I'm making the transition from AS2 to AS3 and have some rollover and rollout code below. I'm looking to place an if statement into the onClipOver function that can trace what specific button is being pressed. In AS2 I would use the "this" command to see which movieclip was being used. how to properly write the IF statements using AS3 in the code below.

I am having a problem with the if statement in my timer function, the trace statement within in it is not working, eventually I wanted to use this if statement further but need to make sure it is working first.
Code:
timerFunction();
} function call in function above
function timerFunction() {
trace("hey");//this trace works
var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,15);

I want to change a variable when a button is pressed. lingo: if this button is pressed then check varexample what number it has if it has a number then gotoAndPlay("example") and add 1 to varexample else, do nothing I'm sure if I get this kind of example down, I'll be able to figure the rest out by myself. =S
View 5 RepliesSo I have 13 buttons and each of these load the same movieclip. Now how do I make an if statement so that depending on what button is pressed it goes to a specific frame in this loaded movieclip?
View 1 RepliesI am creating a music project using flash that will show students how to play scales and chords. At the moment I have 3 combo boxes ('tonic', 'tonality' and 'type') and a 'go' button. and when I press the go button I want it to go to the scene that contains the chord/scale that has been chosen. at the moment i have the code :
if((Tonic.value == 'C') and (Tonality.value == 'Major') and (Type.value == 'Chord'))//CmajorChord {
gotoAndStop(3);
} else if((Tonic.value == 'C') and (Tonality.value == 'Major') and (Type.value == 'Scale'))//CmajorScale {
gotoAndStop(4);
} else if((Tonic.value == 'C') and (Tonality.value == 'Minor') and (Type.value == 'Chord'))//CminorChord {
gotoAndStop(5);
} else if((Tonic.value == 'C') and (Tonality.value == 'Minor') and (Type.value == 'Scale'))//CminorScale {
gotoAndStop(6);
I have this code for all 12 keys.
I have a bunch of event listeners that refer to different movieclips but trigger the same function.I have an if statement within this function that I need to trigger if the function is triggered by a specific movieclip.

backgroundPoint.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animateBall);

I know I could just create two separate functions but the code within the function (not shown here) is fairly long and I dont like repeating code.
its a gambling game of chance and I want it to go to a random frame which will play a movie when the button "one" or the button "two" is pressed. so on each button, I have the code:

I have a function that executes when a button is pressed:

View 5 RepliesI have a very basic question. I have a custom class called caurina. I've imported the class and it works great. What i did is use that as a function called slide().
What I would like to do is make that function play when a button is pressed. I can't seem to find out how to do this anywhere. I am using as3.
Summary: When btn is pressed go play function slide()
is it possible to do this in flash as3? when you press "A" on your keyboard , it will trace("ABC");
i am trying to make if u press "A" on keyboard , i will play a .wav sound.
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,
[Code]...
I have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?
When I run this code, I get to click on either the container "Big Box" or its contents "Poly". The associated trace states should fire but look at the tracer on "Poly" it fires twice. Why? [code]
View 2 Repliesi suspect the answer here is "no", but i'm wondering if it's possible to set the color of trace statements which appear in flex's console pane. ie, i have a few "levels" of log statements, and i'd like the warnings and errors to really stand out.
View 2 RepliesFlash is returning decimal floating point formats in evaluation results under the IEEE 754-1985 format.I looked it up and this seems to be how ActionScript 3 was designed to follow that standard which creates these results.This doesn't happen in the ActionScript 2 compiler. It only happens under ActionScript 3, paste these trace statements and compile so you can see what I mean:
Code: Select alltrace(48.48 + 0.01) // returns 48.489999999999995
trace(18.48 + 0.01) // returns 18.490000000000002
this one is ok: Code: Select alltrace(18.49 + 0.01) //returns 18.5
I need a two decimal place precision result as this is for an algorithm that I'm trying to use to round up or down by a penny so I can't simply convert it to an integer but there's no pattern that I can see so I can predict results for it either.I can't have a $18.8999999999995.
Trying to get a MovieClipLoader to work for me... This code is taken pretty much right from Macromedia's Help file. I get no error messages (yay), but I also get no trace statement (boo) or loaded clip (boo2). There *is* a clip named audioplayer.swf in the same directory as my file.

View 3 RepliesI am making a jigzaw and when all the pieces are put in the right place, another movie clip will be played.All pieces are buttons placed in different movieclips. The movieclips are then placed in scene 1.
In frame 1, I've written
_global.var1=0;
In frame 2, I've put movieclip1, and in movieclip1 I've placed button1, with the following actionscript:
on (press) {
startDrag ("_root.movieclip1");
}[code]..........
However, when the piece is in the right place, and the if-statement has been activated, _global.var1 is still 0 when I trace it in frame2.
How would I do this in AS3? I want to call a function and run it with specific properties depending on which button is clicked.So how do the "_this" statement work in as3? in as2 I would write something like this and "this" would stand for the instance name:

View 5 RepliesFor a game I am making I want to create an "if" statement that waits for the right arrow key to be pressed and for the global variable "movement" to equal 0. I used the code below:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && (_global.movement = 0)) {
When both those statements are true, I wanted the object to move to the left at the variable "speed". the entire code I used is below:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) && (_global.movement = 0)) {
_x -= speed;
}
When the game is played I know that the "movement" equals 0 through the debugger tool, and when I press the right arrow key, the object does not move.
I'm currently working on a puzzle. The objective of the puzzle is to place the numbers in order from 1 - 10. Once the puzzle is complete you're taken to a specific frame.However, I want to be able to go to 1 of 2 frames depending on how long it takes to complete the puzzle.Each number has the following code:

What I want is a hint how to make a specific thing happen while clicking a specific button. Like "if I click button 1, do this". Would like to use this script though I'm gonna add buttons over time and this is an easy way to have the functionality working.
