:P

hmm... no it wont duplicate anything

What action scrip are you using, 2 or 3 ?
And whats the error message you have on the right side of the image? Make sure to only select the button and then press F9 so you can put your code. Your selecting something that cannot have AS,

I don't get that.

its just wthat my fello Ngrounder posted a thingy called "10 annoying habit of flash artist". Read it and will get it.

you dont put the action on a state. you put it in the button it self in the main time line.
Open the action panel (F9) while your button still selected and put the code in there.

I have a button on the scene with a movie on the Down keyframe.
I want to be able to click and ON RELEASE, play the movie without having to hold the mouse button down... as of right now, you have to hold the left mouse button down in order for it to play. I have tried several websites and used some AS 2.0 and AS 3.0. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First... read some tutorial on buttons and some actionscrip. What you want to do is that when you press the button the movie will start. This is a simple thing:

//This is the action script you will put in the button:
on(release){
 Movie._root.play();   //---> Movie is the instance name of your movie clip.
}
//if you want your button to play something in the same main timeline just put this on te button:
on(release){
  gotoAndPlay(framenumber);
}

your getting confuse on the states of the button. A button has 4 states:

up,over,down,hit ------> Make sure to get some info on this states if your not sure how to use them.
The actions of the button are put by opening the action panel window. there you will put all he script for your button to work.

That will be the alpha propertie.

So i seem a lot of tutorials on google about this subject, but i really want to do this and not just copy paste the code.

How can i give the duplicated movieclips this properties... i dont know the sintax neather how to put it.
This is the code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	for (i=1; i<100; i++) {
	duplicateMovieClip("cloud", "nube"+i, i);
}

	if (_x<=-550) {
		_vel = (random(10)+10)*0.02;
		_yscale = random(90)+80;
		_xscale = _yscale;
		_y = random(30)+10;
		_x = 420;
	} else {
		_x = _x-vel;
	}
}

A problem im having with this script is that the duplicate movie action isnt working... any idea whats wrong?

And if i want to duplicate the movie how can i give the same value to all?

aah.. ok

it worked... but why? is there a big difference on this._x = vel; and Cloud._x = vel;

?

so i have this simple code:

onClipEvent(load){
      Vel = 5;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
   Vel = Vel +2;
   Cloud._x = vel;
}

The mc instance is "Cloud"... i dont know whats wrong with it. What i want to do is that "Cloud" will keep moving in the background.

var yd:Number;
var rot:Number;

function onEnterFrame () {
xd = obj._x - _xmouse;
yd = obj._y - _ymouse;
rot = Math.atan2(yd, xd);
obj._rotation = rot*180/Math.PI;
}

Put this in the Main Timeline with the object's name being "obj"

Care to explain it?

LMAO!

i think you should give more details on what exactly you want to do.. i dont get what you want

LOL elephant and squirrel over peanut...

I dont understand why, but it usualy dosnt work when I have more than one for the same instance. When I switch the the name of the instance it usually works but makes the programming sloppy.ex.
thing1.onEnterFrame(){
// things concerining thing1
}
When that doesnt work
thing2.onEnterFrame(){
// things concerning thing1
}
VERY FRUSTRATING LOL
plz help

im not that pro on flash but i think this is what you want to do:

function thing1(){
 //do stuff
};
function thing2(){
//doo stuff
};
onEnterFrame(){
if(somethign happends){
functionthing1();
}
else{
 function thing2();
}
}

Did it do the work?

Hey... can anyone tell me something that will like to see animated? anything that will help me improve in animation.. i just dont have ideas... soomething funny? or dunno

ILL ANIMATE IT!!

hmm... this is like piracy... you decompile someone works to use it.

SO this is like and animation tech in flash... didnt know that.

and that helps a lot to the animation?

Is seem cool. Only a week of work? and how you got the office? pretty awesome thing your working.

***30 is a good framerate. I know that Waterlollies and all the others are at 30. I won't go in the details but u don't animate each frame. Sometimes u double them.***

Double them? whats that?

Woops!!

forgot something...the first thing that comes to me is this:

Put this code on youre button.

on(release){
   stopallsound();
   gotoAndPlay(2);
}

post how it work

You should try to manipulate sounds with AS using stopAllSound();
