View 9 RepliesI'm using AS 3.0, and I'm trying to change the frames inside a specific object's timeline.The change will be triggered by keyboard events, but I don't know whether to add the eventlistener to the stage or to this. Also, it doesn't seem to be responding to anytime I use a gotoAndStart() or gotoAndStop() it just ignores it completely. Is it calling the stage's timeline when I call this? It also doesn't help when i add this.gotoAndStart() or this.gotoAndStop(), so how do you change the frames outside of the main timeline?

View 5 RepliesI am having trouble manipulating instances of xml loaded pictures. I want to change their x and y position and tween them etc. I have loaded them onto the stage from an xml file, and given them all individual names but the most I can do now is either move them all together, spread them evenly on an x or y axis, or remove one of them using getChildByName. What I can't do is what I want to do, which is place 20 or so images in an exact place, ie. a square.My main difficulty seems to be that I don't know how to reference an individual xml node and move it.

View 3 RepliesI'm working on an application where I'm drawing some rectangles on the screen, and then will need to manipulate the shapes (change their size, location). I tried to do something with .drawRect and clearing the shape each time I was manipulating it, but the RAM usage was spiking and then falling (presumeably because i keep reinitializing a new component and then removing it, and garbage collection was cleaning it out). This seems like its probably not the most efficient way to do it.
Is there a way for me to just create a shape once, and then move it around on a canvas (and change its width and height without all this RAM usage?
I have a flash map of the UK which is divided up into the counties, a user clicks on a county and is then directed to a new url, eg. [url].... The flash map remains on that new page in case they wish to select a new region.
What I want to know: is it possible to manipulate the flash so that if the [url]...then london remains highlighted on the flash map. I presume I will have to use some AS which is fine as long as it is AS3.
I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.
I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:
package sandbox {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully. However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.
What are the inbuilt functions available in flex,actionscript that I can use to find a node with a specific name inside xml variable and what functions could help me manipulate it? Something like Xquery in SQL! I dont want to use for loop everytime I want to manipulate a xml variable. For example, if I want to "cut" node inside this xml and add another attribute to it named enabled pro grammatically. Or how could I find "Find Next" node and delete it?
<menuitem label="Edit">
<m label="Cut"/>
<m label="Copy"/>

I am trying to create an interactive flash that users will be able to manipulate certain events in the game. I was was wondering if it was possible to1. Make objects appear or disappear in a frame if a variable is set to a particular number.n example being a window, if you click on it, it opens and closes if clicked on again. If you open the window and go to a different frame, is there a way to make it be open when you go back? 2. Determine the next frame. An example being a door, if the variable is 1 then the door would open when clicked, to the next frame. If it is 0 then it would tell you you need a key or such.I wrapped my head around creating variables and manipulating variables using basic functions.The only thing I am having problems with is if there is an "if"chieve these two tasks.Edit: Figured out number 2:'blueButton' is the variable, when pressed it changes its stored number by two. I linked it to another button which this code is attached to...
PHP Code:
on (release) {
if (_root.blueButton == 2) {

I have a movieclip (instance name preload), inside of it, I have another movieclip (bar) ... what i'm trying to do is a preloader for external files... i have a custom class and i what to manipulate my movieclip preload from it... you know verify the progress of the load:
Inside my class a have this function
public function loadProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void { percent=e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal*100; rutaDos.preload.bar.scaleX=percent;
}
rutaDos is a reference to the stage... it works, I'm sure of it... the problem is:rutaDos.preload.bar.scaleX; I upload the files but it doesn't verify the progress of the load.

I wanted the animation to not roll back once i click on a certain button and i wanted the animation to go back once i click on a different button. My question is, how do i proceed from here, i searched online for clues and from what i understood i could set variables within the class and change them on the timeline and use event listeners to catch the changes. I tried doing that but i always end up with some redundant way that gets me nowhere...

View 0 RepliesI am banging my head bloody here. I have this webservice to wich i have to post an XML scheme in order to get a result back. The XML is supposed to be formatted like illustrated in the fla file Now, when i construct this XML in Flash i can trace out properties from that, for example:
trace(wsRequestXmlBody.children().children().child ren().children()[2].text()); // traces passord.
But what i want to do is change for instance the value of that node to a dynamic value. I can manage to add a node to the XML by doing:
var testvariabel:String = "mytest"
wsRequestXmlBody.insertChildAfter(wsRequestXmlBody .children(), <test>{testvariabel}</test>);
But i just cant manage to manipulate the nodes further into the XML structure, or change their values. What i wish to do is for instance change the value of the tag <password></password> and assign my own dynamic value there.
Also, when i use the namespacing shown in the fla, it sort of strips the first tag of the original XML structure (the Envelope tag), i would like to preserve all the tags in the structure, and simply be able to change the value of some of them. I guess it has to do with the namespace structure, but i�m not good att understanding namespacing.
