ActionScript 3.0 :: Updating Screen Elements In A For Loop?
Aug 10, 2011
I have a for loop that, among other things, contains an appendText command. It adds a character to a text box on the screen.
I notice that rather than append the text on each iteration, it waits until the for loop has finished, and then appends all the characters.
It's not noticable on short loops, but very noticable on longer ones.
Is there a way to make flash update the text box as each iteration happens, rather than dump all the appended text at the end?

I was wondering if there's any way to loop an if statement so that it's constantly updated?
My code:
if(reel_mov.x==14){
l_button.visible=false;
} else{
l_button.visible=true;
}

I'd like to know where to look for documentation on how to make elements that adjust to the site resolution, or what this technique is called.
Like in here (the floating clip on the left upper corner, there is a menu divided into 2 parts like float:left and :right (like I would make this in css))
[URL]
Basically I'd need a menu always aligned to the bottom-center of the page that won't change the size, but the background always stretched proportionally to the width of the page upon resizing.

I try to use the following code to add elements in a screen . I try to bound the elements within the screen's dimensions but I can't because either the screen size reduces or they are out of bounds. How can I generate the elements within the screen without affection on the screen's size?
var screen:Mask = new Mask();
screen.y = 107;
screen.x = 76;
[Code]....
it doesn't make sense to me why the height changes and the width remains the same.

how this site: [URL] :was able to have the four corner elements know to always bounce themselves to the corners of the browser window or full screen. I've been able to do something similar on load, but not dynamically, resizing in real time. I have a client site I'm designing in which this functionality would be quite excellent, but can't seem to figure it out. I'm assuming this is being done in AS2, not AS3, because the html code is only calling the Flash 8 plug-in.

I'm attempting to put together a Flash site that fits the entire browser window no matter what the user sizes it to. I have searched here along with Google and can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I found a nice example on how to achieve it however it is missing one key aspect of what I need which has got me wondering whether or not what I'm looking to do is even possible.
My flash site has movie clips that will animate from off the stage on the right and bottom edges. What I want to have happen is in the browser window I want it to look like it comes from off-screen as well. So for example, you have a ball bounce in from off the right side of the screen into the center of the browser and then maybe it bounces down off the screen at the bottom of the browser.
The solution I have found fills the window and doesn't scale which is what I'm looking for, but any items that are off the stage in my Flash file will show in the browser if it is resized big enough. Here's the example I found[url]..

I need a video which has been embedded into Flash to stretch, regardless of aspect ratio.This video will then reveal some content which I don't want stretching at all.I've tried using the "exactFit" scaleMode property and tried to find a way of that only affecting the video and not everything in the swf, but I failed. I've also tried using Stage.width/height and applying it to the dimensions of the video but t

i have 2 arrays, a and b... in array a i have a bunch of random numbers.... now i want to loop through array a find which of the elements is the largest. for example if a[4] is the largest number in the a[] then i want b[1] = 4 and so on....
//array a full of random numbers:
a[1] = 4
a[2] = 3
a[3] = 1
[code]....
so if a[4] is the bigest, b[1] will have 4 and if a[1] is second biggest, b[2] will have 1 and so on... is there an algorithm that can do this for me with an array length of X?

Flex's new States re-parents visual items that are marked with includeIn/excludeFrom. If I have a Group (MainGroup) with 5 children/elements that are state controlled, is there still a way to get a reference to MainGroup's children? mainGroup.numChildren and mainGroup.numElements don't work since the children are re-parented. At best, they show 1.
<s:states>
<s:State name="view1State" />
<s:State name="view2State" />
<s:State name="view3State" />

I'm working with Flash Builder 4.5 on an Actionscript project. I've created the following classes:
package
{
public class ComplexNumber
{
[Code]....
but the code inside this loop generates the following run time error: "ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property 0 on ComplexArray." Thus, my code for "BXFN_complex[ii] = ~" is incorrect. Anyone know how to achieve what I'm trying to do? Basically, ComplexDivide.v1p0 returns two numbers, and BXFN_complex is an object containing two number arrays, and I want to assign the ComplexDivide two numbers into the ii'th element of arrays in BXFN_complex.

I've been developing Flash applications for several years, and here's something I've always wondered about.
I try to be as careful as possible about minimizing the amount of "overhead" that my application uses. (By overhead, I generally mean RAM, cpu processing effort, downloaded data, etc.) My goal is to consume as little of the user's PC resources as possible.

I circumstances matter - a few KB of "page weight" on Amazon.com or Twitter.com matter a lot more than on a site that gets a few hundred visitors a month. But in general, are there good tools to measure this type of thing?

does anyone know how to shift all the array elements by one or more without deleting the array itself?
Something like rotating the array:

I made a .as Class where some graphical elements are spawned into the stage. However, the Flash (.fla) have some internal graphics that are supposed to be over the graphical elements spawned from the custom class.I tried to make another layer over the layer where the as3 Class is being called, but unfortunately it doesn't do anything, the graphic from the .as still appearing over the internal .fla graphics.

I want my movie to loop. Would prefer an If/Else loop so that the movie plays a certain number of times then plays the opening of a screen then stops. This is a simple 4 screen ad I am doing for a school project. Can't get it to work. I tried containing my code in the proper loop syntax, didn't work. Then wrapping the loop in a function and calling that with a timer event, didn't work. My final solution was to call my whole movie in a timer event set to play once. Then calling the entire movie again in a second timer event set to play 20 times and set to start at an interval when the first movie ended. This did work but each time the movie plays thru function calls drop off making the movie degrade.

The problem that I'm facing is in regards to the width of a sliding menu that I've created. The menu slides based on mouse x position and width of the movie. I would like the menu to fit to the entire screen regardless of the users resolution. I wanted to know if there's a way to detect a users screen width and then adjust the variable for screen width within my actionscript .fla if necessary.

I'm new to Adobe Flash CS4. I'm making an animation of some fish underwater. I have 2 small fish motion tweened to follow a large fish from left to right. When I view the animation in full screen the small fish seem to be wiped off the screen at a certain point. The tween box continues to follow it's path but the symbol disappears. This only seems to happen with larger objects.
