This simple code is not working properly:
ActionScript Code:
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
trace ("Message");
} Key.addListener(keyListener);
The message is only output when some keys are pressed, such as W, D, Space, etc. I don't know why. I am using Flash CS3 (AS2).
When i test my movie this output message pops up:
[Code].....
What does this mean? I presume that it has something do do with the toplevel.as file and $(LocalDate)/Classes'. Where can these files be found and how to i correct this error message.
I am using the following tutorial to create a php message page, however, even in their example, I cannot get the php echo function to send the output to the dynamic text fields:Here is the button code to send the php variables and attempt to capture the php echo of either "sent" or "error"
on (release) { Now import the variables we need to send in this movie clip sender_mail = _root.Semail.text sender_name = _root.Sname.text sender_subject = _root.Ssubject.text sender_message =

I'm having trouble setting the focus on the next text box on the form after a message is displayed. Here is what I have??

i am new to flash (yet i have been using it for years) by that i mean, i struggle with it a lot. i was hoping someone could help me with the "incompatible override" error message and the "duplicate function definition" message.

I'm trying to understand how classes works.
I've got Main class which contains:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import Configurator;

why I don't get the "Configurator Initiated" message in Output window?
I have installed the Remote Debugger, a couple of times, apparently without any problem. When I use the Remote Debugger in AS3, the message appears in Flash output as "Waiting for Player to connect ..." until the timeout. The debugger does not start, by itself. Neither, I can find the Debugger in any folder; like in "Program Files/Adobe/...... etc." It does not show up in the list of Programs, either.
View 9 RepliesI have inherited a website maintenance project that has a Flash rotating image banner.I have managed to get the images to fade-in and fade-out correctly, but now I need to make these images clickable - linking images to pages in the website.I have read many posts here and have reviewed the video tutorials. I have been able to get the first image clickable using this AS3 action:
mars_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent) :void { navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://somewebsite/mars.php")); trace("I'm clicked"); }

I made this function,that is supposed to create a bunch of slides based on a parameter. That parameter should be the instance name:
Code:
function createSlide(instName:Object){
trace(instName);
this.createEmptyMovieClip(instName, this.getNextHighestDepth());[code]....
In the script I call the function with
Code:
createSlide("mySlide");
After execution, this error message appears: Error: A 'with' action failed because the specified object did not exist.The trace statement returns the instance name -"mySlide"- When I replace instName with a stringtype name like "mySlide", it works fine.But I don't want that 'cause in that case I have to write a specific function for each slide.
I'm working through some tutorials from my instructor to eventually build a simple e-com website for a state park. Basically, I'm using the two as3 files shown below and trying to get "bob" in my output with an array function and trace. Load store function is intentionally coded out. When I test project, nothing comes up in output, and I have no errors.

I don't have any practical need for this but just for learning purposes, is it possible and how to trace the name of the function to the Output panel?
View 6 RepliesI'm using flash MX, and this was written in the only frame. Before this, I had the function declared and then called, and the output was 1 then 2 then 3.With the function declared at the end there is no output.In both cases the movieclips never played.

_root.McG1.onRelease=Select(1);_root.McG2.onPress=Select(2);_root.McCar.onPress=Select(3)[code].....
How do you send the output of a function to a dynamic text field on the stage instead of the output panel?I have used trace(); but that just sends the value to the output panel.

View 3 RepliesI wrote the following function

How to get the addEventListener command to output to the moveout function?
I have a loop that is supposed to run a set of functions and output movieclips on a main movieclip. Each of these smaller movieclip is supposed to be a tile. The code below is supposed to make 50 movieClips each one from a different reference on the tileSheet. However it outputs 50 of the exact same movieclips.
Code:
var tDMax:int = 50;
//Start Get tiles
function getTiles():void{
tList.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
tList.graphics.drawRect(0, 0,tWidth * 5, tHeight * 10);
[Code].....
Strange enough whatever I made tDMax which is supposed to be the limit for the loop, that's what all the movieclips become. For example if I put it at 25, then all the movieClips become tiles from the bitmap sheet reference # 25. That leads me to think that it's not passing the variable to the functions correctly, and it's only doing it once the loop finishes. But when I trace things like rowT and colT the references to the bitmap are correctly. And when I trade tn within the other functions that's always correct also..
Can I write onload function without using EventListener...? Iget boolean value from loader..?

View 2 RepliesI am using the following key listener to trigger a login function:
code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
login();
}}
Key.addListener(keyListener);
However this triggers the login function twice, which causes the user to get a error saying they are already logged in. I have a button on the stage which triggers the same function.
code:
login_btn.onRelease = login;
And this works fine. How I can ensure that the keylistener only triggers the login function once?
I'm trying and it doesn't seem to like it. I'm guessing it's not possible?[code]...
View 5 RepliesI am working on a game for my university project and I have run into a bit of trouble. I have the following code here:
function launchBall() {
this.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN ,launchBallHandler);
function launchBallHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (e.keyCode==32) {
[Code].....
Its set up so that when a ball goes off screen, it resets to a coordinate and launchBall is called.
LaunchBall then adds the event listener to see when the Space key is pressed and that starts the ball moving again. The problem I have now is I cant seem to get rid of that eventListener. I have tried removeEventListener and that doesn't seem to work. I have tried:
if (ball.xVel>0 && ball.yVel>0) {
removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,launchB allHandler);
just below that code and that doesn't work either. It's not spitting any errors out at me but I am completely stumped.
Well i have spent a long time getting the code i have so far from tutorials and the listener and function commands seem to work well for one button, but i need to know how to apply the existing code to the other buttons. This is the code i have:

1061: Call to a possibly undefined method startFade through a reference with static type Class.
I have four buttons named button1, button2, button3 and button4. I want the code to trace the name of the button when the button is clicked. This is just an eample of what I'm doing in my project. The project itself is too convoluted to put up and explain. My problem that needs to be solved is, how do I refer to the button in the Function?
var c:int;
var buttonName:String;
for (c = 1;c < 5;c++) {
buttonNum = "button"+c;
[Code]....
When I say "trace(this)", the code doesn't know what "this" is because I've taken this[buttonNum] out of the loop by having to put it in a Function. How do I call to the object that is in the listener that called the Function?
I just started a course that does a little flash. To teach us they have us build a brick breaker game. I have come to a part were I have to remove all the Listener that were created for the game. Each level is a movie clip and when the level is over the level instance is removed from the child. From what I understand when the level is removed the Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE becomes true and the function attached should be called however it is not. Here is the code of the function that sets the listener and the function to be called:
[Code]...
private function myFunction(numIn:Number){
trace ("numIn " + numIn);
}[code].....
This won't work, but can you see what I'm trying to do? It's kind of like a function pointer, or when you pass a function name into an event listener.
I have a method which registers an event listener to each of the MovieClips in an array I have. The method is inside a class, and so is the listener function. The problem is, I'm getting an error that's says "Access of undefined property handleNavToggle", even though is declared.
[Code]...
How can I pass more than one argument with a listener ?
ActionScript Code:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, myMethodName);
I would like to have
myMethodName(my parameter);
So I guess the usual stuff is to have
function listenToEvent(evt: Event){
//stuff
}
