ActionScript 3.0 :: Structure Its Script Layer?

Aug 19, 2010

I have an all Flash based website with a few sections and UILoaders for PopUps which open up from image buttons from Product section. (url...)

PROBLEM:  I have assigned labels to each section of the website. Each section has its own image buttons which open different PopUps. This is the part where the sections differ from one another and thus require its unique part of AS3. However there are main menu buttons present on every section of the site. This is where the sections are identical and require one uniformed AS3.

PRESENT SOLUTION:  I have segmented the AS3 layer by keyframes to match the keyframes of the labeled section. I put the code for all the main menu buttons on the first opening keyframe which plays the intro sequence and the stop(); code as well. Then I put stop(); in the beginning of every single section afterwards, I did not repeat the code for the buttons from the first keyframe but started to add the code required by corresponding section only (i.e. products section has only products relative code, application section has only application relative code, etc. and none of the main menu buttons code from the first opening keyframe, even though the main menu buttons are present on every section).

QUESTION: Should the AS3 layer be one uninterrupted layer with all AS3 code needed for all of the website elements on the timeline or should it be segmented by keyframes per corresponding sections of the webstie and repeat all the code from section to section if the elements and functionality repeat as well?

Flash :: ActionScript 3 Package Structure And Directory Structure

Jan 23, 2011

I seem to run into compile issues in Flash Builder when I import 3rd-party libraries at the wrong level in the directory structure. For example, sometimes I'll import a library one level too deep into its directory tree, and the package explorer ends up excluding the prefix root-level package, usually "com." or "net.". Even though the content of the source itself doesn't change, this will cause compile errors.

Thus: Is it a 1) convention or 2) language requirement that a class's package structure (e.g., "foo.bar.Class") must match its path location (e.g., foo/bar/Class.as)?
If it's a language requirement, why is it a requirement? Wouldn't that overdetermine the package structure, since it is already specified in the source code and quite happily consuming the first three to eight columns of each line? If it's not a language requirement, are my compile errors just a result of Flash Builder enforcing the convention?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Putting An Action Layer Over A Layer With A ClickTag Element

Nov 19, 2009

I am doing some research on creating clcikTags. I read a few places that the clcikTag should be on the top layer. That has been fine, but now I want to loop it and I usually put my actions in the top layer. Will this cause a problem? Am I better off just putting my loop  action on the last key frame of the clcikTag layer?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Convert Layer To Movie Clip Or Print Layer?

Aug 9, 2010

Im creating a program that is designed to allow the used to select  3 pictures (movie clips) and print them off on a single peace of paper.

The program works by allowing the user to select 3 graphics (the graphics are actually instructions for various exercises) and then moving the desired movieclips onto the stage. This all happens on a layer named "Content"

So far the program will allow the user to select the movieclips and will move them into place on the Content layer as well as move smaller versions of the pictures into a preview box the only thing it does not do is print. (the most important bit)

Professional :: First Layer Contents Disappear When Pressing F6 On Second Layer?

I want to create a simple mask. A white oval on a second layer on top of a bottom layer that just has a word of type. I want the oval to travel from the upper left down to cover up the type. When I create the second layer, create the oval, and choose a distant frame for the "end" of the oval's positioning, my type in the first layer disappears as soon as I press F6 on that second layer. Why? Why is it nuking my first layer?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Draggin MovieClips In A Layer Beneath Another Layer?

My question is this: I need to be able to click on the Paint layer when I am above a draggable MovieClip and trigger the MouseEvent for the correct object to drag it around, but the item must always remain below the Paint layer.

How To Have Outline Sketch On Layer A And Color On Layer B

Nov 5, 2009

I'm trying to do a little comic comedy type video in Flash. I've done an outline sketch with the pen tool of my first character, now I want to color it BUT I want to keep the colors and the outline sketch separated on two different layers. Is there a way I can select the path (outline) on layer A and then colorize it with the bucket tool on layer B? The problem I'm having is that every object I select it automatically jumps to that corresponding layer.
 
One reason why I want to do it this way is I still want to continue working freely on the outline sketch since it's not fully finished, so that I just can blend the colors out and keep working on the outline, at the same time I want to color it while I go just to see where it's going and to make sure that I'm not wasting my time unnecessarily with trying to do a outline just to find out that it won't work out at the end.
 
how to do a comic type animation, how to create the characters, how to make them move and talk? It can be a free or paid resource.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Add Layers / Re-order Layers / Move Movieclips From Layer To Layer

Oct 22, 2008

Is it possible to add layers, re-order layers, move movieclips from layer to layer or specify which layer a duplicate movieclip appears on at runtime with AS3?I am aware of the depth properties and the functions associated with that but it would be easier to have a concept of a layer because I am dealing with masks.I have a nasty feeling I'm gonna be told that layers don't really exist within an swf and that depths and setmask are all there is to work with.

Asp.net :: Best Way To Structure Of Remote Service?

Dec 8, 2009

I'm not sure if this is technically a web service or not but I have a Flash file that periodically needs to make a round trip to a DB. As it stands, AS3 uses the URLLoader class to exchange XML with an ASP.NET/VB file on the server. The aspx code then goes to the DB and returns whatever information is requested back to the Flash file.As my program grows and I need to execute a larger variety of tasks on the server, I'm wondering if I should just keep placing functions in that same aspx file and specify in AS3 which function I should load for any given task. OR, is it better to break up my functionality into several different aspx files and call the appropriate file for the task?Are there any obvious pros and cons to either method that I should consider?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tag Driven XML Structure?

Dec 28, 2009

I have a XML file with images and tags which should be loaded into movieclips.The tags are separated in maintags and normal tags. Maintags are describing the image itself and "normal" tags are referring to other images. If you click on an image/movieclip its normal tags should be read and referring to other images' maintags which now should be loaded into the movieclips.Sounds complicated but actually it's easy. Theoretically I understand what to do, but I'm not able to express it in Actionscript.Here's my(rudimentary) code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Editing The Structure Of The .fla?

Sep 28, 2010

I am editing a free template and I have a problem. The original free template (175 Photo Gallery by flashmo.com) has 6 frames; 3 galleries, 2 "text pages" and a contact us form. I want to have 5 galleries and the contact us form.I copy-paste the actions and structure of the galleries on the "text pages" and edit this 2 new actions to link to the new gallery file (in this case the number 4): Code:flashmo_gallery03.load_gallery("flashmo_175_photo_list_04.xml");The problem is, I assume you have seen it already, is that the action to gallery 4 is linked to gallery 3, since no gallery 4 and 5 exists in the structure of the site.I have noticed that the .as file that controls the frames is a "pagecontect_8.as" file (thx to Trillix decompiler) that I assume is internal. The original code is:

Code:
//class pagecontents_8
package flashmo_175_photo_gallery_fla

Actionscript 3 :: Replacement For C Style Structure In OOP?

Feb 28, 2010

I am a student with a mainly electronics background getting into programing. The more I get into it, the more I realize how bad I am at it. I am trying to get better at OO design.One thing I have been reading about is the use of Getters and Setters.

Now I can see the point they are making here but I am still unable to see away around some simple problems. And this brings me to my question (finally). I am setting up a simple tower defense game in AS3 as a learning exercise. I want enemies to follow way points so I was going to make an array of way points, and make that a property of a map object. And a way point was to be an object with an x and a y property (more like a struct).
