I've noticed if I use initialize="myfunction()". Once "myfunction" has ran it will never be ran again if i use initialize. I need to reset a form basically. Or anything else I can use instead of initialize that will run the function every time.
View 1 RepliesI am currently working on a picture slide show tutorial and i fully understand whats going on, except when a variable that gets placed outside a "for" loop that gets used within the "for" loop to create multiple loaders. Secondly, i would of though the newLoader function would of needed a different variable everytime the loop increments? I know i'm so incorrect but I was hoping someone would straighten me out on it here is the code too

I have a blank container mc into which I am loading JPGs after you click on a button. There are 10 buttons in the movie, each associated with a different JPG.This container_mc is part of a function called on the main Timeline.The Flash movie is 1 frame on the main Timeline. This code works correctly on the first JPG when I click on a button for the first time), but then when you click on a different button I believe it just uses the dimensions and coordinates of the first JPG. How can I reset or refresh (unload, reload) this function so it works correctly every time I load a new JPG?
//after full size image loads into detailthumb_mc,
//resize image so that neither width nor height is > 150, tben recenter
onClipEvent(load) {
var maxWidth = 150;

View 1 RepliesI have a component A in my flex project where people can vote for their favourite artist. Someone "likes" an artist, it get's updated in my database. There is also a component B that shows a chart of the most liked artists. I call the data from the database on creationcomplete in Flex. The problem is that when a person first votes on an artist, it will not be visible in the datagrid untill the user reloads the main page (?) or reopens the entire application. So i was wondering how i can update the datagrid everytime someone adds a vote to my database. I'm now using an update button, but that's not very user friendly of course.

It seens perfct but I can't see it work. The funny thing is that the custom currentBubble - with a dot after you see the code hints but a dot after pb100 - you see no code hints. Well not normal.
I have encountered somthing a little strange in flex, possibly somthing im doing wrong but im not sure. In two cases which i have noticed, when there is only 1 item in a s:List or s:DropDownList for some reason when using list.selectedItem it appears as null. Using requireSelection="true"i know this isnt the case.

I'm working on a spherical movie viewer in Away3D & am having a problem when I apply a VideoMaterial texture to a 3D primitive. The video appears heavily pixellated, like it's being scaled or hugely compressed. When I apply a BitmapMaterial of a single still image from the video it appears fine, so I don't think the resolution of the video is the problem.
I found [this discussion][1] suggesting a solution by specifying the "fixedHeight" & "fixedWidth" when I call the constructor, but those arguements seem to have no effect, and I can't find them in the API either. I do see something called "lockH" & "lockW," [in the API][3], but I they don't seem to have any effect either.

Searching for "8kHz" yielded two results but doesn't show the search result titles or the links to get to the post, though it does show links to the forum itself and the user who posted the result. Same results no matter what I searched for, though if I initiate the search initially from the top level Forum, the search results work as expected.

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to reverse the order of the items in a comboBox? I'd like to use index numbers to refer to items in the arrayCollection below. I want the newest content to appear first in the comboBox. But, if I add something above the first item then all of the index numbers will be off by one. If I could add a new item to the end of the arrayCollection, but have it appear first in the comboBox drop down that would solve a lot of problems.

After changing the Flex SDK to 3.6 (from 4.5.1) so as to target Flash player 9.0.124, the project no longer compiles, producing spurious errors such as XML does not have matching begin and end tags leading me to believe that the compilation process is 'borked'.
This is a pure AS project, and so should have no dependency on the Flex SDK, howver, it seeems to be inextricably linked to the Flex 4.x SDK and Flash Player 10+. I have tried swf-version and -target-player-version in the compiler arguments, but there is still something I am missing to get this to compile for Flash player 9.

ive created an animation sequence in flash but for some reason everytime i drag across frame 426 it hangs and i see the rainbow circle thing. the animation includes graphic symbols of charecters. im pretty sure it has to do with a certan symbol that has a lot of keyframes on motion tweens. is there anything i can do to clean it up?

I am new to flash programming. I have to create a flash card game for a client.There are 52 cards with back showing in 52 rectangles. Each time the swf loads the position of the cards has to be different (randomly placed) in those 52 rectangles. Click on the card and the face of the card shows. Also an option for shuffle. When the user clicks on shuffle, the cards are randomly placed.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to create a scoreboard. Lets say 4 persons are playing, I made 4 textfields on the stage, named them scoreOne, scoreTwo, etc. Now I want to add 1 point to this textfield everytime I press a numpad. So, when player 1 earns a point, I'll press NUMPAD 1 and this point will be added to the textfield. Well, I wrote this code, but it only works once. I can use it for every player, but it's not possible to give them more then 1 point. What's wrong in the code?
I also tried to create a var, which stores the score. Isn't it easier to use a code that shows the var in the textfield, and if, how to do this? So far as I wrote the code the var isn't used yet, the only thing visible on stage is the (scoreOne.text = "" + 1;) part.

Right now I'm in the process of building a drum machine in Flash. The interface is based off of combo boxes and data that I load into the combo boxes. Depending on what you choose in the combo box, a sound should play at a certain interval. I have that part working perfectly. When you click the element of the combo box, the sound plays, and my set interval function calls.
Now the problem I am having is actually clearing the setInterval everytime you change the element in the combo box. I am using a listener set up to find when the combo box changes, I know it has something to do with when I clear the interval, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to clear it when the listener is called.
Here is the listener function I am using to call setInterval:
[Code]...
outside of the listener, and then took away the 'var', from in front of dbInt1 = setInterval..... and it works perfectly. It seems like a really weird way to do that though, and doesn't seem like it would be in good coding practice to do that.
Is there a way to avoid this? I import A LOT of bitmaps all the time and it's really really annoying to have to delete the graphic symbol flash creates with it.
Couldn't find a way to toggle this "feature" off in preferences.
