Mar 11, 2011I've built controllers for the application which are defined in the Document class while the get & set methods are in the appropriate class. I find they become very screen real-estate intensive once you have more than 10 methods so i was wondering if anyone could let me know a way for writing them which has one function and sets and gets all the properties. heres some of them which define all the height,width, color,stroke,fill,tint of a drawn rectangle.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Shorthand For Value Reversal ?
Jan 22, 2010Is there an easier way to do this?
ActionScript Code:

Didn't know if I've missed some kind of reversal syntax that could instruct an IF statement to reverse it's value if it is true.
ActionScript Code:
//theoretical reverse method
if(!mc.visible) reverse;

ActionScript 1/2 :: Coding In A Different Way?
Apr 16, 2010I have 6 MC on stage with a button on each. When clicked it plays the timeline in the MC. I want to make sure that none of the other MC are playing or 'open'. So I wrote code in each clip to close the others down, but it just seems a really lengthy way of doing it.
So I've been trying to figure it out with var/strings and some script like. btn1.onRelease play this... if there is another MC open then close it. someone point in the right direction. So I can learn... I've thought about this alot and I would use this way of coding alot. rather specifying and repeating the statement on each clip.

View 2 RepliesButton Coding - How To Use MovieClip
Nov 11, 2009I'm keen to use movieclip instances instead of button instances, but I will have a lot of buttons. If I use MovieClips: Is there any way to avoid coding the rollover functions etc. for EVERY movieclip instance? - ie is there anyway to code the behaviours into the master Movieclip button (ie the way buttons have built in behaviours), rather than have to add multiple event listeners to every instance - just to get a rollover effect?

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Coding On Dropdown Menu?
Jan 18, 2009First, an explanation to what I am doing. I am currently building a Flash movie to go onto a CD. It will be self contained so that the audio files are not exposed for easy bit torrent sharing, and is pretty working really well until this point. have build a custom dropdown menu which is functioning (when you click on the button, the dropdown animates and brings up the new options to select from), however...I cannot seem to get the coding correct on them. I have scripted them so that if you was to click another link or dropdown, that the previous link would be closed. But the buttons within the dropdown will do nothing but look pretty, for a lack of better terms.
The downdown menus are within a movie clip for the Nav Bar, separate layers from the other buttons of course.Yet when I source the scripting to go to those buttons to call the EventListener...nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? If needed,I can make a "random" version of the layout.Demo song buttons will link to an audio page on Scene 1, but at different frames. Multimedia will also have two separate frames which hold two separate functions. I already know how to make the direct buttons (credits and the B-Side) work correctly, but the dropdown buttons will not function for me.

IDE :: Custom Radio Buttons Coding?
Mar 9, 2010Does anyone know the actionScript to apply to custom radio buttons? I want them to function exactly like the component radio buttons available in CS3, but I can't use those because adding one makes the .swf about 30k and I have a 30k limit on all flash files.I imagine the radio button would have to be a mC with frame 1 a drawing of a button unchecked and frame 2 the button checked. Then another mC of 4 of those radio button mC's grouped together and coding to tell it that when one is clicked to unclick the others, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I haven't been able to find any info on this online since everyone just uses the component versions anymore
View 5 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Weekly Coding Challenges?
Feb 18, 2006I've just come upon an idea, on how people could learn to write AS. Every week there would be announced projects that would have to be written in AS. There could also be levels of difficulty for different people.
After annoucing the task, for instance: "Make a dynamic slide show, that will load files from a XML file, and display them by fading-in / fading-out at some intervals". People could start writing something, and if someone would have any trouble, It could have been answered in the topic. After a week, the best working projects would be selected and added as a opensource, or mayby even converted into tutorials.
I know that my idea was allready made a hundred times, that was just an example. If the idea would pass, there could be a poll, or another topic for project ideas.
I think that it's an idea worth thinking about. I personally would participate in it, just for the challenge.
P.S: Im posting this here, because in other forums the topic could just die, w/o much people viewing it.

ActionScript :: Splitting Flash Design And Coding?
Oct 14, 2009Hi, I am brand new to Flash and I come from other development environments so I have a question about a possibility. I am aware that you can have a symbol (like a MovieClip) use a custom class to handle how it responds to the world, but I was wondering if it's possible to be able to set some values via flash without having to touch code. For example, I create a MovieClip called Crate, which has a class that lets it be destroyed, but then the designer wants to specify that certain crates have contents inside of them. Is there any way to do that in flash without having to create a new class for the crate?
In other words: the designer puts a Crate in the world and then sets a propery (for example: contents = TennisBall) and the Crate class handles the rest. Will this work? Also, am I right to understand that instances of symbols are all the exact same? So I can't have the designer create a new instance of Crate and then change it to be a little different (like draw a sticker on the Crate), but still have it be the same as all the other Crates?
I hope these questions make sense and I apologize if I asked this in the wrong forum. I'm very interested in developing games for flash, especially after the news that CS5 will let you export to the iPhone, but I'd like to keep the code away from the designer as much as possible,
ActionScript 3.0 :: Coding Hierarchy And Removing Children?
Jan 20, 2010To give a brief background of what's going on here.I am building a personal site where I have a navigation, and I have other subnavs inside of certain pages.Such as if I go to "work" inside of work i have "motion", "web" & "print".Here is some example code of one button on the navigation:
nav_mc.personalbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick2);
function buttonClick2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("personal");[code]...
It seems to me that actionscript will not read all the way down to the bottom when looking for objects.For example: The first if statement where it's asking if workss_mc exists or not, that will work if it's at the top, but if I move it down to the bottom it will not work.
