ActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple EventListeners, Modulus And Rotating Cubes?
Feb 23, 2011
I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and Flash Tutorial, if you are interested it is here http:[url]....What I am trying to accomplish (and it works, just the performance is lousy). All the cubes in the grid are inactive until the mouse hovers over them, then they start to rotate, and once the mouse moves off them they continue to rotate.Time for the script:
To create I create the grid like this:
public function FlowerMenu(){
var rowY:Number = 0;[code]........
this works, but after about 4 or 5 cubes have started rotating theperformance drops considerably.

So, this works, but after about 4 or 5 cubes have started rotating the performance drops considerably. I can imagine creating that many EventListeners isn't a good idea, but I can't see any other way of doing it.

I've created a grid of 3D cubes using modulus, and the 3d cubes are were created from the Math and Flash tutorial. I have set up listeners so when the mouse hovers over a cube it starts to rotate:
private function setUpListeners():void {
spBoard.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,boardOut);
}
That works fine.
To begin the rotation of the cube when the mouse passes over it I have used:
private function boardOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSquare);
var i:int = 1;
function rotateSquare(e:Event) {
renderView(curTheta+i,curPhi+i);
i++;
}}
I can see why this would be inefficient, as it is running the loop every every frame, and for so many multiple cubes it just lags (very badly). I should clarify, I'm hoping for the rotation to continue indefinitely once the mouse moves off the cube. Here is how I am creating the cubes onto the "grid":
public function FlowerMenu(){
var rowY:Number = 0;
for (var i:int = 0; i < 190; i++) {

I have a banner that I'm creating, it has 5 images that rotate via motion tweening. I've created an invisibile button (and also attempted to create multiple buttons) so that when you click on a specific image it will bring you to that URL. So far I have only gotten it to work for the final URL. No matter which image I click on, it only brings up that last URL.
Here is my code:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler1);
function buttonClickHandler1(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"));
}

I have an idea of a game in my head and I wan't to get somekind of functional demo of it done in flash (CS3). I've looked everywhere but couldn't find tutorial for it, as I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm not that good in Actionscript. I'm now trying to describe this problem. On screen there's 4 rectangles, 2 in a row. So it's 2 rows with 2 rectangles in each. between all of them theres 4 circles. If I activate a rectangle with mouse and use arrow keys to rotate it smoothly 90 degrees, 2 nearest circles rotate with it. And same thing happens with all of the rectangles.
So I'm looking for somekind of solution where rotating an object also rotates every circle around it. and when circle rotates 90 degrees with rectangle as it's center point, it can be also rotated with another rectangle. I think I can't explain this clearly?

There is an example of what I'm trying to do [URL]. The only difference is that I'd like to use several different objects in my file...and not only one (i.e., ball or whatever) - but different objects with different shapes, colors....circulating on the same "path".

The section in my code that does the rotating is in _root.onEnterFrame. Each movieclip is moved up/down an notch at a time within a 'for' loop. this loop is within a larger 'for' loop depending how many catagories to move up/down. I shall include this section of code for; i hope, better understanding

I have multiple angle images of an object and I want the result to be the same as the link here. [URL] I don't know flash at all but it seems like there would be a simple program (even if I have to pay) that allows me to import the images, set the rotation speed and other settings and then hit export to .flv file or something. Does anyone know of a program to do this, or a simple method?

I have an event firing that shows progress in a video:
[Code]....
What I'm trying to do is to send a notification to the server every five seconds, to indicate progress. I can round the seconds down to nearest integer using Math.floor. Then I can use modulus to get every fifth second. What I'm not seeing is how not to send a repeat for (e.g.) 5, since 5.02, 5.15, 5.36 etc. will all qualify.

I'm trying to figure an elegant way to display a certain number of items in a grid. I have a feeling the answer lies partly with modulus, but it's a little more complicated than that. I know how to lay out items in a grid based on a set number of columns. Something like this:[code]but what I want to do is set things up such that if there is only one item (j=0), the image covers the entire available area (stage.Width and stage.Height or, for simplicity, 1000px, and 500px). If there are 2 items, there should be 2 columns, with the images taking up half the width of the stage and all of the height (500x500), 3 items - 3 columns (300x500), 4 items - 2 columns & 2 rows (500x250), and so on, keeping a balanced grid layout but decreasing the dimensions of the items and increasing the number of rows in some sort of logical and balanced manner.

I've seen today this website. [URL]..It's really simple but it's really great. Can you guys please tell me if the use papervision or five3d for the main cubes of the menu? also because the font optimization is really great so i don't know what library they have used...

At the moment I have a flash movie which consists of nine 3d cubes floating around (but confined to) the stage. Whenever they collide with each other they should bounce off in opposite directions. It DOES do this but not every time! A lot of times the cubes will interact with each other in a movement I can only describe as a "judder". I've uploaded the flash file.

I need to add 5 cubes made from container movie clips to the stage. So far I have added the container movie clips to the stage, given them instance names and then referenced them in code from there. e.g.
ActionScript Code:
cubes.cubef(cube0);
cubes.cubef(cube1);
[code]....
(cubes.cubef is the function for creating the cube from the container movie clip)So I was wandering if I could dynamically and add the clips to the stage from the library by just using code. I have tried this so far:
ActionScript Code:
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
var cub:MovieClip = new cube_mc;
[code]....
From that code, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at cubes$/traverseParents()
at cubes$/cubef()
at rota_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
EDIT: I have solved this. I used an array for storing the instances then refer to it.
ActionScript Code:
var cubeArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int = 0; i<5; i++) {
[code]....

I have a rotating menu that sets the selected button to the 3:00 position once clicked. I need the labels for the buttons to stay in the upright position as they rotate with the button. I have attached an image. Anyone know of an action script that would keep the labels upright?

Let's say I have a global SoundChannel object, and inside a function I am repeatedly creating new instances of the Sound object to play songs one after the other. Each time I do this, I need to add a new eventListener to the SoundChannel to call the function 'onSoundComplete' that will load the next song on completion.Coming from a strict C++ programming background, I often wonder if it's necessary to do some kind of cleanup in Flash, or if it handles it automagically.Here's example code that specifically removes the eventListener from the previous Sound object everytime a new one is created, but I don't want to be doing this if it isn't necessary:
Code:
// Setup sound object buffer
var slc:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(3000);

I have images loading from an array. A slideshow. This works fine, but they pile on top of each other. I cannot figure out how to remove them. what's the simplest way to remove them? How do I say - if pic1 is loaded, before loading pic2, remove pic1?
Code:
var aPics:Array=new Array("pic1.jpg","pic2.jpg","pic3.jpg","pic4.jpg","pic5.jpg");
var threeSeconds:Timer=new Timer(3000,aPics.length);
threeSeconds.start();

Trying to add EventListeners to Bitmaps.Can I add an EventListener directly to a bitmap?If I load an image to a UILoader then addEventListener to the UILoader instance that works just fine, but if I use a Bitmap instead, nada...I could load the Bitmap into a Sprite and add the EventListener to that, but would prefer the direct method...

Is there a way to listen for the cursor in the input text field? I am making a form, and when the user clicks on the input box I want text to appear to the right side and than fade when they leave that text field.
the text field is called input_txt;
psuedo code
input_txt.addEventLister(event.MouseEvent, showText);
function showText(evt:MouseEvent):void{
text_mc.visibile = true;

Inside a .fla file I have some buttons and each button will tween a different image to the stage. All the images are outside the stage in the same x and y position and I just need to tween the x coordinate.
Now I'm working with an external document class where I'm trying to hold all my functions and I'm stucked with the Tweens. I'm willing to stay away from the flash tween engine and I'm trying to work with tweenLite.
Is it possible to pass parameters through eventListeners so I can use something like this inside my docClass?
public function animeThis (e:MouseEvent, mc:MovieClip, ep:int):void { //ep stands for endPoint.
TweenLite.to(mc, 2, {x:ep});
}
If this is possible, how am I supposed to write the listeners so it will pass the event to be listened for AND those parameters? And how to build the function so it will receive those parameters and the event?

I've got a few MouseEvent listeners outside of a function that contains nested functions that need to use the functions attached to the listeners.
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonOver);
function navigation (): void {
if statements;
[code]....
I keep getting an "1120:Access of undefined property buttonOver" error. I know it's because the EventListener is outside of the function "navigation" but I need it to be accessed by other functions later.
