ActionScript 3.0 :: Single Variable Flipping Between States Seemingly For No Reason?
Jan 27, 2011
My movie is basically complete and consists of simple movie clips as buttons, these listen out for specific states and when these conditions are met a function is run which generally either plays a movie clip or runs a prevFrame loop.For some reason, although the mouse over and out conditions are working correctly the mouse down condition causes the variable to flip through 3 states which causes the panel im trying to show to basically run through 5 frames and then reverse for a single frame.I'm literally banging my head on my desk for a solution and my manager is starting to look at me a bit funny. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Heres me code
Actionscript Code:
// import classes import flash.events.MouseEvent;// enable button mode for movie clipsmc_red.buttonMode = true;// Create variablesvar red_rewind:Boolean;var

Offline (on my drive) it works, but online (on my website) it loads the entire flv before displaying anything (..I get the animated barber shop sign scrub bar thing).Is there any additional coding or setup I need to do for it to allow me to play it even while it is downloading, as it's supposed to? I just spent a week trying to get my Quicktime .mov's to Fast Start, and it just isn't happening, despite everything I try.I had it work ONCE now using QT Pro, but now they aren't working again.
I gave up on QT, and am trying the FLV route using the FLV Player component... which looked promising, but is now giving me the same issue.Clip thumbnails (embedded movies) on my HTML page that don't download until you click play... and when you click play, it starts playing as soon as it has a good enough head start in the load.I've tried Fast Start QT's....as well as external FLVs loaded via a swf with a FLV Player component inside..

Now my website is up and running, (functionality wise, not so much with the content yet), but I've noticed a problem with the buttons.They work for me on my Mac in Safari and Chrome, but not in Firefox. On my PC the buttons work in Chrome but not IE. They work sometimes, on some computer/ browser combinations, and not on others. On my friends mac, they would not work in any browser, chrome included.(Even the same computer/browser combinations don't seem to have continuity).It's seemingly at random when they do or don't work.I went ahead and added html links to to the top of my page, so people could still get around without being able to use the buttons, but its really is a drag that i've worked on this so hard and yet they have less than a 50% working rate.I have tried using flash help, tried researching the topic in forums, debugging, etc, with no luck! I have no errors in my code.I have no idea what is causing their limited functionality. Here is my website URL so you can take a look at my site and my html for embedding the flash if you want: [code]my site has a preloader, so i don't think its an issue of the page being loaded fully. My links are absolute/concrete html links. They are not relative to any folder structure nor are they pointing to files on my hard drive. I almost feel like it's a security setting on some browsers not to let flash take them to external websites.Is there some way for flash to override browser security settings?I'm just using the wrong keywords?about the extra script on my buttons; I have them set up so that they load and unload a movie clip appropriate to each respective button inside of a frame on the stage, each time you mouse over and out of them.

how to set variable time for a single timer, like I first setup this timer:
private function timer():void{
var randomTimer:Timer=new Timer(time,0);
randomTimer.addEventListener("timer", somefunction);
[Code].....
So how can I influence the time inside the timer? Do I create a global timer, remove the listener and recall the timer function? Would this work since the timer has already been declared, I a re-declare a timer?

I'm trying to cut down the amount of code I type to complete a project. Using things like ?: and &&= over the typical if statements. Is there a way to compare a single variable to a group of variables? example...
var1==var2 || var1==var3 || var1==var4 ? doSomething : doSomethingElse;
is there a short way to check if var1==var2,var3,var4?

Is there a way to group a bunch of movie clip instances into a single variable? Reason is, I have a lot of movie clips acting as buttons that I have added to event listeners. All of the movie clips with do the same functions and I have a few different functions created.
For example. How can I change this
Code:
mc_aitkin.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeAlpha);
mc_anoka.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, changeAlpha);
mc_aitkin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver);
mc_anoka.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver);

This is hard to describe in a sentence, so i'll write some false code: (with incorrect syntax, of course)[code]...
Is it possible to do something like this, where I pass the name of the data Type that I want it to create and it does it within the function? And I know that with this simple example it isn't necessary to do it this way, but in the full program this would save some time and make the code more efficient.

Is there a way to reference multiple movieclips using a single variable name? For example,I'm making a side-scrolling game, and there's going to be many platforms, and I have some code that tells the player not to fall through these platforms, but I don't want to copy and paste the same "platform" code every time I add a new platform.

I've got a function 'fullReset' which resets the stage and places several movieclips (which are balls) back to a starting area. Within this function is a call to the 'unlockBallfunction within the Ball class (see bottom of code below).

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.

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:
[Code]....
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?

Testing 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.
Code: Select allthis._lockroot = true;
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var myShowXML = new XML();

Actually, I'm struggling with a flipping swf. I did lots of research, and know about flash component. Now I can make a simple swf flipping book like this. [URL]. However, I wanna add more functions in it. Like this. [URL]. This example is a html..contains css, javascript..etc...
just wanna know, is it possible to do the same thing in swf version?
That means..I want to make a flipping swf that i can:
- flip like a digital magazine
- double click to zoom in/out and drag
- also have buttons to control

I created some text, converted into a movie clip and I have three keyframes - 1,5,15.at 1 the text is as it is, at 5 i flip it horizontally, using the transform tool [q key] and at 15 i flip it horizontally it again, so it's normal again And I've put motion tween between both the places. Now when I preview the swf, from 1 to 5 the text animates as it is supposed to clockwise but from 5 to 15 it rotates clockwise
So it covers 1/2 revolution and then traces the same half back to become normal again.What must I do in order to make it swivel in clockwise sense only ?

I 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?

I 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 a sprite element that i need flipped around 360 degrees, in it's position. I am looking to flip it forward, (similar to a dial in the casino machine, spins on the z axis).I would like it to look as if it was flipping forward, and then back to it's spot. The rotation would have to be on the z axis. I would prefer not to use the Enter_Frame event.

_testSprite.graphics.beginFill(0xFF);
