Flash won't let me access my functions or variables. And I can't figure out why. Do I have a syntax error?
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Base extends MovieClip {

I have these two functions which both happen on an onEnterFrame event;"basichittest" and "photo". They each work by themselves, but not together.I attached the fla file.I commented out lines 6-10 and line 58.I want the red dot "photodetector" to get brighter as the mirror slides to the right. I also want the beams of light to bounce back and forth when the drag happens.If I uncomment the offending code, the beams no longer bounce, but the dot behaves the way I want.

I attached the fla file

I have these little menu tags which move down when you roll over them. Then, if you click one, it stays down. Then the other menu tags move down when you roll over them, until you click one, at which point the previous tab moves back to original position. (I'm sure that makes little to no sense... so look here: [URL]. Anyway, it works great for the first couple of seconds, then after a while (especially after a click) some of the menu's don't return to their previous position. My fla is attached, but here is my script.
PHP Code:
//import classes
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

I have two functions that work individually, but not together because they're both onEnterFrame functions for the same mc (which is not possible).
Here's the code from the mc "A" class file:
Code:
function onEnterFrame(){
removeA();
connectT();
}
This works until the next function runs...
function removeA(){
if (this._x < 500){
removeMovieClip(this);
}} var strandID:Number
function connectT() {
[Code] .....
Explanation of code: mc "A" hits "strandT" and the two move together across the screen. Mc "A" needs to disappear when it hits x = 500.
How can I combine these two functions without any of them failing or interrupting each other.

I initially posted this in the AS3 NEWBY forum but I think it probably belongs here. On stage I have 5 boxes, the letter A and two buttons labelled button1 and button2. The letter A is also defined as a button labelled AA_btn. When I click on button1 I want a condition to be set so that if the letter A is clicked, boxes 2 and 4 will disappear. Conversly if I click on button2 I want boxes 1, 3 and 5 to disappear. To do this I have nested the letter A and B functions under the button1 and button2 functions.
I also have a reset button which resets the display of all five boxes back to their original display.Everything works fine when I press Button1 to set the first scenario. When I then click on the letter A boxes 2 and 4 disappear. (perfect). Everything also seems to work when I press the reset button, ie: all five boxes reappear.

I'm having a problem with PC applications. Notably, the keypress command no longer working when my app is fullscreen. It works just fine on Mac, but bugs out and doesnt recognize and of my KeyPress actions when fullscreen. When its not fullscreen, it works. I dont know what to do, as i need my apps to play fullscreen on both pc and mac.
View 1 RepliesI have a serious situation regarding the onRelease Funciton not working properly.I have a FVLplayback componant inside a flash project inside a movie clip. Inside that movie clip I have two layers, One for actionscript and and the other for the actual component which contains instance name of 'myPlayer' (without quotes)[code]That cameraRoll is the instance name of another movie clip I have located in the movie clip as shown in path above. Inside that movie I have rollover, Rollout effects. The actionscipt is in an invisible button right on top of the objects. The actionscript is:[code]The objective: the movieclip to carry out the rollover Rollout effect and to have the function that will start the video.The Problem: When I run the flash project, it does the effect but won't start the video. If i move things around, I can have the video start playing but then the button won't do the rollOver, RollOut effects.
-the path to the video component:-root.menu.video
-the path to the movie clip taht contains the timeframes for rollOver/rollOut effects )which contains invisible button on top of everything. root. menu.cameraRoll
i have a lil problem with making button functions to work on a mc within a mc...i have this on my outer mc:
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this.onRollOver = function() {

I'm putting together a pretty basic website/portfolio. The buttons/code that go from page to page work great. The code I'm using to access larger images from thumbnails is basically the same, however it's not working.I have the site setup so that each larger image is it's own separate page, so basically the thumbnails act as buttons to access a specifically labeled page. Ex- Thumbnail/button "Character1_btn" goes to the page labeled as "Character1" to display the larger image. I hope this makes sense.Below is the code I'm using. As I said- all functions but the character1 function are working properly.. I really need the character 1 function to work.Quote:
stop ();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playhom e);
function playhome(event:MouseEvent):void{

I have been up now for 30 hours trying to figure this out and my wife is complaining that my eyes are getting bloodshot. I've played with every variation of these codes as i could think of. Changed all the variable names, changed functions from GET to POST, removed the HTML to simplify the php... nothing works... what am i missing?
here's the essence of what i'm doing:

For some reason I can't get this nested set of functions to work, it executes the first tween and the tween invoked after motion of the first is finished but it doesn't ever get to the third!
ActionScript Code:
var t1:Tween=new Tween(p1,"rotationY",Strong.easeOut,90,0,50,false);
var t1x:Tween=new Tween(p1,"x",Strong.easeOut,-900,0,50,false);
t1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,onMotionFinished);

created a .swf that continously scrolls with a pause and play button with only actionscript. The file was too large so I created a preloader in a seperate file loading the .swf with loadClip, but the buttons on the .swf stopped working! What do I need to do to get the buttons working again? I'm completely baffled.

I have one function that for some reason, isn't calling the next function. I've been looking over this code all day and I feel like it's probably going to be something really small and stupid but I jsut really need help at this point. The function that isn't working is showUsers().
This is my code:
Code:
import fl.controls.*;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import fl.managers.StyleManager;

Im trying to understand alittle more about using external files.
In my flash actionscript window i basicly want to access a function that i wish to put in an external .as file ... but i just cant seem to get it..

i've got this movie clip. I've loaded a swf called "page1.swf" into a holder called "page1MC". This child movie DID have a button in it called "page1_buttonA" in it when I made it, but I can't get it to do anything once I've loaded it. I recently discovered you can trace movie clips, and the trace below is coming up undefined, which might explain why it's not working. Now, can anyone explain WHY it's coming up undefined?
The code for the entirety of this debacle is as follows:
stop();
//Create empty movie clip holder:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("page1MC",1);
page1MC._x =0;

I'm a mostly self-taught actionscript hatchet-artist, so there's a HUGE chance I'm missing something obvious because my knowledge is completely unstructured with large gaps where much foundational learning should be.
I'm loading an item to the stage and trying to apply a function to it but it doesn't seem to work.
Code:
_root.attachMovie("FullScreenBTN","FullScreenBTN",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.FullScreenBTN.onRelease = function(){
trace("test")
}
When I press the button nothing happens, but when I remove the attach code and just put the button on the stage with the appropriate instance name it does work.
I have a series of calculations i'm doing over a bunch of objects stored in a array. Each function is pretty CPU demanding but if you only run one function, it just works fine.

I've got a project thats getting a bit big, so Im taking the actionscript out into separate as files. I want all the basic functions to be in BasicFunctions.as and the make a library for more specific functions. I find that a lot of people use the import statement but I cant get that to work with a simple Hello World trace, yet the include statement works fine (see attached). I understand that import/include work differently, but which is the better method? If import, then is that heavier to work with. Any rate, what's the best way to organise code when it gets to the 1000+ lines?

I'm trying to find a way to have global functions in my as project, similar to how flash does with stuff like the util functions (describeType()...), where you can just call the function wherever you need it. For example:
[Code]...
So when I call Test(), it prints out "hello world" fine. My problem comes in that I can't change the name of the Test function, and I can't add any other functions without compiler errors. Is it possible to have a load of global functions in one file, or do I have to split them up into separate files like in the example? Also, I know that I can make a Global class and call static functions like Code: Global.doSomething() but I'd like to know if there's a way to do it as flash does it (describeType(), getDefinitionByName(), etc), or rather, how does flash do it?
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions?

I have one function that puts text in a text field and makes a button goto a url onRelease.The code is like this:
Code:
item.onRelease = function() {
myButton.onRelease = function() {
getURL("http://google.com", "_blank");
}
talk = this.txt;
}
the only problem is that the button doesn't work onRelease. i think that it is because there are too many functions there, but at the same time,
in this example why the values of (12) and (21,39) are lost at the geo and geo1 functions

Im adding lot of simple functions to prototypes of top level objects ( Object , Array , String ...) and have 2 questions :
Is possible to add functions to top level's classes in compile-time ?
If not , is there a way to allow this functions to compile ? I dont like to turn off strict mode
ex:
string.removeWhiteSpace();
string.sliceStr("." , "end");
textField.scrollBottom();
this return compile-time error , cause there is no such function , i have to write it in braces :
string["removeWhiteSpace"]();
string["sliceStr"]("." , "end");
textField["scrollBottom"]();
and i like to aviod it )
Is it not possible to call other functions from generic mouse event functions? Surely it is !!??ie....
Code:
_root.myButton.onPress = function(){
hide();

Functions embedded inside other functions? In all my years of ActionScript programming, I've never seen this (this is part of legacy code written by someone else which I am adapting):

Its a complicated senario for me. I have a sound management singleton with an asset like dictionary storing all referances to my urls and assets and the guff inside it-
I have a function called addItem(id:String, url:String):Object
I would love to do something similar as soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).play() or soundManager.addItem(id:String, url:String).stop() of which it'll both add my item to my dictionary, and begin playing the sound
