I have a project where I'm removing code for bandwidth detection, but after I remove it, my code in the }else{ won't execute anymore like it did before. Not sure what I'm missing? Maybe a pair of curly braces somewhere? Here is before, and after bandwidth code removal:
stop();
images_xml = new XML();
images_xml.onLoad = startImageViewer;[code].....
Is there a way for flash to detect a user's bandwidth, and depending the size of bandwidth, stop loading, or continue with the load? Now that I'm thinking about it, this would probably be a javascript detection script and if the bandwidth is high, load .swf, if not load a .jpg?
View 3 RepliesI am having problems with this function, which is called when a button is pressed. I am loading a JPG with a movieClipLoader into a newly created movieclip, and while this is loading the other is still viewable and is faded and deleted when the new JPG has fully loaded, using the code below:
ActionScript Code:
function loadBigPicture(iValue:Number, firstTime:String):Void {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myBigPicture"+iValue, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(_level0["myBigPicture"+iValue]);
[Code].....
If the button is pressed extremely quickly again and again, the intervals begin to stop working
on the attached fla I have an "invisible" button (button with 0 alpha). I copied a script from the tutes section that will allow me to open a new window when the button is clicked.This works OK, but I also have a MC below the button layer and this MC has some AS attached to it which basically makes it fade out to the image on the bottom layer.
It seems to me that the button script makes the MC script stop working because it's above the MC layer (I've switched the button layer below the MC layer and the fade out then works, but the button doesn't.How can I get both scripts working together? I know that MC's can't work like buttons, but is there a work around this?

I'm trying to detect a user's bandwidth from my swf however, I have never used classes before so I'm all messed up. In the help file it says to do the following and when I do it gives an error of:
Quote:
1131: Classes must not be nested.
After reading the help file on Classes I don't understand why this below doesn't work when I put it in my fla. I have tried to put this in a separate file and save it as an .as and import it in but it didn't work.
ActionScript Code:
class Client {
public function onBWCheck(... rest):Number {
return 0;

I have a huge SWF. Instead of loading every frame and playing from the beginning with loadMovie(), is it possible to load only say frames 100 to 120? Also, if I have a pause button, how do I make loadMovie() stop loading to conserve network bandwidth?
View 4 RepliesWe are having a little problem implementing bandwidth detection with FMS, for some reason when enable it, bandwidth consumption spikes significantly I am wondering why? and if there a white paper somewhere that would talk about how properly implement this feature.
View 4 RepliesI use eventListeners to jump between frames.One of my frames displays a video. I imported the video as a component using the 'import video' function.It plays fine.When navigating away from the video I use the myVideo.stop(); command in AS3 to stop the video from continuing to play.or some reason, when I do this the buttons on my main page stop working.The code I use on the movie frame is:
cr_back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onCRBackClick);
function onCRBackClick(e:MouseEvent):void

The main AS timeline creates the enemy instance and calls them via the timer class. Inside the instance enemy movie clip there is some script to do a basic tween and there are functions to remove the enemy and to declare you've hit the enemy. The problem I'm having is when I try to call my KillEnemy function with a MouseEvent.CLICK (or MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP) event, it isn't registering, I realised this after testing the same function to listen for a MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_OUT, it worked perfectly.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? Not just that the mouse seems to be a little delicate, even with the roll over listener called it isn't registering the event unless it hits a specific part of the movie clip enemy, which leads me to believe the movieclip is somehow built incorrectly? But even when testing the game with extreme settings (i.e. leaving the enemies on screen for a long time) the mouse clicks aren't registering still. Something is broken! Here is some of code inside the enemy movie clip, the problem lies on line 11:

View 2 RepliesI know that the thread concept (as a class) does not exist in as3, but I don't understand very well the internal execution when I'm sending/receiving data via sockects.timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, endData);socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, receiveData);(The former event detector is just for sending data every X ms. The second one is activated when I receive something from the socket.)Then, the question is: "sendData" is executing in a different thread that "receiveData"?

I am tring to remove the flvplayback compiled clip from the stage with the following code but it only stop the movie, it does not remove the actuall player.

I have created a simple game which is started by a start button in a Movieclip that opens at the beginning using the code :
var splashscreen:MovieClip = new Splash();
splashscreen.x = 0;splashscreen.y = 0;
addChild(splashscreen);
The splashscreen movieClip has its own code :
Play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playgame);
function playgame(e:Event):void{parent.removeChild(this); Play_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playgame)
}
When I run the game the splashscreen does load and then disappears when the Play button is pressed but none of the eventlisteners seem to work. The background moves, the enemy ships fire but I can't move the ship or fire using the keyboard. The game works perfectly well when I don't use the splashscreen at the start.
I am working on someones as2 file and I noticed that they had an onEnterFrame running non stop in the movie. I don't use onEnterFrame personally. So I tried to create a conditional to stop it. While the conditional worked its stopped the fluid animation they had used. So I need to figure out some other way to get rid of the onEnterFrame. Anyone have any ideas here? The AS basically resizes a box on stage when certain movies are loaded.[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a BUNCH of bumpers of four types bounceUp, bounceDown, bounceLeft, bounceRight. during a collision which you hit determines the bounce so they always do the same thing so here's my question.....can i just name every bounceUp instance the same thing and then just add that one instance name to the list the collision detector checks?
i just dont wanna go through and name a hundred each of bounceUp s and bounceDown s individually as the potential for screaming increases proportionally.......
I need someone to look at my clip for me and tell me why it's not working. I have the stop(); in frame one and the last frame, I just don't understand.I can't attach the file here because i only have winrar and winzip 12 (which creates a .zipx - which won't upload...i tried)
View 1 RepliesSo, I'm working on a presentation/site that houses multiple sections being loaded in as individual swfs. I have each section shoot to a preloader frame first that is set (with PreloadAssetManager) to preload multiple FLVs and the SWF itself.If I select a new section while the current one is loading, it does the correct process of switching sections and shooting back to the preloader, but then the preloader itself just stops working completely. If I try to access any section, it just sits at a blank preloader. of thing.

I created a movie with several nested movie clips. within these movies are stop actions to prevent the clips from playing at the wrong time. I created the gotoAndPlay/stop functions to play these clips at certain points of the animation. Now at first these actions worked smoothly and exactly as i wanted, however after several test movies, some of the gotoandplay/stop functions stoped working. Has ne 1 ever ecounterd this problem is there a way repair these actions without recreating the whole movie? i tried rewritting the scripts and still does not work.

View 5 RepliesI have 2 main movie clips, one for the menu bar and one for the content, there is then a movie clip within each one of those, one to hold the set of buttons, and one to hold the content movie clips. The menu bar has a control to flip between 2 sets of buttons. the viva content button works fine to begin with, but after the menu bar control is clicked, the content buttons stops working. Code is as Follows: All of the code (bar a few stop() flags on cirtain frames) is located on frame 1 of the root, which is the only frame on the root.
barControl.barContent.barUp.addEventListener(Mouse Event.CLICK, menuSwitchHandle); barControl.barContent.barDown.addEventListener(Mou seEvent.CLICK, menuSwitchHandle); barControl.barContent.barMenu.vivaBtn.addEventList ener(MouseEvent.CLICK, vivaHandle);

I'm working on a school project in flash cs5.We've been stuck with this for a few days now, scanning all pages in google to find. At the moment we have two scenes. The first scene sets up a menu, these buttons are for navigating to the other scenes. The second scene, pulls a movie into the screen.We've tried putting a stop(); at the end of the first scene, but it doesn't stop. It stops the movie in scene 2.We've tried stopping in scene 2 and tried with frame labels, but we're not sure if we did this in the correct way.

The stop() is not working properly as if it were being ignored. I have even recreated a dummy flash document the stop() did work, however, it is still not working on the original design.
