I want to duplicate an MC every 5th second, so I came up with this code:
Code:
i = 100;
p = 0;
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
[Code].....
I know this doesn't work, because onClipEvent only works on buttons or MCs. So the question is: is there an onTimelineEvent or something that'd work on the timeline?
I'm using the code contains onClipEvent(load) and onClipEvent(enterFrame) and duplicateMovieClip() to make the snowing effect in the 2 first movie-clips but then, i cannot stop them in the next movie-clips. (All of my movie-clips in 1 scene only.)
View 1 RepliesI have two movieclips that determine their frame number by a variable. The problem I'm having, though, is that the frame doesn't change when the variable changes. The original variables are determined in the main timeline (_root.item_slot1= 0;).The following code is contained in the item_slot1 movieClip:[code]So it starts off in frame 1. If I change the original variable to 1, then it will go to frame 2. However, the frame doesn't change when the variable changes, and I have a text box that shows the value of the variable, and it changes to 1 exactly when it's supposed to.I can't zip files, but I have the .fla at URL... if you can get it to download from there.

I'll just come right out and admit it, I'm a noob. I am making a website with a bunch of buttons on a menu bar. When you mouse over a button, a submenu of other buttons pops out of it. I use this code.
[Code]...
The parent buttons are movie clips, and the sub-buttons are on later frames.My question is this: how can I delay it so that you have to hold the mouse over the button for a second before the button's playhead goes to its next frame?
Ideally, I'd like to have the playhead go to the second frame immediately, to change the color of the button on mouseover, and then have a delay before frame 3, when the sub-buttons start to appear.
Ok. I have two MCs. One a red ball, another a blue. On the red ball, (ball_mc) I have keyboard movement with the arrow keys. I also have the fallowing code on it:
if(this.hitTest(_root.ball2_mc)){
play();
if(ball_mc._currentframe == 6){

I wasn't sure how to name this thread to well. Here's my funk: I have made a photo slide show and all works well for browsing and viewing. Where I got stuck was when I tried to write code that would center images that were vertical. This is the entire code on the empty mc that has it preload, display then adjust the x of the image. Now, with this code if the image is vertical it flies off the right of the page. haha. sounds fun eh?

i had four "widgets" on the screen that i had following around another "master" movieclip but repelling from oneanother...initially i used this code in each clips timeline:onClipEvent (enterFrame) { and then set their new _x and _y depending ont he position of the master and other widgets.this worked fine... however i wanted to dynamically generate the widgets so i could have as many onscreen as were present in an array on my main timeline.i have been able to generate the clips fine, but i cannot use [onClipEvent (enterFrame) {] on them as they are in the main timeline! if i set up a "cheating loop" and run it through 200 times updating the widgets movement and they move to their correct position..
View 2 RepliesI have a whole bunch of onClipEvent(enterFrame){} events going on. Would taking all that code and putting it into just one mc's onClipEvent(enterFrame){} function lower cpu usage? What is a good way to have enterFrame functions die if not needed?
I have 5 nav buttons. The first two have sub sections. (1st one has 2 elements, 2nd one has 4 elements). The way I set it up, each of these buttons checks on the _y position of the button below it. I then use a move function with inertia to move the bottom button, and all buttons on top of move along with a springy feel. Also, when these move, I show the 2nd frame of each of the buttons in the corresponding section, for it shows the text of each button. This is the way I am doing it right now (By setting everything in one enter frame function it seems to run a lot smoother than when each element had its own enterframe function for just one line of code):
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_parent.link1_1._y = _parent.link1_2._y-20;[code]....
I am using the following code to load my flash file, contact a php script and decide what frame to play based on the results. THat is all working fine, the problem is that when the animation starts from Frame 2 - gotoAndPlay(2) - it seems to repeat a few frames over and over until the whole animation is complete.
I have done some reading up and the enterFrame is called many times so I can understand why the problem is there but I don't know how to resolve it. The interesting thing is, when I just use gotoAndPlay(2) in the if loaded section, it all works fine. It's only when it's in the onLoad for the loadVars that causes it to break. Using: Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2.0

I have this code on my MC. I just want to know if what i'm getting is correct. I have this to get the date, day, month, year...you know the drill, but i can only get the complete date to display if I use onClipEvent(load). (enterFrame) won't work, and i just wanted to make sure there was a reason behind it. Is it because I'm using arrays? check out the code. I do not want to majorly change the code if it can be avoided...

how do you call an onClipEvent(enterframe) of a movieclip to happen when that movieclip is pressed?
[Code]...
when i type this in i get an error because on events cannot be nested within other on events. how can you get around this?
i remember there is a actionscript tat u can set on the timeline instead on the movieclip itself - onClipEvent(enterFrame){} what the code for it for the timeline.

I created an full flash template website loading external swf.Lately, I managed to add a fake3D rotation with AS3 and CS4 to this global template with an enterFrame.some of my external swf use a vertical scroller also using an enterframe function base on the x / y position of the mouse, the scroller dont work anymore.Can't an enterframe swf loads another swf with enterframe function?

I am working on an eLearning course whereas client requied the course to be keyboard accessible. He wants all the shortcuts with Alt key combination.I can trap the Alt key with the use of enterframe but that makes my course processing heavy so I tried to trap Alt key with keylistener event but unfortunately keylistener event doesn't listen Alt key .how to trap Alt key without using enterframe or interval?
View 1 RepliesI coludnt stop the function after n=>5 . I tried removeeventlistener. it didnt work. the code is giving error each time it enters a new frame.[code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a function that running on ENTER_FRAME inside another function that is called once on COMPLETE. I need to stop that ENTER_FRAME later on in the timeline. Here's the basic code:
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, startListener);
function startListener(e:Event):void
{
var mySprite = new Sprite();
[Code]....
So you see when myLoader is COMPLETE it creates mySprite that is an ENTER_FRAME and continues to run the function playerBarPos. The function playerBarPos then traces over and over again "this keeps going and going". How do I later in the timeline stop this?
If I have added Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners to different components, how can I set or know the ordering of when these events will be fired on each enterFrame?Instead of adding enterFrame listeners to individual elements, is it better practice to have one element which listens for enterFrame events, and has an array of elements needing updating on enterFrames, thereby making it easy to organize and change the firing order of these events?

My question is how do I get it to do the samething but in reverse after it is done?
I'm in the final stages of a project, and I am in trouble for not having bigger tests on lower end computers. It's a game, and frame rate may vary for low end computers on certain intensive parts. This creates a de-sync with the Timer class as it counts real seconds, unrelated to the fps.The frame rate is 30. Bugs start to occur on anything <20, specifics don't matter, but I should have expected that. And now I should fix that.
What would you suggest? I could write an enterframe timer class (counts frames, won't go desyncd). This means I'll have many enterframes events (opposing many Timers right now) - is this significant, cpu-wise? How is it in comparison?Btw this occurred to me as I tried the application on my N900, didn't really expect it to run properly but the device's a beast and it did. Everything worked, slowly but worked, except the fact things got out of sync.
i have an old-school background (C, assembler...).
First, if you're writing a simple game and have a state machine that is called every frame to handle attract mode, gameplay, game over states etc., does the AS/pseudocode code below basically make sense in the AS world? I've read a little of Jeff Fulton and others that talk about FSMs and function-reference state machines, but it would be good to get some comment from people here.
Second, if the initgame() function is part of the state machine, it has to complete within one frame, else will get called again before it's finished. But initgame functions can be lengthy - setting up graphics, initiating landscapes, maybe doing procedural generation, etc. By their nature they're called once as needed, not every frame, and are framerate-independent. But if they're part of the state machine, they're tied to the framerate. How to handle that basic dichotomy? How is it possible to perform the initgame() function outside the framerate-bound state machine, or else to guarantee that the enterFrame event won't trigger re-entrance?
Code:
public function Main():void {
public var state:int=1;
initprogram();[code].....
