ActionScript 3.0 :: ClearTimeout Not Working When BtnDown Function Called
Oct 1, 2009
Why timeout is not clearing. I declare the timer outside of everything so it can be seen by everybody. After the mouse moves on the stage, the timeout is set. Then as soon as the mouse goes down on a movieclip, the btnDown function gets called which is supposed to clear the timeout. And when the mouse goes up, the timeout is supposed to be set again. The funny thing is the timeout does get cleared when the hideControls function is called, just not when the btnDown function is called. However, everything is working like it's supposed to in the btnDown function except the timer.
Code:
var controlsTimer:uint;
// BEGIN TWEEN
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, showControls);
function showControls(e:MouseEvent):void {
Tweener.addTween(controls_mc, controlsTweenIn);
[Code] ......

The code that is commented out will work, however, I'm trying to turn that code, since it's used multiple times, into a function.
Why isn't my function working when it's being called?

Use Flash CS5 (and AIR, though this does not seem like it would be AIR related) in Win XP 64 I have a MovieClip symbol in my library with the identifier 'Puzzle10Piece10' with the following actionscript attached to frame 1 of the only layer with the following actionscript:
[Code]...
This runs contrary to my understanding of the pre-compiler and code execution order. In my way of thinking, any reference creation and related memory allocation is made when the object is instantiated, and indeed that allocation, unlike C depends not on code order (declaration before use), though this is an order that would satisfy even the C pre-compiler. If I understand the Flash compiler at all, it's not even a question of 'code order'... the symbol is pre-compiled such that for it to exist... for it to be instantiated, the variable would exist before the function would even be 'available' to be called internally or externally. Is my thinking way off, or is this a bug?

I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package
{
public class PER
{
[Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?

I'm using an AMF service that was built by someone else. Basically what happens is that some info is passed to the AMF service and it returns true or false.I want to be able to pass in various info to the a function that calls the AMF service(submitTracking) and then get the true or false value returned in onResultSubmit to be passed back to submitTracking.

I am having problems with this function, which is called when a button is pressed. I am loading a JPG with a movieClipLoader into a newly created movieclip, and while this is loading the other is still viewable and is faded and deleted when the new JPG has fully loaded, using the code below:
ActionScript Code:
function loadBigPicture(iValue:Number, firstTime:String):Void {
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myBigPicture"+iValue, this.getNextHighestDepth());
trace(_level0["myBigPicture"+iValue]);
[Code].....
If the button is pressed extremely quickly again and again, the intervals begin to stop working

I've been banging my head against the wall with this one. I have the following set function in Flex. [code]If I set the periodChangeAmount to -1 or 1 the set method gets fired. If I set it to zero it doesn't get fired. What's the deal? Does anyone know why it wouldn't get called when setting it to zero. If I change the object type to a number or even an object it still doesn't work as expected.

I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval

I am working on a Flex Front End at the moment, and have been using the Parsley framework for passing messages/events around.
I was wondering if there is a simple way for a function (in this case, an event's constructor) to obtain a reference to the object which called it?
This is to ensure that a certain event that I am defining can only be dispatched by one specified class. My thinking is to check the caller of the constructor somehow, and throw an error if it is not of the correct type.

I have an MC object called with linkage to be treated as a class in the library,part of the code is what follows (what is relevant to this problem):[code]If I drag and drop the object from the library onto the stage to instantiate it and call the function from within the object, then there is no problem, and the code is executed with no problem. In the main movie clip, I want to create an instance of this class with code, add it to stage and call this function with the following code:[code]
Through the use of flags I have confirmed that we in fact enter the function setTable, and that this error is produced once I try to reference the cardArray.I do not declare the array outside that function because I need other functions in that MC to be able to see it. Relocating the declaration does not solve the problem, because then the interpreter advances to the lines where I reference other functions declared in the MC (which I want in there), and the same problem arise: it has not yet seen the declaration of functions like the custom shuffle function for arrays

I wrote the code for a tween function called fadeOut. As you can understand, its end is to fade out the alpha property of an instance.the code uses an addEventListener:chooseBlue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fadeOut);so when the button named chooseBlue_btn is clicked the fadeOut is called:[code]But I would like to call fadeOut when the clip starts without using a button.In which way?
