ActionScript 2.0 :: Test Animations Using Arrays In Various Ways?
Feb 2, 2010
I've been playing around with some simple test animations using Arrays in various ways. One of them consists of 15 squares and I want them to grow and shrink as I mouse over them. I've gotten it to work with both Tween and onEnterFrame, but for some reason it will not work with setInterval. It's something to do with clearInterval. When I pass the i value to a new square the previous one stops where it is instead of continuing to grow and shrink. Tween and onEnterFrame don't have that problem at all. I've attached two fla files. The one using onEnterFrame works just fine. The setInterval one really doesn't work at all.

- I tried, when I first started making this site, to load all of the artwork images into an array and then copy the array before resizing them for their specific functions (being seen as thumbnails or as full size pics.) Unfortunately, I ran into the well known issue of Array cloning only creating a pointer to the same group of items. I tried the newArray = oldArray.slice() trick, but it didn't seem to work. Finally, I just loaded the images twice into two separate arrays, and it works, but I hate this solution. Anyone got a better one?
- I'm trying to maintain some sort of connection between the two sets of Arrays so that, for example, when someone clicks on Thumbnail 15, Fullsize Image 15 will open up but I couldn't find anything that worked. Renaming the Instance Name dynamically didn't seem to work and adding an Instance Variable dynamically doesn't seem possible either as I can't make the Class I am working with (Sprite, in this case) dynamic ahead of time. I'm sure there's a simple method for this.opens up, the different animations seem to interfere with each other and slow each other down (they also seem to get interference from the time taken to load the image Arrays.)

I am using AS2 in CS5.5.I am creating a project for a class that introduced me to adobe flash. The issue is I have gotten to a certain point about 15 scenes. During say the 15th scene scrolling through the timeline animations works fine, playing it on test scene works fine. When I go to play it on test movie it stops at a certain point. At first I thought it might have been a misplaced stop action but there is none to be found. The weird part is every other scene I create after that continues to freeze as well, the images are there, but the animations won't play. All my previous animations play before those with the issue, it's justThese new ones won't play for some reason in test movie, but work completely fine in test scene and the timeline.

I'm just beginning to learn AS3 and I've been reading Colin Moock's Essential ActionScript 3.0.(I've been doing some exercises on how to randomly choose elements from arrays). All of the book's example codes that I've tried so far (in FLASH CS5) seem to work pretty well. But I'm having a bit of problem with the example code below which is found in chapter 11 (Arrays):
var row1:Array = [6, 2.99]; // Quantity 6, Price 2.99
var row2:Array = [4, 9.99]; // Quantity 4, Price 9.99
var row3:Array = [1, 59.99]; // Quantity 1, Price 59.99[code]....
When I test the movie the output panel displays NaN instead of 117.89.

The first piece of it is here:[URL]..You'll see it's kind of wack right now, bc I can't figure this one issue out...

I'm trying to test a custom Flex 4 skinnable component, using the FlexUnit UIImpersonator class. If I run my tests from a FlashBuilder Spark only project everything works fine. If I try to test from a project with the mx component set on the classpath I get a "getElementIndex not available in non Flex 4 projects" error.Can I unit test spark components in FlexUnits visual test environment while still having the mx component set on the classpath?
UIImpersonator delegates it's method calls to a "testEnvironment".The implementation used for this "testEnvironment" is decided by the VisualTest EnvironmentBuilder class and the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class. If the FlexEnvironmentBuilder class can find the "mx.core.Container" on the classpath it returns a MX environment, else a Spark environment. Only the spark environment has valid implementations for Flex 4 relevant method calls on the UIImpersonator - like the addElement method.

I'm trying to make an animation possible to play in two different ways. The first one is to play animation from beginning to end without stopping The second one is an interactive way - something like slideshow made in powerpoint. My idea was to use gotoAndPlay() function with stop() function. It doesn't work the way as I expect. For instance - I've one animation made of 500 frames. It makes up some 10 slides. If I put after every 50 frames stop() function then it's impossible to play this animation from beginning to end without stopping because of stop(). How to handle this? It would be nice if there was a function to indicate to play between some frames. For example, start playing from 1 until 50, then stop. Then start playing from 52 until 100 and stop .... then from 450 to 500. Besides that from 1 to 500.

This should be very simple: I want to fade-in a Movieclip (called MC1) using Actionscript.I normally use this (and it works just fine):
[AS]
this.MC1._alpha = 0;
this.MC1.onEnterFrame = function()
{
[code]....
Well, even though I can see the alpha values decreasing step by step (throughout the "trace" instruction), the fact is that the MC does not fade-in at all, it's just starts at a 100% alpha value.How comes this illogical behaviour? The instruction "trace" shows what it should do, but Flash does not fade it in.

I work for the NPS, and they have an outdated CMS. I have no rights to upload an .html file, or edit one that the CMS makes. SO, I am forced to use their little deal to display my .swf files. url...I made an eHike in as3 Flash CS4. It has two scenes, the first scene is the preload, second is splash content and ehike content. The problem is I cant get the preloader to display in IE. I have all actionscript content exported to the second frame, as talked about here:[code]I have tried many different ways to load the preloader.there is a simple text field for the percentage, and a simple 100 frame animation. preloader_mc.[code]The CMS lets you decide in the popup window if it is resizeable or not. This works in IE (stopping people from resizing), but not in firefox, people can resize it. Is there any way to disable the resize in AS3? Again, I understand that your supposed to export the .html file with these settings, but I have no permissions to upload or create new .html files.

My buttons only work when I click on them on the stage while having the "enable simple buttons" option on. They do not work if I try to "test movie," "test scene" and publish it to a SWF. Nothing responds whenever I am in these modes. I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript 2.0.
This is the code that I put in for the buttons:

I have a 30 second long animation (18fps). Movie symbol 135 frames long which loop 4 times using countTextField/if/else etc. and then gotoAndStop on a static frame. According to the company that are posting it on their site, the animation doesn't stop.
Are there any other ways of completely stopping an animation?

One thing i've learned in VBA, is there are multiple ways to skin a cat in Excel. I want this:
Only, I'm rather frustrated with trying to convert my AS1 coded template into the AS3 for the day. So I'm guessing I can't use the UiLoader like in the video unless i'm missing some checkbox somewhere.
Any one now how to do the similar thing only using AS1 and in "for dummies" language please?
So far this community rocks with the feedback and help. I'm sure some genious knows.

I'm building a historical timeline app in Flash. The main feature will be an MC containing links to specific event in the history of an organization. The MC will scroll, and there will be a couple ways to scroll it. One type of navigation will be fwd/backward buttons, and I want them to work such that if the button is pressed and held, an MC containing links will scroll w/increasing speed (up to a limit), but if the button is clicked, it will just move the MC a specified amt.
An example of what I want to accomplish can be seen it this HP timeline: [URL]

I have two scenes in my flash file and in scene 1, first button takes you to frame 2 where movie clip is -works
on (release) {
gotoAndStop("scene1",2);
}
second button takes you to frame 3
but on scene 2 that performs same function as scene 1, the first button
on(press){
gotoAndStop("scene2",2);
}
instead of going to frame 2 goes to frame 3. and the second button goes correctly to frame 3.that happens when i test scene! when i test movie all buttons work properly.

ActionScript allows you to mark a variable as [Bindable], causing any changes to that variable to have immediate effect all over your application.How would you implement this feature in your favourite programming language?

anywhoo i have minimal actionscript training tho i know a bit... im trying to make an Item system were i make an object like a key or a helmet... and if i collide with it it disapears. and i get the item, then somewhere put _root.playerMC.standing.gotoAndPlay ("item"); .. maybe in the item i dunno..
so basically i set my characters up like playerMC then in that animation i have a body head arms and legs.. and in those i have different items equipped on each body part on each frame how should i set this up!!!.. i cant call those items deep in the animation the farthest i can go is like Playermc.gotoandplay ("walk") when i try to do like.. playermc.walking.head.gotoandplay ("item") it doesnt work..

Ive got some high level questions about vector graphics. From what I understand, when you draw stuff in the Flash IDE, you are creating vector graphics. Is there any way to view the actual XML (or whatever code) that is generated 'under the hood' ? Is there any way to save the drawing as a .SVG file or something? Ive looked at a few free SVG drawing tools, but I'm wondering why not just use Flash directly, instead of creating my vector drawing in a separate program, and then trying to import it ?
Im thinking of different ways to build maps/levels for my flash game, and right now I'm thinking that building the levels out of vector shapes seems to offer the best features in terms of fast/easy collision detection, fast map creation, small level size, etc.The problem is, once I draw a level in Flash, how do I break the individual shapes apart (rectangles, lines, circles, whatever), into useable pieces I can use in the code? For example suppose I simply draw a big rectangle for a super-simple level. How do I grab the coordinates of the corners for use in my actionscript code? And how do I determine that the shape is a rectangle, and not a general polygon or just an unclosed set of lines?
For example I imagine the SVG code for a rectangle looks something like this:RECT 120, 60, 400, 500
But where can I grab that text from using actionscript, If I drew that rectangle in the flash authoring tool?

In FlexUnit 1 it is possible to access the name of the currently-running test using the TestCase.getName() method because all tests subclass TestCase. In FlexUnit 4, however, there's no base class for tests; the tests are identified by annotations. So, how can I replicate the getName() functionality in FlexUnit 4?

I am running into some trouble adding an array into another array to create a multi-dimensional array.The code appears as below:
var slideDataArray:Array = new Array();
var slideShowDataArray:Array = new Array();
slideDataArray[0] = xmlData.SlideShowParameters.SlideShowImagesDirectory;[code]........
I am looking for a means of placing the slideDataArray into a 'slot' or value of slideShowDataArray so that I can in the end pass the slideShowDataArray as a parameter to another function.As of now, the last slideDataArray appears 11 times (the loop runs 11 times) in slideShowDataArray and the way the code is written the slideDataArray is unique every iteration of the loop.

i'd like to create a single movieclip that responds to the same input (mouse click) in two different ways: if playhead is on frame labeled "one" go to frame labeled "two", otherwise if playhead is on frame labeled "two" go to frame labeled "one". i've tried if/else and switch statements with no success - what's a good approach to doing this?
