Lets say i want to have a communication console for my game user, to communicate to them what is happeiong in terms of their game, particularly, anything that i have traced in my code? is it possible to have these traces output as dynamic text that opens up in another window, adjacent and smaller to the swf that has the game?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone knows of a way to get the output panel in flash or the console panel in flex builder or flash builder, to format the "traces" with html or any thing else? for example:
trace( <b>brett</b> ); and to get that to appear in bold in the console window or the output window?
If there's a way to disable the Output panel in Flash? I've tried turning off most of the Warnings section in the prefs, but apparently that doesn't affect the Output panel.

for debugging I use trace commands to keep track of what happens, but this is super annoying when trying to run the application in the background as the output window keeps popping up thus obscuring everything else on the screen. Is there a way to prevent the output from popping up like that? Some setting in the publish menu or other?
I am trying to save information that I have displaying in my output panel to a .txt fille. I have tried this tutorial here: [URL] but it is not working for me.
I have the output panel displaying information such as:

I have a play and mute/unmute MC in a timeline instanced as "btn_playMute." The movie clip contains two frames. Each frame contains a button and some AS3. Here's the goal: When the flash loads, a video starts playing with the volume turned all the way down. This video continues, and loops when it gets to the end, ensuring that the volume is all the way down. I'm doing this as such:
HTML Code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
videoPlayer.volume = 0;
videoPlayer.source = "dieSort.f4v";
videoPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE,rewindAndMute);
function rewindAndMute(videoEventObject:VideoEvent):void {
[Code] .....
The problem is that when I click the button the first time, which restarts the video with the volume up, I get the following error in the Output panel:
HTML Code:
Play Button Clicked
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at Semigen_fla::btn_playMute_1/frame2()[Semigen_fla.btn_playMute_1::frame2:3]
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at Semigen_fla::btn_playMute_1/playHandler()[Semigen_fla.btn_playMute_1::frame1:9]
Any reason why my control MC is not changing states properly from "rewind and unmute" to "mute"?
I'm just beginning to learn AS3 and I've been reading Colin Moock's Essential ActionScript 3.0.(I've been doing some exercises on how to randomly choose elements from arrays). All of the book's example codes that I've tried so far (in FLASH CS5) seem to work pretty well. But I'm having a bit of problem with the example code below which is found in chapter 11 (Arrays):
var row1:Array = [6, 2.99]; // Quantity 6, Price 2.99
var row2:Array = [4, 9.99]; // Quantity 4, Price 9.99
var row3:Array = [1, 59.99]; // Quantity 1, Price 59.99[code]....
When I test the movie the output panel displays NaN instead of 117.89.
I'm getting the geolocation data of a viewer and creating a textfield to display this data (city,state). After the data is pulled the text is measured to fit in the textbox and if the length of the city is too long, the text is adjusted in size to fill the textfield. When I trace the end result of the final text size, I keep getting the (same) trace result outputted infinitely.
[Code]...
It worked, but I needed the text box to be made according to what data was pulled from the geolocation xml, so I added it in the geolocation script.
So I'm trying my hands on some full browser flash and after reading a couple of tuts I wrote this
Code:
#include "mc_tween2.as"
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
stageListener = new Object();[code]...
The trace's are because it didn't work like I thought it would.Etc the middle movieclip didn't center itself but rather positioned itself seemingly how it pleased so I traced its x position and the var stageXcenter position and like suspected it shows different values.

im using PHP with MySQL to send information to my flash file using GETs.Using FlashVars i have managed to get the users 'id' with this i can send my questions/searches to a PHP script which access the database and returns the information to the html page.What i would like to do now is add the information sent back to the html page to a variable inside flash for example:
var usr_name = get_user_name(id) || 'Unknown'; // "Unknown" should just be for offline use.
but this just returns 'Unknown' this is the function used:
public function get_user_name(usr_id){
loadData('search.php',"quest=name",'usr_id='+usr_id);
}[code]......
If i just type the URL into a web browser i get the name outputed.
I am building a flash site in AS3 using AMFPHP. I could really use some help in the Event department...The structure of the site is as follows:
Documentclass,
adds PageConveyer (which holds all Pages)
- adds addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onPageConveyerComplete ), onPageConveyerComplete:
- startAnimation (loop through pages and components in arrays to animate into screen)[code].....
The problem lies in the Event listeners.I want to make sure everything (pages/components) is loaded before I start animating. My guess was that Flash listens to the underlying objects until they are done running, then fires the Event.COMPLETE event to the parent object, which in turn fires it's own COMPLETE event. These events never seem to get fired (since i traced the onComplete functions). Im lost here. How can I best listen to this many objects within objects, to know for sure whether they are finished and ready to be animated in?
I built a flash file( acitonscript3.0),then I added "trace(1);"in the first frame.If I save this file in root of disk ,like C:,when I presse "Ctral+Enter",Nothing in the panel.But if I save this file in a folder like C: est ,when I press "Ctral+Enter",I cant see "1" in the output panel.
View 1 RepliesThis may have been asked alot. but all the things i found on google led me nowhere except confusion. the code i have so far is attached, but i can't seem to get the message outputted properly. Also, the x.text needs to be replaced with the textfield, but i'd like if that could be a var too, so i can use different textfields. All my textfields are in the timeline "messageBar" on layer "Text", this timeline lies on(under?) the main timeline. if you need more information, feel free to ask.

I want to create a panel docking to a pop up panel in my flex app, like Winamp's playlist window can dock to main window. but I didn't find any useful on docking in flex

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) {
// correct
if (answers[n] == correctAnswer) {

i am currently trying to learn ZendAMF, but i have a hard time troubleshooting which makes learning it quite hard. Is there a way to make the PHP file throw an exception that gets traced as an error message in AS3 (not Flex), the only error i seem to be able to get is "Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.Failed", but it tells me jack ****.
i have gotten ZendAMF working, i just want to know how i can make error handling better, so that as an example can use PHP to tell flash that no results were found, or that the typed text was invalid. Is it better to use AS3 to check if the field was filled properly?
I'm quite new to AS3 (coming from php/c#) and like it very much. My problem: trace doesn't output anything in the Output window anymore?!
