ActionScript 3.0 :: Intermittent Error Talking Between Classes
Mar 17, 2011
I am building a quiz using XML for the questions and a ButtonTopLevel class to control the behaviour of the buttons tasked with choosing a question. Basically, the docClass imports the XML, makes sure it is fully loaded and then adds these top level buttons as children. I need to maintain the MouseEvent.CLICK in the button class because once the button has been used, it will switch to feedback mode and no longer be available as a button. Once clicked, the button says:
[Code]....
I have a sort of "go back" button in during development, and if I go back to the top level buttons and click any one of them, it works as it should. There is nothing undefined, with the possible exception of a variable or two I've declared and not yet used. Is it something in the way I'm telling the child to talk to its parent? My code is rather lengthy, but I will post if need be - just hoping it might be something I'm missing in this call to the parent.

Now I am trying to another very simple thing.
In my main time line I have:
var _side = new Side();
var _main = new Main();
I have Main.as and Side.as saved in the same folder as Main.fla.
Here is Main.as
ActionScript Code:
class Main {
public function Main(){
[Code]....
Now the Main.as knows nothing of the variables speed and velocity. Is there a way to reference back and forth? Say for instance I have a dog class that drinks water from the water class.
If it rains then the water class changes var Water from 4 to 8; When the dog drink the water he can drink until the water is gone, but how the water variable was changed in the water class not the dog class.

I have a function that fires when a movieclip is pressed. It determines what animation to play and then calls the appropriate function. When it calls FlipWinCard
"private function FlipWinCard( card:MovieClip ):Void
{
// save card so we can flip it back over.[code].......
Most of the time the animation plays correctly but sometimes the animation fails. This has lead me to place most of the followup code in a function that is called by the animation (so I don't change state without showing an animation to the user). I would like to get some clues as to why gotoAndPlay inconsistently fails.It's not always the first time in a run, so I can't blame loading. It just gives up sometimes.The frame is a constant so it's not like I'm guessing a number that should change, in my opinion.I made a watchdog timer to check for the animation so my question isn't a "how to workaround" kind of question.I think there might be better coding practices I'm overlooking and maybe you've seen this before.

I've just recently tried my hand at actionscript 3 and have come across a road block.How do I go about rendering the cubes (cube1) intermittently, ie. staggered loading. I need the cubes to load a split second from each other.Below is a snippet of what I have so far:
var rows:int = 5;
var cols:int = 3;
var spacery:int = 100;

We have discovered that when we draw one bitmapdata into another bitmapdata using draw, there is an upper bound on the scaling transformAt some point the IBitmapDrawable parameter ceases to be rendered on the target bitmap.Does anyone know what the parameters of this upper bound are? Is this documented somewhere?

We have an old Flash application that has worked fine for years, but intermittently fails on latest versions of Firefox. Using the same version of the Flash Player, the application runs fine in Internet Explorer. Recompiling the product is risky, and I'm trying to fully understand the problem before resorting to that. I'd like to be able to point to a known browser or player bug, but I can't really say where the problem is yet.I've gather the following information using Charles Proxy:The Flash application gets a list of files it needs to load. It requests a file then waits until the Flash Plug-in dispatches an Event.COMPLETE before requesting the next file. During this process I can see the HTTP requests and server responses. When the application "hangs", Charles Proxy reports that the response actually completed; however, Firefox's status bar shows "Transferring ..."
Sometimes for an extended period, I can't recreate the problem at all. At other times, the hang-up happens over and over again.Finally, if we switch to using https instead of http, the problem NEVER happens. Because Charles Proxy shows Status Complete while Firefox shows that a Transfer is still occurring, I speculate that the problem is actually in Firefox. I believe that Firefox is failing to recognize when the file actually finished loading, and therefore it fails to tell the Flash Player. The end result is that our code gets no Event.COMPLETE from the player and cannot continue requesting files.

In my case I need to be able to cancel loading as the user could possibly be scrolling through alot of images and the if not canceled it can take a few minutes to catch up to the scroll position.So after research the URLStream class seems to cure this problem and I found a good streaming class hereThis class works very nice except when there is heavy load on the server causing lag.When this lag happens the class will dispatch the complete event yet the image will not show.Watching the download with HTTPFox shows the image in fact does get loaded.
I assume there is some kind of delayed issue with the URLStream class and the author of this class tried to correct it using the setTimeout method. I also tried delaying the dispatching of the complete event using a timer and not dispatching until if( this.width != 0 ) was detected and this seemed to work much better.But it is still haunting me just not as often.

I was playing around last night trying to learn simple AS to make a movie clip act like a button. I wanted the button movie clip to reduce the alpha value of the other movie clip when you rollover the button and when you roll off the button the alpha of the movie clip goes back up. It works, but if you keep rolling over and out of the button movieclip sometimes the alpha gets stuck at a certain value for a bit, then does what its supposed to. I'm using onEnterFrame () to do the hitTest constantly.
Here's the SWF and FLA files for you to look through:
hitTest SWF
hitTest FLA
Here's the AS code I used in the frame to do this:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
if ( background._alpha > 100 ) {
background._alpha = 100;

I know the problem is with how I have this structured. Here's the code:
scrollHand.buttonMode = true;
scrollHand.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, beginDrag);
var bounds = new Rectangle(747,200,0,handLimit);
var dragging:Boolean = false;
var dy:int = 0;

I have a SWF file that I call the a parent, it imports a number of SWF(children) which I can switch through. is it possible to have a function in the parent SWF that the child SWF can launch?
The reason I need this is because each child SWF is a sort of small game, so when each game is finished I need some kind of way to let the parent SWF know that the player can continue.

i can make Flash execute JavaScript functions, but I don't know how to communicate to flash with javascript. For example, I have a flash header with an XHTML body. When link is clicked in the body, I need the flash header to move to a new frame. The frame is dependent on the link.

I have a file structure similar to the following:
LoadingSWF
LoadingSWFDocClass
ContentSWF
ContentSWFDocClass
In my ContentSWFDocClass I reference library elements that were "exported for actionscript", so they only exist in the ContentSWF. The ContentSWF compiles fine because my ContentSWFDocClass can find all the resources in the library....
The problem is that I need my LoadingSWFDocClass to talk to my ContentSWFDocClass. However, when I try to include a variable (or make any reference to something) of type ContentSWFDocClass in my LoadingSWFDocClass I get a compile error because the compiler doesn't recognize the library symbols that ContentSWFDocClass is referencing.
How can I get around this? I really need to reference elements in the library in my ContentSWFDocClass, and I also really need to be able to send commands from my LoadingSWFDocClass to my ContentSWFDocClass.

Currently I have a flash based application (game) which I need to put on facebook, the users could save their scores and resume their game. For the task I was wondering which scripting language would be appropriate. And are there any API's available which could in the process. Or does one has to make all of it from scratch.

I've got a container swf that loads a few content swfs... now what I'm trying to do is get those content swfs talking to each other (the site is [URL], where the home slideshow, work and firm sections are each separate flash files). Specifically, I'm trying to get buttons on the home slideshow to link to their respective projects in the work section.
I've got home.swf dispatching a custom NavigationEvent when a button is clicked, with the clicked project's id attached to it. My index.swf catches the event, but this is where I'm stuck. I can't get it talking to work.swf. As far as index is concerned work.swf is an instance of Loader, and doesn't have the functions I'm trying to call. Right now the functions are on the timeline on frame 1. Do I have to move all the AS in work.swf into a document class and implement an interface that I can use to cast the Loader in index.swf?

Basically I am trying to get buttons that I have in a drop down menu load an external .swf into an empty movie clip placed on the main timeline. However for some reason it is not working. The buttons are contained in a movie called "menuItems" which is then placed in a movieclip called "mainMenu" which is then placed on the main timeline.
on (release) {
_parent.gotoAndPlay("reverse");
if (_root._root._root.currMovie == undefined) {
_root._root._root.currMovie = "personalData";

My project is about a header.swf that calls a nav.swf (with a menu and other stuff) and also inits a slideshow through a Slideshow class.This is in header.swf:[code]I renamed the XmlParser class to "XmlParser2.as" (as well as other references to it) and then...it worked...what the hell was going on here?
obs: I tried that also: I commented all the code inside the "initSlideShow" function, keeping the XmlParser instantiation, and the nav.swf didn't show as well.
obs2 : i didn't had XmlParser.as imported cause it was in the root directory. ( i explicitely imported it and tried to compile but same thing happened)
obs3: nav.swf uses the XmlParser.as to load two menus, however I don't believe it has anything to do it since it's a file that is already compiled, at the point I try to load it into header.swf, right?

I am having an issue where I cannot use my own classes in CS3. When I try to create an instance of one class inside another class, from within the same package like this:
var t:myClass = new myClass();
gets me 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type myClass to an unrelated type Class.
The constructor for the class is simply:
public function myClass():void {
this.isactive = false;
