View 1 RepliesI've made an user login, working with php and MySQL. When the user logs in, he can see all of his details, loaded from a database. Here he can press a button to change this content. After changing it, he needs to press the "save" button to load the new data into the database. But everytime the user presses the save button, it's adding an extra line to the data into the database, which results in an error of displaying the data.

View 2 RepliesI am in a very peculiar situation here with my AS3 code. I was profiling my app in Flash Builder 4.5.1 as it seemed that it wasn't GC-ing some objects properly.
how to get rid of this object? Or how to determine what is holding it alive?
What does 1 Path mean? What is that GC Root and how it got there?

I'm trying to create a NetConnection object in action script 2 and I get this error. I get the same error when I try to create a NetStream object. I've looked at many other examples using NetConnection and they don't import anything relating to NetConnection. Is there something in the Flash settings that I need to set in order to get this working?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to quickly publish a simple game in which the user has to cross through an intersection without being hit by another car. Both roads curve, so the movie clips each consist of a child movie clip symbol moving along a path on the timeline. The User's movie clip plays when the user hits the space bar, and the other movie clip is initiated everytime the main timeline loops. The user has to carefully time his spacebar so that the child movie clips do not occupy the same space on the stage at the same time.The target path to the user's car is: parkingQue.nextCar.playerCar (actually a child of a child)I am attempting the following code, but naturally it doesn't work:
parkingQue.nextCar.playerCar.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, crash);
function crash(event:Event):void {if (parkingQue.nextCar.playerCar.hitTestObject(northBoundCar.northCar)) { trace

i have a flash file with a number of movieclips in the library - various bubbles that can be popped at a clilck. The fla has a document class - BubbleGame.as, and the various bubble mcies in the library are all exported for action script, (using their own names, but) with a mutual Base Class - BubbleBase.as, in order that all the various bubble movie clips have the same behavior: load in a random position, play out their own timelines, be popped when clicked, and if not popped - reload in another position.
This is all working very well, however, I want the movie clips removed if they hit an object on the stage. The object has an instance name of sym_mc, and I have tried various bits of code to cause the bubble to be removed when it hits that object, but i either get errors or nada.
I tried doing the hitTestObject code in both the document class and the base class. It seems more appropriate to have it in the base class - BubbleBase.as (below), because that tells the bubbles what to do.

I'm working on a function that replaces an existing movie clip with a symbol from the library and then designates an "updater" function for the new instance. I have the first part working as intended, but I'm not sure how to approach creating the "updater" function.I've considered using event listeners, but I'm not sure if that is my best option.The following is a excerpt from my code. This code is on the timeline of a movie clip. The movie clip is on the main timeline with an instance name of slideUpPanel_mc.
ActionScript Code:
var window_mc:MovieClip = window_mc; //window_mc as it exists on the timeline
var windowUpdateFunc:Function; //reference to updater function in window_mc

View 3 RepliesThe problem is simples as this, I don't have the slightest what this gomx class is:[code]I have a lot calls like these in the .as files of this site, no import, nothing, I can't find any reference in the code except this line.Also, I can't seem to find any information on the web about this class.. The only thing that I know is that it takes one object and one movieclip. I don't know if this is in house code or not, I can't find it anywhere on our disks so I think not.

Right now I have a fixed number of items so I can just write the code below.How could I set this up to work so that it could deal with any number of items in the arrays.The length of all the arrays will always be the same.It could even be one array I think, as items could be fed in in order.[code]

So it collect the varibales correct i've checked this by set loader.data.produkt_load to loader.data.produkt_0. But since I don't know how many I just can't set loader.data.produkt_load to loader.data.produkt_0. Insted I want produkt_load be a variable like it is in my code, but it seems that loader.data.produkt_load became undefined, why this? Can't you set a variable that change in loader.data.hereismychangingvariable?

View 1 RepliesI have 3 navigation buttons and an empty movie clip on the stage. Clicking each button loads a 'page' into the empty clip, and each 'page' is a movie clip in the library. When the movie initially loads, the 'home' page movie clip automatically loads into the empty clip on the stage and plays to a frame half-way through. When a navigation button is clicked I want to finish playing the loaded movie clip, remove it, load the new 'page' into the empty clip, and play it (also to the half-way point). I have been able to accomplish everything except getting the name of the loaded 'page' clip and making it play to the end. This is what I have in frame 1 of the main timeline with the code for 1 button:
var homeMovieClip:MovieClip = new homeScene();
emptyMC.addChild(homeMovieClip);

I'm trying to convert some C# code I have and one problem I can't find a solution for is to have a function take parameters of unknown types.
C# code:
PHP Code:
public T Maximum<T>(T v1, T v2){ return v1 > v2 != null ? v1 : v2;}
A straight translation to AS3 would look something like this, for making it easier to understand for people that might be confused by C# syntax.
[Code]...
This way you can send in anything as the parameters (notice the <T>), be different classes for example, depending on what situation you want to use it, instead of writing a lot of duplicate functions for every possible parameter type.
Is there a way to do this in AS3? Edit: Seems like I managed to find a solution right after I wrote this. Seems like one can use "*" as parameter type.
in AS2 I used to use this kind of code to get certain items in a movie clip :
PHP Code:
for (var sItem in this) { // do something with this[sItem]}
How do I do similar things in AS3? I mean, how can I access this[sItem] in AS3?
