ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Where Is Function Called By Button Action?
May 14, 2010
I have template that i try to edit when you click image thumbnail it opens window with larger version, on thumb script look likeon(release){ _root.page = 0;_root.play();}I trying to find that window that opens up because i need it resized, if i resize images nothing happens that frame that pops up when you click thumbnail is still same size. So i want to trace what happens when it executes _root.picn variable, maybe somewhere in code it will tell me what layer on time it refers to so i could edit
as im just starting out.for example i have a graphic i need to rewined (instead of tween backwards)when the button is clicked it calls this function in timeline
mc_on_stage.onEnterFrame = function() { if (rewind == true) { prevFrame();
I have a Flash app where I call the first frame over and over. I have a script, that I need to be executed just once at the beginning. Where should i put it? Obvioulsy the first frame isn't a good idea, the script is called to many times. Is there some place for this or some function that would allow me do this?
I have a base that contains a load movie action loading "drag_bar.swf" into an mc called "content".drag_bar is a drag menu i created. It works when its opened by itself but doesnt work once it has been loaded into the base file.I know its because the AS in it contains the word "root" but when i changed it to "this", it still didnt work.
I need to update the dynamic text in this flash file I have and export it to SWF. I've looked at the actionscript in all the frames and symbols but the only thing I've found so far are "stop();" 's
I tried exporting this to SWF to see if the file size was the same as the current working version on the site, and it was about 15kb smaller, and does not work at all.
How can I see all external file references in flash? I need to be able to tell my boss which files are needed or at least what is missing.
If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I have a slideshow that is looped ... it contains 5 slides.I am using a gotoandPlay action to control the slide show.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); }
There is a fade transition between slides.When a button is released ... I want to gotoandPlay (frame 98) ... and then have it stop 10 frames later on (frame 108). Frame 98 includes the transition ... if I just gotoandStop on frame 108 ... I loose the transition.Is there any way to incorporate a stop action, after a gotoandPlay action on my button ... without naming instances etc.I.E.
on (release) { this._parent.gotoAndPlay("98"); STOP ON FRAME 108 INTEGRATED HERE }
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0) Insert -> New Symbol Name - test Type - button Export for ActionScript Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code: on(release) { trace("trace"); }
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
How can I get an action to follow another action when a button is clicked? When a button is clicked, I want the timeline to go to a certain frame and play and when it's done playing, to go to another frame and play. I basically want two actions in one function.
Use Flash CS5 (and AIR, though this does not seem like it would be AIR related) in Win XP 64 I have a MovieClip symbol in my library with the identifier 'Puzzle10Piece10' with the following actionscript attached to frame 1 of the only layer with the following actionscript:
[Code]...
This runs contrary to my understanding of the pre-compiler and code execution order. In my way of thinking, any reference creation and related memory allocation is made when the object is instantiated, and indeed that allocation, unlike C depends not on code order (declaration before use), though this is an order that would satisfy even the C pre-compiler. If I understand the Flash compiler at all, it's not even a question of 'code order'... the symbol is pre-compiled such that for it to exist... for it to be instantiated, the variable would exist before the function would even be 'available' to be called internally or externally. Is my thinking way off, or is this a bug?
I have an AS3 program that calls a function multiple times. The function must return multiple variables, so I created a class for the function to declare an object containing all of these variables. For example, here's my class:
package { public class PER { [Code].....
Let's say the calling program calls the function, which returns the variables into data_set1 (where data_set1 depends on input variables arg1, arg2, arg3) using:
var data_set1:PER = function_name(arg1, arg2, arg3);
The calling program does some stuff, then calls the function again, but returns the variables into a new variable name, data_set2:
var data_set2:PER = function_name(arg4, arg5, arg6);
My intention is that data_set1 and data_set2 are different (e.g. not linked together).
My question is, given that arrays are passed by reference, will data_set1 be modified to agree with data_set2 upon the 2nd function call? Why or why not?
I'm using an AMF service that was built by someone else. Basically what happens is that some info is passed to the AMF service and it returns true or false.I want to be able to pass in various info to the a function that calls the AMF service(submitTracking) and then get the true or false value returned in onResultSubmit to be passed back to submitTracking.
var screen:String; var buttonnumber:String; function submitTracking(screen:String, buttonnumber:String) {
I'm trying to find a function that will repeat my Rotational tween function. I found the yoyo() function to be what i want to do but i don't want the tween to change the rotation to CCW while originally moving CW. Basically i want the animation to move CW at a steady rate continuously.
I'm using the following code at the moment, i'm not too sure if this is the most suitable code for this situation, maybe im off track.
From my thoughts, i assumed that i would need to put the stars function in a onEnterFrame to repeat the animation and change yoyo() to continueTo() function. or maybe some sort of if statement in the stars function?
ActionScript Code: import mx.transitions.Tween; import mx.transitions.easing.*; var stars:Tween = new Tween(ring, "_rotation", Regular.easeInOut, 0, 360, 4, true);
I've been banging my head against the wall with this one. I have the following set function in Flex. [code]If I set the periodChangeAmount to -1 or 1 the set method gets fired. If I set it to zero it doesn't get fired. What's the deal? Does anyone know why it wouldn't get called when setting it to zero. If I change the object type to a number or even an object it still doesn't work as expected.
I have this script for random letter cycling below. I want to call this function to happen at a certain click or frame label, but when I call it with tweenmax, I get a runtime error. Can anyone explain to me how to call this function at certain events. I know this is definitely not best practice but have to try somewhere and here is what I did:
var targetWord:String = 'home'; var wordSoFar:String = '';[code]....
I am loading one xml file and onload (or onData) of this file I am calling another function but, this function is not getting called. What can be the issue? Can delegates be used here and how?
Here is the code for reference
Code: //path for _global.bookXML is defined already. _global.book_xml = new XML(); _global.book_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
mainClass.as package { import mfClass.CarSelector; import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.events.Event; public class MainClass extends MovieClip { [Code] .....
Now, when I run this in flash. I get this message.. in output. TypeError: Error #1006: sel_Fun is not a function. at MainClass/show_selector() at MainClass()
I've got a function 'fullReset' which resets the stage and places several movieclips (which are balls) back to a starting area. Within this function is a call to the 'unlockBallfunction within the Ball class (see bottom of code below).
ActionScript Code: private function fullReset(event:Event):void trace("RESET BUTTON HIT");
In the game I am building I need every 5 seconds a function to be called. The function looks like the following:[code]How would I go about making a time that pretty much counts to 5 and then resets itself again?
I have a function ("advance_slideshow()") that ticks a slide show up by one, then it loops back at the end. It works when called from the key listener I set up for debugging. However it does not work when called from setInterval. I added a trace to the function to confirm that it was being called, which it is; it just doesn't work when called via the interval
Code: ////////////////////////// /* IMPORTS AND INCLUDES */
I am working on a Flex Front End at the moment, and have been using the Parsley framework for passing messages/events around.
I was wondering if there is a simple way for a function (in this case, an event's constructor) to obtain a reference to the object which called it?
This is to ensure that a certain event that I am defining can only be dispatched by one specified class. My thinking is to check the caller of the constructor somehow, and throw an error if it is not of the correct type.
If I override a public function in a base class, I would have thought that this override function is called and the original is ignored? though this doesn't seem to be the case...
public class AbstractScreen extends Sprite { public function AbstractScreen() {
[Code]....
If my model dispatches a CHANGED_LANGUAGE event, the text in the views gets updated, But I also get a trace of "WARNING: need to override public function updateLanguage()"
i got a class(class1) that extends another class (class2)...when something happens in super class, i need to update the class1, soi need to trigger a function in class1 from class2... I know is bad programming, but is that possible? I'm confused
I have an MC object called with linkage to be treated as a class in the library,part of the code is what follows (what is relevant to this problem):[code]If I drag and drop the object from the library onto the stage to instantiate it and call the function from within the object, then there is no problem, and the code is executed with no problem. In the main movie clip, I want to create an instance of this class with code, add it to stage and call this function with the following code:[code]
Through the use of flags I have confirmed that we in fact enter the function setTable, and that this error is produced once I try to reference the cardArray.I do not declare the array outside that function because I need other functions in that MC to be able to see it. Relocating the declaration does not solve the problem, because then the interpreter advances to the lines where I reference other functions declared in the MC (which I want in there), and the same problem arise: it has not yet seen the declaration of functions like the custom shuffle function for arrays
