ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting MC Y Coord Movement?

Apr 6, 2010

I have a MC made up of 5 vertical images. I have buttons that control the y value of the MC to move it up and down so that you can scroll through the content. Everything works fine, except that I cannot figure out how to make the MC stop moving when it gets to the last image on either end. I assumed it would be something simple like adding a > or < condition in the button so it would stop working at the extremes, but I can't seem to get it to work.

my website to see what it is I am talking about. [URL].. Click on the "print work" link and you should see the MC and the buttons that control it.

My knowledge of actionscript is basic, at best. I'm trying to make some animations move randomly by following a very helpful tutorial posted on this site [URL]..

ActionScript 1/2 :: Limiting The Randomness?

Feb 25, 2011

I have this line of code, it's a part of a code that generates mcs at random X and Y, it worked when I wanted it to spawn everwhere, but now i want to limit the X to 200 - 430 this is the code for spawning on all 640 (1-640) pixels of the movie:

this._x = random(640);

i've tried (200-430) but it acts as 200 minus 430 and I end up with the X being 0 somehow
 
Edit: Never mind, I got it... Here's how: this._x = 200 + random(230);

Professional :: Required With Limiting StartDrag()?

Jul 26, 2010

Quite new still to AS3 so if someone can help me out, or point in the right direction,Stage size is set to 750 wide x 440 high and my hi res image is 1500 wide x 880 high. image is called mcImage.The hi res image on the stage that is scaled down to 50% on both X and Y axes.I have a zoom in button, a zoom out button and a reset button. All do pretty much what their name suggests.When you zoom in, it adjusts the Z axes of mcImage to make the image appear larger on the stage. So far so good.I then get the new co-ordinates of X and Y by using the localToGlobal feature and record them in a variable, passing them to the mouse Handler for the dragging of the image.The issue is, whatever I try in startDrag(); does not limit the size of the dragable image, nothing happens, though I am expecting it to allow me to drag the image around within it's boundary!I am sure that the code can be tidied up, but I am still learning a lot about AS3 and trying my hardest.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flowing Mc Movement Opposite Of Mouse Movement

Feb 12, 2003

I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Ants Movement (based On Snow Movement)?

Jun 22, 2004

I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.

onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting A Container To A Certain Number Of Children?

Feb 9, 2009

At one point in my script I'd like to check a MC for the number of children and limit this number to 3. For that I use this script:

Code:
if (container.numChildren > 3){
for (i = container.numChildren; i > 3; i--){
container.removeChild(container.getChildAt(i-1));
popError('Horizontal nur 3 Elemente!');
}
}

This somehow works fine if there are 4 or 5 children in the MovieClip, but as soon as there are 6 or more, it throws an Argument Error #2025 and does not remove anything. BTW it does not make difference if I use container.removeChildAt(i-1);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Limiting Input Text To Unique Characters?

Apr 20, 2011

I already know how to limit my input text to a number of characters, but how would I go about (if possible) making sure characters do not repeat? In other words, I have a ten character input text box and I want you to be able to type pretty much any character but only one of each.

Example:

AFKEIOPCNK

What I'm trying to eliminate is this:

AANHDKDDJI

If that isn't possible, I'd like to instead detect if there are repeated characters so I can just say "that's invalid".

Media Server :: Live Stream Bandwidth Limiting?

Dec 12, 2008

I have confirmed this behavior in FMS 3.0.2 on Windows 2003, Vista, and Linux.

In prior versions of FMS if I had a publisher sending a live video feed to the server, then I could have subscribers connect to the server and set a bandwidth limit for them and the server would ensure that the subscribers only got as much bandwidth as I set for them. As of version 3, the server now ignores this limiting for live streams.

You can set a limit on the publisher which of course then limits the live stream that subscribers view, but that is not what I want. I want to have the publisher push a live stream at the quality I specify and then I need a way to give some subscribers a lower bandwidth version of that stream. This all worked fine in prior versions of FMS and I can't imagine this is intended behavior in version 3, but it seems like a major oversight.

The bug can be replicated by creating a simple flash app to stream live video to the server and then in a separate NetConnection, subscribe to that live stream and display it. Then on the server side, setup an application.onConnect to do a setBandwidthLimit on the subscriber and you can see that it is totally ignored. You get the full bandwidth stream even though the limit should be reduced for the subscriber.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Prevent Scrolling In Textarea Not By Limiting Characters

Jul 2, 2009

I need the ability to create a TextArea entity in a constrained area (i.e., it is located at x and y and is w pixels wide and h pixels high and have that never change.), containing a proportional width font. As such, no 'num char entry limit' strategy is feasible. They need to be able to fill the entire area, and if that means 1,000 period '.' characters, or 200 '#' or "W' characters, then so be it.

The two lines following this one consist of 30 periods followed by 30 Ws.
..............................
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I cannot limit a user to 30 characters. They need to be limited by using a TextArea that will let itself be filled until full, and then refuse further input until space is created by removing existing content. I then need to print that TextArea _as rendered on the user's screen_. Any 'scrolled' lines would be unprintable, and therefore the user's entry must be limited BEFORE any scrolling occurs, or contrariwise, when scrolling occurs, the last entered content would need to be removed and the entity forced to un-scroll. I can program this. It won't be elegant, and in fact will be quite stupid, as any programming where a change event is called with each keystroke or paste and then conditions tested is inefficient, wasteful, and well.

Flex :: Security - Limiting Web Service Access To Public

Oct 6, 2009

I have a flex application which collects data entered by the user and posts it off to a web service I have running on a back end server. The flex application does not authenticate users (it's available for anyone to use without setting up an account) and communicates to the web service using HTTPS. There is an XML firewall in place for preventing certain malformed requests, DoS attacks etc and the web service validates all data received from the client.

If I was to sign the content then I could use the XML firewall to verify the signature but I assume that any certificate type data I embed in the client could be extracted out of the flex app through some means of de-compilation. My question is, is there any way of limiting calls to the web service to only those from my flex client? I understand that a user could input bad information but I'm really trying to prevent another client or 'bot'.

ActionScript 2.0 :: XML Adding Thumbnails Tut - Limiting Scroll Boundaries?

Sep 14, 2006

I've been working on Kirupa's adding thumbnails to the XML photo gallery. I've managed to change the scroller to one that is vertical and reposition it to where I wanted it and everything works fine. urrently the code accounts for when the mouse moves (on the horizontal) to the left or right of the thumbnail container to stop scrolling. However when the mouse moves up and down to scroll (on the vertical) it continues to scroll even though the mouse has moved outside the container area. I'd like for it to only scroll when the mouse is within the 30 pixel - hit_left/right boudaries.

Here's the code, as you can see the changes have been very little from the original.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [mx2004] Limiting A Rewind Call On The Timeline?

Nov 25, 2006

I am using the following code to perform a rewind on the timeline when a button is pressed:On the REWIND button:

Code:
on(release){
rewState = true;[code].....

My question is, can I limit the rewind feature to just 12 frames at a time? Right now it rewinds back to the beginning, totally skipping all the stop(); commands on the timeline. I've tried for, do, and while loops in various places (one nearly froze my computer up!) with no luck.

update: I've added the following to the code so the user can at least stop the rewinding:

Code:
on(rollOver){
rewState = true;
}[code]....

but the thing moves forward in 12frame intervals.It is wierd having it move in reverse freely like this. So I am still looking for a way to get it to move the timeline backwards in 12 frame intervals...
