If I delete the "onEnterFrame" with this code:
myClip.onEnterFrame=function(){
____if (this._x<300) this._x+=5;
____else delete this.onEnterFrame;
____// to erase it, but you can simply empty it
____// else this.onEnterFrame=null;
}
How can I turn it on again?
I deleted a project in flashbuilder and it seems to have deleted everything. how can i get this back?
View 1 RepliesonEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

any consise methods to restart a deleted onEnterFrame that has been deleted?

I am doing a small test with arrays. I have 5 purple movie clips, their instance names are: p1,p2,p3,p4,p5.
I have declared an empty array called purple. On press of each mc I want the particular mc to be added to the array, and on press again I want the particular mc to be deleted from the array.
However, this does not work, it seems to be deleting the lastly added mc name from the array no matter of which mc I unpress.
I am new with arrays, I am using pop and push. I will upload my file. Could someone have a look at it please? Is there another array command to add and delete the particular mc which is presses and unpressed, and not the one that was last added to the array?

what I have is:
- listener added with weak refference, therefore it shouldn't keep the GC away
- object set to null
- trace of the object m shows null
- debugger shows the value of m as null
But the "frame" trace still keeps on appearing, so where exactly is that object and how to check for it, how to delete it and kill it. I know that listeners keep objects in the memory, but then how to find them, and at the end of the day also used weakReference=true while assigning it, so that should take care of it. What exactly is going on here?
I created a empty folder on my desktop "Test" and then in the create a new project thing I linked it to the test folder, and then in the settings I clicked on delete project folder and it gave me two options and by mistake I selected the second one and then my worst nightmare, all my multimedia files which were on my desktop got deleted. I tried running 5-6 data recover softwares but none of them and I mean none of them found the files deleted by flash. All were showing me the files those were deleted by Shift+Delete, but that I dont want. How can I get those files which were deleted by flash cs5.

View 2 RepliesWe area trying to create a virtual world application. We are using hitTest to make the avatar enter the room. That hitTest event is inside an onEnterFrame event of the avatar so every time the avatar is on the stage it runs the function and detects if it hits the hot spot or not.
So onEnterFrame we have: (shortURL is a variable that points to the movieClip)
Code: Select allif(this.hitTest(shortURL.detectRoom1)){
attachDialogue(1, "room.swf");
}
[Code].....
The code works, however when the user clicks on no, the dialogueBox still appears since the avatar still hits the room's hotspot. If I remove the commented "delete attachDialogue" clicking the no button will remove the dialogueBox movieclip without any problems. However when the avatar walks on other hotspots it doesn't call the function again.
Are there other ways how we can remove the movieclip and set the attachCounter to 0 when the no button is clicked? Or how can we reuse a deleted function?
I'll cut to the chase, here's my code:
Code:
function loadThumbs(){

in my main I have a system that allowed certain classes to be loaded and unloaded. When I load Game.as, it contains a trace statement when you press the left arrow key. When I remove the game instance from the stage, and set it to null, I can still press left arrow key, and the trace will come up. If I then make a new instance of game, it traces twice with only 1 click. When I close/load another time it traces three times.
I very specifically set:
Code:
mainContent.removeChild(game);
game = null;
Even trace statements confirmed that the game was being nullified, and the trace still continued.
I want to draw lines to make a region so that anything inside that region is deleted. The Case : You could say that there are many movieclips in stage but when I just selected by drawing circle or something even complex shape to it purposely then anything inside that shape is just gone.
View 3 RepliesI have this little crumby thing I'm working on. And in it, I draw a circle with a radial gradient fill. Then I add that circle to the array: "colourSplodeArray"

I created an input text box, and depending on what the user enters, it will create a file with that same name. However, for some reason, it's deleting the last character of the filename when it creates the file. For example, if you type "House" in the input text box, then the file that it will create will say "Hous.txt"What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
View 7 RepliesI was working on a large web site in Flash CS 5.5 on my hard drive Mac Pro V10.6.8, 6GB of memory. 176.78 GB of space left on the drive. I had set up the project in the Flash projects panel. I was opening files with"File open" and working on them. I have my fla files in a src folder and my classes in a com folder. This was the setup of my com folder.
I was working in Flash and it crashed, when it started up again. It didn't offer me a temp file and all the files in the com folder have been deleted except for the greensock folder. But even the greensock folder was missing files.
I went to the recent files when I click a file name I got this error. I have searched my hard drive by name for the files and can't find them. They are not in the Trash. I have talked to three different Adobe tech support people in India they all tell me the files can't be recovered and they don't know why it has happened and don't even seem to care that their program has deleted hours of work. I am waiting on yet another tech support person to call me back. Does anyone know why this has happened? I have been working in Flash for 11 years and never had it delete 186 files when it has crashed.

I have a code like this:
<mx:Repeater id="allItemRepeator"
dataProvider="{_model.allItems}"
>
<components:ComponentSelector id="componentSelector"
[Code]....
When code changes for allItems the item disapears from screen as expected but still sits in memory! I know this by a function inside a compoenent that has "trace" so the trace output still displays even after the component disappears from screen. How do I ensure that the element is deleted when it's reference is deleted? Will using List-based component to display items instead of "Repeator" solve the problem (it requires significant refactoring of my code so I'm asking before trying it out)
I was just putting the finishing touches on a flex project that loads files from a second project.
In attempting to delete a second project, I somehow deleted the project I needed. I confirmed that I wanted to delete the files. I have a backup but it is a couple weeks old now. I feel like throwing up.
I have a designed a Flash based interface to send email via PHP.
I capture the variables in Flash using:
var my_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
my_lv.name=name_txt.text;
my_lv.message=message_txt.text;
[Code].....
Everything is working fine, but when the message is received all line breaks entered in Flash message are deleted making the message one long line. Is there something I need to write into my actionscript/php to allow the message to display properly?
I've been working on something of late that will display text the first time the user views it, and the second time, say something different. I've accomplished this using haredObjects. However, it seems that the information (the shared object) isn't removed when the user leaves of closes the browser. I there a workaround for this?

View 3 RepliesI downloaded player from [URL].. but I don't know why what the problem it had with with playlist. I had a playlist in xml file with songs. When i deleted the mp3 from the server, it is still playing. and when i changed the mp3 files it is still playing the original files. I don't know where these files were saved. I thought it was saved in my browser cache and i cleared it but it didn't work. I thought it was cached in my server, but in my localserver , i had the same problem.
So, again i downloaded the player, and this time it played different song, that i put. I have a hypothesis. Does flash player (swf object) absorb mp3 files?? i don't think so but how come player is playing the mp3 that has been changed or deleted? if it was in server cache then how long will it take to clear the cache and play new file. However, i don't remember coding something like 'cache'

I have a question about garbage collection in AS3. Let's say that I create a simple class, Item and link a movieclip in my library to this class. Now, in my main program, I create an array of Item's as follows:
Code:
var problemArray:Array = new Array();
function myTest()[code]....
Have the three references in the array that point to the three objects been deleted??? I made sure to set weak referencing on the event listeners that I attached, so I would think they would be marked for garbage collection. I am used to working in C++ so I usually delete all of the items myself and use a destructor in my classes, but since flash uses the garbage collection, I can't even seem to see what the reference count is to even know if my objects are marked for garbage collection. My thought is that an array is just a space in memory and if I set it to null, that space should be deleted, but I'm not sure if it is truly deleting these references or not.
In my file I have used greensock transform manager class. At he same time I have used a code to generate text field at runtime which can be moved and deleted. Now the problem is that If I select the text box and then select the black box, the text box will lose its selection.Now if I delete the black box the text box will also be deleted . I don't know why it happens every time. But if i select and delete the text box , then only the text box will be deleted, which is quite natural.
