ActionScript-3 :: Difference Between Playing Previously Created MovieClip And Event.ENTER_FRAME
Aug 1, 2011
I am creating game which involves some billiard-like balls to bounce on the screen. I created a MovieClip with only one frame which represented the ball, exported it to the class, extended it to my needs and animated it using Event.ENTER_FRAME. It works fine, but there is something that confuses me -- both, the stage and the ball have only one frame each, so I don't quite understand how Event.ENTER_FRAME works... I mean, if there are no keyframes, how is done the animation? If I used already animated MovieClip, I would have to add keyframes, right?

I am trying to use the ENTER_FRAME event with a number of dynamically created movieclips and it is not working.The swf features a series of five clock faces that the user will select by hitting the appropriate button. Each clock has five unique movieclips to that season including a second hand, a minute hand, a main character, a seasonal clock face and a back ground, again, each of these MovieClips are different on each of the five clocks. So I have a series of five listeners for each of the buttons:
spring_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startSpring, false, 0, true);
winter_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startWinter, false, 0, true);
...
then the associated functions to the mouse event looks like this.
function startSpring(){
var mBack:springback = new springback();
var mFace:springface = new springface();
var mChar:springchar = new springchar();

I want to create an endless loop, 8 items moving in a circular shape. When you roll over of each item, it will stop the moving, and you should be able to click it.
I dont know what should I use, should I use Event.ENTER_FRAME or the circular shape should be in movie clip, so that when there is a mouse over event, it will stop moving?
Oh ya, I code everything in AS3, including the movement, objects etc. Something like a new class

Lets say we have a movieclip "Enemy" in the Flash library and a class "Enemy.as" is associated with it which listens to ENTER_FRAME event as follows,
public function Enemy():void
{
//constructor of this "Enemy.as" class

When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.

I have a project where an external video plays with cue points that trigger the elements on my main timeline (captions). I have a custom mute button for the video so that the guy talking on the video can be muted if necessary (did not use a skin for video controls but set it up as a button). The problem is, when I reach the end of the video and I click a "replay" button to restart at the beginning, the timeline and video start but if the video was muted previously, the video remains muted while my button shows that it isn't. How do I get the audio to turn back on automatically when restarted, or at a minimum show that it's still muted when replaying? My replay button AS2. mcPlayer is my flv.

I was having a go at a tutorial which worked fine but then I started seeing how it would work in an external file. Object Oriented Flash. On line 27 it picks up the following error... 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Event. //function enterFrames(e:Event) I've tried this for myself but what are the function parameters I need to mimic the same motion of the bouncing ball?

Im making a movie with a menu that loads movie clips according to which menu is selected simple enough. However, the newly loaded movie clip also needs to allow the user to load another movie into the main movie effectively swapping the first movie clip with the second. This needs to be done without using the main menu.

I have a little problem while trying to get a URL on a Enter_Frame event using Flash AS3.I would like to trigger the URL request on the last frame of the movieclip.Everything works fine except that instead of getting the URL once, it keeps loading it all the time.
Result: I get hundreds of web pages opening in my browser.
Here is the code I use:
stop();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,my_function);
function my_function(e:Event):void{
var homeLink:URLRequest= new URLRequest("http://www.myurl.com");
navigateToURL(homeLink, "_self");
}

I have a slideshow that loads an image via XML, then adds said image to a placeholder inside a movie clip, and then proceeds to play a little sliding animation via the movie clip. What I need to do is figure out how to get an event that the movie clip is finished and sitting back on frame 1 so that I can run a "nextImage" function that loads the next image from the XML. I'm pretty new to actionscript, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to properly handle what should be a simple event. If I put a simple listener at the end of the movieclip, it doesn't talk to the main script at all?

I wanna apply a glow filter to a button. What I want to happen is that if for a media player the currentFrame = totalFrame i.e, if the seekBar reaches last frame, I want the next_btn to animate,...like Glow In and Glow Out.
I dont want a mouse_over / mouse_out event to handle the animation.
Possibly I think that I'll have to use a Enter_Frame event, but I cant think of a function to do so.
my glow filter is like this...
var myGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter(0xFE4110, 4, 2, 2, 4,2, false, false);

Variable called "switch" has a boolean value of "false".Event.ENTER_FRAME event listener method fires, and calls method "onEnter()".Within the "onEnter()" method, the "switch" variable is set to boolean "true".My question: What is the best way to make sure "switch" variable is called, and set, only once during the ENTER_FRAME event?
Is it as simple as checking if "switch" is false, and then setting it to true... Does it matter that I would be doing the if() for every frame of the Event.ENTER_FRAME?

I have an ENTER_FRAME event on one of my pages to create a progress bar for an audio track. It is working great, but I when I click on a button to goto the next frame, it continues to run the ENTER_FRAME event continuously. I have many audio tracks in this project and need a progress bar for each. however, once a second one starts, it really begins to bog down the player. Is there a way to stop an ENTER_FRAME event from continuing after you leave a page? Here is the code i have:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
tb_mc.scaleX = 0;

I'm working on a custom tween class. Everything work good, instead of sound volume.I'm using the following code:
Code:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.media.SoundTransform;[code]....
It seems that if I use the ENTER_FRAME event for transformation nothing happens.

I'm struggling to move from AS2 to AS3 and trying to mimic an old AS2 trick. When the playhead hits a frame on my mc's timeline with this code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("3");
the main/root/parent timeline would go to frame 3. Clean, short, simple. How can I do this in AS3?I've tried this code but it didn't work:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, proceedNow);
function proceedNow(event:Event){
//parent.nextFrame();
parent.gotoAndPlay("3");

I have a script that relies on ENTER_FRAME event to run every time. I have noticed on some slower computers there can be some lag when a flash movie is playing. Does ENTER_FRAME run on every frame, even if its on a slow computer? If the flash movie lags, does the ENTER_FRAME event still run and the rendering just try to catch up? Is running code on ENTER_FRAME a reliable way to execute code every time a frame is entered?

I've got a button that, when clicked runs a method. The method waits for a condition to be met (or rather, waits for a variable to be set in the model) and then updates the view. I did this by setting an ENTER_FRAME listener and it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
private function loadHouseRoom(e:MouseEvent):void
{
view.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loadStuff);
[Code]....
I also tried setting the addEventListener to use a weak reference, but the Event never gets fired in the first place.
Note: I have to use a method like this. I removed a bunch of code irrelevant to this question to make this more readable, but the user needs to be able to change his mind and click another button before the loadStuff function is called.

No matter where the EnterFrame event is registered, the frame would not be rendered after the EnterFrame event handler done in each frame.For example, I have two unrelated MovieClips:
Code:
oneMC.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, tick);
function tick(event:Event):void {
if (otherMC.currentFrame == 20) {
otherMC.gotoAndPlay(5);
}
}
The frame #20 of "otherMC" will never be rendered on the stage, right?

I use 2 options when i comes to animationg objects with Action Script
1. Timer based animation
PHP Code:
initTimer = new Timer(1000/fps);
initTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveItem);
[code]....
2. ENTER_FRAME event based animation
PHP Code:
var time:int = getTimer();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, moveItem);
function moveItem(event:Event){
[code]....
Both of this options work ideal for my needs and they produce smooth animation. My question is witch one is better and why? And is there more ways to animate objects with action script?

I thought when you have: removeChild(mySpriteInstance); that this removes the item from the stage...is there a different kind of removed??
