I've been trying to get a flash map to zoom in and out but I can't seem to get it working, it'll zoom in fine, but not zoom out I'm zooming into a particular area of a map (Uganda in this example) with a function for a button, I'm using a boolean value to check if I am zoomed in and it registers whether it's true or false (checking with a dynamic textbox).

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to do here, basically I need to check if a record exists in a database, so I call a function to do so, but I'm using the sqlrunner class wherein the result of a query is called as an event response and I don't know how to get that value out of the resulting function back to the parent.[code]...

View 9 Replies'm trying to do: I have a number of buttons on stage. When you rollover, a movie clip is attached. If you roll out, it disappears; if you click, it stays. Then you can drag it around. I'm using a boolean for the rollout disappearing trick. I've set these up in named functions.

I'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:[code]does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean).Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? Ideally "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.
View 1 RepliesI'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.
If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:
static function test(foo:int):void
{
trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
it works as expected (output: 17 number).
However, calling apply(null, ["false"]) or apply(null, ["0"]) with this function:
static function test(foo:Boolean):void
{
trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean). Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.

View 4 RepliesI'm working on a pretty simple flash application which basically plays a music clip downloaded from a web URL, and makes a stick man dance. I have it all working fine, however, I've used the addChild function on the start button to add the mc onto the stage, however, when I applied the removeChild function to take it off again, I get an error telling me that it hasn't got a caller.Here's the script:[code]I've had my tutor look at it, and she can't work it out either, but I do get the feeling that she's not much wiser on Flash than I am.
View 17 RepliesI must admit I have struggled with this thing for a bit. It seems simple but for whatever reason I can't get it to work. I just want to make something move in AS 3 right now, and so far I've tried puzzling together two different tutorials, but both of them are missing either some source files or further explanation.
Anyway, here is the code (The bit I am having problems with)
Code:
//event listener checks for key presses
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkkey);
//Create keyHandler function
[Code].....
The problem is the checkkey function in the update function. If I leave the parenthesis empty it tells me it needs an argument, if I leave it like that it tells me I need a right paren before colon.

I can't seem to get the hitTest to work for my script shown below. I have tested using movieclips created on stage during design time and made to collide during run-time. hitTest works fine in this situation.
But if I use the attachmovie command and create a movie on stage during run-time, that clip cannot hitTest with other movieclips. The hitTest simply doesn't work.
The script below is basically, to create instances of enemymc, and it will fall vertically, hitting a movieclip target_mc which is placed during design-time.
var enemyTime:Number = 0;
var enemyLimit:Number = 20;
onEnterFrame = function()
{

Why is the function not working?This is my function:
function add_controll_pannel() {
this.attachMovie("controll_pannel","controll_panne lMC",10);
controll_pannelMC._x="157";
controll_pannelMC._y="186";
}
And this is my function call:
add_controll_pannel;
Nothing happens.
The code that is commented out will work, however, I'm trying to turn that code, since it's used multiple times, into a function.
Why isn't my function working when it's being called?

function displayInfo(_ROLL:MovieClip,_MC:MovieClip, _NN:MovieClip) {

I'm not getting errors but my program wont call my function.

I'm not getting any takers over in the Flash 8 forum.I am using the snow method wonderfully created here on Kirupa and have a quick question.

View 4 RepliesI just created an image gallery that displays 3 images at a time. For some reason, it works (for the most part) in Opera, but it doesn't display the images properly in IE.
img1, img2,and img3 are blank movie clips that hold each of the photos. The links to the photos are retrieved from XML, and are displayed in a random order. The first picture shows how it looks in IE, and the 2nd is in Opera. It also seems that the clearInterval() function isn't working like it should. Once the pictures are loaded, they are resized using the resizeMe() function (called by setInterval) to fit in the rectangle.
IE: Opera:
Code:
img1._alpha = 0;
img2._alpha = 0;[code].....

some reason when I try to hide Handle, it doesn't do it, & trace's dont do anything either it is suppost to create the button & store it in any handle I give it

View 1 RepliesI'm just wondering it is that that .removeMovieClip() isn't working for me. I'm using the correct path to the object, and I've used this function many many times before.

View 2 RepliesIn actions in my .fla file I create a new object of a class (addChild) which is in an separate .as file. Now, in my .as file I want to call a function in the .fla file. This should be the parent right? So, I try parent.correct(); which does not work. I get the error #1061 (call to a possibly undefined method). However, when I do this:
var par:* = parent;
par.correct();
Everything works. Why is this?
I made a simple MOVIE which is hidden by default and will play only once the PORTFOLIO button is pressed.
PHP Code:
btn_portfolio.onRelease = function() {
subnavigation.gotoAndPlay("show");
};
I have checked and rechecked my MOVIE INSTANCE and still it's not working. I even tried adding "_root" and "this" before the "subnavigation" but still not working.
