ActionScript 2.0 :: Statement Must Appear Within On/onClipEvent Handler?
Jan 4, 2009
I am just learning Flash. I'm using Flash CS4, However I am using Actionscript 1.0/2.0. I have a main page with just simple buttons, and such. My question is, I need to load a swf within my main page. I have a sqaure in the center of my page that I want to load a swf in. I made a rectangle using the rectangle tool, and converted the rectangle into a symbol so that actions may be placed within it. I want to load a file called News.swf within the rectangle. I can't find any code to do this that doesnt have compiler errors.
I found one code: News.loadMovie("News.swf"); when I put just that in the Actions field, and I export the movie I get the error: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
I just want to load News.swf in the actions tab within a symbol.

So i put an empty MovieClip on the following frame. the button directs me to the empty frame where a pre-loader should start, but nothing happens. here is the code i last tried:

First here is my code:
[Code]...
Simple really. This event handler tells 3 different movie clips to play forwards and backwards depending if the main movie clip has been rolled over. This all works fine... what I can't seem to work out is when the movie clip is clicked I would like this event to stop and become disabled.

I have been asked by a local web development company to code some flash banners for use with there banner ad site they are doing. I have been sent a banner to add the actionscript and also the actionscript as well. What I have is a fla doc with a button that covers the whole banner. Then on the banner I have this actionscript:-
this.masterButton_but.onRelease = function(){ if (root.Hyperlink != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else if(root.clickTag != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else{ getURL("http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=3"); } }
When I test it the compiler errors and says in the description "Statement must appear within on handler".

I would like to use variables in my flash app. The app is quite simple, has many buttons, and on each of those buttons I have a simple script: on-rollover and on-release. For both actions I use the same value, which I want to put in a variable. The following script results in an error message: Statement must appear within on handler. When I have to declare the variable inside the on-handler, I have to declare it twice, which makes it useless as I have to enter the value twice. How can I get this working?
country = "uk"
on (rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(country)}
on (release){ getURL("/"+country+"/", "_self");}

sw1 = text input
asw1 = text input
My problem is that is sw1 when I put in "188" it gives me "28.73" instead of "209.43". If I put in "2" it gives me "28.73" instead of "21.78". So it really doesn't work. My other "If" "Else If" statement works.
Code:
protected function sw1_changeHandler(event:TextOperationEvent):void{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (sw1.text <= String ( Number("18.325")) && sw1.text >= String ( Number("1"))){
(asw1.text = String ( Number("21.78")));
} else if (sw1.text <= String ( Number("24.83")) && sw1.text >= String ( Number("18.326"))){

Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.
My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.
I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
Heres the code:
Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
[code]....
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

what I'm trying to do is create an else if argument for each object in an array based on a user set number
Code:
for(var i:int=0; i < numberOfElseIfs; i++){
GENERATE AS3 CODE
}
to which I want it to GENERATE THE FOLLOWING CODE:
Code:
}else if(baskets[i].used == false){
baskets[i].used = true;
drawButton(i);
}
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?

This is my AS code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = Math.random()*2+90;
this._y = Math.random()*2+60;
this._alpha = Math.random()*30+50;
}
It is applied to the movie clip. I am having trouble figuring out how to STOP to action. I want it to stop after 10 seconds. How do I do this?

I am trying to change the images the following calls up. (Using CS4 and AS 2.0)
onClipEvent (load)
{
imageProperties = _root.getCurrentImageName(0);
loadMovie(_root.url + imageProperties.name, this.cont.pic);
[code]....
I get that I could find the image in the directory and just change it out with the same name/pixel size, but I'd also like to add more images to this particular project with the same conditions.

I have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.
