ActionScript 3.0 :: TextLink Event - Even Its Outside Any Loop, Calls Function Various Times At Once?
Jun 4, 2009I've loaded text from database and I make links for each title, works good, until I try to add a item counter to have a next and previous button, allowing user to load 12 records.when inserting the next code, my links fire n times, not just once as expected, making browser to unespectly quit.what can be the reason?
some explanation
init is the number I need to increase or decrease to make database query
total is the number of received records by query
total_geral is the number of all records in database, so I can know if I must or not have a next button
t is the name of the mysql table where query should happen

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function That Calls Itself
Aug 9, 2007im using a function that iterates through all nodes in an XML tree, and then calls itself again if any of the nodes it is looking at has a set of child nodes, so in other words it multi-dimensionally loops through the entire XML tree.[code]one question i have is - am i correct in my assumption that while variables declared within a function are not accessible anywhere but within that function, if a function calls itself, any loops within that function that use a variable such as "i" will be affected seeing as "i" is accessible within the function?if so, how do i get around that? currently my function loops through all the way down to last child node it can find along the first branch of the XML tree, but then doesnt continue looping through the other branches.

Flex :: Using HTTPService In Consecutive Function Calls
Mar 15, 2011I have this button:
<s:Button includeIn="MeniuPrincipal" label="Descarcare Date" click="downloadLmData(event)"/>
And this click event handler:
protected function downloadLmData(event:MouseEvent):void {
downloadData('competenta', 'competente');
downloadData('localitate', 'localitati');
}
The downloadData function looks like this:
private function downloadData(item:String, items:String):void {
try {
var colVar:String = 'col' + cappitalize(items);
this.status = "Descarcare date in curs...";
this[colVar] = null;

The problem is, all calls are ignored, except for the first one. Is there any "queuing" mechanism which would allow all calls to be made?

View 9 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: Arbitrary Expressions In Function Calls?
Nov 25, 2009I have several custom functions that I import as .as files, but I frequently have to modify them to suit projects, which makes standardization and version tracking harder.Is there a way to pass arbitrary expressions to a function when it's called? For example, if I write the function,
Code:
function foo(){
for(i=1; i<=1; i++){
trace(i);
}
}
would there be some way to attach an additional expression after the trace function during the function call? As in,
Code:
foo(do_stuff_here);
where the function would act as if it had said,
Code:
function foo(){
for(i=1; i<=1; i++){
trace(i);
[code]....
but without modifying the original function?I realize I could add an expression to the original function within a conditional, and toggle it via an argument within the call, but since I don't know what I'll add next, or whether I'll need it next time, this would become impractical quickly.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Multiple Function Calls To Execute?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling Down A Movieclip On MOUSE_DOWN Calls A Registered ROLL_OUT Event Listener?
Apr 12, 2010I'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button. When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size. My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem. For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself. I do not want that flicker. I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor. In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
Here's my code.
//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button private function addMouseListeners() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp); }
[code]....
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.

Flash :: Function Calls In Quick Succession Fail
Jun 10, 2011I'm implementing AMF service methods for an flash front-end.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Stopping Function Calls In Game Project?
Mar 5, 2010I am developing a game project, in which I have many functions on it. I have all the major functions on the frame 50. And I don't want these functions on the next frame. Indeed I didn't have these functions on the 51st frame, the 51st frame only contains a stop action. But flash calls all the major function on the 51st frame also, I don't want these function to call on the 51st frame. Is there any way to stop this? Or else my program contains error?
Here is the program...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button In Parent SWF Calls Function In Child SWF?
Mar 26, 2011I do not want to use external .as files because I will have about 100 swfs to manage in this project, 100 swf is a lot of file management alone without adding 100 .as files on top of it.This is the code in the parent swf file to call the child swf and place it in the page_mc movieclip (note in my final project "child.swf" is replaced with the loading array variable but we're going to keep it simple):
ActionScript Code:
var pageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
page_mc.addChild(pageLoader);
var loadedpage:URLRequest=new URLRequest("child.swf");
pageLoader.load(loadedpage);
Now just for a simple function to call, we'll say we have a box_mc on the stage in the child swf, and when we click the button in the parent swf I want to call a simple function like this to hide it:
ActionScript Code:
function hideBox(event:Event):void {
box_mc.visible=false;
}
how do I call that function in the child swf from a button in the parent swf?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Daisy-chaining Function Calls Gracefully?
Jun 16, 2010I have a video playback system that runs in a loop as it traverses the playlist of videos, doing something like this:On playback start:
-check for pre-roll ad, play ad if set to true; otherwise:
-check for branding video bumper, play bumper if set to true; otherwise:
-play video
On playback end:
-check for post-roll ad, play ad if true; otherwise:
-reset video
The way I have it coded/hacked works fine, but is less than ideal, especially as I plan to build on it. It looks something like this:[code]So, what's a better way to handle this? For an interactive timeline/map I've made in the past, there were a number events that were triggered at certain times during audio narration. Each event was unique (some were animations, others were text labels that appeared, etc), but I unified them as classes with a common 'time' property and common public go() function, and threw them into an array. As the narration played back I would check the 'time' property of the next object in the array, and once it matched I would call the go() function for that event, increment the phase position (so I know which array index to check next), and continue.

View 7 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Sort Function Amount Of Calls Keep Changing
Jul 9, 2010Basically I have created a custom sort function to use with sort(); inside an Array object and I have traced the amount of times each sort() has called customSortFunction. Apparently it keeps changing the amount of times it is called which has seemed to cause problems for me.I am using this to sort Sprite obects on the stage. I am working with an isometric grid and need to make sure everything is sorted based on y and if two objects are on the same tile (tile hover and avatar etc) then it sorts them as well.
However it seems that when I have some objects in a certain position, the customSortFunction isn't called to sort every single item. The case I am facing just now is it sorts every item, but leaves 2 unsorted. I have traced and debugged and it is definitely not calling customSortFunction enough times.

Actionscript 3 :: Match Function Type Declaration With Differing Calls?
Dec 12, 2010private function playSound():void
{
_soundChannel = _soundObj.play();
_soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, nextTrack);
}
<s:Button width="35" label=">>" click="nextTrack();"/>
Assuming the nextSound() function looks the same as playSound, typewise... The button click works fine, but the event listener won't call the function because its sending an argument the function isn't expecting. I can change the nextTrack function to be evt:Event, but then the button is sending not enough arguments, and I can't find anything to type it to that will work. I can make a typed function to call the un-typed nextTrack function from the event listener
public function callnextsong(evt:Event):void{
nextTrack();
}
