ActionScript 2.0 :: Basic OOP With XML - Trace New Portfolio Objects
Feb 19, 2008
I'm trying to finally dive into OOP and tie it into XMl that I am loading. I am using a custom class I created and I believe I've linked everything together that should be (paths and whatnot). The problem I'm having is I'm trying to trace 1 of the new portfolio objects I created so that I can reference to its properties. But whenever I trace i get an undefined. Anyone who could point me in the right direction would be awesome! Here is the XML code:

I've tried to build up a little menu/breadcrumb, which I thought would be as simple as could be. Buttons with InstanceNames and their corresponding FrameLabel. Home, Portfolio and Contact work, but not the others? I even put a basic trace to see if the onRelease was working, and it wasn't, even though the code for each button is the same??
Code:
stop();
btn_home.onRelease = function() { gotoAndStop('home'); }
btn_portfolio.onRelease = function() { gotoAndStop('portfolio'); }
btn_film.onRelease = function() { gotoAndStop('film'); }

I've started using the 3D capabilities of Flash CS4 recently, particularly with respect to transforming the rotation and translation properties of movie clips with AS3. Which is fine for planar shapes, but I want to know how to create true 3D objects that I can similarly manipulate. The problem is, that although there are plenty of excellent tutorials covering simple changes in X, Y and Z properties, there seems to be a distinct lack of tutorials explaining in simple terms how to go about creating, say, a basic cube that can be displayed and transformed dynamically. Adobe's Flash CS4 files mention perspective projection and the Matrix3D object, but I don't find these section particularly clear. What I would like to do, for starters, is create a simple cube to which I can apply x, y and z axis transformations in the same way I can to movie clips.

Creating a dynamic scroll panel using two objects from my library and accessing images from a folder using some basic XML. The ScrollPanel loads fine, the 6 instances of the empty movieclip holders load. The function that traces the instance of the movieClip names is working. My trouble is accessing the instances of the movies to load the loaders in order to view the jpgs called from the folder. I receive an "access of undefined property" message if I type thumbLoad0.addChild(pic1ldr); etc, which you will see at the very bottom.

I've got 4 arrays with 14 objects each:
player1[]
player2[]
player3[]
player4[]
How could I trace all the objects inside 2 fors? How is the right syntax ? The following obviously is wrong:
Code:
for(var i:uint=1;i<5;i++)
{
for(var j:uint=0;j<14;j++)
{
trace((player+i)[j].cardType);
}
}

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?

I'm new to this CS4 world and I can't make my buttons work...I'm trying to make a portfolio. I have a button created named "books". I created a new layer just to insert the AS of that button and to stop the movie clip...the button is inside that movieclip.
Here is what that layer contains:

EDIT I took off the ":void" part and the compiler doesnt show me any errors. But still it doesn't go to the "design" frame.

I'm trying to make a portfolio. Nested in the mc portfolio are 15 other mc's. site_01, site_02, site_03 etc. When the portfolio button is pressed mc_portfolio is going to frame 2, where the 15 mc's are located. But I don't want them to appear all at ones! I want them to appear with let's say .5 of a seccond pause in between each mc.

Somehow through tons of research I've been able to make myself a flash website which features my work. There is one big problem, my site loads really slow and I'm afraid I'm loosing all of my potential clients who probably won't wait for it to load.
Here's my website url: [URL]
I'm hosting with hostgator if that matters at all, I've also optimized the images.

My company has 50 flv files that we regularly show to clients. I was planning to set up a website that had all 50 videos on it and the client could pick and choose what videos they want to watch by selecting thumbnails. The problem is that our account executives want to be able to choose what videos are available for them to watch, so they can't watch the entire library. I can't be chaning the interface for each client request, so I am thinking the account excutive could select from a list of videos and send them a link that only has those thumbnails of those videos on it.
Any ideas on how this could be accomplished? It is kind of like having an interface for the account executives with a menu of movies, and then a different interface for the client to play the movies chosen for them in the order in which they choose. It would dynamically build according to the account executives selections.

So im trying to get my flash portfolio up and running. And im using the code I usually do for buttons which is for example:
function onbrandingClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("branding");
}
branding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onbrandingClick);
All my menu buttons are working until I click on portfolio which has 6 different catergories and it just stops at branding and the other category buttons wont work. They are all set up fine with instances and such. However the buttons in the menu will still work.This might be confusing but I am up for sending the file to show someone if anyone is interested!

I'm pretty new to the action script side of things, but am starting to get the hang of it. I've been following a computer arts tutorial to set up a dynamic xml portfolio, which has been going well, however the problem is the tutorial is just for a one page portfolio, when I try and link more than one page I hit a problem, the menu info on first won't go away.
What it needs is a line or two of code that closes the previous movie clip, when a new one is loaded, if any of you out there can help with this I'd be massively grateful - this problem has literally had me pulling out hair for the last week.
here is the relevant bit of code, if it helps I can upload the fla and xml too.

I'm trying to build a portfolio and I'm using a var imageNumber code to cycle through images on my page, but I want to have a dynamic text field caption change every time the image changes. I've found a way to do it (I made it bold), but the code is long and bothersome when there is a ton of images. Does anyone know a better way to do this?
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
forwardBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);

I've been through Senoculars XML tutorial which can be found here and went further to read another thread (here ). about extending the Portfolio to allow for more thumbs--implementing a scrollbar-to Scotty This brings me to my questionQ: How can I do away with any scrolling and implement page numbers instead? So users could click the page numbers to go to the next lot of thumbnails in the section instead of scrolling up and down. The image below illustrates what im trying to achieve. As you can see I would like it to show current page, and overflow for page numbers that wont fit within the area dictated on the stage (rather like how threads work in this forum)

I am trying to build a xml driven portfolio. What i am trying to build is something like this [URL].. if you check the random works section you see 6 projects. What i want is to have 3 projects next to eithother and when a new one is added in the xml file then it puts it underneed the other 3 and starts a new line of projects. The project files will be external swf files. i would like the view projects mouse over part also to come out the xml file and i need a information part telling the company name and then the programs it was made in. I dont have a clue how to do this. Really would like some help i am checking out books and tutorials but cant find any good info. If somebody could hook me up with a quick and dirty source file with now extra's just the technique behind it.

I have forged senoculars XML Portfolio into a site, one thing I need to add to make me (and my boss) happy is a scroll function to the thumbs at the bottom. I have everything working super cool except for the scroll, my boss is starting to get antsy in the pantsy..I am not awesome at AS, But know enough to implement any suggestions you might have.the effect i am trying to get is similar to the XML gallery with thumbs mousover effect, accept with a little bit o' easing.The XML is set up differently, so I don't know if I can gut the one and implement it in the other...

I've tried applying Ilyas' infinite menu to the Senocular's XML portfolio. However, the movement looks bad--you can see where the thumbs stop and begin. I was wondering how this could be fixed??
Also, would it be possible that when you click on a thumbnail, a PDF file is launched? How could I do this from the XML file? I'm trying to create a continuous scrolling horizontal menu. The menu would contain pictures of news articles and when you click on the picture, you could read the article in the PDF!
Since each article is pretty long, like news clippings, I don't think having this info in a flash pop-up box would work?
