View 5 RepliesI'm doing some Actionscript work right now and I'd like to know whether there's a way to initiate an empty object's value programatically like this:
var myObj:Object = new Object;
myObj.add("aKey","aValue");
To add a property called aKey whose value is aValue.I need to create a "Dumb" (data-only) object to use as a parameter to send via POST. So I don't know offhand how long and/or how many attributes it's gonna have.
I have a movie that, when a button is pressed, a specific movieclip (named revealbar) moves a certain increment (in this case 25 pixels):
Code:
on(press){
gotoAndStop(2);
_root.revealbar._x = _root.revealbar._x+25;
}
What I'd like to do is have the bar decrease in size instead of just move.
I'm attempting to make a game which moves an object to certain x/y coordinates on the push of a button, but I can't figure out what would be needed.

View 1 RepliesI am working on a car game in flash where you see the car from a top view and you go straight ahead all the time on an endless road.The game so far is built in the way that I have a image of a car that's the main car and the road is a image itself that keep switching with another image of the road and when you play it it looks like the car is moving very fast. But actually the car is not moving at all except for when you move it yourself by going right or left.When turning right I do not want the car to simply move to the right, but I also want it to rotate a bit so it looks more realistic when turning.So when you press the right key it rotates 5 degrees even if you keep holding it and when you release the button it rotates back quickly.The script I'm using:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) //This
{
if(Key.isDown(Key.LEFT))[code].....
Before I start I would like to point out Im new at actionscipt. I want to move an object from a to b on a mouse press using actionscript to ease out. The only threads I can find involve huge scripts I know it should only be a couple of lines!
View 1 Replieswell i'm trying to get this object to move on the press of a key (keeps moving if you hold it down) and stop when you release it, but all i'm gettin, is when you press it, it moves on forever and never stops....
View 12 Repliesi would like spin an object in clockwise and anticlockwise direction with ease via press of a button.tried using,
on (press) {
this.testmovieclip._rotation += 45;
}
just to get the object to turn... What i wanna do is have 4 buttons, 1st button turns the object 45 degrees, then 2nd button turns it next 45 degrees and so on... Have attached .fla of what im trying to achieve.
How can i make it so a when you press a button it starts a countdown but every other press dosent reset it?

View 1 RepliesI basically have this and what I need to do, is when the user clicks on one of those boxes on the right, it'll appear in the yellow box on the left.
Each of those right boxes will be unique with different graphics. It'll basically be different graphics to be displayed on a T-shirt, which will be represented by the big black square.
Now I know that each of those graphics should be a button symbol with mouse click event, but I'm not really sure how to handle the event.
Should I just create a clone of that item and move it to the target area? Or is it possible to create some kind of blank placeholder where I could just display it?
I have a TextField movieClip within my main swf. Then an external swf plays an mp3 (as a result of a prior action). When the external swf completes I would like to programatically click the TextField so that all the ActionScript within the TextField.onPress event will occur.I don't know how to programatically issue a click event. I could repeat all the code within the TextField.onPress event again within the external swf file but I thought it would be a lot easier just to programatically click the TextField again.
View 3 RepliesWay to take a piece of text and make it go around the edge of a line that is warped? (specifically, circular, but I'm sure once it's following the line, the shape is not relevant). I can't find a good resource for how to do this. I assume I'll need to create separate movie clips for each character and then rotate, and position, but I'm having a hard time finding a resource for how to do this.
View 4 RepliesHow do access all of the children of a DisplayObject using code? (I'm looking for something like movieclip.children)
I'm using this in two cases:
1) To loop through and reposition all of the children of an enclosing MovieClip.
Or
2) To loop through and delete all of the children of a MovieClip
Is there any Actionscript-C# API/Libraries available so that i can create a flash file via my C# program and manipulates the content of that (Ex : Add a motion tween animation to it). I have seen something similar to this in adwords.google.com (to create promotions/ads)

I want to publish camera over FMS. But I don't want to use adobe security panel to be displayed(not even once) with setting as "access" by default.I wan't to set it allowed programatically.

i've never had to do any cross scripting until now and i'm running into a (probably really stupid) error right at the start.
External SWF:i've created a new ActionScript 3.0 project in Flash Professional CS5. on the first frame i've added the following script:
[Code]...
perhaps i'm misunderstanding the nature of cross scripting or loading external swf files, but i can only seem to make this work if i've manually drawn display objects on the stage and not if the external swf's display objects are generated by code.is it not possible to load external swfs that are programatically created and add them to the display list of a main swf?
Is it possible to programatically export the contents of the stage to a jpg format? The goal is generating a starfield from a Photoshop png object over a background created in Photoshop inspired by van gogh starry night, then the result is exported in jpg of select sizes 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1040.
That can be downloaded from a browser or emailed for use as wallpaper
I need to create an object in code which can then be imported to the stage. Specifically it's a circle with an ellipse cut out of it. The size and position of the ellipse masked out need to be parameterized by sliders, and the size of the circle as a whole is also a parameter which might be dragged out on the stage.
Does anyone have an example of how to programatically create an object in action script which can be imported to the library which can take parameters (or rather expose some methods) which can be wired to other things in the project like a knob or slider?
I found this example [URL].. which works great but only if you have the focussable elements in a VGroup.
However I have a Form inside the VGroup which means that the focussable elements are in FormItems of the Form. The Form can't be added directly into the Scroller and doesn't have a layout property.
I could use form.getElementIndex(formItem) and then do some math using the formItem y position but that's very ugly. Anyone have an idea how to get this working in a clean way like the above example?
i have an object that i want to drag and drop with the same event.Something like on press start drag and on press again stop drag. I'm sure it's pretty simple with and if and else statment but i can't find how to do that...The best i have done so far was this:

View 2 RepliesI am making a "sport the difference" type game in AS3.Basically, I put two images on the stage and position corresponding circles over the differences. What I need to figure out is the best way to "link" the two circles programatically, so that clicking either one will fire the same event, that I can watch for.
