ActionScript 2.0 :: Check If There Is Anything In Call Stack?
Dec 3, 2007I was wondering is it possible to use some command to check if there are any functions in the Call Stack? (you can see it in the debug mode)

which in effect will get me the method name which called callingMethod(). In order to support reflection via describeType(), a class has to be extended with the class containing callingMethod which isn't very developer friendly (very fragile in general). Are there any other methods I can use to figure out from within a method, which name it has?
Do the number of call stack layers affect performance, i.e. cause a performance hit?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a card game everything is fine but I am not able to create a stack of cards as follows: If I have 4 cards that are represented in an array such as 4,5,6,7 of Spades then I want the card with the least priority to be placed on top and the highest priority card placed behind the first one.
View 2 RepliesSee [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?
View 7 RepliesI am receiving xml from a webservice call that contains a nil="true":[code]I used the Flex DataService (webservice) wizard to create the service objects for the cacheEntry component. This object will be serialized later on a different webservice call and stored in a database.I set a breakpoint on the set SystemFK method in the service object. It appears that the value passed in was an empty string!Allowing this value to be an empty string will cause problems in the webservice implementation in Java on the other side. Since the database value was null it is expecting a null in return, If I avoid setting this value, the serviceObject should send back a null which will make the database happy.How can I detect that a nil = true is present in the XML in order to avoid setting this value?
View 1 Repliesi have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

What I'm trying to do is, create 5 or 7 movie items in a list and when you click on any of the items the items in the front will move to the back of the list.sort of like selecting a specific cd in a jukebox.So when you click on the 3rd item the first one in the front fades and shows up in the back, than the second item fades and comes back in the back and the 3rd item is now in the front.I think I can do it to 1st item in the front by changing the stack order but not sure how I can make the first 2 items move to the back.
View 2 RepliesI found this strange bug while coding, and wrote it in the simplest way to be sure it was true. Try opening a new AS3 FLA file, and write this code in the Actions Panel:
function someFunc(x1:String, x2:String, x3:Number=0):String
{
var my_result:String = "result";
return my_result;
}
someFunc("someVal1", "someVal2");
Calling someFunc will call a #1023 stack overflow error!The only way not to have it is to remove the "x3" Parameter. That'sso strange (and annoying, 'cause before realizing this was a bug i was getting crazy trying to find an error in my original code, which was much more complex).
I recently downloaded the Stack Overflow XML dump, and began playing around with the files. I plan to develop some visualisations of the data, for the community of course, but I am wondering does anybody have any suggestions on how they would like to view or indeed interact with this data? Social Network Analysis springs to mind, and maybe some Flex interactive charts...
View 3 RepliesI don't think "Chain" is the right word here. But this is my problem: I have a que of 1000 items that need to be downloaded. I use a loader with an event: Event.COMPLETE calls a function. This function creates a loader with an event which on Event.COMPLETE calls that function again ... etc. This has never been an issue. I never even knew it meant that it would all be stacked up in memory.On iOS this is proving to be an issue. At a certain maximum, it just tells me I've reached the limit. So at 500 I insert a Timer so that I can start calling these functions from "level 0 " again.
View 3 Replieswhat i thought was a fairly straighforward loop to work correctly.i want to display 6 pictures (which are selected randomly from a group of 5) to stack on top of one another function executes without errors, but it only seems to work for the last image.I don't mind that the stacking images may repeat.[code]last line traces 6 times as "child # 6 is added"...
View 0 Repliesat the moment I've got a (perhaps) requirement for specifying precedence to certain queries within a movie, which will be dealing with the upload of assets through flash to a php backend.
Does anyone have any info, or maybe a pointer in the right direction with regards to how flash deals with the internal URLRequest stack. If that's even how it works.
I may be vastly over simplifying the way flash works, but the only analogy I have is my own exploration into protoyping an AJAX query stack a couple of years ago, where you'd be able to alter the stack ordering depending on request priority as it were.
I'm currently coding an image stack, (in quick words, when the user click on the top image, this one goes and hides at the end of the stack and displays the one under)I have the project to add a menu to be able to jump to specific images (the position could be stored on the id of the link or in xml)
Link 1 would take me to image 3
Link 2 would take me to image 7
...
(let's take an example) if I want to access image #5 (right in the middle of a stack of 10 pics) how should I code it the proper way to make disappear the pictures before (if there are some), and place them after the ones currently under the image # 5
Example :
image3
image4
image5 > the one to bring on top

Would anyone know why the photo stack flash gallery won't work in Firefox? IE works fine. I'm fairly sure its just a bit of syntax i'm missing, or a compatibility issue. I am using a .swf file which imports images in using an xm l file and then displays them as a stack of photos which can then be rotated and looked through.

I'm binding two AutoCompleteModified objects to one another; meaning you type in one and it selects the correct object in the other. It works fine when I define it in MXML: However, a user can add a new row to a Grid and then I set up the binding and objects via actionscript and it gives an 'undefined' error:
ChangeWatcher line 427/wrapHandler.
var innerHBox:HBox = new HBox();
var dtc_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified();
dtc_acm.dataProvider = data2;
dtc_acm.labelField = 'id';
var cp_acm:AutoCompleteModified = new AutoCompleteModified();

If I only keep it 1-way binding then it works fine. But both throw this error. Is there something about not only doing it 2-way in actionscript, but adding components that aren't on the stage yet?
i recently started to learn AS3 and i decided to make a portfolio website with it. I am loading the information about the websites i created from an external XML file.Everything its working well but when i load a new picture to the stage the previous picture remains there which in my understanding it shouldn't happen. As i understood from Adobe's AS3 Guide once you create a new instance of a loader, the previous one should be erased.
I've been looking all over the place for a solution but i can't find one that will work. I tried using the .unload class and i tried removeChild as well but it keeps giving me errors.

I am trying to use a combobox in flex with an array to change to a canvas in a view stack. Can I do this with some custom action script? The UI I am designing could really benefit form this.
View 3 RepliesAny way to take the contents of an array, which is full of texttype, and use them to create a stack of buttons. Now the actual text I have in the array will change every time the program is run. For example, let's say my array is ["apples","oranges","pears"]. I want to create three buttons (in this example) so that it appears
apples
oranges
pears
And when you click on "apples", it takes you to the corresponding "apples" webpage ("_blank").

I'm having a strange problem w/ stack overflow errors after instantiating a simple class only 4 times. The strange thing is that when I put a trace statement where the classes are instantiated, it clears up the problem.

I have view stack in a app like so:[code]When an event is fired, I call viewStack.selectedChild = childSelectionView.how do I code a listener for the NavigatorConent being selected?[code]I know that all the NavigatorConent's dispatch a creationComplete event on the application start, but their childrent aren't created yet. How did I respond to the on selectedChild change to self?

I'm trying to develop a card game with Flex, and I was wondering if there's a way to create an horizontal list (the cards that I have in my hand) having the elements overlapped, like you can see in this example made with openflux: [URL]. The thing that's missing here is the possibility to swap the cards with drag and drop. What I could do to get a similar effect with an horizontal list based component?
View 2 RepliesI'm looking to take an object that contains String and Integer context and that has pushed upon a Stack and pop those specific contents into a display that the user can see.

View 1 RepliesI'm really struggling to resolve a stack underflow that I'm getting. The traceback I get at runtime is:
VerifyError: Error #1024: Stack underflow occurred.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
This is particularly difficult to debug because when I run in debug mode it does not happen at all. It only happens when compiled as a release.

applicationComplete seems to be an even better event than creationComplete to put application initialization code. See this blog entry for some explanation, and and this video (around 4:25) by an Adobe Tech Evangelist for an example of simple "start of application" data initialization.
