Not sure if this is the best option but thought maybe if I could use an eventlistener that would save some time. I am loading an XML file once a second and want there to be triggers if specific values are in the XML so far I have this:
[Code]...
I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to remove an eventlistener on (in this specific case) a HorizontalList. The list is initialized with the property itemRollOver="playPreview(event)" I'd like to remove this eventListener by switching state and stating something like: <mx:SetEventHandler target="{horList}" name="itemRollOver" handlerFunction="null" />
This doesn't seem to work. The event is still handled and playPreview(event:ListEvent) is still called. How to properly do this? (I know I can do it in Actionscript, but I specifically want to do it by means of state switching)
I must have done something wrong because when I try this
var a = 5.222+ 0.0002trace (a)
I get // 5.222200000000001
And then I try
var b = 2.222+ 0.0002trace (b)
I get // 2.2222
my objective is:
1.Read in a text file. e.g containing text like this, teacher/student/1/sn/2/3/4/5/9/f/tn/02/
2.pass it to a string.
3.then beable to extract different parts of the string and place them in different arrays.
The bit I dont know how to do is the extracting specific parts of the string? Is it possible to search for / and to treat what comes after it as a specific peice of information until the next / is read? Or perhaps there is a more efficient approach?
This has to be simple, if only I knew how. I'm an AS3 newbie, and am having difficulty setting up multiple specific EventListeners within a code generated display object container.
I am generating a 'page' (Sprite) with a heap of 'cards' (Sprites) on it. Each of those cards, in turn, contains a selection of text boxes and other objects generated from database output using a 'for' loop. My hope is to attach an EventListener to each 'card' so that a MouseEvent will let me manipulate the data that lead to the content of that actual card (the i-th iteration of my for loop). I've been playing with everything I can think of (limited repertoire of thoughts though) and the best I've managed is for my EventListener to access the final set of data, whichever 'card' I click on. I've summarised and attached my code for the function, how to get back to the i-set of data from the EventListener attached to the i-th card. I can handle the PHP and MySQL side of things but am fumbling my way into the OOP of AS3.
I was wondering if there's a way to rotate a movie clip around a specific x & y value? I've been looking through tutorials but they all seem to use maths to control the positioning, but I think it's probably unnecessarily complicated for what I want to do. I have a number of shapes which I want to rotate around a single point.
This is what I have so far:
Code:
triangle1_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rotateMovieClip);
function rotateMovieClip(e:Event)
{

I am wondering if it's better to pass an instance of a whole class to another class or just specific properties of that class. For example if I want the height property of class A in class B do I pass just the height value into class B or the whole instance of the class and use classA.height in class B?
View 3 RepliesHow would you randomize a specific set of values in a array? For example:
Code:
testArray[A , B , C , D , E]
I would like to Flash to only randomize value B C D.

Array of color id-s represents a 3D Array of values. I've represented each value with a color(Blue is 1, Red is 2 and Green is 3). So for the example the array for the image would be:
ActionScript Code:
var myColorArray:Array = [];
myColorArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
[code]....
Now, I have an array of predefined shapes/objects. I'd like to replace the grouped colors with the shapes that I have. I'd like this to follow the rule of finding the largest shape first and then down to the smallest one.Now let's assume that the L shape is A, the Z shape is B, the third one is C and the last one is D. Now our new Object array would look like:
ActionScript Code:
var myObjectArray:Array = [];
myObjectArray = [
[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0],

What is the best way to find a random number that is not equal to two specific values?
1) find random number (let's say from 0 to 5)
2) check if the result is not 4 or 5
3) If it is, run the random function again and again until the condition is met.
Or maybe there's a way to set up that at once (find random number that is not equal to 4 or 5).

I am building a custom shopping movie for a client. He sells wine and champagne glasses with customizable bracelets. He wants customers to first choose either a 2,4, or 6 pack of glasses, and then individually choose bracelets. My problem is I don't know enough AS to code the functions.
For instance, when a customer first orders 2 glasses, it adds them to the cart, and then sends them to a new frame of the movie, with pictures of the 4 possible bracelets and a text field below for quantity, each with a default value of 0. They can choose 2, and only 2, bracelets by adding a "1" to their desired text fields.
First off, I want nothing to happen until they add a "1" to 2 separate fields. Once they have done that, a specific 'add to cart button' needs to pop up, that will getURL the proper link to add that bracelet combo to the cart.The code, which is wrong, that I am using so far is this:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
if (AS2 + B2 + R2 + SL2 < 2)
{

How do I use the counter to trigger sprites? Need an example or idea to work from. I want the number values to load sprites. The value of the counter goes to a text field. I want each number value to have an "if" condition to play a sprite of a corresponding number.

View 14 RepliesI'd like to be able to use a pencil image (custom cursor?) to draw in a defined area - its the 'ol pencil drawing a line idea on a pad. I don't know how to define the area? I've tried creating either a btn or mc instance called pad_mc & trying rollOver/Out which confines the pen but not the line. This is what I have so far, which works (ie it draws the line) but obviously it goes everywhere, not just over the mc of the pad.
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("Line",1);
Line.lineStyle(1, 0x666666, 65);
onMouseDown = function () {
Mouse.hide();
pen_mc.startDrag(true);

Also, I've got an onClipEvent on my pen_mc to try & define where its allowed to be dragged.
it loads an external .swf file and is supposed to play it. I've added an event listener to run when the file is loaded. The function it calls moves the video to the bottom most layer so the buttons still show and then plays the file. The problem is the event listener never triggers.

I have built a basic theme for my Flex app. I would like to add support for additional predefined themes. By default, app has a theme and I would like it to change when user selects a theme from dropdown list. This can be done by loading a swf file using styleManager. However, all the skins have colors hard-coded in them. So, in order to achieve this I would have to duplicate skins and change value of the colors.
Is there a better way of doing this? Can I just have a skin that will change color values dynamically based on user selection?
I have another question for the masses out there regarding trying to input values from a text input box to a custom class. I currently have a custom class named Company with properties that correspond to values in a MySQL database.
So I created an input UI on the client application that calls out for Address, Name, Zip, Phone, etc. - Then there is a button to submit to values to the database for creation. Here's my question:
How do I take each individual textinput.text property and 'mesh' them all together to a Company object to send to the server? The PHP that is written takes in an argument like this:
public function createNewCompany (Company $item) { .......
So is that even the right way to send them in? Or???
There are a total of 11 things (properties) that need to be submitted.

This image shows the problem, the 3 is a PNG image with a nice drop shadow that expands quite far from the white square. It is a movieclip which was added by the square movieclip.This obviously changes the size of the movieclip so the ROLL_OVER will trigger whenever the mouse is over either of these objects.My question is, how would I make the movieclip "3" never trigger any sort of mouse event for its parent?
Things that do not work:
mouseEnabled = false; (why doesn't this work?? ugh)
mouseChildren = false;

View 0 RepliesI need to "tween" an object like in tweenlite, just x/y values, but have ran into a large issue.
[Code]....
it's kind of accurate at high 'refresh times', but low ones, or long tweens it's very inaccurate. Basically, it needs to move 300pixels/1000ms, I chose to move it every 10ms, the amount I move it is 3000/1000(ms/pixels)*ms=3pixels every 10ms, so we should get to 300pixels moved over in 1000ms. But it doesn't work- the time intervals aren't consistant, sometimes it moves it after 10ms, sometimes it doesn't catch it to move again for 30ms! Tweenlite is able to bypass it's loop being able to run every 10ms, but how?
