here is my problem. I have a slideshow that I wish to pause when I rollOver a button, and to resume when I rollOut.
here is the the interval part of the code:
var ssInt = new Number();
ssInt = 100;

I'm having an issue with setInterval/clearInterval when it comes to dealing with objects. Take this example:

Why does clearInterval not stop the interval? Does clearInterval not work when called inside a setInterval? Am I doing something wrong? How do I get it to delete the interval when it reaches a certain count?
Code:
var STextOnce = 0;
var CurrentLapentum = 0;
var LockOnce = 0;[code].........
For some reason, the clearInterval(SpinnerInterval); is not working and when I call it, the ring still keeps spinning :
I have just started working with classes and am having trouble using setInterval/clearInterval in the class. I am sure my scoping is incorrect but I am not sure how to fix it. My problem (simplified) is below:[code]Bascially, how do I set up my interval so that when "myFunc2" is called, loopImage is not undefined and it is able to clear the interval.

I use an interval to verify when someone scales the browser when tweening, afterwards it shows correctly.The problem is that sometimes the clearInterval doesn't work It always happens after a while when I click next or prev too fast Also bothering is just before the bug, the image scales to very small (sometimes)
Code:
function sizeInterval2 ()
{
loaderback._width = containerMC._width + 10
loaderback._height = containerMC._height + 10

I have a movieclip where I have lots of code, because its kind of a module. Inside it have have some AS2 code inside a movieclip called "mymodule"

can any of you point out if this code is wrong or do I have a bug in my Flash? It's sopposed to be a simple move function, called by an interval, and after reaching the border of the film, it's sopposed to stop. pretty simple, right? right, but theHere's the code I've used: (mcBall = 1 framed movieClip)
_root.onEnterFrame = function()
{
function fMoveIt():Void

I just created an image gallery that displays 3 images at a time. For some reason, it works (for the most part) in Opera, but it doesn't display the images properly in IE.
img1, img2,and img3 are blank movie clips that hold each of the photos. The links to the photos are retrieved from XML, and are displayed in a random order. The first picture shows how it looks in IE, and the 2nd is in Opera. It also seems that the clearInterval() function isn't working like it should. Once the pictures are loaded, they are resized using the resizeMe() function (called by setInterval) to fit in the rectangle.
IE: Opera:
Code:
img1._alpha = 0;
img2._alpha = 0;[code].....
I cannot get the clearInterval command to work. I have a panel that is tweening down into the stage about 4 seconds after the movie loads and then I do not want it to happen again. Right now the panel continues to tween in everytime I close it. Right now, the clearInterval is not working.
var down:Boolean;
var currentInterval:Number;
down=false;

I have a project that requires around 20 external swfs. All of these swfs get called into a _root via XML. Each swf (contains a video swf and some graphics/text) has a progress bar and a playhead that is monitored by using a setInterval(). Once the progress bar is complete, the interval gets cleared.
However, if a user wants to watch a new video before the progress bar gets cleared, the video swf won't load, although all the text and static graphics that are in the swf file will. I think it may be an issue of the interval not clearing, because if the progress bar is completely downloaded and then a new swf is chosen, the video swf loads fine. Can I use clearInterval() from the _root of my movie to clear the setInterval from my external swf?
PS -- I tried to solve this issue by using removeMovieClip() in my _root, and that worked really well on everything but IE 5.2 for Mac?
I am using setInterval to call a function which itself creates intervals to call a second function..My issue is with the second interval in function1 'var b'. I am trying to use clearInterval(b) under certain conditions to stop each interval. This works when I have a 'single' interval created (i.e function 1 is only called once) but as soon as it is called more than once, I get errors.simple eg below
Code:
var b:uint;
var a = setInterval(function1, 1000);[code]....
I actually solved this by creating a 'counter variable' which is passed to function2, and just used clearInterval(counter), counter++; to clear each interval.My issue with this solution is having to keep track of what number interval im up to 'manually'.. and if i create more intervals later on Im worried about 'loosing count' and having to keep track.. and would rather reference the var name itself if possible?
I've tried to compare my counter var to the value of the interval via a trace, and they appear to be the same. So I dont understand why clear(a) and clear(counter) dont give me equivalent results.
i was wondering if someone could pls help me to code the setInterval/clearInterval functions in a cleaner way?

I typed the following code two ways... one has the word "new" and one doesnt... the one with the word "new" completely ignores the clearInterval() call... however when the code is run without the word "new" it behaves as I expected- with the interval terminating in the first call of the function. why the inclusion of the word new causes the clearInterval not to work?
myInterval = new setInterval(myFunction,100);
function myFunction(){
trace("hello");
clearInterval(myInterval);
}
I'm using a version of XML Slideshow Photogallery that loads slideshow.swf (and other pages) into master.swf. It plays good the first time through and when I trace myInterval, I can see it increment 1,2,3 ... with each slide. When I go to another page and then come back to the slideshow - the myInterval will skip a couple or I get 2 values at the same time. This causes the slideshow to display every other image (or every 3, etc). I can see that the problem is from not clearing the myInterval variable properly. The clearInterval(myInterval); function seems to just clear the last instance created. Is there a way to clear all instances?

isn't bellow the right way to use it ?

when loading/unloading external swfs into a container movie,i`ve noticed that any intervals (within the loaded files)i`ve used are not being cleared despite the movie being unloaded causing errors when the same swf is reloaded. Without manually clearing all intervals is there a way round this?
View 1 RepliesAS3 noobie here..So i am trying to load external SWFs into a DisplayObjectContainer.When i re-instantiate the Loader object it won't clear the old SWF.basically, in this version, i've resorted to adding a new containerover the old one (very bad, i know). I'd love to know how to solvethis issue properly.[code]...
View 21 RepliesI have built a flex application which has a "main" project and it is assosciated with a few RSL's which are loaded and cached once i run my "main" application. The problem i am facing is that the newer versions of my RSL's are not being loaded as the cache holds the older version of my RSL and execxutes the same. Each time i have got to clear the cache to execute the new version of my RSL's, which is irritating.
View 1 RepliesI have a website that is currently all flash-based. Unfortunately if you return to that website, it won't change a thing until you delete your temporary internet files, being that it is flash. So for every update, I have a new .swf file ie: 2801091.swf and this works perfectly fine. However when you enter the calendar, it loads the .xml file but it's always what's been cached.
1) Everything about the flash file can be revised if it's the newest version so dated .swf files aren't created every time there's an update?
2) A way to clear the .xml cache or refresh it every time the calendar is opened?

I might me going crazy, but I've scoured the trying to find a way to clear out or reset or empty an array. I've tried a for loop
for(i=0; i<_root.imageList.length; i++){
_root.imageList.shift();
}
Doesn't always work. So how do I "reset" an array, just clear it out completely so I can reuse it?
In a simplistic view, what I want to do is when the 'previous' or 'next' button is pressed, increase or decrease the page number by 1, which is easy enough, and start afresh...I though it should be a case of removing all the children from the scene and then executing the functions at the start of the script, after all the variables have been set.However, when I do this, I get the following error:
## [Tweener] Error: : [object preloaderMain_12] raised an error while executing the'onComplete'handler.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
[code].....
I set a function for
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
code;
}
but later I want this onEnterFrame to stop functioning to conserve on processor resources.setInterval isn't too good of an option from the way I have things set up, so right now I just set it to a new function with a trace action which overwrites the old one.
I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
I've having a problem when I am removing a child. There is an area where you can choose a button to click(there are multiple buttons here). Once you click a button it loads workss_mc and you can go back from there and workss_mc is being removed then work_mc is being added again. The problem is once it is added again and you click on any of the other buttons the frame label from the previous session when it was clicked is still at that location.

Here is the flash file I am working on for a local kids charity so you can see [URL]. If you press the next button 9 times it will bring you to a drag and drop game I have made, you have to match the targets so it spells cat, this works fine, the problem I am having is that the objects you match stays there for the rest of the frames (try it yourself by pressing next) I am just wondering how to clear this?
View 1 RepliesI am using a Flash Component in our web site to show videos but I need a way to clear flash cache every time the page is loaded. Such a Flash Component configuration is based on an XML file to get the videos that will be played. Is there a way to do it using C# code?
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a flash visual showing a time series of data on a world map. I have created a flash file which 1) creates proportional circles for each country of interest (in this case 6 countries) and 2) has a timeline so that the circles change through time. I have successfully gotten the timeline to work with the proportional circles, however the circles to not clear out before displaying the new circles when adjusting the timeline. I am not able to figure out how to properly clear out the circles. I have tried using the holder.removeChild(c) command before I create my new circles, but get an error which states 'Parameter child must be non-null'.

I am working with the new tfl text fields in Flash 10, and have realized that I cannot completely clear the text field from script.
using classic text, I could do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = "";
however, with tfl text, that does not clear the field and returns no errors. What does work is using a space:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = " ";
But that wont work for what Im doing because it is a text entry box, and I need there to be no leading characters when a user starts to type.
