ActionScript 3.0 :: Create A Simple Window Manager With It's Own Container?
Aug 26, 2011
I've worked with PHP/MySQL for some time but have basically been editing existing OOP scripts or coding my own using procedural programming. I understand some about objects and how they work and I've read books but I am one who learns best by experimenting and trying to find solutions to my failed experiments.
That being said, I'm trying to create a simple window manager with it's own container. However, I can't get the container to display anything as I apparently don't understand how the stage works in flex applications. Here is my code, there are no errors but nothing gets displayed.Additionally, how do I get the current width & height of the application?
UI.mxml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" initialize="init()" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Script>
[code]....

I can't seem to get the javascript open window functon to work with a simple button. I'm using flash 8. I'm creating a simple CD with exe which loads a swf movieclip. With in this movie clip is a button to open a popup window. Every javascript I have tried to use isn't working. The exe, swf and html page all reside in the same directory. There the latest:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('popup.htm','ne wWin','width=400,height=300,left=0,top=0,toolbar=N o,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No ,fullscreen=No'); NewWindow.focus(); void(0);");
}

I want to create an MXML container component that has some of its own chrome -- a standard query display, et al -- and that supports the addition of child components to it. Something a lot like the existing mx:Panel class, which includes a title label, but acts like a plain mx:Box with regards to adding children. To be clear, I want to be able to extend the container using MXML, so the "Multiple visual children" problem is relevant.

This seems like a really nooby question to me, but it was a lot easier in AS2. How could I create a blank container movieclip in AS3? I tried stuff like Code: var container:object = new Object(); And using movieclips and stuff instead of objects, but it didn't work. Also, is there a way to loop through the stage to find every movieclip that it contains? My snake game is currently, for lack of a better word (or perhaps attention span in English) un-re-playable.

How do you create a simple Health Bar for Actionscript 3.0? I have been searching for this for a while, and all I ever find are AS2 tutorials. AS2 dates back to about 900 B.C. ; it is an archaic language and it needs to be left alone, FOR GOOD.

Is it able to create a SWF with for example 800x650px and to define some 'containers' within it for other SWF-files? I want to create a container for navigation at the right and when clicking on a navi element,changing the content of anorher container availalble, perhaps like'headAnimation'.
Is it able to change attributes of an included 'container'with a SWF when clicking an element within another SWF placed in a
'container'? Perhaps I have an 'container' with 'navigation.swf' within. When clicking on an elemnt .I want to start a function that fades in/out another'container'. Am I able to create a function that works for all 'containers'? E.g.like that fader so I can submit the name of a 'container' to let it fade out and I can use that function within all elements in any 'container'.

I need to create a simple keypad. When using an embedded font in a dymanic text field I'm getting a strange result. I'm using .appendText in a function like this for each of the numbers:
function button1Press(event:MouseEvent):void {
MySolution.appendText("1");
}
[Code]....
In most cased when I press a second button, both numbers change to the second button that was pressed. Press the two and "2" is displayed. Then press four and it changes to "44". When using system fonts this doesn't occurr. This behavior only happens on the iPad. It's fine in the test window on my computer.

I'm trying to create a simple looping background with code only (and one library item). It's going to be used in a game I'm making.
I place the graphics in an array and tell them to move in an Enter Frame loop, then, I want to remove the graphics that surpasses a set position on the stage and move it to the start of the array.[code]...
And how I would move the graphics to the start of the array, I simply don't know :( If I get this to work, I also want to figure out how to make more than one layer of looping graphics, if possible. But, do you think what would slow down the game a lot?

I'm trying to create a very simple flash:An input text field, in which the viewer is to enter a simple word (in this case, let's say the word is "earth.") Beneath this text field is a button.When the button is clicked, flash should detect whether the user entered the word "earth"- if they entered "earth", they get sent to frame 2 of this movie. If they typed something else, then they get sent to frame 3.Now, this should be pretty simple, but every attempt I've made has failed, and every search for a simple tutorial/example of how to compose the script meets with no results. Currently, this is the script I put on the button (The input text field has been given the instance name of "answer_1"):[code]

i.e. everytime the spaceship reaches a point a new one will be created randomly and the ship is flying to it (etc., etc.)Problem is that it doesn't really work because after the ship flies around for some time it suddenly stops to move. It's a matter of time. Sometimes the problem occurs after 5 seconds then again the spaceships flies around for 2 - 3 minutes and stops the movement immediately.Currently I have no clue where the problem is. I already checked the distance function but so far it seems to be okay
This is the code (just an excerpt):
Code:
private function update(timeDifference:Number = 0):void
{
var step:Number = (timeDifference / 1000) * timeBasedUpdateModifier;
for each (tempEnemy in enemyManager.enemies)
[code]....
