ActionScript 3.0 :: Preload Class Giving Odd Results?
Mar 5, 2009
I believe I've got this set up to where you can test it out of the box. (Just add photo.jpg)
If you're getting the same results I am, there's a few things that aren't right. One, the main movieclip looks to be duplicated. The other is it's tracing something that shouldn't be traced, a percentage value and some weird random fraction (1.180283....etc). I've removed all the trace statements, which leads me to ask, is there a Flash cache of some sort? I know in past versions the file size would stay the same unless you renamed the fla file.. there something like that for classes?
I know there's a lot of video keywords, it will eventually load video.

I have a movie clip on which I have added a MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT listener.[code]...
Now the logic is to remove the movie clip on MOUSE_OUT and add it back to stage on MouseOver of another button. The intended functionality is like a slider showing some info
The MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT firing in this case is not functioning always as expected. When I move the mouse out of the moveclip fast it fires. If I moveout very slowly it does not fire and consequently the movieclip remains on the stage. [code]...

My AS3 A* pathfinding implementation sometimes doesn't returns the most efficient route, rather like this:[code]The problem: i should have a total score of (distance to end) 30 + (distance from start) 10 = 40, while the tile above i should have a total score of (distance to end) 40 + (distance from start) 14 = 54. Why is 54 being picked instead of 40, I don't know - I use this to find the node with lowest total score on the open list:[code]

I have a timer to try and have my main timeline frame change every X amount of time. I just would like to cycle the frames as if they were an image slideshow or something. It works almost works by this I mean It will cycle frames 1-4 but then it wont go back to 1 with this code. It will go to frame 2 after frame 4 then the timing and randomness get even worse.[code]

I tried to load an external swf file. In this swf file i have an embeded movie so that i see the preloader in action.What happens is, that while preloading i hear the movie playing in the background. So when the external swf is at for example 20% preloading the timeline is already playing in the external swf. Isn't that weird?
I also noticed that the Event.INIT get's executed sooner for example at 17% progress. This should be at 100% is it not? And in CS3 i get the error while previewing the bandwidth profiler:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

I am busy with a big project, for a brief outline, its an induction program kind of like a media rich slideshow done in flash (AS3). It consists of 10 chapters / modules, each module is a SWF with its own class file. Each module loads external and embedded videos and also mp3 sound voice overs at run time.
Each module loads and works fine by itself, but now the problem comes in where I am trying to create a main container swf to load and unload each of the other 10 module swfs, sequentially (ie first load module 1 swf, then when module 1 swf is finished, unload it and load module 2 swf etc)
I have researched for days and realize that when loading external swfs that have their own class files, problems arise because the external swf makes references to stage but it does not have access to the stage yet and I need to use something like this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, whateverFunction) in the constructor of the external file, and "... the loaded content must be on the Display List BEFORE any code in it referencing 'stage' is executed. " as quoted from Barbara Kaskosz's experiment on flashandmath.com. (I cant post links as I am under the 50 post restriction).
After trying for days with this and other guides I found, I still have not been able to successfully apply it to my projects files. If anyone would be willing to take the time for me to send them some sample files maybe my container FLA and two of the smallest modules and have a look at what I've done
My deadline is approaching fast and failing this deployment phase of combining all the swfs into one executable is like tripping at the finish line.
I am posting a link to my simplified and cut down files (for testing purposes) in hopes that someone may assist me. I also want an event to fire on the last frame of each of the modules, and for the main.swf to listen for it so it can unload the current module and load the next module.
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadNextModule", true));
//I think this should go on the last frame of the last slide of each module,
//then in main.as add a listener
addEventListener("loadNextModule", nextModule);
But would this listen for the event firing in an external swf?
I have deleted a lot of content in the modules to help with testing purposes, and simplified and made them only 3 slides each.
TL;DR : I have a container swf with a single movieclip that will contain external swfs that will load one at a time. Each swf works fine by itself, but I get errors when compiling the container swf because (I assume via research) the container swf AND EACH external swf has its OWN class file. In summary, I need the main swf to start by loading module1.swf, then when the user reaches the last slide of module 1, main.swf needs to unload module1.swf completely and then load module2.swf. You can traverse slides by pressing the 'right' and 'left' keys on the keyboard.
This is the error I am getting when compiling main.fla :
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
at flash.display: DisplayObjectContainer/addChild()
at main/loadFirstModule()
at main()
I am attaching what code files I can given the restrictions, if you still require the two external .fla files

I'm trying to place an instance of a movieclip (instance name: tehMovieClip) from the library within another movieclip (instance name: parentMovieClip) on the stage. tehMovieClip, the movieclip going inside another movieclip, belongs to a class called CollisonDetection (linkage properties, class:CollisonDetection, Base Class: flash.display.MovieClip). When I put tehMovieClip inside parentMovieClip, I get this runtime error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
If I just place tehMovieClip on the stage by itself, it works fine but I need it to be inside parentMovieClip.

I'm trying to create some script that will connect to my PHP script, which has searched the database for whatever I told it to....and it will right the results to XML that I send to Flash. What I've been up all night doing is trying to make some kind of class that will allow me to filter those results avtively?
If you're running Firefox:
Go to the address bar and type about:config
When you get there you can filter them by typing any letter
It will return all the results that have that/those letters in them
Notice how it does it for every letter
Actually you can see you preview of it by using the iTunes search feature
I've had enough of these undefined messages in my test output..the same XMLNode object whatever selections worked without the class and now where I could find such a Class or perhaps know better search keywords than iTunes search filter Actionscript Flash Class.

Does a Flash CMS site give you the best of both worlds? I want asite but I need it to be searchable. Does a Flash CMS site rank well enough to do the job? If it does not rank well, is it because the Flash portions would get no SEO but the HTML portions would?OR is it something inherently missing in the software that will keep it low on the rankings, no matter what the ratio of Flash versus HTML there is on that site? Would an HTML site with Flash plugins hurt my rankings much? Could I solve my problem best by having an HTML based landing page that gives access to 2 sites, one strictly HTML and one either Flash or Flash CMS based? Assuming the landing page and HTML portions are optimized properly, is the content that is on the HTML landing page and HTML site going to give me good SEO results, even though one of the options to choose is a Flash site?

How do I correctly declare a variable for each duplicate? The final line doesn't work in AS3 but it does in AS2. I want the same variable for each duplicate that I can individually change. Also how do I make a function for each duplicate? In AS2 I can do it by:
PHP Code:
object = duplicateMovieClip(........);
object.onEnterFrame = function () {
.........

I'm running a function equivalent to onEnterFrame. The function is checking variable values to see where on the playhead to play a particular video. The problem I'm running into is where the first conditional is passing a value of 2 to seqTotal and checking for the value at the same time. The conditional for seqTotal being equal 2 runs before it should. How can I delay giving a value to a variable so this doesn't happen?

On this moment I have a menu and six windows, every item on the menu has his own window. What I would like to do is that when the item 'home' is viewable and the visitor has pressed on another item, the window of 'home' goes away and the item were is clicked on comes up.
But how can I do that the best?I think I must give every window a variable so when there is pressed on a item flash will go search for the window that is shown and let that one play the animation to go away, so the window that is shown must have variable '1' all the others are '0' and when pressed on a item flash search for '1'...But how do I do all this, and is this a good way of working??

I have a movieclip A inside a movieclip B. A has a coords (10, 0) and B has a coords (0, 0). So technically the global point for A should be (10, 0) right? Well it's giving me (20, 0). I put A at (10, 10) and I get (20, 20). This is just the weirdest thing ever.
