ActionScript 3.0 :: Event.Enter Frame Causes Button To Float?
Aug 23, 2011The problem is that when I Rollover on the buttons it changes the position and floats.
I've attached the FLA and SWF files below to explain it in a better way.[URL]..

Why won't this ENTER_FRAME event stop firing when I call view_stats_exit before going to view_start? public function view_start [code]
View 1 Replieswhat I'm trying to do: I have an animation thats 173 frames long - an intro to a html based website. This swf file is embedded in the index.html, and is to load my "main-html", when the animation is complete.To try and do this iv'e tried with the following code in a blank keyframe in my as3 code layer on the last frame of the animation: [code]Upon completed animation it just goes into a frantic loop which seems to be trying to connect to my "main.html", but never have a chance to completely connect before it tires again.I have used similar code for my buttons, inside the page itself, which works just fine.
View 3 Repliesthe code below is placed on one frame of the main timeline...it works, but apparently continually triggers the "gotoAndPlay" action over and over again. How can an ENTER_FRAME event be made to play a moive clip such as "staged_kiss_mc" only once?
The playhead on the main timeline rests in this single frame for a while; it would be great if "staged_kiss_mc" were to only play once, when the playhead first enters this frame, rather than apparently repeating continually...is there code to stop this repetition?

I have added a new tutorial on the EnterFrame event in ActionScript 3. This tutorial is almost 40 minutes in length and goes into the syntax of using the EnterFrame event and as an added feature there is a discussion on adding filters to a Sprite in
ActionScript 3.
I have also completed the polling system on the website. There are now three active polls asking the users of the site for their opinions on the tutorials, the website itself and what they would like to see developed in the way of future tutorials. Users can vote more than once, but I am tracking the user IP so that when it comes time to slice the data I can gather accurate information. Just thought I would announce that up front.
The next group of tutorials under development will be the conditional statements used in ActionScript. The IF, ELSE IF and SWITCH statements. I am looking forward to those tutorials as we can now start making the tutorials much more interesting putting
all we have learned together.
i created couple instances of movieclip with some simple animation inside, want it to animate when mouse is over, and animate backwards when mouse is out.[code]it works better, only one instance move, but if i move mouse over second instance before first one finish moving back to the first frame (and remove listener), again both instances animate together, like they are using the same timeline.
View 3 RepliesI have two buttons and a light blue circle. When you press the second button from the left, it changes the variable name to "boxTwo".In the circle video clip I have a enterframe with a condition to say, if the name is "boxTwo" play an animation, but it doesn't work.
Button:
Code:
on(release){
var name = "boxTwo";
_root[name].gotoAndStop(12);
trace(name);
}
On the circle MC that contains the animation
Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
trace(_root.name);
if(_root.name == "boxTwo"){
circle.gotoAndPlay("loop");
}
}
How do you stop an ENTER_FRAME event after two tweens have executed?I have an AS3 package-based-classes Flash website loading nicely. The very last effect is the hover or active state for the button for the current page to tell the user what page they're on. I want the button's active state to execute using an ENTER_FRAME event and NOT using a Timer method. Mainly because I'd simply like to know how it's done and also because I've already used several timers to load the API. But, using the code below, I can't stop the ENTER_FRAME precisely after two tweens have fired - the Alpha tween and the Tweener that pulls the a blur effect into focus.[code]
I've tried several IF and ELSE IF conditions to tell Home.removeEventListener(Event. ENTER_ FRAME, OverState); exactly when to occur but the IF conditions either removeEventListener too soon, before the two tweens have fired, or the IF conditions just don't execute at all and the ENTER_FRAME trace continues on ad infinitum. You can use IF conditions that precisely operate on stage X and Y positions. But I can't figure out how to make an IF condition execute precisely after the two Tweens.How do you stop an ENTER_FRAME event PRECISELY after two tweens have executed so that Home.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_ FRAME,OverState); executes at exactly the right point?

how do I get arguments to work with Enter frame event in as3?
I frequently see the usage of ENTER_FRAME and EXIT_FRAME event types in AS3 code. I can even use the first event type just blindly to get certain things done. But I want to clear my concepts on these very fundamental things. My qeries are as below:When do the above 2 event types take place - I mean what triggers them?Does ENTER_FRAME trigger at the rate of FPS? If a MovieClip spans over 48 frames and the FPS = 24 - does this mean the ENTER_FRAME will occur 48 times for the full life-span of the MovieClip?Regarding the EXIT_FRAME, I could not find any example or description yet.
View 2 RepliesI have a UILoader on the main timeline, then I have to load an external mc with a ENTER_FRAME event in it. When I load something else, I found the ENTER_FRAME event is still working. Why doesn't it unload with the mc?
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble getting the Video class to work.. Everything works fine until I try to add an on enter frame event listener to the movie. I basically want to overlay an effect that gets updated every frame but adding the event listener causes the movie to freeze before it loads or on the first frame or just shortly after starting play back.. Check out the source code at [URL]
It freezes even if the enter frame method body is commented out so I don't think it's because of extra overhead..
Is this possible? I have looked around but I can't really find anything.
View 3 RepliesHow do I detect the enter key being pressed on my button and fire the click event handler? (For example on a TextInput field there is an 'enter' event).
View 2 RepliesIf I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?
View 7 RepliesI have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame. What I want to do is essentially remove the button and only have to hit the enter key to submit my text and to move to the specified frame. Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
[Code]...
I'm trying to just hit the enter key instead of having to click the submit button. I've been trying to get it working for the past couple of hours but haven't had any luck. My best guess is that the enter key isn't valid because it's an input box and may be confused with trying to create a new line (even though my input box is set to single line and not multiline). If so, is there any other way to do this?
I have a files that is loading and parsing a huge amount of data from a csv file and creating and plotting a graph using the data. All is well if I have the file loaded on the first frame of the movie. But if I pass in the URL by entering the file name in a text input field and clicking a button. The X and Y axis values disappear as do intermittent notes placed above the bar graph. I still see the x and y axis and it's hash marks and the bar graph (shapes) but all of the text is gone.

I have a small flash site made up of a number of pages all on the one timeline.
The query is this. When i release a button i want the timeline to roll on for x frames (fading components out) before going to the frame that button links to (The beginning of the new page).
I have no idea what AS to use for this.
No matter where in the timeline you are, the button should fade out that area and then skip to a new one.
is there way make swf like this : http:[url]......
View 1 Repliesis there an action script code that enables the timeline to automatically enter a frame label on entering a certain frame.

I am completely new to AS3, and am trying to learn the basics, but have been having issues with what I think should be a simple command. I need to have two frames, the first one with a simple button that when clicked loads frame two and on frame two a seperate button that when clicked loads frame one.
When I try using the following type of event handler, i can link from frame 1 to 2, but not back and get an error message:

I am developing a multiple choice question answer. I have a movie clip in frame 2 where the radio buttons and question choices are displayed.I am trying to define a event for the radio button in the movie clip's first frame. But i show questions in random order. Say for example the first question to show is fifth I move the movieclip to 5th frame. The event is not firing since it is declared in the first frame.Should i place the button event code in each and every single frame or is there anyother option for this.
View 0 RepliesI have a button on the stage called enterCostBtn that when it is pressed it executes the code inside the calculateCost function. What I want to do is to be able to use the ENTER key on my keyboard to trigger that function. In other words I would like to be able to use the ENTER key or click directly on the enterCostBtn to trigger this function.
Code:
enterCostBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,calculateCost,false,0,true);
function calculateCost(event:MouseEvent):void {
var material:Number=Number(Material_txt.text);
var labor:Number=Number(Labor_txt.text);

i want to put a condition on the button event on (release) to check which frame of the movie symbol is stopped. something like if(frame 3 is stoped) gotoAndPlay(14).
View 3 Repliesi'm just trying to do something really basic and I'm stumped.all i want to do is create a radom number onEnterFrameits to go at the end of a game i've made and the score will be radom at the end screenso far I have this below but it will not stop it just keeps going and going i've put stop(); in but that does not seem to work. I know its simple but I just can't see it.
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
display = Math.round (Math.random (10)*9)+1;
}
So I've about hundred of map tiles and each title has some object which does some stuff. And one of things it should do is to update text (a time after which you need to do something) in text field. How should i do it better - with enter frame event and on each enter frame update it or set up a timer object which on each second would update the text in text field?
