I have 16 tweens happening at the same time which I've done using actionscript. Its basically the same thing happening 16 times with slight changes to coordinates and mc names in each tween.
Is there a way of creating an array with a list of mc names which can just be dropped in to a template? Below in my code:

I am using a tweener class in AS3 and looking for a way to shorten this script , any suggestions?

I am working on a flash site where I want the buttons to animate on Rollover and reverse animation on Rollout. Here is the code I am using at the moment.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.prevFrame();
}
This works fine but I would like to go one further. Is there a way for me to make the Rollout animation shorter?
So if the button animation is 60 frames long can the Rollout animation occur from say frame 30 on Rollout? The play head needs to jump to frame 30 on Rollout and I have no idea how.
Of course if the playhead is only on frame 20 then on Rollout the animation will reverse from frame 20. (not from frame 30).
This way the Rollover animation will be the focus and the Rollout is...well simply a Rollout animation. Short and sharp.
I have 10 or 100 or 1000 mc's on stage that do exactly the same on an onRollOver event and on an onRollOut event, what's the easiest way of writing this ? let's assume that the mc's are called mc1 to mc100, could it be done with an array and/or for statement ? Cause I'm used to old fashioned coding, I'm used not to try to cut corners So it kind of restricts my thinking a bit at times. So, do I need to start with an onRollOver event handler for each button in order to make Flash notice the onRollOver event for each button ?
View 1 RepliesI have a dataGrid with a custom itemRenderer. Everytime I tab at least two times on the dataGrid, the cell below the one I taped gets selected. This doesn't happen if I uncomment the code in the method saveBackDataGridContent().The second problem is that if the Line is shorter than the entered text, a horizontalScrollBar will get active, although I set setStyle("horizontalScrollPolicy", "off");...
CustomRenderer.mxml:

I am trying to convert the longer code i have below into shorter codes, the codes that i have is for Actionscript 2, while i am using as2 debugger, trace(), its getting the loop, however it will not recognize that is a movieclip (button1 - button3 are 3 different movie clips that i assigned).

Right now my stage dimensions are 980 X 800 px. I need to cut or "crop out" the bottom portion of the footer because its height is too long. So I changed the stage dimensions to 980 X 600 px (and changed the corresponding dimensions in the embed tag in the index.html file to match). Doing this seems to cut out the bottom but at the same time adds space to the top and seems to distort the overall spacing. Is there a simple way to crop out the bottom of the stage (just like cropping out a section of a photo)?

View 1 RepliesSo I'm kind of an Actionscript/XML newbie, but I'll try to be as useful as I can:
I'm writing some code where I want an input text box to create a new node in my XML with that text as an xml tag.
I have a simple Flash/XML slideshow-esque presentation that uses images+audio.I want to hand it over to a client but I think managing the XML is too advanced for them.I'm thinking I might need to hand over an HTML form with some PHP to allow them to upload assets and add/delete slides. If I could make it in Flash, that would be even better. I'm thinking that if I do it in Flash, I can set an interval to keep reloading the XML in so the client can see their edits as they create a presentation.

View 3 RepliesLately i've been trying to right in external classfiles to create everything and make everything work instead of stuffing everything in my timeline. So now i have made a classfile that first creates all the movieclips i wan't on the stage and then defines what all the buttons do.
But when i want to acces a variable that has been created in "createMc" from a private function i get an error, so i have fixed this by giving the var's a name and then use getChildByName().
But i think this looks like a really innificiant way off writing something and was wondering if it was possible to write this in a better, shorter, and thus more effective way.

View 1 RepliesI have some XML I've edited in ActionScript that I would like to save locally via php. My php script (called writeFile.php) is the following:

However, no file is being created, and thus obviously nothing is being written to it.

On moving elements to a new position I want the new coordinates to be written back to the XML file.
I understand AS can read the XML file OK but not write native. A php script is required to perform the write.

View 1 RepliesI need to have one variable contain the name of another variable so I can write the actual value using either variable.
On my main timeline I have this code:
var globalvariable = "blank";
On a movieclip I have this code:
on (press) {
var testsend = name._root.globalvariable;
testsend = "IT WORKS!";
trace(_root.globalvariable);
}
I'd like the trace to read "IT WORKS!" but it's always "blank". The reason for this is that I have a controls options page where users can change their key binding for the various controls of a game. There is a list of the actions in the game with a field for the currently assigned keyboard shortcut. When they press that field, it's a button that pops up a keyboard graphic which has buttons on it for every key. Clicking one of those buttons should assign that keyboard equivalent to the corresponding field.
So I want to have something like this actually work:
Click the MoveFowards field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Moveforwards has a value of "Spacebar".
Click the Jump field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Jump has a value of "Spacebar".
Click the Shoot field and click "Spacebar" on the keyboard graphic and now _root.Shoot has a value of "Spacebar".
So I need to pass the name of the variable to the keyboard graphic so that it outputs to the correct global variable and writes its output to the correct field.
I need to write arabic numbers using TLF in Flash CS5 but it would not work!? I do not know why?
