this is probably a very simple mistake made by many beginners. Basically, I have a preloader loading an external swf. The external swf is an image sequence. I wrote actionscript so you can scrub through the image sequence using the keyboard arrows. This works by itself but does not work when preloaded.

Is there a way to make code on the timeline and code in a separate AS file communicate with each other?I have two buttons, a yes button and a no button.I have a confirm box which is a movie clip. In the movie clip I have the two buttons on it and code so that every time one of the buttons is clicked it runs a function.I have the rest of my code for the movie (so the code to make the confirm box appear) on a separate AS file.Is there a way I can define the functions on the movie clip and run the functions with the separate AS file?
View 7 RepliesI am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')]
public function Globe()
{
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.
I have an Actionscript coded flash file which run perfectly without any error. I am not getting why it shows an error after i do insert a scene before or a frame before the current frames;

I have searched all of the engines to find out why my SharedObject code is not working. It works when I publish from flash but not when live? I have this code in the first frame and the movie starts on the second. I only want the user to have to view the swf every other time they land on the page containing the movie. I am using AS2.
var replay = SharedObject.getLocal("save");
if (replay.data.name == undefined){
gotoAndPlay(2);
[code]....
on (press) {
_root.mySlider.mySound.stop();
if (_root.mySlider.mySound.stop()) {
_root.dl = "Sound is Stopped...";
[code]....
this is on the stop_btn to stop music on playing and also show the text "Sound is Stopped" and as soon as the user click on play button the text is "playing"but this code seems to be not working?
I can place the following code on a movieclip:
PHP Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
gravity = 0.2;
yspeed = 0;

And it'll work fine, however if I place it like this on a frame in the movieclip:
PHP Code:
this.onLoad = function() {
gravity = 0.2;
yspeed = 0;

It doesn't work

I created a drag and drop quiz following an online tutorial. It worked fine. Then I made a different one. I cut and pasted the code from the working file into the new one and changed the names of the movie clip instances. When exported (control +enter) I can pick up the MCs I want but I can't drop them; they just stay stuck to the cursor until I click on another MC. I have gone through the code and I can't find anything wrong. It just doesn't work I'm stumped. Here are the working and not working versions:
var counter:Number = 0;
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;

You would think that SOMETHING would happen now. Even if its just a strange movement of some kind. But nothing does happen. Not even an error message of any sort. I started messing with that X and Y value but nadda thing. All of my movie clips are named correctly. card1, card2 and card3. Maybe it has something to do with the packages? I have never used components before like tweenlite. I took the files and just placed them in the folder with my flash movie.
Okay, so I want it so when I press the button the cheese ON TOP of the bird appears/disappears. It works with the cheese outside of the bird movieclip but not on the cheese inside the movieclip.
View 6 RepliesI have this code creates a function at runtime (yes, this IS needed):
PHP Code:
var createdFunction = function():void {
trace("Function Created");
}
createdFunction();
Putting in in to the actions panel in Flash CS4 and compiling works fine, tracing the message "Function Created"...However, the Flex compiler gives me this
Quote:
Error: Call to a possibly undefined method createdFunction.
createdFunction();
Build halted with errors (fcsh).
I have had this problem for a long time and have not been able to fix it. I am using ActionScript 1, although if you can help me using AS2 I should be able to change it. I have a static movie clip with no code referring to it called "ship". Its center point is 275, 324.9. I have a series of planets coming down from the top of the screen and I need to check whether you "died" or not. The planets movie clips are contained inside blank movie clips that are there so thre registration point does not change. I was using the code
Code:
if(this.hitTest(275, 324.9, true)){
gotoAndPlay("gameover");
}
Not sure if the problem is that javascript is not allowed in navigateToURL(), but the following code does not work as intended:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:resizeTo(1024,768)"); navigateToURL(req, "_self");
Is there an easy alternative? Perhaps a syntax change?
I am using the following code snippet: but this error occurs Line 6 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method play through a reference with static type flash.media:Video. img1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPlayVideo);
function fl_ClickToPlayVideo(event:MouseEvent):void
{
video_1.play(); //the error is referring to this line here
}
Would i have to add something there?

Now I'm working on a Website which contains a XML Carousel Gallery, with the coding below.Now this all happens on the homepage. I would like to stop the xml on other frames though. Is there any coding I can use on my Buttons, to stop the XML working while going to another frame?

The code works fine, but every time I click Auto Format it changes the code so it doesn't work anymore, giving me all kinds of errors. I perceive this as something imperfect in the code and potentially preventing it from working as efficiently.

i am still having problems with the quiz i am doing. You sent me the code:-
if (check1 == true && pa1 == answer){
"well done you has chosen the right answer";
} else {[code]......
I think there is possibly something wrong with my checkboxes, as this is the only part (check1 == true) which isn't working at all in the code.The checkboxes and the buttons are all within the movie clip, have also tried them outside it aswell.
[code]It works fine when I press the button but not when I press the enter key.Just to set the context I want users to be able to use enter to enter an answer into a grid before moving on to the next cell. My cells are all labelled A1, A2 etc so that I didn't get confused. As I am and will always be a newbie I couldn't figure out a function to do what I wanted so came up with what is probably a long winded way around: store the textfield instance name in an array and then call the item in the array in conjunction with setFocus - like I say it works when I click the button (which I intend to hide off screen).

I'm trying to check through an array to see if any of my movie clips are currently on frame 15, before taking giant leaps I was trying to just get it to work with one var in the array before all of them, for some reason this code is not working, the trace is not coming up.
Code:
stop();
var anybtn:Array = [btn1_mc, btn2_mc];
trace(anybtn[1]);
btn1.onPress = function(){
if(anybtn[1]._currentframe == 15){
trace ("Array Check Working"); .....
If someone would like to go a step further and show me how to check through all movie clips. There will be many more than btn1_mc and btn2_mc so I will definitely need to use an array.
My Flash Cs5 I was Update..update say : version 11.0.1 but i view About flash : 11.0.0.485 and when I write some code : Code hint not working??
View 2 RepliesI've been really frustrated with the code hinting in CS5. It doesn't seem to work like it should. It appears to work fine if I am placing the code on the timeline, but if I create a class file I lose the class code hinting even for simple types like Boolean. The other thing I noticed is after the class file has been created even if I go back to the code on the timeline it has now lost code hinting. The only way to get them back is to close the fla I was working and close flash itself.how to resolve this or is this a legitimate bug? If others have seen this happen please post so that we can get some attention brought to this. It seems to work fine if you create flex components and then edit them in Flash Builder.

BUT when i am moving the html and swf file over a web server (WAMP in my case), the response from yahoo is no longer working for me, i have checked it in both localhost, and on remote server. what can be the issue? it seems so strange to me..
View 10 RepliesOk so I have this simple animation I created of a circle that moves from one side of the stage to the other. I have added a new layer and called it buttons. On this layer I have added 2 buttons. One for start and another one for stop. The purpose is to get my circle to move from one side of the stage to the other but be able to use my buttons so that I can start and stop the animations at random times during playback. I fixed all my compiler errors now the problem lies in that everytime I click the start or the stop button I get an output error. I have a 3rd layer in which is titled actions and this is where all my code is posted. I removed that layer and placed my code in the first frame of the buttons layer to see if this would change anything but I still get the same output errors. So I just added back my actions layer. What could I be doing wrong? I have made sure to name all my movie clips and buttons correctly and I even added an instance name to them.[code]Here is my code and the errors I am getting when I press the play and stop button on test.Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am working on a project in flash cs4 and have Adobe Air 1.5 as player as this will be air appi. But other than using localstore to save my data everything else is pure flash as3 code. Nothing special really. And I was just about to finish it when this problem occurred. If I delete a layer that has nothing else but a picture inside which I was using to position movies correctly, everything in frame 3 where my main code is stops working. It doesn't trace anything, it just stops but actions on frame 1 and 2 work just fine. I don't get any errors either.
I deleted all the code from my main action layer in frame 3 and it still doesn't trace simple trace("aa");. As if everything I've put on the layers can't be changed or it just stops working. Same thing if I change a sound in the library, just updating it with another and it stops working. I just can't find the answer really. I rearranged things, deleted movies, basically everything and still no answer. I even tested it in flash cs3 and same thing happens. But I used this kind of methods before (deleting layers that I didn't need) and never had this problem before.
