View 4 RepliesI am encountering this problem where I need a user to enter data in a text field but I can't invalidate their input if they just enter spaces. What I mean is that right now I can alert the user to enter the data in the text field (required field in form type of situation) if they don't enter any characters but the glitch of my system is that it goes through if they just enter spaces with the space bar. QUESTION: Can I find out that the characters in my text field entered by the user are not SPACES??

I've been programming a simple shopping cart. The system has several product categories, and in each one, appears a list of products. Each product listing has a numeric stepper, for the client to put desired product quantity.
Now I have two Arrays (lets call them "arrayCat6" and the other "arrayEncomenda6"). arrayCat6 tells me the quantities for each product, even if the quantity is zero. The other is supposed to put only those whose quantity is different from zero.
The question I have is that, if in the products you choose two products, that have another one with zero quantity between them, the arrayEncomenda6 will have and empty entry, between the two products, and I don't understand why. Both Arrays are refreshed each time the numericstepper (of any product) is pressed.
Please does anyone know if this is a bug, or am I forgeting something. The code follows:
function actualiza6(event:Event):void{
var parcial:Number=0;
var aux_preco:String;

I'm filling arrays from a XML. These arrays have dynamic textFields inside them, and these textFields are childs of a movieclip.
I tween this movieclip, therefore making the array of textFields animate on the stage one by one. There are two sources of XML, one from an actual site, and another from a XML stored in the hdd. First i fill the arrays of textFields, and then animate the movieclip. I do this for the first one, then animate it, do it again for the 2nd one, animate it, again for the 1st one, animate it, so on so on.
myTween = new Tween(mc,"x",None.easeNone,sizeOfStage,0 - mc.width,mcSpeedAuto,true);
my tween ends at 0 - mc.width, the problem is, if i tween first the
"bigger" XML, when the next one which is smaller gets tweened, there's loads of empty space before it tweens the big one again (tweening whitespace?).
myTween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, onFinish);
onFinish i clear all the arrays (otherwise the tweening of the 2nd one would still have information of the 1st one e.g: 1st has 25 fields, second has 10, 1st shows it's 25 fields, 2nd shows 10, and the 15 that were left from from the 1st one) and call the tween on the 2nd one. I thought that by doing this i'd be clearing all that white space too, apparently not. I think the mc.width just keeps the "bigger" value and always tweens with that, taking longer to end in the 2nd case. I've tried setting the mc.width as the sum of textfield width's everytime i fill the arrays, but this hasn't worked either
Is there a way to have a rollover's listener trigger it's method as long as the mouse is in bounds of the target movie clip? I have a rollover being listened for by a movie clip that contains multiple children and none that fill the entire space so the rollout event that is also registered to this same movie clip will trigger when I roll into the empty space.
I could probably add a new child that fills the movie clip and set it's alpha to something low like .01 but I was wondering if there was a different way to do this. So the question again is, how can I have a mouse rollover trigger as long as it is in the movie clip's bounds even if there are empty spaces without children in them?
The empty space of a canvas does not fire events. My problem is I have a canvas in an application that shows a diagram consisting of different figures, but the canvas empty places do not trigger the events that I need, as the rollover. How I can make my canvas trigger events even in the empty spaces? I have set the background Color, mouseEnabled, color, border, alpha, opaqueBackground, etc, and nothing works. I'm using Flex 4, and I have to use only a mx:Canvas.
Here is the event listener registration:
canDiagram.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function(event:MouseEvent):void{if(actualCursor != null){CursorManager.setCursor(actualCursor,2,-10,-10);}},true);
canDiagram.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, function(event:MouseEvent):void{CursorManager.removeAllCursors();},true);

var A2Clip:A2 = new A2();
var A3Clip:A3 = new A3();
I then put the above into an array and am trying to trace out thier "name".
for(var i:int=0;i<theArray.length;i++){
trace(theArray[i].name);

What I want to accomplish is the trace is tracing out what I "initialized" them to

View 5 RepliesI have a mc with a set of images with fadein fadeout animation. there are two sets namely SetA and SetB with there respective buttons buttonA and ButtonB. Now the mc has two labels corresponding the buttons, when the label is A it should reduce the alpha for ButtonA to 35and vice versa. But the main problem is while tracing the timeline the currentframe remains 1 and does not go any further, so it plays the animation but does not reach the labelB for ButtonB. Is there any way we can trace the timeline keyframes in the mc? Here is the sample code.

I am working with a set of external XML data, and putting it into arrays. I have set up images and text on a page using XML data, which, when clicked on, will populate a popup window with XML data from the same index. For some reason, when I trace the index of the array, it comes up as -1.

Why does this not work? Is there somthing about tracing multiple pieces of information in the same trace statement in AS3?
I have a masked movieclip which contains nothing but static text inserted from the IDE (not programatically).
In the IDE it states this movieclips height to be 332.25, however when I trace the movieclips _height property it returns 327.3.
This is causing my scrollbar code to mess up as it is not scrolling down far enough. It is also not a one off thing, every block of text I make in the IDE exhibits this behaviour.
I am having a problem parsing xml data, I know how to get it into as3, and that is working pretty well after following a brilliant tutorial on kirupa:[URL] But I am having a problem tracing the data that I want. Seemingly it is connecting to the database and is working in that sense but when I try to trace data I am getting a couple problems. The first is that I need to somehow specify a value of a single item to get the rest of the data. Here is the xml:

ActionScript Code:
var goBackward:Boolean=false;// this variable will determine which way to go in bar.
function rotateBar(toPoint) {
if (toPoint != bar._currentframe) {// checks that the frame number submitted does not equal the current frame in bar (otherwise does nothing)
[code]...
Note 1: This FOR statement say that i = the frame number required, that i is greater that the frame number required, and that for each iteration of the FOR statement, i decreases by one. then the nextline says for Bar to go to the previous frame. when the frame number in Bar is equal to the number we gave it for i, the loop stops.Note 2: This FOR statement is the opposite. it says, for every time the current frame in bar is measured, proceed one frame in bar at a time, until it does equal the frame number supplied.When the buttons are pressed it rotates to the correct position, but it doesn't play the frames in between.

I want to add some mouse click listeners and then I want to trace the currentTarget's position in the array. I just have no idea what parameters to give the trace().
I basically want to trace an object within a layer (or the child within a layer), for example:
test.text = _level0.child;
And this would give me the movie clip name contained within the layer?
This probably is not possible however its worth a try! Would there be anyway to trace out the functions that are being called by the SWF? for example.[code]I know you could simply add a trace into the actual functions but thats not an option!

check out the attached file. Don't ask me why, but I need that yellow rectangle to follow that grey dot, which rotates around randomly... but see, if you place the dot to the center left of the grey rectangle, you see that the yellow rectangle screws up. I've deducted that this happens for this reason: to the left of the grey rectangle, the rotation value is 178... 179... 180... then it jumps to -180... -179... -178... (you can try this out using an onEnterFrame function and tracing the rotation of an object that follows the mouse).
Since the yellow rectangle follows the grey dot with an ease, it doesn't just do: rectangle._rotation = dot._rotation But instead: rectangle._rotation += Math.round((dot._rotation-this._rotation)/rotatespeed) Some of you guys should already be familiar with this kind of movement, but it's usually used to move objects smoothly. The bug here is that whenever that dot randomly jumps up into -180 from it's original position at below 180, it screws up the yellow rectangle.

I am trying to create a dynamically generated MC with creatEmptyMovieClip(), and all works well. But looking the list of objects/variables in the show I can't seem to detect at what _level the clip is generated. I am using getNextHighestDepth() to set the level (see code below).
Ultimately what I am hoping to happen is that each successive MC will be generate OVER (or on the _level above) the existing MC. Currently it looks like the existing MC is replaced when the new MC is generated.
My next question would be (once I get this lot working) how do I then remove the MC that is under the newly generated MC. I imagine the RAM or processor wont mind if a few _levels of MCs are stacked up and this wont be running up more than about 20 _levels max. But for the purpose of best practice.
Code:
howImg_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
howImg_mc.container_mc.attachMovie(newImg, "howImg", this.getNextHighestDepth());
