this will load the image that is key in the text field.any idea i can check an error here like:if i key in the wrong file name i will get a text say "wrong file name.!" else if correct file name, load the jpgs..i have this on my reset button:
on(release){
this._parent.text1.text= "";
}
it will reset wht i wrote on the text field. but i still need to unload all the pics i have uploaded.
I broke apart all JPGs and converted them to symbols.And they all have correct X & Y coordinates.But while tweening the JPGs shift a tiny bit. Anyone know how to stop the JPGs doing the jiggle shift error?(I've seen it before, and thought I could fix it by breaking apart the JPGs and making symbols out of them, but the JPGs still have that quiver bug now)
I've designed a site that dynamically calls in jpgs into a swf. I've done it before on other sites and haven't had a problem. However on this site (www.jefftse.com), sometimes the jpgs load and sometimes they do not on IE on a mac. Which is bizzare. Why would it not work occasionally?
building a dynamic gallery using PHP and mySQL. So far I am able to load the thumbnails from my database, and create an onPress event for each thumbnail. I can get a static .jpg to load, but I can't get the thumbnial to link with the corresponding fullsize image dynamically.
Basically I have loaded the filenames from the database into two arrays: thumbnails[] and fullsize[]. I know the database is working perfectly, I can load the fullsize images or the thumbnails into the thumbnail placeholders.
So i have my items that I bring onto stage with my loop function with dynamic text fields within the loop. If I want to clear these items using a reset button on the stage how can I do this. From my code below when I press the reset button I receive: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.So a little snippet of my code just to give an idea what I use to bring items to stage and what Im trying to use to reset[code]....
i am trying to make a game that the score is calculated based on which objects you pick up from the stage. I am having trouble outputting them to the stage.
I have assigned the symbols from the library using the code below:
I'd like to have Flex trigger the browser to download a PDF file from a server, but if anything goes wrong with the script that generates the file I want to be able to throw a meaningful error from Flex. Is it at all possible to try to open the URL in Flex first and check the response's HTTP status or Content-Type, then if it's a PDF file and not an error pass it up to the browser to display the "Save File..." dialog?
I'm having a bit of trouble with a script to check a 'dynamic number'...
Basically, I've got a movie which plays in a loop and each time it goes around, it clicks up a number, which I have on the stage as 'dynamic text' called "ImageNumber" - this bit is working fine it uses the following code to add[code]...
I am trying to avoid this error:TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.It is being caused when I reference an object that does not exist. My code automically goes through an array of objects and will sometimes try to reference a location that does not exist (like [-1][6] for example).I am trying to set a variable based on another variable from an object in that array like so:ob.upleft = Map.baseTileArr[ob.upY][ob.leftX].walkable;If it does not exist, my program stops and I am thrown that error. My question is, how can I check to see if that object's variable in the array even exists before assigning the variable?
I've tried this, but it did not work: if(Map.baseTileArr[ob.upY][ob.leftX]){ ob.upleft = Map.baseTileArr[ob.upY][ob.leftX].walkable;
trying to make a yahtzee game but cant get it to score the 3 and 4 of a kind. I have dynamic text boxes that convert the dice to a number for scoring called result1, result2, ... How do I test to see if 3 of them match or 4 for the 4 of a kind and add the text boxes if 3 numbers match. I have a button that will start the function called score_3kind.
I've tried the following code to check if a dynamic text field has a number or string in it. My problem is that after adding the new if statement (first one) it's the only one that will execute so I don't even know if it's checking whether it's a number or not.
I'm very new to Flash, but I have been learning loads and getting some good results so far. Browsing these forums has been a massive help. However today I have hit a problem in what should be almost the simplest line of code I know how to write (variable = x), and could do with some advice. I have a simple program containing a button which will change a variable when pressed. There is also a text-box that will output that variable. However when I press the button, the variable will change, but then immediately revert to it's previous value.
I made a simple class that's keeping a history of strings, updating it with a push() method (like an array) and with a possibility to navigate with next() and previous().Therefore my class has an array and a integer indication the current position in the array. (See full code below)Now something very strange is going on. When coming into the push() method the position variable has some value, which I can change, but everytime I try to read that variable, it gives me a 0. I've never had this kind of problem before and I simply cant find out what's wrong.The push() method
ActionScript Code: public function push(entry:String):void [code]......
I have a character on the stage in my fla that when hitting a particle created in an a particle.as removes the particle. I have the code for removing the particle and also a score counter that adds one everytime a particle is removed (located in my particle.as). My problem is the score keeps resetting or I get sporadic results (not sure which) for example here I traced the results[code]...
How do you reset the scrollbar in Flash? (I'm using the component, not a cusom scrollbar.)If you go here, scroll ALL the way to the bottom and then click on "Donations" - you'll see the scrollbar stays in place.How do I get it to refresh each time new text is loaded? I've tried refreshPane() and a few other things, but nothing works.
How do you reset combo-boxes?I have this form with combo-boxes and input textfields, and I want a button that can reset the form.The input textboxes are easy:TextBox1.text = "";
at some point in the past, i believe soon after i got Flash CS5 and installed it, i started receiving the following error when clicking the "Check Syntax" button:
Warning: 5004: The file '/Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 3.0, could not be found. You may need to reinstall Flash.
what's particularly annoying is that playerglobal.swc file is present in that FP9 directory. do i need to choose some arbitrary setting somewhere so Flash CS5 knows it's not 2008 and that i'm not deploying on Flash Player 9?
I've created a application where the viewer could change colours, add text, add logos, rotare them, etc... How do I create a reset button which resets everything to back normal in a specific FRAME? What functions do I have to use? E.g. Frame 5 is used to Add colours and text, etc... Frame 10 is used to Add logos,scale them, rotate them, etc... I need a reset button in Frame 5 to make only the things which were changed back to normal.
I am trying to move a movieclip down using Actionscript. Then when a user fires a back event [which is successfully firing] the movieclip is then required to go up again. The code is:
trace("fholder _y org: " + folioholdermc._y); // THIS COMES OUT TO BE -601 var yDown1:Tween = new Tween(folioholdermc, "_y", Bounce.easeOut, -601, -449, 3, true); trace("step 1 called"); trace("fholder _y down1: " + folioholdermc._y); [Code] ......
I'm making a simple platform game in Flash CS5 and Actionscript 3.0. When the player loses all their lives, I want it to redirect the player to a "Game over" screen where they can select a "Try again" button to restart the game.
Set everything (player, background, etc) to visible = false Set "Game over" movie clip to visible = true (it is invisible during gameplay)
Have the button in the "Game over" movie clip hide the movie clip then re-show all the gameplay elements.Reset position of player to start, set score to 0, lives to 3, etc..It's probably not a very good way of doing this but if it works, then I'm happy. I just want the "Game over" screen to show briefly and if the player clicks the "try again" button, they can play from the start.
Now, the problem with my implementation of the above is that when I set all the gameplay elements to visible = true after having them set to false, the game has stopped.. keyboard input doesn't reactivate and the game elements are shown but aren't active. Is there something about the visible attribute I don't know? Does it mess with the "state" of an object? Here's some snippets of code from the Actionscript file...
if(lives >= 0) { //print number of lives }[code]..........
I've got 6 draggable movie clips that snap to a target - which works fine. If they don't hit the target area they snap back to their starting point- which also works fine.
My problem is that they can all be dragged to the target one after another, but I only want one movieclip to be at the target at any one time.
So,when I start dragging a new clip toward the target I want the movieclip thats already on the target to reset itself to it's starting position, thus being replaced by the incoming clip.
I want this to happen for all the draggable clips.
function dragSetup(clip, targ) { clip.onPress = function() { startDrag(this); this.beingDragged=true;
im creating this game. I have a main class, which I use to call the menu class and the actual game(board) class.
I got the game working, but now when I try to reset the instance of the board, it doesnt actually execute the constructor again. So I get a fresh board, but the variables aren't reset.
ActionScript Code: public function Resetboard(event:Passboolean){ board = null; board = new Board(); application.addChild(board); }
I've created this simple birthday game where the concept is to blowout 30 candles in 15 seconds.The candles are movieclips so that when they are clicked on, they blowout. However,when the option to "try again" begins, the candles are still out.
Just to start off, this isn't exactly an inquiry to a problem. It is moreso of a posting of a bug (or assumed bug) in the Flash player and how to get around it. Though if anyone else has a better method then share. Ok, well I very rarely ever work with the Sound() object in Flash, and I found myself working with it today. I was having a problem and I could not pinpoint it for the life of me.... my code appeared correct in every aspect.
After tracing many sections of my code to find out where it was going wrong I realized... that for some reason when you use Sound.stop(), the Sound.position doesn't get reset... it instead just increments from where it left off. This is quite annoying. And being that Sound.position is a read only property you can't reset it yourself. The only solution I have found for this is to delete or overwrite your Sound() object with a new Sound() object. Anyone know if this is indeed a bug, or if there was some reason Macromedia did it like this?
I know there are similar questions here that have been answered, but after trying to make sense of it, I still can't get this to work.Based on an array, I attach a number of MovieClips from the Library.On release they go to a certain frame, representing the "pressed" state of the button.The problem is, that I can't figure out how to reset the last pressed button back to it's original state...Here is the Actionscript code I have so far:
