For some reason when i test the movie the trace part displays in the output without me even clicking on my_button?
PHP Code:
my_button.onPress = function() { _root.clicked = true; } if (clicked == true;) { trace("clicked is true"); }
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.
I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 for the first time to try and make an animation set to music (like the opening scene of an anime). I need to listen to specific portions of the song so that I can match the timing of my animations.
I know that you can press Enter and it'll Play, but I don't know how to start listening to the music at the frame I want. I also don't know how to stop the music once it starts playing.
I also know I can do Ctrl+Enter to Test Movie, but that always starts playing my animation from the very beginning.
I want to know how to watch/listen to a specific part of the animation, without having to play it stop to finish.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

I'm quite new to AS3 (coming from php/c#) and like it very much. My problem: trace doesn't output anything in the Output window anymore?!

View 3 RepliesI'm running FMS 4 Dev on my win XP SP3 machine, also running flash cs5 professional on same machine. I get the server admin screen to come up and it says it's running. I'm using a tut book on FMS and trying to run the first script in the book. It's long but I'll add the script at the bottom so you can see what i'm doing. In the server app folder I placed another folder called vid2 with nothing in it just like the book told me to do. I wrote the script line for line out of the book. When I test my movie it lays out my video window and buttons. It diplays my ugly mug on the screen. when I press the record button it does nothing. when i press the stop button the output window shows me an error of "#1009 can't access properties or methods of a null object". I assume that this is telling me I do not have a net connection.
when I types in the example it had an IP address in the code.How do I know the correct IP addy to my dev server? If I'm doing development and testing on the same machine do I even need to know this? 2) How will what I'm doing now differ from leasing space from an FMS provider?
the script:
package{ import fl.controls.Button; import fl.controls.TextInput; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.net.NetConnection; import flash.net.NetStream; import flash.events.NetStatusEvent; import flash.events.MouseEvent; [code].....
I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?
View 5 RepliesI have multiple simple audio players displayed on the screen, each contained in an HBox. Each audio player has a Waveform, a Container that displays a waveform Shape that is drawn from samples.
The issue I've been having is that in one part of the program, where multiple audio players are just added to a tab from top to bottom, the waveform displays fine, as well as the bar that tracks the current position of the audio playing (a child of WaveForm). However, in the main part of the interface, where audio players are indented such that each audio player has a visible "child" audio player that can be expanded/hidden, the WaveForms don't display at all.
The strange thing is that these sound player objects are being created by the main tab where the waveform isn't displayed, and are occasionally sent to the other tab where the waveform works - they're the exact same objects, and the WaveForm objects retain the same parameters and visibility etc when they're passed, they just aren't drawn. In the tab where they aren't being drawn, the only additional parent graphical component is an HBox containing all of the sound players - I can't figure out for the life of me if I'm missing some sort of parameter or what.
how to test part of a flash movie? Command + Enter will prompt the SWF which starts form the beginning but I want to start from a specific frame. If I just press enter it it plays in the timeline, but without showing the nested animation of sprites or playing the sound.

View 2 Repliescan i trace just part of an e.target.name? I'm using an array to create multiple instances on stage of a movie clip. so for example, i have "apple1", "apple2", "apple3", etc. So if i pick up "apple1" and trace the e.target.name, i'll get "apple1". but what if i just want to trace just the "apple" part? Can I ask AS3 just to read the first 5 characters (in the big picture i want to compare items in a drag and drop type game)? I'm not 100% sold that this is the best approach of how I want to do this...but now curiosity has me at least interested.

I am not sure even what to call this but if I have set a text field value and other various values with functions in AS3 to where I can trace the values in the output panel. How do I then capture that data to be sent to fields in a shopping cart? Make sense?

View 6 RepliesI'm developing an applications which I've got running on a server on my linux desktop. Due to the shortcomings of Flash on Linux (read: too hard) I'm developing the (small) flash portion of the app in Windows, which means there's a lot of frustrating back and forth. Now I'm trying to capture the output of the flash portion using flash tracer and that is proving very difficult also. Is there any other way I could monitor the output of trace on linux?
View 6 Replieswhy this works
[Code]...
i need to know the type of variable in the output with the trace(), so it could be something like so
[AS]var outputVar:String = new String();
outputVar = "this is a string";
trace (outputVar == String);[/AS]
well, i thought this was possible, but something must be wrong...
I am extremely new to as3 and just have started coding in as3. I have the following code in a001.as file
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class FirstCode extends Sprite {
public function FirstCode() {
trace("yes");
}}}
It seems extremely simple and I feel very positive that there is no error in this code.
And this line in a001.fla
Code:
import as3.a001;
The .as file is in as3 folder so I think the import should work fine. The one (and only) problem (that could arise) is that the trace leaves nothing in the output window. I tried various other codes instead of this but to no avail. None work. Its just a blank screen. By the way I have Flash CS4.
i have a drag and drop exercise that will output a value based on the drop positions of 2 points. What I would like is to be able to add a button that basically has a whole new set of outputs based on the same drop positions. Here is an example. If I place an object on drop target 1 and 3. The output says something like "good job". Now if I click a button and place and object on 1 and 3 the output would say "try again".
