ActionScript 2.0 :: JSFL / Commands Starting Point?
Apr 8, 2007
Maybe I just such at searching.tell me where I should start for researching the following.I want to create a "command" (JSFL i think) that has a stored AS in it so when I run the command it will type the AS in the AS panel.

The execution of JSFL files seems to have slowed down in Flash CS5. Or, at least, the updating of the display has been severely slowed down. I have a command I use all the time -- so much that I don't even think about it -- that worked fine in CS4 and earlier, but in CS5 it seems to execute too slowly. My command is a replacement for the "Step Forward One Frame" and "Step Backward One Frame" commands in the control menu (the "<" and ">" keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original "<" and ">" keys, and they need to run fast enough that I don't notice their execution time. They don't do that much processing at all, so it really shouldn't be a problem.
I also wrote some functions for profiling, and they indicate that the command is actually running in a reasonable amount of time (around 50ms). When I run it again immediately, though, the execution time balloons to about 300ms. Not only that, but in both cases the display takes its sweet time updating itself. It seems to wait until all activity is finished, and then updates. This means that when I execute the command repeatedly (keyboard-scrubbing the timeline) I don't get to see the current state of the stage until I stop completely and wait for it to update.
As I said before, I never had trouble with this in CS4 and earlier. So my question is: is there any way to tell Flash to update its display in a command, so that I don't have to wait for Flash to get around to it? Relatedly, is there any way to give the javascript interface a higher priority so it'll execute commands faster? keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I'm working on a services module (slideshow for lack of a better term) for an accounting firms website - site is still under construction at On the home page, far right hand column a grey box with a service icon and user controls progresses thru the five services until the user advances the slide manually.I need to randomize the starting point of the slide show using one of the five services. To complicate the matter further I need to weight them so some services show up more often than others. But randomizing with equal weight would at least be a start.

LineTo() and curveTo() provide basic level drawing. However, the lines these functions produce look like they were drawn by the line or pen tools. Is there any way, through either existing functions or through modifying current ones, that I could made the drawings done through actionscript look like they were drawn using the brush tool?
My first thought was to see if this was in default actionscript and could not find it. My second was to see if someone had already created the class, and while for a time I thought someone had, I lost the link . I guess I could always create the class myself, but I honestly have no starting point (like what algorithm flash uses to create its brushstrokes) and don't want to waste my time if something similar is already in existence.

I have been trying to do this locally on my machine by using the download simulator but the simulator doesnt seem to work especially when I give the player a 2GB file to load over a 14kbps connection, the file seems to load within a split second and absolutely no buffering occurs.My problem below needs to be answered before I can persue and purchase and set up a web server to run FMS as a production server, but understandably I do not want to do this until I know it is possible to do what I want to do.
Let say I have put a 60min video on the server which I want to stream. But I only want to stream the last 20mins of it. Am I able to set the player to stream from the last 20mins and for there to be no progressive download required before? I need the stream to start almost immediately from the start of the last 20mins and for it to continue plaing until the remainder of the video completes So essentially I only want to load a part of the movie into a stream and disgard the part of the movie I do not want to show.

i know the pythagorean theorem for figuring out distance between 2 points.
what i don't know is how to take that equation and determine another aspect based on 2 different bits of data.
figure out the ending _y position based on the starting point, the initial angle and the ending _x position??

Alright, so I've been struggling with this one since last night. When I create a new object (a new unit), and draw it to the screen (Flash does all the work there), the point at which it's first placed is considered its origin. That is, getX and getY will return the distance from that point... Why is that? Or how can I stop this?

I an trying to get the _root node of an FLA via JSFL. A co-worker wrote a script that uses _root via actionscript. I was trying to wrap that code into a panel. I have all the trace functionality running and everything running accept I can't seem to access the "_root". I have tried _level0, and almost everything I can think of... I am looking to have JSFL return the _root object from the current file the same way can can hand "_root" to a function. (IE: myfunction( _root ); ) here is my current attempt:
Code:
var doc = MMExecute( "fl.getDocumentDOM()._root;" );

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.

How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension

i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )

I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.

Is there a way besides pasting frames inside a layer to add an element into a timeline? I'd like to replicate the addChild functionality from actionScript into JSFL. So basically, I'd like to add a bunch of movieClips instances into another movie clip, does anyone know how to do this in JSFL?

To issue a command from an ActionScript script:
Use the following syntax (you can concatenate several commands into one string): MMExecute(Javascript command string);
I wanted to know if this opends the possibility of having a swf file, that when run, can execute jsfl script that will create a folder on the user's computer?

So a major problem I have been having is that I run CS4 on my laptop, but the people i work with run CS3 and its quite a nuisance to have to constantly remember to save the file as CS3 every time i want to save. Does anyone have any quick-fix ideas that don't involve forcing my coworkers to buy CS4 or me downgrading?
