I have this code
[code]...
so, where is my code inside the function I have some variables which are global variables that I declared and I attempt to use outside of the function.Is this possible ? I ask the question cause I don't see that they work
I am writting an image gallery that loads one intial xml file named galleries.xml.From this point each xml node loads a XMl file for that gallery that holds all the images.The problem arises in the fact that to do this I need a onload function within an onload function.Onload functions dont accept parameters so I can pass down the variable that shows what loop the gallery loop is on as I need that in the function that holds the images.

my mc.enterfame works but this doesn't. I think it's because it's on load and for this to be implemented it has to be called after load so how do i use it? I tried to call it on the original but it didn't work.
Is there a way that I can run a function when it first loads, as if it wasn't inside of the function, but still be able to call that block of code as a function later on? For example if I did...
Code:
someFunction();
function someFunction():void{
//do this
}
It wouldn't work correctly.. I need it to do what is inside the function as if it wasn't in the function, which it loads, but also be able to call it again later on.
I am loading one xml file and onload (or onData) of this file I am calling another function but, this function is not getting called. What can be the issue? Can delegates be used here and how?
Here is the code for reference

//path for _global.bookXML is defined already.
_global.book_xml = new XML();
_global.book_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

load XML data (it parses automatically), parse through the XML tree and assign the values to an array of my choosing for access later in the movie. I can load the XML data, but the only time I can access the XML functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, or XML.getChildNodes(), is when I am within an XML. onLoad function.[code]Shouldn't I be able to call these XML function and properties from anywhere? not just within the XML.onLoad function? I look at other people's scripts and they do it, but I can't?I created a function that parses through the data and puts it into an array. And that works well if I say XMLdata.onLoad = my_array_funtion();But the problem is, if I do it that way I can't get the array out of the function. I can't return the value because the function is being called from an onLoad event and the return value of the function isn't assigned to a variable. So the array I create is worthless.And there is no way to call the function, and have the XML.functions, i.e. XML.firstChild, to work outside of an XML.onLoad event. Is there? Please tell me there is a way.I tried assigning the array to a global variable, but evidently you can't modify _globals within a function.Ultimately, I need this array because later in the script I use the data on the fly, and I want instant access to it.

Can I write onload function without using EventListener...? Iget boolean value from loader..?
View 1 RepliesI can't figure out why this doesn't work. I need to pass the text in the xml file to an object that needs to be created outside of the onload function so i need access to the data out side of that function. I've declared variables to store the data at the class level which i thought would give me access to the databelow is the code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I've been searching this problem for a while and have tried a number of solutions found on google but nothing has worked so far. I'm sure this is a common problem, but due to my lack of flash knowledge I can't logically work through it as I'm used to windows form development, it makes sense to me that the function could access the variables I have defined but they dissapear after the .onLoad event. Does anyone know the common solution to this problem? I want to be able to pass the xml details into the local variables so I can pass on the details into a dynamic text field when movies are hovered over etc
var myXML:XML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
var nav1Text:String;

I have 2 swf's:
Section.swf (to be loaded in main)
Main.swf
In section.swf, on the first frame I have this:
[AS]
onLoad = function(){
// start doing stuff
}[/AS]
When I run the section.swf on its own, the onload function works, and the "doing stuff" code runs. But when I load it into main, this onload (within the section.swf, above) does not run!
I would like to break a for-loop. It should be easy with "break;", but there is a slight complication to the code - the for-loop contains a function from within which I want to be able to break the loop. Here is a codesnippet:

So, somehow, I want to break the for-loop from within the onLoad-function. Is that possible with some other code (this ofcourse doesnt work)?
I'm trying to call a function with a onLoad function in a Class
XML_var.onLoad = function(success) {
anotherFunction();
}
So I'm trying to call a function from the onLoad method of my sound object and something is wrong with my scope.

However I have an upcoming project that's going to have a big image gallery, that is likely to change often, so I can see XML would be very useful for speed of editing/adding etc.
I'm a complete XML noob then, and I'm just doing a little test with some text, and I can't seem to access the Array outside the xml.onLoad function.
Here is the xml...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<writing>
<para>
[Code]....
Now in the above code, my dynamic text field named "desc" correctly displays "bloody hell, XML is a nause".
However, when the line in bold is placed outside the onLoad function, it returns undefined, and when traced, the description array returns nothing at all.
I need to access the array outside of this function.
How to access the sound duration outside the onload function....im trying to diaply the duartion of each song in the playlist by loading them one after the other...but am not able to access duartion of all the mp3 files....i want to knw if there is any way to access the sound duration outside the sound.onload function.
View 3 RepliesCode:
onLoad=function() {
my_text=new LoadVars()
my_text.load("C:\Documents and Settings\Wrkspace\Desktop\flash_wordlist.txt");
my_wordlist="";
} my_text.onLoad=function(success) {
if(success) {
my_wordlist=(this.var_wordlist).split(" ");
trace(my_wordlist)
}}
The trace doesn't showup at all....by the way, this is in the first frame of the timeline, and i am trying to load a wordlist and then use the words in my program separately. Is it because flash loads the text file slowly? I am using flash 8, AS2.
I'm building a streaming mp3 player. So that you can load a mp3 from all over the internet in a streaming way, but soon It became obvious that when I set the loadSound to true (used to stream sounds) that sometimes the mp3 begins to stop and load and then play again. A sort of short stops. So I thought let's place a buffer so that when the song is loaded half way it's starts playing and gone are the short stops. But that's where my problem started and some questions arised. I use the onload method to check if any sounds are loaded into the sound object. I used this sentense to handle the onload action:[code]But now that I'm not exactly streaming anymore, so I have set the loadSound to false. Now I wonder if the onID3 method I used for getting some specific information out of the mp3 also acts like a none streaming file stream?Also something is wrong with my check if the loading process is half way.I have some songs on my pc and one on the internet. The songs on my pc load very well. (offcourse ) But they don't get into my if statement. And the song loaded from an internet adress doesn't even get into the onload function

i need to plot a graph and have no idea how to even kick start. These is what how dynamic the graph is: Basically is letting user trace the point(the correct X and Y coordination) on the graph and allow them to plot the graph. For example, when the user click on the correct coordination, a dot will appear and when the user click on the 2nd coordination, a line will appear to connect the first point to the 2nd one and etc. The last fucntion of this graph is to have a clear button that allow the user to clear the last plot attempt and so forth so that the user can continue to plot the graph.
View 2 RepliesI had been using Flash CS5 as a trial for the past 6 days without issues. Yesterday, I made a change to a file, and went to preview it, as I had several times before. This time, when I slected preview movie, Flash crashed umexpectedly. When I launched it again, it came up looking very corrupted - window as messed up, and any an all attempts to load any of the workspaces resulted in Flash crashes. I had to completely uninstall it including all prefs to get it to work again. I am hesitant to try a preview movie again.

View 1 RepliesI got an mc (named "img") on the stage. In order to zoom it, I'm using the following code:
Code:
myZoom = function (myDepth){
if (myDepth == "deep") {
myDepth = 4;
} else if (myDepth == "medium") {
myDepth = 8;

Problem is, when I release on the mc it changes its original position to X=0,0 Y=0,0 as you can see here. Obviously, I want it to keep its starting position on the stage and zooming in and out from there.
I am building a portfolio website in which I have a main page and there are links (movieclips) on this main page. When these movieclips are clicked, I use "loadMovie" to load the respective subpages in .swf. I have an "onLoad" function in the subpages but the script within the "onLoad" function never got processed. (The "onLoad" function is used to resize images depending on browser size) However, I have other "onMouseMove", "onResize" functions, and they work fine. In fact, the "onResize" function has basically the same code within as the "onLoad" function, and they got processed just fine.

View 4 Repliesthis is an attempt at a visual graph to show the download speed of swf. Its only as large as it is because i threw in heaps of images to bulk it up for testing purposes. Though it looked kinda neat The only problem its causeing at the moment is it eventually slows down no matter what, cacheToBitmap dosent seem to make a difference. Its not array based either, i discoverd very quickly how large arrays devour all life.
