Here is the flash file I am working on for a local kids charity so you can see [URL]. If you press the next button 9 times it will bring you to a drag and drop game I have made, you have to match the targets so it spells cat, this works fine, the problem I am having is that the objects you match stays there for the rest of the frames (try it yourself by pressing next) I am just wondering how to clear this?
View 1 RepliesI have a need to have a section in an app I am creating where I have imported an external (print2flash)SWF into my main SWF timeline. When the button is pushed, it moves to a new frame on the main timeline. Problem is, when I forward to the next frame, the SWF stays on any future frame I go to. In essence I need to clear what was imported when I leave one frame and enter another.
This is the code I am using to import the print2flash SWF
import Print2Flash.* stage.scaleMode=StageScaleMode.NO_SCALEstage.align=StageAlign.TOP_LEFT var P2FDocLoader:Print2FlashDoc3=new Print2FlashDoc3("modules/FlashDoc.swf",300,120,650,520,this)P2FDocLoader.addEventListener(Print2FlashDoc3.ONLOADEVENT, OnLoaded);
var P2FDoc:MovieClipvar totalPages:Number=0
function OnLoaded(e:Event) {
P2FDoc=P2FDocLoader.getDoc()}
Is there away to add on on leave frame unload function?
I am trying to clear an interval (for sound repeat) after my animation on a particular frame ends; but I only understand how to do it with x, y movement.
Also my gotoAndPlay interval repeats unexpectedly because of this problem.
ActionScript Code:
//Opening Sounds
sharkSound = new Sound(this);
sharkSound.attachSound("shark_sound");

I have this timer code on the first frame of the movie.[code]And I want it to perform this timer until I press a button on the main stage.I found some information about clearing the actions from a movie clip but I didn't see much about clearing it from a frame.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a flash visual showing a time series of data on a world map. I have created a flash file which 1) creates proportional circles for each country of interest (in this case 6 countries) and 2) has a timeline so that the circles change through time. I have successfully gotten the timeline to work with the proportional circles, however the circles to not clear out before displaying the new circles when adjusting the timeline. I am not able to figure out how to properly clear out the circles. I have tried using the holder.removeChild(c) command before I create my new circles, but get an error which states 'Parameter child must be non-null'.
ActionScript Code:
import XMLLoader;
import ProportionalCircle;

If I have declared my vectos object as such ActionScript Code:
private var _delsUI:Vector.<Single> = new Vector.<Single>();
fill it with data like:
ActionScript Code:
_delsUI.push(newListing);
Then later on I decide to use this:
ActionScript Code:
_delsUI = new Vector.<Single>();
Will this essentially destroy all objects and prepare them for GC if there are no other references any where else? or do I have to loop through the entire Vector and delete and set null each object?
[URL]I got it working but the problem is, is when i go to the next frame the items that are matched succesfully stay there, I want to know how to clear them, so they don't get in the way of the next frames.

View 22 RepliesI am trying to remove an event listener on a FileReference object by calling a function, but it seems not to be removed, and I do not understand why.
Here is the code:
private function clearFileUploadListeners(file:FileReference, index:String):void {
var dispatchEvent:Function = function(event:Event):void {
dispatch(event.type, event, index); };
file.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dispatchEvent);
var bool:Boolean = file.hasEventListener(Event.COMPLETE);
if (bool)
trace("ERROR");
}
When I run this code, the trace actually happens. I don't understand why this boolean returns true, when I just tried to remove the eventListener just above! I believe it has to do with the fact that the dispatchEvent function is defined inside another function when I add the listener:
private function upload(file:FileReference, index:String):void {
var dispatchEvent:Function = function(event:Event):void {
dispatch(event.type, event, index); };
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dispatchEvent);
}
The problem is that I need to access this "index" variable from the listener, and I can't set it as a global variable as each file has it's own index and it's a burden if I have to extend each event class to keep track of the index (Event, ProgressEvent, ..). I actually found a temporary solution, I am not sure if it is the best! I put my removeListener method actually inside the upload method, but made it a variable. As AS3 allows dynamic object, I attached this method to one of my object, and so I just call the reference to the method when necessary. The event is actually removed.
When I'm disposing a sprite which has drawings on its graphics object, Do I need to use "graphics.clear()" or is "mySprite = null" is enough?

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.
I'm trying to trace the path of an object by using setPixel on the object's position every frame in a BitmapData/Bitmap pairing. These pixels aren't showing up normally and I suspect I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the BitmapData class. Here's what I'm doing:
public var contrailBase:BitmapData;
public var contrail:Bitmap;
private var contrailColor:uint;[code].....
Using this code, the red pixels don't show up. If I initialize contrailBase to 0xFF000000 instead then I get a black screen on which the red pixels DO draw, but I need the bitmap to be transparent except for the contrail. What am I doing wrong?
I need to know how you drag an object into another object and when the click is released it goes to another frame, and if you release not touching the other object the draggable object will go back to the place it started in
View 7 RepliesMy question is, is it possible to rotate an object from frame x to frame y?I mean, let's say I want to move an arm. Instead of working frame by frame to make it move, is it possible to somehow make it rotate 90 degree from let's say frame 10 to frame 15?

View 21 RepliesI have built a flex application which has a "main" project and it is assosciated with a few RSL's which are loaded and cached once i run my "main" application. The problem i am facing is that the newer versions of my RSL's are not being loaded as the cache holds the older version of my RSL and execxutes the same. Each time i have got to clear the cache to execute the new version of my RSL's, which is irritating.
View 1 RepliesI have a website that is currently all flash-based. Unfortunately if you return to that website, it won't change a thing until you delete your temporary internet files, being that it is flash. So for every update, I have a new .swf file ie: 2801091.swf and this works perfectly fine. However when you enter the calendar, it loads the .xml file but it's always what's been cached.
1) Everything about the flash file can be revised if it's the newest version so dated .swf files aren't created every time there's an update?
2) A way to clear the .xml cache or refresh it every time the calendar is opened?

I might me going crazy, but I've scoured the trying to find a way to clear out or reset or empty an array. I've tried a for loop
for(i=0; i<_root.imageList.length; i++){
_root.imageList.shift();
}
Doesn't always work. So how do I "reset" an array, just clear it out completely so I can reuse it?

In a simplistic view, what I want to do is when the 'previous' or 'next' button is pressed, increase or decrease the page number by 1, which is easy enough, and start afresh...I though it should be a case of removing all the children from the scene and then executing the functions at the start of the script, after all the variables have been set.However, when I do this, I get the following error:
## [Tweener] Error: : [object preloaderMain_12] raised an error while executing the'onComplete'handler.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

I set a function for

I'm creating a gallery of thumbnails and main images from a loaded XML file.The initial load is fine and all is working, Thumbnails are produced in a masked movieclip and the first image is defaulted to display at start perfectly well. The gallery also has several categories in it which a user can view by clicking a button for each. eg Sites, Designs, Cards etc. Each of these categories information are held within different separate XML files. eg sites.xml, designs.xml and cards.xml etc.
Now here lies the problem. When a user clicks a new button the new XML loads the new information and the files display, but on top of the thumbnails/main images that were already present because the file that was initially open has not cleared. So what I want to do is simply remove the data that is currently being displayed, so in essence removes the images etc. Then replace those with the images from the new XML file.Is this at all possible because from searching the last week I haven't been able to find it. I guess I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.
I've having a problem when I am removing a child. There is an area where you can choose a button to click(there are multiple buttons here). Once you click a button it loads workss_mc and you can go back from there and workss_mc is being removed then work_mc is being added again. The problem is once it is added again and you click on any of the other buttons the frame label from the previous session when it was clicked is still at that location.

View 6 RepliesI am working with the new tfl text fields in Flash 10, and have realized that I cannot completely clear the text field from script.
using classic text, I could do something like this:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = "";
however, with tfl text, that does not clear the field and returns no errors. What does work is using a space:
ActionScript Code:
myTextBox.text = " ";
But that wont work for what Im doing because it is a text entry box, and I need there to be no leading characters when a user starts to type.
how to clear the interval in this code? I'd also like to know if there is a better way of firing makeStars() than using setInterval in a function - like I'm doing. I've looked at the Kirupa tutorial and I'm not seeing what should be done.
Basically, this attaches a number of stars within the Stage width and height properties. When the browser resizes I rewrite the stars to the screen with the new bounds. But I can't get the interval to stop, so the stars just keep getting replaced - disappearing and relocating abruptly.
It all works great outside of the resizeIt() function, but once inside she goes down hill from there. A couple of things I need cleared up (pun intended) are:
1. Am I creating a new interval each time resizeIt() is executed?
2.What is the scope of the interval(s), and does how you access them change depending on where you are in the code, or are they more global?
stop();
//number of stars to make
var numstars:Number = 100;
_root.attachMovie("background","bkgd",this.getNext HighestDepth());

I am using previous/next buttons to navigate through various screens. Each screen has its own voice over track.If I hit the "Next" button in the middle of the track playing, then try to go back, the audio won't play - most likely because the position is still sitting at wherever it was when the sound was stopped.Is there a way I can reset the position? I am assigning the positiong to a variable (mySoundPosition), and have tried stting it to 0 (mySoundPosition=0), but that doesn't seem to help. I know that the position is read-only, so I was hoping that somehow clearing the value of the variable would work.Basically, I just need a way to start the sound over without having to envoke multiple start(); commands because that causes the sounds to essentially play twice, simultaneously, which doubles the volume.
