did you label your designated bounding box frame with the label #b ?

well, if your HTML was perfectly-formed XML then you could use the built-in XML parser. However, HTML rarely is. It's fairly easy to build a token parser for HTML, but I'm guessing that you don't want to go that route. My suggestion is to use a Regular Expression parser, and use a regular...

The final value of a color in a transformed clip is determined by combining its original (author-time) color component values with the transformation percentages and offsets set through the Color object, as follows: R = originalRedValue * (redTransformPercentage/100) + redTransformOffset G =...

oops... I forgot to put the final line in the "drawexample" function: return t;

I am trying to get a drawn movie clip to rotate to match the movement of the mouse. Here's a silly example that demonstrates what I'm trying to do (without pasting my whole actionscript module): movieclip.prototype.drawexample = function(sx,sy,fx,fy){ var angle =...

Initially, I thought that scenes were a way to allow Flash to manage multiple "movies" within a single file. However, instead it looks like each Scene is simply stacked in order onto the _root timeline and then executed. There seems to be no automatic variable stack cleanup between...

Thank you wangbar, very helpful. You rock. I actually built a class called 'MovieChronos' to handle how to display a particular movieclip since I wanted to tidy up my OnEnterFrame event. It's all fairly straightforward, but it isn't work I particularly wanted or expected to do at this point...

To elaborate, my first question relates to the arranging of graphics in the timeline of a movieclip symbol. I am repeatedly creating tweened animations which are in reference to the geometry of graphics in a particular background. While these background graphics are not intended to be a part of...

i'm certain that these are really stupid questions, but i'm going to ask them anyway because i haven't been able to figure it out myself. here's the scenario: A. movie background in it's own layer B. new movie clip symbol Question 1: How can i setup the environment of the new movie clip symbol...

Put it all in a CDATA section. The format looks like: <![CDATA[blahblahblah]]> This will prevent XML from trying to parse your HTML. E.G., <xmlNode> <![CDATA[Celtic <font color=&quot;#00FF00&quot; size=&quot;+7&quot;>Rules</font> Europe!]]> </xmlNode>

I'm working on an animation where I am using arrows (an arrow-like shape with a gradient fill) to represent airflow in an engine. I can get these arrows to move along a linear path, but it gets difficult when I start to animate around corners because the condition where an arrow will bend...

Thanks all for taking the time to reply to my novice questions. This all gives me lots of ideas. A few other quick questions along the same line (although, maybe these are RTFMs...): - If I need to place some elements so that they are &quot;visually&quot; in a nice place, but may not want...

Thanks, but I've already created one component of the animation and run into a snag with how to integrate the timeline and Actionscript. For example, 1.) Animation consisting of three components which need to interface (one constrains the other by limiting its degrees of freedom), components...

Hello experts, I have an issue with an animation that I am trying to create. It is a rather complicated animation involving a number of interrelated components, and I want to make the animation as efficient as possible. Some answers to the following questions would make my life much easier...
