Nov 26, 2008Before I instantise a class that uses a UIScrollBar component, I am using an invalidate() call as I am trying to get an Event.RENDER off a display object and it stops the UIScrollBar from displaying and when it does due to a Stage listener event it is barely functional.
I do remember that the UIScrollBar handles its display update in a weird fashion and wonder if there maybe a conflict of events here? Does the UIScrollbar component use RENDER events that this preceding call may break?. I have tried with and without the update() method in the scroller class.
Note: it works fine if don't call the invalidate() method.
I seem to be getting this error, I am assuming that this is an event handler on the component:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.

ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent : Event Doesn't Function Unless Click On Stage
Jan 2, 2010I'm trying to wrapup a slideshow for a client and the client asked for keyboardEvents in addition to buttonEvents. So I went ahead and added a stage.addEventListener and it works but only if you click on the stage first. In Flash CS4 itself when you test a movie, the problem doesn't happen but when you test it in a browser, the problem exists. Go to [URL] and see what I mean. Try the keyboard left and right arrows first. Then click on the stage and try again. How can I make it get focus on the stage on startup?

View 0 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: MovieClip Movement Triggered By Socket Event - Screen Render?
May 11, 2009I have a flash project that's implementing a simple two player game. I have added an enterFrame function to my main movie which listens for keyboard activity in order to move a cowboy gunslinger. Whenever the cowboy moves, I send a message over a socket to a server which dispatches the movement to the other connected client. This works pretty well, however, the movement messages tend to arrive in clumps which results in jumpy animation of my cowboy on my opponents screen and jumpy animation of his cowboy on my screen. To illustrate, i put a trace in my enterFrame function because I am imagining that this function will run roughly once each time my main movie renders the screen. I also put a trace statement in my function that responds to network traffic and moves the remote player's cowboy on my screen.
Here's the output:
enter frame:4
enter frame:4
enter frame:4
client movePlayer running
client movePlayer running
client movePlayer running
[Code] .....
As you can see, I'll get several messages in a row from the remote client which instruct me to move their cowboy ('client MovePlayer running') and they will all run in a row before the screen updates. I'm guessing I should be using something like updateAfterEvent but this method is only provided by Mouse, Timer, and Keyboard events.
So a few questions:
1) Can someone recommend a good approach to force a screen render each time an incoming movePlayer event arrives over the socket? It's important to note that my function for handling these events has no visibility to the original socket data event.
2) Am I right in understanding that the enterFrame function of my main movie happens once each time my movie is rendered? Is there some more accurate event to which I could attach a trace message so that I better understand the relative frequency of the render events and the socket events?
3) Does firing an updateAfterEvent call force onEnterFrame events to happen more frequently? I'm worried about destroying performance by inadvertently firing more enterFrames which would fire more socket events which would fire more enterFrames, etc., etc.
Flash :: ActionScript 3: Render Different Sprites At Different Quality On The Same Stage?
Nov 20, 2010i have the ingame sprite and it needs to be in StageQuality.LOW due to some prerformance problems, and the hud needs to be in StageQuality.HIGH... but they are in the same stage. I tried changing quality before rendering the ingame (to a big bitmapdata) but changing this property every frame is too expensive.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Event Within The Function That Handles This Event There's A Combobox Appearing
Jun 29, 2009I have some mouseclick event, and within the function that handles this event there's a combobox appearing. after the combobox appeared, I want to be directed to another listevent which is triggered when there's a change in the selection, but, I also want to pass the previous mouseclick event for there is some information in that event that I want to use within the listevent handling function.
As I understand, you cannot pass parameters along to eventhandlers, so I was wondering what is the best way to operate in this case. I've read you can make custom events, but never saw an event passed as a parameter, and was wondering if that's even possible.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Function Works On Some Objects But Not Others?
Jun 10, 2011And I don't know how to use the debugger in Actionscript. This is my code. It's in a class called GeoPiece and is being activated when a movieclip of instance GeoPiece is dragged over a movieclip of instance GeoPuzzle. lastObjOver is a place holder and is an instance of GeoPuzzle.
I want the mc from GeoPuzzle to highlight (goto frame "Over") when it is touched over and unhighlight (goto frame lock or out) when untouched. The script works perfectly - unless the GeoPuzzle piece was already locked. For some reason, it then sets itself to null and I can't figure out why.
ETA: The touchevent its responding to is a TOUCH_MOVE attached to the GeoPiece.

ActionScript 3.0 :: A Function For A Mouse Event And A Keyboard Event

ActionScript 2.0 :: Function Works, But Not When Called By Interval?

ActionScript 2.0 :: For Loop Works In Trace But Not In Function
Mar 9, 2010I have 20 players in a game and cutting and pasting lots of code except for a few numbers. I have future features that would require over 400 lines of mostly repeated code. So I learned how to use "for", and practiced with a trace command. Traced the results exactly as I thought. However when I apply it to the guts of my function, the movie breaks down. I suspect it's because the function is being called on an EnterFrame command and the for loop I wrote is being executed over and over.
This works when I hand code:
Actionscript Code:
function drill(){GUESS0 = ((guess0min * 60)*1000) + ((guess0seconds * 1000))
GUESS1 = ((guess1min * 60)*1000) + ((guess1seconds * 1000))
GUESS2 = ((guess2min * 60)*1000) + ((guess2seconds * 1000))
GUESS3 = ((guess3min * 60)*1000) + ((guess3seconds * 1000))
GUESS20 = ((guess20min * 60)*1000) + ((guess20seconds * 1000))
//and then 300 more lines of other code}
And then a button later calls this when pressing:
Actionscript Code:
my_MC.onEnterFrame = function(){_root.drill ();
//so _root.drill is continually being called, which is good, because it has all sorts of data that needs to be refreshed, but I think it's screwing with my "for" loop.}
And the following is NOT working.
Actionscript Code:
function drill(){for (i=0;i<20;i++){
"GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));";}
But when I trace it in a separate test movie, it outputs exactly what I would hope it placed in the code:
Actionscript Code:
for (i=0;i<5;i++){trace("GUESS"+i+" = ((guess"+i+"min * 60)*1000) + ((guess"+i+"seconds * 1000));");}
So at the end of the day, I guess I can trace these results in a test movie and use it to generate what I need, and cut and paste it into the project... but I thought 'for' loops were for saving time AND space. Am I using this code right? Maybe my use of "", or +, or i is misguided?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Re-setInterval Each Time Function Works?
Mar 19, 2012I have a function that draws a rectangle on the screen (see createInfoPanel())While drawing rectangle, I am adding 2 text fields on it.But as you may guess, it is adding those immediately. I want to delay adding these text fields, then I want to remove these panels after a while. The problem is, when I set an interval or timer, they won't work after I using once (I had to stop them by clearing/removing, it didn't set them again).Since my panel is being created each time image changes, I need them to work every time image changes.
So, I have 2 questions:1- How can I re-set interval each time my createInfoPanel() function works? It won't work anymore after setting and claring once. 2- You can see infoPanel.addChild(titleField); line in addInfoPanel() function. How can I work a smooth animation here? I mean, text appears slowly?
