ActionScript 2.0 :: Creating Class To Filter Results Actively?
Sep 21, 2005
I'm trying to create some script that will connect to my PHP script, which has searched the database for whatever I told it to....and it will right the results to XML that I send to Flash. What I've been up all night doing is trying to make some kind of class that will allow me to filter those results avtively?
If you're running Firefox:
Go to the address bar and type about:config
When you get there you can filter them by typing any letter
It will return all the results that have that/those letters in them
Notice how it does it for every letter
Actually you can see you preview of it by using the iTunes search feature
I've had enough of these undefined messages in my test output..the same XMLNode object whatever selections worked without the class and now where I could find such a Class or perhaps know better search keywords than iTunes search filter Actionscript Flash Class.
I have a problem that is driving me nuts. I have been googling for the last two days now, but I still haven't found the solution to my problem.
I'm creating a list of courses for an LMS where the data is pulled in from an XML file. All that works perfectly well.
The user should be able to filter the list based on a number of parameters and I have been able to get some of it working (the very simple filters) but other things just wont work.
For example - I am able to filter the results based on the node values that are located directly under the main "course" node. However each of these main course nodes also contain a "sub-node" called "Categories". What I really need is to be able to filter based on the content found in that categories node as well.[code]...
I've created a search with a couple of comboboxes that allow users to filter their search results. The results are currently using a TileList & itemRenderer to display, and now I'd like to add an animation effect when the user filters their results. I know that you can use the itemsChangeEffect to create an animation effect when the user drags and moves result itmes. So I'd like to know if there's a way to create a similar effect triggered by the filtering on the comboboxes?
I am trying to create an array (1-35), mix that array and display the results with a trace. I am getting an error with the following code.
public function generateArray(toNumber : int) : Array { var result : Array = []; for (var i : int = toNumber; i != 0; i--) { result.push(i); [Code] .....
The error(s) are: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method generateArray. 1120: Access of undefined property generateArrays.
I had an existing client ask me about the possibility of building an online quiz. I am fairly adept at working "inside" Flash, but always run into problems when trying to export data "from" Flash anywhere else. I am also trying to figure out if Flash is the best application to build this quiz (I see other possible apps like Captivate, but don't know if they are necessary for what I am trying to do).
What I need to do: I need to create a Login screen to attach the final text score to an individual. Create (50) separate screens for 50 questions with multiple answers for each (simple enough) with submit buttons once the answer(s) are chosen.
Each time an answer is submitted it has a certain "weight" toward the total score (which I am guessing that I could track into a variable inside Flash?) When the test is complete all I need to do is send that Person's Name/Total Score to a database. Is this something best accomplished using Flash?
I do want to filter the first array but I also want them to stay the same. How do I do that? I have tried and intermediary array with no success. After days of trying the work out what was going on in my code
I believe I've got this set up to where you can test it out of the box. (Just add photo.jpg)
If you're getting the same results I am, there's a few things that aren't right. One, the main movieclip looks to be duplicated. The other is it's tracing something that shouldn't be traced, a percentage value and some weird random fraction (1.180283....etc). I've removed all the trace statements, which leads me to ask, is there a Flash cache of some sort? I know in past versions the file size would stay the same unless you renamed the fla file.. there something like that for classes?
I know there's a lot of video keywords, it will eventually load video.
[code]It works when the code is placed right on the timeline of the MC in question.However when i use the exact same code in an external "effects" class file, it does not work.
I am trying for first time actionscript as package document.And I am trying to make run a Doc class that load an XML file and output the results on trace.I don't know where are my errors:
I am creating an order form for my flash site. I have never done this before in flash but I have in visual basic. I have a few questions:
1. Is assigning variable names to checkboxes and radio buttons the same as in visual basic? I mean i know that you probably assign them in the properties. ex..say i name a radio button 'radio1', to run a check in my actionscript whether radio1 was checked or not would it be something like if(radio1){}
2. After the person fills out the form I would like to have the results of the order sent to a pre-specified email adress in a certain format. What would be a good way to do this?
I've been following the "Using the Tween Class Part II". I even looked at the "Applying and Animating Filter Effects". Both of them don't offer much insights to animating a filter effect without the use of rollovers.What I'm hoping to achieve is that the glow filter animates after the object it's attached to finishes its animation.So far, I've got the glow effect to show up. However, I can't get it to animate after the object's motion has finished. The following is how I have the codes set up:
I looked at the following example in the AS3 Reference: [URL] It is unclear to me looking at the package example how to apply this in standard ActionScript 3 without packages to a Movie Clip resident in my Library that gets called at RunTime. how I would push the DropShadow filter onto my Movie Clip at RunTime?
To achieve a zoom effect in our 2D flash game, we make the background of the game much bigger than the visible stage. This becomes a problem when the background is complex or when we apply a grayscale filter to the background. Is there a better way to do zoom? Or, is there a way to apply the filter to only a specific area of a movieclip?
Is there a way to generate an instance of a class that implements an interface based on the name of the class?
I am trying:
var ClassReference:Object = getDefinitionByName("movement.OuterSpaceMovement") as IMovement; var m:IMovement = new ClassReference as IMovement; trace("startup..." + m);
-But I am getting an error message ReferenceError: Error #1065 (OuterSpaceMovement) not defined.
I have several classes that implement the same interface (IMovement) but I need to be able to generate new instances of these classes and then pass these instances as a datatype (IMovement datatype) to other classes...
So then I tried:
var ClassReference:Class = getDefinitionByName("OuterSpaceMovement") as Class; var m:IMovement = new ClassReference() as IMovement; and this doesn't seem to work...but the following var m:IMovement = new OuterSpaceMovement();
I'm trying to create a new instance of a MovieClip when the original one has been used. Would sound easy enough. Just use: var
instanceName:ClassName = new ClassName();
the class name/mc in the library im trying to duplicate is MCg1 so
var instanceName:MCg1 = new MCg1(); right?
However, the particular object in the library i'm trying to duplicate has a base class that is an external class file (just to control it's drag drop functionality)... i.e baseclass is not set to the standard flash.display.MovieClip, or whatever the case maybe. So i end out with a: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I'm creating a slideshow where each slide can have:- a video or a still- 1 audio track or many (up to 3)- 1 button or many (up to 3)I was thinking that each slide can be it's own object, and then I would pass the video, audio, buttons, etc., into it as parameters:
I have a class that represents a turret in the center of my screen.When I hold down SPACE, I want it to create a "bullet"-object that moves in the direction of the turrets cannon, every frame the SPACE key is held down. I am having problems with this cause I am getting this error when I am trying to create the object:
Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
This is where the error occurs:
ActionScript Code: public function chaingun(x_:int, y_:int, rot:int, cd:Number, spd:Number, sprd:Number, life:Number) { this.Cooldown = cd; this.Speed = spd;
[code]....
PS: What happens is that when I press the SPACE key, the "turret" class event handler runs the function "Shoot_Chaingun" and that function creates a new Chaingun-object (which actually is a bullet), that inherits the x, y, and rotation of the turret, along with some additional varaibles, including lifetime. Then upon creation, I use "addChild(this)" to add it to the main stage, and "removeChild(this)" once it's lifetime is up.
EDIT: And also, I just realized I don't have a MovieClip linked to this chaingun class. How do I make sure that every time a chaingun object is made, the MovieClip is also loaded?
I want to create a rectangular box and add it to the stage. Easy enough.
At the moment I create custom classes and attach them to movie clips in the library via linkage, but in my example there is nothing to attach it to as it does not exist. How can I create a "generating class" like this?
I just want to call it with a call like
createRectangle() or possibly have some parameters createRectangle("200", "400")
Version: Flash CS4, AS3 is it possible to turn a given sprite into a Class with a given string as its name? The resulting class should then be available under that name in the current domain's definitions.ie.
createClass(someSprite, "someName"); .... var someClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("someName") as Class;
I am trying to create a class out of some code senocular wrote on another forum. The code controls the changing of a display object from one color to another. It's called InterpolateColor.I have managed to create a class out of the original code but I am trying to make the class static so that I don't have to create an instance of it in my controller class... I just want to access it by importing it at the top and then saying something like ActionScript Code:InterpolateColor.interpolate( _myMC, 0xFFFFFF );The problem, I keep getting errors when I try and change the class initialize line to ActionScript Code:static public class InterpolateColorWhat have I done wrong in my translation to a class that is preventing me from accessing this in a static way Here's the whole class:
first of all i `ve to say, that i am a total beginner in as3.. and also my english is not very well, but i hope u 'll be fiendly to me =) so lets go.. i am thinking about to create a design class for my project .. this class should load a xml-file, which contains some container:
What if you have methods you want to use in your project, that really have no need of a class, or in other words, there is no need for an "object" associated with it. It's not going to have member variables, so why bother making it a class?
for example,
I want to create a randomNumber method, takes two numbers, low high, returns a random between or equal.
Originally in my code I had a very top level class i just called globalLibrary that extended movie clip, i put my randonNumber method there. Then every class in the project extended that. I got the method scoped properly, but to me it looks like a hack.
For example, the most basic functionality in flash like +, even = , trace, etc. Are these also methods defined in some class that we are extending? Or are they methods that have no object associated since that would seem to make just as much sense.
why can't I just create a file of methods, and import that file and have access to these methods?
