How can I keep repeating my functions below endlessly? I am Using the enterframe and timer class.I want my object to keep going across the stage over and over.Do I need a for loop?[code]...
View 2 RepliesI'd like to create an endlessly looping movie that loads 3 images, then fades out each one using a tween to reveal the image just beneath it. As soon as the third image fades, I'd like for the animation to start over and just keep repeating. I'm trying to use a timer. I would imagine that a "for" loop would be used to repeat the animation but I can't determine how to make loop more than a select number of times. Below is the code I have.
View 11 RepliesI'm just starting to learn to make my own functions and was trying to make a walk sequence. My original program used an elaborate series of counters and onEnterframe, but I want to take a different route (basically starting from scratch) because my walk sequences always turned the avatars into picasso paintings when two or more keys were pressed simultaneously. I'm more familiar now with set and clear timeout, but what do I do if I want a specific sequence to count up, then down, or rotate back and forth, like the pendulum of a clock? starting with a basic function like function walk(bodypart){bodypart._rotation += 45;}. if (keyUsed == 68){walk(square_mc);} what do I have to change so the square rotates back and forth +/- 45 degrees while depressed?

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to repeat a function that basically will attachmovie on a "tileset", an image depending on the parameter. It's called AddID(i), and currently there's only 2 valid options, 0 and 1, images showing, X and O. There's a Button, and theres an array and a function that shows an image of the tile depending on its ID value loaded from the array.
My problem is: Everything works just great as if you repeat the function by clicking again, but... When repeating the function by code, all the tiles will have the Image of the last tile added.

I have a little video that is supposed to be an endless loop. I embeded it into a web site as a swf, it streams and than stops at the end. I just read there is a action script to make it loop.
View 6 RepliesThis is probably an easy one, but I don't know the proper AS2 code, or where to put it within the code listed below.
What I have is an external FLV loading in my SWF with a Net Stream. Everything is working, but the video loops when it gets to the end. How can I make the video stop after it ends, and stay on the last frame?[code]...

I currently have a dynamic text box loading some html text (from external source) and scrolling automatically (need it to display news for a website that will be updated weekly by the client) .... I was wondering two things:
1 - Is it possible to endlessly loop the text (currently scrolls it and stops at the end)?
2 - My main movie is at 35 fps (too fast) can you set the speed of the scroll?
here is the actions on my container movie clip (very basic)

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();

By the way I'm still really new to Flash and AS3.I'm writing this quiz that gets questions and answers from an xml file in the same directory and displays the question in a TextArea, the available answers in a list, and additional text in another text area.Most of it was working the way I wanted and I noticed the apostrophes weren't coming through the XML so I thought I'd try escaping it with a not thinking. I did a publish preview and saw that my list loop became infinite populating my answer list. I took the out and still had the same problem. I backed out as far as I could in the AS3 and couldn't find anything that would cause it to continually loop like that. I traced a statement at the beginning of the script and realized it was actually looping the whole app not just an event or function. I'll reply back with the code.

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 have a simple mp3 player, with PLAY PAUSE PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons. the problem i have is if you click the play button more than once, the mp3 clip will start to play itself as many times as you clicked. this sounds really bad..u could have the clip playing over itself 5 times.
Code:
if(play button is clicked ONCE){
(deactivate play button until next song);
}
in other words, only one PLAY-button-CLICK allowed per song...

View 2 RepliesSo, I downloaded a simple sound loop from Flash Kit.
I am building a Flash webiste and want the sound to loop once the movie loads. I have added a stop and play button to the movie in case the viewer doesn't want the sound on. I understand sound can be annoying.
I add the following code to the FRAME 1 of the movie. Everything works fine but when the loop finishes, it just stops. How do I get it to continue looping? Also, as I navigate to other sections of the movie.. I want it to continue playing and not restart when I go back to say "Home". Home starts at frame 1 as well.[code]...
