AS3
Code:
// years down
[code].....
i couldnt attach my demo, its basically two buttons on stage, that play two seperate sound files, they can be turned on and off by a simple boolean.All songs are short sound files (going to be 10 second loops)What i want to know is, is there anyway to not start either of the sounds until the other one has finished its loop, so they are synchronised, so if i start one button off, and then put button 2 on midway through, it actually waits until buttons 1 sound is back at the start of its loop cycle until it starts to play it.If this is possible then i am excited as i am going to make a small little project [code]i have started working my way through the tutorials and already understand so much more about the basic concepts of AS3,
View 4 RepliesI have created a class named XMLclass and inside that class there is a function named returnFillColor.The function looks like this:
Code:
public function returnFillColor(XMLchild:uint):String{
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
[code]....
When i call this function from my main class, it returns nothing because the XML wasn't done loading. I've double-checked this by adding addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE) outside the function.Is there any way to return data from the xml-file with just one function?(like adding event.Complete to the returnFillColor-function)
I am having an issue with a class I'm working on. I currently load an image as a bitmap and store its data into regState:BitmapData so that I may make new instances of that image later on. When I test if I can use the loaded data at a later time with my newBitmapIntance() function, it says that regState is null. I'm lost as to why this is the case, since it works flawlessly to create an instance of itself in my loadContent() function.
Class so far For reference:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I'd like to signal a function to run when another function completes.I am filling a scrollPane with some dynamic content and want it to resize once the content has filled in some dynamic text boxes.I'd like to signal a resize function once the function that fills in the scrollPane completes.I tried something like this but it does not seem I can add this sort of listener to a funciton.
scrollPanePopulate.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, scrollPaneResize);
I might be missing something obvious or just be headed down the wrong path.
Im wondering if i can just call a function when another function complete's.
ex:
function adware(e:MouseEvent): void {
exit.visible = true;
TweenLite.to(powerButton, 1, {x:-300});

i wanted to use an event listener to call a function when another function as been completed. this is the code i tried: import caurina.transitions.*;
createBox.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, createBox2);
function createBox(){
var boxMc:box = new box();
boxMc.width = stage.stageWidth;
boxMc.height = 200;
[Code]...
Is there a way to add a listener or something to a function so when it's finished it will run another function?
I need to run a function in a class, and when it's completed run a function on the main timeline or elsewhere.
I am creating an intro where a sequence of tweens and transitons are triggered. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get an event to happen when a transition is complete. How can I get "headTitleTm" to trigger the "sigIn" function once it is done?
Code:
function headTitleTransition(event:TweenEvent):void{[code]............

I am attempting to build a generic XMLLoader class with a static LOAD method, with the intent to use it as follows...
private var _data:XML = XMLLoader.LOAD("path/to/xml_file.xml");
Then I could use it in any client and go-to-town with e4x.
The general problem I am having is with the URLLoader's COMPLETE event, which necessarily calls a different function to set the XML data.This is preventing me from being able to return the XML from the LOAD method, since the data is being set outside that function. Obviously I need to wait for the COMPLETE event in order to make sure the data is available.
I though, perhaps, I could create and return a _waitForData function, which recursively calls itself until the _data is set, then returns the data. But it seems redundant (since Event.COMPLETE is doing that anyway), and the way I tried it generates a stack overflow error.[code]...
I am running a loop to pull thumbs into a containing movieclip from an xml list. What I want to do is have the thumb's parent movieclip fade in after they are done loading, but I can't figure out how to reference the parent once it's loaded.My code(which currently doesn't work the way I want it):
var vsThumb:articleBox;
var currentarticleX:Number = 0;
var articleLinkURL:String;

So, I'm trying to load resources, add them to a dictionary, and have a drawing method search through that dictionary and draw based on certain predicates. I have a function that iterates through an Vector of Strings, calling on an instance of Loader to load them instantiated as a URLRequest.
private function loadImages(urls:Vector.<String>):void
{
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
So the issue is: Only the first images in my Vector are drawing. Upon further inspection, I found that the completeHandler was only being called once (I put a trace in the complete handler to check). However, the Loader is invoking load everytime the loop iterates. I tried instantiating separate loaders for each resource, just to see if it would work, but I had no luck with that. Do I need to make separate loaders and event handlers? Or am I just not using Loader correctly?
im trying to make an event listener for a when a tween completes, and im not having any luck, any advise

how can i make it call the removebomb function after the tween is completed?
I am trying to create an event listener to check that a function has completed before the next action is run. In simple terms I have a module that is opened and closed via two functions... module_open() and module_close().Each function has tween elements that must complete before the next element is processed... i.e the next function, etc.This is the code I have ( have attempted to create an event listener but I seem doing something wrong. I am not even sure that it is possible to create an event listener that checks for a function finishing before calling the next function.
Code:
function onAbout(event:Event):void {
module_close()
module_close.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onClose_Complete);

I am trying to run some code after the XMLConnector triggerfunction is completely done loading all of the xml data into theflash file and the bindings are updated. Is there an event or somekind of way to pause and run the code after all the radiobuttonsand checkboxes are updated with the xml boolean values?
View 1 Repliesi am trying to return an XML object, but having issues. The object is only created via an Event.complete function. I need to return the XML created from my loadXML function via my grabXMLfromFile function.

I made a test where I download a file using URLLoader - something like this:

in the middle of the downloading process I physically disconnect the internet connection. the download stalls - but after aproximately 30 seconds downloadSuccessful is invoked, although only half of the data was downloaded. how can I make sure that the data to be downloaded is complete and correct?
I am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?
View 0 RepliesI basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.

Is it true that Google cant recognize text paragraphs etc within a flash website ? Theres been mixed opinions about this whereas im able to see it identifying text within flash homepages that ive made. Is this because the text is also stored into the html counterpart when we hit publish ?
Of this is true then google cant see text in .swf files that contain text but load into a container flash file. Eg. the home page contains the html counterpart. But then hitting enter loads another swf into the original html home page. In other words the file thats been external loaded doesnt have a html counterpart. Then google cant see text thats within those loaded .swf files ?
I was given the task of adding a preloader to an already existing flash website. The website is completely in flash. Each "page" is on a layer and are made of animated movie clips. It is a portfolio website, so some pages take a while to load up. That's where the preloader comes in. I want to put a preloader at the very beginning of the page that will play as the entire site is being loaded, so when the user clicks through, each page shows up quickly and seamlessly.
I have created a preloader in a separate flash file, but can not get it to work with the website. How do I combine these two files to work?
I'm trying to get a loader working in a flex web application, but it isn't responding to the complete event. Is there a change I should make to the code here, or some way that I can handle an error event to get more information?

I have an arbitrary number of images I want to load. I want to load them, wait until I get an Event.INIT for each, and only then proceed with the rest of the program. I know I can do that by having an Event.INIT listener update and check some count variable, but is that the standard approach? Is there a more elegant or AS-specific way?
