ActionScript 3.0 :: Checking Against Multiple Asynchronous Conditions?
Feb 1, 2010
If I have one parent class that instantiates 5-10 different child classes, each of which need to load multiple assets etc, how can I check within that parent class to make sure all of the 5-10 children are loaded & ready to go before telling the program to continue?
The tricky part is that the exact number of those 5-10 classes that are instantiated is determined at runtime, so I can never be certain which I should be waiting on and which not to be waiting on. And just to be clear, these are different modules of sorts, not multiple instances of the same exact class.
In one of our project we are using flex for front end, blazeds/java in the backend. Its an existing code where services are prewritten. I have to make calls to 3 services in the backend (basically 3 remote objects) and get their result and store the result in an object and show the data of this object in a view. Now in front end we are using Flex and Parsley Framework. I was thinking of the following approaches.
1) Making commands for each service call and storing the result in a shared object (model) and then displaying this model in the view. In this approach the problem is some services are needed in some other web pages, but they donot need the same model. How should i handle this scenario ? Should i make a asynchronous remote call and fetch the result and then again dispatch and event with the event object storing the result.
2) Making a service call , wait for the result then make another call and wait for the result and then make other call, not sure if this is the right way ?
i have an if statement, an object will go to a new frame if multiple buttons are pressed
PHP Code:[code].....
now i want it so that if one condition is met the mc will goto frame 2, if 2 conditions are met, frame 3 and if 3 conditions are met, frame 4.i know i could do this with a lot of if statements but i have a lot of movie clips to use this code on, so is there any way to write an if statement that will trigger different options if multiple conditions are met?
I've created a simple drag n drop activitiy but there is a small problem. There is a repeat of a word within the activity (the words are the drag objects). Now I want the user to be able to drag the first instance of the word onto either drop target when it first appears. When the second instance appears I have told the expression to look to confirm the location of the first instance of the word (which target it sits within) and make the word snap back if the user drags the word onto a drop target where the first instance already sits - and allow it to snap to the drop target where the first instance does not appear. (I HOPE THIS MAKES SOME SENSE) - if it does not make sense, I have cut and paste the script below:
I'm developing a Flex application and am having some trouble working with asynchronous calls. This is what I would like to be able do:
[Bindable] var fooTypes : ArrayCollection(); for each (var fooType : FooType in getFooTypes()) { fooType.fooCount = getFooCountForType(fooType);[code]....
The issue I'm running into is that both getFooTypes and getFooCountForType are asynchronous calls to a web service. I understand how to populate fooTypes by setting a Responder and using ResultEvent, but how can I call another service using the result?
I've got two functions that work separately, but don't like to work together. Specifically, function "onEnterFrame" stops working after function "connectT."
function onEnterFrame(){ connectT(); checkBounds(); }
I have some code that needs to read like the following:IF the original position(origX) DOES NOT EQUAL where my object is(this._x) AND delay variable(delay) is set to 0, then I need to display a movieclip. There is an X on the movieclip so users can close it, and when they click the X, the delay variable is set back to 1, so the movieclip won't keep loading.
ActionScript Code: var delay = 1; if (origX == this._x && delay == 1) {
I want to set multiple conditions for an if statement, but I don't want the conditions to all have to be true, I want to say if (a or b or c or d, etc. is true) then do this. I don't want to say if (a && b && c && d, etc. is true). Is it possible to have an if statement with an "or" in the condition? If so, what's the proper syntax for that?

I am trying to filter xml data based on a varying amount of factors, both category and range (code below). Is it even possible to put more than one conditional statement in an XML filter?
I am trying to do a multiple if statement checking to determine which frame label within a MC (NE) and is located on frame 3 of the main timeline, to display. In the main timeline frame 1, I have declared a new var: var n_e; button1.onRelease = function (){ n_e1 = 1; main timeline go to and stop at frame 3 } [Code] ..... But it doesn't seem to work, and most of the time it lands up on Ne("2") instead...
I have a character that should move using standard WASD control. I've tried to implement that using a listener for the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN. However, it seems that what I get is:
1) Only one key at a time (ie I can't read both W AND A being pressed down at the same time) 2) When holding down first the events come in not every frame and later they come in every frame, ie, regularity of events relates to the system's sticky key.
What I would like is a solution where if I press the key W I continue moving to the left until the key is up. If I press multiple keys then I should move in the combined direction. What would be the best way to implement this? Do I need to listen to both KEY_DOWN and KEY_UP events and then use those as switch for movement? Is there a "good practice" way?
I got smooth movement/etc when I implemented both key_down and key_up. Essentially I made 4 booleans saying "move right/left/up/down" The boolean is set true by key_down event and false to key_up event. Movement itself is performed on enterFrame event based on how the booleans are set. Still wondering if there is a better way..
I would also like to figure out a way for the button i click to wait to play the movie clip after the anybtn movie clip is finished playing. Overall I am trying to achieve a menu that works similar to this [URL]. So that it will finish playing the first clip before loading the next.
How can I put multiple conditions into an IF block? I have tried the following and it doesnt work ;[AS]if(_root.neo.hitTest(_root.camera2)) & (camera2Off = true){[/AS] I have also tried two &'s but that doesnt work ether
Okay, here's the rub. I'm making a little maze game. In this maze game, I have walls. They link to a class called Wall.as. In order to collision detect with the player, I do this:
MovieClip(parent).checkCollisonWithPlayer(this); Where (parent) is a manager logic class. The parent does this public function checkCollisonWithPlayer(wall:MovieClip)
I have to create a slideshow that loads 16 different swf's into a container_mc. Each swf has an image with accompanying voiceover.
I have the basic next, previous, first, and last slide buttons working but they want to add a slider bar that plays and u can slide to a specific section of the slide show. The slidebar is where I am having troubles.
Here is what I have so far...
This is the code on the first frame for the buttons
For the slider I need to create some kind of loop that checks where the dragger is. If it is between 1 and 6 slideLabel = "Go to slide 1"; If it is between 7 and 12 slideLabel = "Go to slide 2"; and so on up to 16... when the dragger is released on the slide the user wants to go to it needs to load specified .swf.

It is partially working now, just needs to be tweeked... It is reading the variables, and setting the slide label text to the correct label, BUT it is only doing this once when the mouse is pressed and does NOT update when the mouse is dragged. I tried so many different ways and can't figure this out.

I'm working on a quiz-style piece right now and in short it's several pages of multi choice questions, each rewarding a certain point amount that is added up at the end and given specific results based on the point range scored. (i.e. 10-20 = good, 21-30 = great... etc)
For code I've stopped here: if (answercheck == 40 - 52){ trace("Feedback: Range 40 - 52"); form.gotoAndStop(3); form.AnswerTotal.Number = answercheck; }
Answercheck is the var with the total points accumulated. Form is the mc with the feedback frames based on their point totals. AnswerTotal is the dynamic text box I'm trying to load the exact point total the user acquired into at the end.
As my first Flash project of any consequence, I've created a simple banner animation that (basically) loops over a few different images, panning and fading in/out by setting the x,y coordinates, setChildIndex, and alpha. This was easy enough to code with an ENTER_FRAME event handler and a few state variables.Here are the most relevant snippets:
// Main // XXX - Putting addEventListener() first would // make some sense, but I would still have
I want to build a simple web 2.0 collaborative website using asp.net MVC2 or Flash and I want to receive events from a web based interface to a desktop AIR application. For e.g, someone makes a comment on a blog post, I want that information to be passed on to a desktop air application showing that a new comment has been made. What would be a good technique to receive asynchronous events?
I have a piece of code in my game which looks a lot like this: MultiplayerAPI.createGameRoom(function(){ successFunction(new Object()); }); Basically, the createGameRoom is performed and, upon success, the function I passed is run. However I've been running into some strange bugs recently and I'm wondering, is the instance of "new Object();" the same each time the callback function is run? It needs to be a different, fresh instance of Object each time, but I'm having some garbage collection issues which make me think it's passing the same object each time that event callback is fired,
