ActionScript 3.0 :: Switching A Variable's State Back?
Mar 20, 2011
Im currently programming a game and having the character animation respond to the spacebar to play a jump animation.
To cut the code down here is the bit that's the problem:
ActionScript Code:
var space:Boolean = false;
if (evt.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE && space == false)
[Code]....
The script works great, apart from when the animation is over, the variable 'space' is set to true, but I need it to go back to false after the function has been applied.

In my view I have a welcome screen:

Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:
[Code]...
Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?

In my app, I switch back and forth between Scene 1 & Scene 2 using gotoAndStop. No problems in either scene the first two times each. After doing Scene 2 the second time and going to Scene 1, one of my buttons is gone and the variable for it is null. The button was created with the IDE, not in my script and exists only in Scene 1. I have nothing in my script that moves it or removes it from the stage, let alone destroying the object itself.
Using the debugger, I noticed that the pointer for the object has changed at the very beginning of the scene (flash.Display.SimpleButton(@146fb21) to flash.Display.SimpleButton(@146fd91)). So it seems to me that display objects made with the IDE are destroyed (var = null) when exiting a scene and recreated when the entering the scene.
what could cause this one button and not any other similarly created objects (buttons, movieclips, textfields, etc.) not to be recreated and only after the second revisit to its scene.

I was just curious as to whether or not it is possible to broadcast a live stream and then be able to push in, let's say for familiarity, a commercial? I have tried to find some information on the Flash Dev Net area, however, I don't think it leans towards what I am aiming for.

I've made a nav bar using buttons, and have them working just fine for Up, Over, Down, and Hit. (okay, so hit isn't a state, but I'll count it is as the fourth one)Problem is, once clicked on and produces a change in the flash, I want the button to not return to the Up state, but to visually be different so you can tell you are in that section.First problem is I can't for the life of me think of what that state is called. (Makes it hard to search for, and my poor little brain is fried right now.)Second problem is, can I force a button to not go back to up state? (either the over or down state would work fine).Or do I have to detect the click and then make a call to swap out the button file for the relevant section?

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?

I'm having difficulty accessing a variable value within nested MCs.
On Scene 1 in the addFullPanel function, the variable panelNames exists.
However, I'd like to use this variable value within the MC FullProjectPanel in the switch function in order to load a corresponding xml file.
As it stands the variable is empty within the FullProjectPanel function.

I am using this collapsible panel - link. Unfortunately, I have a problem using it with application states. I have a state where this panel is visible, when I switch to this state, this panel shows, when I click on it, it opens and its content shows. If I switch to another state (this panel is removed from display), and then switch back to the previous state, the collapsible panel stays open, but its content disappears. In other words, the collapsible panel's content doesn't persist through states. Anyone know what the problem is? Or is there another collapsible panel that can work around this issue?

The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!

have movie clips on the stage that I have addressed as buttons[code]...
For some reason when I call the select function the variable flips from false, to true and then back to false again which causes the animation im trying to play to hitch and stop 1/2 way through.
I have used the exact same script on other objects in the file but with different instance names and they ALL work fine, this is the only one I can't get working. I have tried removing all other scripts to isolate this one but it makes no difference.

I've hit a very strange issue in adobe flex and I'm not sure how to solve it. I have a popup box that is called on creationComplete before startup of my main application. The popup simply asks for an email address and then the application is enabled showing the email address in a label component.
However, when I try to access the email address from the label component called UserID.text in the application, it is always null even though it is visually present in the label box...It seems like it loses state somehow...so HOW in earth can I keep it from losing state? I need to access the label or some variable throughout the use of the application and everything I try always ends up in a null variable?The main part of the application that sets the label is here:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:controls="com.iwobanas.controls.*" xmlns:local="*" creationComplete="showWindow(true)">
private function showWindow(modal:Boolean):void

Basically I am trying to do a Flash (AS 2.0) application that connects a FMS server. That isn't the problem, though. The problem is that when I click a button (myBtnEn) it changes a Bool variable to true, and if I click another button (myBtnDis) it changes the same Bool variable to false. The problem is:I want to display that variable's state in a Dynamic Text Box that is inside 1 Movie Clip and it doesn't change/display a thing else than when is loaded.[code]as you can imagine the code for myBtnDis is the same but "false" in the place of "true".myBoolStatus : name of the VARIABLE in the Dynamic Text Box.I have tried to name the Dynamic Text Box (for example "myBoolStatusP") and then add the ".text = " code but still the same.

I have a slideshow that I want to loop. What it does is load an xml file with the locations of the images. It uses an int variable to progress from one image to the next. What i need it to do is when it gets to the end of the list, to go back to the beginning, essentially setting imgNum back to 0. So I figured a simple if/else statement would do the trick, but I just keep getting a "TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties." no matter what I try. The nextImage function is triggered via the movieclip that runs once the loader is done and has been added as a child to a placeholder inside said movieclip. Here's the code:

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)

It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.
