Something I've always wondered, but never got round to asking is should I use...
Code:
}
... or...
Code:
};
... at the end of a code block? What's the difference as I've seen both used but no explanation as to why?
How do we make an entire block of code (maybe 10 lines) as comment.
Maybe just to deactivate a code block when trouble shooting AS code.
I want a movieclip to appear in a drag and drop game. When you successfully drag the right object and drop it then an animation is called from the library.The animation doesn't appear. However, when I use the same code at the beginning of my programme it does appear so it's not that part of the code that is the problem. Also, a trace statement does trace so it is running the code.[code]...

Having done some programming in Groovy, I know you can write test code in the Groovy console. I classify this as true a scripting language as it doesn't force you to have a class definition. So I'd assume with a name like ActionScript with 'script' in it's name that, you can write a series of statements that act linearly, such as a sequence of variables assignments, their manipulation and dumping out a value.
My question is if this is possible, how do you go about doing it, in order to test some code with ActionScript3? Does the code have to exist in a package?Can the code exist on it's own? (If so, what would the name be you'd give to the source file in order to compile it from the command line?
Would you use mxmlc?
Would you use compc?
I've heard about fsch too. How about that?I also read about a command called 'asc' in R.Braunstein's AS3 Bible 2nd ed (P8), but don't even see this in the SDK bin folders.... So what's that all about? Assuming I've managed to compile this name.as file, how do I execute it and see results? Do I have to run it through a browser and the HTML template, or can I execute from a command line?
Do you have to have a class in the source to bypass this? Can the code block be placed outside a dummy class? If so, does it have to exist in a function? Or can it exist on it's own?Does it have to exist in a code blocks, by wrapping them in curly braces?
Warning 1106: Empty statement found where block of code should be expected. Did you type ';' accidentally? Here is the code:

So i have an external as file which have a function. the function make the movie clip do something when it hit another object which i named "block."

I've got an AIR app that is loading mx:HTMLs. I would like to block the ads that show in them just like Adblock Plus for Firefox does (see http://adblockplus.org/en/). I subscribe to the Easylist USA filter.
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com");
thisHtmlWindow.open();
thisHtmlWindow.htmlContent.htmlLoader.load(req);
I don't know where to begin to interrupt the HTML GET-ting process in actionscript. This is where I suspect I can add the HTTP filter. It'd be nice to subscribe to the filter and periodically download it/update it to make sure the major ad networks are blocked.

ok i'll try and explain this best i can, on my site i have a menu that takes up the whole of the content area.. the plan is that when the user clicks the menu button within a content page the menu would appear over the top however with a slightly transparent background so you can still see the last visible content page in the layer underneath.. i've got this to work however the buttons within the content page are still active.. is there a way i can make the menu layer 'solid' so the content below is only visible but not accessible?

I am working on an archive that contains a large number of flv and swf videos. The plan is to make this archive available to my site visitors to be able to go back and look at some of the old flash videos. Simple enough. The problem is that most of these videos have a redirect at the end which will send you to a website that no longer exists and I do not have the original fla's to work with. These files are pretty old. So, what I'm looking for is a way to prevent these redirects and keep my visitors on my site.

View 3 RepliesI building a C# application with a WebBrowser control in it and and I am trying to figure out a way to get the flash content within the web page to not display as it is sucking up a ton of my CPU and memory. I've been trying to remove the <object> tag within the page (there's only one) by getting it via browser.Document.GetElementsByTagName("object") and setting its outerHtml to an empty string. It returns one element (confirmed by the Count property) but accessing the first element ([0]) gives an index out of range error. I've tried doing it via a foreach loop but nothing happens at all and there are no errors. If I try to retrieve <div> elements instead of <object> elements, the foreach loop runs. Am I doing something wrong here, is there a bug, or is there a better way to remove the flash content?

EDIT: I just figured out that while the DocumentCompleted event is being called, it is being called before JavaScript injects the flash content onto the page. I've tried a few "sleeping"-like methods but they all stop the web page from processing too. Any way to wait for more time (5 seconds or so) while the webpage continues to render?
I am working a flash app that will display a block of text into a dynamic text field when a checkbox is clicked on. I have been looking around for this kind of thing but to no avail. I currently have the checkbox nested within two movieclips and need it to display the block of text upon click event in a dynamic text field that is found on the main timeline in its own layer. Ideally I would like the block of text to appear where the text curser is currently in the dynamic text field. I plan to have a lot of checkboxes each containing their own block of text to display.
