ActionScript 3.0 :: Bunch Of Letters - Tweening Via Array?
Feb 6, 2010
I'm working on a for-fun project where I have a bunch of letters, in a row, that are jumbled. What is supposed to happen is that if you press one of the letters, then press another, and it is supposed to tween the two of them to the others position. For some reason though, the tween doesn't seem to be working (Since there are about 12 or 13 letters, I was planning on temporarily placing the two to be tweened into an array, and then tween them via the array)
Here is my ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent
import flash.geom.Point
import com.greensock.TweenLite;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
var tempPoint:Point = new Point(0,0);

I got a tiny problem here. I want to get a bunch of words from a database and then put them in an array in Flash. The array and database works, but the getting-the-words-in-it does not. Here's what I got[code]...
As you can see I got a counter, and a bunch of words. Now I would like to put those words in that array, by means of push(e.target.data.word%), in a for loop ran by the counter. Pretty easy, but I can't come up with a good idea to format word[i]. Then I can just use it as an index.

I've had the nagging thought of eventListeners vs container looping. For example, you could create a bunch of objects and store them in an array; make a loop that traverses the array and tells each object to execute a method. In contrast I could tie an eventListener to the object in it's constructor function that tells it to perform a task every frame.

I notice that about 4 times through out, who ever coded it used letters in addition to numbers in an arrays position.
Code:
risksArray["r"+element.@riskCode] = whatever;
but throughout the whole thing, he always refers to the array positions the same way.. so I can't figure out why he would possibly just add an r to the beginning like that.How does that work? Why would someone do it?

I have an Array of objects that each have a Name and a Score. I can sort the Array with '.sortOn()' by the object's Name or the Score, but when I sort by the Score, if some Names have the same Score, they don't list Alphabetically within that Score.
The following code shows what I mean. The Names with a Score of 50 are together when listed by Score, but they are not Alphabetical. How do I combine both ways of sorting?

I would like to parse some User Input Text into individual letters (probably using an array so the letters can be used and changed easily). The goal is to create an encryption flash script, which will take in a user input sentence, and spit out a jumble of "random" letters with a 4-Digit code. The end-user then takes the jumble, puts it in to the box, punches in the 4-Digit Code, and decrypts the message. I understand there may be ActionCrypt and stuff, but I'd enjoy attempting this myself. I have all the other data I need (translating letters in an array into numbers, jumbling the numbers, turning those numbers into letters, and then allowing the end-user to enter those and reverse-engineer the original sentence).
All in all, I only need the code to parse input text (in this case, and for the easiest idea, lets say 10 letter maximum) into an array of individual letters per sector.To make this easy for me to understand, I'll give you some variables to work with, so if you post code, I understand what you mean with the variables:
input_txt = User Input Box
encrypt_btn = The button one will press, and thus make the (hopefully new) sentence be parsed into an array
So pretty much, I'm assuming the code will begin with the encrypt buttons AS:
"this.on(Release) = function()"
That's the way I imagine it at least... If any of you have an extremely advanced way, that's fine by me. Use all the variables you want, array names.... everything!

I have traces set up which seem to show that until I declare that Tween all is going as expected, but the last trace there shows -1, and when I check the values of each individual filter in the array they are all increasing and decreasing together.

How can I make a bunch of variables from a for loop. for example for (var i=0; i<total; i++) {var bunch(i);}. that i make a bunch of variables named bunch1, bunch2, bunch3. I keep getting errors. I program and use so many different languages that I dont know if that can be done with AS3. my only other alternative i can think of is to create some sort of event dispatcher object array. but I dont know how to get them all to send events to one listener with there index number.

I am trying to animate a navigation menu so that when you roll over an item (say "Contact Us"), it moves up a bit, and the rest of the items blur.
I allllmost have it working but there is one piece of code that is no longer working (blurTween.onMotionChanged) since I put it into a for each loop in order to go through the array and apply the blur filter to each item.
So my code is as follows:
Code:
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;
import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
import mx.transitions.Tween;

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

So what im planning to do is load a whole bunch of images at once. Flash doesnt know how many images it will load though, so this is what im thinking..
PHP Code:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
var urlreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("[URL]" + i + ".jpg");
l.load(urlreq);
if (AN ERROR HAPPENS meaning the url is invalid){
//Stop and continue with operations
} else {
//Do stuff with the loader and image
}
How would I check to see if the loader has an invalid url?

How would I sort a bunch of XML nodes? I don't necessarily need to change the existing structure, but I do need to iterate through in a specific order. In AS2 I would use the childNodes array and use Array.sort.

I have a bunch of objects that are dragable. You click and hold the mouse button to drag them around, then release the mouse button to put them back down. The problem is that when an object is dragged so that another object is between it and the mouse cursor, and the mouse button is released, the object gets stuck to the cursor. Clicking and releasing the mouse button is the only way to drop the object. Is there any way to fix this? Or, better yet, is there a way to make it so an object is immediatelly moved in front of every other object when it's clicked on?

i cant seem to get a bunch of different buttons to work at once.this is a pretty complicated movie but the buttons are all simple.heres what i need.a next and previous frame button at the bottom
3 play button links that need to show a movie. (i was thinking of just using gotoandstop and having three frames at the end of the timeline for these movies, but if theres a way to just have the flv start playing ontop of the current frame on release that would be better.and the last thing is just some links to external urls from buttons made of ads and what not within the magazine.now i know how to make all these work by themselves but when i add the code for all these nothing works.i'll attach the .fla as well as an .swf.

I'm tasked with creating a site that runs full-screen video in the background at all time. I have it set up in XML in "batches" of 10-second clips that correspond to navigation sections. Currently the video just selects a random clip out of that batch once the current video has stopped playing, so it gets a random chain of videos.Of course, when it gets onto the crappy server, my framerate plummets (first disappointment) and i get a little pause in between clips (second disappointment). What I'd like to do is start loading the videos once you get to the site and hope that they're cached by the time they come up. My first thought is to put those batches into shuffled arrays rather than pulling them randomly at load, so I can at least have a predictable order.

I'm basically trying to make a bunch of particles jump around. I've used the draw tools to draw a small red puff. When you click the puff shoots up from the cursor a few pixels before falling down.
how to call the information from this .as file in another file. This way I will take out the click functionality from the file I have done and have the puffs shoot out automatically at the mouseX and mouseY coordinates.
I eventually want to have these puffs shoot out from a character as it runs across the screen in a game I have planned. It will make it much easier to have these puffs called from a seperate file I believe.
Here is the code I have so far:

I have the alphabet in a background picture, and when I click on the letter, the letter sound is played. Simple enough. I have all 28 letters in seperate mp3 files. I can embed the 28 files into the swf. I want to use add the sound files to a vector, and then just play the appropiate sound based on the location that the user clicked.
My question is what is the best way to load all these sound files.
I could do something like this:
var sndVector:Vector.<Sound> = new sndVector.<Sound>().
sndVector.push( new "name of class assigned to sound 1"() );
sndVector.push( new "name of class assigned to sound 2"() );
....
sndVector.push( new "name of class assigned to sound 2"() );
I am kind of lazy, so I don't want to do that. I could load the files at runtime, from a server, or my hard drive, by I would like to keep all the files embeded in the swf file if I can.
Ideally I would like to just throw all my sound files into the library, NOT assign them class names. (because I am lazy again), and then access them anyway form actionscript and push them onto the vector.

I need to load a bunch of images using a for loop looping through xml. This will be called over and over for various groups of images. Memory management is a major concern. In the for loop I create a loader
ActionScript Code:
var thumb_loader:Loader = new Loader();
var thumbContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
thumb_loader.load (new URLRequest (panelViewer [categoryPanels [indexCategoryPanels][i]].@pathName));
// set the thumb node from xml
thumb_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, thumbLoaded);
thumbContainer.addChild(thumb_loader);
I also add the thumb loader as a child now in the init handler
ActionScript Code:
function thumbLoaded(e:Event):void {
//when all thumbs are loaded I set them alpha to 0 and then to 1, for a nice effect
var thumbTarget:Object = e.target.content;
thumbTarget.alpha = 0;
Tweener.addTween(thumbTarget, { time:1, alpha:1, transition:"easeOutSine"} );
}
The issue I have I keep adding sprites and loaders and this keeps sucking resources this is for an air app that has to run for several days cycling through hundreds of images. How to keep my resources low and load a group of images delete the loaders and then on the next cycle delete the previous group.

I want to put some tweens on following frames and then have the image link to certain points on the timeline. however i cannot get it to stop when i play it. it plays all the AS3 code and all of the tweens.below is my code: so how do i get frame 2 and up to not play unless directed to.

Is there any way to combine a bunch of F4V's into a SWC or SWF and then load them via actionscript? I tried FZip with a bunch of F4V's, but when I get to loader.loadBytes(), it comes back with an error -
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Essentially, I just want to collect all of my media into a single external file that I can then pull stuff from - pngs and videos - preferably keeping the video in F4V/H.264, but not necessarily required.
