I have a game and i'm trying to make changes when a thing happens.I want to do this, when the "caught" flies rise up to "50" increase the value for the flies falling frame per frame.[code]
View 1 RepliesHow would one go about changing the allowscriptaccess parameter of an already loaded swf?
View 0 RepliesI am just learning actionscript, and I need some help please with a problem I'm having. I am borrowing the actionscript example for a simple login that comes with flash 8. There is a line in the code as follows:
login_lv.sendAndLoad("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/login.cfm", result_lv, "POST");
The problem is I need to be able to change the url parameter externally so that the flash file doesn't need to be republished everytime I need to change the url. I need to be able to change the url with some kind of external config file, or parameterize the url somehow, I'm really not sure?
I have a component I have built in AS3 that takes a parameter which is likely to change with each instance of the component on stage. ie. the parameter will be different on frame2 to what it was on frame1.
The problem I am having is that flash will not recognise the change of parameter and redraw the component unless I do something like giving it a different instance name or putting it on a new layer. I find this very puzzling as I have the exact same component in AS2 and am not required to perform these actions to get it working.
I would like to change the parameters of an object, or values like width and height, via javascript but I need a very lightweight method. In the end some of the thing that I want to change would be width, height and a parameters src value. So far I'm having no luck of getting it by id $('#test').attr('src','test.html') or the javascript method of getElementById().
What is the best - lightweight - method to do this?
An object being like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="500" data="http://www.thisembed.com" style="margin:0px;padding:0px">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
I am trying to read a XML file and check a parameter for duplicates of that parameter in the file. There could be up to 200 entries with this parameter which is a number. How can I check to see if there are any duplicates?
View 2 RepliesForgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."
I have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function
var parameter1:customclass2;
customclass1(parameter1);
in customclass1 constructor:

I recently took over an AS3 project someone else programmed. It's quite well done and nicely object oriented. However, I have come across something I have not seen before.
protected function addedToStage ($event:Event) : void {}
The parameter in the function above uses the prefix $ before the parameter name "event". What does this do - if anything?
I'm have the following URL:[URL] I want to get the arg1 value. I tried to use the following code:

I would like to build an xml based scroll or purchase one already done, that I can modify the code to look for a unique xml file based on a parameter in the cookie. What would be the best way to go about doing this? Is this even possible? The filename would be unique for each individual user.
View 2 RepliesCS4 was working fine for a few weeks, then yesterday I opened an FLA and got an error pop-up that said "Parameter is Incorrect". The error happened for all FLA files. I could save changes but could not preveiw or publish (same Parameter is Incorrect error as on starting CS4). I even made a blank FLA and it wouldn't work either.
Relized today during more testing that this error only happens any time I open a file that is on my desktop (running XP). Same file moved into another folder (Even desktop ewfolder) works fine.
I am dispatching an event and I would like to add a parameter to the event. Is that possible? The event I have is dispatched like this: dispatchEvent(new Event(CuePoints.TIME_IN, true));and gets listened to like this:
cues.addEventListener(CuePoints.TIME_IN, addDefLink); How can I add a parameter to this? Or would this be done differently? All I want is a uint that gets sent with it each time the event gets dispatched.
im having problems with the following code:

The problem is that im sending the variable i to the function LoadCara on every iteration, and its always called with the last value of i. I would like this function to be called with the appropiate index.

According to the AS3 API the 'name' parameter in the 'getlocal' method is actually the name of the object. I have a bit of diffculty understanding this. Have alook at the following code:
[Code]...
If I were to access the attributes or methods of the shared object, can I use the 'name' instead of the variable, since the name is the 'name of the shared object'?
If the following code were used:
[Code]...
Why am I getting this error, if 'UserName' is the name of the shared object, than why can't I use it to refer to it's methods and other attributes? What is the meaning of it being a 'name' than?
I have a function setup that I was hoping to re-use to eliminate a bunch of code, but I can't figure out how to pass a parameter to it.

It's a way to load external swf's with a parameter, like loading them from HTML in form: mymovie.swf?settingsfile=mysettings.xml? Loaded without parameters it works fine, but i tried to load them via URLRequest("mymovie.swf?settingsfile=mysettings.xm l") and i get an error: Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

We need a second parameter added that sets the destination/target for the link. The default/current is _blank but we also need to be able to set this to nothing so it opens in the same window. Can you try adding the second parameter to the flashvars list and use this to set the target for the link.
my html is:
<object width="296" height="88">
<param name="movie" value="../soccer_homepage_AM2.swf" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="url=/mainpage_gif.html" />
[code]....
How to I add that second parameter of opening in same window to the flashvar?I believe you separate the additional one by using a & but am unsure exactly what to put?Do I also have to change the ActionScript in the original fla file? This is set to _blank but I believe they want it to stay that way but have the option of adding _self or whatever it needs to be in the Flashvar when needed.
My ActionScript 3.0 is:
btnLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonSymbol_click);
function buttonSymbol_click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(stage.loaderInfo.parameters["url"]);
navigateToURL(req, "_blank");
}
basically, the ecard will start with 3 questions.each question has 3 answers.so user choses the answer e.g. B, B, C and clicks preview.it will play the movie clip assigned to B B C in sequence.then user can click send to sent to friend.so the URL needs to be able to identify the sequence maybe in parameters.so that when his friend receives the ecard and clicks on the flash it will play B B C sequence.then his frind can create his own ecard and maybe A C A etc...So how i created like that?

i have 1 PHP page in which i have a Flash animation. this flash swf file, display 2 fields and 1 button.
this php page is called "test.php".
i'm able to send data from Flash to a PHP page, but i would like to send the content of those 2 fields to the "test.php" and display them. however, i do not know how to do it.
i see that it works but i'm not able to display or refresh the PHp page to display the result.
as walkaround i was thinking to collect the webpage address where is executed the flash and to send it to another PHP page. and this 2nd PHP page, will reload the test.php with parameters...
how to get under flash, the address of the actual executed php page ?
