I am creating a driving game using the following method to drive the car forward: if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {speed += 1;} I also want to call a function when the key is pressed athough if I add a function call the function gets repeated as long as the key is pressed and I only require it to run once?

In the following code I am trying to call the function pressMc when movieclip myMC_mc is pressed and the apply the drag action to it. However the drag action is being applied to the whole of level0 and therefore all of the moviclips.I am not sure why. Am using the this key word as I would expect this to be identified as myMC_mc when the myMC_mc.onPress is evoked.I want to write this as a function because I want to apply this drag action to lots of different movieclips
function pressMc (){
delete this.oldX;
delete this.oldY;[code]....

Any simple way of measuring how long a button has been pressed for - had a look at gettimer but this seems to be an odd way of doing things - basically I want to say
onclick start timing -
offclick end timing
var time = time button was pressed!

View 2 RepliesI'm an interior architect at a small architecture firm and I have been tasked with updating the firms website. I have no prior experience with flash, but have been able to learn enough to update all expcept for the portfolio section. For some reason, when I add three additional frames to the portfolio gallery timeline, it repeats the previous three frames before playing the new three. This happens only when I publish the file, when I run the timeline and view it on the stage everything appears fine.

Right now, I have a gallery with many different thumbnails each individual movie clip symbols and not button symbols and each movie clip has a rollover and rollout function assigned to them which are all basically the same for each thumbnail.
Following is an example from a small section of the gallery thumbnails.
web04.btn04.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
web04.btn04.onRollOut = function() {
[Code]....
The above shows two groups of thumbnails grouped into individual movie clips (web01, web02, web03) each movie clip containing 3 thumbnails (btn04, sub04_1, sub04_2). I had done it this way for grouping and ease of animation.
I was wondering if it was possible to create just one function which executes the rollover and rollout functions so the script window would not be filled with so much repeated script.
I have a function which makes a call to the server to load some financial data. This data is then displayed in a grid. In order to keep displaying the latest data I keep making this server call (every 30 secs). I'm using a Timer object to do this. The problem I have is that I have to wait 30 secs when the application starts for financial data to be displayed, what I'd like to happen is that the load data call is made, then start the update timer. Is there a way to set this up or shall I use to data load calls, one to get the initial data, then one to get the updates, which is made every 30 secs?

How I should format a long integer into string format with commas? I don't know if there's a built-in func for this, but I haven't found it.

I'm trying to play a 10 minute long video (h264/mp4) which is 39MB in size, after I call stream.play(fileURL) it doesn't start playback until its loaded around 12-16MB of the file (many many seconds later), I finally get onMetaData at this point too. Why doesn't it begin playback right away, or at least w/in a couple seconds? What can cause this bloated lead in time?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:

alert(url);

I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
I have an enterFrame action that I use on a graphic:
[Code]....
Because I want to use the above code more than a few times, I tried to make it a function.
[Code]....
But for some reason the function call does not work when I call it via an action on a graphic where initially the code worked when it was explicitly written and not called as a function.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
fadeOut();
}
why this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]....
"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:
CallTag.as , Line 10 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method init.
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?
Does anyone know if there is a way to call a dispatchEvent call from inside of a static function?

I have a function with the name "result". It's two textfields where you can input some data. I have an addEventListener with a mouse Click to that function. So when I click on my button It starts the function. But I want to call the same function when you press the enter key. So the result will be the same no matter if you click on the button or just press the enter key. This is what I have tried but It doesn't work. I guess I should write my function name "result" somewhere.
this.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterfunc);
function enterfunc(event : KeyboardEvent) : void{
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
submit();
}}
