ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Simple Looping BG With Code?
Dec 14, 2010
I'm trying to create a simple looping background with code only (and one library item). It's going to be used in a game I'm making.
I place the graphics in an array and tell them to move in an Enter Frame loop, then, I want to remove the graphics that surpasses a set position on the stage and move it to the start of the array.[code]...
And how I would move the graphics to the start of the array, I simply don't know :( If I get this to work, I also want to figure out how to make more than one layer of looping graphics, if possible. But, do you think what would slow down the game a lot?

I'm trying to create a simple flash that will draw the Mandelbrot set by looping through coordinates, sending those coordinates through iterations of the Mandelbrot function and drawing a line at those coordinates, who's color is dependent upon the amount of iterations taken. Here is that code:
ActionScript Code:
var dot:Sprite = new Sprite()
this.addChild(dot)
for (var X:int = 0; X <= 500; X++) { //Iteration for horizontal

I can create a MovieClip using the follwiFirst, select rectangle tool from ToolsWindow and draw a rectangle by dragging through mouse.Then press F8 by selecting the drawn rectangle, select radio-button with "MovieClip" and click "OK". Now give the instance-name to this newly created Movieclip(say,myMovie). Now, we are able to use this MovieClip.But, I need to create a custom-sized MovieClip upon which I place text-fields(not known i.e., it is dynamically known(say, "x" no. of text-fields are required)). Hence the MovieClip size must be increased/decreased as per our requirement

I'm still sort of a knucklehead when it comes to using just code to do things like animate image transitions.I'd like to create is an endlessly looping movie that loads 3 images, then fades out each one using a tween to reveal the image just beneath it. As soon as the third image fades, I'd like for the animation to start over and just keep repeating.[code]

ActionScript Code:
_root.UpnDown_mc.up_btn.onPress = function () {
_root.Website_mc._y += 30;
[code]....
very simple code, you press the down button on the screen and the page moves down, and similarly for the up button, by 30 pixels...but it only happens once? I need it to continue for as long as the button is being held down.I have tried placing it within the onEnterFrame event, but it still only occurs once.

I am new to FLASH and have created a rotating banner for our website with 5 roatating images with 5 invisble buttons linking to 5 landing pages. And it works the first loop through. However when it gets to action 5 for my last image, that link continues for all the buttons is subsequent loops.What do I need to add to my code to get the actions to loop like the timeline is looping? Code used for the links. This is the link that continues after the first run of the banner:

I got some simple code for a click-based tween animation on another site. as it is now it animates a target clip to the location you click. How could you assign different destinations for, say, 4 objects, each assigned to a different button.ie button 1: animate the 4 elements to location set 1 button 2: animate the 4 elements to location set 2and so on...
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

Say I have a symbol MyButton, as a button with the 4 special frames. When you mouse-over/mouse-out an instance, I'd like another object to be affected... text in some text box changing, or the item becoming visible, or similar. I know AS3 but I'm a real noob at CS3. I don't really get how actions work in CS3.

This problem is probably very simple to solve but it is not clear to me. It may simply be that I am doing something incorrectly. I have studied OOP and AS3 for quite a few hours so I am familiar with the concepts but not the flow. This is a project that I put together in order to reinforce what I have been studying.The goal here is to load an instance of a pre-created movieclip to the stage from the library then execute a positioning function in the FLA's timeframe ActionScript and execute a function from within the AS files's class ActionScript to both a resize the movieclip and output a trace.I have two files:smileface.flasmileface.as

This seems like a simple problem but I can't seem to figure it out. If I use this standard code from the reference:
ActionScript Code:

nc.connect("rtmp://myserver/");
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
stream_ns.play("myflv");
the video streams fine, but if I put the exact same code within a function like this:

I am working on a game. All behavior was as expected, and I got no crashes when testing on my machine using FlashDevelop and the Flash Player. But if I open the .swf in Chrome directly or through the Kongregate test area, the game crashes 100% of the time that that function is called.

I can import it to flash and export it as a .swf file but it does not loop.
Does anyone know of a way to get it to export a file that loops?

I'm trying to create a flash program that uses it's own code to send and create images. Each square has a colour and that colour gets added into the array. A black, then grey, then white is:
filecode = ["Bl", "Gr", "Wh"];
That works fine, but when I try to paste it into an Input text box it will only fill in the first part of the array.
filecode = ["Bl,Gr,Wh"];
So the program has NO idea what I want.The only ways I can think of fixing this is by putting in 402 text boxes to suit every box...But every one of them needs a Variable Name.Or by sending the information straight into the array. But this way you are just looking at what you just drew, and that is not at ALL practical.

I'm trying to create an AS3 app with looping, seamless video background. The background is loaded from an flv. The problem thus far is with the seamless bit, because all the video looping tactics I've come accross regarding AS3 always seem to have that short but noticeable pause at the end of the video before going back to the beginning and playing again.
The best way I've determined to deal with this is to play a video and buffer the video frames as BitmapData objects into a queue of a defined length (without adding the video to stage). This way Rendering the video would then really involve popping each of those BitmapDatas into a Bitmap object attached to my stage in a timed manner, which then gets drawn.
Sort of like:
/*VideoBufferer loops the input video and queues frames and then updates*/
var vidbuffer:VideoBufferer = new MyVideo("video.flv",outputImage)
var outputImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
stage.addChild(outputImage);
//forgive syntax, this is pseudoCode
timed process that happens X times per second{
outputImage.bitmapData = vidbuffer.popBitmapData();
//returns bitmap data from the queue }
I don't care about sound. However I seem to not know how to implement this desired VideoBufferer class as I don't know how to play a video without adding it to stage and grabbing frames from it. How to implement the frame grabbing side of VideoBufferer?

I found a tutorial online that showed me how to create a looping background animation (falling leaves) but the code is in Actionscript 2.0. I am in the process of trying to covert the code to Actionscript 3.0 but there are still a few things I'm having trouble with (i.e. setRGB, duplicateMovieClip, etc).
Code:
leafNumber = 30;
for (i=0;
i<leafNumber; i++) {
newLeaf = leaf.duplicateMovieClip("leaf"+i, i);
newLeaf.x = Math.random()*Stage.width;

I'm trying to create a radar effect (a looping circle which gets larger). Now, the way i do this with other programming languages is to draw a rectangle as the background with a low alpha amount. Then draw the circle growing on top of the background, then draw the background again in the loop.I've got it working like this in flash but it gets really slow after a very short time since I am adding children each time the loops goes through.
Code:
var radarSize:Number = 1;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

How do you create a simple Health Bar for Actionscript 3.0? I have been searching for this for a while, and all I ever find are AS2 tutorials. AS2 dates back to about 900 B.C. ; it is an archaic language and it needs to be left alone, FOR GOOD.
