Actionscript 3.0 :: Coding Inside Vs Outside The FLA
Dec 21, 2009
I've been having to rebuild my as2 site into as3 which has difficult. Half of my revision has code is inside the FLA and half is outside. A lot of tutorials I find for advancing are outside the FLA. Is there an easy way to consider moving my code from inside the FLA to outside the FLA? As most tutorials I find online are like this. However, I don't know what I need to consider in making this swap. The package/constructor method for classes is really new to me.

I have added a button to Lee's scroller * ; to the 'content' movie clip, inside the scroller. Testing the movie, Flash recognises the mouse click -and doesn't give me any compiler errors- however, the button doesn't function. I am guessing my code isn't well enough written to get the playhead to move within the main timeline, as it is embedded in a movie clip (the content mc) within another movie clip (the scroller mc), perhaps. Using AS3, what additional code do I need to add to what I already have written?
My code for the button:
// handle events for back to menu button ...
btnbacksmilejapan.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickJapanSmiletoMenu);
function clickJapanSmiletoMenu (evtObj:MouseEvent) {
//trace shows what's happening ... in the output window
trace ("The Japan Smile back toMenu button was clicked")
// go to the Menu
gotoAndPlay("scene two jpn");
}

I have 6 MC on stage with a button on each. When clicked it plays the timeline in the MC. I want to make sure that none of the other MC are playing or 'open'. So I wrote code in each clip to close the others down, but it just seems a really lengthy way of doing it.
So I've been trying to figure it out with var/strings and some script like. btn1.onRelease play this... if there is another MC open then close it. someone point in the right direction. So I can learn... I've thought about this alot and I would use this way of coding alot. rather specifying and repeating the statement on each clip.

I'm keen to use movieclip instances instead of button instances, but I will have a lot of buttons. If I use MovieClips: Is there any way to avoid coding the rollover functions etc. for EVERY movieclip instance? - ie is there anyway to code the behaviours into the master Movieclip button (ie the way buttons have built in behaviours), rather than have to add multiple event listeners to every instance - just to get a rollover effect?

Ok Im just a little confused on what to do. In my menu I have 2 drop downs. each one is a separate Movie Clip and inside that Movie Clip they have other buttons that are separate Movie Clip. I have a class set to the buttons for a rollover action but it isn't working.How do I set actions to Movie Clips that are in other Movie Clip? Like how would I add links to them?ere is a copy of my AS3 Class and a copy of the drop down.
Actionscript Code:
package { import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.display.MovieClip; public class DropClass extends MovieClip { public function DropClass() {

I am new to Flash and AS-3.0. I am using Flash-CS3 as IDE and AS3 for programming/coding.I have created a ScrollPane component using the following sample AS3 code, which is a sample user-defined function written in ActionScript 3.0:
Code:var sp:ScrollPane = new ScrollPane();
var myClip:MovieClip;
var boxXLoc:int = 0;
var boxYLoc:int = 0;
var boxWidth:int = 140;

First, an explanation to what I am doing. I am currently building a Flash movie to go onto a CD. It will be self contained so that the audio files are not exposed for easy bit torrent sharing, and is pretty working really well until this point. have build a custom dropdown menu which is functioning (when you click on the button, the dropdown animates and brings up the new options to select from), however...I cannot seem to get the coding correct on them. I have scripted them so that if you was to click another link or dropdown, that the previous link would be closed. But the buttons within the dropdown will do nothing but look pretty, for a lack of better terms.
The downdown menus are within a movie clip for the Nav Bar, separate layers from the other buttons of course.Yet when I source the scripting to go to those buttons to call the EventListener...nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? If needed,I can make a "random" version of the layout.Demo song buttons will link to an audio page on Scene 1, but at different frames. Multimedia will also have two separate frames which hold two separate functions. I already know how to make the direct buttons (credits and the B-Side) work correctly, but the dropdown buttons will not function for me.

This code works fine for loading a pic into a created container and placed centered in a box_mc.I am trying with no luck to have the same thing repeat itself x number of time.
My idea is:

Does anyone know the actionScript to apply to custom radio buttons? I want them to function exactly like the component radio buttons available in CS3, but I can't use those because adding one makes the .swf about 30k and I have a 30k limit on all flash files.I imagine the radio button would have to be a mC with frame 1 a drawing of a button unchecked and frame 2 the button checked. Then another mC of 4 of those radio button mC's grouped together and coding to tell it that when one is clicked to unclick the others, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I haven't been able to find any info on this online since everyone just uses the component versions anymore

I've just come upon an idea, on how people could learn to write AS. Every week there would be announced projects that would have to be written in AS. There could also be levels of difficulty for different people.
After annoucing the task, for instance: "Make a dynamic slide show, that will load files from a XML file, and display them by fading-in / fading-out at some intervals". People could start writing something, and if someone would have any trouble, It could have been answered in the topic. After a week, the best working projects would be selected and added as a opensource, or mayby even converted into tutorials.
I know that my idea was allready made a hundred times, that was just an example. If the idea would pass, there could be a poll, or another topic for project ideas.
I think that it's an idea worth thinking about. I personally would participate in it, just for the challenge.
P.S: Im posting this here, because in other forums the topic could just die, w/o much people viewing it.

Why AS3 decides to stop running all scripts if something isnt right with the programming? Every time i might have a slight syntax error here or there, or a missing object, coding throughout my entire movie stops. All my stop functions cease to work, and the movie and movieclips loop continuously. This never happened in AS2. Is there anyway to prevent flash from turning off all actions because of some minuscule error?

Hi, I am brand new to Flash and I come from other development environments so I have a question about a possibility. I am aware that you can have a symbol (like a MovieClip) use a custom class to handle how it responds to the world, but I was wondering if it's possible to be able to set some values via flash without having to touch code. For example, I create a MovieClip called Crate, which has a class that lets it be destroyed, but then the designer wants to specify that certain crates have contents inside of them. Is there any way to do that in flash without having to create a new class for the crate?
In other words: the designer puts a Crate in the world and then sets a propery (for example: contents = TennisBall) and the Crate class handles the rest. Will this work? Also, am I right to understand that instances of symbols are all the exact same? So I can't have the designer create a new instance of Crate and then change it to be a little different (like draw a sticker on the Crate), but still have it be the same as all the other Crates?
I hope these questions make sense and I apologize if I asked this in the wrong forum. I'm very interested in developing games for flash, especially after the news that CS5 will let you export to the iPhone, but I'd like to keep the code away from the designer as much as possible,

To give a brief background of what's going on here.I am building a personal site where I have a navigation, and I have other subnavs inside of certain pages.Such as if I go to "work" inside of work i have "motion", "web" & "print".Here is some example code of one button on the navigation:
nav_mc.personalbtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick2);
function buttonClick2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("personal");[code]...
It seems to me that actionscript will not read all the way down to the bottom when looking for objects.For example: The first if statement where it's asking if workss_mc exists or not, that will work if it's at the top, but if I move it down to the bottom it will not work.

I have a movie clip on Scene1 called "movieclip1." Inside "movieclip1" there is a label of "fadein," which underneath the label has the movie clip fadeing in. Then I have a label called "fadeout," which has the movie clip fading out. What I want to do is get the coding or action script to make it so when I click on "portfolios_btn" (on scene1) it runs what is under my label "fadein" inside the movie clip "movieclip1."
Then, when I roll off the movie clip I want it to go and play whats under the "fadeout" label. This "movieclip1" is a drop down menu that fades in when I click on the portfolios_btn and fades out when I roll off the movieclip.

I am creating in Flash CS4 (AS3) a static fill out form for a website that I am involved in. The questionnaire helps to determine whether a person is suseptible to drug and alcohol abuse with either a postive answer (not likely to develop substance abuse) or a negative answer (likely to develop substance abuse)There are six questions on this form that MUST be answered either yes or no.I have created the form with all art and buttons and it is ready to implement in Dreamweaver but need the scripting to make work.The six YES buttons are assigned instance names of cb1, cb3, cb5, cb7, cb9 and cb11.The six NO buttons are assigned instance names of cb2, cb4, cb6, cb8, cb10 and cb12.When the participant answers all six questions either yes or no they will hit a Submit button (with an instance name of submit) that will direct them to a new web/flash page with appropriate answer.
If the participant answers TWO or more questions with YES and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with the negative answer.If the participant answers ONE YES and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with a positive answer.If the participant answers ALL NO and hit submit they will be directed to a new page/doc in the website with the same positive answer as answering with ONE YES response.I assume this is a very complex coding problem. I am a beginner/intermidiate flash person with extreme novice understanding of coding. I know what stop(); does in AS3 and understand simple clickTag coding etc.
