ActionScript 3.0 :: Exporting Classes On Frame 2?
Apr 29, 2010
I am making a site in flash and trying to add a preloader. I followed some steps from this [URL] and it says to change the AS settings to export classes on frame 2. This makes the preloader work but now I cannot see any items added to the stage from the library. In my init() function I tried adding gotoAndStop(3); but that doesnt do anything. [URL]The main file is Test.fla. The code that adds the objects that I cannot see is in Test.as and the objects that I cannot see are menuBG, menuBGL, menuBGR, menuBGB, shader, grid, and imageStatus, or anything that is imported from the library.

I have a large flash app (> 100k) w/ its own looping preloader animation in the first frame. This preloader should happily spin while the app loads. (For various important reasons, I can't use a separate SWF to load the app.)Bug:When I export the classes in a later frame, all of the preloader animation's simple timeline commands (stop, gotoAndPlay) stop working.Test:I can reproduce this in a very simple test:The red ball should stop (as seen in example 1) and doesn't (example 2).Question:Do any of you know how to get around this? I've been trying everything I can think of and haven't found a solution. If this is unbeatable, it seems the only real timeline preloader you can do is a code-drawn progress bar

I was asked to update some information on a certain project. The weird thing is that whenever I try to export the movie from Flash (I work with CS3 Professional), I get errors. Before even changing anything. All of them are reporting MovieClip not being recognized ("The class...... must subclass flash.display.MovieClip since it is linked to a library symbol of that type" (and a few SimpleButtons too). There is a total of 57 errors. All the classes import and extend MovieClip.
Now I'm pretty sure this doesn't have anything to do with the code itself, since this project was already published and tested working as it is. I tried adding Class paths in the preferences menu but this didn't seem to help.

Anyone might know why a movie I'm attaching with 'attachMovie ' method screws up my preloader? During the preview my preloader disappeared. So I clicked off the 'export in 1st frame' check box and suddenly my preloader shows.

My website has hundreds of flash graphs that are all being updated automatically via web services and external xml. My boss wants to publish a book now and the publisher needs the graphs in vector format. My problem is that the flash graphs first load data, then draw the charts dynamically.
Is there any solution to export the SWF after it has loaded my data and preserve the dynamically generated graph? Some graphs have a drill down feature that is only accessible after there is user interaction. These sub-graphs are important to capture in that moment.
Screen shots are not vectors, so they will not work.
I basically need to find a way to export a swf frame after its done loading.

I am using Flash CS3, and creating a game in AS2. Is there a way I can make a movieclip export in another frame other than 1st? Such as frame 3? I had to uncheck all of the movieclips exporting in frame 1, but now they don't work. Is it possible to export them in Frame 3?

is it possible to use attachMovie without exporting the MC in the first frame.because i tried to do it so i wouldn't have problems preloading, but when i uncheck export in first frame it doesn't show up at all. here is my code just in case it mattered.
i have five buttons 'b1, b2, b3, b4 and b5' and 5 mc 'words1, words2, words3, words4, and words5' being attached to an empty mc on root called 'holder'.
Code:
for (var i = 1; i<6; i++) {
_root.nav["b"+i].onPress = function() {
num = this._name.toString().substring(1, 2);
_root.holder.attachMovie("words"+num, "words"+num, _root.holder.getNextHighestDepth());
};
}

I made a thread about this over on ultrashock and nobody seemed to know the answer, so maybe Kirupa knows! It's like this, I've got a music file in the library of my flash, and I want to play it using ActionScript. So far so good, so I go into properties of the music file and check for it to export for actionscript, and export it to frame 1. But what I've noticed is that then the music file loads BEFORE the preloader, so the preloader doesn't show up in this relatively small flash until it's at the very end. Before that it just seems like the flash isn't working cause nothing shows up. But if I uncheck ""export to frame 1", the sound won't play at all! So what I'm wondering is how I export the sound to actionscript AFTER the preloader

I have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript. When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded.
The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete. Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)

I'm unable to make it work :Flash exports the first frame in the SWF file as a PNG file, unless you mark a different keyframe for export by entering the #Static frame label.When publishing the fla, the png is build from the frame that is currently displayed in flash (if my timeline is at frame 3, frame 3 get exported)

I have some fairly large movieclips in the library which need to be dynamically loaded at runtime. I don't want to export them all in frame 1, because that would slow down initial loading of the movie. I tried putting an instance of each of these clips later in the timeline where they wouldn't normally be encountered. When I then tried to load one from the library dynamically, I was able to successfully get an instance of the movieclip, but its currentFrame property was 0 and I couldn't see anything on the stage. As soon as I enabled "Export in frame 1", it worked properly. Does this old trick of putting an instance on the timeline somewhere no longer work in AS3?

I'm attempting to include a preloader to a photo gallery I have already.Each works fine separately, but when put together there's a problem. So, initially with "export to first frame" checked in the "convert to symbol" dialog box for each image and thumbnail I have, there is no problem except that the preloader is just about never seen since all the content is loaded in the same place. When I uncheck the "export to first frame" it gives me an error in the output box: ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable image1 is not defined.

If we have declared some variables on a particular frame, say frame 20 in the actionscript coding window, can we use these variables defined on a frame in a class? Is there something like a global variable which must be declared to do this?The class extends to movieClip and it has been encapsulated by a movieClip which is then put on the stage to run it when the corresponding frame plays.

What I want to do is compile an .fla with nothing on the stage but several of the movieclips are set to export on first frame in the properties linkage manager. When the .swf runs, I want to loop through and get the names of all the exported assets so I can place them in an array and manipulate them later.
I want to turn the code over to the art team where all they have to do is attach my .as file for the document class. I will not know what they name their movieclips, yet they are instructed to name them alphabetically according to what order they should appear. (My code is a sort of self contained slide show).

After switching to AS3, I've been having a hell of a time figuring out the best way to manage MovieClips that have UI elements spread across multiple frames with a single class. An example that I am working on now is a simple email form. I have a MovieClip with two frames:
the 1st frame has the form elements (text inputs, submit button) the 2nd frame has a "you" message and a button to go back to the first frame (to send another email) In the library I have linked the MovieClip to a custom class (Emailer). My immediate problem is how do I assign a MouseEvent.CLICK event to the button on the 2nd frame? I should note at this point that I am trying to avoid putting code on the timeline (except for stop() calls). This is how I am 'solving' the problem now:
Emailer registers an event listener for a frame change ( addEventListener("frame 2", onFrameChange) )On the 2nd frame of the MovieClip I am calling dispatchEvent(new Event("frame 2")); (I would prefer to not have this code on the frame, but I don't know what else to do)
My two complaints with this method are that, first I have calls to addEventListener spread out across different class methods (I would rather have all UI event listeners registered in one method), and second that I have to dispatch those custom "onFrameChange" events. The second complaint grows exponentially for MovieClips that have more than just 2 frames.
My so called solution feels makes me feel dirty and makes my brain hurt. I am looking for any advice on what to do differently. Perhaps there's a design pattern I should be looking at? Should I swallow my pride and write timeline code even though the rest of my application is written in class files (and I abhor the Flash IDE code editor)?
I absolutely LOVE the event system, and have no problem coding applications with it, but I feel like I'm stuck thinking in terms of AS2 when working with mutl-frame movieclips and code.

When I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?
This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?

Is there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)

The examples I'll use don't do anything - they're classes without ANY members - no variables, methods, anything.
Let's say I extends Sprite and call it MySprite.
I save it in test.core
[code]...
Now I create another custom class called MyWindow that extends MySprite.
I save it in test.windows
[code]...
Then I create another class that extends MyWindows (the example I'll use is a document class - but that doesn't matter - I've tested using an instance too).
[code]...
Notice that I'm not even trying to instantiate the helper classes - just having them there throws the error.
If there is only a single helper class, everything runs fine.
Also note that - as far as I can tell - this only happens when extending one class from another package, then extending that class with more than one helper object.I'm pretty sure there's no namespace bumps or typographical errors, as this is a very pared-down version of the original application.
EDIT: seems the problem exists even without the crossing packages - even extending MySprite in the document class with multiple internal classes generates this error.

I am creating a library in AS3. Inside the library I make use of a bunch of classes/packages that need not be exposed to the end user of my lib. I want to only expose one of these classes.
I guess my questions are:
1) How are libraries commonly distributed in AS3?
2) Is there a .jar equivalent in AS3 that developers can include, but will only have access/knowledge of the classes I've declared as public?

I'm trying to import a class from a class that is located in another folder. How do you move up a directory? Using./ or ../ doesn't seem to work. Essentially I want to access a TweenLite Class but not from the document class. My class is at com/myName and the class I want to access is at com/TweenLite. import ../TweenLite doesn't work... I realize I could just copy and paste the entire Tweenlite folder again, but there's got to be a less duplicative way of doing this..

inheritance and building classes from other classes.
I have 3 classes:
gfxRoomText - changeable colour
gfxRomInter - changeable colour - interactive
gfxRoomImg - interactive - only image / no colour
The first two incorporate the same text field and functions to change colour. The second and third incorporate another class to interactive with. What is the best way of creating these classes using inheritance and how?
