This time I am trying to use button functions with in IF statements. However I am having trouble with the if statements regonizing the currentFrame(); or currentFrameLabel();. I want diffrent button functions depending on what frame the playhead is in. But the frames are in diffrent movieclips and what not.The next problem is that I do not full understand the way to do frame paths (IE Root.Movieclip.Movieclip) in AS3. series of tutorials that I could read and follow,

If they get it right the money clip advances and they go onto the next question. I want to include each time that it should only go onto the next question if all questions have been asked.

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?

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?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
in this example why the values of (12) and (21,39) are lost at the geo and geo1 functions

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions? Surely it is !!??ie....

Its a complicated senario for me. I have a sound management singleton with an asset like dictionary storing all referances to my urls and assets and the guff inside it-
I have a function called addItem(id:String, url:String):Object
I would love to do something similar as soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).play() or soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).stop() of which it'll both add my item to my dictionary, and begin playing the sound

I am trying to use if and else statements and failing. I am either completely missing their purpose, or just not writing the correct code.

With the if/else statements I need Flash to know what movie clip the user is on, so that the users next action loads the correct movie clip.

View 2 Replieshow do i create an if statement for some buttons to say something like:
-if button1 is pressed go to frame1
-if button2 is pressed go to frame2 etc.
i know i could use button1.onRelease = function(){blah blah;} but i would like to start using if statements and this is a good place to start i guess

First I stated my variable to be 0. I added 3 buttons. Button One makes the variable unit "myVar" to 1 and Button Two makes it 2. And my output button reacts to these variable changes. But it doesn't work.

One_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OneV);
Two_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, TwoV);
Output_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OutputV);
var myVar:Number = 0;

i have got a project im working on that requires if statements
basically im wanting to create 2 or more statements detailling if an answer is right, to move onto the next question but before it does that, to play an audio clip then move on. the next statement will be similar, but i cannot remember how to create them i.e. the syntax.

I'm making a small movie in Actionscript 2, but have found a problem related to the scope of my functions.Figure I have an audio/mute movieclip, with a global variable called "elaudio" (boolean). When "elaudio" == true , the volume is up, when "elaudio" == false, the volume is muted.I'm attaching sounds from the timeline using Actionscript with an object sound, this way:
Code:
_root.audio.attachSound("myWav");
_root.audio.start();

I'm trying to make a "next track" button. "T" is meant to be track number, and every time they click this button, I wanted "T" to increase by one until T>4 where I need it to go back to T=1 (I've only got 4 tracks). Then, I want, depending on what "T" equals, for it to start playing Track"T" and stop playing previous track. I also want the track playing to be looping continuously. At the moment, everything is muted, until I press the button; where it then plays all four tracks at once. I also have a problem with the mute button, but I've got a strong feeling both are of the same reason. I think my problem is that it does not know what "T" equals to begin with so it accepts all if statements; playing all tracks. But I'm new to Flash (my second project) so I'm not sure.
on (release){
stopAllSounds();
T =T+1
if (T>4){
T=1
} if (T = 1){
_root.snd1.start(0, 100);

How do you script a Pause of X Seconds on X Frame and also on that frame have a button release statement that can take you forwards or take you backwards, elsewhere in the timeline - Without affecting the 'Pause' statement... therefore not mucking up the timeline and causing it to jump around at the end when all catches up?I take it once a pause has taken place - a button that can take you elsewhere, if clicked on - does not Cancel the initial pause and therefore lies my problem?
View 3 RepliesWhen use the full path name and the identifier of a movie clip, my conditional statement works fine. However, when I swap the identifier out with "this", it no longer works. This script is contained within the movie clip I am trying to reference. I have found that, "this" works fine by itself on the timeline. It just stops working when I place it within a conditional statement.
Here is my script:
function functionOne() {
randomX = 550*Math.random();
randomY = 400*Math.random();
} functionOneInterval = setInterval(functionOne, 1000);
function functionTwo() {
[Code] .....
The reason I am trying to use "this" instead of the identifier name is because the movie clip it is referencing will be duplicated. This script here generates a random destination point for an enemy spaceship and tells it to constantly move to the changing points. This script is contained within the enemy spaceship movieclip, and I am planning on duplicating several of them at once.
In this example, is there anyway to fade in and out 'mcContactAmer' and 'mcY' as well as place them at specific coordinates, other than externally load them as swfs? This is the only thing holding me back from moving forward on this project and my boss would like to move forward,
