ActionScript 3.0 :: Cleaning Up Properties And Have "fresh" Start?
May 12, 2011
I have made a game that after you reached a certain object it will switch to the next level. The next level is in a new layer and in a new frame. Problem is I think all of the properties (speed, collions etc..) have been inherited... Meaning my charachter will move on his own and collisions will still apply for objects if the previus frame.
Is there some kind of way to clean all of the properties and have "fresh" start? I have tried to clean the Array that detects the collisions, the collisions work now. But the player now is 2x faster and also jumps 2x higher... I don't have the code to past in here right know, I will add it later. So, summing up. Is there some kind of way for me to clean the properties of objects from one frame to the other?

Is it possible to load a new set of flashvars into a swf without refreshing the page. Example: Let's say that I have a swf that load an XML file based on the flashvars that are received when the page loads. This swf is sitting in a div on a page. Else where on the same page I have an html button that when pressed would set a new flashvar. Can the already loaded swf accept a new set of flashvars based on that HTML button being pressed and do this without a page refresh so that a new XML file is loaded in the already loaded swf?

How do you force your movie to load a fresh version of xml each time it plays? Say the file I want to load is called "galleries.xml" and it gets updated often, what can I do to ensure flash loads the most recent version?

I'm building an app that is interfacing with a database through PHP, but it looks like it's grabbing a chached version of the php page, which is giving it old data. How do I ensure that Flash loads the file fresh from the server and not from cache? I'm using URLLoader, andI've tried putting the question mark at the end of the URL (i.e. "questions_view.php?").

I have created buttons with this Actionscript. They load in the external swf's fine, but when I click on them again they load them in again, and again, and again... What do I need to write in the code so it loads in fresh everytime you click on the button? (or in other words, cleans up the load in page before it loads in new files).

I have a stage that's filled with dynamically generated isometric objects [ in the shape of a smiley, placed according to an array ], and when i click a button, i would like the stage to be cleared, then another frame with another isometric code and another array to load.The problem i am facing now is that the items positionned from the smiley are still on the stage if the next array is smaller than the previous one.Currenlty, i triedunloadMovieNum(depth) in between with this code:
Code:
n = 50;
onEnterFrame = function(){

I've created a map with the 50 states. I then hardcoded this so that when you hover over them the alpha is set to .5, and if you click on when it's ChildIndex is set to -1 and it plays the animation of the state growing to full size. I know there is a better way to do this, rather than how I wrote each line of code for each of the fifty states...
I'm also trying to play an outro animation "down" after the state is clicked while it is enlarged from the "up" animation.I also tried to create a var state so that when you mouse off of a state the state is no longer highlighted, but I ended up doing a work around using currentframe=.
Code:
//import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var small:int = 1;
var big:int = 2;[code]....

if you have object inside of object inside of object ... etcwhen you want to completely remove it is it enough to just say:removeChild(topObject);or you need to go inside and start cleaning from there?

I'm trying to clean up my code for an animation I created. I'm hoping by doing this, my animation will stop being as buggy and/or I can more easily figure out why its being buggy. think that variables are the way to go so I read up on them and have a decent idea of what I need to do. But what sounds good in my head doesn't seem to work on screen.So basically I would like to take my three buttons called card1, card2 and card3 and combine their functions. All the code for each button looks exactly like the code below (except for the mc name of course)
Code:
card1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overhandler);
function overhandler(event:MouseEvent):void {

The reason why I'm writting it's because I'm doing a website in Flash, and I don't know how to do one thing.I can create the TextArea, it's ok by now. But what I want to do now it's create 2 buttons. In the first, the "Clean" button, if I clicked on him, the TextArea delete everything it was written there, and in the "Send" button I send an e-mail to one e-mail, with what was written in the TextArea.

I had Flash 8 on my computer, and back when CS3 came out I purchased the full suite and installed that. Yesterday (years later, now) I was cleaning up installs on my computer to free space. I used Control Panel to remove Flash 8 from my PC.Now Flash CS3 still launches and works, but I cannot get .swf files to launch on their own at all. When I double-click them to open them, I get the message:
The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel. I've googled to figure out what that means or how to do it, but I haven't found a decent reply that's been effective. If I try to drag a .swf into a browser window (or just open it with a browser), it is also not recognized. Oddly enough, I can view Flash files on web pages no problem (when browsing online)...
Some necessary components must have been removed when Flash 8 was installed. I suppose I could try re-installing Flash CS3, but the problem with that is that I'm out of town on business for the next 10 days. My Studio install discs are back at home, and I need to get work done this week!.

I'm a relatively experienced programmer, but I'm completely new to as3my question is how can I remove one object and subsequently all it's child objects and their listeners?I need to remove all objects from a certain object called "world". My objects are all on top of this "world" object. the game has a level object which is on top of this "world" object and it produces enemies among other things on an enter frame event.To remove this from the stage I call the world.destroy() method from the main timeline.
Code:
// * Destroy the world
public function destroy()

Lets say a scene started off around 70-80mb, it loaded a swf in, and by removing the event listener and setting objects to null and numbers to 0 before unloading the swf,and went back to the original scene, the memory stack up till like 80mb++, and every time I repeats the same process the memory goes up higher,is that normal? or its a memory leaking issue?

As a best practice should trace statements be removed form all AS once we're on the final files? Or does it not matter and therefore best for future reference to leave them be?

I have a working rotating menu that I have been changing to suite what I am trying to acheive. it all works apart from the distance between images which I can sort out later. At the moment the movie has a UI which I would rather remove including the script that makes it function just leaving the rotating menu, and the script to change the radius and size etc witin the main.as. I do not want the user to have the capabilities of the UI control panel. remove and clean up the script as everytime I remove related script the menu stops playing. I have uploaded files to here: [URL]

I want to display HTML formatted content from various sources inside a Flash Flex application. Flash supports HTML formatting in its text fields, however it is very limited compared to a web browser. Are there any scripts out there that will convert common HTML formatted text into a format that Flash can handle? My particular use cases are:Displaying HTML formatted emails inside FlashDisplaying RTF files inside Flash (after running an RTF2HTML conversion on the server)Displaying random HTML content copied and pasted from other sources into Flash

I have a stage that's filled with dynamically generated isometric objects [ in the shape of a smiley, placed according to an array ], and when I click a button, I would like the stage to be cleared, then another frame with another isometric code and another array to load. The problem I am facing now is that the items positioned from the smiley are still on the stage if the next array is smaller than the previous one. Any way I could clear the stage before going on the next frame? Currently, I tried unloadMovieNum(depth) in between with this code:
Code:
n = 50;
onEnterFrame = function(){
trace(n);
n--;
unloadMovieNum(n);
if ( n<=0){
nextFrame();
} else { stop(); }
}
What happens is that it clears the stage, but doesn't load anything in the following frame.

I have a bit of code that calls a custom class that I made in flash. Basically when you roll over this logo I have a function that makes a new instance of a custom class and calls it to the stage like a little pop-up text when you roll over something. Then when you roll off of it I remove it from the stage. The following code is for the first pop-up text.

I was working on a project and Error#2044 was driving me crazy, I try to catch all errors, review and over review my movie loaders but nothing, that error does't allow me to use preloader because it fires off from the begining. When I was totally on my knees I decided to start the whole project from scratch, but, just for the sake of it after making a new flash document I try to simulate downloading and the SAME error fire off!, What? there is nothing, not even a line of code, a pure fresh movie and this errors lurks in my movies.What could It be, it is just my Flash?, this has no sense, It is an empty (fresh movie), why does this error fire off?
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.
Fresh Movie.

Just been playing around with the tutorials, on the Set properties/Get properties. Everything is all cool, except the "instance name" aspect. I dnt really understand that too well. Is it possible to change an Mc Name dynamically? If you look at my FLA when you hit the top left red button you will get a trace of the mcName as "square". Now if you input a new mc Name on the right hand side, you will see it change on the left hand side. But i want to know why it doesnt remain as the new mc Name, it still goes back to square.

I forgot to put it in the title so I'll just place it here; I am using AS 2.0. I know that there are other ways to accomplish the goal that am after, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to access the properties of an object's properties?
Here is the code that I thought of, even though it doesn't work
var a:Object = new Object();
a.bproperty = 0; //lowerlevel properties
a.cproperty = 1; // lowerlevel properties
[Code].....
This really just boils down to how I am organizing the code(I have ideas on what do next, and i am 99% sure that I can get them to work), and if there is a way to dynamically access the properties of the objects properties, It will save me from creating yet another large block of code for my project.

i am making a quiz. My problem is that once the user completes the quiz and wants to start again the quiz is already on the last question. How do i make it so that once the user clicks start again the questions and answers arrays start from the beginning, sort of reset themselves.

I'm trying to broaden my horizons with it and so I'm trying to do an update of a quiz program my employer has. Everything has worked well, except for the timer. The button that starts the game has two options, "study" or "exam"; if the study is selected, there is no countdown, just the score keeper. If the exam option is selected, the timer is show (counting up). But, press "Start" and while the quiz begins, the timer, in either case, does not.
I'm going to post the actionscript for the timer that was already there, as well as the start button. I'm hoping someone can explain how this timer is supposed to work and why it's not; and where the disconnect lies in pressing the start button and making it run.The timer is embedded in a movie clip, with two dynamic text boxes, that are for some have no instance name; and actionscript spread out over several frames.Frame 1:
Minutes = "00";
Seconds = "00";
Centiseconds = "00";
