View 5 RepliesI'm trying to toggle 2 global Boolean variables inside of an ENTER FRAME loop. "Eating" and "WasEating". When these 2 objects hit each other "Eating" is set to true, and an animation plays to show that my character is eating. When the 2 objects DONT hit, I want to change my "WasEating" variable to true ONLY for that one frame (then setting it back to false), and to change back to the original animation when the Hero was NOT eating.
The issue I'm having is my variable is getting toggled true to false, false to true, every frame, not what I want. I want to have this happen ONLY ONCE, based on the hitTestObject function in the loop. For example:
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
function loop (e:Event):void {

i'm trying to use the trace() function to get an output that uses a parentheses <"> within it.My problem is that when i type my trace, for example:
trace("Andy will say" + " " " + Hello.text + " " "); is suppose to come out saying: Andy will say "Hello".
But the AS3 reads it such that the parentheses after "Andy will say" and after Hello.txt are normally utilized parentheses.
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

Here is my problem:Instead of placing my photo holders randomly on stage,I would like to have them in a grid form.
Code so far:
Code:
totalPhotos = total;
[code]....
I am quite new to AS3 and I am having trouble adapting my knowledge of Java to this new language i am trying to make a simple grid in which i could work on each individual square seperately(changing their colour for example). To do so, I created a 2D array,hoping it would allow me to work with some kind of coordinates system. I initialised the array using while loops and for some reason, this does not let me access the array outside the loops.[code]The two last lines are causing the problem, instead of turning the last square red, they return the following error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.However, when placed inside the loop, there is no problem and the whole grid turns red.

View 3 RepliesI am having a hard time trying to use an onRelease event handler inside a for loop. Basically, I am developping a custom player for articulate presenter using flash and AS2.This code is generating a movie clip in a for loop for each line in the sidebar, with slide title and slide number parsed from a XML.Until here, all works fine.But when I try to generate the onRelease event handler to play the wanted slide when I click on the line, the value inside the onRelease is always the highest value of i.Looks like the onRelease evaluates i only when I click on the line, after all the clips have been generated.[code]I have to find a way to capture the value of i for each clip.
View 2 Replieshow to call a function via setInterval a limited number of times (e.g. 20 times).
Code:
function CallMe(Me){
trace(Me);
}
for(var i:Number = 0; i<=20;i++){
setInterval(CallMe(i),3000);
}
My intention for the above simple code would be to have 'i' get traced every 3 seconds. But it doesn't. 'i' just gets dopped out into the output pane all in one go. Do steady release!

possible to have a timer that works inside a 'for' loop? I have created a timer but it only activates each time the frame is run through. I have a for loop with i++ so that I can put objects on the page with a small pause between them. The i++ loop puts all the movieclips on the page simultaneously. I need a delay and a loop because the shuffled arrays will be reset each time the frame refreshes.

I'm creating a website using Adobe Flash Professional CS5. I'm trying to read the content of a text file with URLLoader.load(path) inside a for loop. The path changes every iteration. When I trace the data from the event handler method, it returns only the last path's text file's content. It seems like it's calling the event handler method only after the for has done looping.

Now, on the line I starred*, if I enter "images/0" instead of what you read there, then it works.
