I am facing a problem where I have a listener listening to Event.ENTER_FRAME:
Code:
public function showAnimation():void {
var character:MovieClip = new Character();
[code]....
Lets say we have a movieclip "Enemy" in the Flash library and a class "Enemy.as" is associated with it which listens to ENTER_FRAME event as follows,
public function Enemy():void
{
//constructor of this "Enemy.as" class
[code]....
I was having a go at a tutorial which worked fine but then I started seeing how it would work in an external file. Object Oriented Flash. On line 27 it picks up the following error... 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event. //function enterFrames(e:Event) I've tried this for myself but what are the function parameters I need to mimic the same motion of the bouncing ball?

Lets say we have a movieclip "Enemy" in the Flash library and a class "Enemy.as" is associated with it which listens to ENTER_FRAME event as follows,
public function Enemy():void
{
//constructor of this "Enemy.as" class
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, move);
}
private function move(evt:Event):voidnot use this approach at all?
I have a little problem while trying to get a URL on a Enter_Frame event using Flash AS3.I would like to trigger the URL request on the last frame of the movieclip.Everything works fine except that instead of getting the URL once, it keeps loading it all the time.
Result: I get hundreds of web pages opening in my browser.
Here is the code I use:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,my_function);
function my_function(e:Event):void{
var homeLink:URLRequest= new URLRequest("http://www.myurl.com");
navigateToURL(homeLink, "_self");
}
I have multimoduled application and I need to monitor when the mouse is moving or not moving on a protion of my swf file.The app is consisted of video player , text part and video list on the right.So I want monitor when the mouse is moving just over the video player not the whole swf application.I have this function
Code:
vidPlayer_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkMouse);
function checkMouse(e:Event):void {
if (sw==0) {
[code]....
I use vidPlayer_mc.mouseX/Y; property but i doenst seem to work.I need the functionality when mouse moves over video player the playbar on the bottom shows up and vice versa.
I want to create an endless loop, 8 items moving in a circular shape. When you roll over of each item, it will stop the moving, and you should be able to click it.
I dont know what should I use, should I use Event.ENTER_FRAME or the circular shape should be in movie clip, so that when there is a mouse over event, it will stop moving?
Oh ya, I code everything in AS3, including the movement, objects etc. Something like a new class
I wanna apply a glow filter to a button. What I want to happen is that if for a media player the currentFrame = totalFrame i.e, if the seekBar reaches last frame, I want the next_btn to animate,...like Glow In and Glow Out.
I dont want a mouse_over / mouse_out event to handle the animation.
Possibly I think that I'll have to use a Enter_Frame event, but I cant think of a function to do so.
my glow filter is like this...
var myGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xFE4110, 4, 2, 2, 4,2, false, false);
Variable called "switch" has a boolean value of "false".Event.ENTER_FRAME event listener method fires, and calls method "onEnter()".Within the "onEnter()" method, the "switch" variable is set to boolean "true".My question: What is the best way to make sure "switch" variable is called, and set, only once during the ENTER_FRAME event?
Is it as simple as checking if "switch" is false, and then setting it to true... Does it matter that I would be doing the if() for every frame of the Event.ENTER_FRAME?
I have an ENTER_FRAME event on one of my pages to create a progress bar for an audio track. It is working great, but I when I click on a button to goto the next frame, it continues to run the ENTER_FRAME event continuously. I have many audio tracks in this project and need a progress bar for each. however, once a second one starts, it really begins to bog down the player. Is there a way to stop an ENTER_FRAME event from continuing after you leave a page? Here is the code i have:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
tb_mc.scaleX = 0;
[code].....
I'm working on a custom tween class. Everything work good, instead of sound volume.I'm using the following code:
Code:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;[code]....
It seems that if I use the ENTER_FRAME event for transformation nothing happens.
I'm struggling to move from AS2 to AS3 and trying to mimic an old AS2 trick. When the playhead hits a frame on my mc's timeline with this code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("3");
the main/root/parent timeline would go to frame 3. Clean, short, simple. How can I do this in AS3?I've tried this code but it didn't work:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, proceedNow);
function proceedNow(event:Event){
//parent.nextFrame();
parent.gotoAndPlay("3");
}
I'm attempting to use the ENTER_FRAME event listener in order to change the text value of a field every 60 frames..I have the strings I want rotated out in an array that is being referenced in the if/else statement The movie doesn't even error out, it just doesn't work.
View 8 RepliesI have a script that relies on ENTER_FRAME event to run every time. I have noticed on some slower computers there can be some lag when a flash movie is playing. Does ENTER_FRAME run on every frame, even if its on a slow computer? If the flash movie lags, does the ENTER_FRAME event still run and the rendering just try to catch up? Is running code on ENTER_FRAME a reliable way to execute code every time a frame is entered?
View 3 RepliesI've got a button that, when clicked runs a method. The method waits for a condition to be met (or rather, waits for a variable to be set in the model) and then updates the view. I did this by setting an ENTER_FRAME listener and it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
private function loadHouseRoom(e:MouseEvent):void
{
view.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loadStuff);
[Code]....
I also tried setting the addEventListener to use a weak reference, but the Event never gets fired in the first place.
Note: I have to use a method like this. I removed a bunch of code irrelevant to this question to make this more readable, but the user needs to be able to change his mind and click another button before the loadStuff function is called.
No matter where the EnterFrame event is registered, the frame would not be rendered after the EnterFrame event handler done in each frame.For example, I have two unrelated MovieClips:
Code:
oneMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tick);
function tick(event:Event):void {
if (otherMC.currentFrame == 20) {
otherMC.gotoAndPlay(5);
}
}
The frame #20 of "otherMC" will never be rendered on the stage, right?
I use 2 options when i comes to animationg objects with Action Script
1. Timer based animation
PHP Code:
initTimer = new Timer(1000/fps);
initTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveItem);
[code]....
2. ENTER_FRAME event based animation
PHP Code:
var time:int = getTimer();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveItem);
function moveItem(event:Event){
[code]....
Both of this options work ideal for my needs and they produce smooth animation. My question is witch one is better and why? And is there more ways to animate objects with action script?
I am a newbie in ActionScript 3.0. I want to make flash application that will zoom in object when on mouse over and write same text on the screen and zoom out object a clear text when the mouse is roll out.I have a probelm, when I roll over the object it zoom in the text appers and when I roll out the object returns to the default position. But when I roll over then I rool out and roll over again (not wait until zooming out is completed) the addEventListener does not stop and text is mixed (part pf the text is from first zooming in a nd part of the text ist from second zooming in)
This is my code:
//import the tweenlite packages.
import com.greensock.TweenLite;

This code works fine if the timeline is moving forward through the .flv file. However, the going in reverse produces choppy results. The choppyness seems uniform, as in, it's always choppy and always the same intensity. [code]...
View 3 RepliesI am creating game which involves some billiard-like balls to bounce on the screen. I created a MovieClip with only one frame which represented the ball, exported it to the class, extended it to my needs and animated it using Event.ENTER_FRAME. It works fine, but there is something that confuses me -- both, the stage and the ball have only one frame each, so I don't quite understand how Event.ENTER_FRAME works... I mean, if there are no keyframes, how is done the animation? If I used already animated MovieClip, I would have to add keyframes, right?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME event with a number of dynamically created movieclips and it is not working.The swf features a series of five clock faces that the user will select by hitting the appropriate button. Each clock has five unique movieclips to that season including a second hand, a minute hand, a main character, a seasonal clock face and a back ground, again, each of these MovieClips are different on each of the five clocks. So I have a series of five listeners for each of the buttons:
spring_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startSpring, false, 0, true);
winter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startWinter, false, 0, true);
...
then the associated functions to the mouse event looks like this.
function startSpring(){
var mBack:springback = new springback();
var mFace:springface = new springface();
var mChar:springchar = new springchar();
[code]....
I'm using TweenLite class (AS3), I have very big project, should I removelistener of timingSprite.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateAll, false, 0, true); in Tweenlite.as file, after my animation is complete? i'm affraid that ENTER_FRAME causes memory leak for my project.
View 2 RepliesI have narrowed this error down to the following code, but i cant see the problem...
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ENTER_FRAME not found on flash.events.Event and there is no default value.
at sample_fla::MainTimeline/frameEventHandler()
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,frameEventHandler)
function frameEventHandler(Event){
var collisions:Array = collisionList.checkCollisions();
[code].....
When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.

I know my method is all wrong .. but here's the history I dev'd a number of modules via the timeline they all had essentially the same script thought ?? .. a class would make maint easier/cleaner so I went through a laborious but educational process now I seem to have created a interesting issue I'm hoping you folks can add insight to because the timeline holds objects I need a ref to them from within the class and I pass this to the class methods

when I try to make a addEventListener I get an error: Line 20 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event.

To make a preloader work on frame 1 I can't use 'export to first frame' on a library sound file. This would mess up my preloader. So I deselected that option and instead dragged the sound file (with 'export for actionscript' still selected) to frame 2. Frame 1 would include the preloader part but for testing purposes I just placed gotoAndPlay(3) there. This would immediately skip frame 2 (with the sound file) and continue from frame 3. Frame 3 would later be the start for the main movie. But for now I just placed this code:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound(); my_sound.attachSound("soundfile.mp3"); my_sound.start(); Testing the movie I found out that the sound played twice on top of each other. So I replaced above code with comment lines:
[Code]...
I've imported a sound into the library. Normally it would have to have 'export for actionscript' and 'export in first frame' selected to make attachSound work. When using a preloader however, I would have to deselect the 'export in first frame' option, otherwise the preloader would start as from 60% or something. So I deselected that one and instead dragged the sound file to the stage between the preloader on frame 1 and the main movie as from frame 3.
When the preloader is finished it would use gotoAndPlay(3) the skip frame 2 with the sound in it. Because the sound file isn't using 'export in first frame' but is included in frame 2, it is not playing, but loaded nevertheless. That way later on as from frame 3 I still could use attachSound. I've tested it with attached file, but it isn't working like expected. In frame 1 (which would be the preloader bit), I just used gotoAndPlay(3).
Frame 2 is the keyframe with the sound dragged on stage. This should be skipped by frame 1. Frame 3 has some comment lines so isn't doing anything yet (just placed some typical attachSound lines, but with comment slashes). Now, although frame 1 is skipping frame 2 and the soundfile isn't using 'export in first frame', the sound is playing nevertheless? How is this possible?
To make it more weird: if I shift these 3 frames to the right, let's say frame 2, 3, and 4, it is working like expected and the sound isn't playing because a gotoAndPlay(4) is skipping frame 3? Why the sound is playing when it is skipped with a gotoAndPlay(3) in the first frame? I know how to make it work, but I'm interested in why it doesn't work when the swf starts from frame 1.
I'm using Flash CS5 with AS2. However, there's this project I'm working on right now. When I simulate a download, the preloader is somehow skipped. I'm staring at a blank screen for a minute instead of a preloader and then the main menu pops up. You just see the preloader for one single frame.
Now the code for my preloader is really the standard code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();onEnterFrame = function(){
p = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal();
percent_txt.text = String(Math.round(100*p)) + " %";
if(p == 1){ nextFrame();
delete onEnterFrame;
}}
I have some code on frames 2 and 3, but I tried to see what would happen if I left it out, and the same thing occurs regardless of there being code on frames 2 and 3. All I can really tell you that may mean something is the file size is 2.9 MB. Why Flash Player doesn't just display the preloader, especially since I've never encountered this before.
Let's say I click next song, it starts loading the next song, then I click next song again before the first song finishes loading. Will the program continue streaming the first song as well as stream the second song?
Code:
private function NewSong (plus) {
if (sound.bytesLoaded / sound.bytesTotal < 1) {
sound.close ();
} sound = null;
songtimer.stop ();
songplaying = false;
channel.stop ();
[Code] .....
This is the code that handles when a new song is to be played. I would think that the first few lines of code would close the stream if it's still loading but I'm not sure. When I click next song like say 10 times, it takes a really long time for the song to stop buffering and start playing. The main question still remains: Will it continue loading songs I skipped over?
