ActionScript 2.0 :: MyTextBox Always Displays 0 From Original Variable Value?
Jun 2, 2010
I'm trying to have a variable increment by a certain value every time certain radio buttons are clicked and then display that value in a dynamic text field. For ex:
var myNum:Number = 0;
submit_btn.onRelease = function () {
add values together[code]....
however, myTextBox always displays 0 from my original variable value. Why isnt it adding up the other values. So if I have both radio's selected it should show: 15.
The Code bellow is a simplified version of what I am trying to do. My actual code involves copying an item from one array to another (which I am able to do). Then displaying the contents of both arrays on the stage.
//blueCircle is a library object with proper linkage set up. var ball = new blueCircle(); ball.x=100;[code]....
When I run this code only 1 ball appears on the stage at (200,200).Is there another way to assign one value to another so that it will be duplicated rather then just adding a pointer to the original variable? if not is there a way to copy the instance of ball and add it to them memory location of another ball?I know that I could call:
var anotherBall= new blueCircle();
but this won't work for the application I am writing because the contents of the array I am trying to copy from are all different types of objects.
i can just split it into two lines, but i'd like to know for curiosity's sake, how or if i could do it in only one.[code]i'm basically trying to take an element from an array (which is a point), normalise it, and set another variable to the resulting value, without modifying the original array element.using the code above, i get a null value returned. what could i do differently to make it work as decribed, without splitting it over multiple lines. is that possible ?
I have been working on a Flash movie that loads variable data from an external XML file and dynamically displays the item names in a menu which may then be clicked to display other dynamically-loaded content that corresponds to the menu item that was clicked. I have now come to a standstill in the project as there is something I'd like to achieve but simply cannot work out how. This is my first attempt at working with XML in Flash and one of my early attempts at using variables. What I'm trying to achieve is; once the user has viewed the item's content, they can simply click "next" and "previous" buttons to display all of the content for the next or previous items in the XML document.
I know it probably sounds simple and I'm sure some of you could achieve this in 5 minutes (!) but I can't get my head around some of the coding. I assume previousSibling and nextSibling would come into play here as well as some sort of functions which access arrays of data for the previous and next items, but I'm just not sure how to correctly put these things to use. Rather than post my code and example images of the stage up here on the forums, I've created an html page here: [URL]
I've got a dynamic text field. It has text in it. I can trace "myTextBox.textWidth" and it returns 154. I'm publishing to Flash 6, but if I change to Flash 9, the trace returns 139. Any ideas why this is behaving inconsistently when changing publish settings? Any ideas how I can make this NOT happen?
I've hit a brick wall here. I have a Flash file that displays fine in IE. It also displays fine when ran as a SWF. However, in FireFox, it does not display my scroller. I developed the Scroller component dynamically... everything is drawn from scratch, no library movieClips, etc. I'm starting to think that could be the cause? I've tried many different things:

I've tried many different things: Changed the HTML code to bare bones embedding code.Recompiled in Flex.... same result!Tested on another computer... it worked fine! However, I tested on another computer with FireFox... same problem.
It's so weird.I seperated the Image Slide show component from the Scroller... the scroller had the same effect... didn't display in FF.Played around with WmodeChecked my code for addChild problems, visibilty, alpha properties... nothing out of the ordinary.Asked God.Drank some Gin.Took a break and came back to it.I've reseached Google and the most I could come up with is to compile using FP10. It is FP10. I'm using CS3 and FlashDevelop. When I right click on my Flash file, it does indeed display FP10. Same with Flex.
I created a flash file on my PC and exported it. When I view it online with my PC, it looks perfect...but when I look at it on a MAC, the font type is different than what it should be. I tryed different browsers on the MAC and it still displays the wrong font.
I've recently installed CS4, and I've just gotten around to using Flash. Unfortunately, there's a big problem. Only the background color displays while working on an .fla, no matter what you place on it. The .swf is fine, but it's not very useful without being able to see what you're doing. I've tried it with an existing CS4, CS3, and new files, and they all have a blank display. I haven't been able to find anything relevant to this, and it's really disconcerting to hit a dead end on the first try.
I've embedded an FLV file (created in Premiere Pro CS4) using Dreamweaver CS4 and I cannot get the actual video to show/play in any browser. If you right click where the video is located on the page, or highlight everything on the screen, you can see the defined outline of it, but nothing ever actually loads/shows. I uploaded all of the files that Dreamweaver created with its little FLV embed wizard, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm missing
My problem is when i make a preloader i allways seem to get this problem i dont know if it is what everyone elese gets but when i make a preloader and add my content to it i get these issues. the preloader only displays when it get to like 50% whats the deal with this??? it never ever seems to start from 0% then work its way to 100% it allways starts wrong ????? does anyone have a solution to this because it is really bugging me
I am in the midts of this application, and it seems as when i pass in an array into a class, and try to place the same object in a diffrent context on the stage. It remembers the settings of that object from the previous class, even though i assign it as a new instance. Talking about Loader
the array looks like this
_meta:Array = {category: loader_object};
My document class
_firstview = new FirstView(); _firstview.object = _meta[0].category; //This is placed through an access modifier _secondview = new SecondView(); _secondview.object = _meta[0].category;
[Code]....
The object from the first screen now disappears and it shows up on the second screen, but it should appear on both screens
I tried to copy the array and the object, instantiated new Loader object, but it is still giving me the same results
why there would be this glich, how can an object not be copied properly, if it is stored in private variables within the class
i am trying to add a uicomponent which contains an object of a custom class the extends UIcomponents and i want to display this uicomponent to canvas i have done no error compile or run time but it does not display the Uicomponent.
here is code;
var item:RecordRanderer = new RecordRanderer(); item.randerItem(child); item.x=20;
I need my SWF banners to display in an IFRAME, and after a set amount of time, they need to animate and end up behind another SWF on the page.
Currently JPGs and GIFs do this just fine, but when the IFRAME contains a SWF, it displays on top of the other SWF, not behind it.
I've already tried the following:
-setting z-index on the SWF and IFRAME -setting wmode=transparent
I know the obvious solution here is to use object/embed code in the div, but for reasons beyond my control and too annoying to discuss here, this isn't an option. The SWFs must be placed using an IFRAME. This makes setting WMODE impossible, and when the IFRAME contains a swf, the browser ignores z-index.
I have a problem with an xml photo gallery nothing special about the code just a simple xml loader routine, everything works fine on my local machine but testing on the server only displays some of the images?
how to code my button (i'm calling ImageChange_btn) in ActionScript 3 that once pressed will display an external SWF in a container (i'm calling ImageContainer1)?
I've seen other pieces of code but none seem to work for me properly.
I need to be able to collect data from an XML file such as images and text, and display them in a grid.I was thinking of using the DataGrid, but wanted to ask advice about it.I'm going to be storing movieclips in the grid.The easiest way to think of it is a shopping cart (I'm not building a shopping cart, but it's the best description I can think of).
I was thinking of storing nested movieclips, but I guess the other way to do this would be to take the image path and item details from the XML and simply place them into the grid?I think what I'm asking is, what would you suggest the best method for building a grid of images would be, and would you include the details for those images as something separate in the grid, or would you make a class which takes those details and itself is placed into a grid?
I have been working with the 3D Carousel template on the Flashmo site but instead of the description text, I would rather like to display images. Does anybody know how to do this.
what do you do when a loop "overwrites" itself and only displays the last value?
Code: for ( var j:Number = 0; j < xml_array.length; j++ ) { //Set state movie clips' parentMC and mainBroadcaster and onRelease functions this ["state" + j + "_mc"].mainBroadcaster = this.mainBroadcaster;
[code]....
here is the code snippet for the loop; I've used this before in a previous project and it didn't have this problem.
I need to call upon your services again. Here is an explanation of the problem:
I have a masterFile (master.swf) which loads in a game file (game.swf). The game file uses an external library of images by externally loading an swf containing these images (Images/Game Images.swf).
master.swf loads in game.swf using MovieClipLoader. It has its own preloader using the onLoadProgress() method.
game.swf loads the image file in using the same method and also has its own preloader (using onLoadProgress()).
Now I want to know if it is possible to combine the preloader so that it only displays once for the loading of the 2 external swf's. The file structure must remain the same however.[URL]..
I have tested the movie on ff (linux, mac, windows), ie, and safari.everything seemed to be fine. then one user tried to view it from his windows machine, and he had problems in both ff and ie.it was almost as if the flash movie was not transparent (the flash div overlays an html div.)and yes, i did set wmode to transparent.he is running xp, the newest flash, newest ff, and ie7. the other windows machines i've tested it on have the same.
Im working with two apps trying to combine them into one. i have a xml as3 app that displays pics with discription next and back button. Then i have a dynamic horizontal scroller nav that displays thumbs and scrolls based on mouse position this too works ecept loading the thumbs. What i want happen is to combine them in one app where the nav would float under the xml pics and once you click on a thumb from the nav it pushes it in the xml loader file..
Im getting stuck at loading the thumbs in the nav...the xml file already calls all the nessary thumbs i have them pushed in its own array this array is availble on root or main timeline...i need to point the the nav loader (which has its own timeline)to pull from that array.
I used cs4 to create the swf. I published with html output. I noticed I was running in quirks mode so to fix that I put a doctype statement befor the html tag. This is the doctype:[code]the swf still diplays at it's full width but only about the top 1/5'th of the output displays.
On the main timeline in frame 1 var slideshow:Slideshow = new Slideshow();if (Object(slideshow)){trace("yes");}when the movie runs the trace works.
I have MovieClip which is on the stage from frame 1 onward the MovieClip on stage is a button which displays a dropdown menu when clicked the menu consist of other MovieClips one of the menu item MC's is set to run if (Object(root.slideshow)){trace("yes");}when I click I get this message:1119: Access of possibly undefined property slideshow through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
