ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Arguments From Multiple Sources?
Jul 21, 2009
I need a method to be triggered by a MouseOut event but I also need it to receive a property created by another method which is updated by a MouseOver event. I have tried damn near everything I can think of.
The following code show's how I would like to reference the underMouse property created by the menuOver method.
The thing I'm not understanding is how to have the menuOut method retrieve the most current underMouse property before it executes since both methods are triggered at the same time.
ActionScript Code:
menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, menuOver);
menu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, menuOut);
public function menuOver(event:MouseEvent):void
[Code].....
I've tried adding a String parameter in the menuOut method such as:
public function menuOut(out:MouseEvent, over:String):void
....but of course i get the expected 2 arguments error everytime a MouseOut event is registered.
I have a rather big (34 MB) Flash CS4 AS3 swf being loaded as a whole into a preloader like l.load(new URLRequest("sample.swf")); What are my options to minimize loading time? Can I split the swf and load from several servers? I'm dynamically loading images from the library:
var myBitmapDataObject:myBitmapData = new myBitmapData(100, 100); var myImage:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapDataObject); addChild(myImage);
Right now I'm declaring/referencing every single image in order to get it included in the compiled clip. Any better way? Haven't got round to using Flex yet.
I am loading multiple images into a class instance and I would like to keep track of how large the complete amount of loaded data is at any given point.I have grabbed the totalbytes from my directory of images via a PHP script... but collecting the new bytes from the ProgressEvent on each image seems tricky for some reason.Let's assume that the totalBytes variable is correct and that I am totally unfamiliar with the way that ProgressEvent works.Does an event get fired every time ProgressEvent gets a new byte? If not, how do I keep track of the current total bytes?[code]
I'm struggling setting up 4 live audio sources with fms 3.5. I have 4 streams input from our studios into 1 encoder server. From here I need to pass it to the internet via 4 FMS 3.5 servers. I do not want to have 4 * 4 encoding sessions on the encoder in order to service the 4 FMS servers. Is there any way to pull the streams from the encoders? I have also tried configuring explicit connections using 1 server as an origin server and 3 as edge servers but being a live stream the load and connections seem to get passed to the origin server which will eventually not handle the load. I've looked through the application.xml server settings but cannot seem to see any noticeable settings?
Can Flash Media Encoder handle several video sources and live srteam them all at the same time? We want to stream a few over the air broadcast sources using Flash Media Server v3.0. Is it possible to install several TV tuner cards into a PC and have Media Encoder live steam each of them at the same time? If not, can several copies of the software run on the same machine (each with it's own video source live streaming)?
So I have this button that when I click on it I want it to load two different text files into two different text boxes. This code works just fine for loading 1 file into one box,but not when I try to do the other thing. Whats wrong with it?
I have some .mov files want to stream to Flash media server by ffmpeg. i have already tried to stream a single .mov by FFMPEG command in terminal and it works, the FMS can display the thing i streaming in live.Now i want to stream multiple files as one source, i tried to use above command one by one, but it seems Flash media server stop the streaming when file1 is finished, then start the stream with file2.It makes the stream player stopped when file1 is finish, and i have to refresh the web page in order to continue on file2.i am calling the FFMPEG command by a C program in linux, i wonder is there any method that i can prevent the FMS stopped when i switch the file source in FFMPEG? or is that possible to let FFMPEG constantly deliver the stream by multiple files source without stopped when a file finish
I am trying to get my flash file to load data from multiple sources/domains. It works perfectly in the development environment, but as soon as you launch the swf locally or online, it doesn't load the xml data from external domains.
lets say I define a function that does a simple trace of the arguments it takes in, now is it possible to have multiple arguments? like sometimes i want to send in a String argument, sometimes a Number, and sometimes an Array.Do I need to create the same function 3 times to accommodate for the 3 different inputs or is there a way I can keep one function but send one of the 3 values.
I have a main class that is running an external sub class which loads my data (loads data via flash remoting on a ColdFusion server). No problems loading the data; however, I am trying to run a function from the main class on the sub class function onResult. I do not have problems running functions in the sub class in general, only in the responder result function. Problem: My problem is that I can't pass the main class through the function onResult because I get a error with the arguments.Here's what some of the code look likes:
function init(){ myService2.connect("URLgateway"); var responder:Responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);
I have a problem when making flash applications with more than one frame that has symbols placed on it in that I can't declare all of the event listeners for the objects at the same time and I have found that even if I put them all on the first frame, add the event listeners, then click through to the next frame then the buttons won't work on that frame.
Does anyone have any idea how I could solve this? I did consider myself a fairly competent AS3 programmer until I realised I had no idea how to handle this sort of thing. Solved: I initialised the clips from my external class and then addChild'd and removeChild'd them as I needed to and placed their x and y on addChilding.
i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?
This is more of a database design issue but almost everybody here uses database integration with their apps so I feel it is important. I am integrating AS3 + mysql + php and need to clear up the database design for multiple students results in various activities. Developing an online e-learning course with a "dashboard" or teacher control panel with all kids results in each activity. I have read the database design rules by Codd etc... understand the need for parent and child tables so information is relational and not duplicated etc... BUT I am not sure how to design the results part. Various students do various lessons with 10 activities which each give a mark out of ten. The table would be updating every few seconds as 10,000 users would be online at the same time
1. Would I create a results table with all the students results going in the same table ie: Tom would be the first row
i use loadmovie() to load youtube videos inside my flash website but when i load another video the old one doesn't stop, so i tried unloadmovie to destroy it but it seems that i did a mistake in my code
This is how the code looks to stop the old one an load the new:
I have a group of 16 images that I would like to load 1 of each into each movieclip. I want image1 to be inside of visual1, image 2 inside of visual2, and so on. the images are named like, 1960s_(1).png where the 1960 (year) part is coming from the rangeNum variable. The above gives me this error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addChild through a reference with static type int.
I'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.
[URL]
INSTANCE NAMES
box 1 = "circle_mc" box 2 = "circle_mc2" both the grey boxes are called = "targetCircle"
I want a chart that has several separate series running in rows across. They are largely separate charts and should not overlap, but all share the same horizontal datetimeaxis. They don't share the same y-axis, however and that's where I'm getting stuck.I have tried having a linechart series and then a plotchart series, but it will only allow a single <mx:series> per chart without having them inside the same series which as far as I can tell will place the charts on top of each other in the z-axis. I can stack them and have them completely separate charts, but it was proving to be somewhat irritating having them align correctly.
Is there any reasonable way of combining multiple charts into one like this? Basically having rows in a table where each row is a different chart but the columns are consistent. or am I going to be best served just by stacking separate ones? an illustration of what i'm going for is here: http:[url]........
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.
i have been building a library that has thumbnails which you click to view the full image. i have built the application it works but i want to change the way the image on the actual thumbnail loads using code instead of manually adding the value to the url loader component.
var myX;var instanceN:String;trace(instanceN);var currentLoad:uint = 0;// current loader and image loadingvar thumbnailURL:String;//Thumbnail URLvar thumbReq:URLRequest;// Thumbnail url requestfor(var k:uint = 0;k < iL_btn.length; k++)[code].....
the loop runs fine without the last line of code which i've commented out.the make up of these thumbnails are a uiLoader component which are each inside there own movieClip.what i wanted this to do was every time the loop runs it currentLoad adds 1 to its value then that value is subbed into instanceN:String and thumbnailURL address that bit works the trace statements read correctly.but my issue is using the instanceN value as the instance name path which then loads the current thumbnailURL value which is the URL address for the thumbnail picture.when i try to load the url address using the commented out code above i got the error .TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.the trace statements correct values below
the first value is the currentLoad value.
the second value is the instance name path.
the third is is the URL address for the thumbnail.[code].....
I have a flash movie with 3 buttons I am trying to link relativley to pages within my site, I have one working fine but can't get the others to link and when I try it makes the one that is working, work no more..
Below's the code I am using for the one that is working;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;var getIndex:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../index.html"); //---Enter Button---\
ActionScript Code: stop(); var xmlRequest:URLRequest= new URLRequest("graphicImages.xml"); var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlRequest);
[Code]....
So I figured that the coding of separate scenes would work independently of one another, but I guess I was dead wrong, because when I apply this to a different scene and change the XML path for a different set of images, I get all sorts of conflict errors when I test the entire movie. I have my flash film set up so that each link send the user to a different scene, which plays a unique intro for each, and then the slideshow appears on screen and the viewer can navigate the images.
Is there a work around for this? Or am I going to have to break my flash movie into separate movies? Or should I just add a suffix to all my vars and functions so that they are unique for each scene?
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view. Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
I have 50 images that need to be on stage, which will be embedded into 50 different movie clips. I named the movie clips image1-image50 and the images are in an external folder named 1-50. Every freaking article or tutorial I have found clearly explains how to upload one image, or just one at a time. I can do that, and spend 2 days renaming all the functions, but I do not want to do that. Is there a better way to just load all 50 images, place them accordingly?
I have a map with a list of items to the side. I want the list to work as buttons and highlight both the button and the particular image on the map... and when you click you link to a certain location.I also want to be able to MouseOver the map, have both the image on the map and the corresponding 'button' from the list highlight - but when you click, you go to a different location than if you would have clicked from the list.I have it set up - but something is conflicting. Here is how I have my code set:
Code: BUTTON_ONE.onEnterFrame = function(){ if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) { this.nextFrame();[code].......
I am creating a stand alone DVD to be used with Flash player. I am wanting to add different videos that play with different buttons. The following is the code I have for the video to play when the corresponding button is clicked..... My problem is how do I get that video to "leave" and stop playing when another button is pushed to play a different video.
Educators_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickEducators); function clickEducators(evtObj:MouseEvent) { gotoAndStop("OE")
