ActionScript 2.0 :: Update The Number On The Screen?
Sep 2, 2011
I have a question: I want to create a game in which you should find 100 diamonds. Every time you find a diamond, it enters to the inventory and the numbers of founded diamonds is updated on the screen.How do I update the number on the screen?On Adobe Flash ofcourse
I have four event handlers that are fired sequentially after four different process have been completed. After each complete process I want to change the value in a text box on the stage. I put break statements at all the lines where I want to change the value of the text box. The program stops at the right breakpoints in the correct order. The problem I have is that when I remove the breakpoints and run the app normally the textbox does not update after each process.
At the end of the fourth process the textbox is filled with the four lines of text from each event handler. Why is my text box not updating after each event and only after the last event when clearly from my breakpoints it executing the text update code in the correct order??
I'm not 100% sure thats the problem, but It seems so. One other thing it could be, is maybe the screen doesnt update untill an event listener has completely finished?
Anyway here is my problem: My app does some pretty heavy calculations when the user clicks on a certain button. From testing, the calculation can take up to 3 seconds to complete. What I want to happen is, as soon as the user clicks the button, a "please wait" appears in the middle of the screen. 3 seconds later, after the calculations have completed, the "please wait" sprite disappears again.
However I cant seem to make that happen. Right now, when the user clicks the button, the please wait sprite does not show up at all. Using trace statements I'm pretty sure whats actually happening is, after the 3 seconds of calculations, the please wait sprite is set to visible and then invisible at essentially the same time, so you dont actually get to see it on screen.
Heres the code:
Code: private function mouseDownListener(e:MouseEvent):void { pleaseWaitSprite.visible = true; trace("now visible");
[code]....
The trace statements "now visible" and "now invisible" show up at exactly the same time in the output window, even though there is 3 seconds of calculations between them. I guess the same thing is happening with the visible code.
Ive tried e.updateAfterEvent() but not surprisingly that didnt help. I think I need something more like e.updateDuringEvent() ... ?
It pulls a library item out of the library and puts it on stage programmatically. No big deal, except that in order to get the image displayed on the screen to actually update, I had to removeChild() and then addChild() it back. Is there another way to force the screen to redraw?
Adobe help document said, "When a component calls an invalidation method, it signals to Flex that the component must be updated. When multiple components call invalidation methods, Flex coordinates updates so that they all occur together during the next screen update."
I would like to be able to load a number of images, one after another on screen. each image will be visible for a set length of time (I would like to speed this up or down at a later date) Also I would like the option of making the images fade from one to the next.
i created a movie that gets a certain number of nodes from an xml file and places them randomly on the screen. The only thing is, that it does them at the same time. i want them each to be placed seperatly on the stage, getting faster as the movie progresses.
I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers. Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin. But now my Problem: After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working) I figured the Updater works like this: First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins. First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled. But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error. This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before) How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
I've got a movieclip, which has got a dynamic text element.The movieclip uses a package for its codeThe package if obviously derived from the MovieClip classI've got a timer, that updates the dynamic text field every second.When debugging the code, I see that the timer works well. Its updates the value of the dynamic text field.

I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.
Inside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
I'm trying to create a shuffle button for my mp3 player. I don't want it to repeat any song in the xml playlist until all the songs are played. Is there to display a random number on the click of a button, without repeating any number in the array until all the numbers in the array are used?
