ActionScript 3.0 :: Loop Through XML Data With A Pause - Fadein And FadeOut?
Jul 21, 2011
I have an XML file that is updated every three minutes. The amount of records in the file can and will change. What I want is to load the XML, fade in 6 records, pause 5 seconds, fade out then in the next 6 records until the end of the file is reached. At that point, reload the XML file and repeat the process till infinity.
I have the XML file loading. I am able to count the records, parse the XML, and manually place XML data into dynamic text fields. I cannot get my FOR loop to function properly or get the script to pause between pages. I have not even attempted the fade in/out yet. I think I should have it parsing data properly before I add the cosmetics.
MY CODE:I do not get any compiler errors, but I do get an ouput error:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at xml_data_fla::MainTimeline/processXML()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
I think it is throwing this error as soon as it tries to display an empty record, if that makes since. Say there are 17 records. 17 / 6 = 2 with 5 remaining. When it tries to display the 3rd incomplete page the error is thrown (I think). When I test the file, it only displays the last page before an incomplete page. Here is what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
// *** XML LOADER *** //
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xml:XML;

I'm making a banner for a personal site that cycles through a set of images loaded from XML (makes it easier to add/remove images whenever I need to) and I have used the slidshow script located here:how.htm for the base.What I have so far is working as expected, my images load with a fade in effect pause for a moment then cut off and the next image loads with the fade in effect (loop).My problem is that I would like the images to fade out (quicker than the fade in) after the short pause but I cant work out where in the script I need to execute this.Here is the script so far:
Code:
pauseDelay = 6000;
this.fadeInSpeed = 3;

The client requested a simple slideshow with 8 images. I was able to piece that together, but only issue left is how to add a fade-in fade-out effect. The images I'm using on not embedded in the flash file but are ref from an xml file so the basic method is out of the question.
[]---XML FILE -----------------------------[]
<xml>
<images>
<a title = "_0000_shiny_wristlets.jpg" />
<b title = "_0001_LSSRT.jpg" />

I'm trying to analyze the sample file load_images.fla which is delivered with flash mx... and here's my problem:there's a line in the first frame in the actions layer which is as follows:if (whichPic<5 && !fadeIn && !fadeOut) {.........}now what is "fadeIn" or "fadeOut"? I thought it might be a method of the MovieClip-Object, but it's not listed in the actionscript-reference. then I thought, it could be a method defined within the flash-movie itself, but it isn't (at least i couldn't find it). so what is it?

I'm building a website with fadein/fadeout transitions between sections. On button click, a white rectangle on the very top layer (filling all the screen) is faded in. Once ended, the section changes and the rectangle fadeout is started.
It technically works, but I've noticed that the first transition is not fluid, while the next are fluid. Does exist an efficient technique to achieve the goal?

I'd like to build a fairly simple website where the pages fade between each other, after looking around and remembering what I could from having Flash MX (can't remember which release) all those years ago I figured the best way would be something like this:
Pages as movieclips, these would be placed inside the stage, i.e. with space around them, and buttons along on side which, when clicked will fade in one 'page', and fade out any others where the alpha is at 1.
That way, using only one frame in the main timeline and not having to create fading tweens in each movieclip I can navigate freely between the pages in any order.
I managed to get to the point where I have two buttons and to movieclips, when the first button is pressed a 'page' fades in, and when the next is pressed the first 'page' fades out as the second fades in. However the fade out is delayed and much slower than the fade in, rather than faster as it should be.
Here's the AS
page2btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler_4);
function fl_MouseClickHandler_4(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
how I might restructure this to get a the visual results I want in the most efficient manner?

I am dynamically loading images into a blank movie file. I would like if the images fade in as they load. Remark, I am not using a slide show effect. All i would like to do is load image and make it fade in. When the user clicks to go to the next frame the image should fade out. How to do this?

I have found some code on the web that loads a picture from a folder into a movie clip, and cyle with fadeOut and fadeIn to the next picture by using left and right arrow. I have made some changes to this code by having the pictures cycle with a timer and I also added a group of 6 movie clips for a total of 7 with their own set of picture arrays. So far so good however I am trying to get the fadeOut and FadeIn with a small delay from each other but always in the same order. In other words I want to have clips 1 to 7 fadeOut with a small delay of maybe .5 sec. between each and same thing when the next picture fades in.

I need to produce a photo review show (basically, a photo slide show), which incorporates still photography, and numerous video clips. We will have music playing in the background (not on the timeline - in the actionscript). The full presentation will run automatically - no user interaction, and therefore, I need the background music to automatically fade out when the video starts, and then fade back in when the video ends.
1. Is Flash CS5 the correct software to do this in?
2. code to tell the sound to fade out when the video starts, and fade back in when the video ends?

I want it to pause each time in the last frame for 8 seconds and loop only 3x. Is there a better way to write this? I know all my code should be in the first frame but I still suck.

wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a pause within a 'for loop' before it runs through the next loop? heres the script i've built up so far, i'm running off other variables and arrays to pull in the logos and the animating in is working fine except that they all run in at the same time, basically what i want is that they would run one after the other with a 5 second gap between them..[code]so i did that and put wait(delay); after the var boxcounter=2; in each of the If statements.. but no luck... can anyone shed any light? or suggest a way it get it to hold for a few seconds before running though the loop again? or am i going about this in completely the wrong way??!

How can I pause within a for loop?
Not do some other function or pause the playhead, just:
for (i=0;i<=10;i++) {
trace(i);
wait for 1 second;
[Code].....
I can't make it wait within the loop. I can use setTimeout or setInterval to delay the calling of the for loop, but once it's called it just flips through all the iterations.

I have an animation with about 250 symbols (of six images) moving constantly for about 80 frames, after which it loops back to begin again. Between each loop, I get a pause. I have other looping animations without significant pauses (some with as many symbols), and I can't figure out why I get it here.

I am trying to create a Flash file that will export a JPEG file for a certain number of files, using Quasimondo's BitmapExporter class.
I can get it to successfully export 1 image, but I have a problem getting it to export an image for each element in the loop.
I need to pause the script (with an interval perhaps?) to allow the export to finish, then continue and do the same for every element in the loop. (in this case 5 times).
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import com.quasimondo.display.BitmapExporter;
// This is the bitmap that will be drawn

Im an Industrial Design student that has never really used any Flash before but need to use it now to mock up an interface design for a product/service I'm developing for my major project.
So far, in ActionScript 2.0, I have a picture of a TV and remote control and intend to design the interface over the top of the television picture and highlight buttons on the remote beside it, that the moderator can click to navigate around it.
To get across the idea that the interface pops up over the existing moving television picture I have imported an FLV of some television ads. My problem is that I want the Flash animation (everything but the FLV if you like) to pause and not loop, and the FLV to continue playing (and looping) in the background, but can't figure out how to do it. Ideally the FLV needs to continue playing, seamlessly behind the interface after the next button is clicked etc.
Wherever I seem to put a stop(); action it'll stop everything, including the FLV, and if I just extend the timeframe to the length of the video, it'll still stop at the end or just loop to the beginning of the entire SWF.

I have a movie clip that is preforming a repeating earthquake like effect. What I am attempting to do is have the function pause for a random interval between 2 and 10 seconds before repeating. This is the script I am using for the "earthquake" repeating effect.
onEnterFrame = function(){
mc._x = Math.random()*4;
mc._alpha = Math.random()*50+50;
mc._rotation = Math.random()*2;
}

I have a video looping via AS3; only thing is the video slightly pauses at the end before it loops. I have tried the following, but no matter which method, I get that pause:
(METHOD 1)
container.myVideo.autoRewind = true;
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.AUTO_REWOUND,
loopVideo);
function loopVideo(event:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.play();
}
(METHOD 2)
container.myVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, playAgain);
function playAgain(evt:VideoEvent):void {
container.myVideo.seek(0);
container.myVideo.play();
}

I have only been using flash for a few months and have not yet utilized setInterval. I have a loop that I want to run through once and then pause and then continue etc. So I can have each little test.swf pop up one by one rather than all at once
Code:
createEmptyMovieClip("menu", 10);
function createMenus() {
aMenu = new Array();
aMenu = ["test.swf", "test2.swf", "test.swf", "test2.swf"];
for (i=0; i<aMenu.length; i++) {
menu.createEmptyMovieClip("menu"+i, 100+i);
menu["menu"+i]._x = i*100;
menu["menu"+i]._y = 100;
menu["menu"+i].loadMovie(aMenu[i]);
}}
