ActionScript 2.0 :: OnEnterFrame=null - OnEnterFrame=undefined & Delete OnEnterFrame
Mar 29, 2008onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete 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).

Feb 16, 2010I have a bunch of enemy ships in a container on the stage.I am moving the container around every second and I'm creating bullets that the enemy ship are firing.So I need to have the bullets get created on the stage where the enemy ship is located currently so I can have it y-- on an enter frame event.The Y coordiantes are accurate but for some reason the X coordinates get scaled across the screen. So the first enemy ship is only off by 10 pixels or so, but the 2nd ship, the bullet gets created about 50-60 pixels over to the right.Is there any reason why the Y would be right but the X isn't?[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: LocalToGlobal : How Does It Work
Dec 14, 2010I have a some objects of same class type prgramatically generated on the stage.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage is the code:
Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(parent.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);
A sample of the trace output is as follows..
(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0
Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its absolute location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.Bare in mind these object will be of any name on the stage and will be dynamically created so its not easy to just reference their mc names.

Flash :: Dynamic MC's Path With LocalToGlobal?
Sep 27, 2010I'm adding several instances of an MC (bread_mc) into a container MC (wall_mc). wall_mc has been added to a shop class and that is where i'm called the rest of my functions from. Also the wall_mc is scrolled left and right with mouseX & mouseY values. I've set up a function to add the bread_mc to the wall at different x/y positions.
[Code]...
I really don't even know if i'm using it right, But I think my problem lies in the fact that I need the currMC path to travel up the display list tree and get the global stage X/Y position. I'm not too sure how to implement a dynamic path with the localToGlobal method.
ActionScript 3.0 :: LocalToGlobal Not Getting Global Possition?
May 2, 2011i just cant make this function work. Using addChild player mc is added to stage, inside it theres a mc named ballCnt. I need to make that position global, but it keeps giving local coordinates. Heres the code line (the last one i tryed):
var point:Point = localToGlobal(new Point(player.ballCnt.x, player.ballCnt.y));
trace(point);
ActionScript 2.0 :: LocalToGlobal Point Wrong?
Oct 29, 2007I have a movie clip that is nested inside 2 other clips and want to get it's coordinates on the stage. I am using the localToGlobal method but it is returning the wrong values. Here is my code:[AS]
var myPoint = new Point(this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.x, this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.y);
var newPoint = this.skew_mc.grid_mc.dot_mc.localToGlobal(myP);
trace(newP);[/AS]
I've attached an fla with an example of this in. If anyone can point out where I'm going wrong .

Feb 19, 2011My problems keep piling up. I was trying to figure out where child objects X and Y positions are on stage and not locally. Therefore i use the "localToGlobal" function and I'm pretty sure i use it correctly? The thing is that some Y values are true but the X are just completely spaced out. I use a function to find all child objects on stage and this works great.
Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Bring 23 Boxes To The Front, Using LocalToGlobal?
Oct 13, 2011I got 23 boxes (box1, box2...) inside two movieclips (Circle.SizeableCircle). I need to bring all these to the front, using localToGlobal.This brings box1 to the front (or whatever it's called):

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash LocalToGlobal And GlobalToLocal - Get Value In Global Coordinates
Oct 27, 2010I have a small problem with usage localToGlobal and than back to local. I can get global coordinate of my nested mc in question alright. Than i check if this coordinate + value of my mc.width is more than my stage width. I get to this part with no problem. Than if value is bigger (so mc is not on the stage i mean if part is off the stage i change value so it is stage width - mc.width). So i get value in global coordinates that i need. But how do i apply this to my nested clip is my question? For reference here is my code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Simple LocalToGlobal - Indicate Its Actual Location On The Stage?
Dec 4, 2010Ive tried looking in a whole bunch of threads for a solution to this probably common issue but to no avail.I have a bunch of objects of same type on the stage which are generated through code.Inside these objects which are generally at x=300 on the stage.
Code:
this.x+=2.3;
trace(stage1.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x,this.y)), ", ", this.x , " ", this.y);
stage1 is the stage object I pass into my class.The trace output is as follows
(x=2.3, y=0) , 2.3 0
Now im expecting some values in there somewhere to indicate its actual location on the stage, ie, x=300.This isnt happening.Whats the correct syntax i should be using.
ActionScript 2.0 :: LocalToGlobal() - Put Four Empty Movie Clips On Each Of The Character's Base Corners?
Aug 17, 2004I'm working on an isometric-view prototype game, and I thought a good way to do the collision detection would be to put four empty movie clips on each of the character's base corners (it's a cube), convert those corner's _x and _y to the Stage, and go from there. Problem is, how to get it to work.My character is on the stage in an otherwise empty "clip" MovieClip. Here's what I have inside my character:
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
var point:Object = new Object();
point.rightX = right._x;[code]....
Whenever I trace any of these, it always traces the local coordinates. Otherwise, everything is fine.
AS2 :: Swf Breaking When Loaded Into AS3 Swf
Feb 5, 2010i am using is flash cs3. the as2 swf contains a tween code using mx transitions.when i remove this tween code and hard code it on the enterframe there seems to be no problem.afaik avm2 should fully supports the as2 and as1 code. so i am unable to understand why this disparity when coding a simple tween in as2 swf.i had made a post in the actionscript forums hoping to gain some light on the issue.URL...[code]
View 2 RepliesIDE :: Multiple Images Breaking Swf?
Mar 23, 2009what its meant to do: A casestudy, has a section for each client, showing a selection of work for each one. It starts at a random client/section each time it is loaded, and there is also a menu that allows you to go to a specific client/section if you want.
So what i've done is made a randomly generated var at frame 1, and then told it to gotoAndPlay different sections of my timeline
Code:
var myVar = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
if (myVar == 1) {
gotoAndPlay(5);
[Code]....
This is working fine, as is the menu. However, as soon as I add a new layer with 2 or more images, in any of the sections it stops working.
Stranger still, it seems to be if i use more than one of the same image type it wont work ie, 1 jpg, 1 gif, 1 png it still works, but if i have 2 jpgs or 2 gifs it will break.
I also tried making a movie clip to hold my images, but the same thing happens

Feb 5, 2011I am working on a project where I need to show a wooden board and have the user pick a place on the board and somewhat realistically (at least believable) simulate the board breaking and shattering at that point. The final product will need to run on a mobile platform so performance is an issue.I have already experimented a bit and have a movie clip board which is composed of predetermined pieces and I used a tween to move the pieces apart. The main problem is that the way the board breaks and where it breaks are predetermined

Jan 30, 2009If I want to break out of a function rather than a loop, it's suggested that I use the return; statement. But that doesn't work in the following code, I just want the trace statement to run once...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnterFrameHandler);
function EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("It worked, obviously.");
return;
}
So, this will trace the phrase over and over with no stopping point. Why doesn't return have an effect? Doesn't the first line only happen once... ?
