ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Changed Text Value From Frame 1 Assigned To Frame 2
Jun 9, 2009
a_modified_dog suggested, and was kind enough to provide working code in the thread, Assign text to dynamic text fields on different frames, using the "onChanged" event placing code in the main time line of both frames 1 and 2 of a Flash Actionscript 2 movie. The "onChanged" event has been designed apparently for input style text fields only - requiring the user to input text. The code example provided works well for that sequence. But my intended sequence of user events does not permit the user to input a text value. The "onChanged" event does not work with the following intended sequence of user actions:
(1) the user makes a selection from a scrolling list of items that appear within a movie clip (MC1) on frame 1. The list is comprised of a number of selectable buttons.
(2) When the user clicks a button (BTN1) contained in MC1, the onRelease event assigns a string value to a text box (TXT1) within a separate movie clip (MC2) on frame 1. (this is working well)
(3) the user then clicks a stand alone button (separateBtn) on frame 1 that invokes a "gotoAndStop" at frame 2. (no problem)
(4) The text (TXT1) from within the movie clip (MC2) on frame 1 needs to be assigned to a text box (TXT2) on the stage of frame 2. (BIG PROBLEM)
I've played with both dynamic text fields and input text fields. Using the "onChanged" event works well with input text fields IF the user actually enters text into the input text box. Using the intended sequence, a text value is being assigned to TXT1 in MC2 by a button "onRelease" event from within MC1. This same text value (TXT1) should also appear in the text box TXT2 on frame 2. I've tried both input and dynamic style text boxes for TXT1. Both work well for showing the assigned text string on frame 1. Both styles also, when advancing to frame 2, show "undefined" in the corresponding text box (TXT2) on frame 2. Neither input or dynamic style of text box seem to recognize the "onChange" event - from having no text when starting up to having text within TXT1 dynamically appear after the user makes their selection from the button (BTN1)event (onRelease) in MC1.I tried assigning the text in TXT1 on frame 1 to a variable (var_txt1) - in the main time line - and having TXT2 on frame 2 read and assign the variable to TXT2 (TXT2.text = var_txt1), scripting also on the main timeline of frame 2.. Again, all attempts result in "undefined" appearing in TXT2 instead of the variable value (var_txt1). Using 'trace" on frame 1 shows the correct value for the variable (var_txt1). When advancing to frame 2, "trace" shows "undefined".

I'm trying to pass text from an input text in frame 1 to a dynamic text field in frame 10. Thus when the user enters text and clicks the submit button it takes them to frame 10 and shows them what they typed. It's not working but I'm not getting any errors. Here's the link:

If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?

I have a small flash tidbit that is basically used like a menu. It scrolls through the thumbnails left and right, when clicked the pages navigates to the appropriate location. However, the flash movie jumps back to the beginning of the movie. Is there anyway I can get it to stay in the same spot when the page is changed? I tried using iframes, but this did not work out, it had the same result. ref:[URL] to see the problem scroll the images to the right and select 'wall boarder buddy' (fourth image from the left) this takes you the page and the flash resets to its original position.

I have my flash on multiple scenes, and would like to play an animation when clicking on the navigation button before switching to a different scene.
I'm halfway to accomplishing this.
Here is what i used
Code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("changepage1");
_root.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(this._currentframe=="changepage2"){
[Code]....
The above code is on a blank keyframe. Changepage1 is the start of the animation and Changepage2 is the end of the animation.
Upon clicking the navigation button it plays the above scenes.
However it doesn't change scenes to scene "Home2".

I hope I can ask this correctly. I'll paraphrase.
press_mc.onRelease = function(){
mover2_mc.play()};
This is a snippet of some code I'm working on. Currently I have a mc that you press that plays another mc. That mc that reacts has 5 frames, each frame with stop(); on each frame. I do a normal play code because it lets me play through and cycle back to frame 1 after frame 5 (so if I click the mc it eventually cycles back to the first frame and starts the process over again). If I do a nextframe it stops at frame 5, so that's why I use play.
press_mc click on it and it tells mover2_mc to advance a frame and recycles back to frame one to redo the process.Can I tell press_mc to play and skip a frame or to have it play a list of frames that I tell? I can't do a _currentframe +2 because it'll halt at frame 5.

I have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?

I need to determine when the first swf has finished to load the second and so goes on but I couldnt find a way to even trace de current frame in the timeline of my external swf.How can i determine the current frame in the timeline of a external swf?even with a enter frame event to check the current frame has not workedIve even build up a class to give the parameters to the main SWF but has not worked.I need to compare the current frame with the total frame and when got the last frame, and the end of the animation, unload this first movie and load the second.

I have let's say 6 frames now, but will be adding more and want a different frame to load each time the browser is refreshed, randomly. I've done this in AS2, but need code for AS3.

I'd been working on a side-scrolling shooter game in AS2 for a while and it was going great, but for whatever reason, it scrolls all choppy and the framerate is inconsistent on faster machines. I would have expected the opposite, but it is what is is, I guess. So I'm trying to finally learn AS3, and I found some tutorials that got me started towards remaking what I had, but now I'm stuck.I'm trying to make one of those rotating cannons that shoots projectiles towards the mouse cursor. I have the rotation part working, but I'm having trouble with attaching the projectiles to the stage with enterFrame actions on them.I feel like I'm pretty close to a solution, but I don't understand where to put the functions to move the clips to make them work properly. In AS2, I just put something like this on the cannon clip:
Code:
bullet = _root.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+_root.bullets, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:nozzledot.pointx, _y:nozzledot.pointy});

Just finally making the transition from AS2 to AS3.All i need to do at this point is make two buttons which will control the movie to goto next frame and previous frame. I have gotten how to make the buttons go to a specified frame number and also a button to go to a specified external url but no success in making a simple next/previous pair of buttons.

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.
