ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop An ENTER_FRAME Event When Go To The Next Page?
Sep 27, 2011
I have an ENTER_FRAME event on one of my pages to create a progress bar for an audio track. It is working great, but I when I click on a button to goto the next frame, it continues to run the ENTER_FRAME event continuously. I have many audio tracks in this project and need a progress bar for each. however, once a second one starts, it really begins to bog down the player. Is there a way to stop an ENTER_FRAME event from continuing after you leave a page? Here is the code i have:
I've got a button that, when clicked runs a method. The method waits for a condition to be met (or rather, waits for a variable to be set in the model) and then updates the view. I did this by setting an ENTER_FRAME listener and it works fine:
ActionScript Code: private function loadHouseRoom(e:MouseEvent):void { view.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loadStuff);
[Code]....
I also tried setting the addEventListener to use a weak reference, but the Event never gets fired in the first place.
Note: I have to use a method like this. I removed a bunch of code irrelevant to this question to make this more readable, but the user needs to be able to change his mind and click another button before the loadStuff function is called.
I am a newbie in ActionScript 3.0. I want to make flash application that will zoom in object when on mouse over and write same text on the screen and zoom out object a clear text when the mouse is roll out.I have a probelm, when I roll over the object it zoom in the text appers and when I roll out the object returns to the default position. But when I roll over then I rool out and roll over again (not wait until zooming out is completed) the addEventListener does not stop and text is mixed (part pf the text is from first zooming in a nd part of the text ist from second zooming in)
This is my code: //import the tweenlite packages. import com.greensock.TweenLite;
I was having a go at a tutorial which worked fine but then I started seeing how it would work in an external file. Object Oriented Flash. On line 27 it picks up the following error... 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event. //function enterFrames(e:Event) I've tried this for myself but what are the function parameters I need to mimic the same motion of the bouncing ball?
I have a one-frame .fla with script on one layer and a movie clip on another. The movie clip has an instance name of "titleBar," which moves from left to right using dynamic tweening.The tween code moves it from an X position of 200 to a X position of 820.Then I have a function called "xChange," which waits for titleBar's X value to be 820. Once it does, I'd eventually want to load an external swf but I'm just running a trace for now.Again, Here's the code.
i'm trying to build a flash site and ran into a problem... i have a gallery page with a bunch of page numbers at the top. when you click on one, a movieclip loads of some images coming in.so the problem i'm having is that i made a little animation for when you roll the mouse over the page number (they scale up when the mouse is over, scale back when the cursor moves away)... what it's doing is when you roll over, it goes to a certain frame in the timeline and plays that animation.that's all working cool, but i need it to not do that once it's clicked on. so basically when you actually click on a page number, the over script should stop until you go to another page... here's the code i've written,
function over(event:MouseEvent):void { this.gotoAndPlay(30);} function out(event:MouseEvent):void {[code].....
I have a little problem while trying to get a URL on a Enter_Frame event using Flash AS3.I would like to trigger the URL request on the last frame of the movieclip.Everything works fine except that instead of getting the URL once, it keeps loading it all the time.
Result: I get hundreds of web pages opening in my browser.
Here is the code I use:
stop(); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,my_function); function my_function(e:Event):void{ var homeLink:URLRequest= new URLRequest("http://www.myurl.com"); navigateToURL(homeLink, "_self"); }
I have multimoduled application and I need to monitor when the mouse is moving or not moving on a protion of my swf file.The app is consisted of video player , text part and video list on the right.So I want monitor when the mouse is moving just over the video player not the whole swf application.I have this function
Code: vidPlayer_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkMouse); function checkMouse(e:Event):void { if (sw==0) {
[code]....
I use vidPlayer_mc.mouseX/Y; property but i doenst seem to work.I need the functionality when mouse moves over video player the playbar on the bottom shows up and vice versa.
I want to create an endless loop, 8 items moving in a circular shape. When you roll over of each item, it will stop the moving, and you should be able to click it.
I dont know what should I use, should I use Event.ENTER_FRAME or the circular shape should be in movie clip, so that when there is a mouse over event, it will stop moving?
Oh ya, I code everything in AS3, including the movement, objects etc. Something like a new class
I wanna apply a glow filter to a button. What I want to happen is that if for a media player the currentFrame = totalFrame i.e, if the seekBar reaches last frame, I want the next_btn to animate,...like Glow In and Glow Out.
I dont want a mouse_over / mouse_out event to handle the animation.
Possibly I think that I'll have to use a Enter_Frame event, but I cant think of a function to do so.
my glow filter is like this...
var myGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xFE4110, 4, 2, 2, 4,2, false, false);
Variable called "switch" has a boolean value of "false".Event.ENTER_FRAME event listener method fires, and calls method "onEnter()".Within the "onEnter()" method, the "switch" variable is set to boolean "true".My question: What is the best way to make sure "switch" variable is called, and set, only once during the ENTER_FRAME event?
Is it as simple as checking if "switch" is false, and then setting it to true... Does it matter that I would be doing the if() for every frame of the Event.ENTER_FRAME?
I'm attempting to use the ENTER_FRAME event listener in order to change the text value of a field every 60 frames..I have the strings I want rotated out in an array that is being referenced in the if/else statement The movie doesn't even error out, it just doesn't work.
I have a script that relies on ENTER_FRAME event to run every time. I have noticed on some slower computers there can be some lag when a flash movie is playing. Does ENTER_FRAME run on every frame, even if its on a slow computer? If the flash movie lags, does the ENTER_FRAME event still run and the rendering just try to catch up? Is running code on ENTER_FRAME a reliable way to execute code every time a frame is entered?
No matter where the EnterFrame event is registered, the frame would not be rendered after the EnterFrame event handler done in each frame.For example, I have two unrelated MovieClips:
Code: oneMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tick); function tick(event:Event):void { if (otherMC.currentFrame == 20) { otherMC.gotoAndPlay(5); } }
The frame #20 of "otherMC" will never be rendered on the stage, right?
I use 2 options when i comes to animationg objects with Action Script
1. Timer based animation
PHP Code:
initTimer = new Timer(1000/fps); initTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveItem);
[code]....
2. ENTER_FRAME event based animation
PHP Code:
var time:int = getTimer(); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveItem); function moveItem(event:Event){
[code]....
Both of this options work ideal for my needs and they produce smooth animation. My question is witch one is better and why? And is there more ways to animate objects with action script?
This code works fine if the timeline is moving forward through the .flv file. However, the going in reverse produces choppy results. The choppyness seems uniform, as in, it's always choppy and always the same intensity. [code]...
I am creating game which involves some billiard-like balls to bounce on the screen. I created a MovieClip with only one frame which represented the ball, exported it to the class, extended it to my needs and animated it using Event.ENTER_FRAME. It works fine, but there is something that confuses me -- both, the stage and the ball have only one frame each, so I don't quite understand how Event.ENTER_FRAME works... I mean, if there are no keyframes, how is done the animation? If I used already animated MovieClip, I would have to add keyframes, right?
I am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME event with a number of dynamically created movieclips and it is not working.The swf features a series of five clock faces that the user will select by hitting the appropriate button. Each clock has five unique movieclips to that season including a second hand, a minute hand, a main character, a seasonal clock face and a back ground, again, each of these MovieClips are different on each of the five clocks. So I have a series of five listeners for each of the buttons:
I'm using TweenLite class (AS3), I have very big project, should I removelistener of timingSprite.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateAll, false, 0, true); in Tweenlite.as file, after my animation is complete? i'm affraid that ENTER_FRAME causes memory leak for my project.
I have narrowed this error down to the following code, but i cant see the problem...
Code: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ENTER_FRAME not found on flash.events.Event and there is no default value. at sample_fla::MainTimeline/frameEventHandler()
ActionScript Code: addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,frameEventHandler) function frameEventHandler(Event){ var collisions:Array = collisionList.checkCollisions();
I have editable grids which are 2-way binded to my model. What I want is to validate my data when user edits any cell before it get updated in model. I have applied my validation at ItemEditEnd handler, but, I want to apply validation in between itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd events.
When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.
When i zoom into the page then move around the edge of the page can be moved past the edge of the browser window showing the static page which appears at the start of the document. Is it possible to use actionscript to stop the page being dragged past a certain point so the static page is not seen? On the example below the static page is white so it does not pose too much of a problem however im using the static page as a sort of instruction page and it looks a bit rubbish if the user drags a page past the edge of the view window and see's the original page. Example below. [URL]
I'm working on a pretty basic interactive children's book. I have it set up so that each page has audio relating to that specific page. Going forward, there is no issue with sound overlapping from the current and next pages. Going backward, however, there is an issue with sound playing on both the current and previous pages. How do I stop this?
