ActionScript 2.0 :: Two Functions That Are Called, ExpandButton() And ShrinkButton(), Will Not Execute?
Jul 15, 2004
I currently have a class that has a method that creates new duplicates of a clip on the screen, changes some of their properties (such as color, and text display), and then arranges them in a straight column.Inside that method, I have some clipEvent Statements for each button.
Code:
currentButton.onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha = 70;
expandButton(this);[code]....
Now, the two functions that are called, expandButton() and shrinkButton(), will not execute. (they are other functions built into this class.)

Why can't I execute an anonymous function directly, like:[code]The trace statement should output 'hello', but it just outputs 'undefined'. This is supposed to work in JavaScript (according to Mr Douglas Crockford). I thought Actionscript was compatible with JavaScript in this regard...

My needs are to execute a javascript whitout calling any external function of the html file when a flash button is clicked. I need to obtain the effect that happen when the user put in his address bar the text javascript:"alert("Hello World!"); and press enter I need to do this whitout calling any external functions, whitout calling anything in the html file, all just with the swf. Of course the script that i must call is another than javascript:"alert("Hello World!"); but let's begin with this easy script and when working i can thikn to implement the complex one
i tried this
ActionScript Code:
on(release)
{
function runJS(script:String):Void {
[Code]...
but is not working, i get a syntax error, maybe cuse of the " in "Hello World!"
I want to ask if what i need to do is possible and, if yes, why my AS code is not working.

I have some functions that when applied directly to buttons work as planned, but when I create a function from them to apply to the array, they fail to execute properly. This function is meant to set all 56 buttons to alpha 0, and as unselected. What happens is the buttons flash onscreen at 100% before setting to alpha 0. They do behave as if unselected, but don't know if that's due to the code.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onEnterFrame = function() {
this._alpha = 0;
this.bSelected = false;
this.onEnterFrame = null;
}}
This function should fade the button up on rollover. But on rollover the button only increase by 10% then stops. Each subsequent rollover increases it another 10%.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onRollOver = function() {
this._alpha<100 ? this._alpha += 10 : this.onEnterFrame = "";
}}
This function should fade the button out on rollout. Since the rollover increases them only by 10% increments (above), the result is the buttons just bounce back and forth between alpha 20 and 30.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onRollOut = function() {
(this._alpha>20 && this.bSelected==false) ? this._alpha -= 10 : this.onEnterFrame = "";
}}
Last one: This function should set several behaviors on release. Right now none of them appear to work.
Code:
for (_root.i = 0;i<56;i++){
_root["btn"+_root.i].onRelease = function() {
this.bSelected = true;
this.enabled = false;
pastBtn.enabled = true;
pastBtn._alpha = 20;
pastBtn.bSelected = false;
pastBtn = this;
}}

This is my first real programming endeavor and this is the last thing holding my little project back from being a success.
My goal with this code is to add event listeners to an array of Movie Clips that will drag and drop them on the stage.
Here is the code:
var itemBank:Array = new Array(d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_1, d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_2);
for(var i:int = 0; i < itemBank.length; i++) {

I'm having some weirdness with a project that I'm doing in IE. Long story short, I've got a basic shell that loads in external SWFs based on user feedback. Once those SWFs get loaded in, they execute functions from the shell (_root) movie. It works great in Firefox, but immediately breaks (no way) in IE. The movie gets loaded in, but none of the functions run.
I suspect it has something to do with security, because, for a variety of reasons, I have to load the SWFs from their absolute location, rather than their relative location. When I test it locally (but loading the movies from their absolute, live location), everything still works, but I get that damn security warning that reads like this:

This probably is not possible however its worth a try! Would there be anyway to trace out the functions that are being called by the SWF? for example.[code]I know you could simply add a trace into the actual functions but thats not an option!

Is there a way to do that without using a bunch of "if" or "switch" statements, like shoving them all in an array?I have a rough idea of how it would work, but I have no idea how it would look in code.And just to clarify,I mean an order than can be changed.Otherwise I wouldn't need to think about this at all.

How would I go about evaluating an array of strings as function calls?Something like this:
ActionScript Code:
var my_mc:MovieClip;
var myArray:Array = new Array("function1()", "function2()", "function3()");[code]....
I get an error "Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor".In this case, I'm trying to dynamically add linked movie symbols from the library. Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way... ?

I have a function that I want called when different mc's are rolled over.
img_hover = function (n){
_root.icap = _root.i+(eval(n))+_caption;[code].....
The "n" is an interger (ex. 1-200) that I need passed to this function with the rollover of an mc:
on (rollOver) {
_root.img_hover.apply('1');
}
I can't get this to work. I'm not sure of the proper way to pass the n value to the function in the img_hover.apply() code.The function should produce the following (ex. with n=23):
img_hover = function (n){
_root.icap = _root.i23_caption;
_root.idate = _root.i23_date;[code]...........

Imagine I have Class A that is listening to an Event on Class B. This listener will call Method X in the Class A. Inside Method X, "this" refers to the Instance of Class B, I'm not in the context of Class A. Isn't this a bit awkward, or am I getting everything wrong? Is there a way to make the listener call my method in the context of A?

I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

I started making my first complex game and ran into a problem that made me just stop everything I was doing and I have laid the project to rest until I can find out how to fix it.The problem is simple. I have a timer in a public class. The timer is private, but the function to start the timer is public. Only one class calls it. But as soon as the program starts, the timer function executes.Now that aside, why are some public functions being called at the time of the program being executed? The class that executes the function isn't even called until later/instantiated.

in my application, I did some trace statements of a file For example if(oldFile.parent.toString()!=file.parent.toString()) There are some other file print statements , and it seems to encounter this error stated below.

The code I'm building creates two MovieClips on the stage, in one it instantiates several text boxes and in the other some buttons.
What I can't do is access data from the text boxes (e.g. textField.text) for use in the functions called by the eventListeners attached the buttons. I had the system all working nicely before I placed the text boxes and the buttons on separate movie clips.but this structure makes it much tidier to refresh the text I'm using.The button functions are fine with variables created prior to the building of the text boxes.
Am I failing to address the text boxes correctly (because they're on another movie clip) or is there a stage / movie clip property I need to set so they can see each other ... or is this something else altogether?Could it be that the buttons are created before the text boxes?

I want to load an external swf called 'signs.swf' into an empty mc called 'signholder'.
var loadit2 = new Loader();
loadit2.load(new URLRequest("signs.swf"));
signholder.addChild(loadit2);
Everything works. Cool. But, I now want to target something within the signs.swf. How do I do it though? What is the path? Do I have to give the child of signholder an instance name? Everything I try fails.
If I wanted the root timeline of the external swf to gotoAndPlay(2) for example,...would i say...
signholder.loadit2.gotoAndPlay(2) ???
var wow:MovieClip = loadit2.content as MovieClip;
wow.gotoAndPlay(2) ????

When I place some codes in a keyframe, these codes are showing on all the following frames up till the next keyframe with codes. My question is, does Flash execute codes only in the keyframe or it execute whatever is in the frame regardless whether its a keyframe or not?

I have a wordpress based site that stores information about an image in a database field called "background" in a table called "wp_postmeta".The 'loader' gets an url such as "/thisImage/background.swf"The "background.swf" should somehow display "background.jpg" instead but since I've changed the field name in the database (from background to temp_background) it doesn't work.I pass variables to the "loader" swf and they are correct based on the new field name but it still isn't working.I need to know if there is anything in the .fla's (and therefore the .swfs) that is pointing to somewhere in the database hard-coded. Basically I need someone to look at them and tell me how they are working.

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?
