I have a counter that counts each time a special event in a game occurs.The code looks like this at the end of several movieClips' last frame:
[code]...
The problem is sometimes events get repeated, and though I don't mind if the event happens again, I don't want the repetition to count as a new number. I want it to count once and only once.
Making a random number between lets say 0 and 99 is relatively straight forward using the Math.random class What is the best way to create 100 unique random numbers from between 0 and 99 where no random number is repeated?Would I make a random number, chuck it into an array then the next random number created is checked against the array, and if the number has been created before try for another number?
View 2 RepliesI've created a drag and drop activity using a class. Six movieclips are dropped on the target. After each movie clip is dropped I want to display feedback. So I added counter++ to the drop function to trigger the appropriate feedback. The drag and drop functionality works perfectly. Probably because I got most of it from a [URL] activity. Problem: counter++ is not cumulative. So I drop target 1, counter is 1. Then if I drop target 2, counter is 1. If I drop target 2 twice, counter is 2. However, that isn't what I want. I need to either figure out how to make counter++ cumulative, or I need to figure out how to add the different counters together. So if source1...source6 = 1 do this. My counter code is on the main timeline.

I'm an interior architect at a small architecture firm and I have been tasked with updating the firms website. I have no prior experience with flash, but have been able to learn enough to update all expcept for the portfolio section. For some reason, when I add three additional frames to the portfolio gallery timeline, it repeats the previous three frames before playing the new three. This happens only when I publish the file, when I run the timeline and view it on the stage everything appears fine.

I created a timer with found tutorials and the Flash help files and everything works fine. My timer counts up from 000.000,0 to 999.000,0. Now I would like to also be able to do the same, but counting down from 999.000,0 to 000.000,0
Easy enough I thought, but now . how to make some modifications in my code to count down.
My code for counting up is the follow:
Code: Select allvar hours:Number = 0;
var seconds:Number = 0;
var minutes:Number = 0;
var pauseTime:Number = 0;

I have a base class, and I created a class to connect to C# to which it sends and receives data. Now I want the base class to know when the Connector Class has received data and to get that data. so custom events are the answer right. But no matter how much documentation I've read, I can't get my head around this. My current class, if I extend EventDispatcher the base class can pick up fine but I need it to get the data that it received as well. So I extended Event and I've put a listener on my base class but it's not picking up the event (in fact although it's compiling it seems its breaking my connection to the C# as my C# client gets an error).
Should my connector class be extending Event or EventDispatcher. Then if it extends Event, I need to create another class to dispatch the event? someone said to me I don't need events as the callback will handle it, but my callback is in my connector class not the base class.
I found an interesting questions regarding the events in action script: is the event buffered and ordered?
Ie) In a swfloader example, I setup a timer(1 sec) to run a function, in the function I setup a listener to event INIT of the loaded swf. It depends on the network condition that whether the timer handler or the INIT event will be first executed. Imagine a case that the INIT event fired first but the handler to handle the INIT event be setup later, will the handler be invoked?
Another question, if the loaded swf fired several events very fast, will the events be kept ordered as the fire sequence?
I wondered if anyone can provide any information on how flash events relate to the DOM event model.My issue is this:body > div > object.The div has a mousedown event which calls 'preventDefault' on the event object.This shouldn't bear any relation to a click event within the objects swf however in IE9 it prevents the swfs mousedown event from firing..I'm struggling to understand how swf events fit in with DOM (presumably they continue to bubble up from the object element?) and why a click event on a div would affect a childs swf click.
View 1 RepliesThis isn't an exact duplicate of AS3: add event listener to loaded swf, actually it seems to be a mirror situation with non-mirror solution..
I have a test flash file that registers its own listener at first frame's actions.
trace("it's going to be OK");
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, aKey);
Unfortunately neither line works when .swf is loaded into another movie. Assuming that stage object is wrong for such situations, which object should be used to get listener?
Is it necessary to rewrite loader in parent swf, as said in the linked question?
I'm having a problem with a custom subclassed Event class. Or I should say, I'm having trouble receiving events from this custom event class. I'm pretty sure I have everything wired correctly, the event is dispatched properly and my trace shows the Event instance being spawned. However, my eventListener, which is in another class, never fires its handler function.Have any of you run across instances where custom event classes fail to fire? I'm about at my wit's end.

I made a custom loader to replace the urlLoader and even tried a replacement for the _loader using the same custom event.Works great for the first addEventListener:
Code:
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded).But stops on the second addEventListener.If I just apply the custom event to the following...
Code:
_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaderInit);
VERSUS
Code:
_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaderInit);it works just fine.As soon as I use it on the contentLoaderInfo line, it throws that type error cannot convert CustomEvent to Event error.I also double checked that my custom event listener was overriding clone()properly and it looks like it does.

View 2 RepliesCan I create a single event listener for all mouse events ?
my understanding is no because: what's happening is that each listener is checking for a string in an event and comparing it for a match against a list which is the listener.
I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}
I came to the point where I need to communicate between 2 objects (let's say Tank and the Cannon). It is tile game, and when the Tank approach specific tile I need my Cannon to shot the Tank. When Tank gets that specific tile I want to dispatch some custom event and have listener in Cannon class body to make the shot happen. Other way I would have to check in ENTER_FRAME loop (inside Cannon body class) if the Tank touched tile that runs the Cannon shooting - but this is not elegant and efficient. The issue is complicated by the fact that the Cannon and Tank are added to the Engine (document class) and can't simply hear for each other, because they seat on the same level in display list.
Initially I could addEventListener to the Engine, but this way my document class would enlarge to the XXL size (all listeners functionality, all methods for game etc). What I would accomplish is to have event listener in every Cannon object (defined in body class) listening for Tank's dispatching the event. I saw some 'Centralized Event Manager' article in the net, but can't download full classes [url]...
I noticed that the Object.watch and Object.unwatch methods are gone in actionscript 3.
I've tried to find alternatives but the event system doesn't dispatch events when properties change, There is a data binding system but I think that's just for Flex.
Does anyone know what (if any) the alternative is?
i am trying to do a simple blackboard on mouse down, start drawing on mouse move, if drawing, draw line on mouse up, stop drawing i set the listeners on a simple clip with a rectangle. if i dont fill the rectangle, the mouse events wont fall into the rectangle, but if i fill the rectangle, it will paint behind the rectangle, so anyway i wont see any succesfull results. what i did was create another sprite and paint within it; something like

I have multiple items in my app that I would like the user to click on.Some items are completely different classes.The classes dispatch events and then when the events are captured, some modifications are done to the transform properties of a loosely coupled display object.I want two separate classes to dispatch the same type of event, since I already have an image class that draws images based on a given url... I want the classes to dispatch the events, but then I think I want the difference to be detected when the event comes along... i.e., I would like to recognize the 'origin' or 'sub-type' of the event. Some sort of if/then logic would suffice.

I just cant get rid of that error.
I've created a movie clip. This movie clip contains a strip of images put together. I use actionscript 3.0 to tween it into position every time a arrow button is pressed. The green space is a mask so it can't be seen until it enters that space. I am only focusing on the right arrow button at the moment. Heres an image of what I mean.
I've made each tween 15 frames long and when it gets to it I have a stop();
on the 15th, 30th, 45th, 60th and 75th frame as there are 5 images in the movie clip you can see above. This code is on every 15 frames
stop();
Right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(16);
}
On the next frame after every 15 frames so the 1st, 16th, 46th etc. This code is on the frame to tween it into place.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
var myTween1:Tween = new Tween(Pictures1, "y", Strong.easeInOut, 18, 173, 20, false);
This all works and everything is fluid until the end of all the frames which is frame 75, on the last I make it have this script.
stop();
Right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler1);
function mouseDownHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
This is so when the right button is clicked it goes back to the beginning and it all starts again. The problem I have is it won't work anymore, it keeps playing the same tween over and over when I click the right arrow.
In the resultHandler of an HTTPService call, I have assigned a repeating node to an arrayCollection. Inside that repeating node are other nodes that sometimes repeat and sometimes do not. For instance, here the option node repeats inside options.

I am making a demo where an object is moved around the screen with a line tracing its movement. The speed of this noticeably slows down over time. I tried it both with an enterFrame and by setting an interval. I imagine it has something to do with the graphics class vector drawing and garbage collection. Here is a simplified version for demo/testing. If you run it you will see the line drawing slow down over time. Is there a way to achieve it without the slow down?
I read somewhere of a technique where you use the bitmap data class to draw on a stage-sized bitmap.(I've never programmed the bitmap data class before).
Here is the code:
code: var lineX:Number = 100; var lineY:Number = 100;
var deltaX:Number = 10; var deltaY:Number = 10;
var lineDrawing:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
this.addChild(lineDrawing);

here is my xml example:
Code:
<data>
<page>
<type>carrot</type>
[code]....
as you can see you have these type tags (either on page level, or sub page level).what i need is to find any repeated values (regardless of level) and append counter to those which repeat.So in this example 'corn' repeats 3 times, 'tomato' 2 times.I want this values to be changes in:
corn, corn_02, corn_03
tomato, tomato_02
so append counter to ones that repeat in order.
I would like to be able to click on various items within my movie clip, with each clip producing a new duplicate that can dragged around, independent of the original item or other duplicates.
