I'm working on a simple game where the object is to hit as many keys as possible in a given time and then be given a score.
I have used the following code:
[code]...
However, when the time runs out and you're taken to the screen where your score is displayed, the actionscript continues running and you still gain points by hitting the keys.I've tried using a boolean, but it did not do anything.
whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)and (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT){
trace("both pressed");
i am trying to write the syntax to detect left and right cursor keys .pressed down at same time.
1) My game is playing differently when i am debugging it & when am i testing the movie(ctrl+Enter), the difference is that in testing movie the keyboard keys(i hv called the keyboard event key up & key down ) are not working first time, when player loses the game fiirst time,key start to work properly
2) It is working slowly, when i loaded its compiled swf with another swf but working fine when played individually, i hv specified the different stage.framerate for both swf in their corresponding class.
If I have an array, I can set the keys by doing the following:
var example:Array = new Array();
example[20] = "500,45";
example[324] = "432,23";
If I want to do something with Objects, how would I achieve this?I tried the following:
var example:Object = [{x:500, y:45}, {x:432, y:23}]; // Works but keys are 0 and 1
var example:Object = [20: {x:500, y:45}, 324: {x:432, y:23}]; // Compile errors
var example:Object = [20]: {x:500, y:45}, [324]: {x:432, y:23}; // Compile errors
var example:Object = [20] {x:500, y:45}, [324] {x:432, y:23}; // Compile errors
I understand I could do this:
var example:Object = {id20 : {x:500, y:45}, id324: {x:432, y:23} };
But it doesn't suit me.

But how can i get keys at the same time as in php so that i now that key1 is referencing val1
so first off, this is AS 2.0. Second, i have a little character from a tutorial on how to move an object around with the arrow keys. The character faces on way on "up" another on "down" and so forth. There are 4 frames for it facing up, down, left, and right so that on the key presses it faces the proper direction and moves accordingly. I also want this little guy to move behind objects. When this happens, i want the object that the little guy is behind to be partially transparent so that you can still see him and he doesnt just vanish.
[Code]...
In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.(I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file.

The clip has an instance name of red_mc. It doesn't work though? Also, if I want to have a yellow instance to work off "j" and "k" keys, do I just copy and paste the code above?
I'm experiencing a strange behaviour in a for-in loop, has someone ever seen this before? >> I have an Object-variable _files, which contains 3 seperate class instances of the wsaxSingleFileUploader class (which, as you can imagine, is a class to upload files ) My code for removing these instances:
[Code].....
So, in the first line of code, it traces all keys within the object. Then in a similar loop, it triggers all the remove() functions of the instances, and then sets the instance to null. Strangely, as you can see in bold in the trace-results below, it tries pdf_hl twice? Does anybody have any clue why that is? The problem occurs in FireFox with Firebug/Flashbug and the Flash 10.2 debugger plugin.

I have a MC that can be moved around with the arrow keys. When a person presses the left key I want the object to face left and perform an animation for as long as the left key is pressed. When the left key is released I want the animation to go back to it's starting frame but the MC should still be facing left. I want the same thing for the other arrow keys, but the animations will be different for each direction (for example: walk right, walk left, walk away from you, walk towards you).

I am using grails to render the data as JSON for a flex application using an Advanced Datagrid and need a tree like structure, as if you were browsing files on your desktop.
I've got a php backend which delivers a time (e.g. '07:00:00'). This time is recognized as a string but I need it as a Date. So what I need is: Convert a string '07:00:00' to a Flex Date object. Is there a way to do this (without using regular expressions)?

The stage is separated into 4 sections, and I will be moving the camera around the stage. So at each particular section the camera will have an area of constrain it can move. I mange to constrain its X & Y, but it could only navigate either X or Y. How to move in X+Y at the same time?
if (mouseX>sec2maxX) {
TweenLite.to(vC, 1, {x:sec2maxX});
} else if (mouseX<sec2minX) {
[Code].....
if i were to put X & Y in a same line of code it would be a lot of possibilities when the mouse is on top left or right bottom kind of situation, so I need to have it running seperately, but how can I combine it so that it could move X+Y?
I'm using AS3. I have a timeline with 12 labeled frames (page 1...page12). On frames 1 to 10, I have 3 objects that users can drag and drop onto matching places. There is a timer (60 seconds) and a counter. Users should match 15 objects correctly. If so, they go to frame 12 (congratulations!). If not, they go to frame 11 (Sorry, try again), which returns them to frame 1 (page 1).
ISSUE When users drag an object (mouseDown) and don't release it when time is over, the dragged object remains on the screen. When users go to frame 11 and game starts over, the object remains throughout the entire game.
How can I get rid of the dragged object that isn't dropped when the time is over?

//
// TIMER
var time1:int=60;
var myTimer1:Timer = new Timer(1000, time1);

I need to scale and move a object at the same time.
Like in this example but with actionscript instead of motion tweening.
Maybe I'm blind (or just dumb) but I've been searching through the API trying to find out how to get the time elapsed for a Timer object. I want to, at any given time, find out EXACTLY how much time(in milliseconds) has passed since a Timer Object has been started.
View 3 RepliesAny good argument as to why I shouldn't use a Dictionary over an Object every single time? I can't think of any case an Object can do the job a Dictionary can't, and it doesn't seem as the Dictionary creates that much more overhead.

I have a flash movie on my index page but as the user navigates through the site and then goes back to the home page, I don't want the intro to replay. I have fixed that using shared object so that if it has already played, it skips to the end of the animation...here is my code:
function VisitCheck() {
var myLocalSO = sharedobject.getLocal("visitRecord");
if (myLocalSO.data.visited == null) {
myLocalSO.data.visited = 1;
gotoAndPlay(3);
trace("visit 1");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(2);
trace("visit2");
}}
VisitCheck();
Works great, except now, the intro animation on the index page NEVER plays again; I would rather have the cookie expire after the user closes the window or a certain amount of time has passed (say 30 minutes).
For e.g.
function showIt():void {
something.visible = true;
}
function init():void {
[Code]...
In the above code, I want to measure the time taken to display st on screen.Is it enough to compute time2 - time1? Or should I put an event handler on render? Or some other way?
