I am having a problem with the if statement in my timer function, the trace statement within in it is not working, eventually I wanted to use this if statement further but need to make sure it is working first.
Code:
timerFunction();
} function call in function above
function timerFunction() {
trace("hey");//this trace works
var myTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,15);

I have a movieclip with the instance name information_mc. I am trying to get this movieclip to move up and down, depending on its y co-ord or in what direction it is tweening at the moment it is clicked.I have the following AS:

var curMovement:String = "goingup";

If I have a movie clip with named frames, can I reference the frame names in an if-else statement? For instance,
if (frame name = "frame1")
gotoAndStop.frame2;
etc. Is that doable?
I have a class 'resizingObject', with a method 'addFunction()', which is instantiated in _root as 'resizer' (im certain of this - ive checked in the debug - variables list)
I then have another class, 'layerObject', that i want to be able to call the 'addFunction()' method - so inside the layerObject i tried _root.resizer.addFunction(), _level0.resizer.addFunction() and all manner of other business but to no avail...even an attempt to trace _root.resizer returns undefined.
why cant i acces the resizer instance of the resizingObject?
In a new document when I create a movie clip on the stage and reference it in a script in the first keyframe, like aaa.scaleX = 0.2;, everything works fine.
But when I try this in the game I'm making, I get this error "1120: Access of undefined property aaa.". Why?
In my game I use a document class, here is the code that is executed at the beggining.

I'm an old C programmer been away from programming for years. Now we have a project requiring Flash and I've been elected. Just installed CS4. I have 16 panels in 4 sets of 4 that rotate left to right. (Big learning curve on that one - fading transitions in the right order...). Each panel must have a unique url when clicked. (16 urls).I've looked through many solutions, most of which seem unduly complex. I think that the simplest short of going to onRelease() with AS2 (Later I have to add mouseover changes in the graphics) is something like this:[code]I haven't found this solution out there. Is there a gotcha because the a#Link vars are accessed as global within the scope of handleLink? It doesn't feel right, but it works fine and 16 global variables doesn't seem too bad.
View 2 Replieson my main timeline i have a movie clip called "screen" within that i have a dynamic text box for inputing a number. var for text box is txt_1
on the same timeline i have another mc called "animation" withing that i have a mc called "prizes" there are 2 animations in the prizes movie clip that are supposed to run based on the if statement...i have an action assigned to the prizes as below:
//this.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (_root.screen.txt_1 == "11111") {
prizes.gotoAndPlay('prizes1');[code]........
but this is not working...basically i want to say that is the text that was inputed was "11111" play the first prize animation inside the "prizes" mc, and if its "22222" play the second prize animation in the "prizes" mc.what am i doing wrong?
I'm sure I have the conditions and statements typed in wrong. Here is the original code:[code]only now I want to add an if/else statement so that if none of the mouseDown conditions are met, it then goes the the Timeout variable:[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a button which makes a panel flip 180 on the x axis if its name is not in an array called "panes", it determines this by running an if statement. If its name is in the array then the button should run some code to make the panel flip back. However it isn't. It will let the panel flip one way, but doesn't run the code to flip it back. I was wondering if someone could take a look a see if they know why.
View 4 RepliesFor some reason my if statement is not working. It is in a movie clip of a blinking eye and I want the code to pause the blink for 4 seconds between blinks.The movie clip does not have an instance name (which may be the problem).Frames 1-12 is the eye blink animation. (no script)

When I run the movie, the varaibles change like they should according to the time, but for some reason, it skips over the if statement even is timeYet is greater than timeDelay. I probably labeled the variables wrong, but I do how they should be.

If i am right this should make win11 flicker 4 times but it aint:confused: I dont need to use a onEnterFrame for this do i?
Here's my code:
Global variable _level0.menu_2 is populated with one of 5 values. Function exists for each value. The function for the value should only be called if the _level0.menu_2 variable matches the value. What is happening is that even though _level0.menu2 is correctly populated, only the first if statement executes--even if the first condition is NOT met.
I looked all around and can't figure out what's wrong. As far as I can tell (and I've been over the code character for character) the syntax is correct.
function loadMenu2():Void{
if (_level0.menu_2 = value1){
trace("_level0.menu_2 is value1");
value1();

I am currently connecting to a PHP string in actionscript. While I'm having no trouble importing the variables like so:
Code:
this(variable);
I am having trouble referencing the same variable while inside a function:
Code:
_root.ButtonMovie.onRelease = function() {
this(variable);
}
I really need to reference the variable while INSIDE the onRelease function, because I need to apply some actions based on how many times the button has been pressed.
i was wondering how i would access the desired movieclip's x, and y value from it's function.[code]HOW do i access the x and y values of MC from here
like you would use "this._x" in AS2, how would i do that here?
In my code here:
var manTimer:Timer = new Timer(1700,5);
manTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveMan);
function moveMan(e:TimerEvent):void {[code].....
I am trying to get it so that when btnElScorcho or btnTheGoodLife is clicked it'll move my "man" mc out onto the stage. It starts at 590px and ends at -10px. That part is working.What is not working is my conditional statement that tells it to only move the "man" if he is at the x position of 590 or greater, because, when one of the 2 buttons is clicked again, I don't want to move him out if he is already there or if he is already moving out.So for some reason, "man" will still move when the buttons are clicked a second time and oddly enough, "man" will only move twice as opposed to the normal 5 times set in the function.Maybe I can change the if statement to check if the button has already been clicked as opposed to where "man" is?
I have the following in my script:[code]where eProp is an Array.Tracing the eProp[3], shows the correct number (1 or 2) but the statement always jumps to the default part!In other words: If eProp[3] is 1 or 2, the switch do nothing, jumps to default.[code]What is wrong? AS can't evaluate Arrays? Or I did something wrong?

wrote a couple of small games using AS 2.0. One of the things I found easiest about AS 2.0 is that a MovieClip created using _root. attachMovieClip() inside of one function was accessible to every other function. For instance:
Code:
function AddClip() {
TheClip = _root.attachMovie("Object", "TheClip"+ClipCount, _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:30, _y:30})
}[code]....
This causes an error, because the MovieClip variable was declared inside of a function and when the function ended, the MovieClip variable was erased. Is there any way of doing this without declaring the MovieClip variable outside of the function? I want to be able to create an unknown amount of these movieclips on the fly, so I can't just declare them outside of the function.
I understand this, _parent keywords and its usage but I don't understand the following:
MovieClip.prototype.move = function() {
function toRight() {
this._x=50;

I have a students xml from a database. The student_state column can have a value of "passed", among other values (hence the need for switch statement). When the list_changeHandler function is called, depending on the value of student_state, I want a form to display different fields. So I tried to dynamically create the form in actionscript, but it fails to show up when I run the flex application:
import mx.containers.Form;
import mx.containers.FormItem;
import mx.containers.HBox;[code].....

I am a total newbie and just learning from resources available here.. Today i was trying If statements to verify if the password entered in input box named "pass" . I code is as following..

}else{
gotoAndPlay(15);
}}
Even if I enter the correct password it displays the content in frame 15.
I have created menu which has roll over and out animations.What I am trying to achieve is to play the roll over animation when rolling over the menu, but stop the roll out animation IF the focus has been set on a specific movieclip.[cod]I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but if I trace the stage focus inside the if statement nothing happens, but it works if I trace it on else statement(gives null) which means that the if statement is bypassed and the else is played.
View 7 Repliessw1 = text input
asw1 = text input
My problem is that is sw1 when I put in "188" it gives me "28.73" instead of "209.43". If I put in "2" it gives me "28.73" instead of "21.78". So it really doesn't work. My other "If" "Else If" statement works.
Code:
protected function sw1_changeHandler(event:TextOperationEvent):void{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

I have a picture loader to load pictures on a website I am making and I want it to check for a picture and if the picture is not at the url, I want it to run a function and not throw an error. I tried using try catch but it didn't work so I tried using an IOEventListener and that still didn't work.
View 2 Repliesi have made a navigation banner in flash for a blog site, but the banner is giving me trouble in Internet Explorer. The Flash file has two buttons, one for "Log In" and one for "Log Out", that are supposed to be visible/invisible depending on whether or not the user is logged in to the blog or not. To achieve this, I have set up a Param tag that checks to see if the user is logged in or not, and then reports this true or false data to the Flash movie as being either "1" or "0" in the form of a variable. The Actionscript in Flash then uses this data to make one button visible, and the other not visible.This is working perfectly in Firefox, but for some reason in Internet Explorer (tested in IEv8) both buttons are visible at all times. Both Firefox and Internet Explorer are running the same version of FlashPlayer (v10).[Code]...
