I have this code on a button that relates to AS elsewhere in the movie (this works fine, BTW):[code]and I want to add the following to the same on (release) command:[code]But I don't know the proper syntax to make both work.
View 12 RepliesI am doing a flashlite project (AS2) for an embedded application and am having trouble figuring something out. I want a single instance of a menu button that I can move with keyboard cursor presses to specific locations on the Y axis. Figuring out that part was easy but I am stumped on adding multiple commands to the same button.
The initial script I am working with is:
on (keyPress "<Down>") {
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var xPosT:Tween = new Tween(high, "_y", regular.easeOut, -234.8, -186.8, 6, false);
}
[Code].....
To tell it that if the button is at -186.8 go to -135.6. So obviously I am having trouble using keyPress "<Down>" twice. What would be the best way to approach this? I would like to have numerous keyPress "<Down>" and keyPress "<Up
I have a .swf that opens in a popup. At the conclusion of the clip, I have a button. I would like the button to redirect the parent window and close itself.

Currently I'm working on a platform type game. I have a for loop in place to check weather or not the players feet are touching the ground. I had this;

This works fine only if one of the floors exist(IE if floor1 is on the stage, but floor2-5 aren't); So to try and counter it I tried using;
[Code]...
But to save myself time, and to give myself the ability to add floors without altering more then i<5 to the amount of floors I have, I would prefer a easier method hopefully something to do with for loops.

I have BUTTON_A inside MOVIECLIP_A on frame 1 this script on BUTTON_A is:
//goto the root and goto frame2
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
[Code]....
THE PROBLEM: I cannot get flash to do both commands from BUTTON_A. When BUTTON_A is clicked, its supposed to goto frame 2 AND show a blue square (just a simple graphic) AND loadMovie into the container 'MOVIECLIP_B'
I can't seemed to get both commands to work simultaneously. DId I write this script incorrectly?
give unique instance names to multiple children of the same object?
I have a sprite that I would like to use action script to create 3 instances of on stage and then control each separately.
I have been learning about classes and oop programming with AS2. I think I have a very good idea of how it all works, but I'm lacking in one final area before I can truly say I'm coding in OOP. Currently, I use a contentmanager class to route all button commands through. This class handles the removal and preperation of the stage for content change, and then seperate classes handle the actual loading and placement of the new content.
So in a way, its not really OOP, just very well organized code. The next step is Event Management in AS2. I know it can be done, I read through a few tutorials, but get confused by it all. What I'm looking for now is two things.. a very good Event Management tutorial or article if anyone knows of any..
as well as a sample site that can be downloaded or viewed which has been written using OOP. I want this sample site, to re-evaluate how my current way of programming holds up compared to more proffessional examples...(Perhaps even we can turn this into a hot thread with examples of code and structures to help other developers trying to gain a grip on OOP..?)
is there someone who know's how to give the actions to a button on top of another button. If I try to do this, the button on top doesn't reacts.

View 7 RepliesI'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.

INSTANCE NAMES
box 1 = "circle_mc"
box 2 = "circle_mc2"
both the grey boxes are called = "targetCircle"

In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view.
Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I'm designing an interface for a class, and the buttons that I am using all have multiple functions.For example, when the story button is clicked, I need the mc to stop playing and change to text (in the same window/screen, just no mc playing). The mc is 31 frames long, but if there's a way to just make it loop continuously until told not to, Currently, my code looks like this:
stop();
story_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,story);
function story(event:MouseEvent):void { gotoAndStop(32);}credits_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,credits);[code]...
When I click the button, the mc does not stop playing and the text does not show up.
i started with a Multiple mp3 players project and i more complicated with that - as you see in the picture i try to do that when click on the play button for every song this switch the song that selected -first preloading + percentage the mp3 file and after play it immediately and of course there is stop button, pause button when choose a song the previously that play will be muted
View 4 RepliesI've had flash for a long time now but I've only decided to take a good look at it recently. I was looking around the net for tutorials and the like when I came across an interface that was only 50k by Synez. I don't know if you guys have seen it, but it looks larger than 50k to me, yet it's not. I downloaded the .fla file and looked at what the designer used the if tag a lot on the buttons and even certain frames. I guess this way he didn't have to remake anything and this contributed greatly to the file size since he reused existing movie clips.
Say for example that I make a movie clip where the buttons shoot out from nowhere. From this movie clip, I want to target another movie clip, the one with the content on it, without having to add anything to the buttons' movie. know how to use the "if" tags.
I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work.This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.
stop();
next_btn .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextImage);
var imageNumber: Number=1;

View 3 RepliesThe execution of JSFL files seems to have slowed down in Flash CS5. Or, at least, the updating of the display has been severely slowed down. I have a command I use all the time -- so much that I don't even think about it -- that worked fine in CS4 and earlier, but in CS5 it seems to execute too slowly. My command is a replacement for the "Step Forward One Frame" and "Step Backward One Frame" commands in the control menu (the "<" and ">" keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original "<" and ">" keys, and they need to run fast enough that I don't notice their execution time. They don't do that much processing at all, so it really shouldn't be a problem.
I also wrote some functions for profiling, and they indicate that the command is actually running in a reasonable amount of time (around 50ms). When I run it again immediately, though, the execution time balloons to about 300ms. Not only that, but in both cases the display takes its sweet time updating itself. It seems to wait until all activity is finished, and then updates. This means that when I execute the command repeatedly (keyboard-scrubbing the timeline) I don't get to see the current state of the stage until I stop completely and wait for it to update.
As I said before, I never had trouble with this in CS4 and earlier. So my question is: is there any way to tell Flash to update its display in a command, so that I don't have to wait for Flash to get around to it? Relatedly, is there any way to give the javascript interface a higher priority so it'll execute commands faster? keys). I wrote them so that the selected symbols remain selected when going to a new keyframe. Of course, I use this all the time just like I did with the original
We have a web-framework with Flex and Java, whose basic functionality is to execute commands at the background(Unix) and parse and send it back to the client(Flex). This works fine for all silent commands.
We are using Runtime,process to execute commands at java side on request from flex side. The same we need to do for interactive commands/scripts as well.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use SMTP commands through actionscript?
