ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Function Only Occur Once?
Nov 11, 2009
I've got a lovely little drawing of a tree, and when I hover over it, the leaves turn from green to brown, which is exactly what I want it to do, however, I only want it to do it once. At the moment, once it's finished it's colour change, it stays that shade of brown, but if I hover over it again, it starts the little green to brown animation again. Is there any way to make it only listen once? ie once it turns brown, it stays brown forever?[code]

How do I make an MC or other object listen always for an action to occur. I know that sounds vague and I don't mean it to be. I'm wanting to dynamically load MCs into another base MC. The deal is the amount of child MCs is not defined. I want each MC to be "listening" for an action to occur in a base MC and in other child MCs. I tried using localConnection, but it doesn't do the above.

Is there a way to make event flow occur synchronously?
Basically this is my scenario. I have a single method call that gets triggered by a server request. I want to be able to notifiy subscribers that the method has/is executing so that they may return a result. By modifying an attribute of the actual event object, the method can return that result to the server dynamically. Eg:
Code:
//method invoked by server
public function whatever(...parameters):* {
var event:MyEvent = new MyEvent(MyEvent.TYPE);
[Code]....
This code works around 70% of the time, but sometimes I see things are really happening asynchronously in Flash Player's event flow. Is there anything I can do to regulate this and make sure it happens synchronously?

I tried this and got nothing
function ioError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
error_txt.text = e.text;

I have a main swf with a button that loads a simple Papervison3D cube swf.It loads just fine...but when i click a different button on my main swf (which removes the Papervision swf and loads a different swf) i see endless repeating lines of the same error build up in my error window. Visually, everything works (the Papervision swf is removed immediately and a new swf replaces it) but these errors suggest otherwise It looks like the Papervision swf has not completely been unloaded or something...i dunno. Is there some removal step that i'm not doing?

The strangest thing has occurred with one of my apps (Flash/Coldfusion/mySQL). I use a simple INSERT statement to save member details into my table. The table has a Primary Key on the memberID. Recently, one of my entries was saved multiple times (not supposed to happen). The datetimestamp shows the save occurred at the identical time. This has never happened before. I've read on Stackoverflow that there are alternatives to INSERT e.g. REPLACE INTO, but I'm wondering why this would have occurred in the first place?

here's my string....
var shapeString:String = "Princess,Round,Radiant,Princess,Heart,Round,Radiant,Emerald,Radiant,Radiant,Pear";
I need to figure out how to return the the 3 items that occur most in the order of highest to lowest. In this example it would end up being.
newString = "Radient,Princess,Round";
I imagine I would use indexOf somehow but I am not going to know what pattern I am searching for in the string so it is just based on the items that end up in shapeString based on a bunch of selected elements.

I have a problem with some code. Its in the else statement below. Essentially I am trying to make sure I can read in the mc._height value before I continue with the code, I use a listener to check that I can get the value which I can,however it seems to do all the code after the loadListner.onLoadInit function before this function.

I have many movieclips -I have 10 movieclips for each type-and i have around 7 types of movie clips (ex. 10 red squares, 10 green triangles, 10 blue circles movieclips) now I want a different action to occur if any of the movieclips get clicked-but the same action should occur if the same type gets clicked (ex. if the user clicks on any of the blue circle-it should get dragged, if they click on any of the green triagles-it should get deleted and so on)what's an efficient way of doing it except for
if square1.onclick=square2.onlick=function()...
if triangle1.onclick=triangle2.onlick=function()...
there's a prototype-but that affects all the movieclips-is there a way for me to make each of the movie clips-sort of a different category (object) so that way I can use prototype keyword-or anything else-to have the same affect? and not have to write repetitious code?(maybe some sort of inheritence to movieclip)

I'm trying to have an animation occur on a timeline and not on Enter frame, so instead of it doing a continuous loop it just does the animation twice then stops. Currently this code is on the movie clip itself and I want to move it to the main as code line so it animates then stops.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
rpm = 35
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {

The jist of what I'd like to know and focus on understanding, is details on how binary deserialization occurs in Flex 3. When is the constructor called, when are properties set, are private members serialized or does all deserialization occur on and through setters, etc? I'm having a hard time finding information on this.In a Flex 3 AIR application, I have a pretty complex object graph(just a bunch of objects referencing one another, kinda like a big data model except a bit more complex) that I serialize to a file using a single call on the FileStream.writeObject and readObject on a root object, which serializes and deserializes the entire object graph.I found that I needed to always have a default constructor, else I would get exceptions on the objects when deserializing if they were part of an ArrayCollection. So I had to eleminate the constructor parameters or set default values. I now have many setters like this in my classes, such as the below where mConnection accumulates some information it needs through different setters, where as before I had this all packed into the constructor since all of the information is really necesary for the Connection to function:[code]So the connection's serverIP is still an empty string because the server was assigned to the client's property before the server was completely initialized.
I could probably resolve this by using binding so that updates to the serverip in the server are bound to the connection, but I find binding properties to be fairly complicated (it's really simple on UI in mxml cause you just use the curly bracket syntax but doing it by code is what I found complicated). I have also resolved some cases by removing the constructor parameters entirely, so that there is no default values. All that aside, I still really need a deeper understanding of the details of binary serialization as far as how it rebuilds the object graph. I even have circular references, and it seems to handle those fine and maintain multiple references without duplicating objects. It's just when my constructors/setters are more complex that I'm running into these problems because of the order of what occurs during deserialization. It is really inconsistent though, as adding breakpoints in various places seems to influence the order that things occur, making it more difficult to debug.On a side note for anyone that might sidetrack the topic because I am serializing a class called Connection. I added some code to address some things, like in the Connection class there is an instance of a Socket. Of course my socket would not be connected after I close and reopen the application and deserialize it, so before I serialize my object graph, I go through and close the socket and set the reference in the Connection class to null, so that there is no longer a reference to the socket and thus it will not get serialized. After deserialization on the next application run I create a new socket.

I have an application with a Google Map, an Area Chart, and an accordion containing a list.When the selection in the list is changed, the application fetches data from the server and updates the chart and map, repositioning the map to contain all markers within its viewport and kicking off a SeriesEffect to animate the chart data redraw.When a user changes selections and continues to mouse over the items in the list while the map and chart are redrawing, the labels on the item renderers disappear.The item renderer code is the following:
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx = "http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx = "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"

I've some very old Flash applications, which we don't want to rebuild to add a new feature. We simply need to detect when the user has become idle. So, if the Flash application receives no key or mouse events after 3 minutes, we want to track that time till the user interacts with the application again.
We've considered wrapping the applications in newer Flash applications to include the key/mouse event tracking; however, early research shows that some of our apps are so old that they use event systems or AVM's (ActionScript Virtual Machines) that are incompatible. Also, it seems that mouse events on the inner application don't bubble up to the outer application. (I think the direction of event processing is backwards in versions of Flash prior to 8)
Anyhow, the next idea on the table is to see if we can determine when the user stops interacting with the old Flash applications using JavaScript. Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to detect, using JavaScript only, when a swf in an HTML document loses focus or key and mouse events stop and start occurring on the swf?

I have three buttons on screen that navigate to different places on the timeline. I have set them all up as buttons using a generic button in the library and then given them all different instance names. I selected the button and changed the text colour for each state in the timeline (up, over, down) to keep it simple. The buttons are all, as far as I can analyse, identical in all but instance name.
When I test the movie, the first button changes text colour on 'over' and, when I click (i.e. down state) the colour changes again as designed. The navigation action doesn't occur until I release the mouse button, giving the feel of having 'clicked' the button.
With the other two buttons, which have been set up as far as I can tell in exactly the same way, when the down state occurs, I see a momentary flash of the text colour change and it performs the nav straight away. I really want it to perform the same way as the first button but cannot for the life of me see why they're behaving differently.

I'm building my portfolio in as3 with a 3D panel effect with a class called panel taht i get as my main class in my the publish window. This class uses GS tweening class ton rotate on a 3D axis and to enlarge the pictures from my portfolio all this is working relatively well. Now i got an image to also turn 90 dergees for it is horizontal image nd the gallery has vertical thumbnails so i just coded this simple function to make it flip with GS of course

Any way to get this to work without using much more code? This is for a function that checks to see if a user is still logged into a website. I need the check to happen every time the user causes certain functions to run, like create topic, submit new post, etc. I could put the code, which is only a two-liner if/else statement in every function, but it would be nice to just call a single function. But that function would have to be able to cause the function that's calling it to return to get it to cease.

hopefully this is possible:
-1 large html (home.html) file houses 2 html files (aaa.html and bbb.html)
-aaa.html consists of 1 swf button
-bbb.html is empty
question: is it possible to click on the button in aaa.html and have the action occur in bbb.html? (for example, clicking the button in aaa.html will load a swf in bbb.html)

The easiest thing is if you look at my swf: [URL] Ive built a dynamic photo gallery which works from an XML database. The database contains the various gallery titles, the photo image paths and their captions.
The first page of the gallery is a thumbnail index page (lots of small preview images of the photos). The thumbnails load up one by one, they are only 1kb each but there are hundreds so takes some time. If a user clicks on one, the thumbnail movieclip is hidden with (._visible) and the photo page is shown, also with (._visible).
The problem is, the thumbnails are still being loaded in the background, so the chosen photo is not downloaded+shown until all the thumbnails have loaded. What kind of code do I need to place on the thumbnail's "onRelease" function to cancel the parent "make thumbnails" function ive made?

I'm getting the following error: Motion tweening will not occur on layers with ungrouped shapes or on layers with more than one group or symbol. I don't have any ungrouped shapes (it's all text), each layer has 5 instances of only one symbol (keyframes), no objects are grouped and text is all static text.
When watching the animation, the first word (web) looks fine, on the second word (design) the tween fails on the last couple of frames of that clip (the blur filter disappears), the third word (and) is OK, and on the forth word (development) the blur filter is not applied to the last 16 frames of that clip.I broke each animation into its own MC thinking that was causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything.

Okay in AS2 I had an array of Points. And I sorted it like this: myArray.sortOn(["x", "y"],[Array.NUMERIC, Array.NUMERIC]);I was changing the code over to AS3 and I thought I would change my array into a Vector of Points. But then I realized there isn't a sortOn method for Vectors.The sort method takes a compare function and I think I have that working. But I was wondering if there is a better or cleaner way of writing compare functions?[code]

I'm attempting to make a rewind function, but have no idea where to start.
I have a movie that spans over 60 frames and rotates. I would like the user to be able to click a button and make the movie rewind and tween to go to that frame.
For example, if the movie is on frame 55 and the user clicks a button, I want to movie to tween backwards (frame 54, frame 53, frame 52, etc etc) until it gets to frame 45.
