Is there any way to check if an external sound file exists? I've searched the net and found stuff on checking if files exist using LoadVars. But it doesnt work for sound.
View 1 RepliesHow would you check if a file on a server exists and if not, check XX Times l8er again til ya find it and then go ahead with the script ..
View 2 Repliesin AS3 to check if a file exists before loading it. There was not very much about so I wrote these classes to do it. There are two classes, the FileLoaderUtils and the UtilEvent. the FileLoaderUtils has the function doesFileExist(url:String) and when called the class uses the URLStream class to attempt to load the file. If the file exists a UtilEvent.FILE_EXISTS event is dispatched. If the URL is incorrect or the file doesn not exist a UtilEvent.FILE_NOT_FOUND event is dispatched.

I want to run an if statement to check whether mainPicAreaexists and if it does, then run a removeChild(mainPicArea), and if not do nothing.

if (MovieClip.mainPicArea){
trace("exists");
//removeChild(mainPicArea);

When I test, it comes back with the trace "doesent exist", even though it does exist.

My page has 2 tab menus. When the page first loads, it defaults to the first tab, but when the second tab is hit, an image is loaded to the stage. I want to remove the image from the stage once the first tab is hit again.I keep getting the error "Access of undefined property Image1" but the whole point is to check if this child exists with the if statement.
//Tab 1
if (Image1 != undefined) {
stage.removeChild(Image1);

I´m trying to check if one xml element has a child-element or not, i´ve tried things like if(myxml.doubtelement != null) ; if(myxml.doubtelement != undefined) ; and if(myxml.doubtelement != 'undefined') wich where the solutions i found in forums... but they don´t work at all. i´ve been looking at the xml methods and i found contains() method, but I found out that it works with the element content and not with the node itself.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to check if a MC is on the screen but it says: 1120: Access of undefined property newBullet.
The code that is giving the error is in engine.as

newBullet.x = gtip.x;

gtip is an instance name of a movie clip that is in the character when it gets loaded.Here is the code from the files;

My situation is thus: I have an XML file with entries, each of which contains a handle (linkage ID) to the movie clip that represents that entry onstage. So I dynamically load these symbols in from the library accordingly. Only problem is, I need to be able to count how many of those entries are valid, that is, how many of the XML entries have handles that actually do correctly correspond to the names of the symbols in the library. So right now in order to count the entries I am using the value of how many entries were in the XML file but this is wrong, I need a value of how many entries in the XML correspond correctly to a library symbol.
As it stands now, if all the names in the XML file match those in the .fla, all is good. Otherwise, issues. The thing is, I want this setup to be robust so the program takes responsibility and resolves issues if there are errors in the XML. Now, the only way I can see to fixing this simply, is if there is a way to check if a symbol exists in the library -- without actually trying to load it. That way I can count just those symbols from the XML file that also do exist in the library.
I have a name for the object, but it doesn't seem to work.Anyone know why this doesn't work?

View 3 RepliesI'm attempting to make a platform game. Each level is contained within it's own MovieClip, which has it's own class. Each of these classes extend the Level class, which provides basic functionality for all levels.
Each individual level has a numPlatforms variable which stores the number of platforms in that particular level. I currently have a for loop that runs from 1-numPlatforms and sets the level area (the image, more or less) the platform contains:

Is there any way to check if a variable exists within a MoveClip? I've trying comparing it to null and also to undefined, but neither works.
I want to use an external actionscript file for a set of variables for a movie I'm working on.
However, as I cannot guarantee that the external file would be available (it's for our sales reps to use on their own laptops) is there a way of testing for the #included file?
My idea is that the integrated script looks for the external file: if it finds that file, it is used. If the external file is unavailable, the internal script defaults to its own variables.
I have a form that is being created at the point the user clicks on. The algorithm is checking to see if a form exists in the same spot- if it doesnt, new object is created, if it does- result is traced. If no objects are on the stage- a new object is added. For some reason in this code- I get no results for the Mouse_Down event on the form itself. Method being called in main timeline:

View 6 RepliesI have an interface where if the viewer is in a specific set of keyframes, there is specific audio that accompanies the visuals. The code below starts the audio in the specific areas that I need it to be started and stops when I go to a different area - just what I need. However, if they click and then remain in the same section, the audio starts all over. I was curious if there is anything I can do with the below code for it to test if the audio of the section is already playing, and if it is, to allow it to continue playing, and if its in a different section, to stop it and allow the other audio of the section to play.
Code:
function scrubRelease() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onEnterFrame;

When I play a sound on a loop using the sound.play(0,loops) method, the channel doesn't dispatch an event when the sound is completed each time inside the loop - but, only after all the loops are played. Is there a way to check out when each loop is done?
I know there's the way to play only once, and check when the channel dispatched SOUND_COMPLETE and then play the sound again - but this method actually doesn't work as intended, as it creates a really small interval between each loop, which is noticeable and destroys the whole looping effect.
I am making a gun game, and I want to make so that it plays a sound when you click the mouse.I have the sound already imported, and i am using it in an external (.as) file for a pistol. I've spent hours incorporating it into a movie clip, but it either plays over repeatedly or just doesn't even go.Is there any way to do this? Ive tried lots of tutorials before I came here but nothing seemed to work
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to make external streaming audio sound file "mp3" loop. my understanding is that streaming audio won't loop, only works for attached sounds...
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();

This actionscript works but it won't loop..
I know you can use IO_ERROR when trying to catch images or swf's that don't exist ..but what about zip's? Would you try to load each zip and then somehow cancel it after a couple bits have been loaded? I don't know if that's even possible.Is this something that has to be done with a server side language?
