ActionScript 3.0 :: Actions Not Executing Immediatly?
Jun 18, 2010
I've setup a very simple FLA, if you wanna see what I'm talking about:[URL]..If you fire the swf and you click the red thing (button), you will go to frame 2. If you click it again, you will go to frame 1.
Both frames contain a green mc with a "this.visible=false" action, so you shouldn't see it the first time.
Now click fast the red button. You will see the green mc from time to time.So, seems the flash movie is executing "clicks" every ENTER_FRAME (not immediately when you click the button). The sample mc I attach has a framerate of 1fps, so you can see easily the behaviour, but it's the same with 30fps.
And the same for the green mc. The "this.visible=false" line is not executing immediately when the main timeline reaches the related frame.
In the second frame, the green mc is contained inside a red mc. If you break appart this red mc, all will work as it should and you will never see the green mc (the FLA file is attached as well, so you can test).
So, my main goal is that I can never see the green mc, being it or not child of other mcs.

This is maddening - I'm clearly missing something about how actions relate to the timeline.I some actionscript on Frame 1 of my movie that changes the color of a movieclip on the stage on MouseOver/Out. I then have actionscript that takes you to Frame 10 when this movieclip is clicked.Here's the problem: On Frame 10, I DON'T want the MouseOver/Out actions to execute, and I have cleared the keyframe containing those actions on Frame 10 - there is no actionscript detailing MouseOver events what-so-ever on Frame 10. Yet, these events are still occurring, which leads me to believe the movie still thinks it's on Frame 1, even though it's showing Frame 10.Is there some method of clearing any existing Actionscript from previous frames when it reaches a new frame (I thought clearing the keyframe was supposed to do it, but apparently not)

I have a pause function that fires when the first frame of my swf loads.
PHP Code:
Welcome transition
function pauseMC(sec) {
var i = sec - 1;
var MyPause = setInterval(function () {
if (i == 0) {
clearInterval(MyPause);
[Code] .....
However, if the user navigates away from this "Welcome" section, the actions following the "pause" still fire. I need to find a way to stop the pause function prior to the actions executing. Below is the function used to trigger the navigation events and where I should be executing the action to stop by pauseMC.
PHP Code:
function moveLeft () {
var t = this;
this.opened = true;
//this._x = _root.navWidth * this.index;
[Code] .....

I have a series of frames one the timeline. Each frame has a graphic and a mouse click leads to the next frame. Think Myst.
[Code]...
When the middle frame is returned to, clicks no longer change anything. I believe that the actions of the 'left' frame are replacing the one's in the middle frame so then it is told to gotoAndStop to itself.
I'd like to know if that is indeed what is happening and how I can make it stop.

1. Can i put another set of actions in frame 2 of the actions layer?i tested but it doesn't seem to work..it has 836 rows of code and it's getting annoying when tryin to search for a function..
2. I am not that familiar with classes, i usually put all the code into movieclips or in actions layer.. i am not sure if i can call a function from a actionscript class..
3.I am curios if there is any way i could specify an alternative for the if statement like in this pseudocode:
if ( apple is not clean BUT is tasty)
{
eat(apple)
}

I'm using the loadmovie action on a frame that is played several times when certain buttons are clicked and the problem is that everytime the frame is played it would load the new movie again. Is there a way to disable the loadmovie action after it is executed the first time? I only need it to play once and thats it.

is it possible to stop a web service from executing?
I have a flex web application that searches clients with both full name and client id, when searching by name sometimes the usuer just types the last name and it takes a long time.
Since the app is used when clients are waiting in line, I would like to be able to stop the search and use their full name or id instead, and avoid waiting for the results and then having to search the user manually within the results.
I meant "web service" I actually meant mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService, I want to stop it from waiting for the result event and the fault event.

I am beginner in FLEX programming , I am trying to implement a very simple LOGIN system using PHP, FLEX, MySQL.
protected function button2_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var create_new_user:Users= new Users();[code]..........
I have added the "alert.show" to check the sequence , it was really strange to find out the it is executing "6,5,4,3,2,1"..?? Which mean user is created before checking the verification result?

I have a set of ~5 ActionScript 3 classes that are currently used within a flex 4 application. Although their output is used to display graphs etc in my flex app, the classes themselves have no visual components - they are only used to do complex math computations (I originally implemented them in AS3 in order to avoid constant server calls when computations were needed by the flex app).
However, I now want to make the same mathematical computation engine available on my linux server so the computations can be done within PHP. Is there any way at all to access the logic in these classes on the server? I would really like to avoid re-implementing the complex logic in PHP.

I'm a total noob using the Facebook Graph API for AS3. I have a Flash game and the idea is to upload it to Facebook, and everything seems to be ok (When entering the Facebook app, the swf shows perfectly and I'm able to post the facebook user id, the user name and the score to a database in the server where the game is located. I intend the game to automatically post to the user feed what he/she had score, but after making a lot of tests I found out that the method is simply not running.[code]

Here's a damn useful snippet:
ActionScript Code:
/**
* Use in place of trace(). Calling function will be logged automatically.
* */
[Code]....
Put that code in a utility class, and then from any function or method in your app, call myClass.reportStatus("Something happened"); and you will be rewarded with something like this:
060510 15:48:11com.foo.commands:oSomethingCommand/execute()Something happened

I have a function and a movieclip prototype. When the prototype applies an onEnterFrame to an mc, it repeatedly calls the function (hitTests for all other mcs). Besides this, it also eases the mc to a new point. However, when the mc have reached this point, the function handling the hitTests stops being called
PHP Code:
//Prototype....MovieClip.prototype.moveSprite function(speed, spriteType) // Generate random coordinates var tarX = Math.round(Math.random()*(400-

I've done some searching around and was wondering if this works. Is it possible to send a function command to a SWF from an HTML page? Basically, a javascript based menu that executes a function in a swf contained on that page.

A function has to "run"(execute) inside the onEnterFrame event method but the function does not seem to run when called.
Example:
_root.onEnterFrame()=function(){
if(something==true){
performFunction();

I have an RFID reader scanning tags. The first IF statement works flawlessly with my counter to detect if it should log the item in or out. The 2nd and 3rd don't work at all. I've tried 3 IFs, I've tried 1 IF and 2 ELSE IFs, 1 IF, 1 ELSE IF, 1 ELSE...nothing works. This project is due tomorrow and no one else at school has figured it out yet

I have some action on a timeline, on frame 10 (a keyframe). So currently I'm on frame 1, and when I gotoAndPlay frame 10 , the code gets executed.
BUT, when I'm on frame 1, and I gotoandPlay frame 11 , the code does NOT get executed!! It was a shock actually, cuz I never thought flash would behave this way. Or is this something new with Flash/AS3?
If Im jumping to any frame after 10, how can I let that code be executed? Note that im just giving a numbered example, but in reality, I dont know which keyframe has some code.

I have two large doors slamming shut and would like to execute the browser shake javascript function hardcoded into the html page for about 0.1 - 0.2 seconds.. just enough to shake the window when the doors slam shut.
How do I call the shake() function that is on the same html document as the swf object? Not from a button press, but from an event (ie certain keyframe reached).

The function should trace "carn" over and over and over, but instead, it traces "carn" over and over until the prototype picks a new point to ease to.

how i should be executing external functions from a .swf loader...here's my loader function:
Code:
on (keyPress "e") {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container", 1);[code].......
i can easily load the swf into the frame, but the colors don't change. Playing coloreffects.swf on its own works fine, just not through the loader. I imagine this is because you can't just operate two levels of AS2 at once...
