ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Get EnterFrame Disappear Then Reappear
Jan 27, 2012
I have some stars in my flash file. I want them to dissappear when I get to the final frame. Can I delete the enterFrame? Then how do I make it re appear again?
Code:
var numStars:Number = 15;
for (i=1; i<=numStars; i++) {
_root.attachMovie("star", "star"+i, i, {_x:Math.random()*Stage.width, _y:Math.random()*Stage.height, _alpha:Math.random()*100});
_root["star"+i].rotSpeed = Math.round(Math.random()*8+2);
[Code] .....

Here's a snippet of code I am working on. I have two buttons symbols, instantiated as 'up' and 'down.' There is a movie clip object instantiated as 'circle.' Up and down are supposed to respectively raise and lower circle's alpha gradually using a timer.
Here's my code:
var upTimer: Timer= new Timer(100,10);
var downTimer: Timer= new Timer(100, 10);
up.mouseEnabled= false;
upTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, appear);
function appear(e:TimerEvent):void{
[Code] .....
The problem is that I can only make alpha disappear and reappear once, and then the the program stops functioning the way I want. I press down and then up, and it works but then after wards the alpha on circle only goes up and down a little bit. Why?

I am making a few language flash cards in adobe flash cs5 with as3. the flashcard is a movie clip and when you push a button (located on the bottom left hand corner of the flashcard) the movie clip flips the card to give the translation. it looks a little unprofessional to have the button stay in place while the card flips. is there a way to make the button disappear for the duration of the movie clip, and then reappear at the end?

Is there a way to show parts of a movie clip in different areas of the stage? Like if a sprite was to leave stage left and reappear stage right?

I'll try to be brief. I've built a teleprompter projector file app in Flash CS4 and it works great on PCs & MACs. Only one bug. the program works in three phases: Welcome & instruction screen / Text input screen / Prompter screen.Problem occurs when you first enter prompt screen
basic navigation and functionality includes:
BUTTONS: button to return to INPUT screen, a BEGIN button, a MIRROR text button, and a SAVE prompting position KEYBOARD: SPACE begin prompting, LEFT & RIGHT ARROW increase & decrease font size, UP & DOWN ARROW increase & decrease scrolling speed, HOME returns script to top, PAGE UP & PAGE DOWN moves script by 600 pixels.
MOUSE: MOUSE_WHEEL increases and decreases scrolling speed *(would like to add a ctrlKey modifier to change font size on mouse wheel - another day perhaps)
THE PROBLEM: When you enter the prompt screen and hit PAGE DOWN the script correctly moves down 600 pixels, but does not redraw on the stage. If you then hit PAGE UP it correctly moves up and the text is back on the stage. Hit PAGE DOWN again and it moves but does not render. You can repeat this continuously. I have a Y position reference that shows the Y coordinates of the text field, so I'm confident that the MC is correctly moving, it's just not rendering. If you hit PAGE DOWN and hit BEGIN the text renders in the correct place. Once you start the prompter, you can stop it and use PAGE DOWN and it renders correctly, but if you change the font size larger > 100 and hit PAGE DOWN the font again does not render. Again if you hit BEGIN the font renders correctly in the correct position.
WHAT I THINK: I've been trying to find a way to update or refresh the text field that is being manipulated on PAGE DOWN and font increase; no luck with updateAfterEvent or redraw. I've tried to start and stop the prompter programmatically in one frame at the end of the PAGE DOWN function & font increase.
POSSIBILITIES OR NEW STRATEGY? I'm a media production specialist with a school district in Florida, and I'm hoping to release this app to all our schools and to sourceforge.net. It's a small bug, but I'd rather not have to explain it if I can find a way to fix it. The following code block only contains the functions related to the navigation and prompter text box manipulation.
//Begin button toggle code.Toggle between begin and stop.startBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, startOver);function startOver(e:MouseEvent)[code].....
A Visual Basic & ASP.NET programmer I work with looked at the bug with me, and he believes the error is somehow related to the actual CLICK of the BEGIN button. As I noted earlier, we tried a workaround by using code to start and stop the prompter in one frame after the font size change, but that did not correct the issue. Yet when you physically click begin with the mouse it renders the text.What is it about clicking the mouse that causes the text box to render? Is it a focus issue? Like the keyboard has focus, but when you click BEGIN it returns focus to the text box and it redraws then?

I created an full flash template website loading external swf.Lately, I managed to add a fake3D rotation with AS3 and CS4 to this global template with an enterFrame.some of my external swf use a vertical scroller also using an enterframe function base on the x / y position of the mouse, the scroller dont work anymore.Can't an enterframe swf loads another swf with enterframe function?

I have programmed a little screensaver for trade event monitors to display throughou t the program.
I will be outputting this as a stand alone flash application, so am not worried about browsers etc. Essentially, all I need is when you click the application, it goes fullscreen automatically

I am working on an eLearning course whereas client requied the course to be keyboard accessible. He wants all the shortcuts with Alt key combination.I can trap the Alt key with the use of enterframe but that makes my course processing heavy so I tried to trap Alt key with keylistener event but unfortunately keylistener event doesn't listen Alt key .how to trap Alt key without using enterframe or interval?

I have a function that running on ENTER_FRAME inside another function that is called once on COMPLETE. I need to stop that ENTER_FRAME later on in the timeline. Here's the basic code:
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener);
function startListener(e:Event):void
{
var mySprite = new Sprite();
[Code]....
So you see when myLoader is COMPLETE it creates mySprite that is an ENTER_FRAME and continues to run the function playerBarPos. The function playerBarPos then traces over and over again "this keeps going and going". How do I later in the timeline stop this?

If I have added Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners to different components, how can I set or know the ordering of when these events will be fired on each enterFrame?Instead of adding enterFrame listeners to individual elements, is it better practice to have one element which listens for enterFrame events, and has an array of elements needing updating on enterFrames, thereby making it easy to organize and change the firing order of these events?

I have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.

i didnt script for a while and I forgot the actionscript to add to a button so it repeats whatever it has to do on enterframe.SO i dont have to make another mc where it loops the action..

I want to duplicate an MC every 5th second, so I came up with this code:
Code:
i = 100;
p = 0;
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
[Code].....
I know this doesn't work, because onClipEvent only works on buttons or MCs. So the question is: is there an onTimelineEvent or something that'd work on the timeline?

I have one mc called iquality. Inside this I have to mc's called iqualityactive_mc and iqualityinactive_mc applied to those two mc's is a script that fades one in and fades one out.
iqualityactive_mc
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._alpha<100) {
this._alpha += 2;
}}
iqualityinactive_mc
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._alpha>0) {
this._alpha -= 2;
}}
My question is how do I get it to do the samething but in reverse after it is done?

I registered because this forum kept on popping up when I asked google my actionscript questions.
I'll just come right out and admit it, I'm a noob. I am making a website with a bunch of buttons on a menu bar. When you mouse over a button, a submenu of other buttons pops out of it. I use this code.
[Code]...
The parent buttons are movie clips, and the sub-buttons are on later frames.My question is this: how can I delay it so that you have to hold the mouse over the button for a second before the button's playhead goes to its next frame?
Ideally, I'd like to have the playhead go to the second frame immediately, to change the color of the button on mouseover, and then have a delay before frame 3, when the sub-buttons start to appear.

I'm in the final stages of a project, and I am in trouble for not having bigger tests on lower end computers. It's a game, and frame rate may vary for low end computers on certain intensive parts. This creates a de-sync with the Timer class as it counts real seconds, unrelated to the fps.The frame rate is 30. Bugs start to occur on anything <20, specifics don't matter, but I should have expected that. And now I should fix that.
What would you suggest? I could write an enterframe timer class (counts frames, won't go desyncd). This means I'll have many enterframes events (opposing many Timers right now) - is this significant, cpu-wise? How is it in comparison?Btw this occurred to me as I tried the application on my N900, didn't really expect it to run properly but the device's a beast and it did. Everything worked, slowly but worked, except the fact things got out of sync.

i have an old-school background (C, assembler...).
First, if you're writing a simple game and have a state machine that is called every frame to handle attract mode, gameplay, game over states etc., does the AS/pseudocode code below basically make sense in the AS world? I've read a little of Jeff Fulton and others that talk about FSMs and function-reference state machines, but it would be good to get some comment from people here.
Second, if the initgame() function is part of the state machine, it has to complete within one frame, else will get called again before it's finished. But initgame functions can be lengthy - setting up graphics, initiating landscapes, maybe doing procedural generation, etc. By their nature they're called once as needed, not every frame, and are framerate-independent. But if they're part of the state machine, they're tied to the framerate. How to handle that basic dichotomy? How is it possible to perform the initgame() function outside the framerate-bound state machine, or else to guarantee that the enterFrame event won't trigger re-entrance?
Code:
public function Main():void {
public var state:int=1;
initprogram();[code].....

Im just start with AS3 and I saw in an example how to made a simple clock, but it is using enterFrame event, if my movie is working at 30fps, is a good practice use enterFrame for a second counter? Is there any other better function or better practice where I does not need to check 30 times in every second?

I have a hitTest on an enterFrame event that adds a movieClip.I then want the movie clip to be on a timer that changes it to another movieClip.As you can imagine, there is a conflict because the hitTest always finds the original Mc an so over-rides the timer.I know this is a logic problem but I cant seem to figure it out.I am pretty sure I am thinking about this the wrong way.here is some of the code:
//this is the hitTest
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,leftPillarHit);
function leftPillarHit(ev:Event):void {

I've got a simple ENTER_FRAME event with a getURL in the function but it continually calls the URL's and never stops going...
I've put stop(); inside the function and outside it, yet it doesn't stop requesting the URL's. What am I missing here?

Whenever I try to remove an object/child with enterframe running I always get null reference error.In my particular case, the setup is Battlefield contains a lot of Robot:
A child (Robot) dispatchEvent that it is destroyedThe parent container receives the event and starts removing the child by removeChild and remove the child from an array of Robots.on enterframe, during a loop to move the robots around, sometimes I would get null reference, so I have to call if (robots[i] == null) continue;
How do you safely remove the child without sprinkling if robot is null all over my enterframe?

I have a flash package and in that flash package I have a radio Movie Clip. In that movie clip I have a jukebox that when placed onto the stage the user can click play to play the music. What I would like to do, is that when the user enters the frame on the mail stage the music will automatically start. Now my question is, how do I do this, and do I have to put further AS into the radio MC or onto an action on the stage. This is the code that I have in the Radio MC:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
