ActionScript 2.0 :: Get Effect Of A "when" Type Statement
May 4, 2004
I'm trying to form a statement that, in effect, is a when statement. I have made a movie clip that fades in and out. As it is rolled over it fades in, and when you roll out, it fades out - no problem scripting that with if statements: if _currentframe == Frame Number.
But the issue I'm having is that if you mouse over it and then out quickly, it will interrupt the fade in and automatically goto the fade out frame. I want to have a statement that says if you mouse out "WHEN the fade in is complete (or when it hits frame number whatever), THEN gotoAndPlay fadeout frame" even if the mouse is off the clip.

Having a few problems with what I thought was a simple if statement. Here is the code:
[Code]...
I can't quite figure out the small problem with the code. It seems to just bypass the first requirement of the if statement when I do type in the proper input and go straight to the else statement.
I really like the text effect Pom used in the footer contest, and would like to use the same grid-type method of creating mc letters but with a different effect. i understand how to change the parameters and shapes of the letters, but can't seem to figure out which piece of code is purely for the explosion effect. basically, i want the letters but with the 'Repel' effect from[URL] here is Pom's AS:
[AS] cellSize=3; radius=10; damp=.85;
[code]....
and here is the .fla using the repel effect using pre-made mc:
basically i have an xml file that is loading image paths to my loader clip, i need to modify the code to load a pdf in a new window aswell. I'm working alonge the lines of using an if statement, but i do not know how to define it to distingiush the pdfs from the jpgs.
function changePic(pict:Number):void { pictURL = EXTxml.picture[pict].@image; trace(pictURL); if (pictURL == //ends in .pdf)
I want to find out which type an object has. Therefore I thought of the 'switch' statement, but how would you do that? The following code does not work, but you will get the point of what I want to do.
Code: switch (object) { case is String: trace("string"); case is Array: trace("array"); [Code] ....
Im trying to create a dynamic text typing effect that will type the text from a variable like a computer with a cursor in front of the text.There's a dynamic textbox with variable field on stagecursor is a blinking rectangular movie clip designed to precede the text.Here's the code I got so far:
I am looking to create an effect this this: [URL] Or even were the lines come in as a group or lines do a moment and move off the stage again. Been trying to mask it but the problem is that the line vectors have no inside too them, just a pure line.
how to make a movie clip have an elastic type effect on it when you can click and drag it and it snaps back into place in a springy type way. Also would like to have a maximum that it will allow you to drag it before it will snap back on its own.I've been Googling for 2 days looking for an answer and have had no luck yet.
i have "roll over" event listener and i would like to that works only with MovieClips (without textfields etc.). I would like to write something like that:
if(event.target == MovieClip){ do something } else { do something else}
This doesn`t work properly.
How to check type of event.target in "if" statement?
The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);
The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.
I need to write an if statement inside an if-else statement. But no matter how I write it it keeps giving me a syntax error.The syntax error is "1083: syntax error: else is unexpected".[code]No matter how or where I place the braces, it keeps giving me errors.
the problem is obviously that the compiler reads this code rather than understanding I'm trying to regenerate the code within the for loop...does that make sense :S? So basically I need as3 to read the code between the for statement as if it is going to echo that out later. Is this even possible?
I get the error message. Doing like tuts said. package { import flash.events.*; // rememeber to import all flash libraries or the ERROR will come up with "TYPE" does not exist etc.
I'm basically having the following error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Array. In relation to the event listener that calls 'Backdrop'. Backdrop is a public function in another class, but it does still recognise Backdrop as a function.
im making a game and i have occured a problem.i have a hits text on the screen and every time a enemys bullet hits me it decrases by 1.and i wanna make that when it gets to 0 my ship explodes.
I have a dynamic text field on the stage, instance name contentLength. I get this error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
Code: import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.text.TextField; var mcHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); mcHolder.width = 200; contentLength.text = mcHolder.width;
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) { var currentIndex:MovieClip = this["menuButton" + i] currentIndex.menuButtonTxt.text = menuArray[i];
[code]...
So when I did this the problem that I am having is that it throws an error at compile time. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
var result:int; if(observerButton.selected == true) result = assignMemberAsObserverToEvent(dataGrid.selectedItem.id_event,dataGrid2.selectedItem.id_person,assignmentDescription.text); else if(adminButton == true)
[code]...
There is error on two assign function calls.
The error is: Description Resource Path Location Type 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type int. AssignUser.mxml /pui2/src line 149 Flex Problem
I've created a textfield which I want to hold the time that is left of a flv being played. I also created a timer which will see to it that it gets updated.[code]However, when i try to compile i get this error message:"1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
I constantly get:Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type lash.display.BitmapData.var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(BitmapData);This is my code from where it tells me it's wrong"
ActionScript Code: var jpg:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(); var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(BitmapData);
Basically plots a dot wherever you click. Getting the error 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type Function.
