I want to perform an action if a function is being used. If that function is being used then I will use another function, something like:
if(a.add){
a.mult;
}
That's what I want to do, but I don't know how to. The other thing is that when I use if , else if, with a text input as a parameter, I can't view the action of the if statement in a dynamic text field, even though I did write m.text=b, where b=a.suma.
On a button I want it to check the position of one of the mc's and perform an action otherwise don't. This is what I have:
Code:
if(Main._x > 100){
returnMain();
returnContent();

Is there a way to add an EventListener to a button and make it execute some action when it is clicked without calling a function?
In other words if I have three different buttons and I want to make an action depending on what button was clicked, something like.
If button 1 is clicked do this, if button 2 is clicked do this, if button 3 do this.
I know a different action can be taken using an eventListener and a function assigned to each button but I'm trying to understand more about AS3.
I have a simple accessor in my class:
public function get loggedIn():Boolean
{
var loggedIn:Boolean = somePrivateMethodToCheckStatus();
return loggedIn;
}
The API I'm now working with checks login status in an asynchronous fashion:
API_Class.addEventListener(API_Class.LOGIN_STATUS,onStatusCheck);
API_Class.checkLoginStatus();
[Code]....
Is there a way I can perform this asynchronous request without exiting my accessor?

I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,
I have a chat program built using flash for the front end tied to a J2EE back end. My program creates socket connections which must be closed appropriately when a user signs off.
When a user decides to sign off they can click the sign off button and everything is peachy. However, a less responsible user may choose to sign off by simply killing the browser window. Is there any way to implicitly call an actionscript routine on this event?
I have a function that load an image from web, and change the image size inside an iterative loop. There is a loder and a listener on the loader for the loading to be complete :
for (var i:uint=0; i<=10; i++) {

// other instructions...
}
I want the program execute " other instructions" but only after the image is fully loaded and The size changed

I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?

The file consists of 3 buttons and 3 input fields. Clicking either of the first 2 buttons will place a specific number in one of the 2 corresponding input fields. The third button adds the previous 2 values and displays the result in the 3rd input field. The fields themselves are uneditable and only for displaying the numbers. My question is what is the correct listener/function to have the "total" function perform automatically when either of the first 2 text fields change in value.[code]
View 2 RepliesI am new to the concept of Bitwise operations, and was messing around with some examples today. Everything seemed clear up until the point I tried to make a function to perform a circular bitshift on a uint:
private function rotateLeft(value : uint, shift : int) : uint {
if ((shift &= 31) == 0)
return value;
return (value << shift) | (value >> (32 - shift));
}
I was trying to shift a colour value (e.g. 0xFF0000) and expecting something along the lines of 0x0000FF, when in actual fact I was getting 0xFF000000 (which is correct, due to the length of a uint) - the most significant bytes are for the alpha value.
Basically when you start the code, it creates 26 random letter jumbles on screen, each beginning with a different letter of the alphabet.You then type these jumbles, one by one, to make them disappear.How It works as I have posted it below is that you have to type the first letter twice, but if you have a quick look through you can see there is a (red) commented out line that I want to include in order to delete the first letter first tryBut it seems that it can't parse the previous action fast enough in order to carry it out.Is there a way to tell flash to wait until the previous action has completed before it tries to parse the one at hand?
var available:int=0;
var letterCode:int;
var keyPressed:String;

i'm trying to use if statements but can't get this thing to work i want to check if another button is visible on release of a button to determine what action to be taken.the 'gotoAndPlay("firstscene",1)' is just there as an outcome, will be changed later. anyway this is the code i've got on the button i'm pressing. blobyellow2 is an instance of a button blobyellow is it because it's an instance that it's not working?

edit: sorry forgot to put what's wrong with the code. it acts as though the statement is correct no matter if it is or isn't.
Root timeline: keyframe 1, keyframe 2, etc...
-keyframe 1 has a MC "frist MC"
-keyframe 2 has a MC "second MC", etc.
-the MCs are all duplicates containing different animation, but have the same AS inside them.
The construction of the MC is:Play intro animation -> Stop and wait for key stroke. If key is "space" set variable value to 1, if else set variable value to 0, then continue to play next frame. -> Complete the animation till the last frame.In the last frame check what is the value of the variable to check which key was been hit. If it was a space (var =1) go to root and play current frame +1 (go forward), Else, go to root and play current frame -1 (go back)Its a kind of slideshow.so heres the code in the middle, after the intro animation was played:[code] The problem with var reverse is, it works well in the first frame, its beign filled with value depending on what key is being hit, But in the last frame, when the time comes to check the value, trace says its "undefined".I have tried setting up a _global.variablename = reverse and it works in both frames (the check at the end is succesful, it detects the given value), but still the last frame only plays the currentframe -1 as if always executing the "else" command, no matter what the value of var reverse is.
Anyone know how to add a action to this function? (I'm a novis to AS)[code]....
View 1 RepliesHow would you go about using a function to do a continous action? I tried it myself but couldn't get it working. For example, if something==true; then it will continously do prevFrame(); action, or anything like this. I tried a if statement, and used a function command, but no success so far. Still trying, or will still be trying after my next class.

View 3 RepliesIs there anyway that I can override a rollOut function if an action is performed?
I have three mouse events:
a ROLL_OVER
a ROLL_OUT
a CLICK
Once the CLICK has taken place I want the movie clip to stop on the last frame. But because I have a ROLL_OUT Event it wants to continue to go back to that event when I roll out of the movie clip.
do I need an "if" statement here to override the rollOut function when I click?
