AS3 :: Flash - Recursive Object Scan Without Repeats?
Jun 12, 2011
While recursive scans are commonly use to scan through nested objects / data. It can go on an infinite loop, if some of the objects references one another. So what is the most effective way to scan all items, without crashing the computer, nor skipping a specified parameter?
Here is an example of a recursive scanner...
/**
* Triggers the scan function for each object given
**/
function recursiveScanner( object:* , scanFunction:Function ):void {
[Code].....
The objects will trigger scans for one another in an eternal loop.
I do believe in C/C++ : Each scanFunction call, will be added into a list consisting of scanned 'memory address', thus preventing a repeat. Is this even possible in AS3? Is there a more elegent way?

I'm trying to find a way of playing a presentation with product information and movie animation (flash or HTML with embedded movie) using a barcode scan as the activator. Ie, a customer would scan 1 of around 20 products on a barcode scanner, and product info and a movie would play. Anyone have any ideas of how this can be done. I've been out of the flash world for a while, so not sure if it has the capability. If someone has the ability to put this together, there would be some $$ involved. brendan.lake@circle-square.net

I would like to be able to create a folder for the copied video frames access the individual frames frome a .flv video file and/or .swf file save these frames to the auto-created folder I assume one would need to do this using Action Script 3 to scan through the .swf and .flv files and extract the frames.

I am using the following code to load my flash file, contact a php script and decide what frame to play based on the results. THat is all working fine, the problem is that when the animation starts from Frame 2 - gotoAndPlay(2) - it seems to repeat a few frames over and over until the whole animation is complete.
I have done some reading up and the enterFrame is called many times so I can understand why the problem is there but I don't know how to resolve it. The interesting thing is, when I just use gotoAndPlay(2) in the if loaded section, it all works fine. It's only when it's in the onLoad for the loadVars that causes it to break. Using: Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0

I know this doesn't have a simple answer, but I want to learn how to scan images, and thus videos (frame-by-frame) and identify other images in that initial image with a given amount of error.

When I first open my project, I want the visuals to stay on the 1st frame, while Flash scans through and creates an array of all the frame labels and their relative frame numbers.
Would be useful to be able to specify a layer to search for labels on, and/or search for any and all frame labels in an mc.

I was interested in searching through text in a textfield, and applying text formatting to keywords. For example, every time the word 'the' appears, apply a text format that changes it to green and 14pt. Here is an example of a format and text applied to a textfield. How would I go about searching through the textfield and applying this format only to specific words? my_txt.text = 'The cat jumped over the house.'
/// my format I want to apply
with (_lt_fmt) {
align = 'left';
blockIndent = 0;

I was hoping to do this from a flash plugin, kind of how flash accesses the microphone or webcam but it doesn't seem possible. Is this going to be possible using Java, or ActiveX, or some other strategy that I haven't looked at yet?The idea is to do it without a client install, or at least something lightweight and browser and platform independent.

I'm working on a school project that will work so that a webcam can scan a grid of colors and determine what color it is and there by playing a sound that is connected to that color. You can then create music by drawing different colors on a grid.
So I managed to import the webcam image to flash, and that's all. How do I Proceed?
* How do I get the webcam to detect colors? (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and Black)
* How do I connect these color detections to start playing a sound/movieclip?
This is the code id used to import the webcam.
Code:
import flash.media.Camera;
import flash.media.Video;
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if (camera != null) {
video.attachCamera(camera);
} else {
trace("You need a camera.");
}

this code is supposed to create a unique random number between 1 and 5. numberRand seems to just be a random number, is the code not right or is the numberRand not the actual variable I want? If so how do I extract from this code?

I'm having trouble fixing a problem with an flv playback issue. A main swf loads a child swf which preloads a movie. If the movie is preloading and you close the child swf with _global.lightBox = false; global.nc.close(); unloadMovieNum(2); The global variable lightBox is set to false so when the video is fully loaded it sees that lightBox is false and does not try to play. The global variable nc is the movie's netConnection. The problem occurs when you click to close the movie and then try to load the movie again. What happens is it stays on the preloader going from 1 to 99 over and over again while playing the first small bit of the movie's sound.

I'm in the middle of redesigning my portfolio site and I'm running into an issue in Flash. I have added a sound to the rollover of a movieclip button and it works fine as I navigate forward through the site, but when I jump backwards the sound starts repeating and it multiplies by the number of times I go back. I have put the sound in using the properties palette and am wondering if there is a simple way to add some AS3 code to the rollover function. I'm sure it is a simple fix, but I'm no AS3 master by any stretch. Below is my current button code. Can I just add code to the 'onRollOverHandler' function?

I am creating an app that flips through a series of 24 flashcards. I want my "Go To Random" button to navigate to a random frame number between 2 and 25, but with no repeats until it has already navigated once to each of the frames in between.
In other words the user doesn't get any repeats until he has already gone through all 24 cards - and then the shuffle repeats.

how you can make Math.random() generated numbers not repeat?
For example; this is only generating numbers from 1 to 2,but what happen if i have more, like 20?
ActionScript Code:

I'd like to have a random number generator that, once it chooses a number, deletes it from the pool of possibilities (it's for a photo gallery that shuffles images from an array)...either that or it keeps repeating the function until it gets a number that hasn't been used.

Everything works fine, but I am trying to play with the different options.The one thing I am trying to do is have fewer repeats, as the object I am using is larger than the one in the tutorial and it looks too crowded. So, I am trying to figure out where to change the code, so that fewer repeats occur. I assume its the math random part, but not sure.Does anyone know where in this code below I would change that option?

I think I have the recursion working properly, but I'm not able to get the originally requested item's property set to the right value.The goal here is to find the topmost parent (or "ancestor," depth = 0) of the nested item (a taxonomy based on Dictionary "parent" attributes), and assign that originally requested nested item's "ancestor" property accordingly.For instance, in
Apples
- Red
- - Empire
- - - Fresh
"Fresh"'s ancestor should be set to "Apples." While I'm attempting this on an "on-demand" and individual basis, I'm open to a solution that tags all children that are related to the same ancestor in one fell swoop or for statement, since that would probably be more efficient.
REQUEST
for (var mc:Object in taxonomy) {
var term = taxonomy[mc];[code]....
As you can see, while the recursion does find the root, the originally requested item still gets the default value.
