ActionScript 3.0 :: Moving Code From Timeline To .as File?
Feb 9, 2009
I'm trying to move my code from thetimeline to an .as file. I have been doing pretty well for a fewmonths jumping in and learning AS3 in a professional, need to getthis online and working type environment, but I have yet to workwith .as files. One thing I'm wondering is: I have 61 lines of code for oneapp and they do a few different things. Do I put these all in thesame package? If I don't, how do I tell my .fla to load more thanone class? The examples of .as files I have found have beenhelpful, but they are all very rudimentary.As you can see from my questions I'm kind of in the dark hereand Ohe yeah - my timeline coderesides in it's own "actions" layer.

onClipEvent (load) {
MinX = 0;
MaxX = 200;
this._x=100;
FRAME = _root.p1;
}
[Code]...
p1 is the instance of the movie which I am trying to move with slider. When I apply above code on the handle of the slider with instance name 'handle' everything works perfect. Slider moves and so do the movie. Now instead when I bring the same code to the main timeline to do the same, onClipEvent does not work, it gives error. So I replaced it with the code written below. Now I can move the handle but movie is not moving.

Is there a way to make code on the timeline and code in a separate AS file communicate with each other?I have two buttons, a yes button and a no button.I have a confirm box which is a movie clip. In the movie clip I have the two buttons on it and code so that every time one of the buttons is clicked it runs a function.I have the rest of my code for the movie (so the code to make the confirm box appear) on a separate AS file.Is there a way I can define the functions on the movie clip and run the functions with the separate AS file?

Here i'm actually not talking about a problem but rather wanted to raise a discussion thread. (Kirupa you may also move this thread to some other more relevant section. Few of my good colleagues till prefer writing code on the Flash timeline, on the frames (code as bigh as 100-150 lines), rather than using external AS files, when rest of the world has reached to AS 3.0 which is close to Java (OOP).I'm just wanted to know the big benefit of writing the code on the frames. I know that it is highly un-manageable and I have personally faced many instances of code not initializing, or behaving strange on a frame.

I am in the learning process. Working with FlashCS5 and AS3. if the issue appears to be too simple for you. Placed a movieclip(mcassessJohn) on the main timeline and moved to the frame labelled "johnFeedback" in the movieclip timeline using the following actionscript code.

As stupid as my question might sound, i have spent the last 2 weeks reading oop books; but could use some guidance. I have a flash project that is basically a supped up slide show. On the stage i have the following: main_mc (instance name = images_mc) = movieclip which holds "pictures" ui1 (instance name = ui1_mc) = user interface that allows user to draw on picture (when drawing is enabled) ui2 (instance name = ui2_mc) = activates invisible hit areas (buttons) on select pics, when hit area is clicked, we jump to another pic in the main_mc.
I accomplished all of this on the timeline, but am updating the code to OOP. I am having A HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out how to store references to the instances (images_mc etc..), so i can control them from varying class files. I have found it is easy to control the instances from the documentclass, but not from unrelated class files. Example: images_mc.stop(); works in document class; but ovieclip(Parent).images_mc.stop() doesn't seem to work from any class file.(ui2 class file for example);

I am trying to find out how to make one .as file code interact with another .as file's code.like, if I had one .as file that specified options of movies and then when the user clicks on a movie (loaded through xml) it uses code from another .as file to load the correct movie.

Is there a way to do this? I am just now hearing of (and experiencing) all the downfalls of using scenes to create an interactive website. I may have to start the whole thing over at the mid point if there isn't a way to convert it into one It will save a week's worth of work!

I apologize if this questions has already been asked and answered. I tried searching through the Flash forum and was unable to find the answer I was looking for. I am very new to Flash and apologize for the simplicity of the question, but I am having trouble moving the playhead along the timeline in Flash. For example, when I open up a new Flash project, and start out with the initial layer with it's single frame, I am having trouble moving the playhead forward to frame i.g. "75" or "80". My questions is, can I not move the playhead because I do not have content past frame one or can I not move the playhead because I have accidentally initiated a button or action that will only allow me to scrub my playhead through frames with content. On the off chance I had done this, I tried restarting Flash with the default settings with no success. Again, I realize this may be a very simple question and I am hoping the answer will be the same.

Hello, I want to have a scene with 10 or so frames animated using the timeline, followed by some user interaction where the objects get moved around with actionscript, followed by 10 or so more frames animated using the timeline. What I find is that as soon as I move any objects using actionscript, the timeline animation won't touch those objects anymore; they are frozen in place.
At the start, I do nextFrame() whenever the user clicks the mouse, to go through the first 10 frames. Then when the user reaches the 11th frame, I want to scroll around on that frame and allow the user to click on an object to make it disappear. (The only way I know how to do scrolling is to move all the objects on the stage by the same amount.) Then when the user is done, I want to call nextFrame() again and have the animation continue. But the animation stops working at that point. All the objects which I have modified with actionscript (all I did was change the .y coordinate) become "tainted" and won't move when I call nextFrame(). Doesn't matter if I change the coordinate values back to what they were when I'm done.
Is there a way around this, to allow the timeline animation to keep going, or should I just avoid mixing timeline animation with actionscript altogether?

I'm just learning the software and haven't been able to figure this out. I'm trying to create an historic timeline for our company and am using 20 jpg images, which I placed on separate layers and then converted each jpg to a symbol and motion tweened to go across the screen. The problem is that there is a gap between the frames when they play as a movie and I don't know how to get rid of that so that they flow continuously across the screen from left to right seamlessly.

What would be the best way to move onto the next frame (frame 2), when an animation has finished playing on the first frame in the main timeline, with no user input? The animation is on the first frame in the form of a nested movie clip.

I'm trying to create a site based on flash.I have 5 frames that correspond to different links and then buttons created with functions to move to each frame using gotoAndStop. On one of those frames i'm loading an image gallery (which seems to be working); however when I click on another button to go to a new frame the images from the gallery stay.I would like for them to disappear when I go to a new frame.I think this is an easy fix but i've been stuck on it for three days.[code]

Im trying to create a gallery application in flash. I created a movie clip and inside of it I create a loader variable. After loading it i want to put it on the stage but not using the same loader. What I am trying todo is to load the information, and the copy the loaded information to a different loader that lives on the main timeline (root) and then use the addChild to put it on stage but its got to be on the main timeline or a different movieclip, not the same movieclip that loaded the object.

So I have a simple game going now with a character running forward and I have to jump and duck under barriers. I was able to make it all work so that one of my three random barriers I made comes at a random time at you. However, I don't know how to make it so that multiple barriers come at you. I feel I need some sort of loop. How should I alter the code I have already? This is on one of the barrier moveclips, the first part sets the platform and position to come at you and the second part moves that part towards you. P.s. this is in cs4.

I was told that putting code on buttons is bad practice now. So, I'm trying to move my button codes to my main actionscript frame. I did it find with the play and stop/pause buttons. However, the rewind and forward buttons are proving more difficult How would the code look if I transferred it from my button to my actionscript frame I'll post the code I have right now in my rewind button.
on(press){this.onEnterFrame = function(){frame = theTargetClip_mc._currentframe;theTargetClip_mc.gotoAndPlay(frame-6);}}on(release){ theTargetClip_mc.play();delete this.onEnterFrame; }rect" answers.

I have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.

I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.

Someone asked me an interesting question on Twitter about when one should have code on the timeline as opposed to a class. My answer was never unless you are controlling the timeline itself.
After thinking more about it, is that really the correct answer? Are there other situations where you may want to have code live on your timeline even if it doesn't have anything to do with the timeline itself?

I am trying to write a class file using a .as file instead of writing code into the script tab of a .fla file.When I write stage.addChild(img); I get an error that stage is null. When I take out stage, and just write addChild(img); the code runs fine, but nothing appears on stage. Do I need to do something to set a stage active?
Is this because I don't have a Main class? My class is named after the file and I don't have a file named Main.Here is the code. As it is, it runs and I get the two trace outputs, but no graphic on my screen.
package { import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class HelloWorldImage extends Sprite { private var background:DisplayObject, foreground:DisplayObject; private var url:String = "hw_jpg.jpg"; private var loader:Loader = new Loader( ); public function
