ActionScript 3.0 :: Run A Function When My Program Starts?

Oct 21, 2009

I am totally new to AS3.0 and OOP in general, so this is a very basic question I can't seem to figure out.I have a package.Inside that package is a class.

Inside that class is a function that initializes a timer called setTimer()

I am trying to run setTimer() when the program starts, but it seems that wherever I put the line setTimer(); in the program, I get an error.How and where can I run this function just once when the program starts, so I can initialize my timer?

Actionscript 3.0 :: When The 3-d Function Gets Added It Starts Tween All Weirdly Shape?

Jul 21, 2009

I have a question regarding TweenMax and the way it tweens MovieClips. Here is what I have.

1. I have a rectangle movie clip on stage (width:20, height:20). When you click it, it expands (to width:650, height:350) and gets a 3-d function attached so it reacts to mouseXY position (like Lees 3-d photo tutorial). This part works fine.

2. I click it again and it retracts to its original small size (width:20, height:20). This also seems to work fine.

Problem: When I click it again it expands (to width:650, height:350), but when the 3-d function gets added it starts tween all weirdly shape and not the way it is intended.Here is my class

Code: Select allpackage
{
import flash.display.Sprite;[code].........

ActionScript 2.0 :: LoadSound Starts Fine, Then A Second Starts Replaying Again?

Apr 8, 2006

I've got a site that is using loadSound to play some mp3s and it works fine. however, the sound starts to stream, and then replays itself like a second later. my guess is that its playing faster than the load is going and when it gets to the point where it hasn't loaded enough, it starts to replay it, but i'm not sure that that is the exact problem. my code:

[Code]...

now, i tried making a playTrack function that i can call with setTimeout and i put that in the onLoad in place of track.start(), but that didn't work either (i was hoping to not start playing the track for 3 seconds to give it some time to buffer).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mathematical Function That Will Return A Number Based On A Graph That Starts At 0?

Sep 23, 2009

I'm completely useless at maths due to paying no attention whatsoever to it in school when I was a kid so forgive my lack of knowledge of basic terminology.I need a mathematical function that will return a number based on a graph that starts at 0, curves to (eg.) 100 and then curves back down to 0. I have a feeling it has something to do with Math.sin or somesuch wizardry but am not sure.Basically, I want to feed it a number between (eg.) 0 - 60 and for it to return a number on aforementioned curve. The purpose of this is to be applied as a lateral force on some basic ball physics. The idea of the 'curve' is that (depending on timing of the shot) there will be a 'sweetspot' in the timing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Program-Wide Function / Stage Properties

Mar 3, 2012

1) In my program, I am wanting to create a function that would take in the height and width of a loader object, compare them to the stage dimensions, and then scale the object in question before it is added to the display list. However, I have several different types of classes that I want to make use of this functionality. So what would be better, to create a NEW class that would have to be created each time a resize needed to occur, and is imported by all needed classes, or just have a function within each already existing object and copy that function to every class's scope that needs it? Would this be resolved by placing the function in question inside of the default package?

2) When accessing stage properties, are they a global or a relative scope? i.e.[code]would those two statements produce the same value regardless of whether they were in the default package or inside of 1300 classes? Or is the stage scope relative to some degree?

Flash8 : Run A Flash Program From Another Flash Program?

Jan 29, 2010

I have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make Mc Invisible When The Swf Starts

Mar 22, 2011

After a few years of using Flash I am creating my first project in AS3 and am running into some problems which are quite common involving targeting movieclips and controlling them. Basically I have a fla which has an MC on the timeline with an instance name of INFO_MC. Now i want this MC to be invisible when the swf starts and I have managed this by using the following code: Actionscript Code: INFO_MC.visible = false;

This is fine. However I get stuck when I try to make INFO_MC visible when I click a button in a loaded swf. How would I target INFO_MC from a button inside a loaded swf. Do I need to add an event to the button and then have a listener on the root timeline which would turn INFO_MC visible when it hears that the button has been clicked?

Actionscript 3 :: Flash Preloader Only Starts At 90%?

The preloader does show for a moment when the loading is at around 90%.I have unchecked 'export to first frame' since that's what the Internet told me to do, but there are so many different tutorials for nearly every version of Flash/AS around that I'm rather confused; not sure how to fix this.My preloader code is as follows:

stop();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loading);

Flash :: Stop A Video Before It Starts?

Jun 12, 2011

I'm comfortable with PHP and Javascript but this is the first time I'm using flash. I have Flash CS5.

I've managed to import a movie file, however, as soon as it's downloaded it starts playing. I've tried using the Action stop(); coding, which works file in the export preview in CS5, but on a website it runs straight away.

I know I can't use the command because that stops the timeline but by then the video is already playing. My solution would be to use and have the video in frame 2, then get javascript to jump to frame 2 when I was ready. However, I can't find a way to import a video file to a frame in CS5. Is there a better way?
