Sometimes flash seems to execute two loops faster that one loop which contains all of the actions that the first two loops contain. Does flash cash processes so that repetitive processes are performed faster if they are performed back-to-back?

It's me back with my fighting game questions. Basically, in the frames of the animations, events are dispatched. When one is being dispatched, I dont want the other one's function to be performed...I'm probably making this alot more confusing than it is supposes to be... If you can just picture it, in a fighting game I dont want the enemy to take damage, while both he and the player are colliding and attacking (whichever one was attacking first). geez that was a ramble.[code]

I often have an function / action that is performed on a mouse event (say, MouseEvent.CLICK) that has to be moved to:
happen inside of an animation (at a given frame label) happen at an event (say, Event.COMPLETE)happen when another item is added to the stage or removed from the stage What is the best OOP way to encapsulate such activities so that I am not constantly rewriting my code?
By the way, I should also mention that this function also being moved from one display object to another, not the just event that it is listening for...
Is there anyway that I can override a rollOut function if an action is performed?
I have three mouse events:
a ROLL_OVER
a ROLL_OUT
a CLICK
Once the CLICK has taken place I want the movie clip to stop on the last frame. But because I have a ROLL_OUT Event it wants to continue to go back to that event when I roll out of the movie clip.
do I need an "if" statement here to override the rollOut function when I click?
When I double click to close the selection, the marquee vanishes instead of closing the selection. Yes, I double click on the starting point.Here's what the manual proclaims (step 4):
Draw a straight-edged selection area1 Select the Lasso tools Polygon Mode modifier in the options area of the Tools panel.2 Click to set the starting point.3 Position the pointer where you want the first line to end, and click. Continue setting end points for additional line segments.4 To close the selection area, double-click.
Is it possible to have an AIR application built in Flex run as process or receive intents? For example if I wanted to make a calendar and each time there was an event at a certain time, have the AIR up which isn't running in the foreground, pop-up and inform the user that "it's time". Can it be done with the current stable versions of both AIR and Flex SDK?
View 1 RepliesI have been working on a full flash website and am encountering a strange problem (or at least its strange to me).
I have the main shell of the site, which contains:The layoutNavigationA movieclip which pages are loaded into (external swf's)Some actionscript which streams in an MP3The controls for the background musicA piece of actionscript which loads an animated background (another external SWF)
I then have a series of pages in their own SWF's which get loaded into a movieclip within the shell when the user clicks the relevant button on the menu. Most of these pages contain:The panels for the content on that pageSome dynamic text areas for the text content on that pageSome actionscript which loads the content for that page from a couple of text files and populates the dynamic text areas Then there is a showreel, which has a menu and a customized FLVPlayback component to play audio and video tracks; the data for the menu and the tracks themselves are stored in XML files.
If I am using a connection over 2MBit: Initial preloader appears, shell loads, background music streams in nicely and then the content page is loaded in, panels animate in and the text content appears; all is well and its pretty quick.
If I throttle my bandwidth to below 2MBit (the main tests being done with the connection throttled to 1.5MBit), this happens: Initial preload appears, shell loads, background music streams in but takes a bit longer to start up, content page loads in, panels animate in and the content appears for about 2 seconds.
THEN the contents of the text areas disapears and the word "undefined" appears. So the content seems to be dropped. I've done some testing to identify the cause and if I comment out the code which streams in the background audio, the issue disapears and everything works fine, so it appears to be related to the audio. I will say, its not the most lightweight of sites; its quite graphically heavy (nothing too excessive though) and the background music is a 6MB MP3; the owner of the site is a movie composer so he has a lot of high quality streaming audio.
So I was wondering if anyone knows why this type of issue would occur, it seems strange that Flash would drop the content thats been loaded in, that background music would break the process.
We have a setup where we have one application that multiple clients use.For each client we setup a seperate vHost on the server so that each client has a FMSCore and FMSEdge process running for their application.We currently monitor the processes to see if there are any problems with them on our production servers, but we would like to know if theres a way where we can link each process to a particular client so that if one goes down we are able to record the effect and notify that client.

Is it possible to get somehow list of running applications/processes and, while running in background, check which process is active?
Additionally - if somehow, the answer was yes, is it possible to react for change of active window / application react just as if it was Event, or bind to it custom event (e.g. Event.SystemActiveAppChange)?
EDIT: Due to probable missunderstanding, I mean local applications - on your win/mac/linux machine - I would like to (in process of learning of language) track what apps I use the most, make a little graph maybe?
So, the point is: in AIR app, developed in FLEX, I would like to get/list all running applications/processes, as well as which one is active (on user's PC/Mac/Linux)
The question is about producing a learning package for users to improve their mathematical skills.One part of it is for times tables. So the user will enter their name and then a question will appear e.g. "What is 6 X 9?" The user then inputs their answer and the system will compare and process the input, storing the incorrect and correct responses and then giving a final score at the end.The question is to; identify the names of the likely variables and processes required for the system generation of a question and the subsequent processing of the user's response.(10 marks)Then it asks to write some pseudo-code to describe 10 consecutive question/response activities and their final results showing their name too. (15 marks)
View 4 RepliesI am working in a AI project: a Chatterbot and it works fine. I work in webdesign, video, 3D and illustration and this personal project eats my free time You should set the answers and questions in the XML file called "bdenglish.xml", it contains a basic example. The bot will understand the new nodes. Actionscript(FLA) processes the user input text and search for an answer in the XML file. The bot can understand several ways to make a question. Also it can memorise the conversation subject if you use XML propierties (It is unfinished) The user can use ENTER key or the SEND button. The bot can know the genre of the user because it is male like default, but it search in a female names list. The output field answer is HTML text, also it support images, animations or sounds. The bot can chat in several languages. You can synchronize video with the answers (bot expression), I am woking in a basic function with video.
I am workin in a alternative answer motor, it would work with the XML. I want to use lipsync in the future for a talking version. How it works? - The bot converts the XML database to an multidimensional array.- The user writes a question - This input is processed in the AS code - The bot searchs in the multidimensional array - The first word must be found - The bot answer the question or it responds something if the question is not found I am not programmer and the AS3 bot was hard for me, but it works. I was trying get a good code and I am work in a better search function. I hope some criticism and comment from Kirupa masters! It is in my personal site:[URL]

I have a Flash website with 3 interfaces( 3 frames with movie clips inside). they have a button that goes to different loaded .html page(text). But once the back button is pushed on the web browser, it always goes back to the first frame instead of the actual last page, which might have been frame 2 or 3.

I am working on a having external swfs get loaded into the main swf one by one from an array.I can get the first one to load, but it just keeps on playing the first item in the array over and over, instead of loading the next movie. I have a container on my stage, cleverly named "container" and I am using AS2 and loadMovie.
I am guessing my conditon on my if statement is off, but I am not sure how to tell the onEnterFrame to check the currentframe of the loaded swf and not the container itself. I might be way off, but in my mind I feel like this mostly makes sense, but knowing Flash it is probably not nearly enough coding.I might also add this won't be running on the web, so I don't need to worry about preloading swfs since it will be running directly off a PC onto a screen in our office.Here is my code:
Code:
var myClips:Array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf", "white_logo.swf"];
var i:Number = 0;
_root.container.onEnterFrame = function() {[code].....
I've got the standard scene 1 with three frames on it. the first frame has a movie clip with about a 70 frame timeline. the second frame has a movie clip with about a 20 frame timeline. the third frame is black with a stop action. i'm trying to make a leaderboard banner, and i need each clip to play one after the other.
right now, when ctrl+enter it plays nothing. i actually have to rewind it to have it play the first clip. then it just repeats the first clip and completely skips the second. in the first clip's timeline, I have a parent.gotoAndPlay(2); on the last frame.

View 1 Repliesi want to know how we can make back button in flash to go back to page same like browser back button.
View 1 RepliesIn my apps, i would like to:
1)have a pop-up menu when a button is touched, then ok to close but still in the same page as it is
2)invoke the popup menu by using samsung's "MENU keycode",then ok to return the same page as it is
3)having the user to swipe 5 images to view them, left image as 1st and 5th image as last image with smooth transitions
4)and also using the "BACK keycode" to go back to previous page
Why will this not work? I get back: "Welcome Back, DEFINED." The firstToUpper function will not run. I set the variable for Party already.
Players = firstToUpper(Party); function firstToUpper(word) { firstLetter = word.substring(1, 0); restOfWord = word.substring(1); return (firstLetter.toUpperCase()+restOfWord); trace("hey")}Hiusername.text = ("Welcome Back, " + Players);
basically this code will work like a browser back button its very simple but "could end up very long" basically it will act "similiar to the browser back button"
Code:
on (release) {
if(page1 = _currentframe){
_root.gotoAndStop("quiz");
} else if (page0 = _currentframe){
[code]....
it works when the (page1 = _currentframe){ is rotated with the first if statement...because for somereason it seems to not recognise the "else if's"
