Look, you're making this way too complicated. Don't constantly bop the same button on and off the stage, that's just asking for the sort of trouble you're having. In fact, you don't need any button at all. Just delete your button layer entirely, then put this in the first frame: this.stop(); _root = this; // global alias to root timeline _root.mouseOver = false; _root.logoStopped = true; stage.enableMouseOver(25); // required only if no button instances used stage.on("mouseover", stageMouseOver); stage.on("mouseout", stageMouseOut); function stageMouseOver() { _root.mouseOver = true; if (_root.logoStopped) { _root.logoStopped = false; _root.gotoAndPlay("playme"); } } function stageMouseOut() { _root.mouseOver = false; } Then at the end of your loop section: if (_root.mouseOver) { this.gotoAndPlay("loopme"); } Then on the last frame: this.stop(); _root.logoStopped = true;

This right here: if (ans1.text == CorrectAnswer1[0,1,2]) No, no, noooooo. Comparisons do not work that way. Comparison operators only work between two specific values, not one value and an entire array (also the array syntax itself is invalid). You have to manually loop over the entire array and check against each element. Something like... var i:Number; var correct:Boolean = false; var txt:String = ans1.text.toLowerCase(); for (i = 0; i < CorrectAnswer1.length; i++) { if (txt == CorrectAnswer1) { correct = true; break; } } if (correct) { result1.text = "Excellent"; } else { result1.text = "Bogus"; } Note that by applying toLowerCase() to the answer string you don't have to faff about with uppercase/lowercase variations of your answers. Ah, wait, I see AS3 supports the indexOf() method on strings. In that case you can simplify things quite a bit: if (CorrectAnswer1.indexOf(ans1.text.toLowerCase()) != -1) { result1.text = "Acceptable"; } else { result1.text = "Unacceptable!"; }

I assume when all other elements are gone and only the square shows, you've opened the dev console and checked for error messages. EDIT: Also, throwing some jQuery code on the timeline will not automagically cause the jQuery library to be included. The jQuery code snippets are intended for use with jQuery components, not random movieclips. Regarding your code in the first post, I just noticed that you don't wait for the library to actually load. You kick off an asynchronous load request, then immediately try to use the library, before it possibly could have had a chance to load. Maybe setting async to true would fix things. I haven't tested this sort of thing. Or you could modify your publish template to include a jQuery script load tag.

I'd assumed from the description of your elaborate setup that you were using event handlers on a button to issue control commands to a movieclip. Are you seriously doing all that with just the button state frames and no scripting?

It sounds like you want the normal action of one or more button responses to be suppressed if they immediately follow a mouse click. In that case you'll have to build some hysteresis into your button. In your down event handler/frame/however you've jury-rigged this together, add this... this.justClicked = true; Then in your other event code add this... if (this.justClicked) { this.justClicked = false; } else { do whatever you normally do }

I'm planning to have some basic minigame functions listed below, but I am unable to find code for them anywhere. I often see these features in online Flash games, so I was wondering if there is anywhere I can get code for these features from: You're talking about stealing large chunks of code from other people's projects. What you should be doing instead is sitting down and figuring out every low-level step necessary to implement each minigame in your project. For example... - Tapping the spacebar as quickly as possible to fill up a bar (the bar will deplete over time). This is not a "feature" of Animate, it's a collection of features working in concert to create a system. For this interaction you will need to learn how to: Render a bar with a dynamic width Create a timer that fires at a specified interval and decrements the bar width Fire an event based on keyboard input Determine which key was pressed in the event handler Create logic for the bar running out Create logic for the bar filling up These are things you can ask specific questions about. Like these... if there is a way to lock the player's cursor within the boundary of a Movieclip? Oh god no. Animate absolutely cannot take control of the mouse pointer. That would be a nightmare vector for malware. Is it possible to make my objects move using the Timer function? The Timer class is AS3 only. If you're working in a Canvas project, the underlying CreateJS library provides a global Ticker, which you can attach event listeners to. You can also run code at arbitrary intervals by using setInterval.

No don't use stage. If you want to globally reference the root timeline, use exportRoot. If you drop a this.gotoAndPlay("playme"); in the same frame that assigns the event listener, as a test, does it work?

Ahh, yes, that's a thing with Flash/Animate vectors... when scaling them directly, it does NOT scale line widths. There are two ways around this-- 1. Select everything and do Modify -> Shape -> Convert Lines to Fills. This is irreversible. 2. Leave the raw artwork alone, scale the stage instance instead.

Explain what you mean by distortion. If you just select-all and group the vectors in one of your clips, then increase the scale factor in the Transform window, it should scale up perfectly. Resolution-independence is kind of the entire point of vector artwork, so you shouldn't have to redraw anything.

Oh dear lord, let's clean that up... // this code is on tie1 on (press) { if (!this.isLocked) { startDrag(this); } } on (release) { stopDrag(); // anak1 is scout1 if (this._droptarget == "/anak1") { this._x = 163.95; this._y = 401.45; var isLocked = true; var efeksound:Sound = new Sound(); efeksound.attachSound("plopp"); efeksound.start(); } else if (this._droptarget == "/anak2") { this._x = 293.95; this._y = 401.45; } else { this._x = 867.50; this._y = 408.95; } } First problem I see is var isLocked = true;. That should be this.isLocked = true;.

Should be trivial. Just set a variable on the dropped-on object to true when something is dropped on it. Then have your drop code check for that variable. If it's set, put it back.

This is theoretically possible, but would require a lot of effort. You'd have to export the frames as a PNG sequence, then use the FLfile API to read in the PNGs as binary data (might not be possible... the docs are vague on this point), then use a JavaScript port of libpng to convert that to raw pixel data, then use a JavaScript-based GIF encoder to compress the image sequence and write it out.

Somewhere in your initialization section... myHistory = []; In your navigation button handler... myHistory.push("name of the label that's being navigated to"); In your back button handler... this.gotoAndPlay(myHistory.pop());

Correction, the CreateJS API is very near to AS2, not AS3. In part because it's native JavaScript, which AS2 more closely resembles than AS3. For example JavaScript and AS2 do not have explicit variable typing, like AS3 does.

The eraser tool only works on vectors. Assuming you've imported the Photoshop image as a bitmap, you'll have to put an instance of the bitmap on the stage and then break it apart, which will turn it into a vector rectangle with a bitmap fill. The eraser tool would be the worst choice for what you're doing anyway. Using the selection tool to chop it into rectangular pieces would yield far more clean results.

I just pasted in that code, changed the stage color to something other than white, and it worked fine. Of course you do have to actually call the init() function. Otherwise it's just going to sit there like a lemon.
