Question regarding math: I am trying to interate through an xml set (the xml will constantly change) and display 6 items at a time. If the total from xml is not divisible by 6 and lets say 4 left from the array, only show 4 and set the other attached mcs to false. I am adding them via attachMovie and basically do not know how to set up the math on it, can anyone shed some light?

I have a game built and I would like to reduce the loading time to the minimum possible.One of my ideas is to load the essential assets and some lower quality images the first time, leaving the higher quality images and some of the functionality out at first (for instance things like buttons that change the background color), and once the player enters the game, the rest of the functionality and its assets (images and sounds) will be loading in the background using the Loader class.So once the non-essential assets and the high quality images have loaded they will fade in and substitue the lower quality assets in the most subtle way possible.
Also... Would it be better to have various instances of a "Loader" class and try to load everything at once, or load stuff in order with a single instance of the "loader" class listening to the Event.COMPLETE event ?
I tried searching for an answer to this on the forums and it seems you can't duplicate a movieclip that has a dynamically loaded jpg in it, I mean you just get a duplicate empty movieclip?What I want to do is have 3 copies of a pic, each tinted a little differently, and have them converge and reveal the "composite" of this pic. Do I then have to use loadMovie 3 times?Does loading the same 50kb image at the same time mean you're actually loading 150kb?

How can I iterate through all the MovieClips in a MovieClip
View 2 RepliesWhat do you think is the fastest way to iterate across an array? To access and perform an operation on each element stored..
Is there a difference if your array is varied or if it only contains one class type

View 2 RepliesLets suppose, I have a class with so many public properties
class person{
public var address:String;
public var name:String;
public var fathername:String;
//etc etc
}
Now i want to iterate over them in a simple way like
for (var key:string in person){
trace("property is " + key + " and value is " + person[key]);
}
But AS3 doesnt allow this to do with Classes
what would be the better and simple way to iterate over them as i dont want to do so many if(else) on it.
I have an created an associative array of MovieClips, but when I try to iterate through them, the for loop never gets entered (nothing gets outputted). It's like as-if the Array is empty.
var navItems:Array = new Array();
navItems["home"] = item_home;
navItems["featuredfilms"] = item_featuredfilms;

Say, for example, I have a car on a flat plane. It can move either left, up, right or down. I also have 10 obstacles on the stage. Each time the car hits one of them it should automatically turn to avoid it. I could loop through each obstacle and check if it is colliding with the car but a better approach would be to make an obstacle class that checks if the car is going to collide with that obstacle and if it does, make it change direction. My problem though is what about if I had 5 cars? Would the obstacle class have to loop through each of the cars to check if any are colliding with it? My main concern with this is how much the performance of the program would be affected. I imagine with only 5 cars the difference would be insignificant, but what if I had 1000 cars and 1000 obstacles? Going back to the first example, it is easy to see how you can use a class as opposed to using a loop but with the second example, I just don't know.
View 4 RepliesIs it possible to iterate through a MovieClip's child MovieClips?
Lets say I have a MovieClip "a_mc" which itself is made up of n number of child movieclips. Is there a way to iterate through all the children without creating an instance for each one?
I would like to know is there a way to iterate through all parents in a display object.I need to do this because i am loading swfs to application and swfs have different number of nested movieClips and i would like to be able to access loader properties like width and height dynamically from within any depth.
View 2 RepliesI am using Flex dictionary to store ValueObjects with Timestamp as the 'key' for each object.
Given a timestamp, I want to iterate over the dictionary starting from the given timestamp key value.
The Docs discuss the following for dictionary iteration, but this iterates from the first key-value pair.
for (var key:Object in myDictionary)
{
trace(key, myDictionary[key]);

I'm accessing the classes from an externally loaded SWF so that I can "skin" SWF applications at runtime. Everything works fine but I'd like to make it as dynamic as possible and allow developers to access all the class definitions in a loaded SWF without having the FLA file or a list of their names.

View 4 RepliesI've got a loop which creates a movie clip for each day of the month and lines them up. so, depending on how many days are in the current month, the counter var for the loop is 28, 30, or 31.
Code:
for(var j:Number=1; j <= lastDay; j++){
// Create the Empty Movie Clip
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("dateClip"+j,300+j);
var dateClip:MovieClip = _root["dateClip"+j];
Within this very same loop I am also using the same counter var (j) to iterate thru an array that is created from parsing my xml file. Now, I don't have 28, 30, or 31 dates in my xml file -- just about 4 or 5. so if i trace out this array I'll get values for the first 4 or 5 positions but then a series of 'undefineds' for the rest. that's normal, right?
Code:
trace(ArrDate[j].attributes.day);
The problem comes when I try to target the movie clip instances based on the "dateClip" and the "ArrDate". Here it comes up totally undefined in all circumstances.
Code:
trace(dateClip["thisDate"+(ArrDate[j].attributes.day)]);
I can trace out dateClip and I can trace out the ArrDate (even though it returns only 4 values and the rest undefined).
I would like to know is there a way to iterate through all parents in a display object. I need to do this because i am loading swfs to application and swfs have different number of nested movieClips and i would like to be able to access loader properties like width and height dynamically from within any depth. How can i do that?

I'm trying to optimize a site I'm building with Django/Flash and am having a problem using Django's iterate over chunks() feature. I'm sending an image from Flash to Django using request.POST data rather than through a form (using request.FILES). The problem I foresee is that if there is large user volume, I could potentially kill memory. But it seems that Django only allows iterating over chunks with request.FILES. Is there a way to:
1) wrap my request.POST data into a request.FILES (thus spoofing Django)
or
2) use chunks() with request.POST data

I'm trying to build a small app that will iterate through an array of sound files to see if they are valid.I'm simulating corrupt sound files by taking .png's and changing the extension on them to .mp3 The idea is a sound will start playing and the timer will start. When the sound is done playing the next sound will start and the timer will reset and start counting down again. If a sound does not finish within 45 seconds the timer will complete, output the name of the file that did not finish, and then skip to the next file. For some reason though the timer does not reset when the sounds finish playing, it just keeps counting down from wherever it is.
Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;

I am loading an external swf animation and playing an audio which should be synchronized with the loaded swf i have used the loader class for loading swf and sound channel to load sound, when the audio gets fully loaded only we are calling function to load swf, at that time audio remains stopped when the swf too gets fully loaded, we are adding swf int stage and playing the audio. In local system it works fine but when we upload it its not synchronizingly properly for the first time The issue what i see is that swf (only one is there) gets loaded frome inbetween ie the first ceration animations are missing. and audio is playing from the begining why is it so....
View 1 RepliesI have a rotating menu that when clicked rotates and loads in swf movies, OnClick.
The problem I seem to be having is that because the swf movies load in on click it seems to be causing the rotation of the menu not to run smooth.
Question: Is it possible to get the swf movies to load in once the action of the click has completed its action. some kind of 2 second delay before the movies load in??
what happens: you can click or mouse scroll through the menu, when you click, the action repositions the selected Item (ActiveItem) in the center and resizes larger. this works great, is it possible after this action is complete to then load in the swf movies?
to see how the movie runs at the moment this is the link: [URL]
you will see at the moment onClick the movies load straight away which makes the rotation not smooth when rotating around.
I can't seem to get the mouse scroll to work the same function as the click at the moment also.....thats for another day
I'm trying to learn something new: "contentLoaderInfo" and need some advice. I'm loading a bunch of thumbs so far, and will be loading the large version of those images later (after I get this part working) for a gallery.
I declared all the loaders and the URLRequests. And listeners like this: loader1.addEventListener.COMPLETE, processLoaderOne; loader2.addEventListener.COMPLETE, processLoaderTwo;etc.
If I try to load them all in successive statements,
loader1.load(URLRequest1);loader2.load(URLRequest2);loader3.load(URLRequest3);loader4.load(URLRequest4); and in the functions (processLoaderOne, processLoaderTwo, etc.) if I try to place the content on the stage by saying: loader2.x=loader1.x+loader1.contentLoaderInfo.width, it doesn't work.
I get this message: "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."
But if I "daisy-chain" them together by loading one loader (and use contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processLoaderOne) ) and put a load statement to load the next subsequent loader as the last line in that function, it works OK.
Is there any way to use the first method, loading all the loaders at the same time? And using Event.COMPLETE in their addEventListener declarations?
I have a flash file that loads 3 straight XML files, one after other.And in every single code I have the sucess condition, like this:
ActionScript Code:
if (success){
doRightStuff();[code].........
Later, I added a function and an Interval to do the verifying:
ActionScript Code:
goBack = function () {
gotoAndPlay("untilItWork1");[code]..............
Didn't work also. Las try was a completely stupid addition: a variable counter that increased it's value 100 times (doing the XML calling and loading everytime), to check if the problem was some delay issue. 5 minutes later, it didn't work also.The second time I load the f**king page, it works like a charm.
