ActionScript 2.0 :: 'Play' Is Not A Valid Instance Name
Apr 7, 2011
When I open one of my cs3.fla's and save it as a cs5.fla and then export I'm getting the following output message.
'play' is not a valid instance name. Please enter an identifier that is not a reserved keyword or function.
This only happens when I export it for the first time after opening it (if I close that file down and open it again I get the same message)
I dont have any clips with the instance name 'play' or anything like that

I placed a movie clip instance inside a button, and I want this movie clip to play when the button is released. I'm using this code on the frame containing the button:
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent)
{
this.theButton.theMC.gotoAndPlay(3);

Most JavaScript code is also syntactically valid ActionScript 3.0 code. However, there are some exceptions which leads me to my question:
Which constructs/features in JavaScript are syntactically invalid in ActionScript 3.0? Please provide concrete examples of JavaScript code (basic JavaScript code without DOM API usage) that is NOT valid ActionScript 3.0 code.

configuring this instance movie to play when i click a button, here is my movie structure:
- root movie - container and some external .swf movie
The process is there will be button load at the end of root movie, and calling some external swf movie with number. all the swf will play in a container each swf movie(about 5 animation)
At the end of root movie there is also some loop animation that play at the end of root movie, while we can click the button also.
What i want to do is how can i play the loop movie, start from the middle when i click one of the button.
So what happen will be: - click button = external movie load and the instance name play from frame 100 and loop again.

I created a button on the stage and made it a movie clip and called it's instance name "play_btn" then i made a document class "main.as" and a second class "play button.as". How is to access the instance name in the play button.as file like this...
public class login_page extends MovieClip {
public function login_page() {
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onPlayDown);
} public function onPlayDown(evt:MouseEvent):void {
trace("Test");
}}
And then I want to call the function in the main.as.. but the general problem is that I want to access the instance name "play_btn" in the "playbutton.as" file. I tried to link it to the class but i get this error: 1120: Access of undefined property play_btn.

I have recently adopted an FLV from someone else. It is structured "unconventionally" at best. For this reason (and because I am not well-versed in AS3), I haven't been able to get a pause/play button to function properly. About the file, The project is a 6-7 minute demo for a new product complete with voiceover. You have to drill in 3 movie clips deep before you can get to much of the animation. There are gotoAndPlay functions at the end of each 3rd-level movie clip that refer to a frame on the 2nd level.
On the 2nd-level frame, there is a stop function which allows the next movie clip to play. Each movie clip contains a sound layer for voice over. About the play/pause button. The instance name is pauseBtn. The button code below is on the 1st frame of the main timeline. There is a keyframe on the second frame for another bit of code. The button itself is a 2-frame MC that spans the entire main timeline. The event.target.gotoAndStop() lines are working properly to change the look of the button.
My button scriptstop();
import flash.media.SoundMixer;
var pp:Boolean = true;
function ppState(event:MouseEvent) {
if(pp) {
stop();
[Code] .....
What happens when I test the movieThe animation plays without problem as long as the button is not clicked. I haven't been able to see a pattern in the chaos that occurs when the button is clicked.
Sometimes nothing happens.
Sometimes it stops the sound only.
Sometimes it resets to the beginning of the movie.
Sometimes it starts play random parts on top of what was already playing.
This error appears in the output pane.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Is it possible to use the FLVPlayback class to play an instance of the Video class? I'm loading the video (which is just an audio track with cue points) in using GreenSocks LoaderMax (along with the rest of my assets) and so have various instances of Video. The FLVPlayback class only accepts a String as its' source. Is there any way to hack it to bypass whatever loading it does and just feed it the video directly?

Does creating a new instance of an Object that uses an identical name to an older instance, delete the previous instance? Or should the original instance be deleted first? The code uses a ridiculous amount of XML vars. Isn't it less memory intensive to parse the XML and save the properties to an Object, and then delete the XML Object, rather than keep the XML Object around and reference it's child nodes directly? Is it better form to break up a huge XML file (>600lines/3200vars) into smaller chunks?

I'm using flash CS4. I am trying to make a piano. It will be the header of a web page when the mouse rolls over a key the appropriate note plays- ideally the key would appear to be pressed as well. I have a jpg of a piano keyboard imported as a graphic. On a new layer I have made a button whos over state has a blank keyframe. I have imported that button to the stage and given the instance a name. I have attached a sound to the over keyframe (middle C).
I have dropped a second instance of the button onto the stage and given it a unique name. When I attach the next sound (D pitch) to the over state it changes the original middle C. How can I get each instance of a button to play a unique sound? I have tried using a new layer for each button but that didnt work. Do I have to make a brand new button for each note? I have reduced my design to include only 16 notes (I originally wanted 32 but I thought that may take too long to download)---

I'm making a demo project for myself to learn. The project is somewhat similar to "The Story of Stuff" website.But I making this demo and going step by step. I have a small working project but the video clips are embedded and now I'm launching them externally using the flv playback component.I have only made the very first video clip external that is loaded in using the component. The rest of the clips are embedded.
As you can see I made this so when the picture icons appear and when you click on one the video pauses and when you click the close button on the small window that pops up the video resumes.(un-pause)
Basic time line controls. (Linear)
But of course this does not work when I load the clip externally using the flv playback component.My question is , how can I control (Play/Pause) the flv playback instance(s) with my existing icons?

Imagine this scenario:The application is a Game, where the enemy characters can 'attack' the player, and each time they attack the 'Attack.mp3 file is played from the libraryNow my question is, if I have to create a new instance of the MP3 file in the memory, each time playing it, or can i use a 'master' Sound instance ,that I can play multiple times simultaneously.(similarly I can use one 'enemy.jpg' bitmapdata, that I can then copy to the screen with copyPixels, and only having it in the memory just once )IE if i have 50 'Enemy' characters running around the game

I have a UI component calendar that populates a text box that I validate before I let the form send.All works fine in this department until you put the date in the text box manually, then the form does not think there is a valid date. This is because I validate the two dates not by what�s in the textbox, but by what date the person chose in the calendar UI component.Confusing I know.So, how can I take a date someone puts is a listbox and formulate it so it looks like this
There date = 2/31/2003
Formulates to inputday = 1
inputmonth = 31
inputYear = 2003
I think if I have it in this form I can validate the date against the current date.Or, where is a good web site with form/date validation?

check if a filepath supplied to a FLVPlayer component is valid or not - as in the player will fail, but I don't know how to ACT on it. I tried various try-catch and I tried listening for stuff - nothing seems to work. This is AS2 I'm concerned with.

I'm looking for a way to embed Flash into a XHTML Transitional page that does not rely on enabled JavaScript, which validates and that works across all major Browsers including IE6. So far I'm using this solution which seems to work just fine:[URL]...However, when this method is used in an RSS Feed it seems that Feedburner and Google Reader at least (maybe other feed readers, too) strip the whole object tags and only leave the alternative content.

I'm trying to have a flash video, with fallback to the html5 video element for those browsers which don't support flash, such as iPhone. I'd also like to have valid html5. The issue I see is that in html5, object doesn't support the classid attribute anymore, but this would be required for a user to get flash if they don't have it but want it.
It seems my options are to accept invalid html5 but not have the flash work properly, or have the classid and not have valid html5.

I have a block of code that I want to execute directly after a url is known to be valid. What I mean by 'valid' is that the program has checked to see if that filepath actually exists. This could be accomplished by a COMPLETE listener, because after all, a loader couldn't finish loading its content if the referenced file didn't exist, but I want it to happen before any of the bytes begin to get sucked in. I have also tried the HTTPS_STATUS event, with a conditional saying "if the status is this [some non-error status number], then run this block of code." This would have worked great, except that different environments produce different network codes, and some even can't distinguish between errors and non-errors, just returning 0's no matter what. Because of this, I can't write a conditional that works no matter what browser....

I dont want to compare regex and text-value - i jus want to check if this regex is valid. If someone type invalid regex - for example: "x{5,-3}" or "(((^^$$$)//)" or something like this i just need to communicate to him that this regular expression is not valid - its not proper regular expression.

On my network I have a couple of pc's all running a bespoke server which will return the username of the person logged in when queried.I have the following piece of code.
private function LoopAndList():void
{
var loopSocket:Socket;
var fourthOctet:Number = 6;
[code]....
Now when this runs it doesn't work as I first thought. The iterations go though. the fourthOctet value is decremented. But somethinjg strange happens. You will notice in the above code that I have a hardcoded IP address in the loop. I have put this there to ensure that there is always a valid connection. So am aware it will always be connecting to 192.168.0.4.
But the connection only happens on the last connect call.
The ouput is:
192.168.0.6
Connecting to 192.168.0.6
192.168.0.5
Connecting to 192.168.0.5

Is it possible to ensure valid dates within flash without using the Date components?I am making a form where the user defines both their date of birth and a reservation dateSadly, I have been told that my database spits nuts and bolts if you give it an invalid date. Have tryed the Date component. It works well for reservations. But when it comes to Date of Birth it wouldn't work cause scrolling 20 odd years month by month would be too painful for a user.
