Is there a way in actionscript to determine if something is rotating CW or CCW? I created a knob in Flash but i'm stuck on how to tell which way the user is dragging it?
View 2 RepliesI have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?

We generate a LOT of swfs where I work. We've got a group of people managing putting the swfs into our asset management system. These people do NOT have flash or anything adobe. However, they need to be able to determine the AS setting on the swfs. Is there a tool (preferably cheap or even free) that can be used to determine the Actionscript level of a swf?

Is there any way via Actionscript that I can have a swf determine what URL it's hosted under? For instance, if I put my swf on this site, I want it to behave one way and on another behave completely differently. Make sense?

I'm trying to trigger functions when a mc is on a certain frame, but the code I have doesn't seem to be working.
I have this code on the main timeline
function test (e:Event){
if (test_mc.currentFrame == 6){
trace("test_mc.currentFrame == 6")
}
}
And then in the test.mc itself, on frame 6 I have this code stop();

I'm trying to use NetStream events from an FMS 3.5.4 server but am having trouble. I'd like to simply know when a video is playing, buffering, or idle. I know about Play.Start and Play.Stop, but these can mean the video is playing, or the video is buffering. Buffer.Full and Buffer.Flush can occur when a video is paused, playing, stopped, seeking, etc. I'm scouring over every event I get, but I really see no good way to determine what the exact state of a NetStream is at a given time.
View 1 RepliesWe have a set of FMS's deployed on Amazon's EC2. One of the things we want to be able to do is automatically detect when we should start up another FMS instance. To do that, I've been looking for metrics I could measure on the local FMS box to help me identify "transition" points, e.g., when we should add capacity or remove excess capacity.
I ran some load testing to find out where the capacity limits of a particular box, but ran into a couple of problems[code]...

suppose I have a set of movieclips on stage. Each movieclips has its own name. I can drag one of these and check when my dragged movieclip collide with the other ones. Is there a way to determine the name of the movieclip that was hit by the dragged one without having to use a for-loop statement and/or array?
View 2 RepliesIm working at a school project atm, and i need to know how you determine if a number is even or odd
View 1 RepliesHow would I go about determining the time in-between key presses in AS3? Basically, if a user is tapping the space bar to a beat, I want to be able to average the time in between 10 taps/key presses and get an output time in milliseconds.
My thought was to use an interval and after every press I would add that amount of time to an array. After 10 presses, I would take the average of all the numbers in the array and then output that number.
I am building a menu system. There are 4 main menu buttons for the 4 different pages of the site. When you click on one of these I want to animate the existing menu structure off the page in a fancy way. So each area has an exit animation if you like. The thing is i would only rather have this ONCE in the timeline for each page/area. So would it be possible to play it once and then after it, have a variable to determine where yuo go next that is already assigned a value depending on what button the end user pressed.

This PNG image is rather large, and only a small portion is filled with pixels. Most of the image is transparant.I want to apply the effect only to the part with pixels, so I'd like to create a boundingbox around that part of the image.

I am using the Loader class to load images into a photo gallery. When a user navigates to the next image in the gallery, I need to unload the Loader using the "unload" method and then load the next image.The code for this is simply:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(url...));
My question is if there is someway to determine if a Loader is already loaded? That is, I don't need to unload the Loader if nothing has been loaded so I am wondering if there is some sort of conditional statement I could use to control when the unload method is used.
i have start the timer
timer.start();
how I can determine how much miliseconds or seconds passed , since the timer passed

how to determine if there's a dragged object. Is there a way to do this?

I want to run a php script before continuing to process any more a.s. because the php script creates an xml file on which the a.s. depends. In addition, I need to send a variable to the php script that tells it what kind of xml script it will create.
(i suppose I could just add the rest of the a.s. into a later frame but that sounds like a method when all else fails)
Here's how it works in detail:
1. someone clicks on the "oil" button which means they want to view all the images in the "oil" gallery.
2. A php script creates an xml that includes only the oil images (that''s the variable it must receive from Flash "oil").
3. The php script finishes its job before a.s. script continues
Here's how I started but I'm not even sure what type of "event" is used to listen for a finished php script or where to put the variable parameter[code]...
