to slide2 (also change the slide twos name tag to match[ slide2 ]) THEN keep doing that but change them to slide3 then slide4 then so on.. hope this is understandable.. ALSO if your animation slide thing starts with an image as slide1 just do the same code, well.. basically: frame 1 has a button to next slide, on the button is that code above, but on the slide1 the name tag is slide1 so the code knows where to go(which is the name tag slide1) ... OR AN EASIER WAY: frame 1 has slide1, the actionscript2 on the button is on(release){


    nextFrame();


    }


    and on the next frame should be your next slide. if you want a backward button just change it frame nextFrame() to prevFrame()








    HOPE THIS HELPED!Adobe flash: what actionscript do I use to make a button move to next/previous image?
    It's very simple.


    Select the button and enter this actionscript:





    slideshowFrame = 0; //a variable for the frame number


    on(release)


    {


    slideshowFrame += 1;


    _parent.-----YOUR MOVIE CLIP NAME---.gotoAndStop(slideshowFrame ); //YOUR MOVIE CLIP NAME = change to the name of the slide show movie clip


    }





    This should work (I think) ;)

    Is ActionScript a potential programming language?

    Hi,





    I want to be a freelancer of web design. whether designing flash web with actionscript is a good choice? any advice are welcome.Is ActionScript a potential programming language?
    Hey Tony,





    I have been programming since the early days of Actionscript 1.0, so my views are somewhat biased. However, Learning Actionscript is a smart investment in time for multiple reasons.





    1. Actionscript is slowly moving towards a Java-based scripting method that integrates multi-functionality between static and dynamic functions that simply wasn't there a few years back. The importance of this, from a web designers standpoint, is the movement of web applications towards Java. Of course, this is purely observatory, but I truly believe learning Actionscript will be dually beneficial.





    2. Eye-Candy websites simply kick ***. There's no better way to put that, so excuse the language. But flash is moving away from simple animations to more complex websites that focus on the UI aspect of web-design more than the looks. That being said, realize that UI relies heavily on your ability to code using actionscript. Using timelines and such inside of Flash is losing it's fundamentals and consistency. With actionscript, your able to time your events precisely how you want them to unfold.





    3. And finally, coding with actionscript is simply more flexible than anything out there. I have been fortunate enough to chip in as a developer for many external classes with actionscript. Papervision is by far my favorite to have helped developed. If you know the basics of Flash, but haven't heard of papervision, shoot over to their site and check them out. Essentially, these are free classes that allow you to heavily integrate 3D objects into webpages and apps. This allows you to make truly stunning websites in a much simpler way. Better yet, once you start learning how to code in Actionscript, you can customize these classes to suit your own needs.





    Either way, like I said, I have a very biased view, so I welcome those who hate Actionscript to share their complaints about it. Just remember though, if you do start learning to script with this, you will need to stay current. Actionscript is already looking at their 4th version in the near future, so staying current is the best way to keep your coding skills at their peak.





    I hope that helps, have fun with it.

    Keep studying!! It is NEVER too late to do anything!! If you want to do that, then you should. Try going through temp agencies also. Sometimes it helps if they need someone, they don't always care about experience. When you go to a job interview, don't emphasize your lack of experience, emphasize your excitment for the job, your hard work, and your ability to learn new things as they come.

    Sadly you can't develop ActionScript 3.0 in Flash 8 but you have these options (all free).





    - Adobe is giving free Flex Builder for students, you can use as3 in there to create web and desktop applications.


    - You can use Flashdevelop, it's very powerful.

    How many hours should I study C# & Actionscript?

    Don't set time limits, but instead set attainable goals. For example, you may decide that today you will learn how to read from and write to a database. Don't stop studying and coding until you've accomplished your goal... whether it take 1 hour or 10 hours. Then set a new goal for the next day. In time, you will find that you've not only mastered the language, but will most likely have achieved a skill level greater than entry level ;)How many hours should I study C# %26amp; Actionscript?
    It's hard to say how long you'll need to spend each day-- it depends on how much AS you know now and what type of programming background you have.





    If you're new to OOP and AS... I'm not sure if it's feasible to market yourself as a programmer within six months. There's so much more to OOP than learning a language... there's data structures, class inheritance and instantiation, as well as learning how to implement standard algorithms and constructs.





    Obviously the more familiar you are with object oriented programming, the easier your transition will be.





    If you're a fairly experienced programmer, then go to Lynda.com and try the ActionScript 3.0 tutorial under Flash and the ActionScript 3.0 tutorian under Flex Builder.





    I think you can be up and coding in about 20 hours.





    I also recommend investing in some good reference material- the O'Reilly books on Actionscript including Design Patterns and the AS3.0 Cookbook are pretty good. You may want to get your feet wet with a little MXML scripting, too.





    Good luck.
    You got to live it and breath it. ;)





    I would say focus 70% of your time on action script, and try to put in at least 3-4 hours a day.
    just pretend you know it....that's what most people do

    Is it possible to see actionscript code for a flash game?

    If I download a flash game can I see the code afterwards?





    Is it possible to see code like you can with webpages? ie. right click -%26gt; View Source.





    Any help would be greatly appreciated.Is it possible to see actionscript code for a flash game?
    Yes its possible to see the actionscript code, but definitely not the way you view the source of a web page.





    To view the actionscript source code, you need to reverse engineer or decompile the compiled swf file format.


    There are many tools online that you can use to do this, such as flare, a free actionscript decompiler


    http://www.nowrap.de/flare.html , which may or may not be suitable for later versions of flash.





    Commercial decompilers such as sothink swf decompiler extract images, sounds and text as well, but has only limited functions for the trial version. However you CAN try to find a crack online for these decompilers, though you run a risk of being infected by malware from malicious sites.


    http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdeco鈥?/a>Is it possible to see actionscript code for a flash game?
    No. When you play a game in flash, you are interacting with the compiled flash source file, which is normally the .swf extension.





    This is comparable to an executable file. When you compile a program in C++, you can not view the source code.





    What you want to do is reverse engineer other example games by asking yourself how to accomplish certain features of those games, based on what you already know about flash animation.





    A good site with lots of examples is http://www.kirupa.com

    Question about programming ActionScript in Flash - How do I do collision detection?

    I want to detect collision between two objects based on the image. I can use hittest for this, but I want the collision to be true when object A hits object B's image instead of object B's bounding box.





    Example: Say I have an arch. If object A goes inside the arch (not touching it), it will register as a hit, although I never acutally touched the image. How can I say that the hit is true only when object A touches the image?Question about programming ActionScript in Flash - How do I do collision detection?
    You need a method to get the pixel contents. There is a value for transparent pixels. You need to put logic in to compare the individual pixels, and flag if theres a collision between 2 non-transparent pixels. This is the only way. I'm sorry I do not have the actual function definitions available, but any good reference on flash graphics libraries should do the trick.Question about programming ActionScript in Flash - How do I do collision detection?

    function checkOverlap():Void{


    if(mcCircle.hitTest(mcSquare)){

    note. mcCircle and mc Square are two MovieClips

    Quick note without testing....





    Can you just do a hitTest with the image and what u want.





    for example object A and object B are on the root timeline- ur image is inside object B. make ur image be inside a movie clip which in turn is inside object B. then do a hit test with onjectB.image instead of just object B. Hope that makes sense.





    heres some dirty code for ya:





    box_mc.onPress = function() {


    startDrag(this);


    };


    this.onEnterFrame = function() {


    if (box_mc.hitTest(circle_mc.circle2_mc)) {


    trace(';you hit the circle';);


    }


    };





    there are 2 objects on the stage. box_mc and circle_mc, then circle2_mc (which is inside circle2_mc- where ur image would be.)





    send em a note if u have questions and please forgive any yahoo formatting to the code.

    Where can I get a program to learn ActionScript?

    I really need to learn ActionScript and haven't got the to actually buy Flash or some other program to learn it. I would like to know if there are any ways I can learn ActionScript with a free program or something of that sort.Where can I get a program to learn ActionScript?
    There are some alternative open-source and free for action-script / flash player :





    http://osflash.org/open_source_flash_pro鈥?/a>





    But the flash are proprietary format of Adobe and the best / easy way is to buy Adobe Flash :


    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flas鈥?/a>Where can I get a program to learn ActionScript?
    The Flash format is proprietary and held exclusively by Macromedia/Adobe. Although there are other programs that can export to SWF (that is an open format), the Flash authoring environment in which ActionScript is written is exclusive to Adobe. You can get the 30-day trial from their website (http://www.adobe.com/flash )

    It depends what type of field you're trying to get into. The more skills the better, but if you're working in the web design field, you could probably get by quite a ways with just AS3 knowledge, provided you work with a team that has other knowledge (ie. HTML, scripting, database, etc.)

    I wonder if it is beneficial to know Javascript before learning Actionscript?

    have difficulties to learn AS3 . The fact that JS is similar to AS3 but not as difficult, will it help me understand OOP faster? I really need to learn AS3 but I am stucked right now. Thx.I wonder if it is beneficial to know Javascript before learning Actionscript?
    I don't know about javascript being not as difficult.. it's been around way longer than actionscript, lots more time to advance.. If you want to know actionscript, learn actionscript. (it's way funner anyways :)

    In Flash does anyone know the actionscript to make a mask follow the x and y postion of the mouse?

    This is hard. i can get the mask to foll over the mouse but it only works if you hover over the mask first. I want it to follow the mouse as soon as the mouse enters the stage.In Flash does anyone know the actionscript to make a mask follow the x and y postion of the mouse?
    Try this code





    //AS3





    stage.frameRate = 30;





    var yourMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();


    yourMC.graphics.beginFill(0x000000,1);


    yourMC.graphics.drawCircle(0,0,30);


    yourMC.graphics.endFill();


    addChild(yourMC);

    For AS2 use _root._xmouse and _root._ymouse properties to set the _x and _y coordinates of your mask.





    Assuming your mask is a movie clip on the root timeline, you could use the following function to make your mask follow the mouse postion. You man need to add a variable with an offset depending on exactly what your are going for.


    function followMouse():Void {


    mask_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {


    this._x = _root._xmouse;


    this._y = _root._ymouse;


    }


    }





    Put that function on the first frame of the root timeline and then call the function from there or wherever you want the process to start. If on the root timeline use


    followMouse();





    For AS3, I believe it is now mouseX and mouseY

    How can you get input for any keyboard key in actionscript 2?

    Kind of like ';Press any key to continue';. I'm using Flash MX 2004(AS2). I'm making a sort of minigame where you have to mash buttons to advance somewhere.


    This is what I need:





    -Accepting input from any key


    -When a key is pressed, i want a bar to fill up, kind of like an experience barHow can you get input for any keyboard key in actionscript 2?

    KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() {


    //Insert movie clip


    }


    Key.addListener(KeyListener);





    Can you please elaborate on the second item? Most probably you need to use loadMovieNum() to load the bar movie clip.

    How do I do multiple collision tests in ActionScript/Flash?

    With some difficulty I can get a collision test for one object in ActionScript, but if I give another object the same name and try to collide with it, it just ignores it. Do I seriously have to put new names and redo the code for each one?





    I tried putting the code in each object that was going to be collided WITH, but I can't seem to control the moving object (ball) with something like ';ball._x + 1'; or something.How do I do multiple collision tests in ActionScript/Flash?
    AS2 or AS3 (Actionscript 2 or Acitonscript 3)?





    Objects cannot have the same instance name. They are unique. I re-read your post again and again but im not sure exactly what your trying to do.





    1. if you want all balls to collide with one object, then make each ball


    hitTest for that object





    //make a ball class and give it the object you want to test





    class Ball


    {


    var objectToHit:MovieClip;





    public function Ball(objectToHit:MovieClip)


    {


    this.objectToHit = objectToHit;


    //make ';this'; hitTest for ';objectToHit'; in AS2 or AS3


    }


    }





    2. if you want all balls to collide with each other, then create an array of balls.





    var balls:Array = new Array();


    balls.push(new Ball());


    for(var i:Number = 0; i %26lt; 10; i++)


    {


    for(var j:Number = 0; j %26lt; 10; j++)


    //make balls[i] hitTest for balls[i] in AS2 or AS3


    }

    How long will it take me to learn ActionScript?

    It really depends on your own capabilities. As a programming language, it's pretty simple (though that's my view as a programmer with experience in half a dozen languages -- if you have no programming background, you might feel differently.)





    It also depends on what instructions you've got and what tutorials. Besides the instructions which come with the program, there are a number of books which cover this. They also tend to have examples (printed, as well as on CD) for doing some basic things, and you can lift the code and adapt it to your project.





    If you can spend a week or two working through the tutorials, you should be in pretty good shape.

    What are the prospect for a Flash actionscript programmer?

    Hi, just like to ask those working out there what are the job prospect of a Flash actionscript programmer? Cause i look at the Singapore market, Flash programmers don't seemed to be valued very highly. Even with three years experience, the salary range seemed to be around $1800 for a diploma holder.





    And unlike sales, there's no visible ';ranks'; to climb except for being a junior programmer to a senior programmer. I've been working for two years now in different companies and I can't see much prospect sticking with actionscript or is there?





    Should I change to another language or switch to a new career path?What are the prospect for a Flash actionscript programmer?
    The prospects for flash programmers are very good depending on where you live in the world. I am based in the UK and experienced flash developers are always in demand. My advice to you is don't change to another language, but rather learn new ones such as OO programming, XML, XSL, XSLT, UML and J2EE. This will make you more appealing compared to the 'standard' actionscript programmer.





    It is worth considering becoming a freelance developer as the money can be very good. If you find things are really not working out for you, I would also consider relocating to Europe as there are more opportunities for flash developers compared to say, Singapore.What are the prospect for a Flash actionscript programmer?
    Knowing more programming languages can only help you as a programmer. While there are less action-script oriented jobs, they do exist.





    This is a very good resource:http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm It is updated monthly.

    Why can I not find any candidates that have ActionScript back end developement experience?

    I am an IT recruiter in Michigan, looking for a Flash Developer. Everyone we send to the client says they look good, but don't have Actionscript backend developement experience. Knowone seems to have this, is there somethiing else it could be called or some other way to look for this. I'm not technical, can anyone help explain????Why can I not find any candidates that have ActionScript back end developement experience?
    It can be difficult to find the right person for a Flash position because there are so many different aspects to Flash. To find the person that fits a client's needs you should get a very specific description of the work that the client needs done.





    Does the client need someone to develop an animation, or a user interface? Or are they looking for a coder? If they need a coder, which version of ActionScript should they be familiar with? Are they looking for someone to make small edits and implement an already-developed solution, or are they looking to have an application coded from scratch? Will the application require database communication, or XML?





    In order develop a rich application from scratch, a good ActionScript developer should be familiar with OOP concepts, classes, and frameworks. They should also know how to work with XML and be familiar with one or more scripting languages, such as PHP, .NET, or ColdFusion.





    So, to sum up, to make sure you get the right developer for the job, make sure you have a very good understanding of the job they will be filling and the expectations of the client.





    Hope that helps!Why can I not find any candidates that have ActionScript back end developement experience?
    ActionScript is ActionScript, it doesn't go by any other name... but there aren't too many *serious* developers who spend their time learning it... the problem is that it's part of Flash, which is an expensive piece of software to get for someone who doesn't get it paid by their employer.





    Perhaps the client is putting a little too much emphasis on something that, for a business, should be more of a side-issue than a highly valued requirement. If they really need a Flash Developer, make sure to mention this emphasis in the job requirements for recruits.





    Perhaps see if your company can get a group license discount with Adobe, so you can offer training for it?
    There are two ways they're going to hire:





    Find someone currently doing Flash development and hire them away.





    Hire a competent web developer and send her/him for Flash training.





    Neither one is a $40k solution, if that's the sort of thing they're looking for. Oats that have been through the horse are cheaper, but you don't get fresh oats that way.
    Well if they are hiring for a permanent job, they should also know that Flash is kinda being pushed out. It will still be around for a while, but browser developers have been irritated with expensive Adobe products and also the need to have the extra plug-in. Therefor the Canvas element was born, IE doesn't support it yet (or so I think), but once they catch up to Mozilla and Opera you will start to see less and less flash.

  • How to show a different stage in ActionScript 3?

    Hi all, just a quickie this time. I'd like to know what AS3 code I can execute in order to swap between stages in CS4. I'm assuming that a ';stage'; in Flash is similar to a ';Form'; in VB / .NET, where I could move from one form to another by throwing something like:





    form2.show


    form1.hide





    Is there a similar method that I can use in AS3 to swap between stages? ThanksHow to show a different stage in ActionScript 3?
    Not quite...





    The stage is the area that you can draw on and that can be seen by the person who is watching the movie.





    You draw on the stage, put movieclips on the stage, etc.





    What you are looking for is FRAMES.





    To compare to a VB app, lets say that your vb app has button1 on form1 and button2 on form2. To switch when they click the button, inside the button click code for button1 you would put:


    form1.hide


    form2.show





    The flash equivalent would be to have two frames on the main timeline.


    You would create an event handler for the clicking of button1. (you can look that up, I'm not explaining it because it wasn't part of your question, so I don't know if you understand event handlers or not!)





    Inside the code for it, you would put:





    MovieClip(root).gotoAndStop(2);





    hope that helps and sorry for my rushed grammar and sentence structure, I have to go out the door atm

    Flash: is a multimedia platform for all the games, animations and programs you see online that are large and fast (Java is small but slow).


    CSS: are style sheets that are used to make websites look nice, margins etc.. This can be done in html, but would leave the html code messy, and unusable by many people.


    Tables: are html code that create standard sized tables, as per the code in the website.


    Html: code for websites, it is the actual code for all the images, flash, java and style sheets. It basically refers to all of the above, as well as breaking the site into various components.


    Actionscript: is the code needed for Flash games/programs.


    Dreamweaver: is a WYSIWYG editor (what you see is what you get), for html and css. It basically shows the edits you make instantaneously, and makes creating websites rather easy.What is the difference between Flash, CSS, Tables, HTML, Actionscript, and Dreamweaver?
    flash is a picture animation software for the web. css is a diverse software for the web using higher general connections. tables is a coding within website to help you align the page correctly. html is a website for standard website, mainly used for word document coding. actionscript is self explain. dreamweaver is use for high video for website.
    Well.. I'm going through that now.. flash is like to make a web page or web page 2D animation for the web or like those hallmark cards that move..CSS are like your type and what it looks like on the web page..


    Tables.. for the layout of the web page in Dreamweaver..HTML,is type of web page and Actionscript is high end design of a web page by typing code..Dreamweaver has it all.... except flash check out lynda..com for Dreamweaver tutorials

    I want to make a movie with my Flash CS4 start when a button is clicked. What is the actionscript code??

    put a stop(); command in the same frame number where the button resides. This prevents the movie from playing all by itself.

    Python is a great one to go with. There is the PyGame package you can download (also free) that's designed for doing animations.

    If this helps the reason I am asking is because I want to learn how to make games.Are there any programs that i can use Actionscript 3.0 with that are free?
    Python is a great one to go with. There is the PyGame package you can download (also free) that's designed for doing animations. You can use it with the Eclipse IDE + PyDev plug-in (http://www.eclipse.org and http://pydev.org both are free).Are there any programs that i can use Actionscript 3.0 with that are free?
    Well for one i can tell you c++ would be the best to go with there loads of programs to make code in and as far as learning my friend it helps if you go to your local book store and find a good book and stay with it Actionscript not gonna do you anygood really with out flash and last time i checked flash costed alot and also there alot more you can do with actionsctipt then make games maybe google a lil bit later
    give a chance to haXe, which can target the flash vm:


    http://haxe.org/


    http://haxe.org/doc/start/flash





    you can use even swfmill to ';mill'; a swf


    http://swfmill.org/


    not that easy it may appear, but it is not hard anyway.





    an action script 2.0 open source compiler exists:

    but there are more; take a look at

    Is ActionScript 3 a beginner language for a newbie?

    I am 48 and planning to become an Actionscript 3/Flex programmer i n 1 year , thinking study it 4 H per day. Wonder of Actionscript 3 can be a decent beginner language? ThanksIs ActionScript 3 a beginner language for a newbie?
    Yes it would. Is ActionScript 3 a beginner language for a newbie?
    I think it's a fine language to start out with. Not because it's the easiest to learn, but because it's so practical. You get to see nice results much faster than you normally would in C++ or other lower level languages.

  • What's a simple Actionscript 2.0 code to have a link for another file?

    I have thumbnails of pictures, when you click on it, a larger image will show up in an area. I would like the person to be able to click on a link to see the ACTUAL file. How do I do this?What's a simple Actionscript 2.0 code to have a link for another file?
    It primarily depends on how you load the original and thumbnail images, and whether or not hard-coding the links is an option or not.





    If you can hard code them in, you could make an empty movie clip on the stage and call it something like ';actualImage';. Then just have a button clip for each thumbnail image, with the thumbnail inside, and add code similar to:





    on(release) {


    _root.actualImage.loadMovie(


    ';urlOfTheThumbnailFile.jpg';);


    }





    If you want the thumbnail images to be loaded in dynamically, or the links to be generated at runtime, then you'll have to do slightly more work, but it definitely is possible and relatively easy. Let me know if you need clarification. Hope that helps!What's a simple Actionscript 2.0 code to have a link for another file?
    what he said above is correct





    yet why not add a spiritual side to the file too?





    salvation to them is their own ideas...and it leaves Messiah Jesus salvation out, a gate from heaven for all to enter in.for our heart..as the Eastern Gate was where the Messiah rode through and is blocked up till the time of his bodily reapearence on earth, as predicted.


    %26gt; further prediction Zechariah 12:9%26amp;10 ';We shall see him whom we have pierced and mourn as a mother for her only lost son.';


    %26gt;


    %26gt; the key prayer in life to know the Messiah; Help me messiah, thank you that you fulfilled Jewish Scripture to give your innocent blood sacrifice for my sins, come into my heart and be my best friend, and fellowship with me and me with you, amen.';


    %26gt;


    %26gt; In scriptures he promises speaking from heaven; I love you and I ask you to repent of your sins quickly, Behold I stand at your heart's door/gate and knock to come in to be your friend, and fellowship/sup with you and you with me. (Revelation 1:1 and 3:19%26amp;20)


    %26gt; your funny but actually the bible teaches only one Messiah...some rabbi's have been known to be wrong.


    %26gt;


    %26gt; because the Messiah Jesus is my best friend and for millons of others including Jews and gentiles.


    %26gt;


    %26gt; Yet, you think Moses lied Leviticus 17:11 a blood sacrifice is required to atone/forgive sins


    %26gt;


    %26gt; Unto us a child will be born, a son given, mighty God, wonderful in counsel, the everlasting father, and the prince of peace. Isaiah 9:6


    %26gt; some versions it is Isaiah 9:5 one less on the prophetic books)


    %26gt;


    %26gt; He will be exalted but first marred more than any man, he will be rejected and lay down his life to die with the wicked and be burried with the rich, and he will die as a lamb for our sins Isaiah 52:13-53:12


    %26gt; , Isaiah lied, and whatever more..


    %26gt;


    %26gt; have you entered the gate?


    %26gt;


    %26gt; ..Hello i was just like you once, and i trusted the Jewish Scriptures and our Jewish Messiah my best friend, you have trusted Moses Isaiah and Messiah Jesus all lied. in the end who will win


    %26gt;


    %26gt; you get the Hell Daniel spoke of, in abhorance forever, I get the heaven he spoke of in Messiah's joy in Daniel 12:2...well who wins? your arguements or the experience of millions in coming to know the Messiah Jesus as our best friend.....you wanna be the judge: why not judge honestly, and stop making me everwhat so much ok?


    %26gt;


    %26gt;


    %26gt;


    %26gt; The life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it upon the altar to make atonement for your soul. Leviticus 17:11...note it doesnt say I have given you options for daily, Yom Kippur....


    %26gt;


    %26gt; and on passover each family was commanded to slay a lamb and put its blood on their doorpost through all generations...till Isaiah 53 Messiah would fulfill this


    %26gt;


    %26gt; have we entered the Jewish for gentiles too; Isaiah 42:1 He will be a light to all nations/the gentiles too.';


    %26gt; have you entered the Shaar HaKollel? the extra gate; If you have in your heart you know it.


    %26gt;


    %26gt; Scientology offers its gate and on the other side, its not being with the Messiah Jesus....its the other place...Matthew 24 Jesus teaches of called hell weeping forever with gnashing teeth for rejecting atonement/forgiveness of sins.,





    just a suggestion and it works for me, with great pictures too, David in Messiah the picture of pictures promised to us, and prayer for your best in this Actionscript put into a file link.

    If I was going to learn one of these (flash or actionscript) from scratch, which one should I learn first, which one is easier/harder? Should I learn one w/o the other ?What are the main difference between flash and actionscript?
    Flash and ActionScript are not two different things. Flash is an authoring environment for creating rich, interactive, animated web sites and applications. ActionScript is the programming language used in Flash to actually describe and create that interactivity. It is possible to do a little bit of basic Flash without ActionScript (some simple animating) but not possible to learn or use ActionScript without Flash.

    %26lt;/html%26gt;Hi 鈥? I am trying to find an actionscript for my website to alternate between two images when clicked.?
    For Actionscript 2.0 you could approach this in several ways.





    You could have a new symbol with 2 frames, frame 1 having the ';off lamp'; and a ';stop()'; line of code, the second frame with the ';on lamp';.





    Then in your buttons etc. use:





    For off to on:


    on(release)


    {


    mcLamp.gotoAndStop(2);


    }





    For on to off replace 2 with 1





    Alternatively, you could have each as a separate movie symbol and layer on top of each other, then on teh first frame of the root target the ';on'; clip,


    mcLampOn._visible = false





    then have a button that flips between them.





    on(release)


    {


    mcLampOn._visible = true


    mcLampOff._visible = false.


    }





    You could always play with _alpha (less recommended) or look up dynamically instantiating movieclips from the library, but this would explain more ancillary explanation.

    The level of scripting you need depends on the complexity of the project.As a Flex developer do you need to know a lot of Actionscript?
    As a Flex developer myself, you WILL need to learn Actionscript. Even Flex applications with a mild amount of interactivity still require Actionscript. There's no getting around it unless you're doing something very simple. Report Abuse

  • How do I create a variable in Flash Actionscript?

    I’m looking to create a game show interactive game in flash, but I don’t know how to make a graphic keep score. Unfortunately all I know is how to do in Flash is make frames loop and basic “send to” buttons. I just don’t know much code; does any one know what code I could?How do I create a variable in Flash Actionscript?
    What you may need to use is a Dynamic Text Box. Select the Text Tool and then drag out a box and then open the Properties Panel and change Static Text to Dynamic Text. Then you need to change the ';Var'; to what ever you want. Name it something that applies to the function of the text box but make sure that there are no spaces. Let's call it ';score';





    Now deselect everything and open up the Actions panel and type:


    _root.score = 0;


    You can change the number to what ever you want.





    Now, to make the score increase you use:


    _root.clicks += 1;


    You can change the + to - to make it decrease and you can also change the amount that it changes by. You will need to put this in between an event such as a mouseclick or a hitTest, it's really up to you.

    What are the major differences between Actionscript 2 and Actionscript 3?

    I learned a bit of AS2 and really dont want to re-learn AS3 but I use flash for web design and want to know if I have to learn AS3 or can I use AS2?What are the major differences between Actionscript 2 and Actionscript 3?
    AS3 is much better because it's OO ( Object Oriented ) , u can create ur own classes ( types) , reuse them and so on . AS3 has additions to the library too





    http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showt鈥?/a>What are the major differences between Actionscript 2 and Actionscript 3?
    learn as3, it's much much better. Well worth the time you spend on it. with as3 you can create much much more interesting visual effects and unlike as2 the Syntax for most operations is the same making it easier to just code things up without having to look up as2's weird ways of doing things.
    Ever so often technology changes actually simplifies. Some new features are add to every edition of flash (read up on them, may save time and add some really cool techniques). That is basically the reason why code is always adapts to technology.

    Is it better to put event-based actionscript in the individual object that it refers to or is it better to have all of your actions on the main stage? I've seen references to both methods and I can't pinpoint which is better.How do I make my ActionScript better?
    Honestly, I would say that if you want to be more organized that you should put actionscript in the actions panel in the frame. If you want it to be easier (not having to define the instance every time) I would put actionscript on the object. I use actionscript 3.0 so I can only add events to frames.

    Actionscript 2.0 would be best but if you have a 3.0 that's fine too.How do you load a movie clip object with Actionscript?
    its actually not ok to have 3.0 if your in a 2.0 project big mistake..





    step 1. go to your library and right clikc on your object.. edit it and select advance then check the export for actionscript 2.0 box





    step 2. add the code...


    something like if you want to add the clip to a previous cliip





    clip1.loadClip(';clip2';, container);


    or... (i havent tried this so it might not work)


    _root.loadClip(';clip2';, container);





    you might also want to try (depending on what your doing


    clip1.loadClip(';clip2';);


    or

    Obviously you can check when clicking a button with the on(press) or on(release) commands, but what if I wanted to check if the user is clicking anywhere at any point in the program?How do I detect a click using actionscript when clicking an empty stage?
    //ActionScript 3.0


    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent. CLICK, clickHandler);

  • How do I add embedded Youtube links in a Flash website with ActionScript 3?

    I want to add three videos on my flash site from youtube, all on the same page at once. What kind of ActionScript 3 code would I use to achieve this?How do I add embedded Youtube links in a Flash website with ActionScript 3?
    You use loadMovie(); functionHow do I add embedded Youtube links in a Flash website with ActionScript 3?
    First, you must grab link of youtube FLV VIDEO URL. NOT YOUTUBE WATCH LINK.





    here is one:





    http://v24.cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?origin=dal-v78.dal.youtube.com%26amp;video_id=qB_K66mrZi4%26amp;ip=88.226.190.23%26amp;region=3%26amp;signature=931B6A78202F72D505C4596F583D4073C63DEED2.2587B28CDD8C5C3FFD0DBA888E948673B96225F9%26amp;sver=2%26amp;expire=1229639582%26amp;key=yt4%26amp;ipbits=0





    But, youtube do not want to hotlink flv's. so as you can see above there's expire parameter, and you can't use this flv url always.





    How to grab this url?


    Just use Firefox and Video DownloadHelper add-on. Navigate to youtube.com/yourSacrificeVideo, use download helpler button to download flv, when download manager of Firefox pops up right click downloading video and click ';copy download url';.





    You can grab the url but i think you can't use it.





    If you have a stable url, you can use it with Flash's built in flv player component.
    loadMovie();

    In Actionscript 3.0 how would i make a simple ease in without using the Tween method?

    I have a simple animation in which a character moves from left to right and stops. I would like to make it ease in manually, just using calculations, opposed to using the Tween method.In Actionscript 3.0 how would i make a simple ease in without using the Tween method?
    import fl.transitions.Tween;


    import fl.transitions.easing.*;





    var moveMe:MovieClip; %26lt;-- the object you want to tween


    var aTween:Tween;





    function tweenMe(e:event) {


    aTween = new Tween(moveMe, ';x';, Regular.easeIn, 800, 200, 2, true);


    }





    try the Adobe Documentation for more help about tweens and programming them.





    tweens work like this... myTween = new Tween(instance name on the stage, 鈥渢ext string of the property to animate鈥?easing class,starting value,ending value,time in seconds,boolean to say seconds rather than milliseconds);

    How can I really start learning to use Flash CS3 and Actionscript to make a platformer?

    I don't know any actionscript and I don't know how to use flash. I do have a great idea for a game and I would love to work on making one. However, I don't know where to find a good tutorial or anything to help me out.How can I really start learning to use Flash CS3 and Actionscript to make a platformer?
    Start here: Learn about object oriented programming. This applies to flash, java, javascript, c# and languages like this. Once you begin to understand what it means to create and use objects in programming then flash will begin to make sense.How can I really start learning to use Flash CS3 and Actionscript to make a platformer?
    Hello JD,





    The first thing that you can do is to print out the PDF manual for Flash CS3. This is a large sized document of over 100 pages that comes included on the installation disc. The manual has all sort of information about the program with a tutorial and a comprehensive index to help you find anything that you need.





    Adobe also has some instruction videos available, but I think that these will only deal with CS4 now. Best of luck.

    This site has a bunch of free video tutorials from Adobe that will show you how to use Flash.

    Is it possible to learn Actionscript 3 professionally at 47 years old?

    I am 47 new to programming. What are my chances to become an intermediate Flex 3/Actionscript 3 developer at 47 and find a decent job? How long will that take? How many hours of study per day should I devote?Is it possible to learn Actionscript 3 professionally at 47 years old?
    I've learned a few languages since I was 47. (I was a programmer for years before that, but new languages come along all the time.) If you don't know programming, I'd suggest that you learn that first. (Learning a language and learning programming are totally different things - although you can fool around with a language without knowing much programming.)

    Learn it.





    Who's to say that you won't become the next great programmer?





    But, don't do it for the money. To become truly great at something, you need to do it for the thrill of doing it.





    Your age is merely a number that indicates how many times the Earth has gone around the Sun since you exited the womb. It has no other meaning.





    Don't buy into the hype of the young brain being able to learn faster. Push the boundaries. Ignore adversity.





    But, you must forge ahead no matter what difficulties you encounter. NEVER linger on one difficulty too long. Whatever textbook(s) you'll be using during the learning process, move on to the next page or chapter when you encounter a learning-plateau. When you do, the thing that you had trouble with will very likely become clearer to you as you master the next concept. Then go back and refresh yourself on the thing you had trouble with.





    Don't stagnate on one difficulty.





    I have read the following information, and it has helped me to press on with learning C++: The only way to become a great programmer is to write programs.





    Honestly, the more programs you write (and it may seem tedious, monotonous, or boring to write dinky little programs at first --- but press on despite the tedium), the more perceptive ingenious, and adroit you will become.





    Give yourself a year. Mark it on your calendar. Study at your own pace. But try to really master at least one concept a week (except for really simple concepts, those can be mastered quickly). Don't exhaust yourself, but do press yourself.





    Don't neglect nutrition, personal relationships, healthful physical activities, and sleep --- what good is a dead programmer? But such things as television, trips to Wal-Mart to look at things you can't afford, 'casual drives' around town looking for that elusive whatever-it-is that you imagine may be more entertaining than ActionScript can be jettisoned.





    If, after a full year you haven't made much headway, then consider finding a new interest.





    Good things take time and effort.

    Where should I start learning ActionScript 3 for games?

    I was learning AS 2 a year ago, and I could potentially work with code and make (or try to make) little games. Then AS 3 became more popular, and it's much more advanced than AS 2. I want to start learning it, speciffically in the are of game design, but I'm not sure where to look for tutorials.





    I'm looking for a place where I can find AS 3 game tutorials that are clear and start out simple, as if I was completely new to programming.





    Thanks a lot.Where should I start learning ActionScript 3 for games?
