ActionScript 2.0 :: Put A Basic Trace To See If The OnRelease?
Aug 31, 2008
I've tried to build up a little menu/breadcrumb, which I thought would be as simple as could be. Buttons with InstanceNames and their corresponding FrameLabel. Home, Portfolio and Contact work, but not the others? I even put a basic trace to see if the onRelease was working, and it wasn't, even though the code for each button is the same??
I'm trying to finally dive into OOP and tie it into XMl that I am loading. I am using a custom class I created and I believe I've linked everything together that should be (paths and whatnot). The problem I'm having is I'm trying to trace 1 of the new portfolio objects I created so that I can reference to its properties. But whenever I trace i get an undefined. Anyone who could point me in the right direction would be awesome! Here is the XML code:
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,
ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace. anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track? here is the code for that function...
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?
I have a flash file and in the main timeline four frames and and each frame has a stop action with a different movie clip in it. Frame's 2 movie clip has a move and at the end of it I have a button and want to make it when you click on it you go back to the main time line but the second frame. I have a "go to and stop" and tried others but none of them worked. it only stays in the the movie clip timeline.How do I get it to when you click on the button and it goes back to the main timeline from the movie clip?
I'm expert in AS2.0 but I couldn't get the fine starting point of the actionscript 3.0,. So please someone help me to start my as3.0 journey with fine kick(Tutorial link)..
I know how to get basic xml into flash, but I'm having a problem with a particular set up of xml. The sample below, I can get into flash but am having trouble manipulating it and getting the various bits of data into a format I can manipulate.
basically what im trying to do is have a basic countup timer that goes in intervals of three. (3,6,9,12,15,ETC.) but it has to run with a 12 fps and not stop. also this cannot be 1000 frames long .
I would like to have a third party exchange english language text in a swf file with translation-text in other languages. They would like to do it via XML. Is there a place where I can look up some basic info on how to write XML code (beginner), or find a script that lets me exchange text/content via XML?
I am using Flash 8 - trying to get started by simply fading in/out using Alpha. I totally get on the first layer converting image to movie, inserting key frame and motion tween, selecting clip and changing alphato 0%. Where I am absolutely lost - is when it comes the second, third, fourth and fifth image. I have tried inserting new layers and repeating the steps - but for some reason 2-5 images do not transition like image one.
I'm creating my first Flash website using AS3, and it's really basic. I would like to put in a contact form, which I have made. I've converted the 3 fields (name_field, email_field and message_field) to a symbol (movie) called 'form'. I've also got a send button, which is called send_btn.
I've set up the Action Script so that when the button is clicked, the user is taken to a confirmation-style page. All I want to do is called a php script (I'm comfortable with the code for that) called 'mailer.php' and send the three variables from the form to it before then loading the confirmation page.
I'm trying to build a basic quiz - there are 6 questions and I want it to display a score at the end. Everything works and it shows a value at the end (but always '0'). It's not keeping proper scoring as users go along, it should be adding '1' point for each score, no matter what option is clicked it just traces '0' in the output window. Maybe something to do with the variable or? Kinda new to Flash, the chunk of code I believe to be the issue is below,
import flash.events.MouseEvent; //varialbe for keeping score var score:Number = 0; //event listeners for button clicks, which will adjust the scoring array
i've been trying to animate a basic character, which is a comp of 2 legs, 2 arms, a torso and a head.I want it to move from point a to point b, whilist moving it's arms and legs in a very simple manner. what i've done is motion tweened the main character from point a to point b during 10 frames, and then inside the character i've classic tweened the arms and legs during 10 frames aswell. the animation inside the comp is working, but in the main scene i only see the character moving, and in frame 10 the arms and legs change to the tween's final pose, without the entire animation in the middle...
I'm just started doing 'hands-on' learning of Actionscript 3 using FlashDevelop. I've now managed to subclass a sprite, load a graphic from the library, and manipulate it around the stage. Next step is doing the same with a MovieClip, but it doesn't seem to be as simple. Basically, I want a simple subclass of MovieClip, that uses a SWF that I created & exported in Flash CS5 (anything else that can create them?), and then added it into my library in FlashDevelop.
In my 'Main' class, I want something like this: package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event; public class Main extends Sprite { private var myClip:MovieClip;
But that says the child is null, and I'm not sure I should be creating a 'new' MovieClip inside my sub-classed MovieClip anyways.
How would one create a video or audio stream using OSMF when there must be basic authentication on the url?Can one feed in Audio/Video using HTTPService to provide the header authentication?
I'm trying to develop a Flex Mobile / PHP application, and I'm running into some trouble with the AsyncToken... Does it not just return a basic string?
For example... I'm wanting to just return a simple string result from my request - right now, it's going to return a basic output string from the method that's implemented. The backend part works (PHP), I've done all of that... It's this that's giving me some problems:
I've got records being populated into our database from paypal's Instant payment notification methods...great. now i turn to our flash cs3 app to populate a component datagrid with the stored database data and to my surprise I'm unable to identify any examples on how this might even be done.
How do you connect to an mssql database from within flash cs3 to retrieve data for displaying within a flash datagrid?
I can write a cfc from coldfusion to return a dataset, but overall i'm not sure if i 'have' to learn Flex, or AIR or what to get the records 'read'.
My ActionScript 3.0 bible is vague at best and resorts to php. (which i dont know)
i would like to open a URL in a new browser tab from Flash (by clicking on a button). The page is protected with basic http authentication (the browser displays the login window), but i would like this authentication to be automatic.
The code i have now is this:
Code: var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("some_URL"); urlRequest.data = new URLVariables("name=John+Doe"); urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
[Code]....
I have a system where users authenticate over Flash and then they should be able to browse various folders on the server, which are protected with the same user/pass and i don't want them to enter the authentication twice.
I've had C# lessons in class and saw some basic class functions. Now however it's been a while since I worked with AS3. And it seems I can't figure out a basic way to communicate through different classes. I'd hoped I could do something like level.backgr1.x += 5; Where backgr1 is a MC defined in the class Level. I'll explain the thing I want to accomplish. I have a 3 classes, Main, Player and Level. Player and Level are children of Main. the mc in Level needs to move when a keyboard event occurs in Player. But only Main can acces Level because it is it parent.
What is a good structure for a complete Flash website. ex.
1) Index.swf ( which is just a container and loader for the actual SWF site content)
2) Main.swf (the main content of the site that gets loaded in by Index.swf)
Should the index.swf load in several SWF's , like navigation file , news reel file , etc....Also , if anyone know of a web site that has this information or knows of a book that covers this material ,
Id like to make a graphical editor with flash that has some basic features like copying and moving files, and editing text-files.The editor is to be used exclusively offline.I know that AS doesnt provide such functionality, but perhaps its possible with some backend script that doesnt require any installs (like php does)?Javascript, perhaps? Does it have the power to edit files etc?
it's been a long time since I opened VB and I just needed to make a real simple program.Someone enters their income, then based on their salary, their taxes are displayed.One input TextBox, one ouput TextBox, and a button to calculate.I'm almost there, I'm just missing something, I have a TextBox for income:
txt_income
I have a TextBox for income + taxes:
txt_taxtotal
And a Calculate button:
btn_calculate
Here is the code: (I didn't want to use a class like you did)[code].....
Everything I read about xml & flash gets all complicated - arrays, galleries, mp3 players etc. Does anyone have an example of the most basic xml - flash integration? I just want to import a text title, a jpg image & a text description that can be changed remotely once a month - nothing tricky...
i am working on my a portfolio site for my friend who is a photographer and am looking to create a basic menu that when any menu item is moused over it enlarges and the other menu items move to make room for this enlarged menu item.
