I'm trying to load an external SWF file once my Flash timeline reaches frame 29. I've tried a number of approaches at this, but they all end with the SWF file staying there when other pages are clicked. The SWF file (home_page.swf) can also be seen flashing between pages when buttons are clicked.
As you can see from the code below my other pages are called by Mouse Events on buttons. What is the best approach at having home_page.swf load at frame 27 and not conflict with the other buttons based pages? I would like home_page.swf to disappear when another SWF is loaded
I have been tinkering with ENTER_FRAME, just not sure how to set up a variable for it to work with my other pages.
Here is an example of a MouseEvent based page that I am using...
ActionScript Code:
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var ContactPage:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact_page.swf");
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadContactPage);

I have a files that is loading and parsing a huge amount of data from a csv file and creating and plotting a graph using the data. All is well if I have the file loaded on the first frame of the movie. But if I pass in the URL by entering the file name in a text input field and clicking a button. The X and Y axis values disappear as do intermittent notes placed above the bar graph. I still see the x and y axis and it's hash marks and the bar graph (shapes) but all of the text is gone.

Lets say I am working on some basic shooting game that involves lots of moving enemies. The enemies all come from one class that extends movieclip.
I want the enemies to move 10px downwards every frame. At the moment I know of two ways of doing this:
The first is to run a single onEnterFrame function on the main timeline, this function loops through all of the enemies on the screen calling a function in the enemy class that contains "x+=10".
The second is to put the onEnterFrame function inside the constructor function of the enemy class that would then contain the "x+=10".
Both give the same result but is one less work for the computer than the other? The first has a big loop that accesses all of the enemies, the second has an "onEnterFrame" running for each of the enemies.
I have a page display people's name and when you click on a name information such as age, height, and weight are displayed. In Flash, can you create the same thing? I know with displaying data from a database you have to have dynamic text boxes set up to load the info but can you have it set up so you can load a name from a database and THEN click that name to have it load the other info?

View 1 RepliesWhen setting up a Stage3D's Context3D for rendering, is it expensive / bad practice to switch between Program3D's in an Event.ENTER_FRAME cycle?I don't have an example at hand, but I'm curious to know if there's such situations where this alternation between programs would be used and if the frame-rate would suffer considerably.

View 3 RepliesWhen my focus is inside the input text field, pressing CTRL+ENTER works but ENTER does not.Pressing Enter when my focus is anywhere BUT the input text field works just fine..My intention is to detect if ENTER key was pressed after the user fills out the field, but it seems to only work for CTRL+ENTER
ActionScript 3:
// works:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterHandler);
// ignored:
email.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterHandler);

ENTER results in charCode == 0, whereas CTRL+ENTER is charCode == 13 email was created using the Text tool and set to "Editable"

If I have an input text field on frame 1 and I enter text in it then I have a button that say sends me to frame 2. On frame 2 I have a button which sends me back to frame 1. Why when I got back to frame 1 is my text not shown?Why does an input text field go blank when leaving the frame? How can I make it so when i enter text on frame 1 and then go to frame 2 and then back to frame 1 the text i entered is still there?
View 7 RepliesI would like to redefine the information within moveHighlight once I go to another frame, and was wondering how to do this with as3. I want to leave all the if statements alone, I just need to change the variables. This code needs to be really basic, so I can't use classes or anything like that.
Code:
function moveHighlight(event:Event = null) {
if (highlightedButton == btn0) {
if (moveUp == true) {
trace("moveUp");
highlightedButton.gotoAndPlay("rest");

what I'm trying to do: I have an animation thats 173 frames long - an intro to a html based website.

View 3 RepliesSo I've about hundred of map tiles and each title has some object which does some stuff. And one of things it should do is to update text (a time after which you need to do something) in text field. How should i do it better - with enter frame event and on each enter frame update it or set up a timer object which on each second would update the text in text field?

I am trying to play a simple movie clip when the playhead gets to a frame label called "home". The moveclip is called "playRollClick". I am trying to write this in as3.
The code below is what I've come up with so far, but it doesn't seem to work.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,playRollClick);
function playRollClick(event:Event) {
rollClick_mc.play();

View 1 RepliesI just started using AS3 and I wanted to make a simple script. Basically what I have is a speech bubble with text in it, and every time the player clicks on the screen, the bubble will move horizontally onto the screen. The problem is that after the 4th or 5th time clicking, the bubble will stop entering from the right, but the text will still change. Here is my script so far:

What I noticed was that as the clicks increased, the speech bubble's x position was shifted to the left more and more each time. I don't get it, since I set the x position to 800 each time the function is run.

the code below is placed on one frame of the main timeline...it works, but apparently continually triggers the "gotoAndPlay" action over and over again. How can an ENTER_FRAME event be made to play a moive clip such as "staged_kiss_mc" only once?
The playhead on the main timeline rests in this single frame for a while; it would be great if "staged_kiss_mc" were to only play once, when the playhead first enters this frame, rather than apparently repeating continually...is there code to stop this repetition?

Im trying to use keyboard events to goto specific frames in my flash file for example i want to use the enter key to go to frame 5 and from 5 i need it to go to 15. here is my code:

case Keyboard.RIGHT:nextFrame();break;[code]....
Everything works fine except i cant re-use enter to go to frame 15.
