ActionScript 3.0 :: Get 'root1' As The Trace Result
Aug 7, 2009
I have a button within a movieClip. I have an event handler on the main timeline that traces this.name when the button is clicked. I get 'root1' as the trace result. I would like to trace the button name.
we use "document.write" in javascript, similarly i use "trace" in flash. But, what if i want it to get displayed in the swf itself. Will i have to use a "dynamic text box" (if yes, how) like writing " mytxtbox.text= ..." or what else is the way. The point being that the result that gets displyed in the output panel because of trace should come in the 'swf' so that someone using the swf to test would not need my .fla
In Flash/Flex, is it possible to capture the result of 'trace' in code?
So, for example, if one part of the code calls trace("foo"), I'd like to automatically capture the string "foo" and pass it to some other function.
Edit: I'm not interested in trying to use trace instead of a proper logging framework... I want to write a plugin for FlexUnit, so when a test fails it can say something like: "Test blah failed. Here is the output:
Edit 2: I only want to capture the results of trace. Or, in other words, even though my code uses a proper logging framework, I want to handle gracefully code that's still using trace for logging.
I'm getting the geolocation data of a viewer and creating a textfield to display this data (city,state). After the data is pulled the text is measured to fit in the textbox and if the length of the city is too long, the text is adjusted in size to fill the textfield. When I trace the end result of the final text size, I keep getting the (same) trace result outputted infinitely.
[Code]...
It worked, but I needed the text box to be made according to what data was pulled from the geolocation xml, so I added it in the geolocation script.
I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:
[Code]....
I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.
I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,
ive got a loaded xml list for an mp3 player. from playing track1, when i select track 2, it traces "track1" but then after a second click it traces "track2" and stays on that. the actually music for track2 does load on the first click though, but not the trace. anyone know why on the first click it would still trace the previous track? here is the code for that function...
why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?
* my flash movie loader is'nt working after uploading it to website (online).
* The Replay option has gone and not showing after the movie ends
* I want the "skip button" to show while movie is loading.
* my movie should automatically start playing after loading and after clicking "Skip INTRO Button" the page should redirect to next page (URL is defined in skip button action script)
I ams still experiencing some problems with ActionScript 3 and flash and I think it is because of variable scopes what I am trying to do is to make this code iterate exactly same number of times as flash does but the problem is again variable scopes here so please if you have time could you help me with converting it to c#?
XML is cool in flex, but I have an annoying problem to solve, caused by what I can imagine is a feature. You see, when you have just one tag of something, it creates an object which is not an array. But when finds more than one, it puts it on an array structure.[code]I could check the format of resObj.specifictag (to check if it is has an array) and then duplicate the code (for each case). But -even if it's calling a function- I don't think it is an elegant solution.Well, I hope someone has a good idea on this matter. (I know from experience that SO has much more C++ experts than flex, but well...)The perfect thing would be that HTTPrequest handled every tag in a consistent way (using always arrays... though I'm guessing that that would also have its drawbacks).
So good so far in ActionScript language I actually haven't fell in bad condition but still I have one good issue that I can't do!In order at the root timeline everything is Ok when I call the XML childNodes or write the XML class everything its true, but when I call the XML childNodes from root within a movieclip XML
using httpservice in flash builder 4 for a login system, but am getting the result as raw php unprocessed data from server, but when i run the same file in the browser i get a correct xml file am using MAMP, here is the php code :
I need to make a SWF that should show some data from the DB. The DB will be read using PHP.I was thinking that the SWF would get the data by accessing "data.php" and data.php will read from the DB. The SWF would read the XML/JSON/RAW DATA from that file and update it's variables.
I am trying to create a weekly calendar. I have a 'switch' statement that shows the week dates and the name of month the week relates too. I have three functions
1. takes the pc date and converts it into the day of the year. eg between 1 and 365
2. it takes the day from 1. and assoicates it to the week number eg 1 - 52
3. functions that are associated with a previous and next button that use the current week number based on the pc date and count up and down.
This is where I have come unstuck. This is the code for my 'next' button.
Code: function onClickNext(event:MouseEvent) { if(currentWkNum != 53)
Below is my code and it is working. What I need to know is how to setup multiple passwords for one result. So look at the first four actions.. they go to the same page. I also want it to go if it is small caps verses large. How do I put all in one statement or do I have to do it this way. How do I put this in a text file if I have multiple passwords going to different pages. So as you see below if they put in password1,PASSWORD1,cash,CASH this all goes to page1.html If this put in password2,PASSWORD2 it goes to page2.html[code]...
I have a problem that bugging me and hindering me from advancing to next part of the game. I'm very much behind schedule because of these weird behavior. (Well I blame my ignorance for not properly coding them)
I'm trying to do a simple click-and-match game where there are 18 items to flip but only 10 items (5 pairs) are the valid answer. The problem lies with this part:
I have coded a map that when a province object is clicked on, it should move to the center of the screen and grow a percentage of the width, along with displaying a number of different things.
The problem is that in order for the image to resize it needs to be clicked on twice. It moves, and all of the children display just as they were designed to do, but the resize doesn't work on the first click.
menuItem4_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick); public function onClick(mc:MouseEvent):void { menuItem4_mc.width = width * .65;
I'm trying to feed data from SQL database to FLEX, using php script in the middle. I see the data in body of message in the Network Monitor and in "Variable" window during debug, but i cant retrieve them to XML.
Below (event.message.toString())
(mx.messaging.messages::AcknowledgeMessage)#0 body = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <articles> <node><id>2</id>
I need to make a function that execute a java method and return his result. It is static becouse a lot of other functions will call this function. So I did this:
public static function FKDescription(dest:String):String{ var jRemote:RemoteObject = new RemoteObject(); var s:String;
[Code].....
But the function returns null, because the valresult() was not been called at the end of main function. What shoud I do to make FKDescription() return the string that came from remoteobject?
Keep in mind that I've been teaching myself AS for the past couple of days FROM SCRATCH. don't throw out comments like "what the hell are you doing that for?". If there's a way you can improve on the following, please let me know politely
I've been looking around everywhere to find a wait function and found nothing that will actually stop the code. I also read up on why it doesn't exist (because after 15 seconds browsers think Flash has become unstable).
my code somehow manages to say that the result of 66.6 + 33.3 = 99.89999999999999
It might be possible in some alternate universe, but here on earth, I should get a result of 99.9... I'm really hoping one of you can explain to me why Flash returns that result, cause really, I'm at a loss here... this line:
ActionScript Code: var int_tmp:Number = int((nbUserArray[t]/nbUserTotal)*100*10)/10;
I made sure the values are the correct ones, plus the traces confirm that the first time, it equals 66.6 and the second time it equals 33.3. So really, I don't understand how it can return this... monster of a result .
Im trying to put a video in my website and im getting a strange result. on my computer everything is working fine BUT when im trying to run it over the internet its showing me only the skin of the video player but not loading the video.
