I have this problem that I don't know what causing it. This is what happened : I made an animation which is called anim.swf, in that animation i put some code to generate instance of movieclip from the library to be put on the stage using this code :

I"m a bit confused because FlexUnith 4's behavior. When I use fail() in try-catch body fail method is just ignored.

I suppose this one should fail as there is no way around it, but it succeeds and turns green. Whatam I doing wrong? When i put fail() before try-catch block it fails as it is suposed to. BTW using Flash builder 4.

Is there another way to work with movieclip classes than attaching them from the library?For instance say that I have a textbox class that extends the movieclip class. Puts it on the scene and then I'm free to work with it from the class as I want.But inside this class I check if I need a scrollbar. If I do, then start a "sub-class" and create a scrollbar. I can have a movieclip in the library and attach it and have a new class on it. But what I want to do is write something like this
var clipScroll = createEmptyMovieClip("scrollBar", 3)
clipScroll = new com.texts.text_items.ScrollBar
the problem is if I do like this the class that I start is just an object. I can't trace where it is, I cant create a movieclip inside it and trace where that is.
I've recently had a problem in my application's flow. I was sending an event from one of the frames of a movieclip and the issue was that it was being sent over and over and over when I wanted it to be sent only once. I assumed that placing a call to stop(); at the last frame of the clip would prevent it from looping. This was not the case however. After that I tried calling gotoAndStop(0); to reset the movieclip and stop it from looping. This did not work either. Then I went through my code to make sure nothing else was causing it to play.
I solved the problem by adding an extra frame to the end of the clip and calling gotoAndStop to that frame instead of 0. I've looked around the forums and google for information on this phenomenon but have only found cryptic answers. I was wondering if someone could explain the divine purpose that drives MovieClips to play regardless of whether they are told to stop or not when they get to frame 0 or 1.
I'm loading an external swf that is a button to close other loaded movies. I want it to stay above all the other movies at all times so that the user has a way to close them and go back to the main stage. There are buttons on the stage that load external movies and the close button movie loads automatically. All of the movies load in fine but once I load in a movie from a dynamically created movieclip button on the stage, it covers up the close button movie.The following code is where I dynamically load movies from the dynamic movieclip buttons and then after that is where I load in the external swf for the close button.
//Dynamically assign external movies to load from
//the dynamic buttons
for (j=1; j<holderArray.length; j++) {

trace("-->: "+mc.textSnapshot.getText(0, 1000));

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.

View 3 RepliesI load an image into a MovieClip. At a second time I want to move this image to another MovieClip.
View 1 RepliesI'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.
View 3 RepliesThis is something I'm experimenting with, but haven't seemed to figure out... I have several MovieClips, basically the same, only different colors. As each one plays, I'd like it to "overlap" whichever one is already there. Right now I have each button linked to a gotoAndPlay function, but I don't think that will ever get me what I want. You can see how I have it now here: [URL]
Instead of having the content MovieClip go back to all white when a button is clicked, I'd like the preivious one to remain, and get "covered up" by the new one. You continue to see the old color, and the new color overlaps it. I have a feeling I need to use a variable and then addChild, with a removeChild for the old MovieClip after the new MovieClip has loaded, but I'm not getting any good results yet.
hide movieclip A when a loaded swf B overlaps that movieclip? movieclip A = level0. loaded swf B = level1

My app uses a Dictionary
protected _categoryToValueDict:Dictionary = new Dictionary();
to map something to something else.Now, at a certain point in the application, I need to remove a certain key from the Dictionary.I implemented this simple method:
public function setCategoryNoValue( cat:TAModelCategory ):void {
// delete( _categoryToValueDict[ cat ] );
var old:Dictionary = _categoryToValueDict;
[code]....
Thus, my question: What's the difference between the two alternatives? To make the object referenced by myObject eligible for garbage collection, you must remove all references to it. In this case, you must change the value of myObject and delete the myObject key from myMap, as shown in the following code:
myObject = null;
delete myMap[myObject];
Is suppose this to be a typo. Shouldn't it read like this:
delete myMap[myObject];
myObject = null;
Why pass a null-pointer to myMap as key?
I have a couple of buttons in my flash application that call two different javascript functions. They work in all browsers except IE9 (I haven't tried earlier IEs). My code to call the function is something like this:
ExternalInterface.call(
"myLovelyFunction",
string1, string2);
[Code]....
In IE9, the function does absolutely nothing, but the console complains with:
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'SetReturnValue'
index.php, line 1 character 1
line 1, character 1 is obviously pointing at nothing in particular.
I can make it work fine by switching on compatability view, although the console error doesn't go away.
Is there anything about IE9 that causes this, and more importantly, how do I fix this?

View 3 RepliesI'm making simple 3D transformations in Flash to rotate stuff, but I get distortions. I can rotation left, right, up, down, but not diagonally since it completely distorts my faces (the ones I draw).I think I fail to move the camera somehow, but I'm not experienced enough to understand my error.Here's the file: http:[url]....
Example: when a face is rotated at about 45° around the y axis (vertical to screen) and then rotated around the x axis the perspective doesn't feel right... the faces are too narrow.What I do is multiply the rotation matrices between themselves (the mouse position providing the angles) get the transformed points, project them to screen and draw boxes with them.
I'm using a Dictionary with weak keys to test if an object has been garbage collected. When all references to the object outside of the dictionary are removed, I expect the dictionary to no longer be populated. It seems to work for an Object, but for a Sprite it indicates that the garbage collection hasn't taken place.[code]...

I want to make a flash application in which i will load 3-4 different mp3 files of different instrumental music. After loading it I want play all files. Further I want to save or create a merged mp3, from all mp3s sound files in a single mp3 file.
Is it possible to convert different mp3 sound track in to different ByteArray and later using any other technology like PHP or C# can we merge all byteArray in a single byteArray to create a single mp3 file.
So that we can listen all instrument playing in a single mp3 file.
