ActionScript 2.0 :: Detecting Changes In Variable?
Jan 10, 2010
I'm trying to make this fluid preloader that uses tween classes to change the size of the bar instead of just using something likegotoAndStop(percent)I have the tween class working but need a way for it to detect the change of the percentage variable. Here's what I'm trying to get it to do:Current percentage is at 55, this is set as the "currentPercent" variable. It suddenly jumps to 65%, the "currentPercent" variable would change to 65 while the "prevPercent" variable would stay at 55 so the tween class could have a beginning and ending value.

Can I detect a change to a variable (a data string)?
I am making a AS2 SWF (player level 7) with a combobox page navigation. I have a page name variable that I am changing from outside of the SWF with Director and Authorware using (I believe) FlashVars. The variable (internally) is set by default during SWF initialization. The external variables values allowed are always one of the combobox's data field values. The combobox default variable is not always index positon 0 (zero). Or the order of the data either. The variable can get changed internally by the nav combobox used for navigation independent of the external variable. - this works When the shared nav var is changed from the external source, the combobox needs to change to the match the corresponding combobox's data variable. This is what I am trying to do. I can change the combobox setting programatically (index) but not get it to recognize it as a change event. Or tell it programatically
Can the combobox be selected by the data variable or is the only option to use the index (and loop through index values to match variable to data field)?
And update the combobox selection (and as a result the nav page) by triggering a change event programatically?
Detecting the var change cleanly without the OnEnterFrame trick is my goal - if it even works in the version I have to use (flash palyer 7).

I define a global variable in a swf and then launch a child window which will alter the value of the global variable and I want the parent to detect that event and take specific action. How should I go about this? Can global variables launch events?

Let's say I have a class, and I created a new object of this class in my document class. Inside this class, there is a public variable. How would I be able to detect a change in that public variable?

f you know PHP...then you know that you can create a string variable...and then use the value of that variable to declare another variable. like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$i{$foo} = "success";print $i{haha};?>
and it would display "success"...or like this:
PHP Code:
<?php$foo = "haha";$$foo = "success";print $haha;?>
and it would also display "success".

how to detect the end of an flv playback. I am loading in a flv to a webpage, using the FlvPlayBack component. Everything is working fine as to be expected. How do I insert a credits image to display once the flv has finished? Users would need to be able to restart the flv playback too. I have been looking at cuePoints etc...

I have embedded a swf into a another swf using Loader & URLRequest methods, which work fine.
To detect whether the swf has ended I define it as a MovieClip. Then I check (using an ENTER_FRAME event listener) if the current frame is equal to the total frames. This works fine for a swf with a simple animation in the timeline (what I was testing on). However:
If I use the same method for a swf with a streaming flv inside it, it gives me a runtime error: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Play_Intro@20d71b51 to flash.display.MovieClip.
If I define it as a Sprite- it plays without any errors, but then how do I detect when the swf is at the end?

I am trying to implement paged recordsets in a datagrid and since I've not been able to find a way as a standard feature of as3 (recordset type was not provided in as3) - I'm cooking my own.The only problem I have is knowing when additional records should be requested. I need to be able to tell when the scroll bar or other method is used to scroll the datagrid down to the end (or near the end).

So for a site I would like to have 2 swfs, mainContainer(just has preloader) and index(contains all assets)
This will allow me to have a nice, 0%-100% preloader.
However during development I will just be publishing index. So to start my chain of functions, I have my document class for index like this:
ActionScript Code:
public class index extends MovieClip
{
var path:MovieClip;
[Code].....
However, this will fail when index is loaded in to mainContainer, because the code gets run before I addChild on to the mainContainer displayObject.
So I need a way to detect whether index is loaded or not in another swf. How's that possible?? There doesnt seem to be an easy way.

Basically it's a browser window scaleable flash movie, that most of it's elements move position to each RESIZE event. But a part of it is pretty cpu heavy, so I want that to only update when the user have stopped resizing.
I have not found anything about this in the forums and the solutions I've tried are not working.
- tried MOUSEUP event on stage, but the mouse is off the stage, so it doesn't register.
- tried a timer that measures the stop of movement of the mouse, but mousX/Y is not measured when mouse is off the stage.
UPDATE: mouseX/Y might not work, but stage.stageWidth is updated. But still not a very nice solution

Im having a problem with some rollover code im using for a movieClip, basically if the mouse runs over to fast the rollover animation is played but not the rollout as the mouse has left the SWF area. Is there anyway of telling where the mouse is on the screen so i can run a check to see if its in the swf or not and then run code accordingly.

The thing is, when the application is lunched, I use a PHP file to create the thumbnails and save them on the server to save loading times the next time the application is loaded. That way, my company can run it before showing it to the client, and the client will have a shorter loading time on his end, since the thumbs will already be done.
Problem is, I also have to plan the eventuality that the application won't be run on a server, and so far, I haven't been able to detect this, or catch an error that would mean I'm not on a server.

I need to use the same flash menu for 2 different languajes. The swf menu are just buttons with photos but is there a small text that should reflect the current page languaje
IE:
index.htm should have menu.swf in english but index_spanish.htm should have menu.swf and show only the texts in spanish.
I though just using dynamic txt fields with a var name "lang" to set the text to "buttonname" or "nombredeboton" depending on what page the swf is located.
So what I need is a method to swf detect whether the page is english or spanish (perhaps based on browser url?) that way I could use just one swf file for both languages.

I thought I had a nice way to do this, but it's not always accurate for some reason. I was using (where myNumber is a number):
evenOrOdd = myNumber % 4; // 4 or any number
if (evenOrOdd == 0) {
// Number is even
}

I was working on some simple keyboard movement for an AS3 game, but running into trouble. Some keys would work, some won't!.I started a new flash just to test the keyboard, and confirmed what I was seeing. Some keys like "D" will work, while others like "A" don't seem to. Here is the code from the keyTest program.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]..
So when I press D or W, this flash outputs "68 down" or "87 up" or whatever as intended. But if I press keys like A or S, it outputs nothing. Wut?

I'm trying to write a script that will check to see if an image or video file exists in an external directory. If the file is detected, then a new MC will be created and the file will be imported into it. If the file is not detected, then nothing will happen.
