I'm currently building a Flash Game for my work. I made a switch to check if my items fell into the right bucket. But when I was developing all my other functions I realized that I could handle this in an If Else instead...So the question is: What is faster (less CPU intensive), a switch or If Else?Here is my switch:
Code:
function getPoints(naam,orgNaam,baksoort):Void {
switch(baksoort){
case "bak_B01":[code]....
What I'm trying to do is create a program that, depending on 2 variables, multiplies another variable by a static number. Heres the code I have so far:
[Code]...
I want this on an MC:
[AS]
i = 0;
switch(thing){
case 0:
[code]....
Basically what I'm wondering is, will I lose the value of i in the first switch once I'm out of the switch? Can the second switch read the 1st switch?

how I can switch between different songs?The idea is that an animation will loop continuously (graphic, not a movieclip), and there is one button that will allow the user to change the background music.
View 1 RepliesI followed a tutorial about how to create a simple website. The buttons i've created SHOULD fade out the current page and fade in the new page. In it's current state it fades out the m1 instance (mainmenu_mc) but won't fade in the new page selected(p1,p2,p3orp4). After it's faded out if i click in the same area the button was the mainmenu_mc page flashes onto the screen. and when i let go of clicking it, dissapears again.
Code:
var m1:mainmenu_mc =new mainmenu_mc;
var p1:page1 =new page1;
var p2:page2 =new page2;[code]......
I am trying to create a weekly calendar. I have a 'switch' statement that shows the week dates and the name of month the week relates too. I have three functions
1. takes the pc date and converts it into the day of the year. eg between 1 and 365
2. it takes the day from 1. and assoicates it to the week number eg 1 - 52
3. functions that are associated with a previous and next button that use the current week number based on the pc date and count up and down.
This is where I have come unstuck. This is the code for my 'next' button.
Code:
function onClickNext(event:MouseEvent)
{
if(currentWkNum != 53)

I am a pretty good programmer in as3 - but I don't know OOP. -- and I am not so good that I don't have a ton learn -- when I look at all the differnt script commands I know my knowledge is tiny. I am now at the point where I could look at a website and make a pretty good attempt at coppying it and most my programming is dynamic driven. So I was wondering by making the leap to OOP would I have relearn a lot of what I know -- and what are the advantages

View 6 Replieshow I could create a switch in Flash. I have the movieclip, but I don't really know how to program it. I want it to work something like: if hitTest with "char" (our character) and the user is pressing space then gotoandstop(2);. Obviously, that's just the basic idea of how the switch would work EDIT: Here's my current code:

View 3 RepliesI've been having a problem for the past month or so, and for the life of me I can't work out how to switch off the pen tool I have in actionscript. I have the following code in frame 2, and frame one doesn't have anything, meaning it doesn't allow the user to draw. However, after returning to frame 1 from frame 2, you can still draw. Is there anyway to turn off this drawing actionscript completely when going back to the first frame?

How would I switch between 2 sounds in Actionscript?I need something where depending on a Boolean, a certain song is playing (a loop) and every time you switch, it saves the time so when you go back,instead of it starting at the beginning,it starts where last stopped.Say I was playing Sound one and stopped it at 0:25.And when I went back to Sound one it started at 0:25.
View 2 RepliesI have made a button to function like a switch in that it has both an on and off state. However, I can only get it to switch between the on and off state once when it's pressed, with nothing happening after it has been turned off.The code is as follows:
Code:
switch1.onPress = function() {
switch1.gotoAndStop("on");
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {

is there a way to make it so that the switch works continuously, not just one time?
I need to replace some text - it's actually a bunch of textInput area data captured and placed together {inputArea1.text}{inputArea2.text} style - and have it placed in an mx:Text text="{inputArea1.text}{inputArea2.text}".So I have the smart idea to pull a switch case, where the case condition is the id of the canvas and it's pulling from the textInput areas.My output from the aforementioned string into my text just yields: Code:function Function() {}I complete this, I can sleep.
View 11 Repliesi do not possess any knowledge in using of scenes and i got a proj which requires me do so and i been using the alpha-ing and tweens to do the button switching its really tiring and confusing

never really used checkBoxes much and wondering what the best AS2 is to use one as a "switch" ?
i.e. place a checkbox which is default unchecked and if the user checks it {do something} and if the user then unchecks it {undo that something}.
I'm thinking about the _alpha of a button or an MC as an example / test.
Check the box: anMC = _alpha 100, unchceck the same box: anMC = _alpha 50.
I'm happy either way with code on the checkbox or an even listener on a frame (preferred) but would like to learn how to use checkBoxes as a switch.
In this example, is there anyway to fade in and out 'mcContactAmer' and 'mcY' as well as place them at specific coordinates, other than externally load them as swfs? This is the only thing holding me back from moving forward on this project and my boss would like to move forward,
View 3 RepliesI am working in CS4 and am trying to use AS3.0 to make buttons that go to different scenes. I am not using "Scene 2" in my AS; instead, I am labeling frame 1 of Scene 2 and am using that frame label in my coding.
Unfortunately I cannot get it to work properly. I am about 8 hours into trying to fix it and cannot seem to get it resolved.
I have attached the .fla file for your reference. I have also pasted my AS coding below in case it is a simple thing (probably not!). The movie needs to stop at a certain frame so the buttons are available for the users.
stop();

If I trace vidList[currentIndex].video before the switch I get "city" but tracing vid after the switch I get null Quickly solved by just assigning to a variable and then using that in the switch... but it still seems odd I can't just do it directly.
