I just had a couple glassed of wine, nuf said.

simple set up of video

// hook up a flv in the same folder
flvMyVideo.source = "myVideo.flv";

// skin need to be in same folder
flvMyVideo.skin = "SkinUnderAll.swf";
//set skin color (rmember to replace # with 0 x
flvMyVideo.skinBackgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
//set bg alpha
flvMyVideo.skinBackgroundAlpha = 0.5;

flvMyVideo.autoPlay = false;

how to set up a sound

// set up a url request and link it to a sound
var musicURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xxx.mp3");
var sndMusic:Sound = new Sound(musicURL);
var channel1:SoundChannel;

// event handlers starts with a function, this one is to check that the sound load correct
function errorMsg(evt:IOErrorEvent):void{
trace("the sound could not be loaded");
}
sndMusic.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorMsg);
function soundLoaded(evt:Event):void{
trace("music is loaded");
channel1 = sndMusic.play();
}
sndMusic.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);

simple image site based on arrays

ok code is quite stripped down so some pieces missing. But it's easy to understand how to put it together.

var aPhotos:Array = new Array(mPhoto0,mPhoto1,mPhoto2);
var aThumbs:Array = new Array(mThumb0,mThumb1,mThumb2);

function thumbClick(evt:Event):void {
trace(evt.target.name);
clearPhotos();
var count:Number = aThumbs.length;
var index:Index:
for(var i:Number = 0;iif (evt.target.name == aThumbs[i].name){
index = i;
}
}
aPhotos[index].visible = true;
}

function clearPhotos():Void{
mPhoto0.visible = false;
mPhoto1.visible = false;
mPhoto2.visible = false;
}
for (var i:Number = 0;iaThumbs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
aThumbs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
aThumbs[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, thumbClick);
aThumbs[i].mouseChildren = false;
}

AS3 simple visible control

mClip.visible = false;

AS3 How to use one function for several buttons

function btnOver(evt:Event):void{
trace(evt.target.name);
evt.target.gotoAndPlay("rollOver");
}
mClip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
mClip2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);
mClip3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,btnOver);

Making a basic button in AS3

It don't get much more basic than this but it's quite a big difference making a button in AS3 then in AS2.

function clickButton(evt:Event):void{
trace("the mClip button is pressed");
}
mClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickButton);
