ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To SetProperty Deprecated?

Jun 21, 2010

I have read this a few times, however, I never really understood the alternative. Please help me understand.How would I, without SetProperty, change the _alpha of a movieclip defined by a variable.With setProperty I would define the variable(which obviously will be changing, therefore a variable is needed):var movieClip = "_root.someMovieClip_mc"setProperty(movieClip, _alpha , 50)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Why Is Random() Deprecated

Aug 16, 2005

I always simply use random() for calculating random numbers, since I read one of 's best. And I like it a lot. Only to generate a float of random numbers I use Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1)) + min

So, this time I had to use both in one script, and I had it checked by a friend who is a way better developer as I am (as far as I'm a developer ).He advised me to leave the random() behind.I replied that there is no reason to, since it sometimes really is a hassle to use "Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min+1)) + min" when u simply want a random number. "And it's way faster!", I added.

"I know, I know", he said, "but it's deprecated". Why is it deprecated??? It has 2 advantages: it's shorter and it calculates faster. So I don't understand why people at MM put it at the deprecated elements.I will keep using random() for sure... cuz imo both random() and that other code have their advantages.

Actionscript 3 :: Disable Deprecated Warnings In Flex 3?

Aug 31, 2009

I've recently started working with an application written using Adobe Flex 3. We're using several deprecated functions and unfortunately we can't remove these dependencies.

The documentation says to set -show-deprecated-warnings=false into the Compiler Additional Options. This isn't accepted, but I've found that using -show-deprecation-warnings=false will be accepted by the dialog, but gives an error about declaring the option twice when I try to compile the project.

Ideally, I'd like a way to disable the warning on a case-by-case basis. disable the warnings either per-file, per-project or globally?

Flex :: Difference Between SetProperty And RemoveChild

Jun 15, 2011

When state is changed, we can define the new properties for the new state overidding the properties of the base state.

But, I had a doubt. What is the difference between using setProperty() and removeChild() in Flex ?

Take the following case.
Suppose there are 2 Vbox inside the application container. When the state is changed by some event, I need only 1 VBox in the appln container.

(a) Should I set setProperty for that particular VBox of width and height to 0 ? or (b) Should I remove the VBox from the new state by using removeChild() property ?

ActionScript 2.0 :: SetProperty Doesn't Work?

Jul 16, 2010

I'm trying to do something pretty simple: I am duplicating a movie clip and setting the _x and _y properties of the duplicate. The reason it is driving me up the wall is that the code works if I export for Flash Player 6, but not for anything later, and according to the sites I've read this code should work. I don't want to get into this project (which is big) and find out later that I can't export for such an old player.Here's the code:

Code:
function createBalls(ballNum) {
var newClipName:String = "ball" + ballNum;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Using SetProperty Function In Masked Layer

Jul 12, 2002

I'm having some problems setting _x and _y positions of a movie clip attached (into a clip on a masked layer) using attachMovie. The code should position the clips icon1-8 on the y axis (100 pixels Ipart). The destination movie clip (the one with the actions) resides in a masked layer, I remember reading that there were some problems with masked layers in version 5. (i'm using flash MX). The movie clip is _root.openwindow.files

onClipEvent (load) {
for (var counter=1; counter<9; ++counter) {
this.attachMovie("icon", "icon"+counter, counter);
this["icon"+counter]._x= 37;
this["icon"+counter]._y=counter*100;
}}

I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with the code.. as it works outside the masked layer..

Media Server :: SharedObject - SetProperty/getProperty No Change?

Feb 15, 2012

I can't seem to get setProperty to affect any change detectable by getProperty, or any other means.
 
* Can you please help me find and fix the problems in my code? Also, it would be great if you could provide a snippet of code to both read/write to the SO from the Flash swf client, and changes required in the FMS server-side code to receive events onSync from another FMS server (also sending to another FMS server.. I know it should be very similar in theory).

ActionScript 3.0 :: SetProperty Method Only Applicable To Remote SharedObject?

Jan 25, 2011

Is the setProperty method only applicable to remote shared objects and not to local shared objects? The following code works fine:
Code:
web_so.setProperty("web", "someURL");
trace(username_so.data.Name);

Where 'web_so' was earlier declared as a remote shared object. When the above line of code is parsed, the bbc website opens in the browser and the trace statement get's printed in the output cosole. However if I were to replace the web_so...code witht the following:
Code:
username_so.setProperty("web", "someURL");
trace(username_so.data.Name);

Where 'username_so' was earlier declared as a local shared object. The trace statements prints out fine, but the brower dosent fire up at all. Which makes me wonder if the 'setProperty' method is something unique to remote shared objects, but I dont see the API mentioning that.

Unable To Export As .swf?

Dec 18, 2009

I am a high school teacher, attempting to teach a few simple animations in Flash. The only action script students have written is the stop action in the last frame. I have one student, though, who has drawn a snowman and a tree using oval and paintbrush tools. Every time she tries to export as .swf (or pressing Ctrl+Enter) the progress bar stops half-way and sits. She's waited 5 minutes and hasn't had any luck. Her .fla file is only 1 mb so I don't think it's a memory issue. Is there anything else that's keeping her file from being unable to export as .swf?  The compressed checkbox is on in the export options.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To Play The FLV

Apr 12, 2010

The problem is I have an MC in the library the gets attached to the stage dynamically and when that happens, my FLV doesn't play. I thought perhapse it was a matter of the FLV being loaded under the other MC but I've tried "swapdepths" to move it to the top, and I've tried "removeMovieClip" to get rid of the other clip to show the FLV.

Nothing seems to work. All my trace statments are trigering so I know the function is working properly (except getting the video to play).

// Create a NetConnection object
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
// Create a local streaming connection
my_nc.connect(null);
