ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Make Timeline Based EventListener
Sep 5, 2010
I have a navigation bar, it has 4 buttons on it, home, about, photos, and contact. There is a movie corresponding to each button that will load a 100 frame animation.
Home: home_MC, About: about_MC, etc.
When the page loads, home_MC will be on the stage. I would like for the first 80 frames of home_MC to play, and then stop and wait until someone clicks one of the navigation buttons (home, about, etc..) and then continue playing. How to make a timeline based eventlistener, that when the event occurs will make the timeline (that is stopped) continue?

I have an event listener on my main timeline and I have an mc with some AS which sits on the main timeline. I was just wondering if the following code is correct if I wanted to remove the event listener on the maintimeline from the AS written in the mc.
MovieClip(parent).removeEventListener(Event.REMOVE D_FROM_STAGE,
MovieClip(parent).removedFromStageHandler);

How do you make an EventListener that listens for a object to hit an x value. So if lets say a movie clip hits x value, I want something to happen based on the event. How would you write this?

I know it is possible to make instances/children interact with other objects by adding an eventListener to each child/instance.But how do you make a random instance/child interact with another random instance/child?Example: let a bunch of spaceships get damaged by a bulletrain by using addChild to place both spaceships and bullets on the stage.

I have a main swf which has as3 code on the timeline. I have created a new small swf (a picture gallery) using external .as files (OOP) that works well on its own. I want to load the small swf (through a button on an array) into the main swf. When I click on my button in the main swf, it does not load the small swf (or I think, it cannot read the classes formed through OOP). I get the following error message:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at classes::Script()TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I'm trying to make a faux 3D rotation animation where if the user mouses to the right the object rotates right and if the user mouses to the left the object rotates left. Depending on how far they move the mouse the rotation should speed up or slow down.I spent a lot of time making an object in 3d studio max and importing the animation of rotation as JPEGs onto the timeline. I figured the most efficient way to go about this would be to make the mouse control the timeline instead of the object itself.

I have a thumbs_mc with thumbnail images. Within thumbs_mc, I have a transparent overlay_mc that functions as a button. Mouse over the overlay_mc and the alpha chages so there is a tint over that particular thumbnailWhen overlay_mc is clicked, the main timeline goes to a particular frame label.What I need to do is have the position of the playhead on the main timeline also determine the alpha of the overlay_mc so the viewer knows which thumbnail is playing.

How would you go about creating a timeline animation for an iPhone or iPad application? I'm looking for something like a timeline animation in Flash. I don't need a technical explanation on how to program it, though.So here are some general questions:
- I read something about UIView for PNG sequences, but aren't these kind of animations resource intensive? And what about filesize? PNG can't be compressed like jpeg.
- What about vector-like animations? These would save a lot of kb's.
- Are there animation frameworks like TweenLite/TweenMax/Tweener/... (some well known frameworks for animations in ActionScript)?

Try to wrap my head around why sometimes a timeline base animation will run choppy in some browsers. Is it processor speed vs frame rate. I boosted my framerate to 29.97 but on older computers the animation is very arthritic.

I have 3 text fields that display weather conditions from the Weather.com XML web service. The 3 text fields need to be visible only during a certain segment of the Flash Video that is set as the application's background. Do I use AS3 to specify visiblity? If so, how do I reference a certain range of frames in which the fields should be visible?

I'm trying to get the time from the server (php) and then display a different flash movie (via either a different swf or frame on timeline) accordingly.
Unfortunately I haven't found anything that relates to this using as3.

Is it possible to make the timeline run backwards through the timeline, so that I don't have to waste resources on reversing my scene intro animation later on in my main timeline? (imagine the intro is zooming into a book, then the reverse effect zooming out of the book).
I have been wondering this for a long time, but I assume that this is not possible.

I wanted to make a visualization based on sound, like a winamp plug in. The only thing that even remotely looks like it uses sound information is the sound players on FlashKit. (although they might be faking it)[URL] Is there any information that can be pulled from a currently playing sound in Flash to base a animation off ?

If I have a designer make the necessary graphics, what do I need to learn to make a flash based game?
I already understand the backend server work that would need to talk to the 'front end' part of the game i.e. how the flash game will make requests to the backend servers for storing/retrieving data in xml/json etc.

I'm planning to make a multiplayer hero-based RTS game, similar to the gameplay of DotA/HoN/LoL. With about 10~ players max at once in a game. The latency and responsetime is key, trying to get as low ping as possible.And last but not least - I don't want to use any 3rd party solutions, such as smartfox server or any of the likes of it.So, with that said, what is the way to go if I'm going to build this properly? Java socket server? Python? Let me know what you think and please share resources since i haven't done anything similar before.

I'm new to ActionScript 3.0, some time ago I was developing some websites using ActionScript 2.0 - mainly timeline scripting. As I want to come back to developing websites, but I don't want to go back to AS2 I'm learning AS3. On that occasion I want to learn class based programming and to learn it I'm trying to build the image portfolio website. Before, my projects build was based on main.swf file which was loading external swf files for every 'module' of the website and now I'm not entirely sure how to organize my project using AS3. So for the example let's say the website I'm building will have:- Main stage- Menu- Links content displayer- Footer Links would look like the below:- Main image gallery- Another image gallery- Contact form- About me- News module Now the question is, what is the best practice for building this kind of project?Should I create Main swf file that will load all external content as swf files (image galleries engine, contact form, about me, news module) and place it on the stage? Or should I create separate class for each of the part of the website?
My concern is, that with separate swf files, I could update just one part of the website and upload it on the server and that part was loaded when needed. With project build based on classes, after updating one link's class I'll have to compile whole project - of course it's not a big problem, but then the website will be in one file, which can grow every time I'll update the links. The swf file will contain data that may never be used so this could be easily separate swf file loaded only on request.

I'm trying to create a Flex application that can automatically shrink based on the size of the components that it contains, so that a user can shrink it to a minimal view to see more of the HTML page it's embedded in.
I know how to change the size of the whole application using ExternalInterface, but I'm having trouble automatically figuring out how much the size changed when something is hidden or shown.
For example:
Let's say I have the following flex layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:VBox width="100%" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0"
[Code]....
How can I hide one of the text fields and cause the VBox to shrink? I'm currently setting it to visible = false, but that doesn't seem to affect the parent VBox.
Once the VBox shrinks, how can I detect that the Application no longer needs so much space, and then go about figuring out how much less space it needs?
I've tried using ResizeEvent, but I haven't been able to get them to work, but I could be doing something wrong.

How to make a kind of array that index things based on a object? but not being strict like dictionary.
What I mean:
var a:Object = {a:3};
var b:Object = {a:3};
var dict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
dict[a] = 'value for a';
// now I want to get the value for the last assignment
var value = dict[b];
// value doesn't exits :s
How to make something like that. To not be to heavy as a lot of data will be flowing there. I have an idea to use the toString() method but I would have to make custom classes.. I would like something fast..
