onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

I have a goofy issue going on with a drag/drop scroller. When i stop dragging the following onEnterFrame will not clear/stop unless you click on the movieclip again, then it clears.
Can one of you coder minded people see anything wrong with this? It works great, but i need it to clear as it's taking up that precious memory [code]...
I'm a newbie to the forum and AS3 and already searched through previous posts for the answer but couldn't find quite the right solution. I've got a simple animation, at the end of which I want to open a different URL. You can see my AS3 below (a mish mash of solutions I've found from all over). I've got it working such that the animation finishes playing and launches a browser window with the new URL, however it seems to be ignoring my "_self" statement and I can't stop the onEnterFrame from looping.

I'm programming a simple game for school, and now I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at actionscript::EnemyFighter/onEnteringFrame()
I think this is because the object that calls this function does not exist anymore (it is removed from the stage). However, I did add an event listener for this and let it remove the ENTER_FRAME event listener. Therefore, this function should not be called anymore...
I tried to give the class a variable 'exists', then setting this to 'false' in the function that is called when the object is removed from stage. Also, this onEnteringFrame function first checks whether this 'exists' variable is true before executing any code... This also didn't solve my problem...
So in the end, it seems like the ENTER_FRAME is always called before the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event. Is there anyway to turn this around?

How can one stop an onEnterFrame function?
View 5 RepliesI'm creating a complex site, with lots of calculations, while I have to keep it as light as possible. I don't want to have 50 .onEnterFrame's running simultaneously, so, how do I stop them? See example: Let's say I want a simple movement, invoked by some reason:
Code:
mcChild.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(mcChild._x < mcParent._width){
mcChild._x += 5;
}}
Now I want to stop the .onEnterFrame check, because it reached the if = false - How??
I have a movie clip on the main timeline with an instance name odometer_mc. nested in that mc there are seven movie clips, two are named m100_mc, and km1_mc. I want to get km1_mc to play when m100_mc gets to frame 20.
View 4 RepliesI used kirupas tutorial 'Complex Button RollOver/Rollout Effects' to make a menu that slides down when you roll over it. I have buttons inside that menu_mc - but they dont work.
My question is - does the on enter frame function prevent buttons from working?
Here is the code that is inside my menu_mc:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();

any consise methods to restart a deleted onEnterFrame that has been deleted?
View 3 RepliesI thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tweenone)
myTimer.start();
function tweenone (event:Event):void[code]...........
I have a contact form for which I have a tween. That contact form consists of two keyframes, first the form, I tried putting the code stop(); in the first keyframe but it didn't stop. I then changed stop(); to _root.stop();, which didn't work either. I have to stop it because otherwise users would see a thank you note before they even enter their details. What can I do? Converting to movieclip didn't work either, besides it puts a funny character when I press AltGr

View 2 RepliesI have a script with some onEnterFrame's.. my problem is that I can't evoke more than one of the functions in "onframe()".. after the first function "onframe1()" has ended nothing more happens.. if I switch the two functions ("onframe1()" and "onframe2()" arround or I escape the first the script still ends after the first function is done
function onframe(){ var i = 0; onEnterFrame = function() if(i == 10) onframe1(); if(i == 200) onframe2();//delete this.onEnterFrame; i++; }}

View 1 RepliesSay I have 100 MC's (movie clips) in my scene that are spreading out in _x and _y. On every frame I need to check each of those MC's for a hitTest (or anything really). Would it be more programatically efficient to:A) Create a single array to hold all the MC's and do a for...loop to check all of themorB) When each MC is created create an onEnterFrame to check only itself (x100)?Hope this makes sense. This is an argument between me and my partner as to which will be the less processor intensive. My theory is that there would be no difference but I've read no documentation for it
View 3 RepliesI have a set of movie clips that are attached to the stage every so often. The attached movie clips all move independently with their own class code. After I changed something in an unrelated class, my attached movie clips only run their onEnterFrame() code once, instead of once per frame. I called up the list of variables, and my movies (which are passed into an array) are all "undefined". I'm not really sure whats causing these movie clips to not run their code properly. This is the code for attaching them:
ActionScript Code:
var target = _root.attachMovie("Target", "Target" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.framework.depth[7]);
target._y = _root.framework.paths[attachlocation][0]._y

Ok, This actually works butI want it out of EnterFrame. what is going on is this... The user moves a movieClip called selector.selectorCollisionBox over the movieClip called fG.buidling1 Then the string buildingName is no longer NULL or "", it becomes whatever I set it to. Also a Button is added to the top of the selector so the user can click that and 'enter the building' to view info about it.(or that last part is the plan down the road)
[Code]...
problem is, it seems like it is checking this constantly because I have it on EnterFrame. Is there a way to make an event that just specifically looks for if (selector.selectorCollisionBox.hitTestObject(fG.bu ilding1)) ?? Or better yet, maybe I can have a boolean, overBuilding1 = true that fires all those properties off once instead of every EnterFrame? That way onEnterFrame just fires off a condition? I am so close to understanding this.. I feel like I am at my last brain hurdle.
can you delete a onEnterFrame that is placed on the MC its self, for example:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){i=0}
onClipEvent(onenterFrame){
i++
if(i>50){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
the concept is simple and works when placed on the timeline but does not work when placed directly on the MC.
ok, should this work or am i barking up the wrong tree?
Code:
onEnterFrame = traceMe("test")
traceMe = function(param){

Im quite confused its early in the morning i have just made a vnice website layout and i cant think of how to play a MoveClip on enter each page... On enter page to play a "Flash" Effect like a page transaction.
View 1 RepliesI have this code to go through all my movieclips and give EACH of them an onEnterFrame function.
Code:
for (var i = 0; i<menuTot; i++) {
var thumb:MovieClip = holdThumb.attachMovie("thumb", "thumb"+i,holdThumb.getNextHighestDepth());
thumb.onEnterFrame = function() {
//whatever
}
};
So the problem is that the only onEnterFrame function that works is the last movieclip. Obviously there is somthing wrong when defining it as it is only taking the last thumb variable for the name. How do I get it so each thumb clip gets its own onEnterFrame function?

View 1 RepliesI am studying �classes� in order to develop one that allows me to drive a car. After some tries a doubt came out: where to put the controls to drive the car? I mean, where to put the OnEnterFrame handler to refresh the position of the car? In the class or in the main fla?
Code:
//Main .fla
stop();
var Car:car= new car ();
var onEnterFrame:Function = Update;

Is it possible to have the handler in the class?
The gallery I am working on works fine when I preview it, and fine in IE, but not fine in firefox.
you can see it here:

I have narrowed it down to firefox not liking the loader.onEnterFrame, but even when I change it too a movieclip thats already there, no luck. infact, it only seems to work if I change it to the root onEnterFrame, but I need that for my scroller (which lags if you place it in any other.onEnterFrame, annoyingly).
is this something to do with firefox, or is it a code problem?
here is the fla, if you'd like to have a poke around for me (cs3 format, but I can do different ones if needs be):
