ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting Output With Array Function And Trace?
Oct 12, 2011
I'm working through some tutorials from my instructor to eventually build a simple e-com website for a state park. Basically, I'm using the two as3 files shown below and trying to get "bob" in my output with an array function and trace. Load store function is intentionally coded out. When I test project, nothing comes up in output, and I have no errors.
Main012.as:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Main012 extends MovieClip {
public function Main012() {
[Code] .....
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
How do you send the output of a function to a dynamic text field on the stage instead of the output panel?I have used trace(); but that just sends the value to the output panel.
I'm teaching myself ActionScript and the book I'm reading just got into input text capabilities. The book shows me how to link input text to a variable and output that text to the output window using trace. My question is: how can I display the text that the user input onto the actual movie. For example... if I wanted the visitor to type their name into the input text box and click Submit and then a phrase shows up with their name such as "Hold on Name, my site will be done soon." How do I reference that variable and have it actually display in my movie?
I'm new to flash but I have over 15 years in software and 20 in IT.In everything I have worked with so far in Flash I've used trace( message ) to put a message in the output window. Then it just stopped.
I've never had this happen before and it's stumped me...yesterday the output panel stopped outputting traces ie. 'trace("hello"); is not working! The Omit Traces in teh Publish Settings is not ticked...I'm wondering whether i have accidentally pushed a short cut key which stops this functioning?
I'm trying to trace the output of one value in my XML file: Code: <advertList> <ad> <name>AD0</name> <picture>ad0.jpg</picture> <caption>This is Ad0</caption> [Code] .....
It's giving me the Error TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Function/<anonymous>() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I am not sure even what to call this but if I have set a text field value and other various values with functions in AS3 to where I can trace the values in the output panel. How do I then capture that data to be sent to fields in a shopping cart? Make sense?
I'm developing an applications which I've got running on a server on my linux desktop. Due to the shortcomings of Flash on Linux (read: too hard) I'm developing the (small) flash portion of the app in Windows, which means there's a lot of frustrating back and forth. Now I'm trying to capture the output of the flash portion using flash tracer and that is proving very difficult also. Is there any other way I could monitor the output of trace on linux?
I am extremely new to as3 and just have started coding in as3. I have the following code in a001.as file Code: package { import flash.display.Sprite; public class FirstCode extends Sprite { public function FirstCode() { trace("yes"); }}} It seems extremely simple and I feel very positive that there is no error in this code.
And this line in a001.fla Code: import as3.a001; The .as file is in as3 folder so I think the import should work fine. The one (and only) problem (that could arise) is that the trace leaves nothing in the output window. I tried various other codes instead of this but to no avail. None work. Its just a blank screen. By the way I have Flash CS4.
Now i am learning Oops concepts.... It going welll..... but i have doubt in some places....

I put this script in Brick.as file. Actionscript Code: import com.adobe.ooas3.Brick;var firstBrick:Brick = new Brick(); I put this script in my_flash.fla file. I got the out put from this example file. I am clear with this. Because the class name and function name are same. But,
[Cdoe]....
In the above script the class name and function name are different.... What script should i put in the fla file to get the output?
I am currently developing a flash application that would allow a user to control a movieclip on the stage using 2 keyboard inputs (like turning 2 knobs in order to align something).I have it set up that on the 2 keyboard inputs, the movieclip moves.What I am looking at doing is using trace statements that I use to track the position of the movieclip, which is just a simple black dot, and having the values of the trace statement show up on screen in 2 dynamic text fields, after being rounded to the nearest whole integer. The dot is in the movieclip entitled mCoordPlane.My script is below:
stop(); mAligned.visible=false;mNotAligned.visible=false; var letterK:Boolean=false;var letterJ:Boolean=false;var letterD:Boolean=false;var letterF:Boolean=false;[code]......
This includes some code and some traced output. I've been looking at this for 2 days and it stupifies me. I'll elaborate: There is a game object, its a dictionary object containing a screen tile with index/name tile_x_y So i can look it up using the x and y coords. The object contains lost of stuff but in this case especially: x, y , width, height, xtile, ytile (self explanatory i assume) & xmove, ymove (-1,0,1 depending on direction.)
So, now these objects move around the screen (yes its just a game) and check if they hit the screen bounds and if they try to move onto tiles that are occupied/non traversable. It goes fine for most objects but sometimes, or for some objects (no clue why and it changes on restart), halfway the boundaries check, the object internal x and y values go ballistic and i end up with a reference error on the dictionary object because tile 280 30 just doesnt exist.
i am using Flex builder 4.5 and my problem is this that this code doos not work, when i used trace(event.target)i get following in result in console, deleteme.ApplicationSkin2._ ApplicationSkin_Group1.contentGroup.VGroup5.button1.And if i replace this long line in 'if' statement code works.(deleteme is the project name). Dont you think it should only say button1 instead of this all long line with all hierarchy , if that is the case then how we can shortend it?[code]
I have a button that, when it is clicked, should cause a text box to appear. I can make text appear as a trace so I know the button's working, but I have no idea how to either get the trace onto the stage - it only appears in the .fla .output window. I think what would be preferable would be to get a text box to appear as the event but can't work it out....
I have an application that writes traces with a timestamp when certain items are clicked or accessed. I need to write these to a text log file so that they can be accessed remotely.. The device the app runs on doesn't have a web server and doesn't run the flash debug player, os is xp. How can I send these traces to a text file? I noticed Arthropod writes to an html file, but I need to do this automatically without interaction.
I've set up FlexUnit in my app, I want to debug a test using trace, but im not sure how to get flexunit to traceto the flashlog file. Here's part of my test task in ant, I thought the 'localtrusted' property would help, but it doesnt seem to. In my logs I get the testcases only, none of my traces which are inside my tests.
Is it somehow possible to output the traces in a deployed application to a display element?'m aware of the debug deploy in Flash Builder, but unfortunately I can't convince my iPad to work with that,Edit: On second thought, a full console output would probably be best. The flash console kostik suggested looks pretty good, so making it display the console output would be ideal.
I have a button on the main timeline that works fine, part of the code in the button: for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) { var lineMovedx = _root["Line"+b]._x; _root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000 trace(_root["Line"+b]);
It basically moves stuff a person draws off the screen when the button is pushed, there is another button that brings it back. But when I put that same button in a movieclip on the main timeline and change the code to this: for (b=1; b< dpth; b++) { var lineMovedx = _root._root["Line"+b]._x; _root._root["Line"+b]._x = lineMovedx-9000 trace(_root._root["Line"+b]);
It no longer works and the trace shows no output, it basically loses it completely, I can't figure out why it does not work, it seems so simple.
I am trying for first time actionscript as package document.And I am trying to make run a Doc class that load an XML file and output the results on trace.I don't know where are my errors:
How can I reorganise the code below so the trace commands output i for each element in the photourls array and not just the last element? In a 6 element array, the trace(i); line outputs 5,5,5,5,5,5 rather than 0,1,2,3,4,5.
