I got this weird problem, when i run this code:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code]....
In Flash Cs3 it acts exactly as i want, the ENTER_FRAME runs and the addObject places numerous sprites on the stage. In the window output i'll see the trace. But when i run this code in Eclipse which is set up to use the Flash Player as output i get the first trace from EDHV_ImageSlider but the traces inside addObject won't show up, the sprites however are generated perfect.
The difference between the eclipse setup and the cs3 setup is the fact that the cs3 setup has a *.fla which calls the *.as package.

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

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,

For some reason trace does not work on when I put trace into my ActionScript files. I use the Flex SDK to build Adobe Air applications. I am currently on Flex SDK 4.5.1 and Adobe Air 2.7.I have checked that idl is not running, can't find a trace of it ( pun not intended ).I have also added mm.cgf to ~/Library/Application Support/Macromedia, that hasn't worked either.
Update: create basic HelloWorld.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

But it still doesn't work. Provided the code, that by some weird chance it could be the app.

I've got something simple in my main time line. I know I must be missing some kind of loop function, as the hold down doesn't work unless I keep clicking. And my trace doesn't work unless it starts on the 'enemy'. I'm just not sure what
Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
_left.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveLeft);
function moveLeft(e:MouseEvent){
_hero.x--;

I am using FlexUnit4 with FlashBuilder4. A lot of the classes that I'm unit testing make use of the Flash Logger.In the main app, we use TraceTarget so that the logging shows up in the trace window, which greatly aids in debugging:[code]I'd like to do the same thing for the unit test runner that FlashBuilder generates (FlexUnitApplication.mxml), but I'm not sure how to go about it. I could, of course, add TraceTarget to FlexUnit Application. mxml, but as the warning at the top of the file says,My question is: how do I get logging-to-trace to work with FlashBuilder and FlexUnit?

I cant seem to work out to trace the content of a data grid i have populated with info;Once I can work out how to trace it or each row i would push it into a new array for exporting.
so for example: i have a datagrid instanceNamed(info) //populated from a CVS file; text file//
containing 150 rows and 15 columns. I would simply like to trace this in the output window .From then i will work out how to write to disk. i have been searching around but cant seem to find a solution to this problem.

how would you trace the name of a function, without writing it yourself, is it possible?
So if I have:
private function destroy():void{
trace();
}
how would the trace look like to trace out some kind of refecence-name to destroy? (without typing in destroy into the trace ofc....)

I have 20 players in a game and cutting and pasting lots of code except for a few numbers. I have future features that would require over 400 lines of mostly repeated code. So I learned how to use "for", and practiced with a trace command. Traced the results exactly as I thought. However when I apply it to the guts of my function, the movie breaks down. I suspect it's because the function is being called on an EnterFrame command and the for loop I wrote is being executed over and over.
This works when I hand code:
Actionscript Code:
function drill(){GUESS0 = ((guess0min * 60)*1000) + ((guess0seconds * 1000))
GUESS1 = ((guess1min * 60)*1000) + ((guess1seconds * 1000))
GUESS2 = ((guess2min * 60)*1000) + ((guess2seconds * 1000))
GUESS3 = ((guess3min * 60)*1000) + ((guess3seconds * 1000))
GUESS20 = ((guess20min * 60)*1000) + ((guess20seconds * 1000))
//and then 300 more lines of other code}
And then a button later calls this when pressing:
Actionscript Code:
my_MC.onEnterFrame = function(){_root.drill ();
//so _root.drill is continually being called, which is good, because it has all sorts of data that needs to be refreshed, but I think it's screwing with my "for" loop.}
And the following is NOT working.
Actionscript Code:
function drill(){for (i=0;i<20;i++){
"GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));";}
But when I trace it in a separate test movie, it outputs exactly what I would hope it placed in the code:
Actionscript Code:
for (i=0;i<5;i++){trace("GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));");}
So at the end of the day, I guess I can trace these results in a test movie and use it to generate what I need, and cut and paste it into the project... but I thought 'for' loops were for saving time AND space. Am I using this code right? Maybe my use of "", or +, or i is misguided?

I'm working through some tutorials from my instructor to eventually build a simple e-com website for a state park. Basically, I'm using the two as3 files shown below and trying to get "bob" in my output with an array function and trace. Load store function is intentionally coded out. When I test project, nothing comes up in output, and I have no errors.

public class Main012 extends MovieClip {

The trace function in this file doesn't output all of the keycodes on my keyboard. Some letters generate a keycode and others don't. For instance, "u" outputs 85 but "i" outputs nothing.
Here's the trace function trace(event.keyCode);

I have a simple code that seems to be giving strange results.
var startPoint:Point = new Point(x, y); // a point
var r:Number = path[i].row + (-Math.floor((length * 2 + 2) / 2)); // just some math
trace(r); // the math checks out and gives a 3
var tey = startPoint.y + r; //this gives a really strange return....

I follow some sample code which uses trace("Hello World"); to print out something in ActionScript 3.0, in Flash Professional CS5.
But nothing seems to get printed out (in a browser). Is the trace() function deprecated / removed?

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

I am working with AS3 to build a very simple mp3 player on my site. So far the play and pause button work fine, but when I try to move the slider then click the pause button, it doesn't pause, and then clicking the play button again causes it to play a new file.I'm assuming that for some reason when I call the playMp3 function from my MouseEvent, it's within an object or something and not at the root, so it's like loading a new sound file, but I don't know how to fix that.URL...

take a look at the results of these traces:
trace(imgGal); //traces "1"
trace(itemClip1._y); //traces "32"
trace(itemClip[imgGal]._y); //traces "undefined"
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?
