ActionScript 3.0 :: Prevent Simultaneous Execution Of Multiple Button Threads?

May 20, 2010

My AS 3 program has multiple buttons. Users can select one and then immediately select another and this causes 2 threads that collide.  Once one button is executing, I want the other buttons to ignore clicks.

The problems are twofold:  1)  the first time the 2nd button attempts to execute (by checking lock), when it returns (from checking lock) and attempts to pick up processing where it left off, it seems to forget where it was and does not utlimately complete its task(s); possibly variables have been altered, it is difficult to say.  That is, AS 3 is unable to successfully pickup where it left off on the first button. the second problem is that AS 3 incorrectly returns to button 2 after the lock condition is cleared.  It persists and will execute that button.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Events Are Not Being Disabled On Movie Clips With Multiple Threads?

Oct 18, 2009

I am able to disable mouse events on a movie clip with a single frame using the mouseEnable property and setting it to false.However if the movie clip contains multiple frames setting the property to false does not disable the mouse events.Do I need to disable for each frame of the clip? Or is this outside the box for movie clips.I have tried .enable and .mouseChildren to false also.I have alternatives to what I am trying to do so I am trying to determine if I am missing something.this is basically my code, this code will ignore events if I change the movie clip to a single frame.The multiple frame movie clip is made up of 5 frames of bitmap symbols and functions properly.

public class Main extends MovieClip {
private var contract1:MovieClip=new CONTRACT ;//multiple frame mc
public function Main() {

Actionscript 3 :: Make Multiple Videoclips Play Simultaneous?

Apr 13, 2011

I am trying to do a little multimedia player where I have at least 9 small videoclips that I would like to place and play - all controlled by AS 3.0.

It might even be more than 9 clips, but they will show randomly in 9 places. A movie can switch viewport too.

I will preload them all into buffers and I would like to play them randomly at the same time.

This means that there could be 9 equally sized areas showing small movieclips including sound and random times.

Like this:

[1][2][3]
[4][5][6]
[7][8][9]

So its 1 Flash canvas/player showing them all at the same time.

Is this possible or will it crash Flash to play 9 movies including their sound? The movies might be of different length and will have to be reset and played many times, but I cant prerender the result as its randomly generated from user input.

like in... an example code of where to start? I've been thinking that I could put all the parts into one "sprite movie" and the play from frame XYZ for each "window" - but not sure how or if it will work..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Delay Execution On Button

Apr 17, 2007

I am trying to find a way to delay code placed on a button. The code is executed when a learner presses it and makes a specific movie clip appear. At the same time, this code checks to see if the other movies have been viewed (which is required) and if so, goes to the finished keyframe. The problem with this is, the last movie clip goes too quickly because the code immediately executes sending the learner to the last "Finished" frame. I am trying to find a way to either use a setInterval or something else to delay the execution of this last bit of code allowing the learner time to view it. Here is what I have placed on each of the movieclips:

Is there a way to prevent this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Prevent User From Opening Multiple Instances On The Same Computer?

Jun 28, 2009

On the site [URL] there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?

From my analysis it is NOT:

1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.

2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.

3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.

It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?

Flash :: Task Management, Threads And Other Foes In Builder?

May 31, 2011

I'm building a simple task manager that will at this moment execute tasks in a serial manner. I have been reading about threads in flex and it seems it is not quite clear/prepared for real threads.

What I'm looking at this moment is a way to execute a method at the beginning or end of a flash builder update. This method will be the one that will take the responsibility to start tasks added in the previous update. The removing of finished tasks will be done through event notification (the task will notify it finished) then the scheduler will remove it and dispatch the message again to let the outside world know the task was over.

Flash :: Prevent Button/movieclip From Interfering With Mouse Events?

Apr 15, 2010

I have a few swf's that are loaded into a base file using levels. These clips can be cycled through by means of a setInterval function or when the user clicks the next or previous button. However, when the user hovers over a defined 'hit' area which is ultimately a blank movie clip, the setTimeout call is then canceled. This works fine, except that now the 'hit' clip - being above everything - prevents the movies below accepting hit states, and if I move it to below everything else, when one mouses over any element in the loaded movie, it then acts as though the user has mouse out of the hit area.

Is there any way to have this 'hit' clip do its job simply by determining if the mouse is over it, but without using an onRollOver function or equivalent?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Simultaneous On / Off Sound Buttons?

Apr 1, 2009

I'm an intermediate flash user and I've made a file for my kids in class that has some sound on-off buttons. they are set to play once or loop depending on length by simple mouse click. they will play simultaneously if more than one is clicked individually on the page. I'm trying to make the page so the kids can just select the sound button icon, drag as many of them as they want (usually 2 -4 sounds at a time) into a box at the bottom of the page where they will then just play and loop. if they are dragged out of the box, that sound will stop. if another is dragged into the box it's sound will then join the ones that are already looping.

Flash :: Photoshop CS4 Open Simultaneous?

Dec 17, 2009

I am running Window 7 64 bit with 6 gb of RAM, two E5520 Xeons, two 10k raptors, one 320gb HD, and a ATI FirePro V5700. Brand New machine and a Fresh install of windows.
 
Everytime Photoshop CS4 is open it will cause Flash Cs4 to Crash. I can work in Flash without any issues until Photoshop is opened. Flash will usually crash in under 5 min with Photoshop open. I have tested this over and over and it is Photoshop causing Flash to crash. Does not matter whether I am running the 32 or 64 bit version of Photoshop. I am starting to believe it is a memory issue but I am not sure or how to fix if it is.I have tested the memory and it passed all tests. This is really killing my production time.

ActionScript 3.0 :: React To Simultaneous Key Presses?

Jan 26, 2011

I am familiar with taking in keyboard input in AS3. I was wondering if there was a way to capture and process simultaneous key presses.I don't mean when a user holds down, say, the up and left arrows at the same time and an object moves diagonally. I mean when they actually press down on the keys simultaneously, like in a video game where 2 simultaneous button presses performs a new action.Currently, I have a class that reads whenever a user presses a key and assigns it to an instance variable. Then, each frame, the class pushes the key into a storage array if the current key pressed doesn't match the last key pressed. Each key is stored for 60 frames before being dumped if it isn't processed.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Drag And Drop Multiple Boxes And Snap To Multiple Locations Then Reveal Button

Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.

I was wondering would I get better performance if I only allowed to load 5 images at once then next set 5 ect ect. rather than to load 30 images at once? I can't tell because my computer is very good so I can't hardly tell. Is this common practice?
