Can I make function calls from within the onMotionFinished scope? See example belowe. Also tried by using the Delegate class...
var a_handler:Object = new Tween(params);
a_handler.onMotionFinished = function(){
test();
}
var test:Function = function():Void {
trace("hello");
}
My problem is my redrawMenu() function is not being called when onMotionFinished() is called.

I add this actionscript code on the first frame. Variables are loaded but. The question is below the code.
[Code]...
Here is the script:
Code:
function delay(pFunc:Function):Void {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
pFunc(param);[code]....
It's stripped down to reproduce my issue.I want to change the scope of the event, so that when test is called, it traces "_level0 instead of "[object Object". I was thinking Delegate.create() would be the way to go, but I can't figure out how to get that to work within the scope of this function.
I'm having a problem calling a function from a different level.I have my main movie 'Mymovie.swf' in which I add a level(with loadMovie) with this code:
loadMovie("MyNewMovie.swf", "_level1");
On a button in MyNewMovie.swf, I try to call a function in 'Mymovie.swf', by doing:
on(release){
_root.MyFunction();
// or even: _level0.MyFunction();
}
I have a Debug class I've written, and I'd like to include a static trace() method in there, unfortunately I have no idea how to then access global / top level trace as effectively I've blocked it with the local static scope.[code]
View 4 RepliesI have the standard dragWindow function in an app I am building:
private function dragWindow(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
stage.nativeWindow.startMove();
}
I want to limit the "scope" of this function such that it is not enabled within specified components, e.g. datagrids, scrollable lists, etc.

Specifies the value of thisObject to be used within any function that ActionScript calls. This method also specifies the parameters to be passed to any called function. Because apply() is a method of the Function class, it is also a method of every Function object in ActionScript. i don't get how "thisObject" is accessible from within the function invoked with it's apply method i'm trying to pass the scope of one class to the function of another so that the keyword "this" in the target function refers to the passed scope or am i misunderstanding the apply() method? it appears to behave differently between as2.0 and as3.0 as well, try this example code from the adobe docs

View 2 Repliesim using a function that iterates through all nodes in an XML tree, and then calls itself again if any of the nodes it is looking at has a set of child nodes, so in other words it multi-dimensionally loops through the entire XML tree.[code]one question i have is - am i correct in my assumption that while variables declared within a function are not accessible anywhere but within that function, if a function calls itself, any loops within that function that use a variable such as "i" will be affected seeing as "i" is accessible within the function?if so, how do i get around that? currently my function loops through all the way down to last child node it can find along the first branch of the XML tree, but then doesnt continue looping through the other branches.

I'm having some big issues with the scoping problems in my XMLConnect Class. I already found some things about the Delegate class online for setting the scope correctly, but my code still doesn't work the way it should Problem I need the XML data to be accesible in the public function Strip() because the user needs to put in some characters to strip from the strings in the xml file. Does someone known how to fix this scoping problems?

Calling jQuery Function from Flash
if we have a jQuery plugin of the following style[code]...
Could anyone point me in the right direction for how this call can be made directly or clarify if it's just not a supported operation?
I have this button:
<s:Button includeIn="MeniuPrincipal" label="Descarcare Date" click="downloadLmData(event)"/>
And this click event handler:
protected function downloadLmData(event:MouseEvent):void {
downloadData('competenta', 'competente');
downloadData('localitate', 'localitati');
}
The downloadData function looks like this:
private function downloadData(item:String, items:String):void {
try {
var colVar:String = 'col' + cappitalize(items);
this.status = "Descarcare date in curs...";
this[colVar] = null;
[Code].....
The problem is, all calls are ignored, except for the first one. Is there any "queuing" mechanism which would allow all calls to be made?
I have a gallery, which has a document class and all classes below.When I load gallery.swf into main timeline currently, how do I call some functions in that document class?
View 9 RepliesI have several custom functions that I import as .as files, but I frequently have to modify them to suit projects, which makes standardization and version tracking harder.Is there a way to pass arbitrary expressions to a function when it's called? For example, if I write the function,
Code:
function foo(){
for(i=1; i<=1; i++){
trace(i);
}
}
would there be some way to attach an additional expression after the trace function during the function call? As in,
Code:
foo(do_stuff_here);
where the function would act as if it had said,
Code:
function foo(){
for(i=1; i<=1; i++){
trace(i);
[code]....
but without modifying the original function?I realize I could add an expression to the original function within a conditional, and toggle it via an argument within the call, but since I don't know what I'll add next, or whether I'll need it next time, this would become impractical quickly.
Is there a method to see which event called a function and do something different based on that specific event?[code]...
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to call an function in flash from xml. so I used <a> tag and asfunction. But how come when it calls a built-in function in flash, it works. and when it calls a custom function, it just won't work???
function customFunc(a){
trace("here")

these are in my xml file:
<a href="asfunction:trace,here">Click</a>

If I create a function which calls someLoader.loadClip(...) many different times for different clips and files that I have created, does the system create a seperate thread for each call or does it load one by one ?
View 1 RepliesI'm making a function to be called by different buttons, and I want the function also alter the appearance of the button itself. But I don't know how to refer to the button from within the generic function.
[Code]....
I have some code that calls multiple functions for a single movie clip during a single event. For example:
portfolioButton.onPress = function()
{
redClip.easeX(180, speed);
redClip.easeHeight(194, speed);
}
The problem is only the first function call works (redClip.easeX(180, speed)). Is there a way for both function calls to execute?
At work we have a lot of AS3 code that conditionally performs logging or assertions like so:

Is there any way to do something similar in AS3, or do we have to do the conditional compilation blocks around everything? I have been looking around manuals but have found nothing useful yet.
I'm implementing AMF service methods for an flash front-end. Normally things work fine, but we've found that if two methods are called one right after the other, the second call returns null to the flash front-end even though the method actually completes successfully on the PHP end (to verify this, I dump the return data to a file right before I return it).
View 3 RepliesI have a button in an AS 2.0 fla that calls a javascript function like an anchor so the html goes to a set y position of 750button actions are in a frame

///getURL("javascript:scrollPageY();")
getURL("javascript: scrolling()")

I am developing a game project, in which I have many functions on it. I have all the major functions on the frame 50. And I don't want these functions on the next frame. Indeed I didn't have these functions on the 51st frame, the 51st frame only contains a stop action. But flash calls all the major function on the 51st frame also, I don't want these function to call on the 51st frame. Is there any way to stop this? Or else my program contains error?
Here is the program...
= The 50th Frame =
stop();
fscommand("allowscale",false);
fscommand("fullscreen",false);
var die:Boolean = false;
var currGun:String="hd_gun";

I do not want to use external .as files because I will have about 100 swfs to manage in this project, 100 swf is a lot of file management alone without adding 100 .as files on top of it.This is the code in the parent swf file to call the child swf and place it in the page_mc movieclip (note in my final project "child.swf" is replaced with the loading array variable but we're going to keep it simple):
ActionScript Code:
var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
page_mc.addChild(pageLoader);
var loadedpage:URLRequest=new URLRequest("child.swf");
pageLoader.load(loadedpage);
Now just for a simple function to call, we'll say we have a box_mc on the stage in the child swf, and when we click the button in the parent swf I want to call a simple function like this to hide it:
ActionScript Code:
function hideBox(event:Event):void {
box_mc.visible=false;
}
how do I call that function in the child swf from a button in the parent swf?
I have 4 invisible buttons that all do basically the same thing. I am learning how to consolidate my code using functions and I'm stuck on this one. I am using onRollover, on Rollout and onReleases in a frame actionscript. The code is below for 2 of the buttons.
mission_btn.onRollOver =function(){
mission_mc.gotoAndPlay("on");
}
[Code]....
change these events into a function? or should I just continue with this method for the other buttons?
I have a swf file in which when a button is clicked it calls a function in a javascript file using ExternalInterface.call
Now everything works fine if all files are in one folder.
but now If a place the swf file in this location /assets/swf/test.swf and the java script file in this location /assets/scripts/test.js
