ActionScript 2.0 :: FMX04 - Class Files Not Working
Aug 17, 2004
I have two class files that extend to movieclips......one targets _root.scrolling_mc, the other _root.messages_mc. I have multiple movieclips throughout the presentation with instance names scrolling_mc and messages_mc. This is where it gets interesting. After navigating from a scene with scrolling_mc to a scene with messages_mc, some of the behaviour of the scrolling_mc is still triggering. Its almost as if both class files are working side by side.
I am adding flash galleries toon the Facilities and Gallery pages. On my mac I've tested the galleries using Firefox, Safari, and Opera and they are working perfectly as expected.However, there is no gallery, or error message on PC machines. I do not have a PC so I can't test it, but I've had a Vista and XP user both test the site and the galleries do not display at all.
why this will not allow button to be seen, on MouseOver it simply ignores the Actionscript.
Code:
loadThumbnails = function() { /* Select project nodes from each section in main [i] loop */ //trace("------------------"); allProjectData = myXML.childNodes[i].childNodes;
Is it possible to call a function defined in a movie clip from a class?Here's a sample project setup I'm trying to achieve this simple feat:
func.fla - Has one movieclip "fooinst" which is library item "foo". - The "foo" library item has linkage is to the "Foo" class - The "foo" library item has one script on it's first frame:
I have some files in my src directory, some are .class files (Java class files) and some are .properties files, when I create the Adobe air native installer these files are not included. Why is that? How can I work around that?
Also it excludes .mxml files, but that's good. I'm sure that's related, how to change what it includes or excludes?
I've got an external .as file in the same folder as my flash file. In the process of writing the code, whenever I make a change and then test the movie, the flash movie is obviously still looking at the OLD information. I tried using the "Delete ASO Files" on the menu, to no avail.I can' find these ASO files anywhere on mycomputer.Aha! I tried something else. I quit flash,restarted and ran the same script with no changes. It returned the data correctly, but then gave me this unpleasant message:256 levels of recursion were exceeded in one action list.This is probably an infinite loop.Further execution of actions has been disabled in this movie.There are no loops of any kind in the code, which is below.
//This is the Person.as file: class Person { public var HomName:String = "unknown"; public var HomEmail:String = "unknown"; public var HomPhone:String = "unknown"; public var HomSaveFreq:Number = 0;
I've downloaded some animated .gif images. When I try to import them to Flash and add them to the libary, and then onto my animation, they don't move, just stay still like normal images. Why is this? I've seen people import things such as boats moving across the sea in .gif files and they work in flash, why aren't mine?
I have a 1900 x 1240 .swf file that has a set of buttons on each side. Each button calls for and loads a single movie into a 900 x 600 area in the middle of the screen. I haven't had any trouble setting things up so that the .swf movies, including a converted QTVR file, all load into that 900 x 600 area. One of my buttons calls for a .swf movie that contains a zoom-in and rescale - the link for how this was created can be found at Flash Zoom In Movie Clip and Rescale. The stage for this file is set at 900 x 600. When this Zoom.swf is loaded up by pressing the button, it resizes itself to 1900 x 1240. As well as being annoying, this obliterates the view of all my buttons and interface. I just can't figure out how to make it sit in the middle of the screen at a size of 900 x 600.
I have to work with arather large XML file (about 25Mo).From that XML file (which I CAN'T touch in any manner), I actually need only a couple attributes in each nodes.Parsing the whole XML to load the data will (of course) lead to a "A script in this move is causing Flash Player to run slowly..."Ideally, I would like to browse the XML, only parsing data needed (like you would do in a database...without having to load the whole database before ;-)But I think this is not possible? Isn't it?So, I was wondering: why shouldn't I treat it like a text file, reading it and taking only the info needed from the file?The problem is that I don't exactly see how to do ;-)Following is a copy paste of the first node only...how would you do to read this text and put in an array:name, cloneof and description?etecting the node name, checking that it exists(i.e 'cloneof" isn't present in each node), and filling the array with the value
Code: <game name="puckmana" sourcefile="pacman.c" cloneof="puckman" romof="puckman"> <description>PuckMan (Japan set 2)</description>
I'm trying to learn more about flash, and have found a couple of useful sites.However, I'm having trouble working out how to use their source files, and wondered if anyone here might be able to help please.url...I can't work out how to compile it - I know I need the Five3D files (url...), but even when I download that, and then create a .fla file in the same directory, nothing happens.I am probably missing something very obvious, but I can't work out what to do.There is a .fla file, but there is NOTHING in there that links to the .as file - there is no ActionScript at all I can see if the FLA file, that links to the .as file.
I have an FLA file that is one frame. ActionScript 3 code runs a few functions and when you click on things, other functions run. Pretty basic...I have some buttons and sprites that I would like to use with the external.AS file found here for tool tips: [URL] for my buttons and sprites.If I save the Tool Tip code at the thread above as 'tooltip.as', how do I use that in my FLA? Since I am using an FLA with Actions in Frame 1, I'm not using 'package' keyword... it just starts with import flash.display.Sprite; and goes on to set variables and functions. I'm not using a document class.
If I run the site locally on a web server, it works fine. BUT, when I upload to my hosted server, it stops working.I have an SWF that loads another SWF, using a relative path and as I said, this works perfectly well until I upload it.Any ideas anyone.. has anyone had a similar problem. Am using Actionscript 3 and publishing to Flash Player 10. Just so you know
So I have a project I am working on in which I would like to teach how to cash a scratch off card. I have made the scratch and made it so it will "scratch"
Before: After:
Now I have saved this out and am trying to load this into my "holder" however I am getting an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at ScratchTicket()
I am trying to debug the Flex application. I am able to set breakpoints in mxml file, and application breaks on those breakpoints. But when I set breakpoint in as files, I don't see the breakpoint marker, though in breakpoints window I am shown the line no. And when I start my debugging session, the application does not break at that point.
I had to change my global settings to be able to view my project on my local machine (clicking on index.html and have it open with explorer). Everything runs fine, locally.Videos play, music sings, everything is great.I put it online, no videos will play.All files are where they should be. I've checked 50 times and will do #51 soon.My swf does do some activex calls (this will eventually only be run locally on machines in a wrapper so its like a kiosk)
I have a page in flash 8 that I want to add a preloader to. I have a movie clip with the instance name bioLoader, and this is my code (applied to the bioLoader movieclip, not a frame):
The preloader is on it's own frame and has a stop action on the same frame. There is also a stop action on the first frame of the preloader movie clip. I'm confused because this same preloader has worked on every single other page I've added it to. Another thing is, I believe it is working, but it doesn't show up until the movie is loaded, considering it flickers when the movie plays (and the dynamic textbox shows 100%). In this same swf, I'm loading in text files with loadVars.
Ok, so here's my problem I've used the tutorial here: [URL] to create a preloader for my external images.. But i have a biiiiig problem The preloader work extra-fine with .jpegs from the [URL] but when i try to use the preloader for a file on my hdd.. and after i enable the Simulate Download feature it seems like thing go really crazy.. Because the trace actions say the jpg is loaded.. But in the main stage, it takes some time for the image to appear.. Dunno what this means, and i thought that some of you might know Here's the code
I've written quite a bit of code around flash's webcam and just found out it doesn't work in the projector files (standalone .exe or .app files). I figure it's a security issue? The security panel asking for access to the webcam/microphone doesn't even show up.
All works fine with just the .swf file, except for full screen mode. This project will be in a museum, so it needs to run full screen, and use the webcam to scan in drawn images on paper.
how to get the webcam to work on a stand alone projector file? Or perhaps how to get the .swf to play full screen? I still need keyboard input to be available to take camera snapshots too btw
i'm calling a php file, which is supposed to make an xml file. whenever i call the php file using this syntax, most of the time i get "cannot load file" in the xml loading section, but this updates the xml file.
[code] loadVariables("http://localhost/file.php",this,"POST");[/AS] but when i do it this way. [code] loadVariables("http://localhost/file.php",NONE,"POST");[/AS]
the "cannot load file" messge doesn't get displayed, and the file loads perfectly, but this doesn't update the xml file.
so everytime i have to first use "this" and then "none".
what can i do so that whenever php is called, it'll update the xml file, and still load in the swf.

When I use the code below it works fine and loads the CSS-file and shows the the html-textarea as it should be CSS-formatted. BUT when I try to put the SAME code into a movieclip within another fla-movie it does not work (loads text but not css) and I get un "undefined" all the time. After trying a lot of different things I've come to the conclusion that it MIGHT have soemthing to do with the .onLoad that gets "undefined" in some way. As you can see below I'm getting two vars from input textfields and then use a button to activate the function loadCSS().
When working with MOV files using the h.264 codec and AAC sound I am unable to get netStream.seek to work correctly. No matter what argument I pass to netStream.seek it will always seek to 0. I have this problem on both a legacy as2 and a newer as3 video player I have built. Regular flv work perfectly on both players.
My company is working on a casual game which is entirely made in Flash. To speed up development/compile time we split some of it up into SWC files, for example dialog controls, cutscenes, particle effects are all controlled via SWC files. This was working great up until a few days ago, we have been working on this project for about 8 months with no major problems. However, now all of a sudden, when we compile the game, none of the SWC files work. The game compiles and runs ok, but nothing from the SWC files are working.
The strange thing is that if we remove one of the SWC files from the folder (the game reads all the SWC files from one folder) then the game will work. Even if you remove a SWC which isnt immediately used by the game it will still work. It's almost as if there is some limit to how many SWC files you can have loaded. (There are only 10 SWC files in the folder we are loading from).
However one problem I have encountered is the only way I can make the buttons appear after the video is finished, is by dragging out the single frame of video on the timeline to whatever length in seconds it is multiplied by the number of frames per second.
Is there some way to maintain each linked clip in a single frame and only move to the next frame (which contains the relative buttons) after the video is finished?
A considerable amount of space is used up by .apk files on my phone with apps which cannot be moved to the sdcard (Adobe Flash and Google Maps). In those directories, there are .apk files. Can I delete these to save space and have the application work as it did before?
Like any of it's simple, but here's what I've got...I'm doing my loadVars, everything's going peachy, but now I want to swap the variable. I've got a bunch of vars in a text file, and here's how I'm doing it right now...
Code: on (release) { output1.text = myLoadVar.name2; }
Now, this works ok, but with as many vars as I'm planning for, I'd like something that I didn't have to make a ton of frames just to have it run.
Code: on (release) { output1.text = myLoadVar.(name('prevnum'+1)); }
Im making my first flash game so forgive me if there is anything with my actionscript or my explaining that is messed up.
This game is a 4 player (<--will be) tank game that fires bullets and stuff. so far its working just how i want it to apart from one thing... the duplication for the bullet. This snippet of the script is the bit that should make the bullet firing. if you look at these to bits of script "_root.depth += 1;", "duplicateMovieClip(_root.bullet, "bullet"+depth, depth);" to my understanding the "depth" should increase BUT it doesn't? does anyone know what is going on?
var u = clips.clip1.getDepth(); clips.clip1.duplicateMovieClip("clip1clone", u-1);
the problem is that clip1clone is not generated. I think it has to do something with path, I have to add somehow a path to clip1clone? I tried 0 instead of u-1 but it didnt work so I guess the problem is with path?
