I'm currently learning AS3 to develop my own game but my previous experience in game development is with LUA script. Within Lua script, you can write/script objects with different statuses with IF statements. For an example,
[Code]....
well i had a tree menu which contain about 15 and under each of it about 3 or four sub the problem is when i press one of the sub it should gives specific status and when i press anther button from anywhere ,the 1st button should B initialized as it was i made to var to dedicate which i 've jst pressed.[code]
View 3 RepliesWhat is the correct syntax to calculate an XML object's loading status and relay the value to a movieclip? I'm using the following, but nothing's happening. The math is being loaded but the movieClip doesn't change size.
xmlLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, barProgress);
function barProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var loaded:Number=event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal;
barPro.scaleX=loaded;
}
My barPro movieclip remains the same size.rong?
When the yellow_btn is clicked the function explosion is executed. This function displays an object called spark on the stage and makes visible a video clip called house_mc which was previously hidden.
I use a tween to fade the house video into view gradually as it plays and that brings me to my dilemma. When I start this tween I want the spark object to disappear from the stage. To do this I assigned a variable name of endit to my tween and am adding an Event Listener to endit to determine when the tween starts, at which point I want to execute the function stopSpark and remove the spark image from the stage. The code doesn't give me an error but the spark continues to display during and after the video has finished.
yellow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,explo sion);
function explosion(e:MouseEvent):void
{
addChild(spark)

I am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user I want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function. This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.
Here is my code I have so far:
//shared object - cookie
newUser_test = SharedObject.getLocal("newUser");
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "new user";
newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {
newUser.text = "new user";
} newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "previous user";
newUser_test.flush();
}
I made a little flash presentation where a bulb increases in brightness as the mouse goes over it and decreases as the mouse goes out. I set up the object on the stage and created a motion tween equal to 30 frames in which the object starts dull and increases in brightness. To control it, I made this little script:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startScan);
mcBulbLit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, startShow);
function startShow(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(31);
} function startScan(event:Event):void {
[Code] .....
For some reason the bulb only goes back one frame and then stops at that frame.
I have problems in my flash project.

View 9 RepliesI am connecting to a Java game server via an XMLSocket and serving the crossdomain.xml policy file via loadPolicyFile(). The problem is, the thing either works, or it doesn't Is there any way I can get any status information back from loadPolicyFile() ?file didn't load, file is invalid, anything. Is there a way to attach an onLoad handler to this? The documentation claims that this thing will wait for a response before it attempts any connections.

View 1 RepliesThe goal is using JS from FLASH to communicate with the status bar, so when flash nav buttons(mc) are active they send a text description to the status bar, like the title attribute in an anchor link. How would this be done?
View 7 RepliesI'm somewhat ashamed I don't know the solution to this problem of mine. This is easy stuff. Anyways can anyone tell me the best way to retrieve the property of the current frame of an MC in a flash movie which may be stopped at frame 10, frame 20, etc? As in, if mc1 is stopped at frame 20, then gotoAndPlay frame 21 of mc1 once buttons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are pressed
ActionScript that retrieves the property of a frame in an MC's timeline which the MC is stopped at, that's all. I'd be reading more about a solution online and in my books but I'm pretty pressed on time right now. All I can think of is using true/false statements as a substitute for this missing, maybe nonexistent code for "get frame property" (if frame stopped at 20 big= true.... if true then play frame 21 once these buttons are pressed.. but not if big = false )
I somehow haven't dabbled much with if/else, true/false statements.
I can create buttons using flash. and i have change buttons colors when the mouse over status of the button. but the problem is i cant set the status of the button.as a example in above site if the user click the FAN Club button button will change in to a different color ( ash rectangle).

I want to create a XML file that I can change for different languages. It contains the names of the fields that have text and the text that they should be changed to: eg. <lang name="titleLabel" value="This is the app title" />. I can read in the XML lines into an array but I can't figure out how to use the name as an object name:

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to do a cross-fade effect for my gallery. To do that, I'm using two movieclips, one that holds the image currently displayed, and another one that holds the image that should be displayed next. When the coming image is loaded, the cross-fade effect should happen, the container that holds the image that was on stage should be cleared out, then the image in the other container should be displaced to the former container. I'm almost there now, but I got stuck at the last part. Here's my code so far[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have an array newArray=["bird","dog","fish"] and I want to change colour of an object, so I use:
var myColor:ColorTransform = this[newArray[0]].transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0xFF0000;
this[newArray[0]].transform.colorTransform = myColor;
which causes an error. if I change the array to newArray=[bird,dog,fish] without the commas it works
var myColor:ColorTransform = [newArray[0].transform.colorTransform;
myColor.color = 0xFF0000;
newArray[0].transform.colorTransform = myColor;
Why can't it read the string, I don't really want to create a new array without the commas
I am feeding a player from xml, and I'm not able to get the track to change.
ActionScript Code:
private var _currentTrackNum:int;
public var playlistdata:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var locationarray:Array = new Array();
[code]....
The previous track function is basically the same. It does nothing, however. I can trace out _currentTrackNum and see that changing, but the song playing stays the same, even if i stop and start again, or build the stopping and starting into the function. BUT. I can change the value of currentTrackNum at the outset and it wil effect which song plays.. !?
I'm thinking maybe there is some kind of sound.unload function I need to try, but am quite confused as to why it doesn't work. The locationarray.length is coming out as 0 for some reason I don't fully understand, so I disabled that 'if' statement for incrementing track number but that didn't help..
I need to know if it's possible, and if so, how, to change the tint of an object using actionscript. For instance, if one was to select a specific button, the actionscript in that button would tell the object, in this case the background, to change its tint.
View 2 RepliesWould anyone happen to know how to change attributes like .z, .rotationZ, rotationY etc on a created MovieClip/Sprite or whatever. Because when I create a new mc or sprite and try to change these attributes the object just disappeares.
