ActionScript 3.0 :: Signal Function On Complete Of Another Function?
Apr 8, 2011
I'd like to signal a function to run when another function completes.I am filling a scrollPane with some dynamic content and want it to resize once the content has filled in some dynamic text boxes.I'd like to signal a resize function once the function that fills in the scrollPane completes.I tried something like this but it does not seem I can add this sort of listener to a funciton.
i wanted to use an event listener to call a function when another function as been completed. this is the code i tried: import caurina.transitions.*;
createBox.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, createBox2); function createBox(){ var boxMc:box = new box(); boxMc.width = stage.stageWidth; boxMc.height = 200;
My problem is that getTourData(); kicks in too early and I dont want to use a timer 'cus I dont know how long removeAllMyChildren is going to take since it may be large sometimes. Give me a se, which way to go
I am creating an intro where a sequence of tweens and transitons are triggered. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get an event to happen when a transition is complete. How can I get "headTitleTm" to trigger the "sigIn" function once it is done?
Code: function headTitleTransition(event:TweenEvent):void{[code]............
i couldnt attach my demo, its basically two buttons on stage, that play two seperate sound files, they can be turned on and off by a simple boolean.All songs are short sound files (going to be 10 second loops)What i want to know is, is there anyway to not start either of the sounds until the other one has finished its loop, so they are synchronised, so if i start one button off, and then put button 2 on midway through, it actually waits until buttons 1 sound is back at the start of its loop cycle until it starts to play it.If this is possible then i am excited as i am going to make a small little project [code]i have started working my way through the tutorials and already understand so much more about the basic concepts of AS3,
I am attempting to build a generic XMLLoader class with a static LOAD method, with the intent to use it as follows...
private var _data:XML = XMLLoader.LOAD("path/to/xml_file.xml");
Then I could use it in any client and go-to-town with e4x.
The general problem I am having is with the URLLoader's COMPLETE event, which necessarily calls a different function to set the XML data.This is preventing me from being able to return the XML from the LOAD method, since the data is being set outside that function. Obviously I need to wait for the COMPLETE event in order to make sure the data is available.
I though, perhaps, I could create and return a _waitForData function, which recursively calls itself until the _data is set, then returns the data. But it seems redundant (since Event.COMPLETE is doing that anyway), and the way I tried it generates a stack overflow error.[code]...
I am running a loop to pull thumbs into a containing movieclip from an xml list. What I want to do is have the thumb's parent movieclip fade in after they are done loading, but I can't figure out how to reference the parent once it's loaded.My code(which currently doesn't work the way I want it):
var vsThumb:articleBox; var currentarticleX:Number = 0; var articleLinkURL:String;
So, I'm trying to load resources, add them to a dictionary, and have a drawing method search through that dictionary and draw based on certain predicates. I have a function that iterates through an Vector of Strings, calling on an instance of Loader to load them instantiated as a URLRequest.
private function loadImages(urls:Vector.<String>):void { var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code].....
So the issue is: Only the first images in my Vector are drawing. Upon further inspection, I found that the completeHandler was only being called once (I put a trace in the complete handler to check). However, the Loader is invoking load everytime the loop iterates. I tried instantiating separate loaders for each resource, just to see if it would work, but I had no luck with that. Do I need to make separate loaders and event handlers? Or am I just not using Loader correctly?
I am trying to create an event listener to check that a function has completed before the next action is run. In simple terms I have a module that is opened and closed via two functions... module_open() and module_close().Each function has tween elements that must complete before the next element is processed... i.e the next function, etc.This is the code I have ( have attempted to create an event listener but I seem doing something wrong. I am not even sure that it is possible to create an event listener that checks for a function finishing before calling the next function.
Code: function onAbout(event:Event):void { module_close() module_close.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onClose_Complete);
I have created a class named XMLclass and inside that class there is a function named returnFillColor.The function looks like this:
Code: public function returnFillColor(XMLchild:uint):String{ var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); var xmlData:XML = new XML();
[code]....
When i call this function from my main class, it returns nothing because the XML wasn't done loading. I've double-checked this by adding addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE) outside the function.Is there any way to return data from the xml-file with just one function?(like adding event.Complete to the returnFillColor-function)
I am trying to run some code after the XMLConnector triggerfunction is completely done loading all of the xml data into theflash file and the bindings are updated. Is there an event or somekind of way to pause and run the code after all the radiobuttonsand checkboxes are updated with the xml boolean values?
i am trying to return an XML object, but having issues. The object is only created via an Event.complete function. I need to return the XML created from my loadXML function via my grabXMLfromFile function.
Code: function grabXMLFromFile(attrPathToXML:String):XML { var fileUrl:String = attrPathToXML; var myUrlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileUrl);
i'm loading in multiple images using the same loader using a for loop. what i'm trying to figure out is how can i tell when the first 4 images are loaded. is there away to attach and index to each loader and then get it from the event in the on complete function? below is the code i'm using:
I am having an issue with a class I'm working on. I currently load an image as a bitmap and store its data into regState:BitmapData so that I may make new instances of that image later on. When I test if I can use the loaded data at a later time with my newBitmapIntance() function, it says that regState is null. I'm lost as to why this is the case, since it works flawlessly to create an instance of itself in my loadContent() function.
Class so far For reference: package { import flash.display.MovieClip;
I basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.
I'm using Flash 8 (in case you need know what version I'm using).There's three flvs I have assigned a cuepoint, "complete". The goal is to make a graphic visible when "complete" cuepoint is detected, but this function seem doesn't work, any feedback on function?:
Code: var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection(); nc.connect(null);[code]....
I'm trying to get this one function to be able to call many functions (not at once, but call many possible ones)In other words, I'm trying to get this variable to be named as a function. That way, this one variable can create multiple functions.example:
actionscript Code: class Thing extends MovieClip{ var funcvar; var othervar; function onLoad() funcvar = "YYY"; othervar = "ZZZ"; function onEnterFrame()
I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.
I need to return to my original function after capturing an event (downloading something) with another function. The original function needs to return a value, which depends on the downloaded data. So, I'd like to pause original function for the time needed for the download and the eventhandler function to complete it's work, and resume it afterwards.
The obvious way is to set a flag value (both the original function and the eventhandler are within the same class) and make the original function check it until the eventhandler function changes the flag. But that would be wasteful, and my AS is slow enough already:) [other parts of the application utilise some heavy graphics]. Is there another way? Like an event that gets captured "in the middle" of the function? Or some other form of flow control?
Let's say I have a Custom Event Class, and it has several Event types stored in static Constant:
[Code]...
Is there an easy way to validate that the type passed to the Constructor is one of the Static Constants of the Class, without having to check it against each value?
