ActionScript 2.0 :: Polling UI GoTo Different Frames?
Dec 23, 2009
This is one of those rich media interactive ads, that have the ability to launch another SWF using _root.myPR.openPanel(1); The user has 3 choices identified as option1, option2, option3. I would like to not just openPanel on pr_submitBtn.onRelease, but to have the panel open & advance to a particular frame depending on which option the user chooses in the poll. I have the following launching the panel but not going to different frame labels in the panel launched. All 3 options simply stop on frame "one".
Code:
if (option1 = true) {_root.myPR.openPanel(1, "one");
}
if (option2 = true) {_root.myPR.openPanel(1, "two");
[code].....

I setup this conditional statement. My intention was that if the object
foot_mc was on point0_mc then it will go to frame 5
OR
if foot_mc was on point1_mc it will go to frame 10....
function Oncheck(evt:MouseEvent):void{
if(foot_mc == point0_mc) return;{
gotoAndStop(5);
} if(foot_mc == point1_mc) return; {
gotoAndStop(10);
} if(foot_mc == point2_mc) return; {
gotoAndStop(15);
}}
I get no errors but it will always go to frame 15. Instead I want it to go to the selective frames depending on where foot_mc is...

I added a website preloader in a separate scene to the main frame of my website and scripted it to go to and Play the main scene or frame of the website when finished loading. I then put a command in the first frame of the main scene for the movie to stop (); at that point. The problem is that now the buttons on the main page don't respond to any behaviour commands to go to and stop at other frames in the main scene. I'm not sure if this is a conflict between the stop(); command in the main scene and the button behaviour command to go to and stop at another frame or an error with the way I'm identifying the scene and frame.

I'm trying to open a connection to a URL that will periodically send over a JSON object. I know that I need to use URLStream and some event callbacks, but I'm in the dark when it comes to knowing how streams of data "work," or the general flow of operations. Assume I know how to open the connection and send the correct request headers. First, some relevant code:

So I have streaming video coming in, and I want to know when it is buffering. This is fundamentally not that hard, just adding an EventListener for some type of buffering event, but I was wondering if this is necessarily the "best" way to do it.
My other thought was setting up a timer that polls the video feed every X milliseconds asking it if the video isBuffering(), or somesuch. While I could, in the worst case, wait the full X milliseconds before querying the video stream, I've decided that this doesn't actually matter to me; I can work around it, and indeed do so quite naturally already.
So I'm asking: is there substantial overhead involved in having an EventListener (assuming I already have quite a few), or is the advantage of catching the buffering event right away sufficiently appealing?

I'm building a remote presentation tool in AS3. In a nutshell, one user (the presenter) has access to a "table of contents" HTML page with links for each slide in the presentation, and an arbitrary number of viewers can watch the presentation on another page, which in turn is in the form of a SWF that polls the server every second to ensure that it's on the right slide. Whenever the admin clicks a slide link in the TOC, the database gets updated, and on its next request the presentation swf compares the label of the slide it's currently displaying to the response it got from the server. If the response differs from the current label, the swf scrubs through the timeline until it finds the right frame label; otherwise, it does nothing and waits for the next poll result (a second later).
Each slide consists of a movieclip with its own nested timeline that loops as long as the slide is displayed. There's no actionscript controlling any of the nested movieclips, nor is there any actionscript on the main timeline except the stop();s on each keyframe (each of which is a slide in the presentation).
Everything is built and working perfectly. The only thing that's troubling is that if the presentation swf is open for long enough (say, 20 minutes), the polling starts to have a noticeable effect on the framerate of the movieclips animating on any given slide. That is, every second, there's a noticeable drop in the framerate of the animations that lasts about three-tenths of a second, which is quite noticeable (and hence is a deal-breaker for the whole presentation suite!).
I know that AS3 has issues with memory management, and I've tried to be diligent in my re-use of objects and event listeners. The code itself is dead simple; there's a Timer instance that fires every second, which triggers a new URLRequest to be loaded by a URLLoader. The URLLoader is reused from call to call, while the URLRequest is not (it needs to be initialized with a new cache-killing value each time, retrieved from a call to new Date().time). The only objects instantiated in the entire class are the Timer, the URLLoader, the various URLRequests (which should be garbage-collected), and the only event listeners are on the Timer (added once), the URLLoader (added once), and on the routines that scrub backwards and forwards in the timeline to find the right slide (and they're removed once the correct slide is found).
I've been using mr doob's stats package to monitor memory usage, which definitely grows over time, so there's gotta be a leak somewhere (it grows from ~30 MB initially to > 200 MB after some scrubbing and about 25 minutes of uptime).

I have a flex app that polls a php script every 1-2 seconds and returns new data. The polling is done with a URLLoader.load call;the requests are HTTP GETs. The app listens for Event.COMPLETE, handles the incoming data, waits for 1 second, then makes another URLLoader.load call.
This process works perfectly for any duration from 4 to 20 minutes. Eventually, a URLLoader.load call fails to return Event.COMPLETE. Instead it hangs for 60 to 180 seconds (depending on which local network I'm using for internet access) and finally returns an ioErrorEvent.IO_ERROR with the message "Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: <mysite.com/foo.php". The app tries to make another URLLoader.load call, but from this point onward, none of the loads return Event.COMPLETE. Also, none of these post-error HTTP GETs appear in the access.log file of my apache (2.0.55) webserver. The app will not work again until I close and reopen the browser.
I've spent several days trying to figure this out! The time until the app crashes appears to be completely random. The problem occurs in both Firefox (2.0.0.15) and IE (7.0.5730.11). I've read that sometimes 2032 errors can be related to caching, but there's no directives (in .htaccess file or httpd.conf file) that sets the Pragma or Cache-Control response header to "no-cache".
I can't tell if the problem is on client or server end. Based on the adobe language references and the forum posts I've read, this seems to be an appropriate use of URLLoader. (In case you're wondering I want the app to respond to events in near real-time. I originally used xmlsocket to push data to app from server. However, this communication is blocked by corporate firewalls, so I need an alternative method)
Here is (cleaned up) code:

I want to create a preloader that plays a certain amount of frames as it loads the rest of the frames. So, I have labels on the frames basically and need a preloader to play the "loading" frames as it is loading the "content" frames. Does that make sense? I have no idea how to even start this one... p.s. I am using AS 2.0, but if it can be done in 3.0 easier, I can switch over its no biggie

there seems to be no accepted method of playing multiple flv using buttons. My latest attempt has me putting multiple instances of the flvPlayback component in different frames and using buttons to navigate to those frames. It works but nothing anyone has posted anywhere will result in removing the flv when you go to a different frame and instance. This was simple in AS2. Load movie to a traget and each time you load a new movie the other one goes away. REALLY goes away.

basically im making a quiz on my main timeline ive got my questions and answers and on the last frame i want it to say how many answers the user got right. ive made a movie clip on this last frame. in the movie clip ive got 11 frames with the posible totals so frame one would be 0/10 frame 2 would be 1/10 etc what i want to do is when the user clicks the correct answer on the other frames i want flash to make the frames within the movie clip to go 1 step forward.

I have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?

Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.

I know this may be a basic question, however.how to encode a Flash Video (possibly with Flash Video Encoder using Cue Points?) and when the video ends, direct the user to a specific url. In other words when the video is over the browser automatically refreshes to a specifc page.
is there a tutorial for somtehing like this?
Are there any code examples?
Can I use Flash video encoder and cue points, Or should I use Flash WITH video?

I have an flv video playing from a FLV Playback component. I am trying to have the movie goto the next scene at the end of the FLV video. I have go through numerous tutorials online to get the action to do this, but to no avail. I have tried both addeventlisteners and NS. way to have the movie advance to the next scene after the flv and where the AS has to be to get the movie to function properly.

I'm sitting here doing some C# programing and in one of my switch statements I ended up using the goto keyword. Well just out of curiosity I booted up FDT and created another switch statement in ActionScript 3. Well to my surprise there is apparently no goto keyword in AS3 or at least I couldn't find a substitution.

I have a program that loads a number of puzzle pieces torandom locations on a board. There is an eventlistener and code todetect if they are all together. Unfortunately, once in a while, even thoughits random, they overlap enough to trigger the later code and the programdiverts incorrectly. I can easily check for all the pieces on top ofeach other, butcan't seem to find how to return the code back a few lines inorder to reshuffle, similar to the goto line# in Vbasic.
