I need to flash a series of words for 2.5 seconds with a pause for .5 seconds. The words are drawn from an array that is assigned, but I need to have these words flash in a particular order.For example, if the "words" were A, B, C, D, E (each of which I've assigned a stored value), I might need to show A C E B A A F.
View 3 Repliescan someone show me a simple "randomize array" function. maybe a prototype that just returns a randomized version of an array such as:
[Code]...
I started on one myself but got stuck when, in the prototype, looping through "this" also counted the function being passed, as well as the elements of the array, and i can't seem to remember why it does that.
var answer_array:Array = new Array();
var wordsLoader:XML = new XML();
wordsLoader.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code]....
All of the values in my array are coming up "undefined".
I have a sentence that's basically items from an array, and I have this line that when I type one of those words on it, that word is removed from that sentence/array. And I'm having trouble coming up with a function, I'm trying to make it an if statement.so far I tried: and I know I need to put splice in, but this is just to see if it works or not.
ActionScript Code:
if(enterWordLine.text == sentenceLine.text)
{
[code]......
I want something where I click a button, and it replaces words with other synonyms automatically. My thoughts are:
set up array
(array1=array2)
array1="word1","word2","word3"
array2="word1","word2","word3"
search text for word in array1
if find in text= word in array1
replace with random word in array2
Would anyone know how to set this up, or point me in the right direction?
I have a text file that has a large list of words. Each word is on its own line but has no commas or any punctations in between.Can I turn this file into an array with each word being a string in the array?Can I do this without manually putting commas in between each word?
View 1 Repliesis it possible to have an array of words, and then, with another set of code, to have those words randomly animating (perhaps from the distance, to closer up, like a zooming non-blurred effect) on the stage?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to split a string like "Lorem ispum dolor, sit amet. Howdy doody." into an array of words without commas and periods, in one operation?I've tried words:Array = startString.split(String.fromCharCode(32,44,46));i guess the reason my example doesn't work is because it searced for " ,." to split the string.

A fellow advanced programmer and I have teamed up and were assigned a very difficult image transition effect for a Flash website banner. I will do my best to explain what it needs to do. First off, there will be several pictures(backgrounds) for the banner, and they will transition into each other via a sort of Grid-like flip effect. Visually, it will be as if the picture was divided into squares, and each individual square (top-bottom, column by column for now), will flip over, and on the backside of each square will be the corresponding portion of the "Next Image". To clarify, I will try to create a visual...Picture this: a puzzle, only the pieces are square (for simplicity). The puzzle is 2 sided. You take each individual square piece of the puzzle, starting left-right and flip them over. Once your done flipping over the pieces, you have a whole new picture! I have done my best to mock up a photoshop image of what the effect will do:

I would like an .fla which has been completely composed/coded and allows the playhead to randomly jump to frame labels in a timeline so that I can see the code in action. I have tried many, MANY, methods and have failed. With little hair left, I humbly come to you for your wisdom... Perhaps I should mention the first frame in my movie contains a loader mc/script.
View 2 RepliesI have a flash ecard that I am working on and had one of those "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments!
I would like find out if it is possible to:
1) load in an xml file that contains several names
2) Load each one of those names into a predefined movie clip which would display the name
3) randomize the placement of each name in a given shape area so that the Movie clips with names would randomly fill in to make a specific shape.
I have an AdvancedDatagrid which gets populated by an ArrayCollection. I ordered the ArrayCollection by date (one of its properties), so it shows from past to future. The thing is, if I refresh the GroupingCollection (for immediate display in the datagrid) After the Sorting of the ArrayCollection, the ordering of the dates in the ArrayCollection gets scrambled again, but displays the populated AdvancedDatagrid immediately. So in sum: from ArrayCollection > Sorting > Refresh the GroupingCollection > Populates the Adv.DataGrid, but the ArrayCollection is not sorted anymore.
View 2 RepliesI have a movice clip of a container "traveling" down a conveyor belt. I duplicate this movie 30 times (to simulate 30 items moving down the line). The code I'm trying is below.My problem. When the 2 duplicate clip item is created - I want to pause the duplication, (stopping items on the conveyor belt) play a movie clip (next to second item to explain what has happened), then continue duplication, stop duplication again at eighth item, (do similar to #2) play another movie clip - then continue all duplication until I hit 30. At which point they all start falling off the conveyor belt.
// NOTE, this is a movie clip, not on the main timeline...so all control needs to happen in this movie clip's timeline
delay = 1
count = 0
i = 0

I want to have a button that pauses the flash movie. When clicked, the flash movie stops and another animation plays.Specifically Im making a flash movie about the evolution of geometry for my math class. Animations are going to be playing, and when my teacher clicks the Info button, a screen pops down with the related information about the scene playing.

I want to make an instructional video with various panning, cursor movements, and info box popups. I'm going to attempt to do this video in all actionscript and expect to use the Timer class and Tweener for all the tweening. What's the best way of approaching a project like this? Can Tweener be stopped in between its tween in order to pause?
View 3 RepliesI recently made a flash file with a fps of 24 with a motion tweened oobject which moves from below and stops when it's already on the upper part. the only code i added is the stop(); on the last frame. When I Shift+Enter it, the motion tween works flawlessly. The problem is, when I Ctrl+Enter it, the motion tweened object suddenly pauses three times in the middle part.
All images included have "Allow Smoothing" checked.

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make Flash automatically focus on an input textfield (not the TextInput component object, but a textfield object with type set to input) when the user enters the page. I want it so they can type straight away without actually having to click inside the textfield. Previously in AS 2.0 you could use Selection.setFocus("textfield_txt"); but in AS3 is it possible?

View 1 RepliesIn as2, I have a button that attaches a movieclip with inside some input text fields (a mail form). Now, as the tweening ends for the movieclip to actually appear (I set the _alpha to 0 as he's been created and change the value to 100 with a tween), I call a function for setting the focus on the first input text field:
Code:
function setTheFocus(){
Selection.setFocus(_root.mailtext.namex);
trace(Selection.getFocus())
}
Where 'namex' is the istance name of the input text field. The getFocus trace returns positive, so the focus is there but ... there is no flashing bar within the field. If I write something, the text appears in the right text field and the flashing bar appears. I can't get why there is no flashing bar without typing anything, even if the focus is set.
I want the user to know the text input box is inputable, how can I add the text cursor to the box?
View 7 RepliesI'm in the process of switching from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0, so apologies if this is really obvious.. I am modifying/updating an old template for a client and am inserting customized navigation buttons. One is a play/pause button and I was able to swap the old buttons for the new in the library and show them on the stage with no problems. When I export to swf to preview the movie, the new button just flashes repeatedly between the different "play" and "pause" states (up, over, etc).
I checked to make sure I didn't change any names of the buttons or movie clips. I tried inserting stop(); but it doesn't work...probably because I'm not putting it in the right spot. When I select the button, it has "up, over, down, hit" in the Timeline and says the selection can't have any actions applied to it.
