Code:
Scratch = function() {
this.previousClip = null;
this.startScratch = function(clipName) {[code].....
I'm trying to set the previousClip variable (which belongs to the Scratch-class) in the onMouseUp function. I know I'm not doing it the right way, but can someone tell me how to set a the previousClip variable properly?
I'm trying to make an scratch lottery ticket in as3 by using the bitmapData class. The scratch function is working fine, but I want to add an function that is challenging. When 75% of the lottery ticket surface is scratched of I want to trigger an event.

View 1 RepliesI have two classes one called 'LoaderSwf.as' which is used to talk to all the other classes im using. I also have a 'GeneralTimer.as' which works fine from a stand alone 'GeneralTimer.swf' file. What I am trying to do is send a value of 10ms to the 'GeneralTimer.as' which will then run the timer and when complete send a value back. But for simplicity im trying to send a 10 ms value to trace("tick") and trace("tock").
I keep getting error "TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: Cannot convert 10 to GeneralTimer." this is according to Adobe "1034 Variables cannot be native." What does that mean for starters?
Here's my code:
in LoaderSwf.as
Code:
var w:Number = 10;
GeneralTimer(w);
in GeneralTimer.as
[Code].....
so as you can see I want to send the number 10 to be used in the GeneralTimer. I am sure I have used this before (in CS3) and its worked but am now using CS4

In c++ if I have a function that takes a class I have defined elsewhere as a parameter like so:void moveto(CPoint2D point) { ... }I can invoke it and pass along data to it like this:moveto(CPoint2D(0,0));basically creating the object and invoking it's constructor to be passed to the functionIs there an equivalent to this in AS3?if I have a function like this:function initialize(min:Point, max:Point): void { ... }how do I do something along the lines of :initialize(Point(0,0), Point(10,10))This throws an error im assuming because it thinks I want to cast something to a point and the notation I found earlier to do something similar only seemed to work if using the basic Object class.
View 1 RepliesHowever, on a bright note its coming!!!! So far, everything is going well and I am now seeing the light with AS3I do have a question on returning a variable from a function that loads an external CSS. This particular function is located inside a LoadStyleSheet.as class along with another public function that sets text properties to fields when accessed. What I am looking for is accessing the stylesheet after its been loaded in another class. I know in AS2 I could use the Delegate method for something similar to this situation. Not sure what the next step is for AS3. Anyhow, function script is below.
ActionScript Code:
public function loadStyleSheetItem(loadStyleSheet_str:String):void {
var styleSheet_css = new StyleSheet;

I have been trying to convert the watch function code into AS 3. I am totally new to AS 3 and could not find the solution yet. Here is my code -

The variable 'buttons' must be in the root timeline. And, I cannot use this variable inside any other class.
My plan is to initiate part of a movie clip on mouseDown and complete it only when mouseUp has been initiated. This is for a drag and drop onto a UI element that appears only when mouse down is initiated.
I have managed to do this with the following AS2 on the first frame on the timeline:
stop();
slide_mc.stop();
button_btn.onPress = function() {
slide_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
[Code]....
This works well for the first time, but after that it does not recognise my mouseDown, only my mouseUp.
I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?

My trace results says null. Why does it not give me "hello"?
how do use a function from a doc class.... to call a function to work on in

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?
I'm trying to combine PHP/SQL and Flash. I've got a problem now. I want to load a variable that contains an url to an image. so the variable is like this: [URL] Now I want flash to load the image, not the text. The variable is called 'img1' but the loadmovie function doesn't work when I put it in.

I need help building a site entirely on Flash from scratch. I am a beginner at the software, I know what most tools do, I know how to create basic tweens and stuff, but well, all in all, I'm a beginner. I know absolutely nothing on Action Script (be it 2 or 3), and I want very much to learn Flash now. To do so, I want to put online a portfolio site for me. I already know Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects quite well, so I think now's the time to give it a shoot. On to business:
1. So, first, what size should it be? I wanted it to be something around 1024 x 768 maybe? Is it possible to set an adapative resolution for the site? (I don't know if that's the correct term, what I meant is that the site changes resolution according to the users who are accessing it.)
2. I heard that if you don't use ActionScript to animate things, the site gets mega heavy. Is that true? What should I use ActionScript for when building this website?
3. Is it possible to organize the loading priorities? As in, the order in which things load, so that the site gets a bit more dynamic allocating the user's connection?
4. Are there global standards for Flash-based websites?
For now, I guess this is it. I'm starting this project today, so I'm still not quite sure what other doubts may pop up.

View 2 RepliesI have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

is it possible to declare function this way
ActionScript Code:
function startShake(e:MouseEvent, num1, num2):void
what i mean is it possible to send to the function not only en event but also a variable and a second question how can i access
ActionScript Code:
function stopShake(e:MouseEvent):Array
this array that function return.

I was wondering what would be the most optimal way of coding something that work this way: There's 10 buttons, you click button 5 (for example) which causes button 5 to gotoAndStop(2) while at the same time it tells all the buttons which aren't button 5 to gotoAndStop(1)

Does anyone have any tips for how to approach building a two level accordion menu from scratch? ...or better yet a tutorial? I haven't been able to find anything online other than references to the accordion component which I do not want to use.
Right now I got as far as loading in all the 1st level menu items and their child items from an XML file, when you click one of the 1st level items a function is called which moves all of the 1st level items below the one you click on down far enough so that all of that item's sub items have space, they then attach to that item.
I'm using a for loop within a for loop, is there a better way?
Does anyone know of any good tutorials that will walk me through building an as3 player from the ground up including: clickable seek/progress bar, volume control, and fullscreen support?
Lee Brimelow has a great series of tutorials at gotoandlearn.com, but they are for actionscript 2. He has one new tutorial for as3 video basics but he hasn't gone further yet.
I'm not so good at backwards engineering existing players so I think I'd rather just walk though it. I'd also really like to avoid components and pre-cooked stuff.
I would like to write a very simple 3d engine just to learn it. I have some knowledge about 3d in as3 and perspective concept but I would like to see some tutorial about where to start to build it.
