ActionScript 2.0 :: SetTimeout Not Forwarding Function's Returned Variables?
Jan 5, 2007
I am trying to write a function that calculates the estimated time remaining for the movie to load. I have a function written that gets that information and I run it again with a setTimeout for 1 second then take the difference... blah blah blah. My issue gets me before i can get that calculating goodness off the ground. The first time i run the function without the setTimeout it works correctly. When i use the setTimeout, it returns the boolean value "1" signifying that it ran and didn't fail. Somewhere in there it loses the value returned by the called function. Any thoughts? I'm sure this may not be the most efficient method for doing what I want, but it bugs me nonetheless why this isn't working.Here's my code:
Code:
function getDeltaBytesLoaded(target_mc) {
var sample1:Number = new Number();[code]......

tried to prepare this source so that it is organized and clear enough to figure out what I (an idiot when it comes to scripting/programming) have done so farI have a slideshow with a function ("wait();"), which uses setTimeout to move the main timeline to the next frame (via nextFrame) after 4seconds(4000ms) have passed. The only exception to this, is on the last frame (Frame 7), where the timeline is to move back to frame 2. This is done using a simple conditional statement.. and all is well so far. Pretty simple.
The problem lies in that I have a set of 6 buttons across the bottom - each corresponding to one of the 6 'slides' that I'm sliding through. Right now, the code on these buttons uses gotoAndPlay, and jumping around from frame to frame in this way screws up the timer.As you click the buttons, the timer is still ticking.. and you start to see multiple advances, I assume each click of the buttons starts a new 'clock'.. each forcing a "nextFrame" as soon as their done, despite the other timers going on.What I need - is for the buttons to send the timeline to the appropriate frame, and turn ALL timers off. That is - if a user clicks a button, they have indicated which slide they want to see - and I want to stop the slideshow entirely. As soon as a user clicks any button, the only way they will see the other 5 slides if they also click those buttons.So the slideshow is built as follows:Frame 1: a basic preloader, followed by this code:
Code:
//setTimeout code
function wait()

I'm trying to load a .swf into a containerMC with a button action. I want it to delay the loadMovie action for 1 second to allow an out animation to finish playing. The buttons (next and back) are in a MC on the main timeline of the swf.
I have this code in 1st frame of main timeline:
_global.nextMC = function() {
_root.containerMC.loadMovie("images/folio/chevron.swf");
};
[Code].....
I feel like I'm close, but probably just am missing something here in my setTimeout syntax.

I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

I have a PHP file that sends different amounts of variables back to flash depending on what the user has done.
I was wondering if there was a way of counting these variables in the event.target.data so I could make a for loop?

I think I have the recursion working properly, but I'm not able to get the originally requested item's property set to the right value.The goal here is to find the topmost parent (or "ancestor," depth = 0) of the nested item (a taxonomy based on Dictionary "parent" attributes), and assign that originally requested nested item's "ancestor" property accordingly.For instance, in
Apples
- Red
- - Empire
- - - Fresh
"Fresh"'s ancestor should be set to "Apples." While I'm attempting this on an "on-demand" and individual basis, I'm open to a solution that tags all children that are related to the same ancestor in one fell swoop or for statement, since that would probably be more efficient.
REQUEST
for (var mc:Object in taxonomy) {
var term = taxonomy[mc];[code]....
As you can see, while the recursion does find the root, the originally requested item still gets the default value.

I am posting a thread regarding passing a javascript returned value into Flash. It is slightly complex due to the solution I am looking for must target Flash Player 6.
I have looked at various solutions including the Flash / JavaScript Integration Kit wrote by the guys at the former Macromedia. Unfortunately the solution involved includes various classes and then import them in Flash which produces the following error:
The class or interface 'com.macromedia.javascript.JavaScriptProxy' could not be loaded.
The Javascript I want to retrieve the value from looks like:
<script language="JavaScript">

function CheckIn(){

I just need to pass the returned value into a variable within Flash.

Is it possible to use Actionscript to speed up (or slow down) a video playing? Say, having it play at twice the normal speed? If possible, can you also make it that the sound does not get all squeaky? Some Videoplayers can do that, I was wondering if it is possible to do in Flash.

I'm working on a website based on flash. The first time you visit the site there will be asked to fill in your name (for example: George) and then you continue to the next 'page' in the flash. The next time you visit the site, i want that the site automaticly forwards to the last page, and there is a text 'hi, *name*' (hi, George)

I know that there is a possibility to open a video file either using a flash player or html5 in a browser, but is there a possibility to open it at the certain place (lets say 60 seconds from the beginning) or automatically fast forward it after opening?

I need to separate the visual part of a component from the functional part of a component, so that I'm able to replace the visual one with a new one for another platform.
Declaring an instance variable _delegate with the delegate's interface isn't a problem. But how Do I forward non-implemented method calls of the visual part to those of the delegate.
What's the equivalent of PHP's _call()?

When I click button, the application opens along with a blank window. So I used setTimeout to close the blank window. But the below script works fine with firefox but not with IE. The blank window not closing in IE.
the button action is:

I'm setting up a Timeout/Interval in a function but the called function gets invoked only once (so mc._alpha = 1 in the end)! I've tried setting the timer variable as toplevel but that didn't help either.

I have an old Macromedia program - Authorware, that doe not like the SWF file output from the new CS Flash. I am able to go back to the old Flash version to get output that works - only 4-5 versions back - MX2004 or maybe CS.
I need to create an equivalent using timeline controls?
I was thinking of using a onEnterFrame. Have it loop till frame cycles hit the time I need i.e. 24 fps x 2sec = 48 frame cycles. then I would advance the main play head.

The Symptoms: pop ups intermittently blocked/let through from external interface and navigateToURL combinations.The Problem: Flash (or the browser..not sure) wont let pop ups be triggered outside of a time range and/or an event duration.The Environment: I have an app that needs to send data via zendAMF, do some processing and be sent back to the flash player. On the response, if certain conditions are met true - then trigger a pop open window. The same code that gets blocked on response, works directly from a mouse event trigger.So i set up a basic situation: 6 buttons, calling 3 methods. 3 buttons would call the method directly (all open the window perfectly) the other three would get the value of a numeric stepper, and use setTimeout(openWinMethod, NumericStepper.value) to simulate a delayed call from the zendAMF response.
UPDATE : if i select the 'navigateToURL, no delay' button first, close that window, then try any of the other delay calls - they work. its like the browser accepts that you have clicked to open a window at some point and therefore are allowed to call from a delay then on. (firefox only)All three using the delay would be blocked (firefox and chrome) whereas all three directly would open.afari - as well documented, would only work on the 2 methods using navigateToURLf interest: the js function in the html wrapper would be called be external interface to open a window. Without a delay this worked. With a delay, the js function would be called (as verified by some alert statements) but a new window was never spawned./popup/

I'm using this var timer2 = setTimeout(checkValue2, 2000);
as a frame action in Frame 2, which then triggers checkValue2 which is a piece of function in Frame 1 where all the _global. variables are as well.
clearTimeout(timer2);
gotoAndStop(3); //goto lvl3 - throw
addStage3();
it'd then goto Frame 3, but, the problem is even after clearing, the frame animation still loops every 2 seconds, regardless whether i'm using setTimeout or setInterval. Do you might know of any other way where what I need is, after 2 seconds in Frame 2, it'd then move to Frame 3, which I don't want it to go anywhere yet.

I need to be able to use a function to change a variable outside of it, and it seems like global scope and the like went out with 2.0 and I need to use 3.0.I would just have the function return a value, but I'm using an 'addEventListener' which has the event and then the function inside.
Example:
Code:
var finished = false;
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
function done(evt:Event) {
[code]....
How can variables be changed through a function when you can't set the scope or return a value through it?
