I am trying to index a series of movie clips with their own unique index number for accessing through AS3. The example below is what I would like to achieve, when a user clicks on Topic1, I can trace back the index of 1, when a user clicks on Topic2, I can trace back an index of 6:
Topic1 (Index = 1)
|
|-subtopic1 (Index = 2)
[code].....
basically i have a mc that i want to use as a button.
frame 1 is the initial state with a stop() action on it. frame 10 is the full rolled over state, also with a stop() action on it, and frame 20 matches frame 1.
so basically i want the button to animate frame 1-10 if they rollover, and animate frame 11-20 when they roll off. i would also like it to detect the current frame, so like if the user rolls off and rolls back on at frame 15, it will play backwards to the mouseover state (frame 10).
im trying to make a simple BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculator but it doesn't seem to be working
my code is:
on (release) { BMI_SUM = (Number(WEIGHT_INPUT.text) / Number(HEIGHT_INPUT.text * HEIGHT_INPUT.text)); _root.BMI_FINAL.text = BMI_SUM; }
the BMI_FINAL.text box always displays NaN, and when traced it says Undefined and the code looks sound but i cant get it to work.

View 1 RepliesHow can I add to an array without creating empty values.. the indexes are id'
So I cannot use push..
Or is there a way to remove associative array indexes? I cannot get it to work with splice...
ActionScript Code:
var test:Array = new Array(1,2,3);
trace('before splice:' + test.length);
[Code]....
What would be the best way to create an array that can have an index and a key at the same time? I mean something like this
index | key | value
0 | "myItem" | "Some value"
1 | "anotherItem" | "Some other value"
2 | "blabla" | "Bla Bla"
I know I can create a normal Array/Vector and then use an Object/Dictionary to map the keys to the index in the current array. But if the array changes then the Dictionary needs to change all the indexes that would have been affected because an item has been removed for example.
I can go ahead and create a class that tries to synchronize the map with the array etc...
But i dont think it is the best way of doing it at all...
I wanna use it to have a list... that holds queued items for example. You should be able to get a particular item by its key :
item = list["myItem"]
But you should also be able to find out the index of an item, they have to be ordered and it should be possible to loop through it as a normal array. What would be the best way to do something like this in as3?
Draw a rectangle using the rectangle tool; select the text tool and create a text box inside of the rectangle, and type in BEGIN; make sure it fits inside the rectangle; select entire image by left clicking then dragging over it; convert to symbol button.
Then, I add in the code of going to keyframe 4 when released (which works fine). But when I test it out and mouse over the button, I can still select the text which gives me like barely any space where I can click the button to go to keyframe 4. This is reeaaallly annoying me. How can I fix this?
This used to be so easy to do back in the day, but not any more. I'm trying to create a reeaaally simple button in Flash CS3 that on release goes to and plays the next frame.[code]All the button does is starts an mp3 that's embedded in the file. I've made tons of these in the past, but now with CS3 I'm finding this task very difficult. The code is in the button instance, but I'm getting the following error when I publish.
View 1 RepliesI'm sort of new to Flash, have been using it for ages but just to animate, i haven't done any programming or interactive stuff for years, so i feel new to it again!Creating a very simple platform.Movie clip of the character (instance name z_1)- runs button - when pressed makes z_1 invisible and loads another movieclip of him firing a weapon (z_fire). (also makes ground stop moving- basically game is a static running animation, over a moving ground, if that makes sense)This all works fine, i even figured how to make the score increase!After the firing animation is finished (there is a stop on the movieclip) i want the original running animation to be visible again and for the ground etc to play again. The firing animation is only 12 frames long so i imagine i need to tell the button to resume normal service on the stage after that time period![code]It's probably completely wrong but it works, i just need to know the extra code to make the original animations start back again after z_fire has played.

View 2 RepliesI have made a flash site that contains a lot of buttons that loads imported swfs. Now, I want to create a simple back button by using variables.
An example: The visitor clicks on the contact button which loads the contact.swf Then, the visitor clicks on the About us button which loads the aboutus.swf. Now, the visitor wants to go back to to the contact page and hit the back button inside the About us page.
The code for loading the pages looks like this:
on (release) {
_root.section = "nameofthepage.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}
Now I want this to happen: When the visitor clicks on the contact button a variable is saved named "contact" and then inserts "contact" in the code of the back button. Something like this:
on (release) {
_root.section = "insert the name of the current variable name.swf";
_root.transition.gotoAndPlay("closing");
}

View 5 RepliesI'm just moving from programming in Flash to Flex.
I want to create a simple gallery which is loaded with locally stored FLV short clips. I know how to create a text/image gallery, but I wasn't able to put the VideoDisplay component in the List control.
The final result should be a gallery with videos playing while the cursor is on top of them.
The website has 5 main-menu items called : Home / Speellijst / Van toen tot nu / media / contact / . a preview of the project can be visited here : [URL]
So when someone clicks "Van toen tot nu" (= an item about her past theatre plays), it displays a new menu that holds chronological buttons. Once someone cliks one of those, an extra element should show that displays info.
So in the element holding all the buttons on frame one AS says:
robbieknop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,robtx t);
function robtxt(event:MouseEvent):void
{
root.toenclip.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
EXTA INFO:
* the 1st button has the instance name : 'robbieknop'
* a clip that holds the info on each frame seperatly has the name : 'toenclip'
* 'toenclip' has an empty 1st frame, the 2nd holds the info that should display while pushing the instance 'robbieknop'
* 'toenclip' is present on stage when 'van Toen tot nu' has been loaded, it is invisible (empty frame)
So far I can't get it to work, I don't get any error messages and everything else displays 'according to plan'
I'm trying to create a simple fading RSS reader. I'm using PHP to create an XML document. Then I'm calling the XML into Flash using the following code.
ActionScript Code:
function postXML (loaded){
if (loaded){
postNode = this.firstChild;
newsID = [];
newsHeadline = [];
[Code] .....
I display this information in a movieclip that has several dynamic textfields. My problem is this. PHP calls the information in descending order. I want the most recent post to display first, that's why I do it that way. How can I reverse cycle through the nodes. There will be five. I'd like to use the id attribute as the reference to cycle through the nodes. I'd also like there to be a 15 second delay for each slide. I guess I'm basically creating a text slideshow. 15 seconds with an option to pause.
I have two functions, both are puting objects on stage and few seconds removing them, after decent of period of time mc steps to 3 frame where movie should stop, but those objects still appear on third frame, but I don't need them there. How to stop those functions?

I've defined an array which stores the function name, like this:
var aresetButtonTop:Array = new Array(resetTop1,resetTop2,resetTop3,resetTop4,resetTop5);
Then I have a button named"btnresetTop" which when clicked will call one of the five functions stored in the above array(aresetButtonTop). The functions are called at run-time depending upon some conditions. I need to figure out how I can call those functions using the array index. I'm using the following code to call the function. The value of i has been already calculated.
btnresetTop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aresetButtonTop[i]);
After doing this I'm getting the following error when I click the button:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. at flash.events::EventDispatcher/addEventListener() at gallerytest_fla::MainTimeline/thumbTopClick()
Note: thumbTopClick() is a function inside which all these codes are written.
I need to find out whether it is posible in AS3 to call a function name using the array index or not.
//*//*//*//*//**//**/**//**//**//**//**//**//**//**//**//**//**//

var d:Array=new Array();d=[t1,t2,t3,t4,t5];

View 4 RepliesI'm working on this flash game right now and I need to implement a simple players database...
It needs to be both read and writable . Meaning, when the player register to save his character information , he needs to key in his email and a password and create an account. The account shall store that player's life amount, ammunition etc . All the infos are stored on an external file and retrieved again when the player logins to the game with the email as his login ID. Security issues are not the biggest concern here because its not exactly meant to be an online game and I don't think hacking would be something I need to worry about ^^'''
I've tried Xml with AS, but I realised that, that alone canot allow me to write the player's info into the xml file.
I'm not exactly an mySQL idiot...but I really have very(x2) rusty and limited knowledge of it. All the server topics confuses me and I've had no experience with Microsoft Access.
