I'm fighting against a strange behaviour with my actionscript After setting the four integer variables from the MovieTimer sprite (hour, minute, second, mili-sec) and concate them i got always double zero: 00
[Code]...
For example, on the previous scene i have 4 objects, you have to drag one of them into an area and will go to the next scene once dropped. Depending on which object was dropped, a specific number will show up for it. How do i assign these objects the numbers and how do i output these number into this text box?

I know that there is no such function as getElementByName in Flex but I also now that you can do this["object_id"] to get the element of the application u're in.What about getting an element inside another element?I've tried making element["id"] ? But in my try-catch it always runs the "catch" part..how do I get an element inside another element just having it's id in dynamically created string form?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a web banner campaign, which as you probably know involves strict file size limits -- an extra 1 or 2k here or there can mean the difference between an ad being accepted or rejected by publishers. What I've been finding is that that files published from Flash CS4 are about 10% bigger than the exact same documents published via Flash CS3. Is this a documented bug with Flash CS4? Is it just not ready for primetime, as far as producing banners goes? I'm using AS 2.0, targeting Flash Player 8; I've deselected the option to include XMP metadata, and checked the Compress Movie checkbox. Using the new (slightly awkward) Motion Tweens or using the old-style Classic Tweens doesn't seem to make a difference.
One interesting tidbit: I'm using TweenLite and one easing class, which should add around 5k to my file. However, in CS4, the size report says that I've got 17k of ActionScript classes included. What's weird about that is that if I comment out the import statements, size report now says I have 5k of ActionScript 2.0 classes - but my file size doesn't drop by a corresponding amount (it only decreases by about 5k). Very odd.
I've scripted a connection to PHP that gets data from MYSQL and outputs that into a datagrid.When I encrypt the swf with Ameyata SWF Encrypt 5.0, and upload it to my webhost, it looks fine. I can click the header of the datagrid (that sorts the data), but when I click on a field of the datagrid, it just freezes and my datagrid is not usable. I'd have to reload the page in order to do something with the datagrid again. But the problem with the field remains.It works when I'm not encrypting the swf.URL...
View 2 RepliesI'm creating a swf that will go on a web page. It involves a circle which is divided into several portions, each of which must link to a different site. I've created the circle and a simple animation that will serve as the hover state for each of the segments, now all I need to do is get the appropriate links implemented. I know how to add a link to text in Flash, but is there an easy way to add one to another element such as a movie clip?
View 6 RepliesI have flash where there is a link for song download. And, at the bottom of the flash I've a count, loaded thorugh flash vars which should increment everytime donload button is hit. Please let me know what approach should i take to do that. can i call a Java method on donload button which will insert a row in the table and and then get the count and render it to the count variable in my flash?
May be this extremely confusing. Here is a very similar example on how it is done. This is actually very similar to what i want to do. [URL] on this link there is count below which increments you hit the download button.
I am trying to use POST in Flash (ActionScript 2), to POST values to PHP mail script.I tried the PHP mail script with HTML form, and it worked perfectly fine.But when I POST from flash and input non-English characters, I get "????" in the mail.I tried utf8_encode($_POST["name"])Edit:I also tried utf8_decode($_POST["name"]), it didn't work.Update: (So you wont have to go through all the comments)I checked the variables in Flash,the values are stored correctly.The HTML page where the Flash is embedded is UTF-8 encoded.I watched the POST headers with FireBug, the POST itself is already messed up, showing "????" instead of the real value.The the messed up "????" value, is currently url-encoded by flash, and decoded by PHP, resulting in $_POST["name"] == "???";I suspect its the sendAndLoad method that creates the mess.Update:Here is the flash code:
System.useCodepage = true;
send_btn.onRelease = function() {
my_vars = new LoadVars();

I have two text boxes as outputs: "textDisplay1" & "textDisplay2".When I click the button "test" these outputs display a number between 0 and 1. That is what I want and I am happy with that.[code]The problem I am having is, I do not want the same number in both boxes. If textDisplay1 displays the number 0, I want textDisplay2 to display the number 1. I do not want both boxes to have either a 0 at the same time or a 1 at the same time.[code]But that just makes it randomly guess a number again which sometimes is the same number.Can I make it if textDisplay1 = 1, make 1 unpickable by textDisplay2? Which would only leave the 0.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a calculator that takes a number that is input and then runs it through a formula and outputs it.
Elements:
Input1_txt
Input2_txt
RadioButton1
RadioButton2
Output1_txt
Output2_txt
Output3_txt
Output4_txt
Submit_btn
What I am trying to do is:
part 1. Take the input number of Input1_txt and if RadioButton1 is selected then divide Input1_txt by 2.20462262 but if RadioButton2 is selected then just take the number in Input_txt.
part 2. The outcome of part 1 to be multiplied by (100 minus Input2_txt) then divided by 100.
part 3. When Submit_btn is pressed outputs:
Output1_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2, then multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output2_txt = The answer of part 2 multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output3_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output4_txt = The answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)

I've built a rather robust tooltip class recently that attaches and draws a single tooltip sprite to the root, then uses MOUSE_OVER to detect when it is over a tooltippable object, and shows the appropriate tooltip text. At the moment, I'm ensuring that any elements in my application which wants to take advantage of showing tooltips implement the ITooltippable interface, and expose a public getter, get tooltip().

Basically I have 14 text boxes, each box draws its content from an external txt file. Next to each text box is a button. I want the button to be either visible=true or visible=false depending on weather or not the text box has content or is "undefined" Here is what I have so far, and it's not working:[code] I would like a FOR loop to just run through the variables and check to see if any of them are undefined. if it is, then make the correct send button invisible.
View 8 RepliesAccording to the pixel bender specs a shader can have one or more outputs. The pixel bender toolkit, whose "export to flash" option tends to be preety strict about the flash specific do's and dont's, would even compile such a shader without complaints.
However actionscript's shader related classes seem to be geared toward single output shaders. Is there any way to have multiple shader outputs in flash?
i have a problem with the flash textFormat. I want to write an editor, which only outputs bold (<b>) and italic (<i>) tags and not the other information flash adds to an htmlText.
for example in this case the output trace (myTextField.htmlText) should be exactly the input.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
myTextField.htmlText = "huhuh <b>asjdja</b> asdasd";
trace (myTextField.htmlText);
is there a cleaner solution than replace the other information (font-size etc)
I've been having some trouble with tweens. Here's a description of my usage:
I have a system where a textbox is the child of a movieclip. When you click the "Next" button, the movieclip fades to 0-alpha and upon completion, the text in the textbox is changed (to the next index in an array) and it tweens back in to 100-alpha. This makes a nice transition through the text.
My issue is that sometimes it doesn't tween back in, only out, leaving the user with an empty box where text should be.
However, I'd asked this question previously with the thought that it was "Timing out". Now, after significant testing I realised that it only happens if I click or select some of the text on the text box. Could it have something to do with this text selection intefering with the changeText function below... (it's the same text box, just the text changes).
CODE:
function changeClick(e:MouseEvent):void {
if (e.currentTarget==btnRight) {
newDirect="right";
} else {

I need to get the position (x,y) of the last char in a textField with html text inside. I try with numlines and getLineMetrics, but that only work for non-html text. If I have a text like

I need to have the position on the stage of the last "t".
I'm looking to add an element to this function to make my text fade. On (release) of my 'biog' button this function starts. But also I need my text on the page to fade from 100 to 0 on release, before this function begins. I've tried applying code that I have but can't get it to wrk. Not sure how these functions work exactly and no matter how much reading I do I can't get this right.

this.onEnterFrame=function() {

_root.container1.SUB._x += -30;

View 1 RepliesSo let's begin. I want to build a wheel which you can spin, similar to a roulette wheel. You can do this both ways (CW and CCW, this issue causing the bug, actually). The wheel has some acceleration to it too, and I achieve this by measuring the start and final angle of the drag movement, using Math.atan2(dy, dx). The problem is the following: atan2 outputs the following angle scheme, assuming the point relative to which the math is done is in the center of the circle.
atan2 returns a value measured in radians, so I'm using the classic angle*180/Math.PI formula. I've changed this original scheme into the following, using some simple math to shift the angles a bit, to resemble more accurate circle angles (going up to 360 degrees) The problem that I'm facing at the moment is should the user decide he wants to swipe clockwise, and moves through the right point, where 0 turns into 360 or 180 turns into -180, the whole angle difference thing is capsized. It registers a CCW movement (as if the user swiped his mouse all around the circle). So, I'm looking for some ideas as to how I can work around this small issue.
when I create an element with this method :
