I basically want to perform several if the statement when on movie clip is clicked.
an onRelease trigger that activates two if then statement that change the frames of 2 movie clips.
i've just written the function below and I want to perform it multiple times but with different urls,
[Code]...
i am trying this withou succes
Code:
curr_item.onRelease = DelegateFD.create(this, generateSubMenu, curr_menu, "submenu_mc", curr_item._x, 225, 1000, curr_item.node_xml);
curr_item.onRelease = DelegateFD.create(this, releaseMenu, curr_item, curr_item.gotoURL, curr_item.pageTitle);
But only the last function releaseMenu is being executed
Apologies if this has been posted b4, but I cannot find anything in the search...
I want to trigger functions according to a set condition... what I am trying to say is.....
if ( the value is more than 6 but less than 18) {
do this()// everything between and including 6 and 18 , i want to trigger 1 function......
} else {
do this()
//everything else 1,2,3,4,5,19,20,21 etc I would like to trigger another function
}
[Code]....
When I run the above, it doesn't seem to trigger the imgDisplay or imgLoading functions(imgLoading was supposed to be progress event, but I changed it for testing).....it seems, the eventListeners are not working
I build a game that is working great on its own.Using keyboard events enter frame.When i load it in another movie, i cant trigger functions that are mapped on keyboard events.The listener is executed, but doesnt listen.On its own fine, loaded into another movie: no keyb events and from time to time enter frame event errors.I can access the keybard functions AFTER clickin on the movieclip that contains my loaded swf.
View 3 RepliesAfter about a week of arduous debugging and restructuring I've finally got my game engine to compile and run without any errors or wierd output. However, my control code, which I've moved almost untouched into it's own class, is failing to function due to events not triggering. It can be found at the bottom of this post, but I had to delete the contents of a few functions to make it fit in the char limit. The functions that are empty, aren't like that in the actual code, they didn't seem relevant to the problem.The important part to note in it is my block of addEventListener lines, flanked on either side by a trace message. Both of those traces fire successfully, so that would seem to indicate that the event listeners are being added fine.
The problem is that no events fire. At all. None of them. Keyboard and mouse input does not trigger the appropriate functions, I've tried traces just inside each of them, and they are never triggered.ctually, one event does fire correctly. The one that runs every frame. That goes perfectly, but the others do not.Is there any obvious flaw in my code that could cause it? Other than this, the entire application runs perfectly, without a single compile error and nothing in the output box except my traces.

I'm using for loop to display 3lifes on stage using:

and I have already create a hitTestObject on the character, once the character comes in contact with a movieclip, removeChild(Life); is triggered. The first child removed successfully but when it comes to the second one, an error appear:

What should I do to solve this? and how do I trigger an event after no more life is left?
I need to show and hide multiple DIV layers by clicking on buttons inside an embedded flash movie. I looked around and the closest I got was this tutorial here:
[URL]
but the problem is I need 10 buttons to each show one layer while hiding the other ones. For example, I click button 1, layer 1 shows, then I click on button 5, layer 1 is hidden and layer 5 shows etc.
How can the above code be split so instead of showing all DIV layers at once, it shows one and hides the rest??
Below is code that has a timer countdown that reads off of the computer. Below in bold is code to read "if it reaches the date, go to and play frame (2).

Below is code that is manual input - I had set up a dynamic txt field in flash named it : raffle_tix_remain When loaded on to the host I can manulally update the xml code and the change will take effect. raffle_tix_remain.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters.raffle_tix_remain;
My question: Since the raffle_tix_remain is a manual input from a user to xml Is there a way to tell flash once it refreshes and "raffle_ tix_ remain" goes to (0)zero gotoAndPlay(2); and let it play like a "sold out" sign i guess that would be a if else statement.

I have multiple buttons with the following script applied which waits a second while a transition animation plays then loads a new image into the container... There seems to be a problem with having this code applied to multiple buttons unless I make the function and interval identifiers unique (i.e. transitiondelay1/waitFunction1,transitiondelay2/waitFunction2, etc.). I don't really want to have to do this to each button.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am building a Flash site with a boombox animation. I have the below code I am using. I am using just two frames. First frame, is where I put the code in the actions layer, boombox is still. In the second frame, I placed my movie clips on layers (woofers vibrating & tape deck spins). No code in second frame. So, if you hit the play, previous or forward button a song goes on and the animation start. If you press the pause button, animations stop with music. I have created 2 functions per button.
2 questions: 1 - Is this the best way to do it? If I press the buttons quickly, sometimes a song gets stuck and I can't stop, forward, etc. I was wondering if this was the code?
2 - I am tweening in my pages using AS3 - not timeline. I have a music and video page (each a movieclip). Is there a way that once I tween in the new movie clip (non-music of vid page) that the music or video can shut off?

I have used the loader script to load an external swf into current project. I have added a button to unload the external file when wanted, and was wondering if you could have multiple functions for that button, so that when you click it to unload it works as a 'home' button as well, and takes the user back to the mainpage again?Might be wise to mention that im kinda new to adobe flash and as3, and not sure if the way i have used to load the external swf was the easiest. Seems like a few have had some issues with this subject before me as well.
View 8 RepliesHow would I manage to enable a button to perform several operations? I want a button to do the following.
I want it to change colour etc, when it is hovered over, I also want it to activate anther flash file on the page via local connection on release. How do I allow the button to set up different actions? Do I need to make 2 separate invisible buttons? And have action script applied to both of them for the 2 commands? How for example would I be able to extend this so that I can have the button doing several things? Say:
1) On rollover it changes colour
2) On rollover it activates a flash mc on the page
3) On Click it changes colour
4) On release it takes the user to another page
how to make button do multiple things at the same time. i.e when button is pressed it animates object1 and object2 i have a buttons that opens a sliding door (code is:
on (release) {
control.gotoAndStop(2);
}
so it opens a door where sound control is and i want for the same button at the same time to open lets say another door somewhere in the same stage with a music tracks in ther
I'm trying to fiqure out a way to have multiple SetInterval functions. what I'm trying to do is have text highlight a sentence using the setinterval function than after the number of chars needed are highlighted I want to be able to clear the interval and then start with the next sentence through another setInterval.
The program I'm trying to write is somewhat of a text to speech. I have a audio clip and a static text box. the audio is supposed to sync with the highlight of the text. the only way i could fiqure to generate the sync with a highlight was through setSelection as a loop.
Code:
var i:Number = 0;
var my_snap:TextSnapshot = test.getTextSnapshot();
var count:Number = my_snap.getCount()
my_snap.setSelectColor(0xffff00);

So i think i have fully coded my calculator but it still doesn't seem to be performing the calculations correctly. I can't see where i am going wrong. If i perform a calculation let's say 6*2 it outputs NaN then i straight away + by let's say 5 it outputs NaN again. And it doesn't make the operators display only once, so if i click on '+' twice it will display twice in the display when it is meant to only display once and in one of my functions i cleared the display field so that it would replace the number's when the next operation is performed but it doesn't seem to be doing that. I have been going over the code several times but i can't seem to identify where the problem is coming from.
Actionscript Code:[code].....
I have not added the full code as it is too long, i have just added the parts which relate to each other. I am just doing everything entirely through actionscript, nothing is on stage apart from the display and answer text fields.
Is it not possible to call more than one function at a time?, this is my problem:-
btn.onRelease = function()
{
blah();
something();
jump();
}
When I run something like the one above, jump is executed but everything else is ignored, would really like to run all functions at the same time.
Most flash games and interactive animations that use keyboard events are made to respond in different ways to different keys.I am working on games for toddlers, who basically just bang on the keyboard indiscriminately. The trouble I'm having is setting up keyboard eventlisteners (key_up) that each perform different function.We're talking games like: when key pressed, ducky dances; when key pressed, doggy dances; when key is pressed, ducky and doggy go to sleep. I've attempted removing the listener before adding the next one:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, doSomething);
function doSomething(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
{make it do something;

I really need a Timer that shoots multiple functions. The Timer Class just handles one function and therefore is not good enough for my project. The Timer should work something like this:
After 1 seconds fire functionOne
After 4 seconds fire functionTwo
...and so on...
Time is really crucial in my project (down to milliseconds) so I really can't use the Timer Class and fire "new" Timers all the time because Flash needs some milliseconds to process all the code and in the end it sums up to kind of a lot of time.
can you make a button have multiple functions? as in if i click a button one and imahe will pop up and then click that same button and another different image will pop up??
View 1 RepliesI'm using the below code to have a button that adds a MC to the stage. The problem is that I have over a dozen of these buttons and I'd rather not have to write out the event listener and function for every single button. Is there a way to use a single function for all the buttons and just change what MC is added based on which button is clicked? So if the user clicks on the draw5 button the function adds the deck5 MC to the stage?[code]
View 7 RepliesAs I've been working with AS I've developed a collection of utility functions. For example:
$ cat utils/curried.as
package utils {
public function curried(f:Function, ...boundArgs):Function {

And I've found that, some times, I want to keep more than one public function in each file... But ActionScript restricts me to one public definition per file, if that file defines its self as being part of a package.
So, without creating a class with static methods, how could I get more than one public function in a single .as file?
I was thinking can you call multiple functions at one time Like instead of

I have been trying to figure out this by myself for a while and needless to say, I have been completely unsuccessful. I have various a loop that creates multiple movie clips called: movie1, movie2, movie3, movie4... (you get the idea...) i want to assign roll over,roll out, press functions to all of theme.g. when you press on one movie, it highlights it.but I am trying to find a summarized way over writing each one out:
movie1.onRollOver=function(){
something happens
}
someonne once told me to use chartAt to do this, to reference different mcs, but I cant figure out how to do it.
I�m trying to use Listeners to capture the MouseUp event based on Helen Triolo�s sample at [URL]I reused her code and loaded the listener�s array (with MC names that will listen to the MU event) from a textfile.My problem is that I don�t have these MCs on the _root. They�re located deep in the MC hierarchy, this way: MCComponent-->MC1-->MC2-->MCs I want to address for listening (I have about 250 MCs in this level of depth which I want to to address for listening)So, when defining the MouseUp function for each MC to respond to, I couldn�t address the MCs. I tried in different ways without any result.
This is the code:
// set up responders for each listener
// listeners is the Array with MC names which I loaded from
// the textfile
for (var i in listeners) {
[code].....
Is there any way of making this work? Is there something missing in this code ? Note: I cannot put these MCs on the root because of other functionalities that they need to accomplish...By the way..., what about RollOver and RollOut ? Can they be captured too ? I�ve read about capturing MouseUp, Move and Down but not Rollovers...
For the past half-year I've been coding like this:
ActionScript Code:
_root.menu_mc.link1.onRollOver = function () {
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.htmlText = "<FONT COLOR='#000000'>" + "Cool" + "</FONT>";
_root.menu_mc.link1.text.thickness = 100;

I know and I've seen some more efficent code such as, making loops and assigning variables.
get started by making the above code more efficient? I've attached the source file.
In C++/Java you can do this to import a library of functions to your current file.
Code:
#include <someFuncitons.h>
Is there a similar command in Actionscript? I want to use some commonly used functions over multiple SWF files and don't want to copy and paste all of them into each file.
I have a rather general question regarding OOP. How do constructor functions execute with multiple class extensions? I'm making an orbital physics simulation, and every spatial body is of the class SpaceObject, which extends Sprite. Then, I have all earth-type planets be of the class Earth, which extends SpaceObject. There are certain parameters that I'd like to set for every single SpaceObject (like position and size) in the constructor function, and certain parameters (like density and mass) that I'd like to set in the constructor of class Earth.But from the main timeline, when I create an instance of class Earth, I can only enter the parameters of the Earth constructor, ie
Code:
var planet1:Earth = new Earth(density, mass)
Or I can create an instance of SpaceObject:
