ActionScript 3.0 :: Try/catch Statements Working But Not As Expected?
Aug 21, 2009
I've got some try/catch statements in an XML parser I've written that don't seem to be doing what I want them to be doing.
The code:
ActionScript Code:
try
{[code]........
The problems:
-In the case the type is analysis or info (with other tags being alright) the "Default Text" is staying blank, even without a text tag.
-If I purposely malform the option tag, no alert window shows up and none of the other properties in the catch block (optionText,selType, etc.) get set properly

I am developing a simple galaga clone for my site, its at [URL] . You will notice the controls work fine in firefox, opera, safari, chrome, etc. However, in IE, the controls are only triggered if the mouse cursor is hovering directly over the player ship.
The playership object is created in the main document class which passes a reference to the stage to the playership class.
private var ourShip:playerShip = new playerShip(stage, ourHUD);
Which is then added to the stage from within the document class (gameMain)
stage.addChild(ourShip);
The playership class then monitors the mouseX and reacts accordingly. The code for the ship controls which are linked to the enter_frame eventhandler is
Code:
public function controlShip(e:Event):void {
var a1 = stageRef.mouseY - e.target.y;
var b1 = stageRef.mouseX - e.target.x;
var radians1 = Math.atan2(a1,b1);

I have created a flash gallery using the in built template in Flash8, which works fine. The gallery forms part of my gallery page of a separate SWF flash site. I load the gallery using a loder component. Since the gallery navigation works by targeting the root folder, my site gets screwed up. The question is, how do i modify the ActionScript in the gallery.fla file (flash inbuilt template), so that once loaded into the main site, it doesnt target the root timeline, but targets its own timeline i.e.Please see below for the code in the Flash Gallery. PS: I didnt write the code - its inbuilt into the template:
function updateFrame (inc) { // send slides to new frame newFrame = _level1._currentFrame + inc; _level1.gotoAndStop(newFrame);
updateStatus();

I just cannot understand why mouseEnabledWhereTransparent does not work on this skin. The Skin this creates is basically a Button with a transparent background and a little triangle to the left side, like so: >ButtonText But the empty space around the Triangle does not receive mouse events. I've tried wrapping another group around the triangle path and I've tried wrapping it into a Graphic Object, also without success. I could create a Rect with 0 alpha below everything, but isn't that exactly what mouseEnabledWhereTransparent should be doing?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkSkin xmlns:fx="[URL]" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:fb="[URL]" minWidth="21" minHeight="21" alpha.disabled="0.5" mouseEnabledWhereTransparent="true">

Would anyone know why using graphics.clear(); in this example is preventing the graphics from being drawn?
e.g. the following code works and the lines are drawn.
var my_shape:Shape = new Shape();
my_shape.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x00FF00, 1);
addChild(my_shape);
[Code]....
I'm wanting to animate the line moving so would like to clear the previous drawing before redrawing the lines.

In the following code, I create 12 buttons, label them, and control their onRollOver,onRollOut, and onRelease actions. Everything is working fine except for the line containing the "slideTo" method. Reading from the two arrays for the x and y values, it appears to be inserting the largest number in each array instead of stepping through all 12 values. Currently, clicking on any of the buttons moves the object (ralphMC) to x=100 and y=800. I am pretty stumped about this, as I've inserted quite a few various numbers into each array during testing. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?slideTo is part of the mcTween package, in case anyone wanted to know. code follows:
Code:
//Creates an array of numbers that will evenly space the buttons out vertically
var mcPosY:Array = new Array();

I've followed this tutorial and made a functional photo gallery.
Now, I want to add that photo gallery on my site. I've created a flash button and assigned it this action:
Code:
on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie("Pictures.swf");
}
"contents" is the container movie clip, and "Pictures.swf" is photo gallery i've made. Now, when i click on button, Pictures.swf does load (arrows are being shown), but when i click on them, nothing happens.

I have a component that contains 4 layers: (in ascending depth order) bgImage:Sprite, dropZone:Sprite, dropMask:Sprite and line:Sprite. The bgImage is at 0,0, and the other objects are placed at various positive coordinates. dropMask is masking dropZone.At the point of bitmap capture I want to only draw from the dropZone and dropMask layers, so I'm trying this:
removeChild(bgImage);
removeChild(line);
var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(dropMask.width,dropMask.height,true,0);
bmd.draw(this,null,null,null,dropMask.getBounds(this));
Despite the dropMask being located at 50,60 the capture always starts from 0,0. I've also tried getting the boundary rectangle and forcing the x,y, but it makes no difference. should I just forget clipRect and use a matrix instead?

I'm new to AS3 and have been making a Snake game. I've come up with a problem with the code (Yes, I have magically created problems trying to program Snake...It's going to be a long day). My problem is, with removeChild...I'm getting strange errors being throw at me. Not only that, but my Movieclip (myFood) is not being removed entirely, only the visuals of it are.
That being said, here is, what I believe to be, the most important chunk of code for this problem, along with the error it gives me.
Code:
/*
* Code for the Snake and whatnot extras.
* Also, Snake and Food are classes.
*/
var myFood:Food = new Food();
stage.addChild(myFood);
function snakeEatFood() {

I've been developing an AS3 based 2D fighting game engine (like Street Fighter II), and have run into an issue. I'm using if/else statements in my onEnterFrame function to hit test my fighters. This works great in my first if/else statement, but for some reason it doesn't recognize my second if/else statement that follows the first. I know it's not the code, because if I bring the second if/else statement up and place it above the first statement (simply swapping the order), the hit test is successful. Why is it that only the if/else statement that comes first works, but any that come after it don't?
Here's my code:
function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
//MOVE THE char1
PlayerBase.players[0].x += plyr1vx;
PlayerBase.players[1].x += plyr2vx;
[Code] .....
I've also attached a .zip file with my published files so you can see the issue in the game (must be viewed in a browser for keys to work correctly). Move the left player using "A" and "D" keys. Make him punch with "Z" and kick with "X". Punch is the first if statement in my code, and kick is the second if statement (not working).

I have this streaming video player with an asyncErrorHandler function which isn't working correctly.In Flash player 10 I get no errors, but in Flash player 9 I'll get a popup window with the error message that shows up in my output window when I test on my local machine.
Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095: flash.net.NetConnection was unable to invoke callback onBWDone. error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property onBWDone not found on src.display.VideoClass and there is no default value.
I feel that I have my AsyncErrorEvent setup correctly however, but am unsure as to why I still get a massive error in my output window, here is the popup window and code below:My statusEventHandler function

function statusEventHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {

If they get a question wrong in my quiz ( weakest link) the money clip goes to zero and it goes onto the next question. If they get it right the money clip advances and they go onto the next question. I want to include each time that it should only go onto the next question if all questions have been asked. SO i want an extra if clause in both sections, saying if current question is more than 11 go to '#game over"The questions are saved in the frame of the quiz
_root.qArray = new Array("question: A;B;C;D")
_root.qArray.push("Question?:A;B; C; D")
There are 11 questions.At the moment at the section with choosing answers I have
function selectAnswer(n) {

I'm trying to make a simple slideshow that ends with the option to click and enlarge each image. Clearly, I'm a complete n00b at this and know nothing about coding.
Here's what I've done:Created the slideshow. It works. Created a thumbnail of each picture and made it into a button (btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4) with the same instance names, each on their own layer. Created an Actions layer with the following code:
stop();
function rollOverFunction(evt:MouseEvent) {
play();

The code was working fine until I added the second button...now I get the error above.

I have a series of MC's (ultimately about 55) which I'm performing some actions on when a user hovers over the MC.
Code:
var items:Array = [
UnitedStates,
Brazil,
[Code].....
All my variables and paths test correctly; but, when I test the swf, if I hover over _level0.item_0, _level0.item_2 is the MC that received the actions. As I add more MC's, it's always the last MC that receives the behavior. To clarify though, the _visibility and _alpha values do set themselves for all of the MC's. It's just when a user hovers over _0 and _1 that nothing happens to the clip being hovered and _2 receives the order to execute the tween.

I have been building my website using a simple mouse event click system that makes movie clips play at specifically names keyframes. it took me a bit, but I got it right and the code was simple. here is an example of the code that works:
films.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver1);
function btnOver1(event:MouseEvent):void{
sketch_5.gotoAndPlay("f_over");
}
Pretty simple stuff. but now I am working on a paid project for someone, and it is a bit more complicated in scope, but essentially I would be using the same code over and over again. it's a glorified slide show. but I ran into a problem. I used this code, which is the same (with different names and mouse event) as the one above.
mcLifeLED.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Light_Type);
Function Light_Type(event.MouseEvent):void{
mlights.gotoAndPlay("p_life");
}
Its telling me that "Function Light_Type(event.MouseEvent):void" is wrong with this message "1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute Function, not Light_Type." I may be wrong, but from what I can read in it, it's telling me that the function I named about "Light_Type" can't be found...
