ActionScript 3.0 :: Script Worked Perfectly With Previous Word 'About' Which Was Changed To 'Animations'?
Nov 5, 2009
Just started learning AS, and have modified some code from a tutorial to put a couple of basic pages together. Each page apart from the loading screen consists of 4 buttons linking to 4 different pages.I have so far changed one word in the code, relating to one navigational button, and as far as I can tell, all the corresponding code, and the Properties and parameters inspectors. The error is apparently a "duplicate function definition" of all the functions in frame 2.Strange how the script worked perfectly with the previous word "About", which was changed to "Animations".The preview of the site just flicks through each page without stopping.[code]
The felx builder (on eclipse) next/previous word command, usually bound to CTRL-RIGHTARROW on OPTION-RIGHTARROW on the mac, doesn't stop for ":" and "." and in a few other cases.
I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.
I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
create the word which changing many time and in the end become a clear word like what's happend exactly in horizintal menu in [URL] That's what i wanted the changing in words like that menu?
I'm having trouble getting my inheritance variables worked out. In 'plain English', this is what I want:
base class enemy: {variable HP; if(HP<=0){remove instance}[code].....
But when I try to do this, it just gives me some error either about conflicting namespace or about the variable not being defined. I've done stuff like this before in GM and Python, but I don't understand how it's supposed to be done in AS3.
I've got a very basic fla file which actually worked on flash5 but it's no more working with flashmx 2004. A movie clip move from a position , let say A, to B, then to C.
I insert a stop(); action on B, so the movie stop. Inside the movie entitie I insert a button with the command play() (I have also try _level0.play() or nameofmovie.play())I expected that the movie continue playing from B to C but it does nothing..
Ok so If I load a list of like 2000 words from a text file into a text box like this
ActionScript Code: var url:String = "dictionaries/"aa.txt"; var loadit:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loadit.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
[Code]....
how could I randomly choose a word from the list and have it as a variable
Has anyone worked with the five3D video3D class.I have started to work with it but when I put a video on the stage and then remove it and add another video the new video is been created to the old videos width and height. Its the strangest thing and I can't seem to find the answer to why this would happen.I first thought it might be a memory issue but I have nulled all the references and its still not working correctly.
I created a new layer, draw a rectangle, converted it to button, made its alpha to 0 and then added a snippet to go to the url. But when it played, the action only worked after the first loop had finished. It didn't work at the beginning.
So I picked up a project after some time of being away from it. The text fields worked fine under CS4, but under my new windows install and with CS5 the text fields turn blank when I try to change them. Everything else seems to work. I tried embedding the font with the embed button, but that didn't do anything.The text that it starts off with is there on the screen, but when I change it with something like: tEnemyPieces.text = "blah blah blah";the field turns blank.If I trace tEnemyPieces.text it will trace as "blah blah blah". But the text will not show on the screen.
I tried to install the newsticker and it worked perfect. I still have a problem: there is no way to use the accent they just get ignore. I also tried to code them in html in the xml file but it didn't work.
This slideshow used to work fine, until you install 10.1. I run it in the Flash CS4 and CS5 IDEs and it works fine. Does the Flash CS5 IDE use the 10.1 player? If not, how can I make it?
I had a forum up a few months ago, and got help getting radio buttons to work with a continue button, causing the movie to gotoAndStop at a particular frame. (This is all being done on the main timeline).Everything was working fine, now, I keep trying to do it again, but regardless of which button I click, it only goes to frame 2 where the Novice radio button is supposed to go.I think the problem is in the line of code that reads:varframeNumber=2+Number(noviceButton.group.selectedData)I know it is set to only go to the novice area, but my understanding was that since these were radio buttons, any button clicked would work, and I only needed to type in one of the unique instance names
Here is the code: stop(); continueButton.enabled=false
my program is i can choose several movie to load and the movies are save in an array... For example: i choose movie 1 , 2 and 3. Movie 1 was loaded. After i lick 'next 'button, movie 2 will be show .Beside that,if i click 'previous' button, movie 1 will be show. i facing a problem that my previous button is not back to my previous loaded movie but is trace my choices in arrays backward. The next problem is, my first movie load to the second movie load will be a bit lagging. but the rest 1 is ok.
In Flex3, I could compile pure as3 code and use "embed" tags to load in images. This was done by Flex making a BitmapAsset class.I can still do this in Flex4.
However, there was a trick to fakeout flex3 and use my own mx.core.BitmapAsset class to remove some of the extraneous stuff Flex's BitmapAsset brings in with it. This is described here: [URL]..Unfortunately, I cannot get these tricks to work with Flex4 and get smaller file sizes. I end up with the error "VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.core::BitmapAsset could not be found."[URL]..Following this advice, I add -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true, and my swf loads without an error... but this means I am loading in the pieces of the flex framework I wanted to omit (and the file size says so too).
Is there a better way to fake out flex4 when it comes to using Embed?
system to browse offline howeverthis doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. Whenyou highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull upthe word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a webbrowser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there atadobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??How can you remove the corequick linking from the program.Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to updateAS2 code.
I have various movies clip within a movie and my back (mc = arr2_mc) and next (mc = arr1_mc) buttons are on the main scene.This is on my main scene on a first frame
when it goes back, it goes back frame by frame without stopping but I want it to go only to previous Scene. instead of going to previous frame.Do i have to create a unique button? which i did but i didn't work?
1: I have a pie chart which takes values from xml and as per the xml data draw pie chart.
2: I need to add images to some or all pie slices.
3: If I am going clockwise direction and I have reached slice number 3 ,then the image to be added to that slice have similar orientation to that pie slice.
4: I have loaded the pie images and made its bitmaps and then added it to some array say pieBitmapArr.
5: Now I need to add this bitmaps to individual pies.
6: Further the overall dimension of pie image and pie drawn doesn't match.
7: And when I use addChild method to individual slice ,all the picture arrange themselves at the top left i.e. 0,0 position of the stage.
8: I want the image to exaclty fit on pie drawn but I am not able to do it.
9: Further I have used slice.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bitmapData) but also it doesn't yield anything,just blank pie.
After making changes to a perfectly working fla it won't publish correctly,meaning:1. When previewing all the components jump (as usually happens when there isa compile error) but no error is displayed in the log.In this case when used with the whole project, the project doesn't load,even though the corrupted fla is not the first loaded (non of the fla loadsbesides the preloader).2. When previewing and running with the whole project the labels on thebutton components disappear, but only the ones that are dynamically changedby an external as file.*there are other similar bugs as well like unable to enter the table in thegame etc.The changes I make before it happens:- changing the size of a shape inside a movie clip.- changing the size of a movie clip.- changing anything in an already existing code (like changing the size of afont).- adding new basic code anywhere (like trace code).
- changing button skins.Basically, any change I make corrupts the file but not consistently,meaning, I can make the same change twice and the file will break only one of thetimes, or, I can make several changes until it breaks.It also happens on every computer but also, not consistently, I can work fora while, making the same change, deleting, making the change again etc, onlyon the fifth or sixth time the file will break. On a different computer itcan take only two or three times.The corrupted file start working again after I change the name of the foldercontaining my project or move all the files to a different folder anywhereon my computer. After a short while the file crushes again.
a content editor made with Flex SDK 3.5 a content viewer made with Flex SDK 4.1
Both need to work with dynamically loaded fonts as the user can use the fonts he wants.
So we used this approach:
convert the font files with Flash Professional to SWF-files (Creating a Font SWF) editor: load the fonts with Loader (Loading a SWF font) the fonts can then be perfectly used within the application to generate htmlText viewer: the same approach to load the fonts + register them with Font.registerFont (Flex 4 Embed font from swf)
Now the problems: although the loaded fonts are listed when you trace Font.enumerateFonts(false), they are not used in the textarea. There the text is shown with the default font.
Maybe the problem is the fonts are loaded as embedAsCFF for the Text Layout Framework, and that way are not usable in an mx.controls.TextArea? But as I can not change that to a spark TextArea for multiple reasons, I need a solution to use the loaded fonts in that mx.controls.TextArea.
I am unable to play flv from xml though the xml loads perfectly fine. When flv path is hardcoded the video plays fine but when from a node it seems to make the video disappear and it dosent play.I am having the same issue i got the xml loaded and even the url into the video source but it dosen't seems to play the video when reading from xml...
Flash Player 10.1 published with creative new features including filters & effects, text, native device interactions, support for multitouch, gestures, mobile input models, accelerometer input and periodic timer, etc. Among them all, the introduction of periodic timer is the most innovative and significant one. This new feature functions as a double-edged sword which, on one hand, can lower CPU utilization and save battery life, on the other, it may cause troubles for some SWF converters to capture the flash content under such extremely low frame rate.
I have a project that uses video for a chat application, I can get it to work in the flex emulator but when I deploy it to the device the button that initiates the video doesn't change and video never starts. My devices all have 2 cameras except my computer but specifiying Camera.getCamera([1]) didn't change anything except mess up my emulator and cause a NullPointerException. Camera.getCamera([0]) works just the same as not having the ID. I have tried messing with different values quality and nothing makes a difference
private function publishVideo():void{ _publishingVideo = true; _ns = new NetStream(_nc);
I was wondering how "relative alignment" such as on the easybit-site (take the window and resize it) is done? All objects on the stage are positioned always relative to the actual window-size without losing quality, but how???
I created a xml driven menu that works perfectly on a html page but would like to use it in a flash site. I loaded the the external menu movie in by using the:loadMovie(); reference but when I try to point the movie link from the menu to the empty movieclip it wont work. below is the code for the button action:[code]
I have a simple sendAndLoad XML request that works perfectly on 95% of the computers I have used. I have check crosssite stuff and everything i can think of. Its not browser specific ,os specific, or flash version specific. On these computers I can run the same flash file on a standalone player and everything works flawlessly but inside of any browser it makes the request for the XML file and stops right there. After a while like 10 minutes flash gets tired of waiting and returns not found. I can navigate to the xml file via the same browser. Upgrading Flash doesn't help.The only thing consistent is it only happens to windows computers. The requested URL is the complete URL. I have changed this and still the same.IE or Firefox still the same. Version 9 player in both. I have montiored network traffic and see the request made and maybe a response but flash has moved.
I'm working with a video in Flash where I am capturing each frame and testing the color of a single pixel. I'm using it to determine when a white/transparent background changes to be a color. The following AS2 code works flawlessly when I preview it in Flash and on my desktop in the browser (the direct SWF and placed inside HTML using SWFObject) but as soon as I upload it to my server it fails and produces "FFFFFF" continuously regardless.
this.onEnterFrame = function()[code]..........
There is no difference in the files; they are both pulling from the same video source (hosted on an Flash FLV server).The only difference is one set of files is hosted on my local computer and the other is hosted on my web server.
I have a movieclip that will rotate by 10 right if the right button is pressed, or 10 left if the left button is pressed.Now, some genius tell me why the right button code works perfectly, but when i press left it doesnt rotate. It moves left, but no rotation to be found .heres the code
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) { xspeed -= power;[code].....
Am creating a two page document in flash cs4. Each of these 2 page documents have links to a learning resource on a web server.All I want is for the user to be able to navigate to and fro this two page document. Infact, I want to be able to click on a NEXT button to go the the nextpage and PREVIOUS PAGE button to go back to the previous page.
