ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading Mp3's Into Array - To Code With Less Lines?
Jan 7, 2010
I am trying to automate the loading process of mp3's into the soundList array... I tried it this way and for some reason it is not working. But logically it appears that this should work. The goal is to use a for loop and load 24 mp3 files labeled Bds1.mp3, Bds2.mp3, etc... Bds24.mp3. When I do a trace on new_String it does populate Bds1.mp3-Bds24.mp3. Just does not load the mp3's into the array.
var soundList:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i < 25; i++) {
var new_String:String = new String();[code]....
Is there a tool that calculates various LOC statistics? It would have to support popular languages like C++, C#, Python, PHP, JavaScript, ActionScript, etc and interpret code accordingly.
An example of the statistics I'm looking for: 350 Physical lines of code -- including braces 200 Logical lines of code -- actual code 190 Comment lines 68 Variables 28 Methods/Functions 5 Classes 3 Namespaces
I have a huge code execution with many loops and pre-rendering processes and I was wondering if there is a way to tell the flash player to take a little pause on the code side and do a render.
Basically I have my execusion that takes a while, and on each step I make a call to a screen and then modify the scale of a loading bar. Now the problem is that the user only sees the progress at the end, I know this is due to the fact that flash does code execution and then render, i tried to make calls to stage.invalidate to force a render but it wouldnt work until the whole execusion if finished either. Is there a way to force flash to render between two lines of code?
Anyone know of a program or way to point a program or script at a directory and count the lines of text (code) in in and all sub directories? Just curious as we have completed a fairly big project.
im having a problem that seems to me that its skipping lines of action script
for (a=1; a<=8; a++) { for (b=1; b<=18; b++) { var A:String = let(a); var B:String = b.toString();
[code]....
but when this is run, it wouldnt go into some of those if statements. So i debugged it to see what happened. and at some points, it just wouldnt go into the statement even though its conditions were true.
I've toyed with this script for some time now and I am having issues removing lines of code and still getting my script to work. Basically I want to keep how this code loads and centers the parts of that code that refer to "mc" but I want to take out anything that refers to "bkg". I have gone through the code step by step to comment out areas but when I get to the very bottom, if I comment out this line:
Code: function loadBKG():Void { loader.loadClip("sgbg.jpg", bkgHolder); } //Start Loading loadBKG();
then my script breaks and nothing loads. My main goal is to remove everything that is loading in the background image as I want to replace with better/other code that handles loading a fullscreen image better.
I'm working on a project that apparently has too much going on at once (images, commands, etc). I've pinpointed it down to a single command (which is identical in function to several others right next to it with different variables) and as long as I /* comment */ it out, the program works fine.It doesn't seem to matter which lines I choose to comment out, as long as some of the code is turned off.What are some techniques I can use to make the thing compilesking first:creation of more multivariable functions to reduce overall file size of action scriptshrinking some of the "trace bitmap" images before importing and converting them for the Flashsplitting up the document into a group of small files with a compile program for later (no idea how to do this)setting up a preloader (never done this before and not sure it would work).
I need to extract separate code "lines", where line is a set of characters, finished by ";" + arbitrary number of spaces and tabs + "" and I can't figure the right RegExp to do the trick.
text to extract: firstUpperCase(str) = concat( uppercase(
I may have posted this before, but I have searched the forums, and elswhere.Can anyone tell me a way to break up long lines of code, in VB it's possible to continue a line of code, on the next physical line with an _ (underscore).
I am trying to reuse the lines of code and it worked fine the first time but when I tried to use the evtObj.target.name it gave me error 1120:Access undefined property evtObj.Here is the code I tried to use:When I test the movies it just runs automatically instaed of waiting for the click.
I'm making an animation wich draws a line after a moving object (circle on a guide line). this circle is a movieclip. and I have many lines to draw up, so i put many of them on separate scenes. I've created buttons from movieclips, and when pressed it draws a line. I got everything to work properly, but when one line is drawn, and you press the same button to get the same line drawn again I get the error code.. #1009 cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I think that it's because the graphics is still there but i can't seem to clear it before it draws again.. Ive used graphics.clear (); but that just clears all, so when it "draws" again it doesn't show..only the movieclip-animation works. so what is the problem here?my code for the line drawing is:
import flash.display.Shape; import flash.events.Event; var shape = new Shape();
I drew a line, and named it multiLinesHorizontal_mc (It's not on the Stage, but in the Library and exported to ActionScript3). Now I would like to use that multiLinesHorizontal_mc and bring it on stage (25 Horizontal Lines) with space between each row the gap should be 5.
I start to work on new web 3d engine. I call it IGood engine.As can be seen from the video, it is already possible to create a simple application of visualization without lines of code.Base on for alternative 3d.I am waiting your opinions.
I work as a Flash Developer. There are lines of code I use maybe hundreds of times a day that I have to type out each time. Is there any way to save these custom lines of code to the ActionScript tools library?Or would there be a way to save a custom component that enters the lines of code automatically?
I made this music video, and now I'm trying to give is some UI controls. I have a play and replay button at the start and the end. But I want to have a pause/play button available to users all the time. I know how to do that for one object at a time, but I have around 80 layers. How do I make it so it will pause the whole video (including the music) without a billion lines of code?
Is there a way to load a file and waiting for the event listener with out continuing executing other code.
I tried using a while loop with a flag that is set by the on Complete in order to exit the wait loop.
This generates a timeout error. private var loaded:Boolean = false;
function SpriteLoader(filepath:String){ trace("Attempting to Load File:" + filepath); FileLoader = new Loader(); var FileRequest = new URLRequest(filepath);
I have a set of small circles(balls) on the stage, contained in an array. The array at different times in times in the program could have ballArray.length=1 or ballArray.length=125 or 48 or 0, etc.The balls float around the stage randomly too.I wish to have a function which will draw a line between all the points(balls or circles) in that array.So for example where there is 0 or 1 balls, there would be 0 lines drawn.Where there is 4 balls there would be 6 interconnections. as there would be six lines linking every object to each other object , exactly once per tick in the animation.[code]
I have a movieclip that calls an array, but I want that array to be output on multiple lines in the movie. How do I break up an array in such a way that it is output with the equivalent of line breaks?
[Code].....
When the movieclip pulls in the chunks of that array it sticks them all on one line. Is it possible to include some element in the code above to split the elements of the array onto multiple lines when it's output? Is there an equivalent to perl's "/n" which prints a line break, for example? I'd prefer that option than having to create multiple arrays and reengineer the entire function.

I'm trying to draw a line between circles stored in an array. I have a button on the stage which adds another circle to the stage. My issue is I cannot draw a line between the most recent circle added to the array and the one that will be added next.
It is a bit complicated and I'm not an experienced programmer by any stretch of the imagination.
i'm creating a very linear game which will be dialogue-heavy. In fact, there will be little action involved at all. Think a game storybook. I'm using ActionScript 2 because AS3 is just too complicate for the type of newbie that I am. But all I'm trying to do is set up dialogue between two characters in my game with an image of the speaking character to the left of the textbox. Something very much like this:I considered creating arrays for the dialogue but my problem is that if I create an array for every time two characters exchange three lines of dialogue, I would end up with over 300 arrays. Not my cup of tea.
So, instead, I focused on this. I created a function called speak. Speak pulls two parameters: charNum and charText. CharNum is a number which specifies which frame of the charPic instance should be displayed, showing which character is currently speaking. CharText is simply the dialogue the character will speak, which will be displayed in the dynamic textbox with variable name 'dialogue'.The following code is an example of what I have at home. I'm at work trying to get help, so I don't have the actual coding. Therefore, small errors may be present. I'm looking more at the overall functions guiding my code.
[Code]...
You see, AS2 sees these as I believe what is called synchronous functions, meaning they run at the same time. Therefore, the second speak function overwrites the first one before the user presses the space bar to go to the next one. See the issue?I've tried to seek help on this issue (and other before), and I keep getting told about arrays and setInterval. But my problem is that I've tried it all. I don't see a good array tutorial about this type of thing, and setInterval doesn't function like I'd want as well. Instead, it seems that from what I've read and tried, setInterval is for setting a delay up for a certain amount of time. I don't want that. I want a delay to occur until a button (namely the space bar) is pressed.
Like I said, this seems like a fairly common thing to do (stringing together dialogue in a flash movie/game), but I have seen no tutorial nor other help through all my Google and forum searching. A little push in the right direction would be appreciated. Like I said, I've figured out everything else my game needs from preloaders to game inventory to animation effects.
I have been working on a map viewer based blitting technique. As part of the map I need to draw approximately 50000 lines and performance is currently really poor.
My code is on the main timeline.I call a function loop to draw lines between them.The lines are drawing between the right x, y values BUT between those values on the main stage, not those values within the kite.For example, dot1_mc is at x100, y0 inside kite. the line that should go from its center, draws from stage x100, 0.How do I draw the lines inside kite so that they draw between the dots?Heres my code that draws the linesPHP Code:
function loop():void{ lineDrawing.graphics.clear(); var a:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot1_mc.x, kite_mc.dot1_mc.y); var b:Point = new Point(kite_mc.dot2_mc.x, kite_mc.dot2_mc.y); var c:Point = new
[code]I'm pretty sure I could just run a for loop and add the listeners and settings for each button that way, but what would it take to do this, if the buttons are added on the stage's timeline, they're not added via actionscript.Should I just create an array in AS with each name as an object in the array? [code]Or should I add the dynamic text field inside of the button MovieClip and just change the text to "A", "B", "C" etc in the For loop, as well as setting the mouseEnabled property to false? That way, I don't even need the buttonText array at all.
I'm trying to check through an array to see if any of my movie clips are currently on frame 15, before taking giant leaps I was trying to just get it to work with one var in the array before all of them, for some reason this code is not working, the trace is not coming up.
If someone would like to go a step further and show me how to check through all movie clips. There will be many more than btn1_mc and btn2_mc so I will definitely need to use an array.
