Flash Sports Balls

Basically it’s one MovieClip that you’d copy and paste into your main Flash file – the MovieClip contains all 3 different sports balls (no backgrounds). Then you’d call a function to create a new ball. I guess you could delete the tennis ball and soccer ball from the MovieClip and Library if you won’t be using them in order to save on filesize.

Try inserting this after line 169 (Actions layer, frame 2 of the ‘sports_balls_mc’ MovieClip):

this.xSpeed_num = Math.random() * 40 - 40;
this.ySpeed_num = (-1) * (Math.random() * 100) - 100;

Hi – there’s an issue where in CS3 the sounds work fine but it CS4 they don’t. aamenabar figured out a solution:

Checking the ‘Export in first frame’ checkbox [double-click each sound from the Library window] will get the sounds playing in CS4 . It does work, but as you say it’s not optimal. Somehow in CS4 sounds don’t get exported.

OH! I figured it out. In CS4 when you select the frame where the sound are. In the properties panel, in the “sync” property it says “stop”, if you change it to “event”, it works fine. Now you don’t need to load sounds on first frame.

So you’d need to double-click on each ball and edit the sound that’s in the Audio layer on the last frame – change each sound’s Sync from ‘Stop’ to ‘Event’ in the Properties panel.
