View 1 Repliesi'm using Mx Flash and i am making a game. it is called "falldown". the 'ledges' that you run into as you are falling down need to go up. i have the mc that moves up and all, but there needs to be three of them that move up to keep you from hitting the bottom. i need it to randomly pick from the three mcs as the first one reaches a certain point. in case you don't understand ask questions and i am going to post the .fla when i get on my own comp.
View 2 RepliesOk what i want to do is to randomly pick 3 values from an array called Objs and add them to a new array called ListObjs. The three values should be unique. This is the code I have so far, but when i try to execute it Flash stops responding.

View 2 Repliescan I resize a display object (container) without its contents (children) are resized?
For example, in the following code when I resize the green square, red is also resized. I wanted to resize only the green.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);

I have an Flash CS4 application which pulls in data (questions) via XML and randomizes them. Right now if there is 50 questions in the XML file, 50 questions are displayed and randomized in the application. I am trying to figure out how to limit the randomizing pool so that only 35 questions display(even when the XML file has 50 questions) or something like that. My current code which brings in the file and randomizes is below. The code is written in AS3, by someone else.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm doing a photo slideshow and I have 4 photos. I have them displaying randomly with TweenLite, however I have 2 more things I'd like to do with it but I really don't know how to do them. I'd like for the photos to display randomly forever, as if the script would never end. Also, I'm curious as to why only 3 of the 4 photos are displayed when I run the swf.
Here is my script thus far:
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
import gs.easing.*;
var photoNums:Array = new Array(photo_1,photo_2,photo_3,photo_4);

I am trying to make a banner like item for a website I am working on, I have 1 external text file 4 external swf's and 1 external .jpg that I am trying to get to do this: On page load display img1.jpg for 60 seconds and then randomly select a number and then display the file that is associated with that number, for 60 seconds, and do it again, and again until all of the text and swf files have been displayed and then start over from the beginning,
Now I can get it to select a random number and then pull up a file that is associated with that number with this code. I have shortened the time to see it work but still no avail
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
if(Movienum == 0) loadVariableNum ("loaded_Text.txt", 0)
if(Movienum == 1) loadVariableNum ("1.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 2) loadVariableNum ("2.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 3) loadVariableNum ("3.swf", 0)
if(Movienum == 4) loadVariableNum ("4.swf", 0)
Code:
Movienum = Math.floor(math.random()*5);
function countDown() {
if (Movienum == 0) {
loadVariablesNum("loaded_text.txt", 0);

Is there a simple way to completely empty a display object container regardless of what it contains, including if it's already empty? In other words, without determining its children and using removeChild on each?

View 1 RepliesFor some reason below is not working. It is probably very obvious but I am not seeing it. As soon as I comment out the container mc variable and just add Child to root timeline I see everything which means me container is not being added to the stage correctly.

View 2 Replieslets say i have 2 classes in the same package.and i add the same event listener to each of them, for example i add event.resize to some display object container in both of them.how can i prevent the code attached to that listener to execute in one of the classes if that event happens?

View 2 RepliesThis has to be simple, if only I knew how. I'm an AS3 newbie, and am having difficulty setting up multiple specific EventListeners within a code generated display object container.
I am generating a 'page' (Sprite) with a heap of 'cards' (Sprites) on it. Each of those cards, in turn, contains a selection of text boxes and other objects generated from database output using a 'for' loop. My hope is to attach an EventListener to each 'card' so that a MouseEvent will let me manipulate the data that lead to the content of that actual card (the i-th iteration of my for loop). I've been playing with everything I can think of (limited repertoire of thoughts though) and the best I've managed is for my EventListener to access the final set of data, whichever 'card' I click on. I've summarised and attached my code for the function, how to get back to the i-set of data from the EventListener attached to the i-th card. I can handle the PHP and MySQL side of things but am fumbling my way into the OOP of AS3.
was just trying to make my site more efficient when its online. I have an image/video gallery. When the thumbnail is clicked, an image or video will be displayed in the container I have. Currently, the code is like

Inside my XML file, I want to have multiple child nodes nested in a parent node. But when I try to trace out the multiple child nodes, I only get the first child node in the trace, despite using "@" wildcard. Is it because the childnodes are named the same?

I currently have some XML which looks like this:[code] I don't have any <discount> in my second listing. The content of <discount> is being displayed upon some graphic which I'm tweening around. However if there's no discount, I want to set this movieclip to ._visible = false - since its pointless to have it tweening around when there's no text on it.How on earth would I check if <discount> exists or doesn't? In most cases it will be there, but in a few it won't.[code]
