ActionScript 2.0 :: Making A For Loop To OnEnterFrame?
Jan 24, 2005
im making an image gallery and have a for loop that plots the thumbnail grid. converting it to onEnterFrame so that the thumbnails are created one by one... heres my as:
In the main timeline I have this onEnterFrame function. I also have this movieclip and in it's own timeline stops at frame one. When this movieclip is rolled over it plays and then stops at frame 9. I'm trying to make an if statement in the onEnterFrame function that says when that one movieclip is on frame 9, delete the onEnterFrame function.
I tried to do this code, but so far all I have is if (movieclip._currentlabel = "framenine") { delete this.onEnterFrame; }
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).
I wish to have only one onEnterFrame loop for my whole movie (made of many mc and layers), how do I set up this onEnterFrame and get all the other functions to use it. At present im using about 5 or so onEnterFrame events within the movie.
I'm trying to work this out if anyone can help. I have a function:[code]....when I pause the movieclip set at 30fps the sec,min stop but the frame var keeps running in the onEnterFrame loop. Basically I am trying to count frame by frame in a movieclip, and every 30 frames the frame var will reset to zero.
i have this code that should get a face (eyes, shape, etc) in motion on Mouse Over. The thing is i dont know how to loop this onMouseOver code so it works like an onEnterFrame handler (while onMouseOver).Another way to put it: as long as the mouse stays over the Mclip i want the code to loop. How can i do this?Here is my code:
i got this perlinnoise called function and movieclip.filter = [displacementMapFilter] inside a onEnterFrame and it's eating me at 100 percent. are there any substitutions for making it much less processor intensive? I'd like to show a picture rippling and i'd like to use perlinNoise. Is there a way i can pre-calculate the perlin noise values and then loop through it in an OnEnterFrame
i'm very new to Flash (although have plenty of experience in Java, C++, PHP, etc). For a University assignment, I am creating a World Cup Guide and i'm creating a countdown to the tournament. I've followed a tutorial and modified it slightly but i'm receiving an error message. The error message is:
I have got this example of drag and throw its working fine..But i need to add some more feature what code should i add to make this in loop and besides that i want this slide to scroll through numbered buttons..like in this example [URL]
I'm loading XML, but I'm having trouble making a for loop so that I can output into text fields my xml info. I use this to load and put into the output window. Eventually I will put it into a text field. What I want really to do is for flash to output a list. This is what I want it to look like.
PHP Code: var newsXML:XML = new XML(); newsXML.ignoreWhite = true; var output:String = ""; newsXML.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) { var news:Array = newsXML.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes; [Code] .....
If you look at this XML you will see that there are many different Tournaments. What I want is to have them all in a list. I also want to have scrolling bar.
ActionScript Code: for(var i:int = 0; i<numBtn; i++) { var this['menuBtn'+i] = new Sprite(); }
This doesn't work, saying I need an identifier before 'this'.
What I am trying to do is to make a dynamic menu, and the number of buttons depend on how many files there are in a directory, as each button links to each file;I get this value (numBtn in my example) from a php script, and I need to make a menu depending on it, but I can't seem to make it so that when I add a new file into that directory, a new button comes up on the menu and I don't have to change my flash file.
The situation is like this:I have Five buttons named button1 to Button5.What I want is to make one button invisible.To to this I have a for 1 to 5 -loop and I want to make one button invisible if it meets certain criteria.Is this possible without make an if-line for each button or not??
It should work. It doesn't. Similarly does not work on buttons which are also too numerous to mention, so making them visible one at a time would be an untold hassle. I would love these five arrays to be bunched in a subarray but right now getting it to work, period, is job one.
I'm using MovieClipLoader to load in external swfs so that I don't need to include a preloader on each one. I'm really unfamiliar with this technique, including how to use and implement listeners and follow the functionality after using it, I've just been playing with borowed code.basically i've been trying to use this code:
Code: var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader(); loader.addListener(this);
posting after a long while, so i thought i'd actually follow the rules for posting,.. I am trying to get this waves thing done, here is the sketch [URL]I am trying to create those antenna waves as in making alpha go to 10% or so in a continuous loop....
For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."
I want to generate large text files, basically 4 columns, several thousand rows, of numbers. Making an array with all this info in it occurs farily quickly, it's getting it to a displayable format that takes a really long time. Right now I use something like this:
to know when different variabels are right. But I don�t want the check to be once every 2 second and not every frame. I could put the code in a looping mc but could I do that in a code?
I have a main.swf file and it will load an external swf file.I have this code in the external swf file:[code]So when the external swf file loaded in the main.swf, the color_picker is visible in the main.swf.Everything works just fine but I just need to know how to remove (Kill the onEnterFrame) when the external swf file has been unloaded or replaced with another external swf file?
I have a script with some onEnterFrame's.. my problem is that I can't evoke more than one of the functions in "onframe()".. after the first function "onframe1()" has ended nothing more happens.. if I switch the two functions ("onframe1()" and "onframe2()" arround or I escape the first the script still ends after the first function is done
function onframe(){ var i = 0; onEnterFrame = function() if(i == 10) onframe1(); if(i == 200) onframe2();//delete this.onEnterFrame; i++; }}
I'm trying to write some programs with kinect sdk in c# , I'm a flash developer and my skills are in actionscript , and I've written some simple projects with c# , the thing I wanna know is that is there a function like onEnterFrame in C# ? or something like tween functions in C#
Say I have 100 MC's (movie clips) in my scene that are spreading out in _x and _y. On every frame I need to check each of those MC's for a hitTest (or anything really). Would it be more programatically efficient to:A) Create a single array to hold all the MC's and do a for...loop to check all of themorB) When each MC is created create an onEnterFrame to check only itself (x100)?Hope this makes sense. This is an argument between me and my partner as to which will be the less processor intensive. My theory is that there would be no difference but I've read no documentation for it
my prblem is my mc cant stop after hiting the mc hoe to stop ms after hitingI used this code to stop this Mc and its work Butthe mc hit only one time 2nd time its doesn't touch the mouse
I have a set of movie clips that are attached to the stage every so often. The attached movie clips all move independently with their own class code. After I changed something in an unrelated class, my attached movie clips only run their onEnterFrame() code once, instead of once per frame. I called up the list of variables, and my movies (which are passed into an array) are all "undefined". I'm not really sure whats causing these movie clips to not run their code properly. This is the code for attaching them:
