ActionScript 3.0 :: IF Statement Always True - Not Supposed To Execute

Sep 10, 2011

I'm new to AS3 and Flash as a whole, but a decent programmer in Java and C,C#. The problem I have is this: No matter what I do, that "IF" statement ALWAYS executes, even if it shouldn't, and musn't, as said by the trace(isfirst), which outputs a 0, which means the IF is not supposed to execute. AKA: It displays first! and 0 every time it gets to frame 61, thus bringing me to the home page no matter what.

I dont want to copy the code from the first into the second and the first and second into the third.

My mind isn't working and there is probably an extremelly simple way to get this working.

I know I could used functions but for some reason it stops the instance referencing working: _root["bullet"+j] doesnt work in a function.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash CS3 - Sam_MC Stops Moving And No Other Action Is Taken When The If Statement Containing GotoAndPlay Becomes True

Jun 16, 2011

The gotoAndPlay option isn't kicking in here. The object "sam_MC" proceeds along the specified root. But when the if statement containing gotoAndPlay becomes true, sam_MC simply stops moving and no other action is taken. When sam_MC's x coordinate becomes less or greater than a specified amount, I want the flash movie to restart. My code is located on the first frame of a layer I have named "actions." Here it is.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables Expanding When Not Supposed To

Jun 13, 2011

I am trying to get input from my Arduino to Flash, Flash gets signals like this: [where each number seperated by a - at the end, stands for the input of a sensor]
mux0array: 0-0-0-0-0-400-0-0-0-20-0-0-0-0-0-65-
mux1array: 0-0-800-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
mux2array: 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-10-0-0-0-0-0-50-0-

Code to convert this text to values in an array, using regular expressions [totally new for me] that would convert the data to:
0: 0,0,0,0,0,400,0,0,0,20,0,0,0,0,0,65
1: 0,0,800,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
2: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,100,0,0,0,0,50,0
which is traced by this line: trace(dataId + ': ' + dataArray);
So dataId can change from 0 to 2, and dataArray contains multiple (integer) values

Friday, this worked perfect. But for some weird reason, it stopped working properly: it looks like it merges lines when it shouldn't:
1: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,02: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,01: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,21: 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
As you can see, the first line, is working fine: 16 values
the 2nd line contains 33 values: the 16 values supposed to come after the 2:, but after that 16th value, a linebreak is missing, and the 0: is displayed as a 0, and adding his 16 values behind it. The same goes for line 3: 1: 16 values,2,16 values,0,16 values
the next line only merges 1: and 2:

This is the used script:
// accumulates data coming from arduinovar sensorData:String = "";
// connects to arduino boardvar arduino:SerialPort = new SerialPort();
arduino.addEventListener(DataEvent.DATA, onArduinoData );
arduino.connect( "127.0.0.1", 5331 );
function onArduinoData( event:DataEvent ):void{

Actionscript 3 :: MovieClip Does Everything It's Supposed To And Still There Is `error 1009`

Sep 25, 2011

I'm creating game in which user is given a map and five flags. User must drag flags, one by one to the countries, so after creating MovieClips that represent flags, I started creating code for them. That worked for France, but after I copied it to Germany and changed everything using CTRL+F ('france' to 'germany' and 'France' to 'Germany') it didn't. Well, actually it did, but there is some error. That's funny, coz German flag does absolutely everything it should, and still there is an error in the output. Here, that's the code:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movieclip That Is Supposed To Mask The Background?

Mar 5, 2002

I'm very close to achieving the desired effect, however, i have been stopped dead in my tracks. I Used Pom's Real/Fake Mask Drag tutorial, so I have that set, however, my problem is getting the ripples to mask...

I have the background, and then I have the other movieclip that is supposed to mask the background (ripple).However, it either does not mask, or it only masks the first frame of the "ripple" mc...

(oh, btw...the ripple MC is dragged by the mouse, so the ripples follow the mouse. I saw an effect like this, a looooong time ago, probly in the days of Flash 3, and i was curious how to go about it, so I have been trying for the last few weeks...)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Movie Clip Is Supposed To Loop By Default

Jan 26, 2010

I know that a movie clip is supposed to loop by default, but mine seems to only go through the code once. Here is my code:

[Code]...

This code is supposed to check server time every second and once the server time passes the end time (stored in a global variable) it should go to a different frame. I've created a variable cd_time for testing purposes which displays current server time on the screen. I would expect it to change every second, but it only displays current time when it loads and does not refresh after.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Next And Prev Frame Wont Stop Where They're Supposed To

Sep 28, 2011

ive recently created an actionscript 2 product gallery that has five sections for the types of product with navigation buttons that goto a new scene containing that sections products in each 'product' scene ive got left and right buttons that gotoandStop at either nextFrame or prevFrame so far so good this works fine even tho its simple [code]however when i originally tested it i had just one range of products so when it got to the end (ie furthest product right or left) it stopped however as ive added more scenes (i do this because i hate really long timelines) if the user clicks 'right button' at the end of the scene it displays the next scenes picture any ideas on how i can get it to understand where it is in the program and stop?just need to say I really dont get programming at all..i only managed that code by butchering a gotoAndStop that i added using the behaviours panel so the simpler the better lol

ActionScript 2.0 :: Instance-variable (array) Is Supposed To Be Unique

Oct 21, 2004

I encountered a rather irritating problem yesterday. I wrote a class. The class has got 1 variable of the type :Array. its a public variable.On the scene i have 2 movieclips which are connected to my class through its linkage in the library.My problem is that even though the instance-variable (the array) is supposed to be unique for the instance only it gets overwritten for every new instance i create.for example. if i assign the first instance's array 2 values (1, 1)and the do the same with the second but here i change the values to (2,2) then when i check my first instance it has got the same values as the second instance...that is (2,2).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Data From XMl File And Uses It To Run An If Statement. If Statement Fails?

Oct 10, 2008

The Flash movie contains 2 Text files, one Component button, and 1 component checkbox.The purpose of the application is to load an XML file(works)Populate 2 text fields with information from the XML file(works)Compare the two text fields, if they contain the same information then the checkbox, via AS is told to be selected. (Heres the problem);

Heres the code:

Code:
runCode_btn.onPress = function() {
data_xml = new XML();
data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
data_xml.onLoad = function(success) {

[code]....

The idea behind this app is that its an electronic form. The user fills it out, the information is then sent to a newly created XML file, months later the open the XML file in flash, and Flash fills out text fields and check and or unchecks Checkboxes based on the XML data.CheckBoxes are mandatory.But I don't see how I'll be able to use them if i can't create and condition statements based on the loaded Data.

Professional :: Root Template Supposed To Update Nested Pages?

Jun 26, 2006

I am using a nested template by following the normal practice of creating a template, which I will call "core" and then creating a page from that template and saving it as a "nested" template. So far so good, except, when I update the "core" template, it only updates the .dwt template files that I created from the core template. It doesn't update any of my content pages that were created from the "nested" templates, that were of course based on the core template. I can go into each nested template and then it updates the corresponding pages, but it just seems like updating the core should do all associated nested templates. Is this the way it is supposed to work?
