I created a new flash ide project and used a document class named 'Main.as'. Then I created Main.as file. I then drew a box and converted it to a movieclip and used export for actionscript on it. I assigned the square box in the flash ide the instance name 'box1'. Below is my Main.as file[code]...
View 7 RepliesI have used a pop up window code several times before and now it doesn't seem to work. I've tried in several different movies now and when pressing the button it simply flashed the page and moves a little, but won't actually pop up to the page it's pointed to.Here's the code:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('http://www.angelfire.com/in/HansonArtGallery/2newpaintingbig.html','newWin','width=650,height=6 50,left=0,top=0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars= No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");

Got to the point where the hole in my AS3 knowledge is getting large!Realising I have confusion about the relationship of:Body of code on first frame of AS3 file.(Which I have so far used to create instances of library objects using addchild and make calls to class code).Is this code called the document code? What do people call it?Numerous classes linked together by extending each other etc.Library objects (usually graphical objects)Should it be done differently? have the following problems due to lack of understanding:Addchild complicated from a class but straight forward in main body code.Cant call functions on the main body code from classes, because class code does not know the main body code exists?

I'm creating mc's during runtime like this:
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= pictures; i++) {
this.attachMovie("box_mc", "box" + i+ "_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth())
}
So, if pictures is 5, then we end up with 5 boxes, box1_mc, box2_mc, box3_mc and so on. But I can't work out an easy way to refer to them later on. For example, say someone presses a button and I want to move all of them - how can I set their _x value in a loop? For example, if I wanted to move all of them 100 pixels, then this wouldn't work:
for (var i:Number = 1; i <= pictures; i++) {
"box"+i+"_mc"._x = "box"+i+"_mc"._x - 100;
}
I tried something interesting recently. I had code effecting an object with the instance name : object_mc.Now I added another object and gave it the same instance name.The result was, that the code only effected the most recent added object (no error).Is there a way in flash to have multiple objects with the same instance name all being affected by one piece of code?
View 5 RepliesI am developing an isometric rpg engine in flash AS3. I have decided to separate the engine code completely from the game data, which is in xml. So I have all the maps in xml files, all the quests and npcs etc. My question is when to parse the xml into actual Actionscript code. Should I do this at the start of every play session? Should I only parse the maps as they are called? This is like start up code. For example, I want to parse every tile into a tile object, then draw it to the map. Also, I want to parse the quests in the xml into quest objects so that they can be accessed by other code. So, when should I do this??

does anyone noticed when using the latest flash player (10), all website thatuse preloading and is publihed with actionscript 2.0 is not working anymore. Only the onloadComplete or onLoadInit is triggerd, so preload animations are skiped. For example i made this website a while ago that worked fine with flash players up to verion 9.Now the preload percentage is not showing anywhere. I also tested other websites that i know off
where made in actionscript 2.0

View 1 RepliesWhen I'm laying out objects on the code, I noticed that I'm having a hard time getting things to stack properly. I know that I need to be dealing with the index property, but I don't know how.

im trying to use a use a code segment that makes something avoid the mouse. My issue is the code requires that iff i have more than one object that i want to avoid the mouse than i need to make a new set of variables for the second object and pretty much copy the code than change the variable names. Thats all great and dandy but i have a couple hundred very small objects that i need to avoid the mouse. is there any way to maybe apply the code to each object with an onclipload maybe?
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.Event;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fun);
function fun(event:Event) :void {

as you can see the object i want to move requires its own variables and 2 if statements. and i REALLY dont want to have to copy/paste that code over 200 times and make a new set of variables for each object. maybe i could apply the code to the object itself ? but than what would i name the variables?

I have found the following code and modified it.
Code:
// Drag a piece of garbage.
rubbish_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false); }; // When the garbage is dragged over the trashcan, make it invisible.
rubbish_mc.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag(); // Convert the slash notation to dot notation using eval.
if (eval(this._droptarget) == trash_mc) {
rubbish_mc._visible = false;
change_score(); } };
My question: I have numerous movie clips for the rubbish. Is there a more elegant way of calling them than repeating the above lines with rubbish2_mc, rubbish3_mc etc.
i've been using the equillibrium code that centers an object between 4 other objects, but when you put the 4 objects inside of another symbol i messes up and i have all the roots right. If you look at the .fla you will be able to see how easy the code is ( its in the square) but it wont work.kirupaForum
View 1 RepliesI have installed CS5 recently and then deleted CS4, since doing so (or at least I think that's the cause), I cannot open SWF by a simple double click like I used to. Opening them in browser or in CS works fine but I still want to be able to open those SWF with a double click.
Tried using "open with", then Flash CS5, without success. Also went on Adobe's website to try redownloading the flash plugin but didn't let me download it as "browser already have flash plugin installed".
How did you re-established the double click to open a SWF?

View 1 RepliesI load icecast stream into Sound object, using some tricks to overcome memory leakage. Generally it works quite well, unless someone reloads either icecast or stream source program on the server. In that case flash player just mutes itself forever. I'm looking for some way to detect this case internally and reload the stream without refreshing web-page.My problem is caused by the fact that onComplete event for some reason doesn't trigger, maybe there's another event happening, but I just couldn't find any.One thing that I tried was noting down stream progress point and checking consequently for 200 times if it stays the same and if it did I was manually calling stream reload function.
View 1 RepliesI have a button which I want to be dynamic in it's use. The var currentQuestion get's updated within another function. I have traced this and that's not the problem. The problem lies within the fact that after i have pressed the button once it's not working anymore. So the buttons works the first time, but after clicking it (and so updating the currentMovieclip to "question01_mc") it doesn't work anymore.
This is not the complete code, but just the part that matters,
Code: Select allvar currentQuestion = 0;
var currentMovieclip = "question00_mc";
var Root = root;
