i have a function that receives a function as a parameter. example:
function foo(bar:Function):void() {};
how can i set a default value for the function to be an empty function so the user will not have to paste a function as a parameter ?
Would it be possible to see if a frame is empty and if it is then call a function?
View 4 RepliesI have a small aplication with two inputTextFields and a button, when the button is pressed it triggers a function that calculates the value in the two text fields, and everything is fine but when the textFileds are empty which is the default value and the button is press I get an error (Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.)how can I detect if the inputTextFileds are empty and some how kill the main function ?
function Name: calculate

I've basically finished this project, but there are some feature I'd like to add which are giving me trouble. Heres the jist of the flaIt takes data from a txt file and uses split() to put that data into an array (a list of phrases). Then it randomly chooses one of these phrases and displayes it in a text field, then it repeats this every 5 seconds.What I am trying to add are these two things:1) do not repeat array value until all have been used once2) alpha fade in and out of each phrase, the AS of which is basic, but I am not sure where to put the code and set it up in this case.Im just confused on where to place and exactly how the write the code for these additional elements
View 5 RepliesI upload my flex client-side swf app to some website that loads different swf's on it's site. So you see your application floating in that website. My app is Flex swf app and has onCreationComplete() that starts the flow of logic. Now I want to do cleanup state and save state in a shared object when the application unloads (or probably exiting event, or closing event..) So do we have any function that I can implement and the flash platform automatically calls that function when the swf is unloading/closing/exiting?? (just like the onCreationComplet() function)

I have an Array which holds phrases. Now I want to be able to set the var: on my dynamic textfield to the correct phrase in the array. It works when I use tmp_txt.text = phrases['yes'].sText, but I want to set it directly on the textfield. Is this possible?// explanation:// phrases['yes'].sText returns JA which is swedish for YES

I have a swf that loads into another flash file through an empty movie clip. For some reason, the swf isn't working properly. It works fine on it's own, but once it's brought into the other flash file via empty mc some elements of the swf do not show up or function properly.

What I'm trying to do but can't seem to get is when the parent swf gets to a certain point in the time line I need it to unload what ever movie is in that videoLoader_mc. I've gone through ever tutorial I can find to no avail. [code]...
View 0 RepliesI've had to create the following code to get a series if loading movies to work properly. Each loaded movie is basically a series of automatically looping images controlled by external xml. I found that without adding the unload movie on each button action the first movie loaded kept playing over any subsequent movies loaded. However its rather long winded and if the amount of movies increase it really is going to be very large. How to create an efficient funtion that does the job in a more effective way:
intro_mc.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovie ("_root.container02");
unloadMovie ("_root.container03");
unloadMovie ("_root.container04");
createEmptyMovieClip("container01", 2);
loadMovie("deaf_intro.swf", "container01");

I am have written a flash "reader" which I use as an aid for language studies. Various narrations are loaded into a combobox via an XML file, and the user can play the selected narration in a "sentence mode", a "passage mode" (several sentences) or in "continuous mode". (I use Soundbooth to set navigation cue points at the beginning of each "sentence".)
I would like to add a "Phrase Mode" which would cause the player to play the sound file until it hits a pause / quiet spot. In other words, if the user selected "phrase mode", the player would play to the next spot where there is no voice for x period of time. He/she will then be able to select 'repeat' to replay the phrase or 'next' to play the next "phrase" - as with the other modes. I am using FLVPlayback to play the .flv files.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to determine the real length in pixels that a phrase uses.The problem lies on the fact that every character does not take the same space (x pixels). Let's say I have a dynamic text field and I want to know how many pixels does the sentence use.is not the same to have:phrase #1 =iiiiiiiiiithanphrase #2 =wwwwwwwwwweven though both are using 10 characters.What is the most precise way to find this out?

I want to create a particle system that spews into the air multiple copies of letters that eventually spell out a phrase.Since the final file will involve hitTestObject collisions, I think I'd need, as a first step, 10 non-dynamic MCs to create my phrase... loaded into, I'm guessing, an array? Something like: target_mc = ["H", "E", "L", "O", etc.]; Then, as a second step, I need a spewing mechanism, built around(?): addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);

I have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc,
//resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter
onClipEvent(load) {
var maxWidth = 150;

I want the current swf to unload and the new one to load only after a transition occurs. Is there a more efficient way to do this than if. switch()?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a school project that requires me to load external .swf or .jpg files. I currently have all of the buttons working and are loading an external .swf file on to the screen. The problem I am having is that when I go from one button to the next the loaded .swf stays on the screen and the next .swf gets loaded on top of it. I know that I need to unload the file but I am not sure where to put the code for the unload or what code exactly to use. I would like when the button is pressed to unload the previous loaded .swf and load the new .swf without having a separate button to unload.

I am using Macromedia Flash Pro 8. I have a flash intro that has words (phrases) which slide in. I would like to add a 7 second pause between each phrase to give people time to read them (no buttons).

I have been looking for weeks & tried many codes but none seem to work - or I don't know exactly where to place them - or both
View 3 RepliesI'm programming a little tank game (Check the attachment). The main class for tank is game.serovkonstantin.tanks.Tank.as and there are also 2 subclasses for now: Abrams and T90 which extend Tank. In my game.serovkonstantin folder I have a custom event (TankEvent), and the only event type inside of it which is TANK_INACTIVE.
I've added an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK to each of the tank instances (inside Tank.as) which works just fine. When I add any of the tank instance onto the stage and click it, it traces the tank's name just like I wanted whether it's Abrams or T-90 depending on what tank I clicked. But the problem is that when I click a tank I also want it to dispatch my TankEvent.TANK_INACTIVE. The main stage has a listener for this event, so I expected it to catch the event and trace some phrase, but nothing happens I don't know whether it doesn't dispatch my event or doesn't catch it.
========
if you're interested why I need to dispatch this event, well,I suppose it will help my game know what tank to move when I click somewhere on the stage, and what tank(s) should be inactive,event it they all of the same type. I mean if I click one of the tanks it accepts all the controls while the other should be inactive
