ActionScript 2.0 :: _xscale Loader With SetInterval?
Feb 25, 2010
I've read the Photo Slideshow and the Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash tutorials from Kirupa and I've modified it a little bit to suite my website. Mostly layout changes.What I want to do is for the slideshow() function, with the setInterval, is to have a "time bar" that shows the time of that setInterval function. Just like a preloader.I have a movieclip named time_left and in that movieclip I have a border and also another movieclip called whats_left . The idea is to use _xscale and scale the whats_left moviclip.Here's the actionscript for the slideshow() function
Code:
function slideshow() {
myInterval = setInterval(pause_slideshow, delay);
function pause_slideshow() {
if(p == (total-1)) {
[code]....
If you know the tutorials I've read and wonder where my clearInterval is, it's in my prevImage, nextImage and firstImage functions as I use the previous- and next-buttons to give my users the ability to skip the timer and go straight to the next/previous image.

Is it possible to give a variable to the _xscale of a given MC.? i wonder because I ran into a problem with this example:
I have a MC, that i want to be able to modify the xscale by an input box and button. basically the user inputs a value, presses the button, and the _xscale of the MC chages to what they put in the input box. so my MC is named graph. the input box has a var of xsize. the button works fine if I use on release graph._xscale = xsize
but when I try to give graph._xscale a variable like MCsize
on release
MCsize = xsize
that doesn't work.
is it my syntax or just that I can't give a property of a MC a variable name?

I have some MC's and they have buttons and other MC's within them. (dynamically loaded). I don't want them to be seen or the buttons enabled until my startbutton is pressed. I tried
mc.enabled = false
mc._alpha = 0
and it didn't work. (If anyone knows why, I'd be curious to know the answer)
So I did mc._xscale = 0
and that seems to do the trick. They aren't visible and there's no fear of anyone pressing any invisible buttons.

I've run into a little bit of a wall with TweenLite (AS2). It isn't really an issue with TweenLite so much as my lack of understanding, and I'm hoping someone will be gracious enough to educate me.I'm using TweenLite to tween the _xscale and _yscale of a movieclip The issue is that the end _xscale and _yscale values will differ depending on the original size of the movieclip. I need to reduce the _xscale and _yscale until the movieclip's width is less than 620. I've created a pretty clumsy way of doing this:
Code:
center._alpha = 0;
center.onEnterFrame = function(){

I'm moving my movieclip around and in order to make things work nicely I need to know the _xscale and _yscale values before and after the clip has been triggered, there are lots of variations but when I trace(myMC._xscale) & trace(myMC._yscale) the only values returned are 100

I'm making a shooting game, would like the gun to flip _xscale when you move the gun past half the width of the stage. Here's the script I made which doesn't work and is probably not written correctly:
if(_xmouse >= Stage.width/2){
_root.gun_mc._xscale * -1;
}

I've got a scrolling image gallery which I have a zoom button that lets the user zoom in on the images... If they click on the stage, the scrolling stops. Now, if they try to zoom in, the image scales from the left side, since the images registration points are on the left side of the movie clip they're loaded into. This causes the images to shift right, but I want it to appear as if its a straight on zoom...

I am making a photo gallery with thumbnails and when the mouse rolls over them, they increase in size. Problem: when they increase, they do not cover the other thumbnails completely, since it is only an _xscale percentage increase and not a new movie clip. So you can see all the other thumbnails over the increased photo size. It is a problem of swapping depths I'm sure--but do I have to take off all the thumbnails from the main level and load them dynamically onto different levels in order to be able to swap depths?

I have two swf files, each one almost with the same classes, the most important one is a Singleton class, each swf does "singleton.getInstance()". The diference is that one swf is like a container and the other one is like a module. So when the container loads the module from an absolute path like loader.load("file://c:/modules/module.swf") or loader.load("[URL]"), two different singletons (same class) are created
But when the container loads from a relative path like loader.load("module.swf") , just one singleton is created (that is what I want) I am just intrigued with this behavior, could someone explain me this? PD: I believe is something related to loaderContext and applicationDomain but It also appears that isn't working right. -Patricio Foieri , Vertigo Labs

The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.

I'm feeling a bit low now as I have been suffering this for months. A simple loader loads my simple game and runs VERY FAST on even slow pcs BUT when I build this other loader, it goes quite slowly and I don't know where the app is going wrong. WHERE is the processing consumptoin coming from out of my app.

I have the following code which simply loads an external swf, puts it in the right place and should all be hunky dory.This works:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader);
var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("foobar.swf");[code].....
to set the dimensions of the loader so the external swf doesn't 'spill over', the result is a blank screen. No matter how high I set those dimensions it just doesn't display anything.

I got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

the file loads correctly but the loading screen only flashes up at the end.The only thing being exported in frame 1 is the loader image, and that is extremely small.Is it possible that there's a queue of things being loaded and the loader image is at the bottom of that queue? Since that was one of the last things added to the project

i have a main loader swf file called loader.swf and it loads an RSL.swf (runtime shared library for my swf files) and then 10 swf files, each one to a container (fE.: movieclip '01' in loader.swf, then movieclip '02' and so on). the 10 swf files have a lot of references to RSL.swf, and i have to use RSL.the problem is when loader.swf loads the RSL and the other 10 swfs the loader throws errors like this:
Code:
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***[code]...
then i put in EVERY swf files (loader,RSL and the other 10) the code Security.allowDomain ("*") but throws the same errors...

I'm loading some images with Loaders, cloning the BitmapData to a new Bitmap, and adding the Bitmap as a child of a Sprite. So far, so good. I want the Loaders I'm using to be removed by garbage collection, which they seem to be. The problem, or so it seems, is that when the Loaders are cleaned up, the Bitmaps I'm creating lose their data.
Edit: All this is happening when a class is instanced, and many copies of this class are being used as actors in a game. As the Actors are being created the older ones are losing their BitmapData to garbage cleanup. When all of them are finally loaded, only the last few are visible. I've rewritten my posted code as a class. If I prevent the Loaders from being cleaned up by somehow keeping a reference to them, the Bitmaps don't lose the data, but I don't want these Loaders hanging around.

Sorry for the complicated topic. I got a .swf that loads in other .swfs. Rather than figuring out how to make a loader for loading .swfs I thought I'd just use a simple loader in the .swf I'm loading.
However, it doesn't work. It starts fully loaded but doesn't finish. Heres the AS:[AS]_root.stop();
PercentLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal()*100;

how to create an image gallery that loads external bitmaps. It also has some nice fade in/fade out effects using Tweener. I was wondering, what would I need to modify from my code to load MovieClips from the library instead of the external JPEGs.

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);
This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:
Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
[code]....
What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

how to use setInterval. I think this is what I need to use to do what I want to do, as shown in the ActionScript (2.0) I've pasted here:
bhold.buttonBlue.onPress = function() {
if (ohpNameRed._y == 0) {
MoveNameDn(ohpNameRed, 60, .3);
//i want a second or so delay before the following code is executed MoveNameUp(ohpNameBlue, 0, .4);

Wondering if there's anyway this can be done? Or is there anyway you can return the time elapsed since the last function call?
Reason being that I'm using it in a project that really requires the option to pause the game. So I'd need to "pause" an interval when the game is paused and then resume it from where it was stopped when the game is resumed.

I'm in a project where I have to use setInterval to go to a certain frame after a period of time when hovering to some thing in my stage.
The code used is :
setInterval( function() { goToAndPlay(34); }, 100000;
stop();
The problem is that the counter is always engaged will not always go to the frame after exactly 10seconds, it will be random because it never stops counting.
Is there any way to clear the counter after each time I hover to the thing??

I am working in an image scroller. Now i need to add a new feature. ie, To pause the scrolling for a specified time after each image scrolled out from the stage. But I have implemented this using a setInterval and clearInterval. But there is an issue occuring in this case. When the image pauses, a gap is occuring between the last image and first image of the scroller. Also when the scrolling continues this gap is also increasing. When the first image scrolled out, it will be again appending with the images scroller. That means it's appending after the last image of the scroller. Thus first and last images comes next to each other. When the scroller pauses, the gap is occuring between the first and last images. Anybody have idea about this.
