ActionScript 2.0 :: Initiate Actions Based On _x?
Jun 17, 2004
after several hours tinkering I've set up a movie to initiate a set of actions triggered by a movieclips _x position. Im using Math.round to keep my intergers whole and im using ease on my movie clip. If the movie clip starts at 0,0 and the buttons are hit 1,2,3,4 everything is fine, but hit the buttons out of order (2,4,1,3) or set the start point of the mc to anything but 0,0 and the movie becomes a mess.I don't understand what im doing wrong. I tried some simple loop commands and my comp just locked up repeatedly so I broke down and used frameloops, it's closer to complete but still so far

URL...the problem is why it takes as long as it does to initiate the loading of the site if it's already loaded the site, here's the code for the preloader that loads the file that is being waited on:[code]

Making a game and I have a preloader class which is linked to the main 'game.fla' file, in the preloader class I have imported the 'Game.as' class that contains ALL the code to run the game. The problem I am having is that I can't seem to 'initiate' the game once all the elements are loaded.

I was wondering how to accomplish this. I have a .swf embedded into an html file with html links on the top. Within the .swf file I have a continue button that takes the user through all the frames. Is it possible to include some kind of code so that when they reach the end of the .swf the "next" link will become initiated and take the user to the next .html page. I am working with captivate is this feature in captivate? If anyone could point me in the right direction or share some wisdom it would really make my day

I have an app that when it starts loads up about 200 small gif images from the web server. Code looks something like this:
for each (myValueObject in myarray) {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myValueObject.getImageURL());
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
This worked fine in testing for a few dozen images. But now I'm running it with about 200 images, and about half the images load fine but the other half I get an error:
Error 2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent.
Each time I run it, different images succeed and fail. This gives me the sense that I have somehow reached a limit on either the number of concurrent URLRequest threads that Flash can run, or the number of concurrent HTTP requests that the image server can handle... or maybe there is a timeout on Loader that I can make longer?

How does one go about creating a webcam interface in Flash using as3?
Which classes need to be imported and what is the code required for Flash to interpret a movement (waving of the hand) into initiating a function.

I have a product demo in Flash that's roughly 1MB in size. When people access a page that this demo lives on, the demo doesn't visibly "appear" until over half of the total bytes have already been loaded..You can see this by clicking here, and seeing that by the time the swf materializes on the screen, the preloader progress bar is already over 50% (or so).How can I fix it so that at least something shows up right away, so that the user isn't staring at a blank screen for 30 seconds? The preloader seems to work ok.

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.

I have searched many actionscript tutorials and forums in order to find a solution to my problem, so far no luck. My problem: To randomly deal 13 cards, face up, onto pre-designated coordinates of the main stage. Each card is, of course, different. Once dealt, how to get and set the value of each card to initiate the game?

I'm working on a background music class and found that you cannot use the Sound class in a class file. Specifically, initiating and attaching the sound. Starting, stopping, getting the duration and such seem acceptable (though I haven't tested this yet). I've done a few searches and haven't found any work arounds other than when the class is called, hand it the sound object with the sound already attached, like this:
ActionScript Code:
import bgMusicClass;
var bgSnd:Sound = new Sound(this);
bgSnd.attachSnd("newWave.mp3");
var bgMusic = new bgMusicClass(bgSnd);

I have a main movie called home.fla. In this movie I only have one frame and I have place 5 different movie clips (not SWF) on this frame at different positions but on the same layer. These five movie clips are named mc_main1, c_main2.Each of these movie clips contains 5 frames, with a button on each frame. Each of these buttons also has a movie clip inside them (mc_sub1 mc_sub5). You can only go from frame 1 to frame 2 of each clip (main1, main2 etc.) my clicking on the button on frame1.The user can go to any of the main movie clips in whichever sequence they want. For example, they can choose to go to clip main3 and click on it twice (this will take the user till frame 3 of main3 and play the movie clip that is inside frame3) and then they can decide to click on main1 once and then main4 three times until they have visited all the parts of (all the 25 mc_sub) all the movie clips (main1 main5).
Once the user has visited all the 25 mc_sub i.e. once they have finished going thru all the 5 main movie clips completely, I want to display an animation (mc_animation) on the frame1 or any other frame of the home.fla movie.Is there away to determine if the user has finished watching all the 25 mc_sub i.e. if the user has gone thru each and every frame of each of the mc_main movieclips.I think the problem is that since the user can select any of the mc_main clips in any sequence, I am finding it difficult to determine when they have finished going through everything. If it was all in a sequence then I know I could have calculated if the current frame is equal to total frames and then I would have displayed the animation if the above was true; but that is not the case here.

a SWF that will serve as the main movie for the site. Inside this SWF, I have a script that loads a JPG into a holder MC that's on stage. So basically it's like this:
- main.fla
-- holder_mc (this isn't an empty MC, it has some PNG's inside)
--- external JPG loaded in by loadMovie
I'm ok with building a preloader for the holder_mc and the rest of the FLA (without the size info of the external JPG), but how would I incorporate the size of the external JPG into my initial preloader before I actually start playing everything. Would I have to set the holder_mc visibility to false, call the loadMovie, initiate the preload, and then set visibility back to true. There's gotta be a better way?

1. Can i put another set of actions in frame 2 of the actions layer?i tested but it doesn't seem to work..it has 836 rows of code and it's getting annoying when tryin to search for a function..
2. I am not that familiar with classes, i usually put all the code into movieclips or in actions layer.. i am not sure if i can call a function from a actionscript class..
3.I am curios if there is any way i could specify an alternative for the if statement like in this pseudocode:
if ( apple is not clean BUT is tasty)
{
eat(apple)
}

I just discovered impure.com and was very impressed by what can be achieved in terms of visualizing data using their workspace. Although the platform is free to use, but not open source yet. This causes a few problems because the API section works with .com sites for eg. for ebay, so I cannot visualize ebay listings for regional sites such as ebay.in because the link to ebay.com is hardcoded.I searched around, but didn't find other projects that offer a similar way to work with site APIs and other data sources with the kind of user interface and detail that impure.com does in a realtime way within a browser window.This brings me to the questions:
-What technologies would be involved in creating a similar kind of project
-What are the open source tools that can help develop a fullscreen UI to render the workspace. Are there any alternatives to flash for this, and how do they compare
The goal would be to use standard python data structures, python scripts to do some processing on these data structures, scripts to gather data from csv, json and API sources such as google yahoo, wikipedia and flickr, and scripts to render graphs, tag clouds, network visualizations etc. Then bring them all together into a visual interface that supports drag drop and simple type checking.How would the python backend integrate with the UI.

I'm relatively new to AS3. There's one thing that I don't quite understand about Sprites. I'm making a tile based game, and all the tile graphics for a level are inside one movie clip in each frame. Would I be able to go about creating multiple sprites based on the frames in said movieclip's timeline I would I have to go through and make a separate library graphic for each.

I got this early version of a sliding menu. See file "scrolling.fla". Its got four images that slides into place when you click on the small colored buttons. The thing is I want the movie to quit/shut down when I press the red button, AFTER the red image has moved back in place.The code for the red button is:
on (press) {
_root.xnew = _root.mask2._x+(-2-1)*458.5/2;
}
I added the following:
on (rollOut) {
_root.unloadMovie();
}
It works in a sense but I dont want to use "on (rollOut)", because you might shut down the slideshow involuntary moving the cursor on your way to the other buttons. So the question is, yet again, how to quit the movie after the red image is back in place?

I am unable to view the Actions Panel window in a document I've already done a lot of work in. It worked previously - I created an Actions Layer and was able to add action script, however, when I try to open it back up to edit the action script I wrote, neither the F9 shortcut nor the Windows>Actions pulls up the Actions Panel. In fact, when I try either method, nothing happens.
