I want to handle some variables BEFORE Frame 1 in the action script, because I need to initialize a variable and set it to 0 only once. Later on in the animation, I will be coming back to Frame 1 and I don't want it set to 0 again, only the first time.
[Code]...
So how do you apply some ActionScript code to when the movie first loads?
The following code showing error
var objectArray:Array=new Array();
for (var i:uint=0; i < 2; i++) {
for (var j:uint=0; j<2; j++) {
[Code]....
I have a problem with listed code that every time I click on btn1 the variable (num) will be initialize to 1. so what is the best practice in my case to initialize the variable (num) for only one time when the flash loaded.
stop();
var num:Number =1;
function b1(event:MouseEvent):void[code].........
I initialize the "point" object like:
point = {x:'209', y:'270'};
trace(point.x);
this is working fine, But I have to initialize the "point" object with a string variable which holds the initialization properties like:

I know this is not working. Is there any method to initialize the object with a string variable which holds the initialization properties (without parsing the text) ?
I have made an image upload manager. I made it initially in Flash Develop as an AS class. I need to convert it to a component in Flash Builder 4.5 It works absolutely fine as a .swf, but I can't figure out how to make the URL request work in Flash Builder. This is what I have between the tags:[code]I didn't put the mxml controls but there is a browse button (id="selects_btn") and a label (id="label_txt") under the button that displays various status messages.I tried adding the init function to the component's creationComplete event. I receive and error saying access of a null object.
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble finding a workaround to get IE to play my SWF again after a user refreshes the page. Here is the part of my preloader code that isn't initializing:
[Code]...
setting a rectangle movieclip instance's width to 20 at the very start, before the ENTER_FRAME function is fired, but the width remains 20 throughout. I've tried different methods, here are two examples.Here's a simplified, short example:
Actionscript Code:
var rect_mcW:Number = rect_mc.width; //store original widthrect_mc.width = 20; //then set the rectangle's width to 20rect_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, growRect);function
[code]....
Ok, so the rect_mc's width remains 20 for each ENTER_FRAME event, even though the event listener function should grow it, but doesn't.One other way I tried was wrapping the 20 width inside a function:
Actionscript Code:
// opening statements omitted for brevity//first call to addEventListener:rect_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, init_width); //on first
[code]....
this second example yields the same result, the rect_mc width remains 20 even Though I thought the event listener that calls the function that sets it to 20 is removed first thing in the second event listener.
So, I assume it's because the code is read from top, and the code that sets width to 20 gets read and executed over and over. But still, shouldn't the growing part also take place over and over? What I want obviously is to store the original width, but start the animation with a width of 20, but just once.
I want to call the sortCompareFunction for a particular row when the grids first loads. Is this possible? Otherwise is there a way to call a sort method on grid load after it has been asssigned the dataprovdier has been updatad
View 2 RepliesI am working on optimizing a page that has Flash on it. I am using optimization practices like moving Javascript to the bottom to not block. Removing inline scripts. And minimizing HTTP requests with minified css and js.The majority of the pages content is in the flash, so loading it as soon as possible is the goal. Currently there is a 2 ~ 3 second delay before the flash is even rendered (using firebug profiling)
I am wondering at what point in the page load does the browser start initializing flash on the page? Is it once the DOM element containing the flash has been rendered? Is it once the complete onload event has been fired? I imagine it probably differs with each browsers as well.
So I have a custom preloader with 200 frames and the corresponding in Flex:[URL]..
So basically each procent is one frame in the movieClip. So when 100% the movie ends and application initializes.
How can I say for example so that when 100% don't start the app but play from frame 100-200 in the movieClip and then initialize the app?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code]....
Is that because i used both applicationComplete and Initilize together ?
Whenever I export the .swf file of my Flash game, I am receiving "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.", along with a Runtime Shared Library Preloading Warning for my preloader. I have my timeline organized so that the first and third frames are both empty along with a stop(); command in the Actions layer. The second frame contains a single MovieClip that contains all of my exported assets, which are going to be initialized in the third frame of the timeline. None of my assets, except for the preloader, are exported in the first frame. What changes should I make to my Document Class for it to initialize the assets in the third frame?

I have a simple slideshow that is non-interactive. It just loops five movie clips loaded externally. Each slide is shown for a certain amount of time that is determined with getTimer.The code for the slideshow is in the last frame of the root timeline. So, basically the slideshow starts when the root timeline finishes playing. The problem is that the timer works great the first time the code plays, but when I tell the player head to back up and enter the frame again, the clips play very rapidly, as though getTimer was not being initialized.
Here is the code:
stop();
square._alpha = 0;
[code].....
using flash remoting and amfphp
main.fla / main.swf
Code:
// ==============================
// SETUP
// ==============================
var rootId:Number = 0;
[code]....
My problem is the fact the class works, everything works inside of it EXCEPT the remoting. It wont even initialize or run the NetDebug and it's bugging me because I have no way to debug this because of it.I get NO output errors at all, so all the MX components are on the stage correctly and amfphp is set up perfectly fine ( this whole thing works fine if I use it inline rather than class ).

I'm working with a large flex applications and I have noticed that one of our largest components (with lots of child canvases) takes about 6 seconds between the initialize and creationComplete events. I've been doing some reading and have found that having lots of nested canvases can cause slowdowns, but i'm not sure if this is where the slowdowns would be?
View 3 RepliesI have an AIR app, which keeps its settings stored on the disk.Now, when the application starts, i need to read these values from the disk file and populate the variables in my ModelLocator. My doubt is where to put this code during the App Lifecycle. I have it currently on applicationComplete. Since i am not making any updates to the UI in this code, can i move this initialization code to the 'initialize' event and thereby speed up the startup time?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to figure out the basics of an flash action script project. I downloaded a plugin (from Brightcove). As far as I can tell, it only has 2elevantiles.ightcovePlayerAPI.swc - the brightcove player api which you can import into your projectCaptionPlugin.as - just a small script that's supposed to load a dfxp.xml file can't seem to get the function initialize() to fire in CaptionPlugin.as. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Thus:
Code:
function myFunction(){
this._alpha = 0;

this.attachMovie("new","new_mc",1,{myFunction});
I know that I could put _alpha:0 into the INIT value (But in reality I have something a little more complicated up my sleeve)
i created a game with 2 frames:1 is the welcome screen + player name input text box.the other is the game itself.at first the game didn't have the welcome screen, and if i wanted to play (with the arrows keys) there was no problem to press one of the arrows and make the player move..since i added the first frame, in order to play i must click somewhere on the stage and only then i can press the arrows keys.. before clicking nothins happens! it happens only if i have more than 1 frame..it is important to mention that it happens in the flash player ( i didn't check what happens in web browsers..)

View 5 RepliesI have an applicon that needs to render about 100 flash graphs (as well as other DOM stuff) in a series of rows that vertically extend many times beyond the current visible window - in other words, the users have to scroll down see see all the different graphs.This application is also dynamic and when a user changes a value in the DOM (anywhere on the page) it will need to propagate that change to all the Flash graphs at the same time.So I setup all the externalInterface callbacks and was careful to not let any JS start going until the ever-so-important "flashIsReady" call and...it worked great until I tried to update() the existing swf's with new data.
Here was the behavior:- All the swfs load (initially) in both IE/Fox = good.- Updating swfs with new content works in Fox --ONLY IF-- I scrolled down to the bottom of the page, then back to the top -- BEFORE -- I triggered an update().So then I started tracing out each time a swf called the JS to say "flash is ready" and I realized, Firfox only renders swfs as they become visible. And To be honest - that's fine and actually, I am pretty sure that IE does this too. But the problem is that not only does Firefox not initialize the swf, Firefox doesn't even acknowledge the swf exists (expect for after onload) if it has not yet been visible.
