ActionScript 2.0 :: Change SetInterval Interval Whilst Movie Is Running?
Jul 18, 2007Could anyone please tell me how I can change the number of milliseconds at which a setInterval function repeats, whilst the movie is running? I am using setInterval to call a function which duplicates a movieclip and I need the duplication to happen over decreasing amounts of time. The problem seems to be that the setInterval function only needs to be set once, so declaring it again with a new interval value isn't an option.

Jan 6, 2011I'm working on a game, and I'm having some issues because it's kinda "stuttery" - it seems as though the ticks don't get called every x ms like they are supposed to (ofcourse there could be additional problems, but I'll look into those later on - this could also be an issue for other (future) projects).So I tried to have a look at setInterval. I made a new AS3 document with the following code:
Code:
// imports
import flash.utils.*;
import flash.events.Event;
[code]....
The interval probably averages, but it goes as low as 11 and as high as 37 sometimes. As such, I would say this function is not very reliable...
ActionScript 2.0 :: SetInterval - Check If Interval Is Still Running And Don't Add Another One?
Feb 17, 2007Have a problem with setInterval. How do you check if your interval is still running and don't add another one? When i trace myInterval, it gives me increment numbers, and not true or false? Is that supposed to be normal? If so, how do i check that myInterval is there or not there and do my actions according to the result?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Variable Not Being Passed Into Function?
Sep 8, 2005why is my variable not being passed into my function?
Code:

the webAddress variable is from the exact same timeline making it one level up from this function. it traces out correctly too so I know the variable is there... just not getting passed!
ActionScript 3.0 :: Function Variable Not Passed Down?
Jul 26, 2009My code seems to produce an error (7 times - same code) "1120: Access of undefined property xmlMarker." This appears on all occasions where the variable 'xmlMarker' is called outside of the function ('showData') where it was first produced.
Code:
stop();
var placesXML:XML =
<places>[code]............
I have a feeling that I shouldn't refer to the variable as a 'MovieClip', but I am unsure what else to pu thee if that is where the fault lies.On the stage there are several buttons relating to the place names attributes (works perfectly), dependent upon which button is pressed, the scene then jumps to a frame (again this works well), however within that frame there will either be 'myMarker_mc', or myMarker_mc2' (this does not work!).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Identify An Object Passed Into A Function?
Oct 13, 2010In my case I have 6 movieclips and 6 corresponding text fields (all 12 objects are on the main timeline) and the movieclips are named thumb1_mc, thumb2_mc, etcetc, and the text fields are named text1, text2, etcetc.I have a method:mcl_mcl.onLoadProgress = function (targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes)in which I need to change the appropriate text file's text depending on which movieclip is targetMC.The trouble is I can't find a way to distinguish which mc it is, so I can't pick which text file to change.I tried using properties but that doesnt work because everything about the movieclip gets obliterated the moment I load something into them.

Jun 20, 2011In c++ if I have a function that takes a class I have defined elsewhere as a parameter like so:void moveto(CPoint2D point) { ... }I can invoke it and pass along data to it like this:moveto(CPoint2D(0,0));basically creating the object and invoking it's constructor to be passed to the functionIs there an equivalent to this in AS3?if I have a function like this:function initialize(min:Point, max:Point): void { ... }how do I do something along the lines of :initialize(Point(0,0), Point(10,10))This throws an error im assuming because it thinks I want to cast something to a point and the notation I found earlier to do something similar only seemed to work if using the basic Object class.

Flex - Calling A Function Once Then Repeated At A Set Interval?
Jun 23, 2010I have a function which makes a call to the server to load some financial data. This data is then displayed in a grid. In order to keep displaying the latest data I keep making this server call (every 30 secs). I'm using a Timer object to do this. The problem I have is that I have to wait 30 secs when the application starts for financial data to be displayed, what I'd like to happen is that the load data call is made, then start the update timer. Is there a way to set this up or shall I use to data load calls, one to get the initial data, then one to get the updates, which is made every 30 secs?
