ActionScript 2.0 :: Initclip Functions Causing Errors
Feb 23, 2006
I'm a javascript/html programmer, and although it's coming along, my knowledge of flash/actionscript is still quite basic. Most of the coding comes easy, but the layering of content/actions still has the tendancy to give me fits. Sometimes I learn about something completely new, such as the use of #initclip, and it causes problems that I'm not sure how to handle.
A client has given us the .fla to a fully functional .swf. The .fla contains many (40+) Sprites which are only used for #initclip purposes. When I recompile the .fla, I get 734 errors, which I'll discuss below. For the record, I have tried publishing with both Flash MX and Flash 8, using both ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 options, and trying to compile as Flash 6, 7, and 8 files. I've also added the Flash Remoting Components for both my Flash MX and Flash 8 programs.[code]...

I've just upgraded to CS4 from CS3, and the AS3 project I'm working on which was compiling perfectly well in CS3, is now failing to compile because of a variety of errors.I can solve some of them by casting:
ActionScript Code:
// before
if(clip.stage != null)
// after
if(DisplayObject(clip).stage != null)
But I'm failing to solve them on errors regarding Arrays:
ActionScript Code:
// measurements is an array in both cases
measurements = measurements.splice(index, 1);
// 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method splice.
for(var i:int = 0; i < measurements.length; i++)
// 1202: Access of undefined property length in package measurements.
I'm surprised than a fresh install is behaving like this. Is there some setting somewhere I've not enabled?I set the flex sdk path to the same one that I'm using in Flash Develop, but no luck.

I've been trying to build a kind of 'weapon generator' for part of a project I'm working on but I've hit a wall. I've been using a hell of a lot of functions in my little program but for no (apparent) reason, it's generating a lot of errors.
[Code]...
I've had this problem for a while now and I've looked for a long time on how to solve it. Is there any kind of limit to the amount of button functions I can create? Do I need to tweak any AS3 settings? Does Flash CS5 despise me?

I am trying to define a global class with #initclip in Flash 8, AS2.The global class will then load a movie into _level0, and set listeners for onLoadStart and onLoadInit.
(I want it to go into _level0 so that I can take on all the properties of the loaded movie, but still allow it to access this global class and its global variables that the parent swf created.)
It's almost working. The loaded movie can access the global class just fine.
BUT, the problem that I am having is that the onLoadStart listener is not being called when the child movie begins to load.
(The onLoadInit listener IS being called.)I made a MovieClip symbol, set the Linkage Identifier to "MyClass", and checked to Export for ActionScript AND Export in first frame.
The AS inside the symbol is:
[code]...
As you can see, it detected MyClass.onLoadStart and MyClass.onLoadInit while the #initclip code was executing, and it also saw them in the call to MyClass.main.
But, as you can also see, MyClass.onLoadStart is never called as the movie is loaded. Only MyClass.onLoadInit is.
Still, the loaded movie can run MyClass.onLoadStart just fine, and get the output:
CALLING MyClass.onLoadStart!!!!!
So, I'm just confused as to why the MyClass.onLoadStart listener doesn't seem to be being called when the movie is being loaded.

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )

Its a complicated senario for me. I have a sound management singleton with an asset like dictionary storing all referances to my urls and assets and the guff inside it-
I have a function called addItem(id:String, url:String):Object
I would love to do something similar as soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).play() or soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).stop() of which it'll both add my item to my dictionary, and begin playing the sound

I have a function with 4 necessary arguments (aka parameters) in order to perform the actions. I would like to have the ability to pass the same function to itself as an argument (sort of like a recursive function) along with its arguments. Basically I want to "base" to engage an onMotionFinished event handler if there is another function passed as an argument. Something like...

Would there be a way to use listeners to do this or the AsBroadcaster?

I have a menu I'm building in Flash, the version with no animations can be seen at [URL]. I'm trying to make the block of text on the left tween in from the left. That block of text is a movie clip made up of three dynamic text boxes. Each text box reads in a variable from a text file. Ideally, what I want to do is have the tweening in the movie clip. However, when I add in a keyframe at any point in the movie clip, the dynamic text will display and animate up to that point and then disappear. Also, to mkae things more annoying, only the first of the three blocks will move at all. I can change the alpha or whatever I want to on that first one, but the others seem to be off limits. Could this be due to the fact that I set the second and third blocks to be just below the title block in action script? Does that interfere with tweening?

Im using hitTestObject to start a mc playing, but it continues to loop even though there is a stop(); on its last frame.

The mc "rolly" is the one being looped. Its animation is within itself (hope that makes sense) it is not looping the main timeline.

I have this code:
<script>
function cargar(url){
var iframe = $('<iframe>');[code]....
That generates an iframe (containing a panorama viewer with JavaScript and Flash) and inserts it in a div.The thing is that this code, in local, Firebug jumps:
Elemento referenciado por ID/NAME en el ámbito global. Use el estándar del W3C document.getElementById() en su lugar.Element referenced by ID / NAME in global scope. Use the W3C standard document.getElementById () instead.And online it doesn't jump any error or warning but the script doesn't fully work: http:[url]... (the controls are missing and the autoplay is not ON)

FLA in CS3 attached.Simple MC with over/out and onPress.All silhouettes have over/out. Silhouette on left initiates the animation.Black box in top left corner resets it.When a silhouette has been rolled over/out it does not follow timeline animation.{Rollover a single person then click left person to see issue.)I originally had the motion done in AS, but switched to timeline for trouble shooting.I'm trying to use more AS than timeline lately, so i hope someone can point me in the right direction. Also any tips in easier ways to do what i'm doing would be great... sometimes i feel like i'm taking the extended route.[code]

I want it so that when you click a button, it will run a multiplayer game and connect to a server, WITHOUT having any .bat or .exe files beforehand. So any new guy can rock up and connect, just as long as he has the game.
If you run Jedi Academy multiplayer like this:
jamp +set fs_game "japlus" +connect "193.155.0.5:29070"
It will run the game and connect to a certain server. The problem is, how do I get Flash to do that without any premade .exes with command lines?
The only other problem I can think of is, is it possible to run the game without knowing the directory the exe is in? In other words, could Flash find the game .exe if it was just given a name?

I have an issue whereby a new font (FFF Forward variant) installed on some machines works perfectly in flash (cs5.5) but on one machine causes an instant crash when the Type Tool is used.I know the font is the core of the problem but am unsure why it works on some flash installations (same versions) and not others?
I have tried every conceivable way of uninstalling/installing the font (even cmd prompt and safe mode!)I have flushed preferences files (obv inc typesupport folder)I have re-installed flash!I have even tried copying the prefs files from one of the working installations to the troublesome machine.I have run font verification and repair tools (nexus font, font creator, font val, font doctor, font lab...)No joy, still crashing

I am getting a flash player 10b.ocx error, which causes into crash of the browser. I am loading a bunch of images in this application. (20-30 at a time). using Loader class.
I have three questions: Is it the flash player error causing the browser to crash or something in my code is wrong?what possibly can go wrong in AS3 code to cause this error if it is not a flash player error?What could be the possible resolution for the same?

I can't seem to figure out how to get my slideshow to stop looping after I imported an external video. It will no longer stop at frame one, it simply plays all the way through the frames with no pause even though I have a stop(); on each frame.
The file functions properly until I added the FLVPlayback component. It was looping even when the FLVPlayback component was in the library and exported for actionscript and in frame 1. After unchecking these boxes it won't loop, however that all changes as soon as I drag an instance of the component on stage or inside a movie clip on stage.
The flash presentation I'm working on is designed so 1 frame is one slide and I need the video to be playable from 1 slide (frame). Even after placing stop actions everywhere I could think of it still loops straight through with the FLVPlayback component.
