ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweaking A Function To Be Triggered On Timeline?
Nov 16, 2010
What I want to do is take the basic functionality of this tutorial (card flipping) and trigger that action on the timeline to create an animated movie rather than something that a user with a mouse interacts with.flashandmath {dot} com/flashcs4/flip/index.html(the forum won't let me directly reference the tutorial I'm working with because i'm a new member)The tutorial uses a custom class, I'm guessing that i need to remove the eventListeners for the mouse events and call one of the functions on the timeline specific to the variables on the scene, like "card1.initApp();" ?
I am making component with text field in it and I want to call some function on the onChanged event that trigger another function.
In case I define onChanged event on the following way everything is ok my_TextField.onChanged = function () {.....} but if I use listenerObject, function inside another function is not triggered.
I have created different buttons on different movieclip. Then i assigned onPress event on each buttons. But the function of onPress event is not triggered. The arrangement of movieclips is following.
var mainMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainMC",0); mainMC._alpha = 0; var adImgMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("adImgMC",0); var offerMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerMC",1); var offerList:MovieClip = offerMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerList",0); [Code] .....
I have created an event as follows: offerList.onRollOver = function(){ offerList.stopTween(); clearInterval(autoScrlTimer); } offerList.onRollOut = function(){ duration = 0; autoScrlTimer = setInterval(automaticScroll,duration); ovrFlag = true } I doubt that the onPress event is not working because of the above piece of code.
How can I get a function triggered by multiple triggers? For example, a function that is normally triggered by a condition but also needs to be executable independently with a mouse click.
The idea is that the function 'startDrawing' only has to execute when I click on the mc 'myMC' which contains a (filled) square, a sort of a drawingboard. However, it also executes when I click anywhere else in my movie.
In _root exists function "path=load_Path()" which is triggered when an button is pressed. The result of this function can be "photos/folder1/image.jpg" or "folder1/textpage/" or any other path. What I'm trying to find out is how to get value of "path" automatically when it's changed or get callback whenever function "load_Path()" is triggered.
I don't have possibility to access this function because it's in _root SWF which I can't edit.reply.
i have actionscripted a movie which plays a function on export. i.e home() in the first frame. in that function i attach a movieclip which contains a background image of about 200kb. How would i preload that once it is attached to the stage in the function?
I am working on a presentation that has multiple scenes each having say 100 frames. Every 10 frames there is content on the stage, i.e. a 'slide'. There are left and right arrow buttons to take the user of the presentation forward and backward - much like a powerpoint presentation.Many of the 'slides' contain another button (instance name infoBTN) that can be rolled-over, and when this happens an info bubble pops up to display some information in the form of a graphic (instance name infoBubble).This operation works fine for one button, but I don't really want to have to call a new function and variable name and have new instance names on each subsequent frame that features a similar button with an identical operation.
how can I call the function just once and re-use it over and over again? There will only ever be one button of this nature on a given frame,This is the working code I have on the timeline for this particular frame:
Code: // INFO BUTTON MOUSE EVENT var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(infoBubble, 'alpha', Regular.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.75, true);
Ok, I have 2 buttons on the stage. Each button does almost the same thing, so I want to create a single function, and each button calls that same function (we'll name that function "Navigate")... however, the function will need to end up doing something different dependant on which button was clicked.So, previously, in AS2, I would've added some code onto the buttons themselves with on(release) methods, like so:
Code: // Define the Navigate function function Navigate(myLabel){
Trying to migrate my way of thinking from AS2 to CS4/AS3. Ok, I have 2 buttons on the stage. Each button does almost the same thing, so I want to create a single function, and each button calls that same function (we'll name that function "Navigate")... however, the function will need to end up doing something different dependant on which button was clicked. So, previously, in AS2, I would've added some code onto the buttons themselves with on(release) methods (see CODE EXAMPLE 1) So, each button effectively calls the Navigate function, and passes a different frame label to the function. Now, I'm trying to recreate this functionality in AS3. As you all know, on(release) has been done away with (still don't know why), but we now have to use event handlers, so I'm trying to figure out a way to pass a different frame label argument to the Navigate function. Currently I can achieve that by using a switch statement to test which button was clicked, and act accordingly (see CODE EXAMPLE 2).
I have a bunch of event listeners that refer to different movieclips but trigger the same function.I have an if statement within this function that I need to trigger if the function is triggered by a specific movieclip.
You must use the new ColorTransform() constructor to create a ColorTransform object before you can call the methods of the ColorTransform object.
So does this mean every time I want to tweak the color transform, I have to create a new instance? If so, the setter properties seem pretty pointless and my tests are showing this is the case.
So if every render I want to cycle say the redOffset based on time (to get a pulsing effect), do I have to manually create a new ColorTransform passing all constructor args from this.transform.colorTransform:
var newRedOffset:Number = ... transform.colorTransform = new ColorTransform( transform.colorTransform.redMultiplier, transform.colorTransform.greenMultiplier,
My main .swf file is 3 frames with the preloader residing in frame 1. I'm trying to get my preloader to skip frame 2 and jump straight to frame 3 if it's already cached... otherwise, go to and stop at frame 2 if it has not.
Why would I want it to do that? I have a little movie clip on frame 2 that lets the user know that loading is complete but I'm noticing it's always popping up everytime the movie is run -- I only want that movie clip on frame 2 to appear when it's loaded for the very first time. I've been using this code so far:
[Code]...
I'm guessing my problem is that it'll never skip frame 2 and always go to frame 2 followed by 3 regardless because both arguments eventually reach a fully loaded state. I thought about using somekind of loop but not exactly sure how that would solve things.
I had some code for a preloader that showed a % and stretched a bar.i wanted to modify it to instead go to frame 1 through 100 (based on % loaded) of movieclip "prloader" using the integer from "frmcounter" as the frame number.doesn't work!
I'm working on a website. It's really a basic portfolio-site containing a profile, some news and a few photogalleries. The idea is to load images and text onto the pages of an open book: however I don't want a "flat" image of a book with straight angels and straight lines: I want to have a real picture of my grandpa reading from a book.
Perspective:- Is it possible to "tweak" or disort a movieclip to simulate 3d? The pages will most probably be slightly curved, and the book might not be held 100% horizontal.
Text:- What about dynamic text? Can it be tweaked like this?
Images:- Is it possible to get a good result tweaking pictures?
- How huge does a image covering most screen sizes need to be?
I followed a tutorial from actionscript.org , the tricky part is that i wanted to change the Kb to a % display and it's messing up.Here's the previous code [AS]lastFrame = 1;
function loadedIndicatorFrame() { var newFrame = int((_parent.getBytesLoaded() / _parent.getBytesTotal()) * 65) + 2; if (newFrame - lastFrame > 4) { //too far
I have these particle system files, it actually does what I want. It makes circles come from a center point and have them expand out of the screen. However I have a couple of questions regarding those files, I wanted to add and change a couple of things:
- I would like that the circles come out in different colors, red, green and blue in randomized order. - I would like to add a "fade out" option. Instead of having them grow out of the screen, have the option to have a defined circle size and when the circle reaches that size it fades out. Or something easier that works just the same, basically have it fade out. - Have the circles blurred a bit. Possibly have the chance to control that too.
Then I would like to add some interactivity to the system. Basically have the circles move away from the mouse when the mouse rolls over or near that/those circle(s). Is that easy?
I am trying to replace some code which loaded an external image and triggered and function once completed with code that uses and embedded image. The relevant code looks like this.
Code:
[Embed(source='globe.png')] public function Globe() { var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
The commented out section is where it used to take the loaded image and apply it to a texturemap.I need to replace the lines of code in the first function with something that calls the second function correctly.
I have tried using function imageLoadComplete (e:Event = null)and calling it with imageLoadComplete(); in the first function but although it compile and runs without error, the program does not work properly. I suspect this is to do with the dispatchEvent(); line which I do not understand.
I have a billiard ball system, whic detects collisions between balls and modifies their x and y velocities accordingly.I have included a friction variable and I have a very basic system for applying the force of friction for each iteration of movement:
private static var FRICTION:Number = 0.94; public function move() : Void[code]....
This works to a reasonable level of satisfaction, but it doesn't quite feel right. The balls seem to take just a little too long to stop when they've slowed down to a very small velocity. I've tried tweaking the friction constasnt, but I still can't get sometthing that feels exactly right.
time-out feature on my timeline? I have certain spots in my timeline where i want a time-out to occur after 5 seconds of the user not clicking anywhere or doing anything. I am familiar with mouse-listener functions... but only used them for something that i was going to make time-out after an already pre-determined time...
I'm trying to access this function from another timeline. This function resides on the root level and I want to access it from a button within an MC on the main timeline. How can I do this?
I have a MC1 with a class that controls it on my timeline. Within this MC there is a second MC2 which contains a short animation. During that animation i need a trigger that will call a method from the class attached to the main MC. MC1 is linked to CLASSMC1 contains MC2(short animation)MC2 calls a function in CLASS
