Sorry to ruin the collab, but I did once ask Egoraptor for permission and he said

Though that was along time ago.

You can't prevent it, but you can check it.

Well to not show the whole menu, use

Stage.showMenu = false;

HOWEVER. This still leaves a menu popping up. To completely remove it you'll need AS3 and javascript...

Put that code on the frame, not on the movie clip.

On the first frame of your movie draw a bar. Turn it into a movie clip. Give it the instance name of "bar". Now add these actions.

stop();

var loaded:Number = 0;
bar._xscale = 0;
function onEnterFrame() {
loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()*100);
if (loaded != 100) {
bar._xscale = loaded;
} else {
bar._xscale = 100;
play();
}
}

Just wrote that in here so there's a small chance I amde a mistake.

Yup.

I'm doing the preloader anyway so I'll just add it in when everyone's finished their parts.

Just use API. Just a few lines of code!

this.createEmptyMovieClip("lazer", 1);

var startX:Number = 100;
var startY:Number = 100;
// starting point, so where the turret is (you'll need to change it. First variable is the x position, second is the y)

function onEnterFrame() {
	lazer.clear();
	lazer.lineStyle(2, 0xAA0000, 80);
	lazer.moveTo(startX, startY); 
	lazer.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
}

They'll come out eventually.

No worries, I worked out you have to use the FileRef variable, not the listener.

I have an uplaoder, and when you select the file it uploads it, like so:

listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference) {
	file.upload("upload.php");
};

However how would I make a button that does it instead? Basically I don't want it to start uploading as soon as you select the file, I want to have to press another upload button. (Like SpamTheWeb)

Any help?

Basically when a movie clip has a depth (when it's attached), it will appear on top of everything, and if you change the frame it won't disappear. So you'll have to give the gun a depth higher than the bullets:

gun.swapDepths(1); // replace 1 with the depth

Also if you change the frame the gun will still be there, so to remove it use

gun.removeMovieClip();

What?

Have you assigned a depth to the MC "lowerpants"?

Are you just going to dump your code and demand us to work out what your problem is, and then give you some code back you can copy and paste?

Do we need someone for part 7 or 8? I'll ask people now.

Em.... try drawing the objects rather than copying and pasting images?

if (2>=2) {
	trace("hmmm... it does work...");
}

Happy Birthday!

You're very lucky. I just wrote how to do this with arrays!

Try this?

if (this.hitTest(_root.go)) {
	_root.go.swapDepths(1);
	_root.go.removeMovieClip();
}

To use the removeMovieClip function the movie clip has to have a depth.

Typewriter Effect!

Also, if you use that code and don't want to write the text in the actions panel, change the first line to

text = textbox1;

Then make the text box dynamic text with the Var of textbox1 (change it for each text box).

Then give the button a higher depth (but make it a movie clip)

button.swapDepths(2);

In Actionscript 2.0, the only real option is to place borders on your flash and detect when the mouse touched them as "out of flash." The Flash Player keeps registering the last point the mouse was at inside the bounds of the flash.

OR (for AS2)

//create an invisible movie clip across the entire stage using API
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("base", 1);
var onStage:Boolean = false;
with (base) {
	lineStyle(2, 0x0000000, 0);
	beginFill(0x0000000, 0);
	lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
	lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
	lineTo(0, Stage.height);
	lineTo(0, 0);
}
//remove the hand cursor
base.useHandCursor = false;
//check whether it's on stage or not
base.onRollOut = function() {
	onStage = false;
};
base.onRollOver = function() {
	onStage = true;
};
function onEnterFrame() {
	if (onStage) {
		//code
	}
}

Well, I guess you could have a small invisible hit area. Then if the person drops it on the hit area then it snaps into some x and y co-ordinates you set. Example...

snapX = 300; //the x position when it snaps
snapY = 250; //the y position when it snaps
if (drag_mc.hitTest(hit_area)) {
	drag_mc._x = snapX;
	drag_mc._y = snapY;
}

I'll challenge someone. :D

I see the start of religion, when it was first "thought up", as being a means of control over large amounts of people. Emperors were worshiped as Gods (who would betray a God?), and many religious prophets had a large following (more power!).

Religion is an excuse. For good, but mostly bad things.

(this is just my opinion, feel free to rip it apart)

Learn Actionscript (3)

if (root.target1._currentframe == frame number) stop();

This what you're looking for?
