i have a flex app that transitions between 2 states with the toggle of a button. my issue is that the effect of fading only seems to work on the 2nd transition and after. However, for my first transition... going from State1 to studyState... there is no fade effect whatsoever, in fact the components in state1 disappear completely (the footer fills the empty gap where the "body" use to be) and then the flex recreates the studyState (without any fade refilling the "body" with components only in studyState). After this first transition however, going between studyState and State1 working COMPLETELY fine.. why does this happen and how can i make it so that crossfade works STARTING FROM THE VERY FIRST TRANSITION?[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a presentation using the "presentation" template that comes with flash.

View 2 Repliesa standard view and a "full screen" view...by default the standard view loads and there is a button to switch to full screen...when the standard view loads to begin with...the exhibitor list on the left works fine with the booths in the floorplan....meaning when you click an exhibitor, the corresponding booth lights up...however, when you load the second swf...which loads to _level0 using the following cose loadMovie("standard-0.48.xml", _level0); the exhibitor list does not work quite the same...when I click on an exhibitor now, the color for the whole floorplan changes, and does not change back...and if you click the standard view button, it goes back to the standard view, but again when you click an exhibitor, the color of the whole plan changes...any idea how to fix this?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a page transition that will play a movieCLip transition into a page. and then it stops then when another button is pressed, it will play that transition out while loading the appropriate one. In the attached FLA, if you click on the red button first, the blue transition plays,
--red button code--
mybutton1.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play();
}
and then stops on the stage. When you click the green button second,
--green button code --
mybutton2.onRelease=function(){
_root.transitionClip.play("out");
_root.transitionClip2.play();
}
it works correctly/ Playing out of the blue Transition and into the Red transition. However if I click it again it does the opposite, and just keep alternating.
If I add the
_root.transitionClip2.play("out");
to the first button then, nothing works right. I will eventually have more buttons, and may need to use a variable to control which "out" transitions is played, but how do I get the buttons to do this?I just want it to exit the current movie clip and play the "in" section of the desired clip.
Im having a small problem with a 2d array Ive been coding for sometime now previous to actionscript Ive programmed in Java and Ive always accessed 2d array elements in the following way
Myarray[column][row]
Column before Row
X before Y
Width before Height
Im working on a project where I want to pre declare array elements something I haven't had the need to do before and Im using the following syntax to achieve this
var myarray:Array = [[0,1,0],
[1,1,1],
[0,0,0]];
Im writing it this way so that its clear how the information will be seen on screen as the 1's in the array will be converted to images the 0' denote a absence of an image.The problem Ive got is in order to access these elements I have to write Myarray[row][column] And I would much prefer to access it column first Myarray[column][row] as its what im used to and its too head banging to change over.Is there anyway to declare the array how i am doing now ie
c c c
var myarray:Array = [ r [0,1,0],
r [1,1,1],
r [0,0,0]];
And then twist the array something like this (note! not code syntax just a visual representation)
c c c
[0 [1 [0 r
1 1 1 r
0] 0] 0] r
Is there a method in as3 to achieve this or does anybody know of any short simple code to do it with
I don't really know how to describe this problem but I'm going to give it a try. I am working in Flash cs3 using as3. I have a project with 5 scenes and button nav to jump between them. When I test the project scene 1-4 play fine however when I get to scene 5 the playback head doesn't move, it just stays parked on frame 1 (button nav works, animation does not). When I re-arrange the stacking order of my scenes the same problem will occur in a different scene that had previously played fine. This issue only occurs when i test the whole movie - if I test any scene by itself it plays fine. I am not getting any AS errors which adds to the frustration

View 5 RepliesThere's a lot of talk of how the new Event Flow makes for easier communication between classes.This sounds swell,but nowhere is it properly explained. Every example I find concerns dispatching events within the same class or looped through a customEvent, but I need a way to tap into this Event Flow for backward communication.I have a mainGUI document class that distributes my application subclasses.How do I set up a listener within mainGUI that gathers certain events from any of its children or grand-children? And how can I use this line to post object properties?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash MX (2002) and I need to get my variable values saved to a server each time my test subjects run and finish my swf/fla (PHP scripts and a .txt file on the server are being worked on, but that's a different nightmare!). I'm pretty sure I should use LoadVars, NOT SharedObject for this data capture right?. The data must not be overwritten each time over the course of a few months of data collection.
The 3 variables are: username (name of the user), counter (this keeps track of which version the user chooses from the start menu), numcorrect (keeps track of the number of times the <right> arrow key is pressed).
I don't know where to put in the LoadVars obj (in the AS code of "finaldisplay" frame?) AND I don't know how to build/format the LoadVars object to capture the data in the 3 variables I listed above.
find out where the play head is?

if(_root.movie.currentPlayHeadPosition == 1) doSomething();

View 2 RepliesBy far the weirdest thing I've ever seen. On some machines (!) IE (!!) attempts to load an SWF file via HEAD request instead of GET. This happens only when the page is running in Facebook IFRAME application - when running solo works fine. Naturally, on FF and Chrome everything works just fine. The SWF is embedded using jSWFObject. There's no visible common feature to the machines which experience this problem - laptops, desktops, XP, Vista, 7.
View 1 RepliesI would like to construct a RegExp/Actionscript3 statement/routine that will do the following:

Been creating a scroll bar for images. the issue is i cant seem to get sensible stop parameters for the ends of the scroll and scroll bar button. my formulae just wont tie in with the positions at extreme left and right of content/button movement.
The number of images scrolled in the scroller is set by a txt file and is currently at 16, but this is to be changeable. that bit is not an issue, just the scroll parameters. Oh and the Images are in an "images" folder - surprisingly!

anyone can offer me a way of housing an XML return in a seperate object, so that the flash movie in question doesn't hang around waiting for the feed to come back.The problem is we have an asp app which is returning the status of about 1000 citrix terminals at once.... while this only takes 10-15 seconds to return, any kind of animated loader i build into the movie, stops playing while flash holds on the XML return, as the http response status never responds dead, but says "waiting" instead.Any kind of way of adding the XML load script as an object listener maybe...?
