find out where the play head is?
I'm trying to do something like this
Code:
if(_root.movie.currentPlayHeadPosition == 1) doSomething();
Its been a long time since I last did any flash, can anyone jog my memory on how to get the current frame?
I'm working on a new website it's going to show a room & I think it would be kinda cool if this room had a window in in that outside showed the current local weather and portrayed day/night. I can make a script to check the weather on yahoo but I cant find a way of finding out the users location. It does't need to be exact, even just having the country will do.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make this script work in which two things should happen onRlease of a movie clip. The "transition" plays but frame 18 doesn't..even though the path is right. I even tried frame label even that doesn't work.I must be doing something wrong, maybe you can detect from this script. The script is on the clip itself.[code]
View 7 Replieswould like flash to trace something when the play head goes over a frame label named "test" I would also like to have the code placed on the first key frame. I realize that the easiest way out would be to place the trace statement on the frame with the label on it but I'm trying to run this with a listener.
PHP Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkFrame,false,0,true);
function checkFrame(event:Event):void

anyone can offer me a way of housing an XML return in a seperate object, so that the flash movie in question doesn't hang around waiting for the feed to come back.The problem is we have an asp app which is returning the status of about 1000 citrix terminals at once.... while this only takes 10-15 seconds to return, any kind of animated loader i build into the movie, stops playing while flash holds on the XML return, as the http response status never responds dead, but says "waiting" instead.Any kind of way of adding the XML load script as an object listener maybe...?

View 2 RepliesIm having a small problem with a 2d array Ive been coding for sometime now previous to actionscript Ive programmed in Java and Ive always accessed 2d array elements in the following way
Myarray[column][row]
Column before Row
X before Y
Width before Height
Im working on a project where I want to pre declare array elements something I haven't had the need to do before and Im using the following syntax to achieve this
var myarray:Array = [[0,1,0],
[1,1,1],
[0,0,0]];
Im writing it this way so that its clear how the information will be seen on screen as the 1's in the array will be converted to images the 0' denote a absence of an image.The problem Ive got is in order to access these elements I have to write Myarray[row][column] And I would much prefer to access it column first Myarray[column][row] as its what im used to and its too head banging to change over.Is there anyway to declare the array how i am doing now ie
c c c
var myarray:Array = [ r [0,1,0],
r [1,1,1],
r [0,0,0]];
And then twist the array something like this (note! not code syntax just a visual representation)
c c c
[0 [1 [0 r
1 1 1 r
0] 0] 0] r
Is there a method in as3 to achieve this or does anybody know of any short simple code to do it with
I don't really know how to describe this problem but I'm going to give it a try. I am working in Flash cs3 using as3. I have a project with 5 scenes and button nav to jump between them. When I test the project scene 1-4 play fine however when I get to scene 5 the playback head doesn't move, it just stays parked on frame 1 (button nav works, animation does not). When I re-arrange the stacking order of my scenes the same problem will occur in a different scene that had previously played fine. This issue only occurs when i test the whole movie - if I test any scene by itself it plays fine. I am not getting any AS errors which adds to the frustration

View 5 RepliesThere's a lot of talk of how the new Event Flow makes for easier communication between classes.This sounds swell,but nowhere is it properly explained. Every example I find concerns dispatching events within the same class or looped through a customEvent, but I need a way to tap into this Event Flow for backward communication.I have a mainGUI document class that distributes my application subclasses.How do I set up a listener within mainGUI that gathers certain events from any of its children or grand-children? And how can I use this line to post object properties?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX (2002) and I need to get my variable values saved to a server each time my test subjects run and finish my swf/fla (PHP scripts and a .txt file on the server are being worked on, but that's a different nightmare!). I'm pretty sure I should use LoadVars, NOT SharedObject for this data capture right?. The data must not be overwritten each time over the course of a few months of data collection.
The 3 variables are: username (name of the user), counter (this keeps track of which version the user chooses from the start menu), numcorrect (keeps track of the number of times the <right> arrow key is pressed).
I don't know where to put in the LoadVars obj (in the AS code of "finaldisplay" frame?) AND I don't know how to build/format the LoadVars object to capture the data in the 3 variables I listed above.
I want "rain drops" to fall randomly and then when they hit the bottom most pixel of my stage to run another movie clip called "splash" so it looks like it is raining and the "drops" could fall and "splash" at the bottom of the stage.

This happens only when the page is running in Facebook IFRAME application - when running solo works fine. Naturally, on FF and Chrome everything works just fine. The SWF is embedded using jSWFObject. There's no visible common feature to the machines which experience this problem - laptops, desktops, XP, Vista, 7.

Been creating a scroll bar for images. the issue is i cant seem to get sensible stop parameters for the ends of the scroll and scroll bar button. my formulae just wont tie in with the positions at extreme left and right of content/button movement.
The number of images scrolled in the scroller is set by a txt file and is currently at 16, but this is to be changeable. that bit is not an issue, just the scroll parameters. Oh and the Images are in an "images" folder - surprisingly!
