I wanted to create a basic 'Countdown Timer' set for this years Christmas date using Flash CS3. I've seen online video tutorials of how to create one which I followed to the later to see if I could get the basic function working. Well it does work however there is a glitch in the countdown text field display itself when it's running.
Basically it should like the following: 36 : 14 : 30 : 52 (days, hrs, mins, secs).
However, I seem to be getting an extra character (hyphens) before each set of digits making it look like this: -36 : -14 : -30 : -52
On top of that the code is supposed to include an extra "0" digit for when the countdown goes below 10 to maintain the position alignment. This doesn't seem to be working and as a result the timer continually shifts position. I've seen another example of how to create a Countdown Timer and the code is very similar (especially regarding the extra 0 digit). Why it's not displaying properly.
Here is the code for the Timer
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
var today:Date = new Date();
var currentYear = today.getFullYear();
var currentTime = today.getTime();
var targetDate:Date = new Date(currentYear, 11, 25);

use unicode character 187 (hex:BB) or ascii character 174 as a seperation character in my mysql database.This was working great in one of my swf files but not flash keeps reading an extra character. [code]The trace output from this looks like this: 1«1.If I change the php so that it's sending a 1B1 (no special characters) it works ok.I tried using the ASCII version and the Unicode version alt-174 and alt-0187 and both return this extra %2c character.I have tried urlencode from php, but even sending a 1%BB1 provides the same results.I can't fathom why it would all of a sudden start adding extra characters. So should I change my seperation character. If so, what's recommend? If not, should I check every variables from php for this extra character and remove it?

I am trying to remove an enemy after I kill them and I just started working with code in .as files. The enemy has it's own logic in a .as file and when I use removeChild, the movieclip is removed, but the logic continues to attack the main character (invisible).Is there a better way of removing the enemy character permanently. It kind of scares me that the method I use could just be leaving invisible movieclips on the screen as well.I've tried everything that I have used in previous games: removeChild(EnemyArray[i]);And this, which causes other problems with my code but removes the logic: EnemyArray[i] = null;But these still cause the problem.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to put the text back into a text field on FOCUS_OUT one character at a time. On FOCUS_IN, I want to remove the text one character at a time.
Here's the basic code:
major.text = "ActionScript 3.0";
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, inFocus);
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, outFocus);
function inFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="";// want to clear the text one character at a time
} function outFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="ActionScript 3.0"; // want to put the text back in one character at a time
}
I attached a fla. that does this in ActionScript 2.0, but I'm trying to do this in ActionScript 3.0.
I have a 9 frames image of a character.In other language generally i used to make character animation by looping the array consisting of different frames and drawing each frame when pressing key.What i want to do is when i press left or right key, i want to draw each frame that makes character movement and update x coordinates of frames, and it will appear as character is moving.

View 1 RepliesI am considering upgrading my copy of Flash Builder to 4.5, and would like a list of the new features in the new version before I commit. I have heard that the ASUnit tests integrate better than previously, and that there are some nice features like quick fixes, is there anything else? Finally, based on your experiences using it, are there any shortcomings to look out for / avoid?
View 1 RepliesI'm loading a Flex 4.5 module (it's a SWF file) using a PHP code like this:
$module = 'modules/'.$_GET['module'].'.swf';
if(!file_exists($module)) {
$module = 'error.swf';
} $size = filesize($module);
$contents = file_get_contents($module);
header('Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header('Content-Length: '.$size);
echo $contents;
And it works very well.
Now I want to get some extra data to load and populate the module with that data in just one request handler, something like:
private function requestHandler(response:???):void {
var data:Array = response as Array;
mySparkModuleLoader.load("", data[0] as ByteArray);
myController.load(data[1]);
}
I was trying to do it with AMFPHP but the ByteArray seems to be broken or something because it doesn't show up, but the rest of the data is fine:
return array(
'hello world!',
new Amfphp_Core_Amf_Types_ByteArray(file_get_contents($module))
);
Maybe creating a multipart response like [URL] and handling it?

I have an FLA file that is one frame. ActionScript 3 code runs a few functions and when you click on things, other functions run. Pretty basic...I have some buttons and sprites that I would like to use with the external.AS file found here for tool tips: [URL] for my buttons and sprites.If I save the Tool Tip code at the thread above as 'tooltip.as', how do I use that in my FLA? Since I am using an FLA with Actions in Frame 1, I'm not using 'package' keyword... it just starts with import flash.display.Sprite; and goes on to set variables and functions. I'm not using a document class.
View 3 RepliesI am currently maintaing a multi-linual app. It uses LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to populate dynamic fields with text appropriate to the user's current language. It works fine, except in a few cases. Certain Cyrillic characters, as well as certain Latin characters (such as Å‚) appear with an extra space after them. I have not figured out a way around this. I am using embedded fonts, and am embedding all the appropriate characters.
I've tried using different fonts, and I get the same problem with the same characters across all fonts. If I use device fonts, there is no problem, but this would have to be a last resort, since I'd like to have antialiasing, etc available. I have trace()-d the strings and have confirmed that there's no funny business going on with sendAndLoad(); the text is being properly downloaded.
Note that I am using Flash 8 targeting Flash 6, but targeting Flash 8 doesn't fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or a similar one.
Well I have this dynamic textfield on stage, and it receives a String using FileReference.name. So far, so good.
I wanna know if it's able to make flash 'cut' some extra text from long strings and show ellipsis instead.
I mean, if it receives "ABCDEFGHIJ", if the string exceeds the textfield width, it would show "ABCDE..."

I need the following date: Thu Mar 10 18:33:48 GMT-0300 2011 to become:
Thu Mar 10 18:34:18 GMT-0300 2011
This means that the retrieved Date now has 30 more seconds...
