ActionScript 2.0 :: Check And Wait Before Continuing?
Jul 7, 2011
I have a site with a music player that streams the music. On the site I also have a button that opens a video page. When I press the button, I want to pause the player. That works, except when the player is loading or buffering, I cant pause it. So I want to put something like this on the button...
on (release) {
if audioPlayerStatus = "loading" or "buffering" {
WAIT a bit and check again
} else if audioPlayerStatus = "playing" {
audioPlayer.pause();
}
The status function is bulit into the player. "wait a bit" code.

I have been on countless Flash forums, reading hundreds of posts with varying degrees of suggestions all of which leave me without a solution. Posts have been floating around regarding this topic for almost a decade now, and nothing seems to get resolved. So I come directly to the source. First off, here's a description of the problem. I am not the designer. The designer is very purposeful about the font styles, sizes, colors, etc, that he select. So to even consider bastardizing his work my substituting in any of these godawful "Fonts For Flash" would be inconceivable and potentially jeopardize my job. (Not really, but he is very passionate about his work... and who am I to question the master. What is baffling to me is if you watch the animation closely, the text is actually clearer during the movement... but as soon as the animation ends, that's when the text turns fuzzy.

I am using set interval. I can clear the interval to stop it, but when I use the play(); command it continues from the beginning and I want it to continue from where I left off. The timeline is 10 frame long. I want to continue from a specific frame. I already tried gotoAndPlay (frame#) and it doesn't work. Maybe I had it in the wrong place. I bolded the area that needs some sort of code, somewhere within/below it.
Here is the code.
frame #1
//SET INTERVAL
stop();
callback1 = function (){
if(_currentframe == 10){
gotoAndPlay(1);
clearInterval(ID);

I have an animation stored in a movieclip.I have 5 instances off this mc stored off the stage. Whenever the user enters a wrong response, one of the mc's play a walk animation and a person 'walks' onto the screen. After moving 80 pixels, an if function in the onEnterFrame deletes the onEnterFrame.However, if the user enters more then 5 wrong answers, the persons start a new animation. The problem is that if the user gets a question wrong before the person has finished moving - the person stops and does the new animation.
Thus I was hoping to use setInterval after a check to see if anything is moving. Yet it doesn't see to work. My traces show no delay between the interval trace and the trace after the interval.Here is a section of my code; basically when k = 6, the fifth person has been called previously and the moving variable is a boolean set to true. But when run, there is no 20 second delay, it just says 'slow' then 'delay' and then kicks into the final animation.
Code:
if (k > 5){
trace(person5.moving);[code]....

Is it possible to wait for a response from a URLLoader before continuing execution of code? Yes, I know it's not directly possible, but is there any workaround?
[Code]...
Also a "No, Andreas. For the n-th time, it's not possible!!" reply is acceptable rather that no response.

I have two problems:
1. Despite lots of searching/reading, i am still not sure how to listen for the end of a function in a child class from a parent class.
2. Building on question 1, I need some thoughts on best practices for halting execution until a number of events are met.
E.g. I have a class 'ContentBrowser' that instantiates a variable number of 'StuffList' classes. Upon instantiation of a 'StuffList' class an xml file is loaded for that instance. So I could have 4 or so xml files loading at once. What is the best way to wait until all the 'StuffList' instances have been loaded and parsed before continuing execution of my code within the ContentBrowser class?

I want to be able to throw an error to be traced to the trace output window and to my flashlog.txt file but continue code execution after the error. Is this possible in Actionscript 3? A try catch will not work either because I need the error to be logged with its call stack.

Here is an excerpt of my XML file. (It is properly formatted, and has a root node, etc., but is too long to post the entire thing. Below is just the part I am concerned with.
<question id='Q1' uId='99036' no_ans='2' txt='In a flat structure employees are not expected to provide their bosses with their opinions.' feedback='' type='MC' passingWeight='1' url='media/'>
<answer id='Q1A1' uId='311288' txt='True' weight='0'/>[code]...
What I now need is a way to grab the txt attribute value from the answer tags and be able to access them from anywhere in the fla. Keep in mind that there are two answers for every question. ie:
< answer id='Q1A1' uId='311288' txt='True' weight='0'/ >
< answer id='Q1A2' uId='311289' txt='False' weight='1'/ >

See [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?

The following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?

In case you wonder why I need this - it is a legal requirement, and no, I can't change it.

I'm writing a movie scene in AS3, and I hit a snag. I have a movie where the dialogue is advanced by the user pressing a button (the space bar). I have a speak function which prints out the dialogue to a dynamic text box. However, if I type in this:
speak(1, "Hello world!");
speak(2, "Hello back to you as well.");
Then, my first speak function is immediately overwritten by my second one...because they run at the same time. I'm not using the timeline so, I can't put a stop() function in or anything. I'm doing it all in ActionScript.
Is there a way to pause the movie and wait for the user to press the spacebar before loading up the second function. I was thinking of nesting functions to do it, but that seems overly complicated since I'll have nearly 20 lines of dialogue nested within one another in between moving my sprites around.

Im trying to make some sort of hearing check to see if your ears are still functioning the way they should be. In my program the user is shown 9 images (for example an image of a cat) The images correspond to the 1 - 9 keys. (Im not sure if this is relevant but i'm programming for a Flash Lite application to be run on a mobile device)So let's say the image of the cat is number 1. The sound of the cat is being played and the user has to press the 1 key on his keyboard. However for this to be possible the script must pause and give the user the oppertunity to press the correct key.How can i make sure the script does not continue until a key is pressed after playing a sound.Below is my code so far:
Code:
stop();
var pressedKey = new Number();

Is it possible in AS3, to have 0 alpha for some seconds, then have the buttons fade in... and I say buttons, as I have two of them. But wanted to finish it all of with a nice fade-in effect on my buttons. I've found some nice fade out effects with tweening in AS3, but I need fade in - and would like for me to decide when they should do this. So far I'm pretty satisfied with my first flash file, but I do like perfection!

I have a child component that dispatches an event in Parent. The event in parent makes a call to our database. Right now, the event gets fired off & the child continues without the results. How do I make it so that the child waits for the results from the database b/f the child continues?
in child:
<fx:Script>

dispatchEvent(new Event("getDBcontents")); //
dispatch the event in the parent do some more stuff here but we need pause until we get the result from the parent

I have two Flash banner ads, built in CS5.5, using AS2, that will be placed on a page together and appear to interact with each other when played at the same time. Similar to this: [URL]..
The problem is that they might not load at the same time. How can I get each banner to check that the other has finished loading before playing?
I had read that LocalConnection was the way to do this, but I haven't been able to find anything that explains it well.

I have two sharedProperties in an app, one of them is in addition a batonProperty. It is easy if I only want one of them to be synched, I just add an eventlistener to the sync event. If I have two though, I can still attach event listeners to both to check when each syncs, but how would I wait for both of them to be synched?

essentially, I'm loading some clips dynamically via xml offstage...they then pan to the center of the screen. Pretty easy, except the files (about 100k+) aren't loading fast enough, and they're showing up halfway through the tweenYes, I know, I need to wait until the clip has loaded...but how? I've tried onLoad(success), getBytesLoaded() ==getBytesTotal() etc...but I can't so much as get the file size of the file at the end of the xml branch. Before I go any farther, here's the code:
button.onPress = function() {
var itsloading = _root.gallcon.gal.attachMovie("loader_circ", "loading", 60);
itsloading._x = 380;
