ActionScript 2.0 :: Pile Everything Another Same Frame And Change The _visible Of Items When Show Them?
Jul 26, 2005
I discovered _visible. What I can now do is pile everything onther same frame and change the _visible of items when I want them to show. Before, I used to have different items on different frames. And I would move to the frame when I wanted an item to show. Method one is a little bit harder, but once you've done it a couple of times, it becomes easy. And I find it easier and quciker to develop once mastered. The second way, well I kind of thought: maybe this is less processor intensive? Movies are only brought onto screen when they need to appear. Is this true??

I have placed TextFileds inside TileList Compontent. When i try to select the TextField it can't show the selected Textfield in the TileList items by default the TileList items are selected.Finally i need to select the TextFields.
Here is my code:
import fl.controls.TileList; import fl.data.DataProvider; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event;
function TileListExample() { var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider(); var totalEntries:uint = 3; var i:uint; for(i=0; i<totalEntries; i++) { dp.addItem( { source:getTf(), scaleContent:false}

I'm updating this site for a client:
[URL]
I can't get "Motion" and "Press" to show as active. Basically this is done via a gotoAndPlay function, but it's not working. In addition, the code also deactivates the menu item when it's active; so, if I was on "Profile" before going to "Web" or "Press," that item remains inactive once I've clicked on "Web" or "Press," so I can't click on "Profile" again until I go to any of the other pages.
Below is the code for the navigation. Also, there is an external file named BookSection.as that I believe contains the code we would need to edit, I just can't figure out what it is - I've tried several edits.
You can find here (I couldn't upload since I don't have more than 50 posts):

ActionScript Code:
mLogo.gotoAndStop("complete");

I've included the .fla and source files I'm working on. Here is what I need some help to figure out:
1. How can I show the items in rows of 4 and 4.. Instead of just repeat them vertical?
2. How can I load the thumbnails in the menu items?
3. How can I load the image for the chosen item in the image placeholder?

In my flex 4 project I am using some Spark TextInput components. It doesn't show copy and paste in the right click menu by default. The user needs to copy some text and paste into it. How can we enable this?

I have a vertical menu which is generated via xml. Each menu item also has its own sub menu (not shown). When clicking on the top level item I want the rest of the items to move down to show the sub navigation. i.e.
menu item 1
menu item 2
menu item 3
menu item 4
menu item 1
sub menu 1
sub menu 2
sub menu 3
menu item 2
menu item 3
menu item 4
I have that working fine. Say if I have clicked on menu item 1, and the sub menu is displaying, before i have can view another sub menu I have to click on menu item 1 to close it before I can click on menu item 2.
This is the code that I am using to tell whether or not to move the buttons up or down:
Code:
menuButton.clicked = false;
menuButton.onRelease = function () {
if(menuButton.clicked == false) {
_root.moveMovieDown(buttonNum, buttonHeights);
menuButton.clicked = true;
[Code] .....
Basically I want to be able to click on any menu item button, if a menu item is open, I want it to close, and then open the new one. Just like this one. [URL

I have an (empty) ArrayCollection that I wrap with a ListCollectionView. Then I add a series of items to the ArrayCollection, but these are not showing up in the view.
public var transactions : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var filteredTransactions : ListCollectionView = new ListCollectionView(transactions);
transactions contains 150 items, filteredTransactions contains none. I originally thought it was the filter I was applying, but even when I remove the filter, I still get no items in the filtered list.
Do I need to add the items to the view as well as the underlying collection (this would seem to defeat the purpose of using a view though...)?

I'm animating a torn sack that will deflate as the beans inside of it spill out and pile on the ground. The sack I'm animating frame-by-frame, so the problem is the beans-- I can't imagine animating them one by one, but I know nothing about actionscript and the few tutorials I've found online don't address what I need to do; worse, they seem hopelessly complex.

I'm trying to do a work around for a 9-slice animation problem, [URL] and I'm doing a shape tween within a MC... but when I place the animated movieclip on the stage, it displays the first frame of the animated movieclip, and it would be much more useful for it to display the LAST frame of the animation. I feel like there was some way of choosing the stage-display frame of the movieclip in the past, but can't find any way of doing this in CS5?

I have all the functionality that I want. The basic premise of this exercise is that youth will grab a statement, drag over a microphone and it'll appear on the corresponding area (board1, board2, board3). So if they grab two statements in a row it'll place their answers at my predetermined spot. Is there a way to space each answer by a difference of 10 px? So they grab answer one and it'll go at (x) 75px, answer two will go to (x) 85 px? Basically ensuring that the mc's will not overlap or pile up.
Code is below:
// listeners
backbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backclick);
helpbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helpclick);
answerbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, answerclick);

In AS3, changing the childIndex of one movieclip ( say from a list of 10 movieclips), may change the childIndex of some another movieclip ( Flash probably does it to prevent outOfIndex error ) It sometimes become a headache to manage and code them, as movieclips show above each other in an unexpected manner.Is their any inbuilt way to make movieclip stick with a particular childIndex ? ( In AS2 there were depths that kept constant from 0-9999. And it was a real breeze as compared to AS3.0)

My movie publishes fine in FP9. When I try to publish in FP10 (so I can use unloadAndStop() ) I get a pile of 1009 errors and many of my Tweenlite instances won't work. Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Are there big differences between FP10 and 9?

I am using a ContextMenu for an AdvancedDataGrid in my application. I could implement the normal context menu for the grid. Now, I am planning to make the context menu dynamic.For example, if I click on a particular cell, I need to see only the items related to that cell in the Context Menu. Is there any way we can do that?

I have created a tile list with custom item renderer and in terms of functionality it works as it should. I reduced the width and height of the item renderer to 95% which then shows the tile lists background in the remaining 5% of that item. The problem is that only when I hover over the item, the background is covered up and I cant get a gap to appear between items. Is it possible to change the height and width of the hover over?
<mx:Canvas id="Card2" label="Card2" width="100%" height="100%" backgroundColor="#FFFFFF">
<mx:TileList id="tlCard2" x="10" y="10" dataProvider="{acCard2}" width="580" height="340" dropEnabled="true" borderThickness="0" maxColumns="4" maxRows="4" rowHeight="85" columnWidth="145" borderColor="#000000" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off" borderStyle="solid" dragMoveEnabled="true" dragEnabled="true" backgroundImage="{imgGuide}" themeColor="#BCBCBC">

I'm writing a script for a form that uses related comboboxes. Depending on which item is selected from the first list the associated combobox will become viewable so they can then choose from the correct list to proceed with the form. I had a working code that had a ton of if then statements but the script becomes rather lengthy and hard to update quickly, so I wrote this to streamline the code. The following is the handler for my combobox.
ActionScript Code:
function comboBoxes() {
if(bldg_list.getSelectedIndex() == 0){
bldg_mark._visible = true; //Indicates required field
[Code]....
The units variable returns the correct data on trace(); But will not reveal the associated combobox. My guess is, because I'm trying to reveal the component with a variable instead of the actual name it doesn't understand. Is this correct? Is there a workaround?

I am making a quiz/game, and it works like this, two teams that have to take over the united states, by answering history questions, so right now I have it were when you click on a state, it takes you to a question (on a different frame in the main timeline), then I have a problem, if you get the question right it takes you to the "board" of the United States (that works), but when you are back the color of the state should change its color to red (on frame of the clip) if south got it and blue (another frame of the clip) if north got itBut instead i changes back to grey (default color, all start grey to begin with). I don't and can't seem to figure this out

I've been following the book "Beggining Flash Programing for Dummies" and I have come up to a part where I create a very simple game.
The script involved in the frames are FRAME here:
stop();
btnGoThere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("there");
} //end event handler
Frame there
btnGoHere.onRelease = function(){ _root.gotoAndStop("here");} // end release
When I test the movie and click the button, the frames don't seem to change.

I got a MovieClip filled with a lot of others clips... When I change de X or Y value of this first MovieClip the frame rate slows down for during 1 frame. For exemple... I created a counter that returns around 30 mseconds every frame, but when I do this X or Y change the return is around 400 mseconds... When I try to fill the first MovieClip with less information it goes faster, about 100+-200 mseconds...

I'm using AS2 (Flash 8), and I created a subclass of MovieClip - Card and attached an instance to the stage using attachMovie. However, I can't seem to make it invisible using _visible. Using _alpha works, however, but I would like to use _visible instead. where the problem might be? Here's the relevant code:

Not having a movie clip on the stage until needed (attachMovie when it's time, and then kill it as soon as it's temporarily of no use).visible = false^ Is there a difference in processor demand? When setting visible to false, it seems to me that a few extra variables would need to be stored for the movie clip..._x, _y, _width, _height, _alpha, etc., etc., etc...but I wasn't sure how Flash goes about handling these things or which was better practice?

I am a little new to actionscript and I have run into a wall that I can't break down. Basically, I am using the _visible. command to turn on and off some overlapping movie objects (it's a complex actionscript button). The actionscript works just fine click on a button and it turns red click on another button and the first button turns black while the latter now turns red. The problem is that something in my actionscript is causing the following to occur. I click the first button and it goes red. I click the second button and it goes read. The first button stays red until I rollover my mouse on the button (I don't have any rollover functions) and all of a sudden it seems to refresh and go back to black as it should have done automatically..
/*
var frameStop:String = null; // stop current external swf movie from playing
var xy:Number = null; //level number of the movie clip to be stopped
