working on a game with many things i want to control with onEnterFrame, in terms of processing speed, it is better to write them all into a single function or can i split them all up?

View 1 RepliesonEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

i'm very new to Flash (although have plenty of experience in Java, C++, PHP, etc). For a University assignment, I am creating a World Cup Guide and i'm creating a countdown to the tournament. I've followed a tutorial and modified it slightly but i'm receiving an error message. The error message is:

any consise methods to restart a deleted onEnterFrame that has been deleted?
View 3 RepliesJust wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
I have noticed that using the "addEventListener" and coming back into a frame, I get multiple events tied to the same component.The design I am using jumps to an "I" frame (intermediate) and then back to the "M" frame (main) when the user performs an action.I add event listeners to several components when I enter that M frame. What I notice is that the events seem to stack up for a particular component.
For instance, if I enter M frame, N number of times and addEventListener("click", handleEvent) to a radio button, I get N calls to handleEvent when the user clicks on the radio button. I guess this kinda makes sense but is not what I want. I just want one event of a particular type (in this case "click") to be associated with the a particular component. I get around this issue by removing the event(s) in the I frame. Then they get reinstalled in the M frame. Only one at a time.
So, just wondering about this behaviour. Is there a way to check for the number of events that are currently active on a particular component? Better way to handle adding events?
I am designing a music player using JavaScript (jQuery) and HTML5, with Flash AS3 to fall back. Basically what I want to do is to be able to click HTML control elements and have them interact with the flash in order to play/pause and skip tracks in the playlist (playlist JSON file read by JavaScript, passes file ID to AS3, AS3 reads another JSON file to get URL, then plays audio)
This enables me to only use the Flash to play the audio, thus creating the same user experience regardless of HTML5 browser support. I'm assuming I will have to 'listen' for events in AS3, however any pointers in how to engage these events in JS and react to the events in AS3
I created 2 separate swf files. One is a slideshow and the other is an interactive tool. I have have also converted these two files into a flash projector so as not to worry about plug ins that customer may or maynot have.I have another file right now which is the menu flash file that has buttons pointing it to the flash projector individual files. Since these are exe files, once the customer clicks on it, it will warn that it is potentially harmful and they have to click "run" in order for it to show.

View 1 RepliesSet 2 MovieClips on the stage each having a rectangle in it which have different colors. Put them one over another and apply to the top one some blend mode that shows some visual difference. Ok so what I need to do now is grab the bitmapData from both and redraw it into a single MovieClip, so what I need is to merge the 2 bitmapData, which worked fine without a blendMode, but I can't get it to work right with blendMode[code]...

I have this website with a white fade in / fade out menu. I'm trying to get the menu to be a little more visible. Because the menu is in white font, and the images it pops over occasionally have a white background, this creates a bit of a problem.
I created a large movie clip that fits the stage width and height. I'm calling it 'bg'. The idea is when one rolls over the 'projects' menu, the bg movieclip fades in to dim the whole file except for the menu. I'm setting the alpha of bg to 0 intially, so that it can fade in using TweenLite when the projects mc is rolled over, and fade out when projects is rolled off. I would just do this all using alpha if I could, but here's the problem: in order for the screening to work over the entire file, it has to also work over my externally loaded swf and it's gallery buttons. When the bg mc fades in and tints everything, it gets infront of the buttons and you cannot access them. So... I need to combine the alpha fade thing with turning the bg visible on and off. Is there anyway to do this both at the same time? Right now I either get nice fades, and the visibility not doing anything, or nice fade ins of the bg, and then an abrupt change when visibilty goes to nothing on roll over. [code]...
