here's what i need to do. suppose i've stored some actionScript statement like say movieClip._x = 200; or movieClip.removeMovieClip(); as a text string inside a string variable or a text file. is there a function that can take this string as an argument and execute the statement?
View 4 RepliesAnyone know how or have any ideas on how to tell flash to wait for a "x" number of frames or time before it executes the next line in the script?
View 1 RepliesThere's a movieclip, lets call it myMovieClip. Inside this movieclip there is a dynamic text box, lets call this one myText. Now to change the text within this text box that is embedded in a movieclip, it's simply:

However, what if there is a variable, called myVariable that stores the instance name of the text box. With only one text box I know it's pointless, but for the sake of example, lets leave it simple. So, suddenly the code looks like:

on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
textbox.text = textbox.text.toLowercase();

For some reason if I put mom,dad, etc. in the text box and submit all I get is my invalid frame.
how do i print a dynamic text. i.e I have a main.swf movie that loads external.swf within external.swf there is a text box with a scroll bar and i need to add a print command that prints only that text field the code that i added to a buttons looks something like this
on (release) {
printNum(0, "bmovie");

I'm making a presentation and want to make the text of the slides appear on command.This is what I wrote on the actions layer.
1.) First frame
bg_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSlide);
bg_mc.buttonMode = true;
function playSlide(event:Event):void[code]........
On the actions layer there's a stop "stop();" before each new layer starts. But it doesn't work. I tried to paste the code in any order but still nothing. I works on a sample fla file I got.
I came across this simple flash site,[url]...
in the Profile (first button) you are able to copy and paste the text. I was wondering how this was done.[url]...
I'm new to Adobe Flash and especially new to Actionscript. Could somebody give an example and explain how to make and "Ignore *this* command if..." style command. Here's what I want to achieve:I have made a button (I may have done it in an odd way but it works) that moves when the mouse hovers over it and then moves back when the mouse moves away. I plan to put the finished product into Dreamweaver and have tried what I've done so far and it works. The problem is that if I move the mouse away before the first animation of the button has finished. It doesn't reach the *Mouse Out* command and then just sticks/stops in the bit where I have put a *stop* command.Basically, what I want is a way to ignore a command if something happens earlier on (such as the cursor being moved away).I've tried to explain the best I can without actually screenshotting it and copying commands.

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to execute some actionscript in a child swf from the parent without actually having the script in the child swf,or having to add a callback.I'm new to flash so i don't know what can be done,or if it's easy to do.to be more specific,i need search a array.
View 6 RepliesI've setup a very simple FLA, if you wanna see what I'm talking about:[URL]..If you fire the swf and you click the red thing (button), you will go to frame 2. If you click it again, you will go to frame 1.
Both frames contain a green mc with a "this.visible=false" action, so you shouldn't see it the first time.
Now click fast the red button. You will see the green mc from time to time.So, seems the flash movie is executing "clicks" every ENTER_FRAME (not immediately when you click the button). The sample mc I attach has a framerate of 1fps, so you can see easily the behaviour, but it's the same with 30fps.
And the same for the green mc. The "this.visible=false" line is not executing immediately when the main timeline reaches the related frame.
In the second frame, the green mc is contained inside a red mc. If you break appart this red mc, all will work as it should and you will never see the green mc (the FLA file is attached as well, so you can test).
So, my main goal is that I can never see the green mc, being it or not child of other mcs.
I have created a as3 log in script in flash cs5 that sends the username text and password text into two php variables. now everything works fine if i call navigateToURL (PhpURL,"_ blank");it returns with success , but the problem is that when i try to get to trace the output of the php file , it returns with a failure(even though i also call the above code at the same time and that returns success in my web browser). could it be a problem with cs5 , how would i go about viewing the trace() after i published it and put it on my local web sever.[code]
View 3 Repliesis it possible to stop a web service from executing?
I have a flex web application that searches clients with both full name and client id, when searching by name sometimes the usuer just types the last name and it takes a long time.
Since the app is used when clients are waiting in line, I would like to be able to stop the search and use their full name or id instead, and avoid waiting for the results and then having to search the user manually within the results.
I meant "web service" I actually meant mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService, I want to stop it from waiting for the result event and the fault event.

I have a set of ~5 ActionScript 3 classes that are currently used within a flex 4 application. Although their output is used to display graphs etc in my flex app, the classes themselves have no visual components - they are only used to do complex math computations (I originally implemented them in AS3 in order to avoid constant server calls when computations were needed by the flex app).
However, I now want to make the same mathematical computation engine available on my linux server so the computations can be done within PHP. Is there any way at all to access the logic in these classes on the server? I would really like to avoid re-implementing the complex logic in PHP.
I'm a total noob using the Facebook Graph API for AS3. I have a Flash game and the idea is to upload it to Facebook, and everything seems to be ok (When entering the Facebook app, the swf shows perfectly and I'm able to post the facebook user id, the user name and the score to a database in the server where the game is located. I intend the game to automatically post to the user feed what he/she had score, but after making a lot of tests I found out that the method is simply not running.[code]
View 1 RepliesHere's a damn useful snippet:
ActionScript Code:

Put that code in a utility class, and then from any function or method in your app, call myClass.reportStatus("Something happened"); and you will be rewarded with something like this:
