View 6 RepliesToday I came across this question and I now have a sudden urge to find & complete similar challenges for ActionScript 3.Are there any resources specifically targeting AS3 which offer a level of complexity similar to the above? It'd be great to start really pushing the limits of my ActionScript skills.
View 3 Replies[URL] Theres the example to work with....anyway....as you can see, im loading in movies externally...each on its OWN different level....what i want to do is make it so that when i click a menu option on the left, the current swf loaded on the stage closes and the new one comes up (to avoid the clutter of 10 differnt windows all scattered).....here are my thoughts:
1. have variables on the root timeline that are basically "currentLoaded" and "currentLevel" -- which basically will store the name of the currently loaded swf and the level that its on.
2. each swf would have code on frame one that would see if the 'currentLoaded' varible is blank, and if not...it will close the current loaded swf ....
my dilemma is that i dont know how to change the level dynamically...i know you could do the instance name like this:

I have XML file with data and I am loading this to text filed. How can check the length of values (like value1, value2)? And The text field has to accept only 20 chars from each value. If it's more than 20 chars then it should remove (delete) 21, 22 chars.

I have a text input field. When I press on it I'd like something to happen. But it doesn't seem like I can target the input field like this.
myTextInputFieldName.onPress = function {

I tried putting it inside another movieclip (which I can target), but then the text input cursor goes away and I can no longer access the input text box. I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't figure it out.
I'm trying to target a dynamic text box for a slideshow that is located in an attached movieclip.This is the array:var slideShow = ["slide1", "slide2", "slide3", "slide4"]; Each slide is a movie clip that is loaded with attachMovie(). These movies each have a dynamic textbox named "slideDescription". How would I be able to target that text box and get it to change the desciption each time I move to the next slide in the array?

I received an AS file from an outside source and I want to understand the what MovieClip(root) is doing? I know there is a movieClip on the stage called "field" and with in it a dynamic text field called "txt" and that this text field is being tied into a css class. But I don't quite get the MovieClip(root) part.Is this just a way of saying that the text field you are targeting is on the main time line? [code]
View 9 RepliesI have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}

I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
I need for my little project know a way to do following things:

- Get ASCII code for character
- Convert number which contains ASCII code to character
I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.

I have figured out how to randomly load and fade in poems from text files. Only, after trying to add additional functionality, namely, an index from which visitors may choose a poem to load, I have run into problems. To put it simply, I can't figure out how to modify the code he provided to load text onto lvl0 so far. Here's some sample code I placed on the first button, which is an mc inside an mc (and that mc is placed on the stage, which is a separate swf loaded on an upper level by lvl0):
Code:
on (release){
var poem = new LoadVars();
poem.onLoad = function(ok) {

Here's the url for the files [URL] Main.swf is the main site, which provides a button labeled "INDEX". PoemIndex.fla is the source for the swf loaded when the user clicks the INDEX button. "mcButtons" holds all the buttons for each individual poem (wish I didn't have to hard code all of it), and I've also provided "poem1.txt", for testing purposes.
I have called main.swf into a container in index.swf.
myMCL.loadClip("main.swf","container"); is an action on my Index.fla timeline.
I have my navigation on index. (i wanted it to go on main, but the nature of the animation meant it had to go on index)
I need to call "home.swf" into "main.swf" from the navigation button in Index.swf.
When I had the navigation on "main.swf" this was my code to call "home.swf" into the page.

Preloader_mc.gotoAndStop("home");
}
("home") is the label name where the preloader is for home.swf

The string representing the function name will be read from xml @ run time.
var combo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
combo.labelFunction = "functionName";
So the first name, which is to be displayed in the combo box, can be only retrieved by accessing another DTO, called person and then its first name.
