I am trying to implement an onEnterFrame method within an object that is not applied to a MovieClip. The onEnterFrame is not running, most likely because it is not a movieClip. Is there a way of making it run without attaching anything to the stage?

View 2 RepliesonEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

use the "this.onEnterFrame = function()" function within a Color.prototype function? I'm trying to write my own function to go from one color to another, but nothing works within my this.onEnterFrame function, but anywhere outside of it it works fine.I've done this before, but using a movieclip prototype, so I know it' not syntax. And if you can't, for some reason, use this.onEnterFrame within a color prototype, how do you pass the name of a color object to a function so that I could just say changeColor(myColor, 0xffffff); to change it to white?
View 3 Repliesi'm very new to Flash (although have plenty of experience in Java, C++, PHP, etc).

The error message is:

why does this not work

as soon as i put an object into an array it stops working with onEnterFrame
I'm trying to set up a script which would force an object to move through the stage until a particular point and than change direction. I wrote something like that:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
moveUp = function () {
this._y -= 1;
if (this._y<-30) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveDown;
}};
moveDown = function () {
this._y += 1;
if (this._y>600) {
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}};
this.onEnterFrame = moveUp;
}
But it doesn't work. the object moves only one direction and does not change it.
any consise methods to restart a deleted onEnterFrame that has been deleted?

However, I expect that currentFig would contain a reference to a Figure object created in AddFig method, but it's not. What am I doing wrong? Why does an object exist only within a method?
I'm using the mc_tween2.as tween class and the slideTo method for moving objects around on the screen.
What I'm trying to do is to have the objects rotate "x" degrees when clicked. Right now, they move, let's say, 20px across the x-axis. But I want it to move 20px while rotating 15 degress clockwise. Is that possible using this method?
I know there's a way to rotate objects using the _rotation feature, but that doesn't move it using any tweens; it just "snaps" it into place. I'm looking to rotate the object using a tween, while sliding sliding around using the slideTo method.
i'm trying to make a navigation menu and all the sprites in the menu must have the same Behavior.

I have a pointer to a Class object like so:

if (c.can_build(this, qualifier)) {return true;}
return false;
}
When I do this, Flash CS4 AS3 tells me

View 2 RepliesI may be wrong but as far as I can understand it the hitTestObject() method checks to see whether the object is touching a specific instance of another object? Is there a method I can use where I can check to see if it is touching any Object of a specified class?
OR is there a method I can call where I can see if an Object of a specified class exists at a specific X and Y.I am actually working in Flex using an Image component as opposed to using Flash.
well i have a problem with my analog clock. i have it in my homepage and now it's working fine, but when i test my movie and click in my portfolio, for example, my output windows gives me this error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/clock() i don't understand because even when i change from page to page (or frames) the clock is still working and everything is ok... but the message keeps appearing till i close my test movie window... and i've noticed that when i go online, there are some files missing that weren't till i had the clock on my homepage.[code]
View 12 RepliesI created an array of objects and put an event listener on each of them. My problem is that when the object is clicked, I want to access a method inside the object's class but I do not know how to reference its position in the array. This isn't very clear but hopefully my code will make it clearer.
This line is inside while loops and puts an event listener on every square.
[Code].....
How can I know which square has been clicked?
Note: e.target returns the following error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property placeChar not found on flash.display.Sprite and there is no default value.
I am just trying to watch television episodes on my laptop. this error has been popping up for the last couple weeks for no apparent reason. At first, it also said the Flash Player didn't work with 64 bit whatever with IE8. The error said a patch was not yet made and to use IE 32 bit. I did this and am still getting the error. I have uninstalled flash player and reinstallaed it to no avail. This error led to further problems on my laptop resulting in a total crash. Fortunately, I was able to back up all my files before they disappeared. I restored the computer to a time before I started watching television programs on XFinity.com (about a couple months ago) and it seemed corrected for a while and then the error started again. I am given the option to continue or dismiss. either button allows me to continue watching the program, but then repeatedly appears even when I quit XFinity and watch the shows directly from the network websites.
View 9 RepliesWhat's the difference between calling a method on a stage object and my own object ?
For example:
myCarRectangleShape.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doit);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doitagain);
Let's suppose I compile the class X that extends Sprite
and myCarRectangleShape is also a sprite object
class Foo {
public function bar():void { ... }
