each of six buttons need to pass a unique file name to an asp page... below is the code for the six buttons... obviously this won't work, but it give you an idea of what i need to happen...

I have a movie that uses a next and previous button. The next button works the same on every page calling a function that uses next(). The movie continues until it is told to stop. The previous button takes you directly to a specific frame in the movie. When running through and testing, if I go forward a frame and then back to the beginning and then add a frame every time, it seems to work fine. But if I go forward 3 times and back 2, or mix it up in any way, the previous button will only work once. Then after that you can go forward as much as you want, but you can only go back once. Each frame that has a previous button has a unique function.
Here is my code below:
stop();
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, Next);
Next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Next);
Previous_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Disclosure2);

So, I have tons o' buttons that each need to link to unique URLs, and I'd like to minimize coding as much as possible. The code below works, but I will have to do this about 50 times.Can I associate the URLs with the instance names of the buttons and then reuse the same function?In the event you didn't already guess, I'm a newbie to AS3
cap_mc.CapTeam_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, capPage);
function capPage (evtObj:MouseEvent) { trace("clicked") var url:String = "http://www.mydomain.com"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);

I'm trying to call a function in frame 1 of my SWF and also pass it a parameter.
I need to do this from elsewhere on the embedding HTML page using JavaScript.
For example call the function flashFunction(foo);
Does this require a listener in Flash that listens for the call, excepts "foo" and then calls the flashFunction and passes "foo" to it?
Can this be called directly without a listener?

I am designing a game/demo and in this game I displaying 10 trains with carraiges in a row. Each row has 2 radio buttons one that indicates the train is going East and one that indicates West. I have 10 examples to the left of the game, 5 facing East and 5 facing West each has different attributes as well. The user has to guess which of the ten trains in the demo are going East and which are going West using the radio buttons. (They will all be facing one direction in the game, not the examples.) The trains are loaded into flash dynamically using text files.
I wanted to know what is the best way of utilizing the radio buttons. I have never used them before. 1. Is it possible for me to set it up so that I can have a data file that contains the following but1=0&but2=1&but3=1&but4=0&.....but10=1& Pass this data file to a container that contains all the radio buttons. If radio button but1=0 then the correct choice is West and if but1=1 then the correct choice is East. When the user has selected their 10 choices, Can I have a button at the bottom that will calculate the users choice pass them to the next 'page' and list the users selections next to the correct answers and say something like 'You got 5/10!'

I want to find a way to make possible to draw on the entire browser page or a part of it using the mouse pointer. It will be just a blue line that it will be created when the button is clicked.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to write a class file using a .as file instead of writing code into the script tab of a .fla file.When I write stage.addChild(img); I get an error that stage is null. When I take out stage, and just write addChild(img); the code runs fine, but nothing appears on stage. Do I need to do something to set a stage active?
Is this because I don't have a Main class? My class is named after the file and I don't have a file named Main.Here is the code. As it is, it runs and I get the two trace outputs, but no graphic on my screen.
package { import flash.display.DisplayObject; import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.Loader; import flash.events.*; import flash.net.*; public class HelloWorldImage extends Sprite { private var background:DisplayObject, foreground:DisplayObject; private var url:String = "hw_jpg.jpg"; private var loader:Loader = new Loader( ); public function

What i want to do is change the red text which is the button to be animated for a variable which gets the name of the button in which the mouse event is taking place. This way i dont have to do a function for each button. [code]...
How to pass variables from one page to another page in ActionScript? I got some solution that this can be done using CustomEvents in ActionScript, but i couldn't found understandable and easy solution. explain how to pass variables with a small example?
View 3 RepliesI have the following code that lists 5 buttons with dynamic texts... when pressing each button a popUp_mc window will appear with some content show in dynamic text. Only one of these 5 buttons have some images that will have symbols_mc appear... in this case I just alpha this symbol to 100 only for this button, but for the rest alpha = 0. The button the I want to show the symbol is the third one. I'm a bit confused on how to show this symbol according to the following code below.

I'm loading from my main page an external js file, with a function.
I have a flash file in the main page invoking the javascript function.
Everything worked very well until when the javascript code was in the main file, but when I moved javascript to an external file the function seems not called anymore.
So... there is no way to move the javascript code to an external file ? Or any other solution ?

I am wondering if it is possible to use random file access for reading and writing data to file in Actionscipt 3.0 similar to that what is in Visual Basic?
View 1 RepliesI do understand the differance between ssas and as3. Not all, but all most everything I see written in SSAS can be writen into a external AS3 file. This leads me to quite a few questions I'm hoping you kind people can shed some light on for me.
1) What is the advantage of writing a SSAS file over an external AS3 file?
2) Can I write an .asc file in AS3 or do I have to use AS1? Please understand I'm using tuts from fmsguru.com and the books "Learning Flash Media Server" (pdf) and "Programming Flash Communication Server". I'm not a javascript programmer so nothing I do in AS1 seems to make any sence while everything I do in AS3 does. It may not seem like it to you people that are programmers, but to those of us that aren't, AS1 and AS3 are miles apart.
3) kind of off topic, but a security question. I'm not a "hacker" and don't like the jerks that are. My question is on external AS / SSAS files and swf files. When my fla is compiled into a swf does my external AS files remain external? I assume they do, but then what is the threat of the swf being decompiled? In most projects I would do I could care less if somebody had access to my fla as long as they don't have my actionscript files.
I don't know. Maybe on questions one and two I'm getting confused becasue I'm using out dated material. Again I assume that even though fms was built off of the javascript engine it should be able to read and execute my AS3 file. Other wise what was the point of the evolution of actionscript into a fully functional programming language?
I'm trying to create a unique variable and reference to it with myRewind for some button functions.
I'm trying to create this rewind+variable as the unique identifier but it just seems to be using myRewind as the variable and overwriting it.
Code:
//Setup subsection rollovers
function createRollover(myContainer, rollName) {
btnName = rollName+"_btn";
mcName = rollName+"_mc";

I hope the title of my post isn't confusing, I wasn't sure how to phrase it. [code]...
View 1 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is setup a function that shoots through a set of buttons within a subset and creates click code for these buttons.
THe three variables are the identifiers for the actual keyframe i wish to jump to, the movieclip in which i want to perform the action and the actual button to go to the right frame.
Presently the problem I'm having is that the variables aren't stored when the onRelease functions are created, so they all are just calling the LAST variables declared.
Here's a sample of the code I currently have
Code:
//function to load canvas/acrylic
function setSwatches(mySwatchCount:Number, myContainer:String)
{

i want to call a javascript function from within an embeded swf file in a html page and i'm using the ExternalInterface class. i know this function must be defined in a <script> tag in the html page. however, i want to have all my javascript code in an external file, but it doesn't work. my trial file just can't find the function, although i have my external js file linked in the header.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to send some information to a javascript function on the same html page as the swf file is in. I used the tutorial here on Kirupa but for same way it doesnt work.
ExternalInterface.call("fillForm('"+ l.x, l.y +"')");
ExternalInterface.call("fillForm", l.x, l.y);
These are the variations I tried.

I want my event listener function to throw out unique random numbers between 1 and 30. How does one do that in as3? Math.round will repeat values.?
View 2 RepliesI have a set of buttons on, and what i would like to do is change the value of a variable, depending which button you are over.i know i could do this by writing an event listener and a function for each button, but this is too time consuming.I'm sure in the old days it would have been as simple as if btnwhatever.mousedown = true then.... but now i have no idea.
View 1 Replies[URL] I needed to do clean up before the MC is gone ... so after some digging I found this event:
Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE
So I am trying to ask for some conformation here: Is this the ONLY situation that my MC will be deleted automatically by Flash? If so then I can just listen to this even and call my cleanup function when it happens...
I have an menu for user to populate it. Then when the user finish, I would like to store his Order into an XML database. I do not know how to write to XML file in Flash.
View 9 RepliesI'm tinkering around with things in AS3, and now that programming the reaction of buttons involves a bit more code, I'm trying to figure out how to kill a few redundancies.With the file I'm working with, at different points, using different objects, the user will click some specific thing to advance the main timeline one frame.Now, the way I've been doing it is, for each object, I have an addEventListener, which calls a function that only contains: MovieClip(root).nextFrame();So I've got, on every frame, unique functions that each require three additional lines of code -- I realize it's not much, and it's not a lazy thing, just an organizational, minimization thing.Since it's just that one thing, I don't see the point in making an entire AS file, so I didn't know if there was a way to make a function that could be called from any frame, from any object, rather than just have them local.
View 6 RepliesHaving done some programming in Groovy, I know you can write test code in the Groovy console. I classify this as true a scripting language as it doesn't force you to have a class definition. So I'd assume with a name like ActionScript with 'script' in it's name that, you can write a series of statements that act linearly, such as a sequence of variables assignments, their manipulation and dumping out a value.
My question is if this is possible, how do you go about doing it, in order to test some code with ActionScript3? Does the code have to exist in a package?Can the code exist on it's own? (If so, what would the name be you'd give to the source file in order to compile it from the command line?
Would you use mxmlc?
Would you use compc?
I've heard about fsch too. How about that?I also read about a command called 'asc' in R.Braunstein's AS3 Bible 2nd ed (P8), but don't even see this in the SDK bin folders.... So what's that all about? Assuming I've managed to compile this name.as file, how do I execute it and see results? Do I have to run it through a browser and the HTML template, or can I execute from a command line?
Do you have to have a class in the source to bypass this? Can the code block be placed outside a dummy class? If so, does it have to exist in a function? Or can it exist on it's own?Does it have to exist in a code blocks, by wrapping them in curly braces?
I have just started learning AS3 (2-3 weeks) and I have to say its very enjoyable!I am trying to make a function that pulls in values to save me writing 15 separate functions!I have a "street mc" which has 15 "house mc's" inside.When the user hovers over a house I want the resident to appear above the house.The house instance name is house1 and there is a mc in the library linked using the MrsRoy() class.This is my code so far:
Code:
var house1Res:MovieClip = new MrsRoy();
function resIconIn(e:MouseEvent):void{
var currentHouse = "street." + e.target.name;
var currentRes = e.target.name + "Res";

I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1006: value is not a function.

here is my file, its clean and organized as its something i whipped up for the sake of figuring this out.i found this, people say it allows you to save the xml data, which would work, if i have to delete a file i can do that, i know how to do that. the script i found to do this is below incase it helps you guys to help me.
