I am having a hard time finding a basic math tutorial. I am new to AS3 and just need to figure out how to multiply what a user enters by a certain number when a button is pressed.
View 1 RepliesI am rather new to actionscript and having some trouble. My goal is to make a app where the user enters a decimal number and the number of decimal places and the output is displayed in a dynamic text box. Here's what I have so far:
ActionScript Code:
go_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,Display);
function round(num:Number, dp:int):Number {
var decimal:Number = Math.pow(10, dp);
trace(Math.round(decimals * num) / decimal)

I currently have a slideshow-style navigation site. There are five buttons on the bottom and when the user clicks each button, it triggers a nested movieclip to play. I would like the button to be highlighted when the corresponding movieclip is playing, but when they click another button and another movieclip plays, I want the button to go back to its original color.
The problem is that the movieclips that are playing are nested two levels down and the buttons have to be on the main timeline. I think I might need an event listener to see if a certain nested movieclip is playing, to know to change the button color. It seems to easy but I can't figure it out,
I have 1 button that when pressed 1 time should play "movieclip 1" and when hit for the second time should play "mc 2" on so on untill "mc9"(each movieclip plays continously when once activated)
so I need the button to register how many times it has been activated to play the right movie at the right time
I know I saw a script once that would work sometime, just cant find at anymore
with the following problem:I have 1 button that when hit 1 time shouldplay "movieclip 1"when hit for the second timeplays "mc 2"on so on untill mc9(each movieclip plays continously when once activated)
View 0 RepliesI am working on a project where I need a lot of calculations.I found a really strange and very annoying problem in Flash: If you try to multiply 17.4*32.8 the result is 570.7199999999999 !!! This is just a single example.In this way my application looks buggy sometimes. What's the reason for this wrong result?In my application I don't want to round the numbers .

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a code such that everytime a button is pressed a random number is generated between 0-14. With each of the 15 numbers (0-14) only being hit 10 times. I know how to create buttons and all that, its the random number thing thats stopping me.I created it using arrays in another programing language and tried to translate it to flash but I was unsuccessful. this is generally what i got
ActionScript Code:
var events:Array = new Array();
var order:Array = new Array();
var used:Array = new Array();

I am trying to write the code for making a text input control in flex. As the user enters the value in text input control and then if he removes the typed characters to make the text input blank, then I print error message via StringValidator. But I want the focus to be set on that text input only until the user enters anything. How can I achieve that?
View 2 Replieshow can you go to the next text field when user enters a letter.I've created an array that saves the text box selected by the user.The crossword boxs are named from b1 to b59 and within these MC there the a textfield that named - textfld.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have an input text box with the instance name of input_txt and a dynamic text field named output_txt. I'm trying to do something with the dynamic field when the user has entered text into the input field. So far, this is what I have:
input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, update);
function update(event:TextEvent):void {
output_txt.text = "foobar";
}
I don't know if this is valid ActionScript 3.0. I am getting an error that says "the class 'TextEvent' could not be loaded."
I have an editable combobox. How can I bind the text the user enters? I can only do binding when the user selects whatever it is they typed in...how can I bind it as they type?
View 1 RepliesI am working on a simple math game for kids. It is nearly complete but the problem I have is that when the user enters their answer in the input textfield, the numbers are entered from left to right. Most people do math problems from right to left. Is there a way to make the numbers appear from right to left? I am thinking that I would have to use an eventlistener on the number keys and also use parse text or arrays somehow to manipulate the numbers.
View 4 RepliesFor an input field - i need to have some action when user enters something in the input field and hit ENTER.I am using this: but with this user can hit enter anywhere on the screen and get the action- i need to have it only when user selects the input field.

myNewObject.onKeyDown = function() {[code]...
I currently have an input text field where the user can enter their text.The text to be entered say is Adobe. First letter is Caps and rest small.In whatever probability the user enters the text the system should accept it as correct. For example: Adobe, adobe, adobE, ADOBE etc etc
View 4 Replieshow can I get Flash to find the difference (in days) between two dates that the user enters? For example if I have six input text boxes and I call them:
day1
month1
year1
day2
month2
year2
respectively, how can I get a dynamic text box called, say, "output" to find the difference between two dates that the user enters into the six text boxes, e.g.
day1 - The user enters 03
month1 - The user enters 09
year 1 - The user enters 2006
day2 - The user enters 25
month2 - The user enters 12
year2 - The user enters 2006
How do I get Flash to find the difference between today and Christmas?
First of all, props to Informatik at Actionscript.org for the following code. This is a profanity filter that will perform an action when it detects a word from an array. The problem is, it fails when the user enters only a single word:
Code:
var filteredWords:Array = new Array("apple", "grape", "orange", "watermelon");
submitBtn.onPress = function():Void{
if(checkFilteredWords(inputText.text) == true)[code].....
The code uses split(" ") to detect a space which is obviously causing the problem of failing to detect one word offenders. But without this, the filter would detect profanity in a word like "assets".
a) A full moon is there on the screen in which Name and Password field is there.
b)The movement the user types his name and password and after pressing enter the moon should fade for some other animation.
Is action script needed for this?.
Am just a sort of general flash animator I don't know how to do things differently.
The animation further should continue where a steel door should open, two velvet ropes should be pulled aside which will make the bookcase wall swivels around to reveal the next animation
how to achieve point a and b.I will try pondering the rest on opening the steel door and pulling the velvet ropes that swivels the bookcase and goes to reveal another animation....
So I am a complete novice at actionscript as was evident in my attempts to figure this out on my own. I have the following code to control the "Songs" section of my website and I would like the following features:
1. Not have the music automatically start when the user enters the frame. (I thought this was due to line 3 code but it still played after I deleted that code)
2. Add a "Back" button to go back 1 song.I currently have it set up with the following code on my "Songs" Page:

I have a project in Flash Mx 2004. On the first frame there is a menu with 4 menu items. When the user clicks an item, they are taken to another frame with some text and an exit button that takes them back to the menu. The forward button will not become active until all of the menu items have been viewed. There is no particular order for the items to be viewed, just that they all be viewed before the forward arrow is active and the user can continue. I tried puttin an action on the exit button to disable the related menu item, however, the item just resets back to enabled each time a user re-enters the frame.
View 1 RepliesI have a uiloader component that loads in images, there's a back button and a next button. Im trying to hide the back button when the user is viewing image number 1. The problem is when the site loads the back button is visible even though the source is image 1. If you cycle through the images to image 1 then it disappears? why?
heres my code for my imageloader:

I have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?
I am trying to work something out, but I am not really good in scripting so I can't figure out how to write the code properly.The situation is a bit complex:I have one frame labeled "street". From "street" you can enter another page labeled "underground" when you press a button. In "underground" there's a button "exitU_btn" that brings you back to "street".So far this wasn't a problem. Now I have another page labeled "F2016" from which you can enter "underground",too, but this time when pressing "exitU_btn" I don't want it to return to "street" but return to "F2016".Means the button should know the label I am coming from and returning to this one.I started to write a bit code for that with if statements, but don't know how exaxtly to write it.
Code:
var enter2016: Boolean = false;
/*should decide where I am coming from, which label (I guess this is what has to be defined somehow)*/
stop();[code]........
I thought I need a boolean to check if my situation is right, but I don't know how to code it right.
I have a very strange problem. I recently finished a website,[URL]However if you try to enter the first button (in firefox) it enters the new swf and then freezes... HOWEVER. When I try this in Internet Explorer it works just fine. Is it actionscript which acts different in browsers, do I have to type differently or add exceptions?Through the .js file I found out there is a opera and IE exception..
View 0 RepliesI'm trying to create a set of 4 vertically arranged buttons that 'split' apart when those buttons are pressed. For example, if you click the topmost (1st) button, the bottom three buttons will drop down so submenus (for the 1st button) can now be revealed beneath. Again, when you click the 2nd button from the top, the bottom two buttons drop down, revealing submenus, and so on.
Now, is there a way that I can use actionscripting to tween the buttons to not only motion tween a drop down when a button is first pressed, but also to motion tween the button to return up to its original spot when another button is then pressed? Right now, I have two keyframes, side-by-side which each containing a different y-scale value for an object. Can I do some actionscripting to get the object to motion tween upward to its original spot instead of "clicking," or snapping back to is original spot when another button is pressed?
I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

What button event should I use to make the program understands to DO SOMETHING only when the button is pressed/dragged. In my sample code below, I want something to happens only if the button is dragged beyond 200 in y axis. I tried onRelease, onRollOver and onDragOver but still not working

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?
