I'm trying to make a custom ConfirmBox.I have this movie clip: http:[url].....and I'm trying to make a function confirm() which return a boolean value.Obviously true when the user press "SI" and false when he press "NO:.Something like this:

I have a working Flash mailform that is pointing to Comcast's form created when a generic website is built. When that generic form is used in html format a confirmation page pops up with a standard "Thank You, etc.". I have a Flash thank you page built as well but it has nothing to do with what is going on on the server since I don't know how to connect these two. So in case there is an error on the server's side Flash will not detect it and the user will think his e-mail went through. Is there a way of writing a code that would take care or of it? The html address of the form that I'm addressing with Flash and the "Thank You" page is the same - just the contest changes. And here's the source for the latter (not much to it but what is VLINK or LINK - they seem to be the only unique things in this code?

I have an AS2 Flash SWF that is calling another AS2 Flash File using loadMovieNum("flash.swf",2) and a JavaScript file that calls a function on page using a timer. This is what I get in Firefox with Flash 10 (IE8 gives no error message):
uncaught exception: Error calling method on NPObject! [plugin exception:
Error in Actionscript. Use a try/catch block to find error.].
What is going wrong? I can't see a problem. It is suppose to clear the contents of the embedded swf and use a Flash alert dialog to confirm Yes or No.
Flash:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import mx.controls.Alert;[code]......
I know I can look at plugins and their version under Firefox, but how can I tell if I'm running the debug version of the Flash Player?

I'm trying to do here, basically I need to check if a record exists in a database, so I call a function to do so, but I'm using the sqlrunner class wherein the result of a query is called as an event response and I don't know how to get that value out of the resulting function back to the parent.[code]...

Which object is it?" If there are lots of objects and you just want to know which object is touching object 1 without asking about every single possible object on the stage

View 2 RepliesI'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

I've got 30 movie clips on the stage and I want to see if any of them are overlapping a drop point I have at the bottom (i.e., if any of them have been "dropped off".)I could say dropPoint.hitTestObject(obj1) and then dropPoint.hitTestObject(obj2). (Assuming that because of the object's names there is is no way to do a for loop). But that's a lot of code.It would be way easier if I could just say "What object is overlapping dropPoint?" instead of "Is object 1 overlapping dropPoint? No? Well, is object 2 overlapping dropPoint?" etc.

I'm displaying this menu without a problem but I need it to stay visible until the "select language" comboBox is changed and then return the selected choice's data value.

I'm just trying to make a simple function that will return all the data from my SQLITE database as an array. But it looks like when my function is returning the array, the SQL statement is actually still executing... so it's empty... Does anyone have a suggestion? Or am I just going about this whole thing wrong.I know I could just have the event listener functions outside this function, and they could then set the data. But i'm trying to make a AS3 Class that holds all my SQL functions, and It would be nice to have everything for this particular function just in one function, so it can return an array to me.
public function getFavsGamesArray():Array
{
getFavsArraySql.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, res);

Been trying to get a flash map to zoom in and out but I can't seem to get it working, it'll zoom in fine, but not zoom out.I'm zooming into a particular area of a map (Uganda in this example) with a function for a button, I'm using a boolean value to check if I am zoomed in and it registers whether it's true or false (checking with a dynamic textbox).

I'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:[code]does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean).Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? Ideally "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.
View 1 RepliesI'm using String.split to parse a command line string into an array of strings. The result is then used to call a function using the Function.apply API.
If apply(null, ["17"]) is called with this function:
static function test(foo:int):void
{
trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
it works as expected (output: 17 number).
However, calling apply(null, ["false"]) or apply(null, ["0"]) with this function:
static function test(foo:Boolean):void
{
trace(foo, typeof(foo));
}
does not work (expected output: false Boolean; actual output: true Boolean). Is there a way to make it recognize "true" and "false" (or anything else) as Boolean values, just like it does with numerical strings? "true" and "false" should also remain valid string values.

I am trying to have the function toggleClick return powerData. I need to store powerData in a variable and have it passed to another function to do calculations.
Inside the function toggleClick, I am assigning powerData to houseArray[e.currentTarget.name.toLowerCase()];

I tried just to write return powerData--but it breaks the program.

I'm communicating to these movie clips with another program via binary sockets.For the first set of movie clips: when it recieves its instance name, and a second number (InstanceName+#) from the socket, the named movie clip will jump to the frame corresponding with that number. for ex:if the incoming data from the socket is (mc7+3), then movieclip 7 will jump to frame 3.
For the second set of movie clips: when it recieves its instance name, and a second number (InstanceName+#) from the socket, the named movie clip will move location across the screen, by the y coordinate moving to the # given by the socket...thats a little confusing. for ex: if the incoming data from the socket is (mc4+500), then movieclip 4 will move so that it's y coordinate is at 500.[code]...
