ActionScript 2.0 :: Using Loop To Setup 4 Rows Of 10 Blocks In Flash
Dec 22, 2003
Im trying to use a loop to set up 4 rows of 10 "blocks" in flash. I have a movieclip with an idName of "Block". My idea was to imbed the singular row of blocks loop within the loop of rows so that it generates the four rows quickly and all at once. I was trying to use the following code but it doesn't work. It seems to show only the last block in the loop and I did some echo checking at the end and found that after the loop completes, there are no activated blocks. I found this by doing another loop and tracing all the blocks _x properties which all returned undefined.....even the last one which was still visible...:
Code:
/* Constants Section */
var NumBlocks = 10;
var NumRows = 4;
var StageWidth = Stage.width;
var StageHeight = Stage.height;
var BlockWidth = StageWidth/NumBlocks;
[Code] .....

I have a DataGrid which contains a DataGridColumn with a textinput and DataGridColumn with a Button.The DataGrid is bound to some XML which displays values in the text box.When the button for a row is clicked I need to get the value out of the text box and save it into the relevant XML node.My solution was just to pass the id of the row to the button click event then loop over the rows until I find the id then just grab the text box value. Simple. However the only advice I can find on looping over the rows is via the underlying dataProvider, which is nonsense as the two aren't the same thing.

so I have buttons that launch a new html page via: getURL("xxxx.html", "_blank");but users have to approve Internet Explorer (and the like) to approve popups.. when they do it restarts the flash movie - namely restarting the whole site. Are there any workarounds? do i have any options?

We have a Flash swf object embedded in an html page. When the user sees the page it's just a small button, but on the rollover state the area of the object expands and covers more of the page. This is how it was designed. The problem seems to be that the maximum size of the swf object, even though it's transparent and "invisible" unless the user rolls over the button, blocks out all the underlying html so you can't access any of the links. It's as if the object is covering that part of the page even when it's not expanded. I've tried every publish setting I can imagine to compensate and make the item truly transparent so the "hidden" underlying links will still be clickable, but just can't get it.

Many people install an add on to their browser - such as Flashblocker, or FlashOff - in order to stop annoying advertisements from auto-running. Is it possible to detect that this has been done, and then (obviously) use JScript to put up an alternative if this is the case?
If you cannot do this, then there is really no point to using Flash's higher functions, because the majority of users will see them only if they click a gray panel with a hopeful button in the middle of it. Flash becomes merely a decorative bolt on for web applications.

Is anyone else seeing this is there any real information about how / when and what kinds of rendering rules there? I don't even know if the preview is live or cached. Googling for google preview is not all that helpful, I don't see any guides or help files coming up.

One of my main interests is playing games so I thought why not make a game? I see lots on the Internet games based in Flash so I thought that would be my best starting point to make actual graphic based games... (not to mention I actually got taught at university how to use flash to a certain extent). The game I decided upon was tetris. I'm sure you're all familiar with the block based puzzle game and might be able to shed some light upon what I am doing right and what I am doing wrong. So, I've firstly made my game screen with a window for all the blocks to come down in.
I've also put some dynamic text place holders ready for when I come to keeping track of how many 'lines' the player has scored, the time and so on in the right hand side of the screen. I have made graphics for the different colour 'building blocks' (just one block of 24x24 in different colours for each shape) and then used the 'building blocks' multiple times to create my shapes (I, J, L, O, S, T, Z). These blocks are called tetrominoes. Now I've come to a point where I need to import these tetrominoes randomly from the library and get them to appear in the middle just off the top of my block screen.
How do I import random objects from a particular folder in my library to the stage in Flash CS5 AS3? After realising a quick solution to my problem was not to be found quickly I then thought about what will happen to this block once it has been imported... Well, in Tetris the block moves slowly down until it hits another block or the bottom of the block screen. I know that I can do something with a detectHit() function. How do I get my block to move down the screen by a set amount of pixels every second or so?

I'm loading a swf-file from my program written in as3 using the flash.display.Loader class. When I'm using the debug build configuration in FlashDevelop everything works fine. But when I'm using the release build configuration the program freezes for around two seconds efter the loader sends the progress events and before sending the complete event.
This is my program:
package
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code]....
After around two seconds where the program is frozen the line Completed on frame: 2 is added and the 'On frame X' counter starts ticking up. Debug build produces the same output but without the freeze.
Not all swf-files I have tried loading triggers the problem. The size of the file doesn't seem to affect anything. I have tried compiling and running on another computer with the same result.
Edit: I noticed that if the program is compiled with debug=true the flash player takes around two seconds to start, the same length of time the flash player is frozen when debug=false.

We know set wmode to transparent in flash player can reveal pulldown menu behind the flash player but this seems not always true.

i need to track the mouse movements(and register what component is under the mouse), it is done already, but i meet new problem, if click right button then context menu will be opened and no any new events(mouseMove, mouseOver) received by my components. I understand that this context menu is more browser then flash/flex and afaiu the is no way to disable context menu at all. So may be somebody know any trick to avoid this events blocking?

How can I animate and form rows together?One 'for loop' is for animation, the other 'for loop' is for making rows. I want to understand how to use arrays and create a row of sprite animations. I understand how to loop through an Array and create a Sprite for each index of the Array, but I'm having trouble putting my animation in rows.I got my number animation to play in a single row. When I add the loop to multiply it across the stage, it just blinks while continuing to animate.'for loop' for animation.[code]

I've recently just started delving into both actionscript and flex...the main reason being I like to create a sortable datagrid or datagroup like thishere you click the main entry that already has some detail and the row expands to show more.It might be possible to do with an itemrenderer but for the life of me I cant seem to find any tutorial or source or demo that doesn't assume you already know what to do with the itemrenderer since you cant just drop them in and have them work it seems.

I have a Mysql database and I am trying to import multiple records with multiple columns into Flash AS3 using PHP. My problem is I am able to make it work with a single column and multiple records but for multiple columns I am not being able to format it correctly. What i wish to have is an array(of records) of associative arrays(of columns) i.e. I want to be able to partition the output (from php) based on '|' and store it in a flash array and then be able to access name,id for each of them (see below the code).[code]the problem is I get an array of names,id but the myArray ForFlash is empty (which is kind of expected).

I have a thumbnail gallery that gets its images from an xml file, at the moment if there are more than 8 thumbs they go off the page to the right, I'd like to have it so they continue to load in rows and columns but I'm not sure how I'd do this? I limited the images in the xml to 8 and duplicated the mc and xml to get the look, but it needs to really be updatable from the one xml file. Heres the Actionscript-
Code:
myPhoto = new XML();
myPhoto.ignoreWhite = true;
myPhoto.onLoad = function(success) {
//portfolioTag = this.firstChild;
[Code].....

On a game we just completed in Flash Builder 4, there are a couple of links like this:
var sponsorLink:String = http://www.plantersplace.com/;
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(sponsorLink), _blank);
IE 7 in some installations is treating this as a popup. Firefox 3.6, Chrome 5, Safari 4 all fine.
The game in question is at [URL]
Click "continue without logging in, then click "show hint". Click the hint. This should fire the above code and open a new window.
Several users in IE report this gives them a pop up alert. I am trying to find out why and what can be done about it. I have tried the solution I found at Zorked but people STILL say they are getting popup alerts.

Apparently, there is a way to have one library, update a symbol in that library, and have the one update be reflected in 10 different documents that share that library. However, I cannot find any (coherent) documentation on how to do that.

I need to build a series of blocks, (red, orange, yellow, green, purple). When the user clicks a block, that block changes color). (and each block color on is stored as a boolean, isClicked = TRUE/FALSE).
What is the best way to accomplish this in a "block" class? Below is my code.
Here is Main.as

I'm having a little trouble setting up a new project (an e-Learning) that I think will benefit a lot from RSL.
My case is something like this:
Main.fla - A Shell
Scenes.fla - I'll explain this in a minute
Navigation.fla - Some kind of GUI
Lots Of Fla Files - The Lessons
The Main will be the first movie to be instantiated, then, all that is necessary from here will be download.Every lesson will be put in a fla/swf apart from the "Architecture" (that is the Main, Scenes, Navigation and a whole bundle of classes called Engine) and will be added at runtime inside the Scenes.The Engine is responsible for handling repetitive and necessary tasks, events, common methods, communication with server, among other things.
The Navigation is responsible for handling user input, as the navigation (next/prev lesson and such), and then passes it to the Engine, that will manipulate the Scenes (and it's children).Well, I have some restrictions too:Every swf file that will be handed to our client need to have less than 80kb, which means I'm tied.I can't compile the whole thing as a package ready to delivery.As size counts, I need means to alleviate the load as much as possible.
how to use this and, of course, got into a trap.I haven't been able to set up my Flash correct, haven't any success with the "Library Path" (under AS3 configuration), haven't been able to compile classes inside the SWC...Another thing is that I won't make the lessons, only the Architecture.Those lessons will be created by people that may not have any knowledge in AS3 (OOP or program logic) at all.And I'm not inclined to delivery the whole engine (source code) to anyone from outside that may mess with it, making the whole app (apps, in fact, we'll produce hundreds of e-learnings).How to use RSL efficiently How to bundle classes inside the SWC How to package all that is imperative for the whole thing work in the SWC, and then, delivery only this SWC

So Google Play has come out with their new Expansion Pack setup, allowing apps to shoot past the 50meg limit. I've set up a 42 meg APK file, and tested it manually by placing my main expansion file in shared storage as outlined in this massive document: [URL]. Everything tests fine, but the problem I'm having is that Google Play won't download the expansion file automatically when you download the application.
Meaning I have to run a check inside my application, and download it in there. Now that's all well and good, but I'm working in AS3 + Air, and my native extension code that deals with the license checking needs to be altered to allow the extra expansion pack URL field to come through, but I'm at my wit's end. Long story short, has anyone had any luck with downloading expansion files in an AS3 application compiled in AIR?

I have a page display people's name and when you click on a name information such as age, height, and weight are displayed. In Flash, can you create the same thing? I know with displaying data from a database you have to have dynamic text boxes set up to load the info but can you have it set up so you can load a name from a database and THEN click that name to have it load the other info?
