Actionscript 3.0 :: Knowing When A Complex Object Is Completed
Sep 16, 2009
I'm trying to use the BitmapData.draw() method on a sprite which I create through my own external class, but all I was getting was white. Finally figured out that it was taking a half a second or so for the sprite to pop up on the stage, and the draw method was apparently "pixelizing" it before it was drawn.
So my question is, how does one know when a non-loaded object is "ready"? Do I need to add my own event sent from the end of the external constructor code? I don't want to modify the class just to snap a picture of it. Waiting an arbitrary amount of time with a timer seems wasteful too.
Code: Select allvar bc:BarChart = new BarChart(500, 300);
addChild(bc);}
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 300);
[Code].....

Lets say I have a customMovieClip. I sometimes draw an ellipse with customMovieClip.graphics and sometimes a rectangle. Now I want to know what was the shape ( ellipse/rect) that was created using a particular graphics object. Doing this would enable me to pinpoint what exactly to do with that customMovieClip() instance.

I saw this question a few times here and there but it never had a satisfying answer... It may be that there really is no elegant way to solve this (Polling for change in ENTER_FRAME is really bad!) but I've got to ask one last time.
I'm a Flex developer but it doesn't really matter in this case.
I would like to know when an object's global x/y was modified (or its transform's concatenated matrix's tx/ty, same thing), maybe because an indirect parent somewhere moved, etc.In particular, I have the object's gran gran gran parent which gets its scrollrect changed.

I am trying to find an object in the display list. All that is known, is the name of the class. I recursively iterate through every child in the display list to find my object's instance, and unfortunately everything was instantiated at runtime and was given a generic instance name. This videoplayer has around 300 children(ugh), and through trial and error I found my instance I need to get a hold of, instance60. Now it would be fine by using just the instance name, but the thought of it being called a different instance name would send this program into insanity.

1. How to remove rec_mc after the tween is completed?
2. How to insert a period of time in between two states?
ActionScript Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
changeRectangle();
removeRectangle();
function changeRectangle():void{
TweenLite.to(rec_mc, 5, {tint:0xFF0000, alpha:1, x:150});
} function removeRectangle():void{
removeChild(rec_mc);
}

I am working in an Articulate program that is flash based. I don't get much control over the way parts of it function, so I have added a lot of extras to it via flash movies I inserted.
There is one thing I am trying to figure out. I want to add an object that tells the LMS to mark the course complete. I don't need it to check if the score has been submitted or anything like that, by the time a student gets to this object, the test should be done. I just need a flash movie object I guess with the script that writes the completed status to the LMS.

I am not sure my title is correct.Is there any 3rd-party library on AS3.0( like STL in C++), can do this: I define my class and use its objects as associative array, for example:
class Company{
var public name;
var public logo;

Is there any 3rd-party library on AS3.0( like STL in C++) around, can do this:I define my class and use its objects as associative array, for example:
class Company{
var public name;
var public logo;
var public address;
var public telnumber;
}
And use a kind of data structure class(say, List) to store a few Company-type objects. And then, I define my own comparing and searching function on that List class(namely, override the default one); within my functions I could specify on which attribute(name, or address, or telephone number) to perform searching, and how it would be performed.

I have a dynamic input textfield and I have a scrollbar successfully scrolling the text. As soon as the textfield receives focus the scrollbar tweens into position. I would like to have the scrollbar tween in only when it is needed, which of course would be when the texfield has one more character than it can display in the viewable area. Is there some sort of event I should be listening for that would tell me that the textfield has grown past the viewable area?

One can easily remove a listener like so: circle.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, maskSquare); BUT, is it possible to remove a listener (or preferable ALL listeners) from an object WITHOUT knowing the function that the event is tied to?[code]

First shortly about how my site works: When a link is clicked it checks if something is already displayed in either the Left or Right side of the screen (the website looks like a book, so I have a left page I want to display information on and a right page). If there is already something showing it hides it and displays the new object, together with this it enables all the buttons within that object (I have separate functions to set up each object).
An example of such an EventListener would be:
pathTo.Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function():void {showText(side, object)});
What I'm trying to do is to remove all the previous set EventListeners without having to create separate functions for removing the links inside every object as well.
How do I remove all EventListeners on all objects inside another object? The only variable I want to store is the object containing everything. There are however not always EventListeners within the objects.

Say you have a class Parent, which has a property childArray:Array. In this array, we will register several instances of the class Child. Is there an easy way for a child to know which position in the array it currently has? I know I could just pass the index number into the child as I register them, but if a child were to be deleted from the array, all children past the deleted childs index would need to have their indexes updatedl. While this is of course not a huge task, I just have this feeling it should be a better and more dynamic solution.

The code runs fine, but the problem I'm having is that the text box that is suppose to go onto of my answer buttons is behind the button itself... however, if I change two lines of code around, the answer validation code doesn't pick up the which answer was clicked (it returns undefined). This is infuriating!Look for the line "//INSERT HERE." If I take the line, "var answerField:TextField = createText(answer,answerFormat,answerSprite,0,0,450);" and put it there instead, it returns the right answers (doesn't return undefined), but I can no longer see the text. I've included the createText function as well.

I have an swf, lets call it 1.swf, that has a button that calls another swf to level one. In that second swf, lets call it whatever.swf, on layer 1 it has an flv file of about 40 seconds. on layer two it has a button that has this action:
on (release) {
unloadMovie(1);
loadMovie("../swf/1.swf", 1);
}
So if that button is pushed, then it unloads whatever.swf as I need it to.
the problem is that if that button is not pressed, then when that 40 second flv finishes, it just sits there with a black stage and the button. What i need it to do is that when that 40 second flv is finished, it automatically unloads whatever.swf on level 1, again showing 1.swf on level 0.
Also, before anyone anwers, the way i did the flv is that in whatever.swf the flv was imported to the stage, i slected the "already deployed" put in the URL and then it created a flash video component which is on the stage.

I'm loading a bunch of swfs into my movie and when they are finished loading I need to change each swfs color based on my xml data. My problem is when my Event.COMPLETE fires I don't know which loader it belongs to to retrieve the correct xml. I've tried giving my loaders names but I can't seem to access the name from the Event.Complete function. My trace causes the error: Property name not found on flash.display.LoaderInfo and there is no default value. How do I access my loader name?
