ActionScript 2.0 :: Deleting Functions - Stops Rotating?

Jun 26, 2006

I have a question regarding creating a master fuction that when called deletes a whole bunch of other functions.To better visualize what I'm explaining below, view this URL: http:[url]... It'll be huge in a browse..r since its just a swf file.

To explain a little further:I downloaded the trial version of the Flash Timer component from FlashLoaded. I needed something that counts down to do a kind of a rotating banner. The best example on the web is ESPN's rotating headline thing halfway down the page. Notice how it switches, yet once something is clicked, it stops rotating? So, with that said, the best and quickest way my novice ActionSript knowledge could muster is to have multiple timers that all count down at different times. Then, once a timer is counted down, it moves the the master movieclip left.Here's the stinker: I can't make it stop rotating once one clicks on a button.I tried something like this:

Code:
function deleteTimers () {
delete.timer1();[code]...

Actionscript 3 :: Movieclip Stops Rotating After It's Box2D Body

Nov 30, 2011

I have made a Car Game using Box2D [in Flash] and I have one remaining bug, which I cannot fix. I added graphics and put them on top of the Box2D body. Everything went as good as expected, but after X rotations the movie clips for the car-wheels, stop spinning. I do something like this wheelSprite.rotation = wheelBody.GetAngle() * 180 / Math.PI. I ran a separate program and I saw that, if you do X.rotation += variable and you increase the variable every frame, after ~30 000 (value of variable) the MovieClip stops rotating, so I reset it to 0 after ~28 000. What do I do? The wheelBody.GetAngle()

Interactive - When The User Mouses Over The Globe Is Stops Rotating - Button

Jul 9, 2009

I made an interactive rotating globe that shows all the continents (using CS3 and AS3). The globe rotates automatically. When the user mouses over the globe is stops rotating and they can use left/right arrows to rotate it manually to get to a continent. When the mouse rolls over a continent (Australia for instance) it changes color and should be clickable and go to a website but it's not working. It doesn't return any errors. The basic structure of it is this:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Import Vs Include - Basic Functions To Be In BasicFunctions.as And The Make A Library For More Specific Functions

Jun 6, 2010

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

Deleting Images From Library

Jul 24, 2009

i have an image and it is a large sheet with series of poses for a character (like a sprite sheet), and wanted to take them out to be animated and make them into individual movie clips.I did successfully, but I went to delete the original image, however, the movie clips became red fills.Is there a way I can get rid of the original without affecting the movie clip?-If not-I wanted to do this because I thought it may save memory but i am not really sure if it will affect the memory since the sheet itself is not going on the stage, is there a chance that this full sprite sheet in the library won't effect the file size of .swf?And if it does, if I turn it into a graphic, or movie clip, will that compress it?I use Flash CS3!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Deleting The Multiple Mc's?

Mar 12, 2012

I can of course use removeMovieClip but I heard there was a more simple solution - attaching all of the MC's to another MC, and then deleting this MC would also delete all attached MC's. I saw some examples (starting with createEmptyMovieClip but I guess I'm having some problems with syntax.

ActionScript Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("movie1", this.getNextHighestDepth());
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie2", this.getNextHighestDepth();
movie1.attachMovie("whatever", "movie3", this.getNextHighestDepth();
...

This code does not work...What I'd like is to remove movie1 so that it would delete all the others. Can it work?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Deleting From An Array?

Feb 23, 2003

Is there a way to delete a specific value in an array? For example, the array:"Banana Peel,Hippopotamus Leg,Computer Wire,Keyboard"Would there be any way to delete just "Computer Wire" from the array? I found the Array.splice thingy, but it seems that you need to know the index of the thing. Therefore i guess my question is: Is there any way to find the index of a particular value.In the thing I am making, the value could be at any index in the array (it is put in place by the user), so I could not just say Array.splice(2,1,)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mimicing The Until Functions - Load Of Global Functions In One File?

Nov 4, 2009

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:

[Code]...

So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Deleting An Object Out Of An Array?

Mar 12, 2010

Actionscript Code:
var gameObjectArray:Array = new Array();var gameTimer:Timer = new Timer(25);gameTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, gameLoop);gameTimer.start();

[code].....

So every 25 milliseconds, a block is being created and it pushed into an array. The for loop cycles through the array and moves the x by 1 for each object in the array. If the x reaches past 300 pixels, then I want to delete the object from the game entirely. The way I'm doing it now yields an error, so what am I doing wrong and what should it look like inside of the "if (i.x > 300)" stuff?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Deleting The Function At The End Of The Level?

okay so there is my timer above, the timer counts down and everything else works exept for deleting the function at the end of the level, at the end of the level the script goes to another frame to show you have passed the level and then goes back to the previous frame to play the next level, all the new objects are made but the timer then counts double so its like the timer is running twice at a time so instead of counting down 1 everysecond it counts down 1 every half second, i have tried delete countdown();.i dont know how you actually make this work or how to go about it,

ActionScript 3.0 :: Deleting Clips And Loaders?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing SWF From Memory After Deleting From DOM

Sep 29, 2011

I'm having a problem where I load my SWF (Advertisement) into the dom after an event happens in a flash game.  After viewing the ad, the SWF is removed with JavaScript and users continues to play, this continues several times without ever reloading the page.
 
The problem I am running into is in IE 8 & 9 performance of the game drops and frame rate becomes choppy after several ads are shown.  Each advertisment has a timer built in and my thought is that the ad is not being fully removed from memory hence causing a slowdown. 
 
Is there a way to ensure a full removal of the ad or at least a way to detect within the ad that it is no longer on the page & kill the timer?

Professional :: Bug When Deleting Anchor Points

Oct 10, 2011

I think I discovered a bug. Say this is a line with anchor points:
 
x---x---x---x---x---x---x
 
And this is what I want to achieve using the Delete Anchor Point Tool:
 
x-----------x-----------x
 
Then this is as far as I'm actually able to get:
 
x-------x---x-----------x
 
Because for some reason, if I delete the 2nd anchor point, the 3rd will be deleted too. I can, however, delete the 3rd without deleting the 2nd.
 
It is only after I've moved the 3rd further away that I'm able to delete the 2nd, but this gets tiring after a while.
