Making a game and I have a preloader class which is linked to the main 'game.fla' file, in the preloader class I have imported the 'Game.as' class that contains ALL the code to run the game. The problem I am having is that I can't seem to 'initiate' the game once all the elements are loaded.

Code:
var newTile:bgTile = new bgTile();

I'm working on a background music class and found that you cannot use the Sound class in a class file. Specifically, initiating and attaching the sound. Starting, stopping, getting the duration and such seem acceptable (though I haven't tested this yet). I've done a few searches and haven't found any work arounds other than when the class is called, hand it the sound object with the sound already attached, like this:
ActionScript Code:
import bgMusicClass;
var bgSnd:Sound = new Sound(this);
bgSnd.attachSnd("newWave.mp3");
var bgMusic = new bgMusicClass(bgSnd);
URL...the problem is why it takes as long as it does to initiate the loading of the site if it's already loaded the site, here's the code for the preloader that loads the file that is being waited on:[code]

View 1 Repliesafter several hours tinkering I've set up a movie to initiate a set of actions triggered by a movieclips _x position. Im using Math.round to keep my intergers whole and im using ease on my movie clip. If the movie clip starts at 0,0 and the buttons are hit 1,2,3,4 everything is fine, but hit the buttons out of order (2,4,1,3) or set the start point of the mc to anything but 0,0 and the movie becomes a mess.I don't understand what im doing wrong. I tried some simple loop commands and my comp just locked up repeatedly so I broke down and used frameloops, it's closer to complete but still so far
View 4 RepliesI was wondering how to accomplish this. I have a .swf embedded into an html file with html links on the top. Within the .swf file I have a continue button that takes the user through all the frames. Is it possible to include some kind of code so that when they reach the end of the .swf the "next" link will become initiated and take the user to the next .html page. I am working with captivate is this feature in captivate? If anyone could point me in the right direction or share some wisdom it would really make my day
View 1 RepliesI have an app that when it starts loads up about 200 small gif images from the web server. Code looks something like this:
for each (myValueObject in myarray) {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(myValueObject.getImageURL());
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
[Code]....
This worked fine in testing for a few dozen images. But now I'm running it with about 200 images, and about half the images load fine but the other half I get an error:
Error 2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent.
Each time I run it, different images succeed and fail. This gives me the sense that I have somehow reached a limit on either the number of concurrent URLRequest threads that Flash can run, or the number of concurrent HTTP requests that the image server can handle... or maybe there is a timeout on Loader that I can make longer?
How does one go about creating a webcam interface in Flash using as3?
Which classes need to be imported and what is the code required for Flash to interpret a movement (waving of the hand) into initiating a function.
I have a product demo in Flash that's roughly 1MB in size. When people access a page that this demo lives on, the demo doesn't visibly "appear" until over half of the total bytes have already been loaded..You can see this by clicking here, and seeing that by the time the swf materializes on the screen, the preloader progress bar is already over 50% (or so).How can I fix it so that at least something shows up right away, so that the user isn't staring at a blank screen for 30 seconds? The preloader seems to work ok.

I have searched many actionscript tutorials and forums in order to find a solution to my problem, so far no luck. My problem: To randomly deal 13 cards, face up, onto pre-designated coordinates of the main stage. Each card is, of course, different. Once dealt, how to get and set the value of each card to initiate the game?
View 10 Repliesis there a way to start a stream, let it buffer, but pause it on the fast frame? (or not start it at all) the manual pause call is way to slow.
View 4 RepliesI have a main movie called home.fla. In this movie I only have one frame and I have place 5 different movie clips (not SWF) on this frame at different positions but on the same layer. These five movie clips are named mc_main1, c_main2.Each of these movie clips contains 5 frames, with a button on each frame. Each of these buttons also has a movie clip inside them (mc_sub1 mc_sub5). You can only go from frame 1 to frame 2 of each clip (main1, main2 etc.) my clicking on the button on frame1.The user can go to any of the main movie clips in whichever sequence they want. For example, they can choose to go to clip main3 and click on it twice (this will take the user till frame 3 of main3 and play the movie clip that is inside frame3) and then they can decide to click on main1 once and then main4 three times until they have visited all the parts of (all the 25 mc_sub) all the movie clips (main1 main5).
Once the user has visited all the 25 mc_sub i.e. once they have finished going thru all the 5 main movie clips completely, I want to display an animation (mc_animation) on the frame1 or any other frame of the home.fla movie.Is there away to determine if the user has finished watching all the 25 mc_sub i.e. if the user has gone thru each and every frame of each of the mc_main movieclips.I think the problem is that since the user can select any of the mc_main clips in any sequence, I am finding it difficult to determine when they have finished going through everything. If it was all in a sequence then I know I could have calculated if the current frame is equal to total frames and then I would have displayed the animation if the above was true; but that is not the case here.
a SWF that will serve as the main movie for the site. Inside this SWF, I have a script that loads a JPG into a holder MC that's on stage. So basically it's like this:
- main.fla
-- holder_mc (this isn't an empty MC, it has some PNG's inside)
--- external JPG loaded in by loadMovie
I'm ok with building a preloader for the holder_mc and the rest of the FLA (without the size info of the external JPG), but how would I incorporate the size of the external JPG into my initial preloader before I actually start playing everything. Would I have to set the holder_mc visibility to false, call the loadMovie, initiate the preload, and then set visibility back to true. There's gotta be a better way?
why my image won't load when I have it's class referenced from the document class rather that being in the document class?

I found myself loading a new XML file every day and so decided to create a small class that will load the xml file and return it.The class is loading the file but when i try to return it to a new xml object in the document class it doesnt load it.I think that it's something to with the return being in a nested function but i tried a few ways and non seems to work.

it just returns "null".

I'm trying use the MovieClipLoader class to load up a swf and have it start at a particular frame. Such as:
Code:
var myloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myloader.addListener(this);
myloader.onLoadComplete = function(target:MovieClip) {
[Code]....
The Bold underline text is where I would imagine most of the magic happens. How Would I place the MovieClipLoader into this and have that swf go play that particular frame label?
I'm having some issues with images loading from another class other than the document class.
I currently have two classes: Loader and GamePanel.
I also made a picture into a MovieClip type with a self generated class.
When I use the Loader to construct it :: new someBackground().
And addChild, it appears.
But if I construct the GamePanel class and call the generation of that same background, it does not appear. I'm currently using actionscript 3.
I'm using the tweener class in this file just fine. But whenI try to use the sound manager class I cannot get it to load why?I keep getting type was not found ....

I'm trying to build my flex modular app, and got the following scenario
Portal (which includes, 2 modules:)
-Mod1 (.swf)
-Mod2 (.swf)
Also, I have Mod1-API (.swc). The Mod1-API, defines interfaces which are implemented on the Mod1 (.swf). Both the Mod1 and Mod2 swfs import the Mod1-API swc. I'm trying to call the API method on the Mod2. On Mod2 I've the interface, since it is shared via the Mod1-API project. What I'm trying to achieve is the real implementation class loading on Mod2, via reflection, using the getDefinitionByName method, but it says its not defined. How from the mod2 load a class that is on the Mod1 project, returning just the interfacce to the mod2 so it can call methods just like an ordinary API method?

I have an as class :
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Code].....
i have let's say a folder with more than 15 .as files, each of one represents a class that I want to load in another "main" .as file.
Those 15 .as files are NOT used anywhere else and are not loaded in the library so no instance of those classes exist anywhere.
when I try to load one like this
Code: var theHandlerClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(classPath) as Class; var theHandler:XMLNodeHandler = new theHandlerClass() as XMLNodeHandler; where theHandlerClass will be one of the 15 files I mentioned, I get a Variable is not defined error. classPath is defined by the user. All 15+ classes are subclasses of XMLNodeHandler.
The problem is solved if I create 15+ instances of all the different .as files I have inside main.as, or create 15+ objects in library with all the different classpaths in the "export for as" field, but this something I don't want.
How can I somehow deploy all these .as files so the main .as can see the classes, but without creating objects in library, or instances in main.as .
I have lots of images in the library (tile1.png, tile2.png, tile3.png...) each of which are on one frame of my Tile MovieClip. My Tile class which was created when I made the Tile movieclip and pressed export for actionscript also contains some other data such as height, texture, movementCost... et cetera.
I would like to take all the stuff out the library, and load the images from a local folder, have them loaded into my "Tile" class so that when I make a new Tile object and in my main fla file if I write addChild(someTile) it will draw the tile image to screen.
Basically what I am asking is how I can do this:
Create new movieClip (Tile) object and put it in the library
Export the new MovieClip (Tile) for as3, so it gets its own class (Tile.as)
import all my pngs from local folder into the library
put them all on a seperate frame on my new movieclip (Tile)
var myTile:Tile=new Tile();
myTile.gotoAndStop(x);
addChild(myTile);
WITHOUT using the library. I want to be able to do this with only as3 if it's possible.
I have three Class files: Main, Sub, XMLLoad.
