I am learning AS3 and I try to remake an SimDate game. I have studies the functions and the Steps of the game and now I try to make the Functions myself.
I have 5 Attributes:
Strength
Knowledge
Charm
Health
Dollars
For each of them I have defined a variable. Now I need to make an math function. If I want to raise str:
statusstrenght = statusstrenght + addstr
This code is not the original. My other code is down below. I only wanted to show the process.
addstr == Math.random() *5
I wanted that the variable statusstrenght starts with 10. If I press the train Strenghtbutton the action addstr will be started and updates the statusstr with the new value. That's what I had in mind but I cant define the new value off statusstrenght + addstr. Do I have to add a new variable with newstatusstrenght or can I just overwrite the value of statusstrenght if I press the train strength button ?
Here is the code. The math functions aren't working. It is AS3.
import flash.events.*;
var statusstrenght:Number = 10;
var statusknowledge:Number = 10;
var statuscharme:Number = 10;
var statushealth:uint = 100;
var statusdollar:uint = 100;

I've started using ASDoc to document my latest project. But for some reason, it will only document one package function per package. This means that it documents one function in my utils package and then skips all the others.
Has anybody here successfully documented a utils-like package, with a ton of package functions?
I am trying to set up a .as package to handle all my rollover functions for my _mc's that are acting as buttons in my fla file.
Here is the code I have .
package

import flash.events.Event;[code]....
I just started using AS3 and I am not all that familiar with the new updates to the code.I keep getting this error message.1119: Access of possibly undefined property onEnterFrame through a reference with static type btnEffect.
Are custom functions that are defined at the "default" package level (aka Top Level) included in a compiled SWC? Or are they ignored?
//Compiled, or not to be compiled in a SWC - that is the question...
package {
public function topLevelMethod():void {
trace("Hello World");
}
Anyone experienced problems with this?
When I create anything in a library, it's basically a class right? Meaning I can do essentially the same thing with use of a package in an AS file? In AS 2.0 this would probably mean I can add specific functions on this class as I can do when I use flash's object interface and add script to the specific class object itself. However, in AS 3.0 you cannot attribute code directly to an object right?
This leads me to my second question. I basically want to create a flash mp3 player (I've coded this already), but make it so that it is an entire package of contents, so I can add it to my website when a mouse event is detected and then take it off the website once it's no longer needed (to conserve memory and assure an overall nice experience). The problem is that I have many objects and subsequent functions (play button, pause button, etc), and want all of this to be contained in one file. Is this even possible?
How do I stop a class file from automatically inserting itself into the .fla file. I want to insert it manually into a frame, and then tell it to stop after I leave the frame.The following is the code included in my .as file.
ActionScript Code:

import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code].........
I am having some difficulty getting a function to run/work when my movie plays.
The function controls my menu and I need one of the options to start flashing automatically when my movie plays.
In this case I am forcing the controlling variable to equal "1" so the first menu option should start flashing.
_root.menuvar = "1"; //controlling variable
_root.pt_menu.ptmenumc.menufinal.menuchange(); //running my function
It must be something to do with where I am running the function from or?
My file is here: [URL]
I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

I need to create a table and i need to be able to add data and change the data automatically using values computed by other functions. I was trying to use arrays to create the rows of the table but i dont know how to individually name each array. The arrays have to created automatically and so i cannot name each array manually.[code]but the value for the array is undefined.

View 6 RepliesI'm running into this weird thing with ASDoc. It will only document one package function per package.For example.I have these two functions:
gs.util.printf
gs.util.ftrace
In these files:
gs/util/printf.as
gs/util/ftrace.as
The only function that get's documented in ASDocs is "printf". But I know it can do more than one. As an example, in the livedocs [URL] There are more than one functions documented.
I have an actionscript file,it has a package name,it locate C:demo directory,like follows:
package demo{
import flash.display.*;
public class ABC extends Sprite{[code]............
Then I compile above code like following command,but it raise following error:
C:>mxmlc demoABC.as
Loading configuration file C:sdkframeworksflex-config.xml
C:demoABC.as: Error: A file found in a source-path must have the same package structure '', as the definition's package, 'demo'.Where is wrong above command?
This is with Flexbuilder 3.2, Eclipse 3.3.2.I am moving my development environment to a new machine. Actionscript classes that compiled in the old environment now get a compile error:
A file found in a source-path must have an externally visible definition. If a definition in the file is meant to be externally visible, please put the definition in a package.I do declare the package in these classes - I think failure to declare the package is the usual reason for this error.To add to the mystery, many classes in this project compile without errors.

I have a series of calculations i'm doing over a bunch of objects stored in a array. Each function is pretty CPU demanding but if you only run one function, it just works fine.

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
in this example why the values of (12) and (21,39) are lost at the geo and geo1 functions

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions? Surely it is !!??ie....
Code:
_root.myButton.onPress = function(){
hide();

Its a complicated senario for me. I have a sound management singleton with an asset like dictionary storing all referances to my urls and assets and the guff inside it-
I have a function called addItem(id:String, url:String):Object
I would love to do something similar as soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).play() or soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).stop() of which it'll both add my item to my dictionary, and begin playing the sound

I have a function with 4 necessary arguments (aka parameters) in order to perform the actions. I would like to have the ability to pass the same function to itself as an argument (sort of like a recursive function) along with its arguments. Basically I want to "base" to engage an onMotionFinished event handler if there is another function passed as an argument. Something like...

Is there any way to make a movie clip start at a frame other than 1? I know with graphics it's simple, but with MCs I'm not sure. If possible, I'd like to do it without code, but if that's the only way to do it, I'd like to know that way too.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating a small car game where you shoot from the car, so I've made a bullet animation with this code inside the mocieclip:
Actionscript Code:
shellNo = 0;function shellEject(){shell_holder.attachMovie("shellAnim", shellNo, shellNo);shellNo++;}
But the problem is that the car is moving when you controll it so the bullet stays on the same position and I want it to follow the car and start from the same position as the car whereever it goes.
