ActionScript 2.0 :: Store A Value To Use At A Later Time?
Mar 1, 2007
What I would like to know is, if someone has scored points on a game i'm creating - could that be stored as a "value" that could be displayed at the end of the game in another frame ?
Here's what I have at the moment
A dynamic box with the description and var of "score"
An action on a frame with the script:
score = 0;
A button that once clicked runs this action script (which adds to the score):
on (release) {
_root.score += 100;
}
Is there a way afterwards to get the total amount from "score" to be used elsewhere ?
There must be a kind person out there on the WWW who could spare me 5 mins and rescue me before I top myself! I have a movie clip on my stage with 8 buttons in it that all sequentially fade in via an alpha tween 0 to 100%. All the buttons simply link off to different URL's on click. What I want to do is when a button is clicked I want to store pressed along with the date and time it was pressed into a .csv file.
I'm doing an Image Cache following this method: [URL] I copied the two as classes, renaming them CachedImage and CachedImageMap. The thing is that I don't want to store the image after being loaded a first time, but while the application is being loaded. For that, I've created a function that is called by the application pre-initialize event. This is how it looks:
I've made an image gallery which loads images from an XML-specified folder. My function doGallery(urlPath); is using an URL-Path as an argument, which allows me to load new images and create a new gallery with these at runtime.The function will store loader objects in a gallery array, which is then cleared and overwritten once a new gallery with new images are made.So far so good. However it seems as if I have to re-download the same images as I have already once loaded, if I decide to go back to a previously visited gallery. I assume this is because I overwrite and clear the array which contains my previous loaders. Could anyone confirm this and possibly offer a solution? I hope I'm making myself clear enough for you to grasp my issue here.
I'm just trying to store a simple cookie that will remember the score for the next time the user plays the game (the score governs if an option is visible or not)It all works fine until I close browser/reload the page, at which point the shared object seems to disappear, any clues?
Write:
Code: var rem_score:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("score"); rem_score.data.score = new Number(score); rem_score.flush();
The problem prolly lies in my write code but ill post the reading aswell just incase there is a problem with that too
Code: var rem_score:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("score"); if (rem_score.data.score != undefined) { this.remdscore = rem_score.data.score; if (rem_score.data.score >=30) {
[code]...
There is another point it is read but it is the same sort of thing as the above.
I have this clock code and would like to know what needs to be added or changed for it to reference the time off the server and not the local computer time (and preferably reference the server just once and not repeatedly). I already have a file on the server "time.php" that is providing the milliseconds. I know it should be fairly simple, but I just can't wrap my head around it.
Both of these are saved in files with the name same as the classes.
Both are saved a folder which also contains an fla file name hello.fla.So,when test the movie(hello.fla),after choosing the document class as WavyBall,I get these errors: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Ball.
Source: var Ball:Ball; 1120: Access of undefined property stage. Source:Ball.x=stage.stageWidth/2; 1120: Access of undefined property stage. Source:Ball.y=stage.stageHeight/2; 5000: The class 'WavyBall' must subclass 'flash.display.MovieClip' since it is linked to a library symbol of that type.What is wrong?
I have a fairly complex animation movie clip within my main timeline in a Flash file. When you click a button, it plays the movie clip, then goes back out to the main timeline. The first time the movie clip runs, it plays choppy and slow, but if I play it two or more times, it plays correctly (smoothly). Is there some actionscript I need to preload the movie clip, or some other solution to the first-run slowness?
I'm testing Live streaming with FMSS. The stream is pushed to FMSS buy Adobe FMLE software. Streaming works fine until I reach 1300-1400 simultaneous connections.No matter what the encoding ratebit is (150kbps or 2000kbps) the stream is no longer play from time to time (5-8 seconds).
The CPU (2xIntel Quad) is loaded less than 20% and memory used is about 2 GB (there is plenty of memory installed 32G). The OS is RedHat 5.3 64bit platform. Network uplink maximum rate is 4Gbps.I disabled the Queue but the problem still persist.
I added in my application universal time, and I gave start and stop time. The process is going smoothly, but if I change my system (local) time, the entire time will be changed. Is there any solution to solve this problem?
I am working on a site that has a clock but it displays in military time, is there a way to change it to regular time. The following is the Action script:
I've loaded a video into the FLVPlayback component and I'm looking for a way to get the total time and the time played so far and output them to two text fields so the end result would look something like "00:12/00:50".
Right now I'm defining the video by the components inspector but I'm eventually hoping to define this bit by actionscript as well.
im making a flash upload thingy for my site, it has options to set the expiry time of the file, each time has a button which needs to be made from an array (which comes forma php script, not really relevent)... here is my code..
ActionScript Code: if (vars.options == undefined){[code]....
i know the x values are too small but they should still all appear on the stage right ?, only the final item in the array appears...i think i might be replacing the previous one with the new one.
Im using the FLVplayback component for a project im doing. I want to add the time elapsed and time left on the controls (just like how the player on the tutorials on this site works). I dont really want to create my own controls, as im happy with the flv playback component.
I am using this script inside of a movie clip called "TILE00".loadMovie("clips.swf", slot1)Now I duplicate this movie clip usingfor(i=1;i<=1000;i++){TILE00.duplicateMovieClip("TILE0"+i, i);}Now for some reason when the movie clip duplicates, it does not keep the the file "clips.swf" loaded insideWhat happens is each copy of the movie clip loads the file all over again.This causes major lag because it has to reload the same file 1000 times!!If there any way just to keep the file loaded?It would be great if something like this was possible:This in the main timeline:loadMovie("clips.swf", holder)This inside the movie clip:loadMovie(_root.holder, slot1)So that the file only has to load once
I am trying to create a history of the actions, perhaps stored in an array, I make in flash so that I can have a button that allows the user to go back to a previous action
I'm developing an AIR application and I need to store password there so user don't have to write it everytime when he launch the application. I want to ask you if you know some way how to store the password in no plain string. I can store it in the file but everybody can read it there... Is there any way how to encrypt and then decrypt saved password?
I'm developing a Flex app which is connected to a webservice - but I'm curious about what is generally best practice for handling the data locally. My webservice provides fairly small XML docs containing all the details about a certain object - is it considered better to parse that XML into objects for use in my UI, or just store the XML and access it directlyMy instincts say the former, though I'm sure doing a lot of parsing / encoding XML objects that I'm wondering if I shouldn't just add and remove elements when needed.
Right now I have need of several 56x5 grids of very simple information (0-9) in each slot-- I am just wondering what the most space-saving/easiest way of doing this is?
I could very easily make arrays for each grid, but it would take a lot of space. In the past when I had a similar problem and a lot of time on my hands I created (by hand) png files where each pixel had a separate color based on the information in that spot. I think this is a very good space saver but is very time consuming to create..
Is there a better option? Or is there an easy way to create the png files without wasting so much time painting them by hand?
I'm getting back into AS after a few years, and it's taking a bit to get used to the syntax of AS 3.0.
Anyway, I don't know the answer to the following in AS 2.0, so I wonder if it's even possible.
Basically, I want to know if there is a way to call a variable, the name of which is stored in another variable.
How would I write something like "NextToDisappear.alpha = 0;" and have it interpreted as "MC4.alpha = 0" instead of giving an error message complaining that variables don't have alpha properties?
In other words, is there a way to make it interpret a variable as its contents and not as itself when on the left side of an equals sign? Similar to the difference between quotes and no quotes when working with the contents of text variables.
I am new to AS3. I wanted to use attachMovieClip sort of thing in AS3. Basically I have a movieclip in library and the mc contains a textfield named "textName_txt" and I want to duplicate that movieclip with different text names. I have done it using an Array and for loop. Everything is working fine till now. But I want to trace the movieclip number when I click on the movieclips. For example, I want to trace 0 when I click on first movieclip then 1 for second movieclip etc.
We could do this easily using AS2 where we could provide an instance name for movieclips using AttachMovieClip. In AS3 I don't know how to store the value of i(for loops i). It is always tracing 3 (the last number) for i because the length of Array is 4.
I have a theoretical question about constructing a e-store in flash. There are some free ready-made shopping cart systems for flash that use PHP. Why exactly is the PHP script used? To avoid running out of stock?Im not very comfortable with PHP, so I wonder if it is possible to make a simple shopping cart system using variables. For example after pushing a button add to cart the price and quantity is added to certain vars, that can be used afterwards to send the client the bill via mail.
I would like to offer clients to choose between bill to mail and bank link. Could somebody also tell if the var system can be implemented in the bank link system with SSL security and stuff? I will hire a programmer to do the bank link system just don't want to run into unpleasent surprises when the programmer will take a look at my var system and start laughing.
i've a countdown flash and am reading the currentDate from client side ( user clock on windows ). i need to read the time from html for example and save it on var then strat time from it example: HTML Code:
I'm using ActionScript 2 and I already placed the progress bar on the stage assigned it the instance name ProgressBar0 but i'm confused on how to give it a label, have it start at a certain time and end at a certain and show the percentage complete in the label.
