only issue i'm having is that if i drop the item in the zone requiring a change, and pick the item back up, it combines the shapes. I'm thinking I need to have the if statement more universal. I've uploaded my fla to rapid,I'll put my coding below as well.
It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.
I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?
I'm using Flex 4.5 and trying to take advantage of the new state groups feature. I have two States (call them readType1 and readType2) that both belong to the same stateGroup (call it readOnly). There are several places where I'd like to do something based on the current state, and it would be the same thing for the two read states. [code]...
In my air project i used current state size is width="441" height="358" . i have link button like Singin then move to singin state (currentstate='singin')
So application resize into 616,919 . After that function finished move to current state like(currentstate='') But size not be changed . How can i set the size for current state?
I want to fade all the elements of the next state when transitioning from any state.I tried different things but I can't get it to work. And I don't want to manually add transitions for every state.
Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:
[Code]...
Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?
I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?
i curious how to access state in flex "Current State" from flash movie clip??..so far i make movie clip in flash and it has button inside with name " button" and i put this flash file into flex in "state 1" flex application..i want to make event handler for "button" that trigger changing state from "state 1" to "state 2" in flex application..and in flex application i do not write anything because i have no idea how to deal with this stuff..
In as 2.0 there was a simple code like trace(_root._url) that would return the url of the actual swf file. What is the equivalent in AS3? The samples I found were all realted to window.location and other things, is there no simple code for this like in as 2?
I am trying to transfer a movie-clip staged in a swf(on local machine) to a remote server. Below is a part of the action-script code concerned with it;
function createJPG(mc:MovieClip, n:Number, fileName:String) { trace("sdf:"); var jpgSource:BitmapData = new BitmapData(mc.width,mc.height); jpgSource.draw(mc);
[Code]....
I want to close the swf when the upload is complete., I would like to know how to return a value(may be a number which I intend to use to indicate completion of file transfer) from the php script to the swf and how to receive that value in the swf?
var temp = 1 function change(out){ out = 2 return "something"
[code]....
(I would do this if I had a function that returned a value already and I needed it to output more information - I'd pass it an output variable which it would fill for me)but in AS3 that doesn't seem to work - it seems changes I make to a function argument apply only within the function.
I have an external function that needs to return a customerID value. However, it seems to be returning the initial value instead of the value that I believe is being set within the function.[code]
I am trying to save settings to an XML File and setting the relevant data if the check box is checked or not.
private static function createXMLData():void { prefsXML = <preferences/>; prefsXML.application.@windowsstart =
[Code]....
well i assume that is what the error means, it cannot get details of something that is not set yet.. so how would i get it to check and if nothing then it is obviously a "false".
When using flash remoting with amfphp, what can I write in php that will trigger the 'status' method that I set up in my Responder in Flash? Or more generally, how can I determine if the service call has failed? The ideal solution for me would be to throw some exception in php serverside, and catch that exception in flash clientside... How do other people handle server errors with flash remoting?
I am makign something which generates a random number, then proceeds to check it against a range of fields loaded from an XML file. I have checked and the fields are loading the correct numbers in, but the "if" statement is always returning 'true'. The only time I have been able to get it to properly execute is when I use numbers instead of variables. I have tried using Number(variable), but that doesn't seem to fix anything. here is my code.
ActionScript Code: on (release) { _root.colnum = Math.round(Math.random()*100); if ((_root.colnum<=_root.wballmax) && (_root.colnum>=_root.wballmin)) {
I have a setter and getter method , the getter method should return an array collection but it's always returning an empty array collection even when I've run trace to check on it.[code]...
i have a MC, that contains a button, and when i press that button i need it to send the instance name of _parent.MC (instance name is "kala") to the variable "_root.eelmine".result must be: _root.eelmine = kala;
I decided to turn this util into a class because I use it in almost all of my projects. Basically what it is is I import an XML file and it has all these HTML characters like & or and my function basically converts those strings of characters to its regular form ie: ['&' (&] or [' ' ( )]
so calling it in a FLA file would be something like this:
Code: var entity:DeEntitizeHTML = new DeEntitizeHTML("bob & jim"); and here is my class file: Code: class com.dop.DeEntitizeHTML { function DeEntitizeHTML(my_str)
[Code]....
how to return that value back to the var entity in my FLA.
Is there any method that returns the Class name of an instance as a String? I would like to then pass that String as the parameter into the getDefinitionByName() method to create a new instance of that Class (whatever it is).basically, whatever I have stored in the variable 'currentPage' (which could be any number of classes I haev written), I want to create a new instance of (therefore re-instantiating it). this will then act as the method for a 'reload' button which is designed to reload whatever the current page/activity is.
A SWF (published as AS2 for player version 9) sits on a page called home.aspx with other textual content. The SWF is a wrapper that loads in various other SWFs based on flash cookie data. Here is the problem: In I.E. (and not Firefox), sometimes the wrapper SWF hangs and fails to load the external SWFs.
The only time this happens is when returning back to this home page via another link that ends in a hash mark (home.aspx#) or to (default.aspx) which is supposed to act the same as home.aspx Also, this doesn't happen every time. Only sometimes. Anyone have any clues? I'd love to provide a link but this is on a beta server at the moment and I don't think I'm allowed to.
I have a variable which needs to be updated upon user input. It works inside the function, the trace function returns the correct type, but for a reason it wont pass it on the variable on the main timeline.[code]
var aaa:Sound = new Sound (new URLRequest ("awd awd.mp3"));aaa.play ();trace (aaa.id3.artist);
The song plays but when I try to get the song's artist / album it returns null. I also tried copying the format from live adobe help website but it still returns null.
Also I have 3 songs named 1, 2, and 3 in a folder. I made a playlist type thing and it works fine, the only problem I see is that I would have to rename 30 songs.
Is there a way that I can obtain the name of a clip's children just like I can obtain the name of it's parent by using _parent?
Basically, I have a whole bunch of MovieClips that I have created through a function that parses an XML file. Basically, it's a custom-made Tree.
I have them all set up in their proper horizontal and vertical positions, but the one thing I'm having trouble doing is closing a branch on it. I've tried storing values in arrays to help me sort all the MovieClips on the Stage, but I must confess that I'm not good with arrays at all, so is there some sort of obscure function somewhere that can return the child clips, so I can do something like:
Code: myMC.onRelease = function():Void { if (myMC.hasChildMovies() == true) for (var i:Number = 0; i < myMC.childMoviesArray.length; i++){
