ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Intervals Being Created - Need One At A Time?
Aug 12, 2008
Its seems a problem I am having is to do with setIntervals in a while loop. I clear what seems to be the interval but as another interval is started before the last one finish I then have multiple intervals. I can close them all down with this...
for (i= checkImage;i>0;i--){
trace("clearInterval(checkImage) " +i);
clearInterval(i);}
But that ofcourse closes the rest down before they have done what I need.
I think my while loop needs to change? Here is the current while loop code....
function loadImages(){
while (imageWidthList[leftPictureNumber+imagesDisplayed] > 0 and xPosition +(imageWidthList[leftPictureNumber+imagesDisplayed]+(borderThickness*3)) < 700) {
var img_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
linkLayer = this.createEmptyMovieClip("link"+(leftPictureNumbe r+imagesDisplayed), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
[Code] .....
Is there a way that straight after the setInterval and the loadClip the function watchMyImageLoad is run to completion before continuing in the while loop. What I have seen is that the while loop continues until the condition has been met and then all the intervals are run?

I've got one function that I'm running, but I need it to run at different times for different movie clips.Here's my code. What is wrong with this?
ActionScript Code:
function tweenText(_TEXT:MovieClip, _START:Number, _END:Number, _SEC:Number, _INTERVAL:Number) {
var xTween:Tween = new Tween(_TEXT, "_x", Strong.easeOut, _START, _END, _SEC, true);
clearInterval(_INTERVAL);

I am having trouble creating a simple flash music metronome. Specifically, I can't figure out how to determine the position of a slider and use this position to determine how frequently to play a certain imported sound. I would also like to be able to display the tempo on the screen.

It feels like it's been ages since I've worked in Action Script (dissapointingly the demand just isn't there for me) and I'm really, really rusty.
I'm working on a Flash banner, and one particular part has 5 movie clips. I want each movie clip to fire off at separate intervals(i set it at 300 miliseconds per clip)
Here is the code I have written that works for two clips:
Code:
//Animate each icon
var timer:Timer = new Timer(300, 1);//create the timer
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, doNextTween);
timer.start();

panning my content from left to right (with stop as intervals) then right to left (also with intervals)
1. I created an mc (name: "content")Notice in this mc, I layout 4 sets of text (like a page) from left to right
2. I created another mc (name: "pancontent_mc")
-I added a layer for "content" and created a motion tween for it to pan from left to right
-I created a mask layer on top of "content" that will show 1 set at a time
-I created an action layer that has total of 4 stops(); on each frame where the 4 sets of text will show directly under the mask.
3. maintimeline -There's only 1 layer. I placed an instance of buttons (left/right) and an instance of "pancontent_mc"
4. actions for right button, works fine and stops on each set of text.
on (release) {
this.pancontent.play();
}
5. actions for left button - none. I havent figured this out yet.
on (release) {
this.pancontent. - something like play previous frame until stop...
}

i use loadmovie() to load youtube videos inside my flash website but when i load another video the old one doesn't stop, so i tried unloadmovie to destroy it but it seems that i did a mistake in my code
This is how the code looks to stop the old one an load the new:
vloader.unloadMovie();
vloader.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/Alw5hs0chj0&hl=fr&fs=1hJ-mPcGtC");
How to do that? use other objects or classes, i only want to edit that code.
Note: I have an empty MOVIE CLIP called "vloader" where i load the video player.

I am trying to create 2 dynamic text fields at run time and load an XML in the fields. These 2 text fields are separated by a small space between them no matter how many lines of text the XML file contains.After few attempts there is still a problem with loading 1 of the 2 external XML files.The attached example loads 1 of the 2 XML files only when the text of text field 1 is written inside Flash.one_txt.text = "write some text here"When i try to load on both fields XML files an error comes up which I am not able to figure out why!

It seems more efficient to store events on the dispatcher if they're never going to change. Isn't creating them costly? Is there some kind of information I'm losing if I dispatch an already-stored event?

I have a dialog box object, every time a dialog box is created I want to disable clicking on everything else until it's closed. I was thinking about doing ...mouseChildren = false;, but because the dialog box is a child of that itself it wouldn't work out too well. Is there an easier way to disable mouse events on only certain things? I know I could add this as a separate child directly to my main displayobject, aside from the rest of the GUI, but is that the best way?

every so often a movieclip is dynamically created using actionscript from the main timeline. It has the instance name of
Code:
["spark" + i]
each time one is created "i" goes up 1. so I end up with spark1, spark2, spark3, spark4 etc. etc.What they need to do is play through an animation (about 4 frames) and then destroy themselves.

I have made an input text filed in frame 2 (made at authoring time) and populated a variable with it i.e var g_nameEntry: String; g_nameEntry = nameField_txt.text; and now have performed the concactenation with this variable in the Frame 4 i.e loserField_txt.text = "Sorry" +g_nameEntry where loserField_txt is another dynamic field created at authoring time in Frame4. However this is not working.

I have four dynamic text field created at the authoring time in Frame-4. I just need them to be placed randomly every time when I come from Frame3. I have known that there is a Math Class which generates random numbers which would be an effective way. how do I proceed ahead i.e shall I create an array and seed it with the their current positions etc etc

on my stage i have 24 instance MC Page created at runtime (when cliked the button execute 24 instance MC Page from the library). Each of those MC Page create an xml with infos (not important), this variable_XML created is nested inside each MC Page.. From my stage i want to call each XML from each MC Page for make 1 unic big xml, then send it to the server.
So from the main stage i created a button that call each xml of each MC Page (there is a definit number of Page only 24, no more, no less). So when the 24 instances of the MC Page are created I push there instance name inside an Array "Page_Array". Now in my function exportxml i use get ChildByName(Page_array[number]) for find them then i can apply my method to the according MCPage.. Until here no problem, trace(dispObject.name) work. but when i try to get my variable inside the MC Page : trace(dispObject.my_variableXML), it doesnt work..
here is my function (only 1 page for this example ):
function exportxml(evt:MouseEvent):void { dispObject=getChildByName(Page_Array[0]); trace(dispObject.name); //trace Page1 trace(dispObject.my_variableXML);// here it dont trace the variableXML
}
normally if i trace(Page1.my_variableXML); , it should trace "my_varableXML" no ??

Trying to add a set of movie clips to the stage in a loop. I need to be able to reference them on a mouseDown function - but the projHolder var in the mouse event is coming up undefined. Any ideas how to accomplish something like this?
for (var i=0; i <intWorkCount; i++) {
var projHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
projHolder.name = 'projHolder' + (i);

I'm creating buttons like so:
for (k=0; k<5; k++) {
myLink = new LinkClass();
myLink.name = "link" + k;
box.boxMC.linksMC.addChild(myLink);
}
This creates 4 movieClips with the names "link0", "link1", etc. How do I remove them? I try this:
box.boxMC.linksMC.removeChild(myLink);
But it just removes the last one made (link3). How do I have all of them removed?

So I'm working on a Flash version of the old "Robots!" game. In case you're not familiar: the game lays out a number of robots on a grid (number varies by level), and drops the player in the middle. As the player moves around the grid, the robots all move towards the player one grid space per player move. The object is to destroy all the robots by making them run into each other (or the rubble left from previous collisions) without letting a robot run into you.
Anyway, my robot hordes are being created on the stage through a "for" loop, and each icon is a child of variable "evilBot" which references a library item with the class name "enemy."
ActionScript Code:
function placeBots():void{
for (var c = 0; c < numBots; c++){
evilBot = new enemy;
[Code]....
I've run a trace on "evilBot.name" and verified that the children are being given instance names of "evilBot0, evilBot1 ..." and so on. But no matter what I try, I can't issue instructions (regarding movement, orientation, etc) to individual children.
Using a for loop and "this["evilBot" + x]" returns a "term is undefined" error.
If I store the instance names in an array (named "botName") and use "evilBot.name[botName[x]]", I get the error "Property evilBot0 not found on String and there is no default value."

I thought this would be simple but for some reason I'm having all kinds of problems. Why won't the for loop create a new c instance each time the loop increments, like it does for sHolder and s? ...And, assuming it is possible to make it do this, how can each instance be given an identifier that can be accessed dynamically, like sHolder and s in the traceSomething function?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.geom.ColorTransform;

So I have an object, generated on each click of the mouse. It's set up as a series of points with properties, with values for position randomly calculated, and set around where the user clicks the mouse. Lines are drawn from where the mouse is clicked out to each of these points, so it kind of looks like a star, but only lines, rather than a solid shape (like those old 50's atom clocks?). So once clicked there's an enter frame event listener on the object so that each of the points 'wobble' (using a randomly generated number) up and down around the original point.
For some reason, I can either set it so that on each new click of the mouse and newly generated object, the last one stops "wobbling" and only the new one does, or each new object moves to where the new object is, and maybe is still wobbling(?), but is underneath the new object. This way has the event.target as a new object in the wobble function, so I think it may be just a case of where the centre point is - i.e. saving the mouse x and y for each object individually, or perhaps I have too much of the setup function code repeated in my "wobble"function?

I'd like to change a timer interval, In my code I first initialize the timer with a selected interval with :
Code:
gameTimer=new Timer(interval,0);
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
gameTimer.start();
Then, I need afterwards to change the interval, so I try to stop the timer, remove the listener
Code:
gameTimer.stop();
gameTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
And when I init again the timer with the same code:
Code:
gameTimer=new Timer(interval,0);
gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, IALoop);
gameTimer.start();
It's like if i had 2 timers, and when i stop the timer, it continues, I guess it's because of the new object that I create, but I can't found a method to change the interval of the existing timer..

is there a way to drag multiple movieClips at the same time? Flash help explicitly says: Only one movie clip can be dragged at a time. After a startDrag() operation is executed, the movie clip remains draggable until it is explicitly stopped by stopDrag() or until a startDrag() action for another movie clip is called. anyone know of a way to do it anyway? maybe combining them in a dynamic mc or something?

I would like to play two videos (progressive), on top of each other. Nothing serious. But the second video contains multiple counters that has to play synchrone (with other words:simultaneously) with the first video.The second video (which is much smaller than the first) will preload much quicker and thereby starts playing earlier than the other video. Is there a way to start the video's at the same time and play them in progressive mode? (embedding is not an option because of the large filesize)

i 'd like to know if there is a way to clear all Intervals in a movie with one command.in my current project I use setInterval()very often in different clips and though i cleanly put the corresponding clearInterval() commands in the script I realized, that on slow computers some of them don't get stopped.Which puts more weight on the CPU and sometimes slows down the comp very much.

I just started learning Flash as part of a project, consisting of a spider-like figure which is supposed to vibrate every 20 seconds. I've basically got the vibrating to work but am having more trouble learning about getting it to vibrate at different intervals. I was hoping that someone here could point me in the right direction as to where to find this information, even an applicable tutorial or something.

I am working on a Flash Video player and am implementing the ability to start a video at x time within the span of an FLV (served from FMS). I am able to start it x seconds into a stream without any issue using
netStream.play(source, startTime);
but as far as I can tell, it only supports seconds. I am looking to be able to give a start time (or even a seek time if that is supported) in milliseconds, or really anything more precise than whole seconds.
Anyone know of any way to achieve this even by monkey patching the fl classes?
