Ah... thanks for the reply. So there is no mouseStillDown property of something I can check against, eh? Willy

I want to do something like this: I have one object on the stage I want to move around, and I have four arrows on the screen to control it (and no, I can't use the keyboard for this one) to go up, down, left and right. Right now I have it so that you have to keep clicking one button to, say...

Hi all, Is there a way to keep executing some script while a mouse button is held down on top of a button? If you put in a on (press) event it will only do it once, but I want whatever is in the on (press) action of the button to keep executing while I have the mouse button still down...

Hi, No, I can't stop mc_1... that's the whole point... there is an animation playing (for example, a character), and I want to be able to change the frame of movie clips for the head, body, etc. The character movie clip (mc_1) itself have some animation of the head, body, etc in its timeline...

Hi all, I have multiple movie clips ("mc_1" to "mc_10" for example) on the main stage that each contains multiple movie clips inside ("mcinside_1" to "mcinside_10" for example). Now, I want all of mcinside_1 to mcinside_10 to go to a particular frame (as...

Hi, I'm trying to do a scaling motion tween on a graphics symbol that contains a dynamic text field in it. It will do translation tweening ok, but it will not do scaling or rotation. Everything is fine if the text field is NOT dynamic but a static text. Is there a way to do it on a dynamic...

Hi all, Can someone tell me if it is possible to swap a sprite on stage with another item from the library? What I want to do is, depending on the action of the user, it will display different movie clips. And I can't just hard code in a long movie clip to do this because there will be around...

Hi, Thanks for your time. I have been using a method more or less the same as yours, but I have buttons and other interactive stuffs on the stage, so making two copies of the thing on the stage would make it difficult to synchronize the events in them. But I guess there is no other way of...

Hi all, I'm using Flash 5 and I'm wondering if there's a way to create a magnifying glass effect NOT on a bitmap but on the actual stage content? So, you will move a magnifying glass thing around the stage, and say a "window" on a corner of the stage will show a zoomed in version of...

Hi, Is there a way to integrate Macromedia Director files into Flash? I know you can do it the other way around (putting an SWF file into Director). If it's not directly supported, then is there a way to load up an HTML page within Flash that has a DCR file in it, and the browser will handle...

Hi all, I am developing this Flash file that has multiple scenes (most of the scenes are quite long), and I have a "home page" that has buttons to go to each of the different scenes. Now, assume Scene 1 is the home page, and Scene 2, etc are the other scenes. When I load up the home...

Hi, Can someone just give me a straight answer to this? It doesn't matter whether it's going to change my life or anything, I just really want to know! Thanks! Willy

Hi, I do need to know which one is more processor intensive though, just because I want to determine which effect to use based on it. Thanks! Willy

Hi all, Just wondering, which of the following is more CPU intensive (if they are the same size and shape)? 1) Gradient animation using shape tweening 2) Brightness and Alpha animation using motion tweening Thanks! Willy

Hi all, I have been trying to do some shape tweening, and it's very hard to get the results right. If I just want to morph between two very different objects, then the result is fine (and it looks quite cool). But if I want to shape tween between two similar objects, the result can be very...

Thanks for your help! I didn't know you can do a "..\targetname" to get up a level from the movie clip to get the target name, since it didn't show up when I browse for the targe I assume it cannot access anything outside. I guess I still have lots of things to learn about Flash...

Hi, Thanks for your time! I have one additional question. From what you have said, I figured out a way to have the button following the actual moving thing now. But the only reason I did it the other way myself (embedding the movie clip in a button symbol) is because I need to use it to call...

Hi all, I am trying to do this: I have a movie clip symbol, and I put this movie clip symbol inside all the state of a button symbol. Now, the mouse events will only be triggered if the mouse event happens within the bounds of the object in the first frame of the movie clip symbol. In...

Hi, I have this problem with creating motion tween in Flash 5. It works fine when I first create it, but if I modify the end keyframe of the tween, then scaling doesn't work in the tween anymore! Everything else in the tween still works, but scaling doesn't. I have tried to take the motion...
