ActionScript 3.0 :: Permanent Change Of Variable By User?
Jul 14, 2009
i would like to see if it is possible to have a user permanently change a variable that is utilized in the website. for instance, the width of a line is set to 1.0 in the script - through a keystroke the user can change that width to 2.0. what i would like to happen is have the value of 2.0 be permanently set so that when the next person visits the site, the width is set to 2.0. i know this is a simple example, but i would like to get the concept down first before i venture into writing out the script and doing something more interesting with it.
i would like to put the letter "m" in my main movie and let it permanently rotate aroung its own axis. is this possible with as? i tried a tween effect but it looked horrible. later (when i know a little bit more about flash and as) i want to make the letter "m" 3d like on kimble.org (the k on the flash site)
I have a MovieClip symbol created with flash in a fla file library. There is a textfield in frame one of this movieclip's timeline . There is another frame in the movieclip timeline. There is a custon class definition for this symbol. It is a flipping card in a memory game.
I access the textfield by going to frame 2 (gotoAndStop(2)) and setting the textfield's text property ( this.field.text = "hello" ). However if I go to frame 1 and then return to frame 2, the text becomes the original one in the library's symbol. I have to modify the text propery again in a showFace method I've written.
Besides, I cannot pass parameters in the constructor because it is a symbol in the library and that would give errors.Is there a way I can set properties inside frames permanently?
was wondering how you could make a rollover/rollout over an swf and change the image without reverting back to the original image. For instance, or more specifically,How would you create the effect where you have a permanent change on a mouserollover so that it does not go back to the original design? I made two movie clips and I put them together so that now when the mouse rollsover or you click on the original movie clip, the second movie clip is played, but the second movie clip gets cut off as soon as the mouse moves away and reverts to the original movie clip. I also wanted to stop the second movie clip from looping or replaying if clicked upon - just play once

I have been banging my head against a brick wall regarding the following problem which must be very simple to fix, just can't see the answer.I have a class assigned to a movieclip called canvas. The class is called drawClass. I have called the instance of canvas on the stage 'drawingCanvas'.When I trace "drawingCanvas" I get object drawClass] which is fine. Tracing drawingCanvas.name gets me the instance name 'drawingCanvas'.This is a String variable.Basically what I am trying to do is pass the MovieClip name to another class. In my example the class 'toolBar', which can then interact with the MovieClip.
The problem is passing 'drawingCanvas.name' results in a String, so I get an error saying :TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "canvasArea" to flash.display.MovieClip.I can't for love or money find a way to convert a String variable to a MovieClip variable! I have the name of the MovieClip, I just need to tell the toolbar class. But I can't find a way of doing this as the instance on stage is an object of drawingClass, not a MovieClip (unless MovieClips with attached classes are not treated as standard MovieClips?).
I am creating a flash animation for my physics class. I am demestrating free fall. I know how to create a free fall object, but how would I make it so that the user can change the gravity?
I'm attempting to make a very simple drawing programme. There will be maybe 4/5 buttons. Three of them when you click on the change the color of the line the user draws. the other two will change the line thickness. I've tried setting up a variable to set to how thick the line should be depending on the button the user has pressed.But it has no effect - i'm guessing that's because the variable only exists within the confines of the function that I have it in.[code]
I'm creating a board game which has 3 variables, p1Move, p2Move and activePlayer. p1Move and p2Move store the p1 and p2 location on a game board. activePlayer stored who's turn it is at the moment.
I am loading a value in from a text file which changes the value of move. This all works fine when i designate a player directly:
so that flash changes the value of p1Move (or p2Move depending on who's turn it is) to varAmount. varAmount is the variable being read from the textfile.
Hopefully that all makes sense. Basically i want flash to change the variable associated with the active player only.
I'm trying to change Flex 3 ToggleButtonBar dataprovider on user or admin log in. I'm trying to use 2 viewstack, and I've got a component where the login form is in the component. What should I do to define the dataprovider based on user log in?
I am trying to change the z-index when you a user clicks on one of my movieclips. I get this error and am not sure how to resolve it. If anyone has a few minutes to view the code I posted below that would be awesome.
Here is the error I am getting: TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
instead of setting the intervals, i want to change it into something like adding a textbox for users to enter the intervals. and i also want to try to change the codes so that only when the user click, then the arrow would move. so its two separate favors.... 1.adding textbox.... 2.using onMouseDown function to move the arrow.
I want to print the user's IP address in Flash via a PHP script, but keep getting an undefined variable (printed as "undefined"). Here's my PHP script:
PHP Code: <?php // Script for getting IP $yourip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; echo ("yourip=".$yourip); ?> [Code] .....
I have a PopUpButton that only contains 2 actions. Both actions are complete opposites of each other and switches a boolean property on an object from true to false or false to true. To avoid redundancy, I've only displaying one action at a time. So, if the property is true, the action to change it to true is not shown.
If my PopUp menu has a single option, I would like to remove the menu from being shown and basically revert the PopUpButton to act and look like a regular button. So far, I haven't really found a good way to do that in ActionScript without adding, removing or modifying styles for the button.
Is there a nice way to simply tell the button to hide the PopUp toggle? PS: In my specific example, YES it might be easier if I just used a toggle button. However, I want to reuse this button when dealing with an Array of objects. If I have more than one, the property could be true and false at the same time. In that case, I want to show the menu so they can choose what option to set all the object's properties to.
Is it posible to make a flash site, which will change the size when the vistors resolution is diferent? Practicly, every visitor will see the same size of the site, even if he has 800x600 or 1280x1024??Maybe making html go fullscreen but make the swf occupy only 80% of the screen, so it always have the same proportion to the users monitors.Do you have any example?
How do i get the font to change when the user types encode in the Input box then presses enter and then it changes the font in the Output box (which is dynamic) and also embed the font in the output box. So when they type inteh input box the font changes in the Output box.

I am trying to compare a user inputted string to a variable already created. When I do this with int it works fine but when I try changing it to strings I can't get it to work.
I want to know if I have variables inside amovie clip that get some values after user contact and I want to use this values in other frames in the main timeline.
If the persons name is only 3 letters I want the font size to be 120 but based on the amount of characters, I would like to shrink the font size in order to fit the whole name inside the text field. I was playing with autosize, but couldn't get it to work.
making a textfield font size auto adjust accordingly?
I'm looking at some requirements for an upcoming flash project. One requirement is for the browser url in the address bar to change as a user clicks around in the flash movie so that a user might copy/paste said address into an email and another visitor will be brought to the same location. Is this possible?
I have a separate html page that does this with a php script,reating that php file which is just a form that allows users to enter a passcode that I provide them which will then simply link them to an external html page. Since I don't know about php, I am thinking a possible work around would be to have a text input box which would allow a user to enter (passwordA) then click Submit to load (pageX.hmtl) or they could enter (passwordB) and Submit would load (pageY.html)
This seems like someting I should already know but I am working on a user interface that I want to be skinable. I have about 8 different graphical elements and I want to change the appearance of these 8 different movieClips just by clicking a single button. I thought I would just create a new keyframe in my main time line and then manipulate the movieClips but that changed the appearance of the movie clip on frame 1 as well. Clarification: I want to change the color of my user interface background and I want to change the color of some clickable images as well. I want frame 1 to have a white background and I want frame 2 to have a red background. Do I need to create more movie clips and drag them onto my stage or can I just use the existing movieClips since all I really want to do is change colors?

Is this even possible?
How can I change the speed of a moving car based on values input by user? Also, how can I make Flash calculate values of a function based on those input values?
I have a scroll pane component with SWFs loaded in them vertically like a PDF viewer. I need to be able to change the page indicator when the user scrolls. I have an event listener on the scroll pane listening for scroll. I have an array of the Y values of each page; looks something like this: 0,800,1600,2400,3200 etc What kind of equation would I do to determine the correct number. My scroll event looks like this:
At run time, Is it possible to detect the 'Connection Speed of the user' and change the way my preloader works? Say If the user is on a Dial up connection then play the initial 50% of the movie that has been loaded while loading the remaining 50% in background, If the user is on DSL or cable then load the entire 100% movie and so on.
