How would you write this into a function that lies on frame 1:
onClipEvent(data){
this.sendSent.text = "MESSAGE WAS SENT";
this.textEmail.text = "EMAIL";
this.textSubject.text = "SUBJECT";
this.textName.text = "NAME";
this.textMessage.text = "MESSAGE";
}
Lets say I add a callback function to be run every frame the AS2 way.
Code:
this.onEnterFrame = myFunction;
If I add another enter frame listener, will this replace the old one, or add to the old one, so both functions will run when frames are entered? And how do I remove these listeners?
I have a Movie Clip on my time line that has an empty movieclip inside it which I whish to load a random external SWF file into. There is to be an unknown number of SWF's to load in and these are to be played one after the other. So when the first random SWF is finished playing the next random SWF is to start playing.
Here is the hierarchy of my file
Code:
|_ Timeline
|_ plasmaScreen_mc
|_ emptyMovieClip (instance name advert)
So on my empty movie clip I have an onClipEvent which loads in the file path of the External SWF from an XML file and tries to load the extrernal file. Here is my code
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this._currentframe == this._totalframes)
{
[code].....
Unfortunately because the code for getting data from the XML file is included in the onClipEvent "this" now refers to the XML data and not the movieclip. Can anyone tell me how I can proceed. I need to pass the filename to movieclip.
I'm trying to load XML data after an hitTest but doesn't work the way I'm programming. Here is the source code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (_root.ster1_mc.hitTest(_root.rocket)) {
trace("raak");
function loadXML(loaded) {
[Code] .....
When I use the XML code simple on a button it works perfect but after my hitTest it's doing nothing... When I remove the function it say's undivined in the textarea.
It's a very basic comments form with only 3 fields, the information gets sent directly to a email address through PHP.
The form works perfectly, sends all the information to my email, but my problem comes in when I try to run a onClipEvent(data) handler to go to a "Thank you" page when the information's been sent.
The onClipEvent(data) handler runs on the form movie clip and works fine when I run it on my local drive, but when I run it through the website it never executes. The form just get sent and it stays on the same frame.
I'm getting headaches from this because it looks like all the codes are working fine, it just doesn't want to run the damn handler!
I'm having an odd issue with this onClipEvent friend... In the main timeline, I set a variable like so:
[Code]...
And when it occurs, I get back LOADING FLAG IS: true, and that's fine too. Then, on the object I have the image loading into, I have the following:
[Code]...
And indeed, when the image loads, I get the trace statements, BUT though it traces, it does not redefine loadingFlag! also, the second trace statement comes up as IMAGE LOADING FLAG IS: with no value afterwards... Is there something with onClipEvent(data) where even though it's attached to a nested movieclip, it doesn't refer to the _root?
The probem is I have an external swf file that loads a mailer. everything works fine apart from the fact that when the data is sent to the php file this command wont respond. It works on my local but once on the server it dont go.I think that the problem might be that MC (goin) is the MC that this code is located in?
onClipEvent (data) {
_root.goin.gotoAndPlay(12);
}
I have a scroller, which works well, except I wish to remove the scroller and track, and just use the left and right buttons. This is also goes to plan, except I wish the left/right buttons to operate as soon as the mouse glides over them. The script is written using the onClipEvent function, and does not allow the mouseOver option. By looking at the code below, does anyone know if there is a way around this? I'd love to know if it's possible!

I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)
View 1 RepliesI am trying to turn the following code (which works well when applied to a _mc) into a generic function I can use on the first frame of my main timeline:
Code:
onClipEvent (load) {
this.speed = 0; // current tween velocity
this.tScale = 100; // target scale[code]..........
Have tried various ways without success.
I have a whole bunch of onClipEvent(enterFrame){} events going on. Would taking all that code and putting it into just one mc's onClipEvent(enterFrame){} function lower cpu usage? What is a good way to have enterFrame functions die if not needed?
I have 5 nav buttons. The first two have sub sections. (1st one has 2 elements, 2nd one has 4 elements). The way I set it up, each of these buttons checks on the _y position of the button below it. I then use a move function with inertia to move the bottom button, and all buttons on top of move along with a springy feel. Also, when these move, I show the 2nd frame of each of the buttons in the corresponding section, for it shows the text of each button. This is the way I am doing it right now (By setting everything in one enter frame function it seems to run a lot smoother than when each element had its own enterframe function for just one line of code):
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_parent.link1_1._y = _parent.link1_2._y-20;[code]....

I want to call a function once per frame between keyframe 1 and keyframe 60, but i don't want to have to create a keyframe on EVERY single frame in between with an action calling the function. is there a simple way like tweening, to make this function execute once on every frame without having to make 60 unique keyframes?

I am making a project and using XML to bring in the data externally. However i have ran into a little snag. My code to query the XML works, but if i don't start with the first button, the rest of the buttons dont work.
If i click on the first button which takes you to a new frame and loads in the XML data into a text area the rest of the buttons will work and go the frame they are supposed to and work as intended.
However if i do not click on the first button first, the button will take you to the frame that it is supposed to take you to but the XML does not load.
The buttons are on a grid and are supposed to be clicked in any order and bring open the right information, which is why this is a problem.
here is the code that is on the second frame. All the other frames look just like this one but with the names changed to fit the names of the buttons.

View 1 RepliesI have a website and it functions fine but I want to make a few alternate versions, exactly the same only they start on a different frame.

Only when I click the button that links back to frame 1 does frame 9 load.

how to add completely new data to XML data I'm holding in a var.
I'm importing XML data into an editor I'm creating. The XML looks like this:
<itemList_120>
<mediaFile order="1" playTime='2' transIn='1' transOut='9'>gif.gif</mediaFile> <mediaFile order="2" playTime='1' transIn='6' transOut='8'>jpg.jpg</mediaFile>
[Code]....
Rather than change existing XML data, how do I add completely new data? ie, if the above var held two "mediaFile" lines of XML, how do I add or insert a third?
This seems like it should be pretty basic, but after hours of searching for an answer I give up! All I want to do is write code on one frame to take action on another. So for a completely random example, let's say I'm writing my code on frame 1. In that code I'd like to add a movie clip at frame 10. How do I target frame 10? Working in AS3.
