I have a movie clip called mover that I can ease up and down with buttons, and some action script to alpha a box if the top of the mover clip goes above the top of a stopper clip. Its an if statement and sadly only runs once. I made a controller movieclip which I thought would trigger the if statement each time the onEnterFrame was crossed... but sadly it doesnt work. I have attached a fla below.
View 3 RepliesIn the main timeline I have this onEnterFrame function. I also have this movieclip and in it's own timeline stops at frame one. When this movieclip is rolled over it plays and then stops at frame 9. I'm trying to make an if statement in the onEnterFrame function that says when that one movieclip is on frame 9, delete the onEnterFrame function.
I tried to do this code, but so far all I have is
if (movieclip._currentlabel = "framenine") {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
I've got a minor issue with a non-functioning delete instruction in a onEnterFrame statement. Here's the code
this.onEnterFrame = function() {if ((_root.gira1 == 1) && (_root.gira2 == 1) && (_root.gira3 == 1) && (_root.gira4 == 1)) {gotoAndPlay("action");delete this ["onEnterFrame"];_root.tunnelaperto = 1;
}}
what you suggest? Till now "delete this ["onEnterFrame"]" always went allright...
I'm trying to add arrow key control to my image gallery to increment and decrement the image number, but if I go to another section and go back to the gallery, the incrementing is doubled, so that I step through the images by two's. If I repeat this, it always adds 1. Here's the code I have for the Arrow keys:

I want to trigger an event when 4 buttons are being set to visible(originally set to ._visible=false at the beginning of the movie) say, the instance names of the buttons are "a","b","c",and "d", and their visibility is triggered by other events.When all of them are triggered/being set to visible, I want a movieclip to play (say, the name of the movieclip is "animation") I tried using the if statement and came up with the following code:
[Code]...
I have a bunch of event listeners that refer to different movieclips but trigger the same function.I have an if statement within this function that I need to trigger if the function is triggered by a specific movieclip.
ActionScript Code:
//movieclip stuff....
addChild(backgroundPoint);
backgroundPoint.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animateBall);
[code]....
I know I could just create two separate functions but the code within the function (not shown here) is fairly long and I dont like repeating code.
onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

I came across this tutorial. [URL]. I wish to expand it into a xml loaded gallery. I thought simply replacing a simple name would work (changing the pic_mc in the as to the name of the MC I use to load my xml images. however, it doesn't work. Infact in cocks up my whole script, and it wont run the xml images any more. I am not on the level to write a code myself as shown in the tutorial i linked, and so I only partially understand it (this I assume to be the position many of us are in) so its hard for me to really adjust it.
Heres the basic document I am trying to cross it with [URL].
I'm trying to load some WDDX data into a shared object, but I'm having some troubles getting it back out. can open the sol file in a text editor and see that my data is in there, but I can't manage to access it. does putting information into a sharedObject change things? Can you load an array into a sharedObject and have it retain it's array-ed-ness?

any consise methods to restart a deleted onEnterFrame that has been deleted?
View 3 RepliesI have an application done in flash- on the main Scene Level, everything has only one frame but I have MCs and the like that are triggered by actionscript.There are quite a few nested functions on the main actions layer as well as an "onEnterFrame" function that reloads XML data in the background, etc... but that is not the problem.
The problem is, that at one point, I am calling a few MCs that kind of close up a section of the page like blinds- and then I want a text to appear ontop of that now closed area... but if I just write...
Code:
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TextAboveTimeline.theMessage_txt._visible = true;
...it all happens simultaneously, of course.I guess I could check for "BlendeT1"'s (or T2's) current frame (since it's an MC)... but how do I wait while that MC runs / until it reached a certain frame? How can I keep the rest of the actionscript in the main function from continuing?
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.
if (variable == 1){
//code
//Execute this code.
} else if (variable == 2) {
//code
[Code]...
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.
why this code won't work

I'm sure you can put if statements inside other if statements, seriously I can't figure it out
I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.
View 13 Replieswhat 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?
I have a script which is giving me a lot of trouble since I have no idea how to write another "if statement" inside another if-else statement. I keep getting errors, I guess I don't know where to put the braces exactly...
example:
if(bla == bla) {
<------------how would I write another if statement here?
}else if (bla == bla){
}
I use this:
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if((kropp==2)&&(huvud==4)&&(bg.BGtyp==1)){
bg.nextFrame();
trace("good");
}
to know when different variabels are right. But I don�t want the check to be once every 2 second and not every frame. I could put the code in a looping mc but could I do that in a code?

View 2 RepliesI have a script with some onEnterFrame's.. my problem is that I can't evoke more than one of the functions in "onframe()".. after the first function "onframe1()" has ended nothing more happens.. if I switch the two functions ("onframe1()" and "onframe2()" arround or I escape the first the script still ends after the first function is done
function onframe(){ var i = 0; onEnterFrame = function() if(i == 10) onframe1(); if(i == 200) onframe2();//delete this.onEnterFrame; i++; }}

View 1 RepliesSay I have 100 MC's (movie clips) in my scene that are spreading out in _x and _y. On every frame I need to check each of those MC's for a hitTest (or anything really). Would it be more programatically efficient to:A) Create a single array to hold all the MC's and do a for...loop to check all of themorB) When each MC is created create an onEnterFrame to check only itself (x100)?Hope this makes sense. This is an argument between me and my partner as to which will be the less processor intensive. My theory is that there would be no difference but I've read no documentation for it

I have a set of movie clips that are attached to the stage every so often. The attached movie clips all move independently with their own class code. After I changed something in an unrelated class, my attached movie clips only run their onEnterFrame() code once, instead of once per frame. I called up the list of variables, and my movies (which are passed into an array) are all "undefined". I'm not really sure whats causing these movie clips to not run their code properly. This is the code for attaching them:
ActionScript Code:
var target = _root.attachMovie("Target", "Target" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.framework.depth[7]);
target._y = _root.framework.paths[attachlocation][0]._y
[Code]......
Ok, This actually works butI want it out of EnterFrame. what is going on is this... The user moves a movieClip called selector.selectorCollisionBox over the movieClip called fG.buidling1 Then the string buildingName is no longer NULL or "", it becomes whatever I set it to. Also a Button is added to the top of the selector so the user can click that and 'enter the building' to view info about it.(or that last part is the plan down the road)
[Code]...
problem is, it seems like it is checking this constantly because I have it on EnterFrame. Is there a way to make an event that just specifically looks for if (selector.selectorCollisionBox.hitTestObject(fG.bu ilding1)) ?? Or better yet, maybe I can have a boolean, overBuilding1 = true that fires all those properties off once instead of every EnterFrame? That way onEnterFrame just fires off a condition? I am so close to understanding this.. I feel like I am at my last brain hurdle.
can you delete a onEnterFrame that is placed on the MC its self, for example:
Code:
onClipEvent(load){i=0}
onClipEvent(onenterFrame){
i++
if(i>50){
delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
the concept is simple and works when placed on the timeline but does not work when placed directly on the MC.
