I am trying to make sprite sheets for rotation of DisplayObjects, and it seems that the gotoAndStop() calls are not working.Here's an example of what's going on:
function createRotationalSpriteSheet ( displayObject : DisplayObject )

When setting up a Stage3D's Context3D for rendering, is it expensive / bad practice to switch between Program3D's in an Event.ENTER_FRAME cycle?I don't have an example at hand, but I'm curious to know if there's such situations where this alternation between programs would be used and if the frame-rate would suffer considerably.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do a simple url requestion on enter frame, but it seems to be executing multiple times?
I tried removing the event handler on handleLoadSuccessful, that seems to stop it firing infinitely, but its still executing about 10 times before it stops. How do I make it only fire once?
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoadHandler);
function onLoadHandler(event:Event) {

I have a movie clip on the stage and have given it the instance name "team1". inside this movie clip there are two states. at frame1 it says one thing, then at frame 10 has an image. team1 stops at frame 1 and what i want to do is when the main time line reaches say frame 50, i want the team1 movie clip to gotoAndStop at frame 10, thus showing the image and not the text. i tried doing it by putting this on the main timeline at frame 50: team1.gotoAndStop("team");

In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I have tested with frame number it works, it doesn't with label name. Is it possible ? In main.as:

Lets say I am working on some basic shooting game that involves lots of moving enemies. The enemies all come from one class that extends movieclip.
I want the enemies to move 10px downwards every frame. At the moment I know of two ways of doing this:
The first is to run a single onEnterFrame function on the main timeline, this function loops through all of the enemies on the screen calling a function in the enemy class that contains "x+=10".
The second is to put the onEnterFrame function inside the constructor function of the enemy class that would then contain the "x+=10".
Both give the same result but is one less work for the computer than the other? The first has a big loop that accesses all of the enemies, the second has an "onEnterFrame" running for each of the enemies.
explain why the lines drawn between the circles in the code below are not aligned with the centre of the circles? It seems the x and y properties of the circles are not up to date with their actual positions but how can this be?

import fl.transitions.easing.*;

is there an action script code that enables the timeline to automatically enter a frame label on entering a certain frame.

View 3 RepliesAre there any known issues (and workarounds) involving multiple calls toExternalInterface.call in ActionScript 2.0?I have 3 functions, each of which calls an external JavaScript function. These 3 functions run nearly back-to-back-to-back. The first time I load the page containing my Flash movie in a browser, I see the effects of all 3 JavaScript functions, as expected. However, once I begin reloading the page a few times, I begin to randomly see the effects of only 1, 2, or 3 of the JavaScript functions. Clearing the browser cache seems to "reset" this cycle, guaranteeing all 3 calls to work again successfully.

Thats the schematic of my the specific area of my program thats causing me trouble. In output i get "C Called" only. I'm guessing that on the return of the super() call to A() then it jumps back to C(), but id expect that the call stack could handle multiple super calls.
I have some code that calls multiple functions for a single movie clip during a single event. For example:
portfolioButton.onPress = function()
{
redClip.easeX(180, speed);
redClip.easeHeight(194, speed);
}
The problem is only the first function call works (redClip.easeX(180, speed)). Is there a way for both function calls to execute?
I'm on Flash Builder 4.5 and I'm using remote object with amfphp and when I call two method (method1 and method2) at the same time the response of method2 always arrives after method1's response even though method2 is much more faster to return the result.re's the scenario:I set a remote object which refers to a remote php class "Newletter" which contains the sendNewsletter and getProgress methods.Here's the code:-sendNewsletter() reads the email archive and send the newsletter. After each email has sent it writes a log into the database.-getProgress() reads the log wrote by sendNewsletter, counts how many email have been sent, compares it with the total number of the email that have to be sent and return the progress percentageFrom the flex interface the users select a Newsletter to be sent and click on a "send" button which calls a function that calls the sendNewsletter() and then instantiate a loop of calls to getProgress (as you can see when getProgress returns something it calls the setProgress which updates a progress bar and calls getProgress again until the progress percentage reach 100%.
So right after I call sendNewsletter() I call getProgress() on the same remoteClass().sendNewsletter() can take several minutes to complete (in my tests for sending 4 email it takes about 4 seconds so I think that sending thousands of email will take much more!!) and the trouble I'm encountering here is that getProgress() result arrives only after sendNewsletter() concludes its execution while what I would like to achieve is:
I'm developing a Flex application and am having some trouble working with asynchronous calls. This is what I would like to be able do:
[Bindable] var fooTypes : ArrayCollection();
for each (var fooType : FooType in getFooTypes()) {
fooType.fooCount = getFooCountForType(fooType);[code]....
The issue I'm running into is that both getFooTypes and getFooCountForType are asynchronous calls to a web service. I understand how to populate fooTypes by setting a Responder and using ResultEvent, but how can I call another service using the result?
I have a web service written in ColdFusion. In this web service, there are two functions; one is to return all the questions in a quiz and the other one is to return all the answer selections to the questions in a quiz.
[Bindable]
private var questionArray:ArrayCollection;
private var cfquiz:RemoteObject;
[code]....
I have the codes above. loadQuestions is called at creationComplete to retrieve the questions. Things are working fine. What I want to do is to call another function within the same web service, returnAnswers, to return the answer options for a question. Since I have cfquiz associated to the web service already, I was using cfquiz to call returnAnswers. However, there is an event listener associated to cfquiz already, resultHandler is being called when returnAnswers comes back with the results.is it possible to check which function returns the results within resultHandler? If so, how? And second, what is the best way to handle calls to multiple functions within the same web service?
I'm trying to call AMFPHP two times on a single ActionScript method and what happen is that only the first call succeed. The second one doesn't return an error, doesn't alertsanything, it is more likely that it doesn't even happens and I'm not sure why.Here is an example:
public function editSomething():void{
if(dgChild.selectedIndex == -1){
Alert.show("You need to select a register in order to edit it.");

I want to make the player execute the code in the same frame. If I do a gotoAndStop to the same frame number, nothing happens because AS3 assumes since that you're already there, so nothing happens.

I have an AS2 flash movie that has some labeled frames. On the first frame of a particular scene, I have some code that creates a menu of buttons that I construct from movie clips and vector graphics. The onRelease function of those buttons is assigned deep in some code thusly:
code: buttonMC.onRelease = function() {
trace('release, going to ' + this.sceneName);
gotoAndStop(this.sceneName);
};
When one of these buttons is clicked, the scene name reports correctly, but the movie goes to a frame 3 frames later than the targeted frame. I know this because I put trace actions on the subsequent frames like this: code: trace('2 after');
I've got some code and I'm using gotoAndStop but am in need of something to play to the frame instead of just jumping.
Code:
var beginX:Number;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, handleMouseDown);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, handleMouseUp);

View 2 RepliesI am having a problem with the gotoAndStop function in my CS3 flash application. I have 3 frame on my timeline (keyframes). I click on a button of the first frame and pass to the frame 2 by having a listener on the button doing : gotoAndStop(2,"Scene 1"). Frame 1 and Frame 2 contains both a different Datagrid (as a MovieClip)
I have a problem appearing here. The datagrid from frame1 is still displayed under (kind of background) the datagrid from frame2. They are kind of superposed. The datagrid is the only element from frame 1 having this behavior. The buttons and text area are not displayed, following the normal behavior. Here is the part of my code doing that :

Only when I click the button that links back to frame 1 does frame 9 load.

(I'll try to make this short) The banner has a 5sec pause and then it proceeds to the next frame. It also has 6 buttons that will direct the user to a specific banner that he/she wants to click. He wants the banner to stop and stay on a specific frame and not proceed further. I have achieved that, but here's the problem.

I'm having an issue with some pictures and a gotoAndStop on frame one command. I have pictures on my website that appear when clicked on, and I've placed a simple close button in the top left corner of the picture that simply tells flash to go back to frame 1 (gotoAndStop(1)). However, it seems that in Internet Explorer (not in FF) when the close button is clicked it goes back to frame one but it leaves part of picture still displayed although it seems to dissapear in segments when rolled over with the mouse. Here is the website where this is occurring: [URL]. Btw, I'm using the flash eff component, but the problem seemed to still occur after i removed all flash eff instances.
