One of my favs.

I'm not so wise in regards to my hardware or OS, so this might be a silly question:

I just upgraded XP home to XP Professional, and when I look in my Device Manager I see that I have some...

Flash is great for creating and maintaining a photo album if you are willing to maintain it. You would have to build an application involving actionscript, XML, HTML and PHP, for Flash to present...

Unless you're printing something with special equipment, or for a special purpose, 300dpi is usually sufficient for almost any use. I find much more really just increases file size, and the image...

There are some really good tutorials about how to achieve great animated rollover effects in flash. The easiest way is to use the timeline in a movie clip symbol with shape tweens and easing: on a...

I believe both aspects are important, in balance. Functionality should not suffer because of artistry. I think that there is a designer in every programmer, and vice versa. The end result of any...

I started with the free tutorials at gotoandlearn.com. I even bought the Actionscript 3.0 package. Anything instructed by Craig Campbell is awesome. Also try googling ActionScript Tutorials, or...

When I design any graphics that I may wish to resize, I try to always use vectors and paths as my base design. Flash CS3 has really great tools for this, both in the UI as well as AS3. They always...

Depending on what you're scrolling and your overall desired effect, the code will be slightly different. For example a photo/slide show or a scrolling text field, or a looping graphic in a banner.

I used to struggle with this until I started paying for some images from these sites. Some sites are reasonable with their pricing, especially if I really like/need the image. Most also have...

you explained it well! I thought that 'this' would just refer to the movieclip instance calling the functon since it is inside the function. I guess that might be redundant anyway.

try the link directory at the top of this site too.

try entheosweb.com

I ususally try to put all my actionscript on its own layer. If this was the case, I would place the following code on the main timeline:


movieclipname.onRollOver = function(){
this.stop();
}

Which version of actionScript are you using? There is quite a difference between 3.0 and 2.0. Flash CS3 offers hte flexibility of both, Flash 8 is actionscript 2.0.

Thanks for all.
This is a good lesson for me to lay out my site better next time.
I will put it on different scenes.

I was making things too difficult.

Tunnel vision....

Thanks again.

Thanks, I've managed to work around most issues, I can get swfs to load over others, only as movie clips.
My problem now is how to access the timeline of the loaded movieclip, play an animation, and...

I want the swf that is loading to load over the current one, while it is still visible.
It should seem that the swf is sliding over the one already visible.

I find CSS best for continuity, easy too once you get to know the basics.

Otherwise why not try reworking the image in photoshop or illustrator or something to achieve your desired effect, and...

I am designing a website with Flash CS3, using actionscript 2.0. I am reasonably comfortable with actionscript, but not an expert.
