Here is the code that doesn't work:
Code:
myInterval = setInverval(open(3), 1500);
function open(n) {
clearInterval(myInterval);
this["item"+n].play();
}
I have also tried calling a function from setInterval which in turn calls a function with a parameter...also didn't work!
I have a function gameTimerInterval() set to run every half second. Every x of those intervals (the value of x varies in this situation), it creates another interval that calls the function birdTimerInterval() every y of these new intervals. Basically, gameTimerInterval() determines when a new flock of birds will enter, and then birdTimerInterval() controls how each individual bird in the flock comes in (one at a time). The thing is, there can be multiple flocks coming on the stage at the same time, so birdTimerInterval() will need to receive a parameter so it knows which group of birds to control. The only way I could see achieving this is doing something like dynamically passing the name of the interval that's calling the function, as I don't know how I could use global variables or arrays to distinguish which flock should be moving.
View 4 Repliesis there anyway to pass the setInterval id number into the function you are wanting to run.
I want the function i run to run clearInterval when a certain test suceeds.
I'm having some trouble passing parameters with a function that is itself being passed as a parameter.In my application code I'm instancing that class five times:they are buttons in a menu.In that class, I've got an onRelease handler that does a number of things when a button is released, one of which is to invoke a function that is defined in the application level of the code.My problem is that I don't know how to send the function parameters.In my StandardButton class I have:
class StandardButton extends MovieClip
{
/* define properties */[code]..........
The function is successfully being "sent" to the StandardButton class, but without any parameters.How can I send parameters to the class instance with the way I've got this architected.
I have a hard time getting this
Code:
var whichXML:String = "category1";
loadFirstTime(whichXML);
function loadFirstTime(whichXML:String):void {
XMLLoader = new URLLoader();
XMLLoader.load(new URLRequest(whichXML + ".xml"));
}
I created a function to handle the size of a talk bubble for a chat application based on what's being loaded into the movie clip I want it to scale it's height that is. I have it working when like this
Code: Select allif (!gabChatBox.gabOp1.text == "") {
Tweener.addTween (gabChatBox.talkBubble,{height:200, time:1, transition:"easeOutElastic"});
}

I am assuming that I must pass some sort of parameter over to the other function that is calling the resizeGabHandler()
I am attempting to get Flash - Javascript communication working using ExternalInterface.addCallback, using code found at http:[url].... I am trying to pass parameters into Flash using a javascript function, but it only works if I insert a 'window.alert' line into the code. Once I click OK, the parameter str is passed into Flash ok. The function is:
function sendToFlash(str) { if (str=="tools"){ window.alert(str); getFlashMovie("richFunctionality_corp").sendTextToFlash(str);[code]....
If I remove the window.alert, str isn't passed into Flash. Is this a browser speed thing? A value menu is passed out of Flash using getURL("index.php?pageID=239&menu=tools"), i.e. the page reloads and a php script sends the appropriate str value to the sendToFlash javascript function based upon the value of menu.
I'm working with arrays in AS3 and some of the utility functions described in the livedocs such as filter() or some() would be very useful to me, if only I could pass parameters to them...
Actually, I cannot find a single example of the use of these functions with custom parameters passed to their callbacks. Everywhere, it is always used with constants ! E.g. on this page: [URL]
var arr:Array = new Array();var totalElements:uint = 100;for(var i:uint = 0; i<totalElements; i++) { arr[i] = Math.round(Math.random()*100);}function isLargerThan90(element:*, index:int, arr:Array):Boolean { return element > 90;}var highestNumbers:Array = arr.filter(isLargerThan90);trace(highestNumbers);
What I need is a kind of "isLargerThan" function with "90" as an argument's value, not as a constant. Something like
function isLargerThan(element:*, index:int, arr:Array, param:Object):Boolean { return element > (param as Number);}I find it very odd that I cannot find no mention of the way to do this on the whole WWW, because that makes these utility functions absolutely helpless in many many cases and programming with arrays a real pain...
I have already created a custom mouse event which seems to work fine. It is simply a mouse event which passes an additional sound object. The problem is I am passing this event to another class which checks for collision of a movie clip with another and if true it adds the sound to an array. What I think is happening is a type conversion problem between my customEvent and the MouseEvent. [code]...

i have one movie clip named one_mc.And i have one function named thisFunction.to add an event listener, i would code:
one_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_SOMETHING , thisfunction);
1) I want to show a box containing some text when the mouse is OVER it. Of course, when its not over, the box should not appear
2) I want to give parameters to thisFunction in order to use it, the way i prefer!
I must make one eventlistener for MOUSE_OVER and another for MOUSE_OUT? How do I pass parameters for the function when i call it?
This will work:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar);
function addCar(evt:MouseEvent)
{
[code]...
... but I want to pass the a value when calling the function:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar(classVolvo));
function addCar(evt:MouseEvent, newClass:Class)
{
var car1:Car = new Car( 1, 1, classVolvo)
[code]...
This won't work. Because it then just passes the Class and not the MouseEvent. What should I write in the addCar(...) call function? Ie how to I manually pass an MouseEvent?
I've got a main.as that loads SWF to the stage. the loaded SWF seppoused to pass a link to the main.as and trigger a javascript function to popUp that photo from that link.
I know there are two ways:
((root as MovieClip).parent.parent as Object).somefunction(parameters);
and to dispatch an event. inorder to pass parameters throug the event i need to extend it with another class.
isnt the (root as... ) more efficient if all i need is to pass a link?
i have couple of videos that i want to play in succession. my theory on how to do this was to add an event listener that would call function to change the source of the FLVPlayback component and play once the initial video finished playing. The problem is that i don't know what parameters to pass to the eventlistener and the acting function. I just need someone to fill in the blanks to the following code

want to make a sfw that receives parameters from the html tag. for example, when you embed youtube videos, in the <object> thingy you set the video you want to show. i want to do exactly the same, have a 'projector' (though not exactly videos), the swf knows what to do from the html tag params, and displays the right content. how do i red html params from the sfw (and how do i test it?).
also, is there any doumentation/examples on how to connect php/mysql to a flash movie?
I'm looking for the best methods to pass variables to a MySQL and receive variables from that database as well.

I am trying to load a swf file in a browser and pass url parameters to the flash movie. How do I access the url parameters in the flash movie in actionscript?[url]...
I did find pointers on passing parameters through embed/object tags, but nothing on passing url parameters (and accessing them) just through a browser url.
I created a swf in swf where I have a video and also instantiate another swf using a loader.That other swf reads a xml (RSS) and displays a text with marquee at the bottom end ...

View 1 RepliesI've created a very simple video player that I want to use with many different FLV files on my site. Rather than packaging SWF files with each FLV, I'd like to just design one SWF file and have the corresponding HTML file pass the URL of the FLV as a parameter to the SWF. I've read a lot about passing in parameters from HTML to SWF using AS3, and it seems pretty straightforward. Here's an example of the code I created using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0:
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loaderComplete);
function loaderComplete(evt:Event):void {
//traceText.text = "Loaded";
[Code]....
Note that I'm using the variable "userName" to pass the parameter. Eventually I'd use a variable like "movieURL" to convey the actual URL of the FLV file. In any case, when I run the code, I get ... nothing! Nothing but a blank text box. Both the HTML and SWF files are on my local machine.
If I uncomment the "//traceText.text = Loaded" line, the text box says "Loaded", which would indicate that the event listener is functioning properly.
I am trying to use FlashVars to pass a parameter that will determine which graphic to load into my movie. The test actionscript code uses a dynamic text field called dText and is coded as follows (testing the FlashVars by passing them to a dynamic text field):
function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event){
var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
dText.text=flashVars.userName; }
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
In my html code I am adding:
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars VALUE="userName=SamG" />
FlashVars="userName=SamG" // added to the embed tag
Inside a .fla file I have some buttons and each button will tween a different image to the stage. All the images are outside the stage in the same x and y position and I just need to tween the x coordinate.
Now I'm working with an external document class where I'm trying to hold all my functions and I'm stucked with the Tweens. I'm willing to stay away from the flash tween engine and I'm trying to work with tweenLite.
Is it possible to pass parameters through eventListeners so I can use something like this inside my docClass?
public function animeThis (e:MouseEvent, mc:MovieClip, ep:int):void { //ep stands for endPoint.
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {x:ep});
}
If this is possible, how am I supposed to write the listeners so it will pass the event to be listened for AND those parameters? And how to build the function so it will receive those parameters and the event?

I have 2 skins, almost identical, but differ in 1 small way that can be accounted for if I could pass a Boolean to the skin while assigning it to the host component (a button).
