ericabo123, Just use a hitest. (the code below is very incomplete so you have to finish it yourself)

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if ( ()) {

}
}

mathus the seconth, if you want you could jsut imbed the .swf file into your html like I do for my games.

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>



<body>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="x amount" height="x amount">
<param name="movie" value="">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="http://www.com/.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="x amount" height="x amount"></embed>
</object>
</body>
</html>

Just read through that and you should see the gaps.

Zoltan: why 2 ()?

mathus the seconth:you can upload by using the File Manager
plus, Zoltan you don't need to write the code yourself, in Flash, use file>publish

alright, i came back to show nOObs like myself what actionscript can really do!

(the code was so long i was afraid to post it here; please note, i did not make the code it was made by the master of NG preloaders, Denvish!)

place this code on the first frame where there is nothing. it will make a COOL NG preloader

OMG, this is too long, and it's not very clear.
A good programmer always comment his code and use readable variables
anyway, the effect is cool

I have a few questions about flash.

Im currently trying to use flash to create my comics, but Im having a few difficulties with it.

1. Is there some way I could make it so that the box is a set size and it wont change when I enlarge the page.
2. Also, is there some way to make fixed dimesions to it. Something like, making it like 350x700 and keeping it there while I draw?

Just wondering, if anyone could help, it would be most helpful. =)

Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";

function

On the _root frame, put that code. If you do not have the actionscript toolbox open, just go to windows>actions or something like that. Also, you can click on the book on the actions panel to get a meh explanation about the code. Stage.scaleMode = "noScale" basically makes it so that the swf file is unable to be resized when the html is resized. You can also change the settings while publishing it as an html. I hopes this helps. ^_^.

they are talking about actionscript, but i have an answer that is not codes, personally codes confuse me too, you're not alone sword hunter

ok make the pic, go to file, in file scroll down to PUBLISH SETTINGS
go to HTML and there is a scroll down option saying "match movie", set it to "pixels" hit OK button

now go to file, go to publish preview, and go to defult, that is what people will see

Swordhunter: _root is the main movie, when you create a new .fla file, the first and the only frame you see is the first frame of _root

ok ive been studying particle systems. flsg's and lbb's inspired me to make a fire better than both of theris combined. it just so happens that i have been playing with the attatchMovie function lately. so i made the best particle-fire iv'e ever seen.

vote for the best one.

flame ver 1(this one is one movieclip which is duplicated 50 times and given random scale properties through actionscript)

flame ver 2(first particle effect)

flame ver 2.2(only 605 bytes!!!)

Other particle stuff:

volcano

waterfall

flash mx sources:

Flame 1

flame 2

flame 2.2

volcano

waterfall

Woah! That's no fair! Your flame is made in flash 8 -You can tell because it's blurred. Also, the last time I checked, smoke gets larger when it goes up. Fire does not. Good job anyway ^_^.

P.S: I challenge you to make my photon hoop! No using anyone elses. I only looked to get inspiration.

HA! i made it in flash MX. you have to know how to use the old random(number here) function to give it random properties

also the first one is made with frame by frame not actionscript. the only actionscript is used to scale it randomly

it is blurred either because your eyesight is 20 - 40 or the semi - transparent radial fill i gave it makes it look like that.

mathus the seconth: I agree with somebody
the random() function was used in Flash 4, and Macromedia says that it could be removed in the future
imagine that you used random() 100 times, and then in Flash 9 it got removed, you'll need to spend 4 hours to change that lol

well, i do not see any reason why it should be removed because if i use

num = Math.round (Math.random * 100)

if(num < 1){
num = 1
}

i have to use more typing than just simply saying

num = random (100) + 1
