I'm just wondering, how would I go about making a counter in ASC3 count more then once?
Because,
counter++ updates once,
but counter+2 gives you some kind of error.
counter+1 also gives you error.

View 2 RepliesI have looked everywhere for an example or tutorial on a delta time game loop in AS3. I found many fixed time step examples but very little helpful information on delta time game loops and how it works. I have seen examples that do the calculations in a timer and also seen examples that do the calculations inside the enter_frame event. All the examples I have seen are also incomplete and only provided me with bits and pieces.

View 3 RepliesHow can I update two mysql databases (on two servers) at the same time. DO I need to give permission to send data? E.g. The swf is in server A and I want to post data to 2 databases in server A and server B. But when I do it only updates in server A. Nothing goes to server B. How can I do this? Is this got to do with php?
<?php
//SERVER A
$link = mysql_connect("localhost","abc","abc1");
mysql_select_db("my_db1");
$query = "INSERT INTO abc_db(subject, links) VALUES('$hsubjects','$link')";
$result = mysql_query($query);

These buttons will have a somewhat fixed instance names like btn1,btn2,btn3,btn4.My problem is i don't know how to reference the button names with a dynamic variable appended..I have something simple like this, but can someone point me in the correct direction for the syntax please?[code]
View 2 Repliesi'm a newbie to AS3 and i'm trying to update a website from AS2 to AS3. i can't get a for loop to work properly for me. i create the button movieclips initially, name them properly, and drop their titles into a textfield within the button movieclips.i am able to change the textformat on rollover/out and on click to a third state. i want the on click to change all the other button's text box format's back to the base state.so, when i write a second for loop to run through the other buttons, i keep getting an error.
when i test trying to change the text like this: parent.getChildByName("mbtn" + i + "_mc").getChildByName("title_txt").setTextFormat(T extFormats.mmbase_fmt);
i get this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getChildByName through a

I'm trying to display the current loading/buffering percentage by displaying it in a label.
Somehow, when the for-loop starts, the text wont update. It seems that the app is too busy rendering my frames so that it wont update the text..

Just want to throw this out first that I am very new to ActionScript. I am trying to integrate Omniture tracking with a custom Flash player. Here is my dilema.I have this function which populates the "currentVideotime" variable with the current time in the video:

i'm running a simple nested for loop (code below) that when you go over a tile makes it change its color, so far so good but i also want to make it so that when you go over a tile you can then continue only on the tiles connected to it
Code:
for (var colum = 0; colum < field_h; colum++)
{
for (var row = 0; row < field_w; row++)[code].....
i think i should be able to do it using arrays but i can't seem to understand how after the tiles are placed and the array updated accordingly to update the tiles with the new array value (enter frame event ? )
I am trying to build a search angine for an application I am developing. I need my list to update itself every time there is a change in the Input Text box (backspace or additional character). I have no errors but the function does not work the way I want it to.
The function compares letters in a specific position within my 2 strings (charAt(j)) and disregards the previous letters, plus it deos not "update" but only adding new strings to my list.

OK my project uses an xml file called Chart-app.xml inside this XML file there is a tag called <version></version> which I keep in the format like: <version>1.2.128</version> I am wondering if I can set it to append to the third number every time I run my project. So if I ran it now it would be 1.2.129, then if i ran it again it would be 1.2.130

View 1 RepliesI've been experimenting with a crank that you can turn with the mouse which is supposed to make things gradually change on the stage. Everything is going smoothly, except that when the crank makes a full rotation, its angle returns to 0. I've added an AccumulatedAngle variable to keep track of this, but I can't get it to update at the same time as the actual rotation. What I'm getting is brief moments where the totalAngle value is 360 above what it should be, and the objects on screen update with that value, causing them to jump around on the screen and then jump back each time the crank makes a full rotation. I've tried moving around the order of the variable updates and I've tried moving when the boxes are updated, even putting them inside the if statements that change the crank's angle. I just can't figure this one out.

I am trying to update a visual component giving some information in 1st state, while I make changes in the 2nd State...Question : Is it possible ? If yes, then is just data binding the solution? how ?!
Clearer Description :
State 1 : Has a form, in which I enter some data value for 3 boxes.
State 2 : Has 3 boxes, who have to change in color based on what values were entered in State 1.
Purpose : User 1 will enter data in with State 1 open, while User 2 should be able to see the dynamic/real-time effect while he is in State 2.
I'm using ActionScript 2 and I already placed the progress bar on the stage assigned it the instance name ProgressBar0 but i'm confused on how to give it a label, have it start at a certain time and end at a certain and show the percentage complete in the label.

View 2 RepliesI think I must be missing a step here; I have different data being pulled from an array created from xml depending on a variable (_currentTrackNum).. and the data changes if I set a different initial value for it; but if I change the variable once the program is initialized, none of the data changes even though I rerun the call with the changed variable.[code]
View 1 RepliesCould you please tell me how this photo animation effect is achieved - see the pictures that slide seamlessly to the left every say 3 seconds (the pictures just below the BIGSTOCKPHOTO logo).. Site- www.bigstockphoto.com
I have noted this effect being used in many other sites.. And none of them seem to employ flash for making this. Please let me know whether this is just JS or whether its purely a CSS based effect, and probably a place where i can read on how to make this.

I have a problem with updating an XMLList object while in a "for each" loop.
I have the following XMLList object called "folders":
Code:
<folders>
<folder1>folder1</folder1>
<folder2>folder2</folder2>
<folder3>folder3</folder3>
[Code]....
Basically, the individual XML objects are updating but they are not updating in the "folders" XMLList object.
What can i do to update them in the "folders" object ?
I have used a similar approach to update all of the attributes of an XMLList object and everything worked ok. I am not sure what exactly causes the differences between the attributes and the elements.
The flash player has a little window that can be opened (similar to flash->settings) telling the user to update the player if the movie loaded is for a more recent version. How can you instruct the player to do this? ITV have managed it with their catchup-tv player.
