i were trying to add onRollOver to a movieclip that i loaded with loadMovie(). But i were unable to give the MC functions. How would i add functions to a external MC? I did like this (Wrote from top of my head, sry for syntax error)
ActionScript Code:
container.loadMovie("dummy.swf");
container.onRollOver = function (){
[Code]....
The onRollOver function do not work,but the movie gets loaded, how to work around it?
I'm making a multiple choice game and I have a dynamic text bok which says "correct" or "incorrect" accordingly. also want to make it automatically "gotoAndPlay" the next scene but I can't figure out how to tell it to both change the text in te text box and move to the next scene after they have answered the question. The "gotoAndPlay" always seems to overwride anything elseso I have the following so far:
ans3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkquestion1c);
function checkquestion1c(event:MouseEvent):void{ ans1.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,checkquestion1a);

I want to add a function as a property something similar to this is what i'm looking for (only that this generates an error).
ActionScript Code:
function getPosition():Point {
return new Point(this.x, this.y);

And i know i can create a class in an external file. But this is supposing i want to keep it in the same file. And i know that is not a good idea either, but just assume that i have a valid reason.
I am having trouble accomplishing the following:
Code:
var some_xml:XML = new XML();
some_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

This works fine if I use a number, but as soon as I try to use "n" within the function it throws an error. Would eval do this for me? I haven't used eval before.
i am learning to work with sharedobjects in flash mx, and i am trying now do to a little application, and in this application i will use a listbox to do some things, i have a message board that will keep the messages in the sharedobject named "visitas", i add data with a function, ,here it is:
function salvaMensagens(){
var num = Number(_root.entradas.text);
visitas.data.mensagens[num] = _root.mensagem.text;[code]....
it had to add the name digited in the input text field name, and the same with the email, respectivelly , label and data, but my listbox is still empty after several tryes..
I have what I think is a scoping issue with a listener. I have a movie clip which contains several picture management functions. I want to add a listener to it so that the next image loads before it is processed. Where do I put the listener - In the MC or in the root? At the moment, I have it in the MC but it does not run the function. I created a test function in the root which runs the listener no problem.
View 2 RepliesSay I have 3 fla files, each with it's own document class. I want to define some unique variables in each of those 3 files.Now once the variables (unique to each fla) are set, I want to call the same function - setting up the files. I want this function in a separate as file so i only have to make changes in one spot.How do I link the 1 .as file to each of the 3 doc class files and have it's function called in the constructor of each on
View 2 RepliesI`d like to say that i`m total newbie regarding to as3. Ok, lets look at my problem.. I have 2 scenes (first is main menu with New Game button; second scene is intro for game). I`m having difficulties to make two functions within one button. Why do I need that? First function is to go to next scene (in my case, IntroScene). Second is for turning off sounds, so I can`t hear them in next scene. Here is the code:

I have an mc with a button nested inside and on this button I have AS for the rollOver and rollOut to play certain frames of the mc. The problem is when I use this mc (called 'mybutton_mc') in a menu system and I want to add AS to it to navigate to different areas, ie adding onPress to this mc, it kill's the AS on the rollOver and rollOut functions of the button within.
View 1 RepliesfileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, uploadCompleteHandler);
private function uploadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {}
Above is one way to add an event listener in Actionscript. By default the callback function needs to have an argument with name event and type Event. Is there a way to declare this function without any arguments :
private function uploadCompleteHandler():void {}
Edit : It's possible to add an event handler without any arguments in mxml. So one student wanted to know, why isn't it possible to do the same in actionscript?
This is my first real programming endeavor and this is the last thing holding my little project back from being a success.
My goal with this code is to add event listeners to an array of Movie Clips that will drag and drop them on the stage.
Here is the code:
var itemBank:Array = new Array(d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_1, d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_2);
for(var i:int = 0; i < itemBank.length; i++) {

Why does this not work???
Code:
function myFunction(val0,val1,val2){
trace(this["val"+0);
trace(this["val"+1);
trace(this["val"+2);
}
myFunction("hello","test","hi")
All i get is undefined. If i just put "trace(val0)" i will get "Hello" -- so i cannot work out how to get the value of the dynamic variable inside hte function?
why this isn't working. im dynamically loading a list of mp3's and when i click on them i want to play the mp3 that i clicked on (this is the thisRow.onRelease function), but it says that the "this.filename" property is undefined, but it is defined when i trace it.
Code:
function populateSongs() {
for(var i:Number = 0; i < songArr.length; i++) {
//trace(i);[code].........
I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands[code]...

View 2 RepliesI've been trolling through the forum and I've seen similar instances however I can't seem to get my head around how to make scripting work;What I'm trying to make is similar to an interface where users can input data into a list (myArray) should they need to remove information they can click the corresponding button to remove it, the current code is repositioning a button that's already on the field as opposed to creating a duplicate from the library

View 2 RepliesI using Flash CS5 for the first time, and I'm hitting a snag. I have an input box on Scene 1 for age (variable called old). On scene 3, I have a dynamic test box (variable called display), where I want to display the age (old) + 10.
My Code looks like this:
PHP Code:
var Real_age = Number(old) + 10;
display = Real_age;
It's returning NaN.
A trace of the output of Real_age gives:
PHP Code:
<TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"><P ALIGN="LEFT">
<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="12" COLOR="#009900" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0">2</FONT></P></TEXTFORMAT>
<p align="left"></p>

NaN

The code works OK in Flash 8, but I figure I must have some some setting that is spitting out the unwanted HTML.
In my as3 project I have to add buttons dynamically. In the for loop .. for every iteration I want to add a button in the movie clip with a mouse click event.I have tried to do this But the button is not displayed in the movie clip.Here is the code inside for loop for dynamic button.
Code:
// Create the button
var uploadButton:SimpleButton = new SimpleButton();
uploadButton.name = "btnUpload"+objectSequence;
[code]....
what I want to do is dynamically when the movie is running add a MC to the library only, I don't want it on stage, I just want to create it, add the content to it and that's it, I just want it sitting in the library. I saw this code on another post, but I don't know if this is it or if this relates to a component of some sort:
ActionScript Code:
itemexists = fl.getDocumentDOM().library.itemExists("Service1");
if (itemexists == false) {
[code]....
I've tried searching everywhere I can think of, and in CS3 the help has no documentation to the getDocumentDOM function or adding to the library on the fly. how do I add to this said MC in the library, the same as I would any other MC or is it different?
i just ran through the '3d carousel' tutorial i would like to do/add.
here are a few things i would like to add to this code below:
- Different colour panel containers, so somehow i would need to edit the attachMovie with a tint on the mc or maybe load in a another mc?
- Each mc to be clickable.
- A unique link for each items
- The rotating animation to only occur when the mouse is in actual flash movie, so once out of the active area the rotation from the mouse x position to stop.
Also i was aware that GotoAndPlay tutorials have a xml version of the tutorial that can import links/images/ descriptions but for this particular task i cannot have any external files, so it's all got to be within this one file.
I am trying to construct a MENU with 5 buttons and a dinamyc instance for them (to manipulate later ) so i am having some problems..
// vars
var allButtons:int = 5;
var espacing:Number = 10;
var navBar:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
[code].....
when I add button1.addChild(prodName); prodName being my textField, I can't see the text when I add stage.addChild(prodName); I see the text in the upper left corner of the stage. Do I need to do anything specific to get my textField to show up in the movieClip "button1"?
View 14 Replieslet's say you had a dynamic text field with a number (for example '30'). Everytime you click on a certain button / movie clip, that triggers an animation (so far no problem) AND adds '20' to the number in that textfield.
==> first click, the number displays 50 (30+20), second click 70 (50+20) ...
When you enter a certain keyframe and that number is higher than let's say 290, the movie jumps to frame x. If that number equals 290 or is lower than 290, the movie jumps to frame y.
I have an XML file, I read the data and want to add it to a List and then use the List to be displayed.
Something like this is what I want to do:

data.add(item1);

How can I do this, also how will I display the List in a table!!
I am adding DisplayObjects to a Canvas using
ContentContainer.addChild(c);
Where ContentContainer is my Canvas object and c is the DisplayObject I have created at run-time. Some of these DisplayObjects also have children of there own which are added at run-time prior to the DisplayObject being added to the Canvas.
I then need to iterate over all the children of ContentContainer but the first time I do this, it says that ContentContainer has no children (i.e., ContentContainer.numChildren = 0). If I do it again tho then it is fine and returns the correct number of children. Is there something I need to call to get ContentContainer to recalculate how many children it has?
I am having an issue with adding dynamic content through an interval. The content is being added to the screen, but the X position, as well as the tween, seem to be completely out of sync. The below is a screenshot when the interval is at 100 milliseconds, as it shows it best. The application needs to work at 200 milliseconds (where the error is not as clear, but the lines are still occationally too close, roughly every 4th). As can be seen, there is a clear discrepancy between positioning. It remains fine for a few, then changes, changes again and then finally reverts back to what it was.
Here is my code that controls this section:
function XYZ(){
Score = 90
var timeBefore = Score
if(timeBefore <= 2.4){
timeBefore = 2.5

Note: It also happens with 200 and 300 milliseconds, although less prominent.
My name is Bryan i am 17 years old and i'm from the Netherlands. As i am trying to become a web design and developer i decided flash was a MUST to know, so i started trying flash and messing about. Now i'm trying to get into Action script 3.0 deeper. Currently i am trying to fix an externaly (XML) loaded image gallery for my self, except i'm a little stuck right now.Up to now all my code has worked. I've got 3 UILoaders set up for 2 jobs: Loading thumbnails (2 of them) and the other is for loading a 'full' version. I got that working. Except if i get huge images like a wallpaper etc. it screws up the size, so i set scaleContent to true.
- Set all the images dynamicly, with that i mean it loops trough all the thumbnails and gets the first 2, it dumps them into the UILoader wich is already the part i am failing at XD
- Check for the width and the height of the image (wich i either will include in the XML document or can i use something like: XMLData.image[ *number here* ].img_thumb.width (as a example)?
- Check if these are less than the UILoader's size and if they are less dissable scale content, if they are more enable it
So as i said im already failing at trying to dump the images in the thumbnails.I've got the following setup:
Root document has a MC: mc_content.
Inside mc_content we have: loader_image (full size of the image loader)
loader_thumb1 and loader_thumb2.
So what i want:
- Load the XML (works)
- Set some limits using variables (works)
- Start a for loop (works)
- get the thumbnail for the current image number (wich is a variable set and maintained in the for loop) (works)
- load the image into the loader_thumb *insert current image number here* (fails)
here is my current XML function:
ActionScript Code:
// Function that is called upon loaded complete
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void{
// get the XML Data from the file

Im adding videos to my stage with AS3 and was wondering if it is possible to then add the standard flashh video controls to the video with script..[code]
View 0 RepliesI have a movie that contains a series of radio button groups, which each have their own accompanying dyn text box. When a certain radio button is selected, a pre-determined value is loaded into each respective groups' text box, via "onRelease".
Now, I can get these values to appear fine in each text box, but I then have a fourth text box (amount_total), into which I want to have the sum of all the previous text box's values.
I have a submit button with the following actions on the first frame of the timeline:
onSubmit = function (){
_root.amount_total = Number(_root.total_surf) + Number(_root.total_music) + Number(_root.total_video);
}
Now, when I hit the submit button NaN is returned.
