ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting Changed Values On Dynamic Objects
Oct 8, 2009
I was wondering if it is possible to capture whenever properties are set/accessed/created on dynamic objects?Basically, among others, I want to create a little quick system which acts as an Array and allows you to set the same value of all items inside of it.[code]There are several workarounds, (including checking the current value each frame) but I want to know if there is any way of detecting changed properties at all.
I was wondering if it is possible to capture whenever properties are set/accessed/created on dynamic objects?Basically, among others, I want to create a little quick system which acts as an Array and allows you to set the same value of all items inside of it.For example:
Code: var dynamicObjArray:DynamicObjectArray = new DynamicObjectArray(); dynamicObjArray.push(mc1, mc2, mc3, mc4, mc5, mc6);
I have an image which its source depends on a bindable property of another object.I'd like to know when this source changes, for example, by capturing the bind event or another related event of the Image control.
im having a hard time figuring out how to get the _x,_y,_width,_height of dynamically loaded images. What do i need to do this; is it possible?im having everything load into a container Mc.heres a piece of it
I have an editable grid and would like to update values based on the edited cell and I am doing this in the itemEditEndHandler such that when they finish editing a cell I update other cells that are dependent on it. the only problem is in the itemEditEndHandler the new value has not registered yet. If I try and get the value of the cell i find that its still giving me the old value and not the new value that I have entered.
In flex/actionscript 3, I can call node.attribute("somename") and get the value of the "somename" atribute of the node. I can also call node.attributes() and get the VALUES of ALL the attributes. But how the heck do I know what attributes to look for?! The application I am creating does not know the format of the XML file in advance. I need a way to know the NAMES of the attributes of the nodes, before I can access them by name!
I have one Sprite which acts as a container for two other Sprites. One has a picture the other has a series of hotspots.
If i change the scaleX and scaleY of the picture, the hotspots don't line up anymore. Do you know the correct equation so that any scale i set will always make the hotspots appear at the right place?
Having grown tired of dealing with uncollected objects mucking up my game level/performance management, I've decided to make a dedicated garbage class which will hold arrays populated by all the strong references I make. I can then just null out/removeChild/removeListener all the contents of these arrays whenever I need to ensure GC will pick up certain objects.What I'd like to know is the following: is there any way within AS3 (or community made AS3 libs) to detect all current references/listeners/etc. that might keep any given object from being collected? I know there are dependency-mapping utilities out there for debugging, but I'm looking for something that can be called dynamically from an object or its parent to find references to the given object and is suitable for regular runtime implementation.
Is there any way to set a listener when a dynamic textboxs' text is changed via: textbox_txt.text ?
I have a class for my custom buttons and I would like to add this listener to check the size of the textbox and resize accordingly when the text is changed.
I realise that the best method would be to have a function in the class that changes the text and does the check all in one. Problem is - because we're now localising it in loads of European languages I was never expecting to have to change the text size dynamically if the copy is too long. So to go and change it to behave like this would be a bit of a mission, so hopefully there is some sort of easier solution...
Maybe an ENTER_FRAME event that tests for the textboxts' text to != ""
I am making a Scrollbar component and I want a script to call a calculation function for resizing the scrollbar when a new data is loaded.I was experimenting with Object.watch but it's use is beyond me. I don't understand if its the thing I need.Can Object.watch call a function when say a dynamic textfield's data is changed?
I have a value object, inside are lots of getters/setters. It is not a dynamic class. And I desperately need to search an ArrayCollection filled with them. The search spans all fields, so and there are about 13 different types of VOs I'll be doing this with. I've tried ObjectUtil.toString() and that works fine and all but it's slow as hell. There are 20 properties to return and ObjectUtil.toString() adds a bunch of junk to the output, not to mention the code is slow to begin with.
flash.utils.describeType() is even worse. I'll be pleased to hear I'm missing something obvious. UPDATE: I ended up taking Juan's code along with the filter algorithm I use for searching and created ArrayCollectionX. Which means that every ArrayCollection I use now handles it's own filters. I can search through individual properties of the items in the AC, or with Juan's code it handles full collection search like a champ. There was negligible lag compared to the same solution with external filters.
As the title says, need best way to move objects in game. Always used x and y increments. Read about tweenlite and use it, very easy. So which do I use taking into account that these games can be ported to mobiles ie: which is more optimized. It's a platform type game. I will have a. A little girl that walks and climbs
b. Little platforms that slide from side to side - you have to jump on them
c. The little girl will jump
d. Little baddies will fly around the screen.
ALSO, as the girl jumps I would like it to look natural Gravity as she falls down The correct increment on x and y as she jumps. Shouldn't their be an actionscript 3 games forum
I was wondering if I can create an array of created Classes. I have a feeling that I cannot, and that you can only create an array of values, not objects.
I have a custom component as an item renderer.In this renderer there is an item called dlFirstChoice.Now when I add more items to this list and force the list to rebuild itself something odd happens.Part of the creation of the renderer I set a default selection for the DropDownlist as follows: dlFirstChoice.selectedIndex=0The problem is once I have more than one item to render from my dataset this property stops working. So if my dataset has only 1 item to render the drop downlist sets itseld up properly, the momment I need to render more than 1 copy of my item renderer, all of a sudden nothing gets set fo
Assume i have in library 3 items and the linkage names are: _cl_1, _cl_2 and _cl_3. Now i am reading from an xml the values 1,2,3. Or it could be more complex like 2,2,1,3,2,1,2 How can i create the corresponding objects using the xml values?
im trying this every which way.creating global variables etc.I have a movie clip with a text area (lets call it txttest)there is text inside it which i want to send from this movieclip on the main frame to a text area (lets call that one txttestB) on the main frame. Whatever i try i get undefined in the text area on the main frame.I have tried this...
What i'm trying to do is creating an array of objects, little squares that are positioned in a grid with coordinates and when i click on the coordinates i need to select only the elements which fit with the value. So, what i'm trying to do now is to pass a value to each element of the array but it doesn't work:
ive got some dynamic _x _y values coming from an xml file, and i can trace these out fine. xml_x = 300 xml_y = 240 or whatever. However when I try to send a mc to those values, using either load either or enterFrame the clip doesnt do anything at all. Is this because flash is treating the 300 from <xpos>300</xpos> in my xml file as a string rather than an integer?
I did not have any problems on CS4 but I encountered this error below when I used CS5. Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts. Now that the line of error is cleared. However, I am still having problems with my dynamic text fields which worked with correct values in CS4 but gave the incorrect values in CS5.
I have created a dynamic TextArea and want retrieve the value and display in the trace.To run the code below you must drag the TextArea component into the stage.
I have a movie that contains a series of radio button groups, which each have their own accompanying dyn text box. When a certain radio button is selected, a pre-determined value is loaded into each respective groups' text box, via "onRelease".
Now, I can get these values to appear fine in each text box, but I then have a fourth text box (amount_total), into which I want to have the sum of all the previous text box's values.
I have a submit button with the following actions on the first frame of the timeline:
I'm not a programmer but have been using Flash for awhile. This is my first heavy dive into variables.I'm putting together a Quiz game where I pull the information from a txt file. I can get everything to display and work fine except for the adding of a total score.I have a series of values in a text file and load it into my movie. Depending upon what button I push, I want to take the value and add it to the total score. The next button I push I want it to add that value to the new total score.
I'm trying to set up a calculator for a couple of formulas I need to use for some schoolwork. I thought it would be a lot easier if I could just put the numbers in there and hit enter.I can't figure out how to transfer the numbers from the input box to the dynamic box though =/. I figured I'd try to get going really easy, just do a input box, when you click on a button, a dynamic box displays whatever is in the input box. I cant get it to work though . I tried various variations of codes, Heres some of them:
I am popultating a dynamic text box with values from a database.I need/want the location of the text box to be at a random position on the stage, so I have been using:[code]I see that the htmlText is getting set, and with what looks like good html, and I see that text gets set with the non html part from the htmlText.Is it not possiable to calculate the width of the text when html is set to "true"?
I'm a front end designer, so I don't have much experience with coding and I'm having a lot of trouble finding a solution to this problem. What I want to do is take the value of $MyState in the php code below and get a flash file located on the same page to recognize the value..
PHP Code: $MyState = $_GET['MyState']; MyState is defined dynamically through the address bar, i.e. http://www.mysite.com/mypage.php?MyState=Something
The value of MyState is constantly changing so doing a loadvars from mypage.php won't work. Is there a way to loadvars and get the value of what is in the address bar? _url also does not work. _url is seen as mysite.com/myflashfile.swf.
Or does anyone know of any other ways to get the results I'm looking for?
I'm making a program that has to write random names to the screen.I'm loading the names from an external .txt-file called nameDataFile.txt The .txt-file contains this:
When using dynamic text, and loading in text from an xml. How do you get the Dynamic text box to automatically adjust (height) to the length of the text?
