Description
Read below for any common mistakes.I'm disabling comments, because I don't have the time any more to go through each question and comment I get sent to me on here. Chances are, by the time I answer any questions, the problems are already probably fixed.
And as I promised in the tutorial... Here's the Action script crap to copy and paste in:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
Mouse.show();
}
on(rollOut)
{
Mouse.show();
}
on(releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun!
The program used was Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Having a lot of people asking what Flash was. xD
If you want to download that specific version, all you have to do is google "Macromedia Flash MX 2004 trial". Simple as that.
*It seems some people are having issues with the coding, mostly people with the more recent Flash programs. So if you're having problems with getting the scripting to work, and you have one of the latest programs, chances are the script I posted up here ain't gonna work.
I suggest asking on Newgrounds.com's forum for any extra help with that.
BUT this might work for ya instead:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
}
on(releaseOutside) {
stopDrag();
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, for gods sake, please make sure you paste the code on the actual object, rather than the actual layer, or it just wont work. Too many people have asked me why nothing will move, only to find that they had pasted the code on the layer instead of the object.
AND for people with the new version of Flash, this may help with the code problem, but I know nothing of it:
Quoted from ohyoshimi.
"you should note that this is actionscript 2.0, and if people are using cs3 to make sure they create an actionscript 2.0 file, because in 3.0 it will not work."

I have flash MX 2004 and the script isn't working for me. I'm 100% clear that I've selected the picture when I added the code, but it's not working!! ;A; it's a movie clip, selected, and all that except for working...
how do you test it though? Click on control --> test movie?

TricksyPixel In reply to Tikurrui [2008-02-03 10:03:25 +0000 UTC]
You go "File> Publish Preview> Flash" if you want to test it out.
I'm not really sure why the code wont work for you as long as you did select the images, rather than the layers.
Maybe you copied an extra letter in or something?

ok...i know it has nothing to do with the tut. but could you tell me how to let < B > (without spaces) stop or other ones too... cause you did it in your authors note but i'm still struggling to get to know it and i don't know it...

TricksyPixel In reply to jinmuto1377 [2008-02-01 05:16:47 +0000 UTC]
Are you talking about making writing bold here on DA?
First you have the < b > then at the end of what you want bold you write < / b > (no spaces).

Yeah... I forget where I found one when I first wanted to learn. xD I think it was from Google, some site called Flash Kit. It was a bit budget... lol

thanks this really helps, i always wanted to make a doll dress up im gonna work as hard as i can!
...
what would you say is the average time it takes to make one? -__-U

TricksyPixel In reply to dacoolcat [2008-02-01 05:21:47 +0000 UTC]
Honestly... I'm not sure. lol A small-ish one would probably take me an hour. One with lots of clothes would take me a couple of hours. Just depends how many clothes you want to add to it. And how much detail you want it coloured/shaded in.
It takes longer doing the drawings and stuff, than the actual coding. x)

i want to ask one question: what version of flash do you have, how much is it, and where'd you get it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TricksyPixel In reply to AngryAtlantean [2008-02-01 05:24:06 +0000 UTC]
It's Macromedia Flash MX 2004. I borrowed it from a friend years ago.
You could probably find that same version from ebay if you wanted to buy it. But I don't think they sell it officially any more.
Check out Adobe's website for their latest version (Adobe bought out Macromedia the other year). Though I think some people have had problems with the codes I've given on this tutorial with the latest versions.

Yyyyeah, I've had a few people trying to use the latest version with these codes... Some said they fixed the problem, but I'm not sure exactly how.

Look up "Macromedia Flash MX 2004 trial" on Google and you should be able to find a download site for it.
Or there's the latest versions of Flash from Adobe.com, you can download a trial, or buy it. Though the codes I used in this tutorial apparently have issues with the latest versions of Flash.

This has been such a help c: thanks!
But now that I've finished, and have clicked on 'test movie', when I try to drag clothes, it wont work D:
I'm using Flash MX and I've followed everything, but the dragging isn't working for me.. could you help? I'm guessing I must have missed something, but I'm not sure what.

TricksyPixel In reply to Auroaronkitten [2008-01-13 21:21:02 +0000 UTC]
Ummm... Maybe you put the code on the actual layer rather than the object itself?
Make sure you just select the clothing you want to move, then put the code in the action script box. ^^

TricksyPixel In reply to megaabyte [2008-02-01 09:46:54 +0000 UTC]
Ahh.. It's probably because you're using one of the newer versions of Flash. Some people had problems with the coding with the new CS versions.
I was using Macromedia Flash MX 2004 with this tute.

Nah, DA makes you upload the .swf file. It's just the file you constantly save your work as while you're making it. You don't actually have to publish anything for that.
