Sep 21, 2009I've created an entire website from one .swf. No dynamic loading of other .swfs, or external content etc. Simply a few different buttons that navigate to different frame-labeled areas of the .swf via gotoAndPlay, etc. There are 8 different "areas" of the timeline to go to, each with it's own set of movie clips for that area.
As far as I know, the website works great on all computers and browsers with current Flash players. But I got a call from one of the owners of the business I created the site for and he's having an interesting problem: The preloader completes and takes him to the first area. He can see areas 1-4 just perfect. But when he click to go to area 5, less than half of the movie clips load in what seems to be a random order and then the rest of the .swf (beyond that point in the timeline) can't be accessed at all.
This could be common, but as far as I know, I've never heard of it. He's had someone at his site who is apparently "fluent in computer" look over his internet settings and cannot find any issues.
Anyone ever heard of this or know what I should suggest he try besides updating his browser and Flash Player?.
Actionscript 3 :: Passing A Rectangle To Sprite.graphics.drawRect( )
Mar 5, 2011Is there a neat minimal way of doing this? (this produces an error):
var freeSpace = shape.freeSpace() // returns Rectangle
var s:Sprite = new Sprite();
s.graphics.drawRect(freeSpace);
Just looking for a more cleaner way other than something like .drawRect(freeSpace.x, freeSpace.y, freeSpace.w, freeSpace.h) I know you can do it with bitmapData.fillRect(rectangle), but need sprites in this case.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Interesting Gleam Motion Effect
Feb 1, 2012I was at a website (link from my son's baseball group: Coach Wooden and saw an effect that I couldn't figure out how they did it. It's the "gleam" on the text that runs about every 5 or so seconds.You'll have to enter the site to see it.Just right off hand, it looks like the text is a mask, and it has a tween or .x motion applied.

Jul 14, 2009Last week I had posted about getting a bit of clarification on dynamic tabs, as seen in this thread: [URL] The next step has my head spinning a bit. Here's the setup: This is a slideshow viewer, ala PowerPoint. Images are pulled in from an external directory via an array. Dynamic tabs are also generated in an array. Right now the demo has 10 images in the first array and 6 tabs in the second array:
[Code]...
now, some of the images will be part of a range - as in maybe the first three would fall under the "Safety" tab, next two under "Efficacy", etc....so when a viewer clicks on a tab the player loads up the first photo in that sequence. So: User clicks tab "X", this compares "X" with the range of images associated to "X" and loads the first in the sequence. Now, to add in more fun, there's a next and back button. So now if someone hits the next button then they should view sequentially the next image in the "X" image array (or sub-array). and the reverse for the back button. so my first thought is that I'd need to have the AS compare Safety with the imageList Array - something like

Flex :: "Interesting" Flash Behavior Increasing Time To Draw 10,000 Triangles?
Nov 2, 2009This is a test program to measure the time it takes Flash to draw a triangle 10,000 times.
The app (code below) calls runTimeTest() every N seconds which draws the triangle 10,000 times.
Now for the "interesting" part: each call takes increasingly more processor until after about the 6th or 7th call it goes to "infinity" (see screen shot of TaskManager)

ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining Hit Area Of A Cursor?
Feb 10, 2010I am using a movie clip with graphics as a cursor.
However, it appears that the actual 'hit' area of the movie clip is related to specifically the normal arrow cursor.

Is this possible via AS2.0?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Defining An Element In An Array?
Oct 4, 2011I have an array, created as:
ActionScript Code:
myArray:Array = new Array(10)
pretty much just saying there is 10 elements in it. I define each function as "land", for example. Then in the same function I redefine a random element as "water".
(It is a bit more complex, this is simplified!)
Upon executing this I get the error:
ActionScript Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
if I put the second bit in a new function (the random water part), there is no problems and it executes perfectly. Obviously I cant define an element twice in the same function.

ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClipLoader And Defining Variables?
Apr 28, 2008using the MovieClipLoader function to load in several images into various actionscript defined movieclips. These movie clips, with images loaded into them, are going to have onRelease functions associated with them which will load in a larger version of the image already loaded. As you can picture, there are a series of thumbnails, and each thumbnail needs to be clickable and load a larger version of itself into an empty clip. However, I can't seem to define variables inside of the MovieClipLoader object as it's not technically a movie clip?
How might I know which larger file to load when one of the thumbnails is clicked? All the files are named all sorts of things, aren't in any particular order (user defined from a drag-n-drog UI)... I thought I was on the right track, until I realized I couldn't define variables within the empty clip holding the thumbnails..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Defining A Function Dynamically ... From A Different MC
Nov 20, 2004I'm building a script that adds a textfield to a movieclip. I need to add an onkillfocus event to that textfield that will make it call a certain function, which is located in the movieclip where the textfield will reside. The trouble is that I'm creating the textbox in a script in a completely different movieclip, and I'm having trouble getting the event to find the function.
_root["item"+x]["labelText"+y].onKillFocus = function() { labelEmpty(this._name) };
The absolute path to this function is _root["item"+x].labelEmpty How do I get this event to call the labelEmpty function?

Nov 24, 2009It's not clear to me, where I have to define Classes and Constructor methods. In AS2 it was possible, to define a class "light" by defining a constructor method. In AS3, I read, a class can only be defined in an external AS-file. Is it still possible to use the constructor method inside the Flash-File or do I have to source out all my constructor methods and implement them into real classes into an external AS-File?

Jan 17, 2011I'm having a strange problem setting variables in movie clips from another (parent timeline). I run the following code from the parent movie clip to target child movie clips it contains.
setVars = function (clip, value) {
clip.val1 = value;
clip.val2 = 0;

I am trying to set variables in a movie clip targetted by the 'clip' argument in the setVars function but they are being traced as undefined. However, setting the function works fine. I have also tried manually defining the variables in the movie clip and am still unable to change them externally from the setVars Function.
