ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Object Based On Tween Status?
Mar 12, 2010
When the yellow_btn is clicked the function explosion is executed. This function displays an object called spark on the stage and makes visible a video clip called house_mc which was previously hidden.
I use a tween to fade the house video into view gradually as it plays and that brings me to my dilemma. When I start this tween I want the spark object to disappear from the stage. To do this I assigned a variable name of endit to my tween and am adding an Event Listener to endit to determine when the tween starts, at which point I want to execute the function stopSpark and remove the spark image from the stage. The code doesn't give me an error but the spark continues to display during and after the video has finished.
yellow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,explo sion);
function explosion(e:MouseEvent):void
{
addChild(spark)

I made a little flash presentation where a bulb increases in brightness as the mouse goes over it and decreases as the mouse goes out. I set up the object on the stage and created a motion tween equal to 30 frames in which the object starts dull and increases in brightness. To control it, I made this little script:
ActionScript Code:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, startScan);
mcBulbLit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, startShow);
function startShow(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(31);
} function startScan(event:Event):void {
[Code] .....
For some reason the bulb only goes back one frame and then stops at that frame.

How do I go about creating a socket based status reporting system for an AIR app? What I have in mind, is you connect to the app via socket connection with some sort of terminal. It presents you with a list of options, you issue commands back, and it reports back any stats and messages. (This is for an app running on a remote kiosk, connected via 3G.)

What is the correct syntax to calculate an XML object's loading status and relay the value to a movieclip? I'm using the following, but nothing's happening. The math is being loaded but the movieClip doesn't change size.
xmlLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, barProgress);
function barProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
var loaded:Number=event.target.bytesLoaded/event.target.bytesTotal;
barPro.scaleX=loaded;
}
My barPro movieclip remains the same size.rong?

I am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user I want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function. This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.
Here is my code I have so far:
//shared object - cookie
newUser_test = SharedObject.getLocal("newUser");
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "new user";
newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {
newUser.text = "new user";
} newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "previous user";
newUser_test.flush();
}

I am trying to do a apply a tween for the width property on a MovieClip Object but every time it changes the width and the position too, and I don't want that. I want to change the width going to one side without changing the x and y of the object.
I tried both of thes and they gave the same result.
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "scaleX", Strong.easeOut, 1, 1.5,20,true);
var c:Tween = new Tween(left, "width", Strong.easeOut, 20, 200,20,true);
I think it is applying the transformation according to a center of the movie clip. but I don't know how it can be changed.

I've been fumbling with this issue for a bit. I've got a lovely little tooltip movieclip that follows the user's mouse for a few seconds before it removes itself. My problem is that if there is one already there I remove it, however, I cannot seem to remove the Motion_Finish event and it still fires and possibly deletes a new tooltip. What I want is to essentially put in a line item such as:
var tween(smallhelp_panel).deleteAll();
I saw a tweenlight function killtweensof(mc); However I've used the tweens I've incorporated below throughout my 30k lines of AS3 code.
Here is my tooltip handler. I call it with a simple
Main_Warning("Please don't forget to save!",5);
My movieclip is a 'smallhelp_panel' and I check if it already exists and remove it. However, the alpha and MOTION_FINISH tweens still exist and cause issues with any new smallhelp_panels.
public function Main_Warning( the_text:String, myTimer:int = 4){
if(smallhelp_panel != null){
stage.removeChild( smallhelp_panel );

I'm trying to dynamically addChild a Sprite to an already tweened MovieClip (tweened on the Flash timeline).
Let's say ObjectA is the tweened object, I published it in my swc and linked it to my Actionscript project in Flash Builder. I make an instance of ObjectA in my class, and then try to do the following:
var objectA:ObjectA = new ObjectA();
var objectB:ObjectB = new ObjectB();
objectA.addChild(objectB);
addChild(objectA);
Now, the problem is, objectB doesn't tween along with objectA. Is there any logical solution to this?

its a simple 6 thumbnail gallery with coded tweens. Once a thumbnail is clicked then its attached larger image is meant to display on the screen, this seems to only work after the first click of a thumbnail once the image appears then is clicked it dissapears, and this function only used to work once but now it only works twice, exept the second time around the larger image cannot be removed from the stage, could it be a swapDepths issue?here is my code, i have only fully coded the first thumbnail top left. find attached my swf for the file,

I've highlighted where the problem is occurring. Now, I think what I'm trying to do is remove an object from within another object. I think the object I'm trying to remove is actually on the root.

Basically if I have a sprite for example located at (10,10) I want to move it to say (50,100) and the whole process to take 2 seconds or whatever duration I specify. What is the exact math behind this? I was using a distance based solution to determine speed but was just using a random modifier to control the process. I need something more precise to execute exactly over a set duration.

rotating an object based on 90 degrees. For example, I only want the characters rotation values to be 0, 90, 180, or 270 based on the angle between the mouse and an object. I used to know a formula that worked right into the atan2 method, however sadly I had forgotten it

I found a basic example of how to create something that'll shoot an object and create an arc based on an angle. I added a power Bar to it, but I noticed something bad about it.
The way it works the higher the speed is the further it goes and the faster it moves across the screen. This doesn't give me enough control. Because essentially I want fast moving projectiles but I want to also be able to shoot both near and far.
With this current system that's an impossibility.. Can anyone shed some light on how I can do this better? Here's the current way it's being done (important parts):
Code:
bullet = new Bullet;
this.stage.addChild(bullet);
bullet.speed = 1 + powerBar.scaleX * 20;

I've received a number of graphics from an Illustrator user - they imported as symbols containing drawing objects. When I opened one of these symbols and tried to tween (fade out) the drawing object, I don't have the Alpha option. I don't use Illustrator myself and I had to install CS4 so I'm not used to that either.

I am trying to shape tween from a simple vector object to a number of complex vector objects, but the same problem occurs when trying to go from one simple object to two.
Instead of slowly/smoothly splitting the initial object into two, it just copies them and they move apart from each until reaching the final two object forms. As if this wasn't bad enough, they are also connected by a random straight line. Ugly.
I guess I can understand why this happens, but is there no way to tell it to make the transition in another way? Shape hints tend to make the problem even worse.

I need to remove the value associated with a property in a Flex 3 associative array; is this possible?
For example, suppose I created this array like so:
var myArray:Object = new Object();
myArray[someXML.@attribute] = "foo";
Later, I need to do something like this:
delete myArray[someXML.@attribute];
However, I get this error message at runtime:
Error #1119: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList.
How do I perform this operation?
