ActionScript 2.0 :: Function Not Created Inside If Statement
Jul 1, 2010
[code]...
now when you first look at this code.. it looks perfectly fine right? .. well if you use this exact code and place a clip on the stage with an instance name of 'mc' .. publish and rollover 'mc'... the trace statement does not show.. is there something I never read about with respect of creating functions inside if statements??
I would think you could use the function name(){ syntax.. and not be forced to using variableName = function(){ syntax in creating functions inside if statements..

Objetcs created inside a function are automatically marked for garbage collection if not referenced anywhere else? Let´s say, I have a class called SubClass. in the constructor I create some displayObjects.Then I instatiate SubClass somewhere. When I remove this SubClass instance, will the objects inside be marked for garbage collection?

I am trying to create a gallery where each thumb is housed inside of it's own movie clip that will have more data, but it keeps failing because it won't let me refer to the newly created instance of the movie clip. Below is what I am trying to do.
var xml:XML;
var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

It dies every time on that last line. How do I refer to that vidThumbn instance so I can add the imageLoader? I don't know what I'm missing. It feels like it should work.

I have a script which is giving me a lot of trouble since I have no idea how to write another "if statement" inside another if-else statement. I keep getting errors, I guess I don't know where to put the braces exactly...
example:
if(bla == bla) {
<------------how would I write another if statement here?
}else if (bla == bla){
}

How do you get a True/False statement to be recognized inside a movie clip with a button on the main timeline as the control. I want my movie clip to stop at the last frame if the movie clip reaches the last frame. Otherwise gotoAndStop at the first frame of the clip. I was using
on (press) {
_root.m1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.m2.gotoAndPlay(1);

I recently built a preloader using the MovieClipLoader object. I used the following events: OnLoadComplete, OnLoadProgress and onLoadStart. I registered my listeners etc and then I decided I wanted to get a bit fancy. So I decided that within the onLoadProgress I would add an"if" statement, this if statement would basically say if the loaded content equals 70 then animate the preloader graphic off the screen using tweening (very simple). The onLoadProgress is continuously called while the content is being loaded but it seems that it does not want to correctly execute my if condition.
Here is the code for the onLoadProgress.
loadListener.onLoadProgress = function (target:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {
trace("onLoadProgress");
txtLoaded.text = String (Math.floor (bytesLoaded / bytesTotal * 100)) + "% loaded";
mcProgress._xscale = bytesLoaded / bytesTotal * 100; // address the bar

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:
ActionScript Code:
var iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;

I'm trying to create a movieclip and load a "frame" image inside of it, then create another movieclip inside of the first, and then load another picture inside of the second. Something like this:
var thumbFrame;
var thumbPicture;
thumbFrame = container_mc.createEmptyMovieClip(thumbFrameName, 1);[code]..........
But it doesn't seem to work the way I want: the "thumbPicture" doesn't appear on top of the "thumbFrame" as I expected... only the "thumbFrame" shows (with it's image succesfully loaded). Am I missing something?
EDIT: If I comment this: //thumbFrame.loadMovie("thumbFrame.png");
The thumbPicture.jpg shows inside of the first movieclip, so maybe the issue is with the .loadMovie?

I create a super simple .fla using flash MX 2004 professional. I put this code under the button I created.
on (release) {
var mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("trianglemajor", 1);
mc.createEmptyMovieClip( "triangle", 5000);
with (mc.triangle) {
lineStyle (5, 0xff00ff, 100);
[Code] .....
I just see a blank screen when I click on the button. My objective is to show the movieclip mc inside my created scroll pane?

I'm wondering if there is a limit as to how may if else you can put in a function. I have a form that never seems to fire the last if else on the first load. It will work once I've run through the form, and all of the times after that, but never on the first try. In other words, when I test the form for the first time, if # 5 never kicks in. But after the form has sent, I can run the form again and if # 5 will work like I want it to. I did add .tabIndex to the form because it wouldn't originally tab the way I wanted it to and I wondered if this might be part of the problem. I also tried moving the if else statements around, but that didn't seem to make any difference. Does it only read 4 if's at a time?
Here's the code:
// add evenlistener for submit buttonsubmit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ValidateAndSend);
function ValidateAndSend(event:MouseEvent):void{
// if #1
if(company_txt.text ==""){
company_name_mc.gotoAndPlay("red");

I am trying to make a dropdown menu where the user hovers over a bar it gets larger with more links then when they roll off it disappears. I am struggling to get my links to only appear when the menu is extended.. atm they show all the time. I thought it might be possible to have the btn function inside of the mouse event but it doesn't work.
Code:
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var emptyMc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
function mouseMove(event:MouseEvent){
if(mc.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true))
[Code] .....
I also would like to call an array at some point to go to the dynamic text field for my links.

In the main timeline I have this onEnterFrame function. I also have this movieclip and in it's own timeline stops at frame one. When this movieclip is rolled over it plays and then stops at frame 9. I'm trying to make an if statement in the onEnterFrame function that says when that one movieclip is on frame 9, delete the onEnterFrame function.
I tried to do this code, but so far all I have is
if (movieclip._currentlabel = "framenine") {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

so I am trying to embed xml files for a game based on the button I select. I assume I would need an event listener, however I do not know how the function should look.
Code:
[Embed(source="folder/jonesy.sng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
[Embed(source="folder/markysng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
[Embed(source="folder/John.sng", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
The instance name for the button is "jonesy", "John" , "Marky". I would like when the user selects the button jonesy, the above code is activated.
If the user selects " John, or Marky" the corresponding embed code for those are loaded.
I have
Code:
jonesy.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whichxml);
John.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, whichxmljohn);
function whichxml (e:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
this isnt' working though. Not sure what is missing, or if it just needs to be an IF Then statment.I guess embeds have to go on the intro frame, or first frame? But, the problem I have is that, I have so many embeds it is freezing the whole game.

Im dynamically creating an instance of a movieclip, call it a game piece. This game piece has 4 frames, each with a movieclip called base(although one is red, one blue, one green, one yellow). When the game piece is created I set the frame to indicate player color. Im also changing the alpha of base to 1.0 when its being dragged, 0.5 when its dropped.
Using the following code, everything works fine if the game piece color is set to the base in frame 1 (red). If the game piece is created and the timeline moved to a frame other than 1, I throw an error when trying to access base.alpha (this would be the second, third, and fourth instances of base in the game piece timeline). Heres the strange part, this is only a problem when the game piece is first created and added to the display list. Once created, even after the error has been thrown, I can access the alpha of bases 2, 3, and 4 in the drag start/stop listeners. Heres a link to the work in progress, and the relevant sections of code (shortened for brevity, t1 is the top left piece on the pallet, others just repeat the same code):[URL]

I'm just trying to make a simple function that will return all the data from my SQLITE database as an array. But it looks like when my function is returning the array, the SQL statement is actually still executing... so it's empty... Does anyone have a suggestion? Or am I just going about this whole thing wrong.I know I could just have the event listener functions outside this function, and they could then set the data. But i'm trying to make a AS3 Class that holds all my SQL functions, and It would be nice to have everything for this particular function just in one function, so it can return an array to me.
public function getFavsGamesArray():Array
{
getFavsArraySql.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, res);

I have a bunch of event listeners that refer to different movieclips but trigger the same function.I have an if statement within this function that I need to trigger if the function is triggered by a specific movieclip.
ActionScript Code:
//movieclip stuff....
addChild(backgroundPoint);
backgroundPoint.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animateBall);
[code]....
I know I could just create two separate functions but the code within the function (not shown here) is fairly long and I dont like repeating code.
