Results into: Implicit coercion of a value of type Boolean to an unrelated type Number. Why do parentheses turn into Booleans into Numbers? Can't I use bitwise operations?
I'm testing a photo application for Facebook. I'm getting object IDs from the Facebook API, but I received some incorrect ones, which doesn't make sense - why would Facebook send wrong IDs? I investigated a bit and found out that numbers with 17 and more digits are automatically turning into even numbers!
For example, let's say the ID I'm supposed to receive from Facebook is 12345678912345679. In the debugger, I've noticed that Flash Player automatically turns it into 12345678912345678. And I even tried to manually set it back to an odd number, but it keeps changing back to even.
Is there any way to stop Flash Player from rounding the numbers? BTW the variable is defined as Object, I receive it like that from Facebook.
I get an error telling me to put a Right parentheses somewhere??
Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1, Line 69')' expected
I know that my dot syntax grammar is really bad but WHERE on earth does the right parentheses go in the code?
Code:
if (minion.x, minion.y hitTestPoint(range.x, range.y, true))
nvm I got it to work after I realized I was using hitTestPoint wrong
should have been minion.hitTestPoint instead
took me like 20 minutes to get why my code is not functionning... this line: tempRef.x=(limitL-dist-tempRef.width/2)+(tempRef.width+dist)*(i+1); after auto format becomes like this: tempRef.x=limitL-dist-tempRef.width/2+tempRef.width+dist*i+1; that's not the same thing at all...may I know why this is happening?
View 2 RepliesI am experiencing some rather quirky behaviour with datagrid itemRenderers. First, I create an ArrayCollection as follows:
[Bindable]
private var myBooleans:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([false,true]);
And afterwards I bind it to a datagrid:
<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myBooleans}" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
[Code].....
When running this, the datagrid only shows a row with the correct itemRenderer if the boolean == true. For the row where the boolean == false, it will display an empty row.
I would also like to add that wrapping the boolean in a wrapper object will not cut it for my use case since I will receive an ArrayCollection of unwrapped booleans through an RPC call.
I need to output a series of blocks, when the user clicks, a block changes a color. Am I on a right path? anywhere... (I'm uncertain if I need the array in the main.as). Eventually I need to store the color change in a boolean and trace "Correct" when the blocks are changed in the correct color order. Here is the main.as

For some reason I can't seem to match a parentheses in Flex using Regex to save my life. What's wrong with this?
var commandTxt:String = "switchview(adf)";
var switchViewArray:Array = commandTxt.match(new RegExp("switchview(", "i"));
I've tried dozens of things, but I can't seem to get a match the parentheses. What's the catch here?
I want to do something like this:"3*4".replace(/([0-9]+)[*]([0-9]+)/g, String(Number("$1") * Number("$2")))And no, i don't want to do that, but something more complex.
View 2 RepliesI have a data grid. How can I hide a value of a column if it's "0" ? Do I have to use item renderers? How? Is there an easier way? Second thing, if I have a boolean column whose values are actually the strings "true" and "false" how can I render it as a non editable check box?
View 3 Repliesit is a trivial question. I was just wondering. Does the framework have a helper function that does something like this:

I'll start off by saying I'm a newbie, just putting that out there. How do you make a turn by turn multiplayer flash game? I don't know if an engine is made in AS3, PHP, Javascript, or whatever,I made my game already, it's just that it isn'tmultiplayer yet. Basically, there are lines, and each player crosses out a number of lines, and the last player to cross out a line is the loser. I want it where one user crosses out some lines, then presses End Turn, then the other does their turn and then presses End Turn to allow the other player to move his cursor. But how can I get both players to see the same frame and only have one player have the ability to move the cursor during a turn? Is there some easily adaptable multiplayer engine for flash for newbies out there

I have several two-sided ecards made with Papervision and TweenLite to flip them over.A couple of days ago the "flip" animation changed behaviour. This is in ecards I made several months ago. The ecards work OK but the PPV object is not positioned correctly.On the server, in IE the object is displaced to right and down by about 20 px. In FF it is displaced to up and left by about 10 px.In Chrome and Safari the display is OK.(Just to confuse you further, the display in FF is OK on my localhost).This effect seems to be local to my PC.
I have scanned for malware etc twice but nothing. I have the latest Flash player and browsers.
I call the constructor from a fla file but i cant get a hold of the GamaDataArray via the getGameData() Function it keeps saying that the GameDataArray is Empty, but if i trace within the class it works, when i go to the fla file it says its empty. Can somebody please tell me what i am missing, i know its something super small

im having troubles unloading a swf file that is 2 levels above my main movie. Basically I have a main movie and I have actionscript on the timeline which corresponds to a button which loads a swf (eg my web portfolio work):
digitalbut.onRelease = function() {disableBtns();_root.createEmptyMovieClip("container",1);loadMovie("Digital/Digital_2.swf","container");container._x = -22 ;container._y = 40 ;
This all works....Then in this swf I have another button which again loads another swf on top to show a particular piece of work and the code on the timeline to correspond to the button is:

This works also....but I come into problems when I want to create a button in this third swf file which then closes this Dior.swf so you are left with the bottom two still showing. I already have a close button on the Digital.swf which works a charm to get you back to the main movie and the code for this is:

I'm learning on how to make que loader system. I'm loading in 30 images at once when the swf loads onto stage that contains moderate tween animations. I was wondering would I get better performance if I only allowed to load 5 images at once then next set 5 ect ect. rather than to load 30 images at once? I can't tell because my computer is very good so I can't hardly tell. Is this common practice?
View 2 RepliesTesting locally works fine but as soon as its on a server - published live - the images load random. It loads fine when you publish in flash.
Here is the code and below is the file she sent me.

I want to generate a variable number of random numbers less than 16 with no duplicate numbers
Ive posted the fla, and what i'm doing is generating a random number and putting it into an array then using a for loop to cycle through the array for each new random number to check if its already there. if it is, then i want to regenerate that number.
if you test the fla you'll see that all i get in my array is some lovely zero's and i sort of know why this is, but don't know how to stop it.
I am trying to convert a string having numbers to an integer.
//15 9's are there
var str:String="999999999999999"

But it is not able to convert correctly as the the var res now has the value 100000000000000000. I know that the number has 52 bits of memory, then why is it not able to do the conversion?

View 8 RepliesI created an input text box, and depending on what the user enters, it will create a file with that same name. However, for some reason, it's deleting the last character of the filename when it creates the file. For example, if you type "House" in the input text box, then the file that it will create will say "Hous.txt"What is causing this and how can it be fixed?
View 7 RepliesI am making a banner that has multiple movie clips sharing the same area, creating different rainbow effects when different areas (invisible buttons) are moused over.
First of all I couldn't figure out if there was a way to have one invisible button over the whole area that changed to a different colored effect with each mouse over (first mouse over the black and whites would change to reds, second would change it to blues, third would change it to browns, etc.). Since I couldn't figure this out I settled on creating three buttons covering a third of the banner each, so when the mouse passes over one button it changes to reds, over another button it changes to blues, over the third it changes to browns.
The effects are movie clips where each frame has another stripe changing color so it goes in a wave effect from one to the next, and then goes back to white and black in the same manner. The first frame of each movie clip I had to turn into a nested movie clip so I could turn the alpha to 0, since I was going to have these color effect movie clips on top of one another in the main timeline on different layers, and so you could see the effect even if that color layer wasn't on top. I used the same nested movie clip with zero alpha for the first frame of each color effect clip (reds movie clip, blues movie clip, etc), so I dont' know if that's an issue.
Anyway, it seemed to work fine for a while, but after working on it for a while longer (and not getting any further since I removed most of the changes I made), now when I test the movie the mouse over does not seem to work correctly. It works fine, seemingly, for the first time I mouse over each button, but in order to have it work again I have to mouse over the button twice, and then it will pause randomly during a part of the clip and I have to move my mouse back over for the movie clip to continue.
I can't tell if this is because of the overlapping movie clips, or because my buttons are messed up, or if my actionscript is messed up, or if the timeline has to be longer, or what. Currently the timeline is 55 frames, the same as each movie clip.
I put a movieclip_instance.stop(); command in the first frame of the main timeline, is there a better way to do this? Should I put the stop command in the movie clip itself?
Here is a section of my AS in the main timeline, this is my first time programming ever, in any language, and trying to learn from the internet is more difficult than I thought it would be.
redmovie.stop();
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playRed);
function playRed(event:MouseEvent):void
{
redmovie.play();
}
I have constructed this animation of a broken up image. If I just use the nested for loop in a new file, it will run normally but when i try to let it run after a TweenLite which has an onComplete function, the animation will be looped 4-5 times. [URL]
View 2 Repliescreate a function that picks out X amount of numbers from a set of numbers? So if X=3, then i need this function to pick out 3 different numbers from say a set of numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and then stored it into X number of variables.
In saying that, X will only =2, and =5. So in the first instance, i'll need 2 random numbers from the set above that are not the same numbers, and second instance 5 random numbers from the set above (also no repeats of numbers). Then i need to be able to store those 2 or 5 different random numbers from the set into variables to call them with other functions.
