i am experimenting with basics of AS3.0 drawing api, and experiencing issue when nothing is displayed on the stage once program is executed.i used this code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
public class DisplayList extends MovieClip {
[code]....
changed the class name when creating class accordingly - but the output is the same: empty stage.
I started making my first complex game and ran into a problem that made me just stop everything I was doing and I have laid the project to rest until I can find out how to fix it.The problem is simple. I have a timer in a public class. The timer is private, but the function to start the timer is public. Only one class calls it. But as soon as the program starts, the timer function executes.Now that aside, why are some public functions being called at the time of the program being executed? The class that executes the function isn't even called until later/instantiated.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to build a Flash-based controller application to go on the web interface for the rack-mounted units which my current employer builds. The interface is defined in an XML file which is parsed and processed when the Flash application is started.
I've created some library symbols which act as various controls - sliders, toggle buttons, etc. I can add these fine to the stage. What I would like to do is group them together in a container of some sort so that I can show and hide them en masse without having to loop through all the controls. All library symbols I'm using are linked to ActionScript classes.
If I use a symbol I created earlier and added to the library as this container, everything works fine and the controls display correctly on the stage.
However, if I dynamically create a MovieClip and use that as the container, it never appears on the stage. The code is identical in both cases except for the class names being used. I am calling addChild() on the MovieClip instance to add the controls to the MovieClip, and then call addChild on the document class to add the MovieClip to the stage. As I mentioned above, this all works perfectly if I use a pre-created symbol from the library as the container.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a programme that will count each second that has elapsed from one key press to another, in the output panel I get all the times this has happened (each second) but would like the total number displayed in a text box on the stage at the end. This will be the total delay between key presses.
View 7 Replies1) In my program, I am wanting to create a function that would take in the height and width of a loader object, compare them to the stage dimensions, and then scale the object in question before it is added to the display list. However, I have several different types of classes that I want to make use of this functionality. So what would be better, to create a NEW class that would have to be created each time a resize needed to occur, and is imported by all needed classes, or just have a function within each already existing object and copy that function to every class's scope that needs it? Would this be resolved by placing the function in question inside of the default package?
2) When accessing stage properties, are they a global or a relative scope? i.e.[code]would those two statements produce the same value regardless of whether they were in the default package or inside of 1300 classes? Or is the stage scope relative to some degree?
Im trying to add an exit button onto my program so when its clicked it exits the program completely.. I've tried some of the suggestions on the forums but they arnt working. what I have been using and its not working..

function goExit(evt:MouseEvent) {
fscommand("quit");

I have students whose flash file works until it is saved. For instance, they create a untitled.fla file, press ctrl + enter and the swf file plays perfectly. At the end of class they save it, the next day they open it, and none of the AS is executed. The swf file plays as if no AS was ever written.
To make things even more puzzling, the file will play from different drives. For instance, if the .fla file is saved to a thumb drive, everything works. If the file is placed on the desktop everything works. If the same file is placed in a different students directory, everything works. I've contacted Adobe support, they directed me to read their (worthless) forums. I have recontacted their support trying to find some real assistance.
Was testing out my movie and using the simulate download option. Bored while waiting I started to resize the movie. Then I got an error about over 256 levels of recursion. Intrigued I tried to simulate the error again. I realized that it would only happen when I resized the movie a bunch while it was doing simulate download. Sometimes I would also get an error "A with action canceled because object didn't exist".
Digging through the code I couldn't figure it out. On the first frame of my movie all I had was a setInterval that changes the loadbar display to show how much is loading. It also tells it to stop(). Once loaded it tells it to gotoAndPlay(5). Frame 5 is where all of my other code is at. This error was happening at Frame 1? Then I remembered I had used "with" in some code to realign stuff on resize. Like:
[Code]....
As soon as I commented out the stagelistener stuff the error stopped. The stage code is on frame 5. It should not start running until the movie has loaded as frame 1 stops the movie until it is loaded. It is running BEFORE the movie is loaded though because I get the "with action" error and the 256 levels of recursion error. If I put a trace in the listener function it doesn't trace back until it is at frame 5, but for some reason part of it still runs. Anyway, sorry for the long explain...just a strange, strange error. Now I don't know what to do about it. I want the stage listener, but I definitely don't want an endless loop or other errors occurring.
I wonder if there is any way to view the Actionscript that is exectued when executing a fla file. Or maybe a tool that would allow me to generate Actionscript through a graphical interface.For example, I create a Flash File and draw a circle.
View 1 RepliesWhen, in ActionScript, an event is dispatched:
foo.addEventListener("some event", someHandler);
foo.dispatchEvent(new Event("some event"));
At what point are the event handlers executed?
I ask because I caught this at the end of an Adobe developer guide:
Notice that some properties are assigned to the [AsyncToken] after the call to the remote service is made. In a multi-threaded language, there would be a race condition where the result comes back before the token is assigned. This situation is not a problem in ActionScript because the remote call cannot be initiated until the currently executing code finishes.
But I could not find any information on what they meant by "currently executing code".

I am developing a small game in flash and decided to use AS3 for it! Now the problem that has happened to me is that the condition within an if statement is executed!!!
Here is my code:
ActionScript Code:
if (y > 850 && splodeCount == 0)
{
play('Sploding');
splodeCount++;
}
Now instead of trying if the conditions (y > 850 && splodeCount == 0) are true it simply follows them as if they were orders. For example it places the object at y 850 and makes the splodeCount 0!
I use flash MX 2004, and I've been facing a problem. I made this flash program to load a jpeg, and to resize and display it.. But the problem is, it works, but not in a stream I mean My program work in 4 phases::
1. Load the jpeg
2. Check and compare the image's height and width with the given parameters
3. resize the image... 3.1.. First height... 3.2.. Then width
4. Display the resized image
The problem I am having is, it does phase 1, then does nothing... I experimented with it a bit, and then i found... Let it do the phase 1, then goto another frame, then back to previous frame... It does step 2.. Do same thing again for other phases... Its sort of like I am refreshing my frame again and again to make my code work in bits and pieces.

Let's say I have some code like this in AS3.[code]The constructor for Thing is going to cause a swf to be rendered onto some movieclip.If the loop is run 10 times or so, most of the time I will only end up with a subset of Things showing up on the clip. I'm guessing this is a problem that flash is having loading a bunch of Things at the same time.I've been able to solve this problem by passing callbacks to the Thing constructor, and only continuing the loop once the previous Thing is completely loaded and calls back.First of all, is this a known problem? Or am I going about this in the wrong way? Secondly, is there any way I can tell flash/as to run this code in a linear fashion without the callbacks? It gets kind of annoying doing this everywhere.So I think richardolsson is right, we must be doing something wrong. To restate the problem, if I try to load multiple swfs onto the stage, even as few as two or three, without waiting for the previous one to finish loading, I will get an unpredictalbe number loaded. For example, running the loop above 10 times, I may end up getting the 2nd, 5th and 10th Things loaded. The others seemingly getting lost in asynchronousity. Flash shows no runtime errors in these situations. So here's the basic idea of how we are doing things.[code]This is the basic scheme. If I try to create a bunch of instances of 'child' WITHOUT waiting for the onLoaded function to finish on the previous 'child', random instances simply won't show up. I wrote the above code very quickly, it is not compy/paste, so ignore simple errors. Are there any glaring reasons why the above method does not work?

I've got a very simple movie clip that is supposed to load an external .swf into an empty clip that gets created when you click on one of the clip instances on the stage.
[Code]....
The empty movie clip gets created (I assume), and the .swf gets loaded in, but when you click anywhere on the stage, this code gets executed, basically loading the .swf back in. It's only supposed to execute when you click on "about_mc" . What am I missing, besides a brain?
