ActionScript 2.0 :: Random Animation - Use The ContinueTo() Method, That If() Statement Isnt Being Called?
May 24, 2007
I'm working on a animation for a charity and i need to make some birds fly around the stage randomly, and change _xscale depending which direction they are moving.I have an if() statement to check if the new destination point is smaller or bigger than the current _x position of each bird. This works perfectly, but when i use the continueTo() method, that if() statement isnt being called.here is the code for the birds.
function flight(){
for (var i=0; i<birds; i++){
var bird:MovieClip = attachMovie("crane","crane"+i,i+1);[code]....

I am having some trouble with my flash application not calling a web service when displaying through a web server.
When I open the html page that embeds the flash file in my browser directly from the hard drive i.e the absolute path to the file. The flash file loads up calls the web service and displays the value returned from the web service.
However, when I open the html page through the web server i.e through localhost the flash file also loads up, but it breaks when calling the web service...it is as if the web method isn't being called.
Is this a problem with flash or maybe the web server configuration? I have changed my flash global security settings and everything to include my testing folder.

Is there method that gets called just before object destroyed? So I can override it.
Like
protected override function beforeDestuction():void
{
trace("This object is about to be destroyed!");
}

I'm trying to add the pop function to a button in flex 4. But I keep getting an error call to undefined method when I try to use it, but it's a built in function isn't it?
<s:Button x="405" y="410" label="Undo last" width="85" click="data.pop()" id="undo"/>

A background music looping in the back, that starts with the opening of the swf and never stops. I think I achieved that with this bit of code :import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
bg music[code].....
Finally I need to jump from frame to frame randomly to play various animations. For example :Project starts, background music starts playing, we hear random sounds played one after the other, while some animations can be seen on screen, playing in a random order.

I wonder is anyone can look at this code and tell me why calling the removeSelectedChild works when called from the same document, but returns the following error when called from the child document/component.
"ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller."
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Anyway, I have a game with keyboard input and mouse input, and after certain mouse inputs I want to set the focus back to the stage in order to continue listening for keyboard events. I have a simple method in the document class:
Code:
private function setCommandLineFocus( e:MouseEvent=null ):void
{
if( theCommandLine )[code]....
Where "theCommandLine" is a movieclip which gets attached, and is where I send the keyboard events to.
The problem I'm having is this: When the method gets called in internet explorer, it sets the keyboard focus to the URL bar, so you type stuff in, and then hit enter and it reloads the damn page.

I'm creating a small guessing game where on stage there are 6 squares, and the user has to click on a square, and see if it's the correct one (it should be a bit more exciting when it's finished!) The random answer is created using the math.random method and I'm using an array for the square movieclips. The problem I now have is with the IF/ELSE statements.
have a look at the following code, and the bit I need you boffins to look at is just after the if statement.
var myArray:Array = [mc_square01, mc_square02, mc_square03, mc_square04, mc_square05, mc_square06];
myArray[Math.floor(Math.random() * myArray.length)].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , chooseMe);

Normally i would publish using Flash CS4, however SEO requirements dictate that i need to use SWFObject. now, i have all the same publishing settings as i would have using AC_FL_RunContent.however, it doesnt 'center':
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>[code].......
however when i use SWFObject, i doesnt not extend the dimensions, it does not scale to natual size, and it does not center in the browser. it just sits on the top left of the screen.either there is something very wrong with the javascript or i have made a mistake with the parameters.

If I have movieclips called "test1", "test2" and "test3" in the _root, I can use:
for(i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
_root['test'+i]._x = 100;
}
How do i use the "_root['mc']" selection method if all my test mc's are in another mc called layout.I have tried this but got a syntax error.
for(i = 1; i <= 3; i++){
layout.['test'+i]._x = 100;
}

I have a movie that is 2000px in height and some objects are duplicating vertically adding up by 100px. Say I have 5 objects so there is only 500px of content, is there anyway to use javascript from flash to limit the scrollbar to 500px instead of the full 2000?

This movie is supposed to start on a random frame, but the code seems to get ignored in Firefox. I also have some weird behavior when i test it locally, but it works fine in IE8, Safari, and Chrome: [URL]
Here is the code:
i = Math.floor(Math.random()*3385);
gotoAndPlay(i);
//trace("Current Frame: "+this._currentframe);
The .fla can be downloaded here: [URL]

I am trying to create random butterflies flying out of the frame and regenerating from the bottom.I have found your tutorial below helpful in getting them randomly fly out of the frame (and in correct direction for the graphic too) but I cannot get them to reappear from the bottom.

I have a strange dilemn and the 3D feature in Flash CS4 seem to be the most obvious connection to the problem. I have a page with 2 different swf files ( both under 50KB), which use the satay method. One works perfectly, and the other struggles to work. The pixels are magnified, the 3D animation scales incorrectly, and moves very slowly. Eventually the browser crashes and the whole operation goes down.

I'm trying to animate the lights of a christmas tree randomly from the bottom up. I'd like it to start from the bottom of the tree and move upward, but each section of lights as it moves upward, needs to animate randomly.Give each light (movie clip) in the tree an instance name of light1_mc, light2_mc, etc with light1_mc being the bottom most light and highest instance number being the top most light (i.e., if there are 50 lights, light50_mc would be the top most light). Then I would create a for loop that would loop through the array of lights and tell each light to turn on/fade in randomly, but from an ascending order (from light1_mc to light50_mc, but randomly).

I'm new to Flash and AS and everything and I've been trying for 2 days now without success.What I'm trying to do is this. The small squares should fade in/spawn in the blue rectangle and fade away/disappear when they hit the red edges.URL...The animation was made on timeline, not using any AS3. The 2 main problems I have is to get the random number to be from negative 1 to 1 and for the squares to move straight and notgenerate a new direction on every frame. I'm not going to show any code cause it's just edited from tutorials and I don't understand half of it and looks terrible.

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

startDrag();
}
IT DRAGS ALL 4 MOVIECLIPS.

I am trying to make a simple animation using Movie Clips and AS3.
What I have is multiple Movie Clips in the main timeline. I tried to use the following code on the last frame of each movie clip timeline to play the next one. In this case mc_1.
MovieClip(root).mc_1.gotoAndPlay();
Here is the error i get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at akg_160x600_2_fla::text1_1/frame60()
I didn't think I need a function or declaration for this to work. What am I doing wrong. Every search I do pertains to using a button which I can see would require a function, var, and eventListener. I can't find anything for a looping animation with no buttons???

My game moves small pieces slowly. I am trying to bitmap blit with either CopyPixels() or Draw() but because the end result always blits to a whole pixel value, the animation looks choppy. Have a look at my test swf where I use a small helicopter, which shows 60fps with very choppy movement. I thought the bitmapData's draw() method would allow me to smooth, but it apparently only smooths changes made by it's matrix argument. My only other resort is to go back to using movieClips with hundreds of frames that represent the various poses.
