ActionScript 3.0 :: Running 2 For Loops At The Same Time?
Sep 2, 2010
I have the following 'for' loop runningit animates squares so they fall down the page and land in rows.Once a row has landed I need to fade up an image on some of the squares. But I can't seem to run anything till the entire for loop is ended... any suggestions? I think I really need to run another routine at the same time, but how do you run 2 'for' loops at the same time?
ActionScript Code:
var testArray:Array=new Array("34","103","172","242","311","380","449","518","587","656","725","794","863");
I am making a banner for my web which consists of jigsaw puzzle pieces (40pieces) moving and positioning until they cover the whole banner.I have stored all final positions (x and y) into 2 separate arrays and created 40 instances (i have 20Mclips and i repeat each one twice to get those 40). What i wanted is make each intance move separatly like with a timer and for loop to pick each piece, do the moves with tweenings and wait around 1sec and then do the next loop with and then move the next piece and so on and so forth.My problem is that I dunno how to cycle through each piece (named and in an array) and make the specific move without doing it all at once.
How I can make the particle properties refresh every time it loops. In other words, the rotations will be random every time I test the movie, but every time it loops, they remain in their same random positions it chose at the beginning. [code]...
I'm a newbie to Flash. I have created a basic screensaver which has 8 different layers. 7 are hidden and 1 plays through as it is now. I was wondering if there is any way that on completing the timeline, it starts the timeline again and then shows the second layer and masks the 1st one. It would then do the same, masking the 2nd layer and showing the 3rd and so on.
I have no idea how to use AS3 and I was needing to make my project looping 3 times from the start to the end but stopping on the last frame after the 3rd time it loops. I have no idea how to do this without copying all the frames.
I'd like to find the best way to calculate the actual time for the animation to be played. In my scenario, I have a button to start animation and button to stop it. Animation is set to run 3 second. I'd like to know how long the animation did ran after I press the stop button.

I'm using an mp3player skin, but the running time won't work (bottom of code)--it stays at "0:00" when you hit play. Everything else is working fine.[code]
I have a problem with two functions. This is the story: the user has to press the space button on keyboard when he sees something on screen, then the "rightClick" function is called. If he presses the button when there is something else on screen that is a wrong answer (function "wrongClick" is called). The problem is that when the user presses the space button both function run at the same time.
This is the call of the wrongtClick function on frame 5 stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, wrongPress); This is the call of the rightClick function on frame 10 stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rightPress);
Both function are very simple: function rightPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void { scorenum += 1; trace ("Right:",scorenum); } function wrongPress(event:KeyboardEvent):void { wrongnum += 1; trace ("Wrong:", wrongnum); //and plays a sound too }
I want to display the current time into a dynamic text box. The time comes correct but the seconds is not running... I want live seconds. what modification should i do to my following code?
In my case, the timer I make doesn't reduce its time whenever a function is called. What code will I change or add in order to reduce the time in my timer? [code]At this point the timer.start(); is placed on a frame so that the timer starts as it enters the frame.
I have a strange problem. When I run an exe projector that I exported from flash cs5.5, and on few of my client's computers it running very slow in full screen.When I running an swf file (not exe projector), also in full screen, it running well!I checked my clients computer hardware, and it match the system requirements of flash player.
I have a problem in Flash Site uploading.That is, i have created a flash site & in the dreamweaver i inserted the flash site as insert -> media -> Shockwave.The site is running inside the dreamweaver but when i publish it, flashsite is not running.
Shouldn't flash detect these before running the script and crashing and having to force quit and restart (and flash startup takes a while)? Like just give an error: infinite for loop or something? And this happened to me a bunch when working with for loops within for loops, when I accidentally used the same variable for both loops, so of course it never ended and crashed flash.
The scenario is to create a lotto game that matches 6 user inputted numbers with 7 randomly generated numbers. The 7th number is a special case (eg bonus ball) WOULD LIKE TO SHOW A KIND HEARTED FALSH GENIUS ALL OF THE SCRIPT IF POSS! (its not tooo long) This code works, but it just outputs the default message: There seems to be a problem with my arrays not comparing? Part of the code is: (prioir to this the user inputs numbers, they are copied to text areas beginning with O, on a button press) On a second button press randomly generated number appear to a timer. //compareResult checks how many numbers match between the two sets of numbers to determine winnings.
I have section of code which works for bouncing some fish movie clips off of the 'ceiling':[code].....
However, I would like to find a more succinct way to program this using a 'for loop'. I tried the following, which did not work and gave me an error (posted at the bottom). [code].....
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.at Function/<anonymous>()
I'm pulling data from an xml doc and created 4 XMLLists to hold the children of the 4 different elements. Inside the onLoad function, I created a series of for loops to go through each list. But Flash stops after going through the first two. I'm very puzzled by this. I got around it by creating a 2nd onLoad function for the last 2 lists, but should I be using a different loop? Curious.. I inserted a break after the first 2 and then the 3rd loaded up...
i am new to flash and i was wondering if there is a way to slow down for loops.Like i can set how many seconds till it goes and loops again. I have tried setInterval but didnt work.here is my code:[code]
My situation is that in the game I'm making, I have a movable turret firing duplicated bullets. I need to hittest them against a duplicated set of oncoming robots. I've tried using a for loop, but I just can't get it to work.I've attached the .FLA, and I would be grateful if anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong (ignore the values for removing the clips and the random duplication; I had to shrink the stage size to make the file size smaller!)
why this code dosent work at the same time in the timeline, and why only envent put inside the attacHMovies or duplicated Movies work, if i put them in the forr loops they don work.
I want to attach a MC dynamically so that I have 12 rows and 12 columns of _mc box on the main stage:[code]I think it can be done only with a nested loop but so far, well, my head's in a loop!
Code: var cityArray:Array = new Array(); cityArray[0] = "southland"; cityArray[1] = "otago"; cityArray[2] = "westland";
[code]....
What have I done wrong? I'm trying to give each mc it's own number based on the name position in the array etc etc - It returns 18 for all of them when I click them one at a time.
