so it all starts with this brilliant and self explanatory piece of code [URL] i need to get it working in as3, as i am integrating the code into a flash project. and need it on that main timeline. i would ideally like to do this without using xml.
View 1 RepliesI've been using Senocular's free transform tool: [URL] in tandem with an image upload (using the fileReference class) so that users can upload an image and the transform it.
The free transform class has a function that allows you to restrict the scaling of the movieClip that you apply the free transform to, but it works on a 'scale' rather than specific height and width properties. My problem is, that I don't know what he dimensions of each uploaded image will be, so if it's restricted to a scale, some images will be allowed to be bigger than others....
I'm using the Senocular Transform Tool to allow the user to scale an image that is loaded in. The demos work fine with sprites that are already on the stage.My setup is PureMVC and the images are loaded in, then I turn the loader content into a Bitmap and put that into a Sprite.I mimmicked the source files and added the TransformTool onto the stage level then I make the target the Sprite with the image inside.This all works and when I click on the image the TransformTool pops up and is the right size and shape. Unfortunately as soon as I try to scale or move it using the tool the image skews and scale in huge increments and goes off into the wrong directions.
I tried adding the Bitmap to the Sprite with the registration in the middle. I tried using a transform matrix to move the registration point to the center.
[URL]I'm designing my own photography site and am trying to produce something along the lines of contemporary photography websites (big images).The point being that I want the images/swf large enough to fill the ever growing trend for big monitors.This is where my problem begins - I want to have a slideshow of 5 images from each of the areas I cover.. simple enough sure. But, if I produce the slideshow within the main swf - the file size is something like 6 mb - which is jsut a bit too big and takes a bit too long to preload.
So I decided to make each image in the slideshow a seperate swf and import consecutively. The problem is that I need the external swf to trigger/import the next swf.I have had some success with importing to levels... but I need the swfs to import into a mc_holder because it needs to sit below my nav buttons and title.so I have this script to call in my slideshow to my holder.
"loadMovie("slideshow.swf" , "clipholder2");"
At the end of slideshow.swf is this "unloadMovie(this);" which unloads my movie. What I can't do is get slideshow.swf to import slideshow2.swf into my 'clipholder2'..
I'm new to Flash, In CS4, is it possible to add two consecutive tweens to the same object (symbol instance)? Say I want to have a shape move in from the left, wait a few seconds, and then move back out towards the left. Thus far, the only method I've found is to create a copy of the object (a new instance of the symbol), and animate it separately. But that creates extra objects, and getting the positioning right is very difficult. Isn't there a way to have one tween end and another begin (possibly after a delay) on the same object in the same layer? Or in different layers, which might be preferable?
View 9 RepliesI need a second or less in between 2 consecutive actions. I need a function.. like delayfor(seconds) which I have to insert between 2 actions. I tried something with getTimer.. but the computer then works slow because it checks the time very often.
This is my buttons code:
on(release) {
for (p=0;p<10;p++) {
// I need here a second to stop/pause/delay/to do nothing but wait (*)
line.lineTo(.......);
}}
So I need a second delay between every action in that "for".
What's the most effective way to find a number of consecutive elements in an array?
To keep this really basic, if I had something like:
var array:Array = [0,1,0,1,1,1,0];
What would be the best way to detect the three consecutive 1s?
I have been playing arround with array.some() but it ain't really working out
I have consecutive graphics being presented. I want them to start out slow then the speed at which they appear should increase steadily and quickly until they are flashing. So I am using this to time the animation:
setInterval(photoFlash,1000);
I guess what I am looking for is a way to do this:
setInterval(photoFlash,1000+100);
Where the interval is increased each time the function is run.
I have 2 swf files that I would like to play back to back. What is the best approach for that? The first movie needs to finish playing and then be followed immediately by the second movie.
View 3 RepliesI have this button:
<s:Button includeIn="MeniuPrincipal" label="Descarcare Date" click="downloadLmData(event)"/>
And this click event handler:
protected function downloadLmData(event:MouseEvent):void {
downloadData('competenta', 'competente');
downloadData('localitate', 'localitati');
}
The downloadData function looks like this:
private function downloadData(item:String, items:String):void {
try {
var colVar:String = 'col' + cappitalize(items);
this.status = "Descarcare date in curs...";
this[colVar] = null;

The problem is, all calls are ignored, except for the first one. Is there any "queuing" mechanism which would allow all calls to be made?

is it possible to add multiple children(twins) with same instance to add on different parents ?
Here we have an example showing that it fails to perform adding same child (photobg0) with instance on a new parent (page0 and page2).
My primary issue is: if i add too many objects on stage flash starts to lag especially if it is a movieClip from librarery, externaly loaded swf or image files
I am trying to duplicate child objects ,gussing this might prevent lagging?
ActionScript Code:
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/photobg.swf");
var photobgx:Number = 19.80;
var photobgy:Number = 90.55;

I have a long animated demo (approx. 5 minutes) that I want to shrink down to several small movie clips. This way if I have to go back and make changes I don't have to continue modifying a huge timeline. So what I want to have happen is to have a sequence1 loaded from the library on the stage. When sequence 1 is finished playing sequence 2 is loaded in it's place
View 3 Replieswith a "what should be fairly simple" problem I am having with the quiz template. I have a 5 frame quiz that I've developed from the template. All 5 interactions are Hot Object interaction types. The problem I am having is when I go from one frame to the next, the Hot Objects do not reset. Whatever the selection from the previous slide was, remains in a selected state.
I've tried renaming the Interactions in the Component Inspector, but that doesn't work. If I put some other interaction between two Hot Object Interactions, no problem. It's only when they are consecutive.
I have a movieclip in a game, performing different actions, all working beautifully now. I want to add one thing: If I click, say 5 times consecutively on that mc, I want an action to be triggered by that number of consecutive clicks, e.g. gotoAndPlay (2).The mc is moving around randomly on the stage and there are other clickable mcs moving around as well.

I have the following regex, which will match all the <br> and <br /> tags in a string:
/<br[s|/]*>/gi
I actually want to match every set of two consecutive tags, with valid matches being:
<br><br>
<br/><br>
<br><br/>
<br/><br/>
(and all variations with a space before the slash)
Obviously I can just double up the expression to /<br[s|/]*><br[s|/]*>/gi, but is there a shorter way of taking the first expression and saying "this, but twice"?
I have an array which I am populating as I navigate through the site. Sometimes due to cicumstances apparently out of my control, I end up with two (never more) duplicate values consecutively placed in my array, here is an example:

I need to run a script at all times that checks to see if this happens, and removes the second duplicate value, as well as it's corresponding key.How can I do this?
Would like to find out what are the techniques people are using for pre loading multiple dynamic content for example using Loader.load()I understand if i just had one Loader.load() then I can listen to it with contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, callback)But when I have multiple Loaders, what technique is used for ensuring all the content is loaded before playing the swf?Currently I use an counter such a that on each Event.COMPLETE from different Loaders, I increment that counter until I have register all the COMPLETE events. But I think this is certainly not a good method?
View 6 RepliesI have a number of loader instances (loader1, loader2, loader) which I will use to load pictures. I tried to create a loop and run the command
for(var st=1,st<4,st++) {

The concatenation "loader+st" doesn't seem to work. Is it not supported in AS2.0?
I have a dynamic text field which is loading images from an external html. This text is named scrollPaneImage and is a child of a movieClip called scrollPaneContent. I then load scrollPaneContent into a scroll pane named scrollPane
When the user interacts with my swf different images are loaded into scrollPaneImage. Since some of the images take a few seconds to load, I'd like there to be a progress loader displayed in the scrollpane.
I have tried adding the progress event listner to the dynamic text, the movie clip and the scrollpane and cannot get it to respond or track the loading.
scrollPaneContent.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,reportProgress);
function reportProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
trace(e.bytesLoaded + " loaded out of " + e.bytesTotal);
trace("LOADED");
}
Google calendar is available to be embed into a HTML website.. But I have a Flash site.. I want to load that calendar into my site.. It has an option for a button. But would like to have the entire calendar view. Can this be loaded into a dynamic text box or a loader component??? Does anyone have a clue how to do this... Or create a monthly calendar with events.. I can't seem to find one anywhere, I am sure it can be done.. but not very good with AS.
