Flash :: Ide - Setting Document Property To Game

Nov 8, 2010

This marks a new chapter for me asking a question about an entirely different subject that I know nothing about I'm following a book called "Flash Games" and it's not for beginners and I'm a beginner so lots of jargon that I don't know and simple google searches don't come up with anything. What is the Flash IDE? Does this author mean the application Adobe Flash to build applications. So that means there is Flex, and Flash Catalyst, and Air IDEs? I don't really treat this like IDEs in terms of programmer but I guess I just don't know. The author says to set the document property on my file.fla to Game. How to do this?

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Setting A Flash Document's Instance Name?

Apr 20, 2011

I have a simple Flash document with a single rectangle on a stage. I've made the rectangle a symbol, a MovieClip, and set its instance name to "test_symbol_name". I've published this document to a .swf. (Here's the .fla and .swf)In an AS3 Flash Builder project I load the swf with a Loader, then trace everything on it's display list with this function:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Game Scoreboard - Setting Up A Scoring System

Apr 5, 2012

I am making my very first AS3 game, and though it's quite simple I'm having trouble setting up a scoring system. The concept of the game is simple. Objects appear on the screen, clicking the objects adds points. For this project I am working with 3 AS files, a Document class and two movieclip class files. I would also like to track how many objects have been added to the stage in addition to the score which should track how many objects have been clicked. Here is my Doc Class

ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash 8 - Setting X Property Of Dynamically Created MovieClip

Feb 28, 2007

Long time listener, first time caller here. I'm having trouble with how Flash sets the _x property of a dynamically created movieclip. If I create a rectangle on the stage using the Drawing API:

Code:
//for the purposes of this example, assign a value to i
var i:Number = 0;
//assign var squareName
var squareName:String = "square" + i;
//create an empty movieclip named [squareName] at depth 1
this.createEmptyMovieClip([squareName], 1);
[Code] .....

I'm not new to Flash by any stretch of the imagination, but I have never come up against this problem before. For context, I'm actually getting my feet wet with the Tween class, and am having trouble animating dynamically created movieclips due to this confusion with coordinates. When I tween a dynamically created clip from one set of coordinates to another, they are offset by the movieclip's _x and _y properties starting at 0, 0, rather than their actual position on stage.

Enlarge Document Property Size?

Nov 13, 2009

Is there a way wherein I can enlarge the document property size and force the contents to align to the center?  I'm new, so I probably started backwards.  I made my file with animation just how I wanted it, then realized it would look better if I put a frame around it.  But, when I enlarge the document properties to accommodate the frame, all content, including associated animations, are top flush left.  I need them middle center.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Y Property Of Textfield?

Apr 16, 2010

I was trying to create these 17 textfields in a for loop. I ended up instanciating them manually and now I am trying to set some of their properties in a for loop. The problem is that when I trace them I just see [object textfield] but not the names. If I try to trace the ".name" I get instance 1, instance 2, etc. The real problem is when I try to set the "y" property I get an error "1010 A term is undefined and has no properties"

Code:
var tf1:TextField = new TextField();
var tf2:TextField = new TextField();
var tf3:TextField = new TextField();

Flex :: TextInput - Setting Text Property Before Object?

Sep 30, 2009

I'm trying to convert an MXML component to an ActionScript Class. The component consists of a Form with a TextInput, TextArea, and two buttons - Save and Cancel, and a Validator for the TextInput, and other logic to handle events that occur. This component is currently extended by several other components. Now, in the MXML component binding the TextInput text property to a property in an Object was very easy:
<mx:TextInput text="{_itemToEdit.name}" />

But in ActionScript, I'm creating the TextInput and setting the text property before the Object is set, and the TextInput is not being updated:
public var itemToEdit:Object = {};
private var nameInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
public function MyClass() {
nameInput.text = itemToEdit.name;
}

How can I make sure that the TextInput text property is bound to the specified property in the Object?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting TextField's 'text' Property Slow?

Apr 1, 2010

Short version:Setting a TextField's 'text' property seems to be quite slow. Any way to optimize this?Long version:For a video player I'm working on, I've rewriting a bunch of code I've written in the past and optimizing where I can, and I've noticed something a bit strange.I have a time readout (the typical "00:00 / 01:00" thing) that I'm updating every frame, and it seems to be gobbling up FPS (I'm using mrdoob's great little Stats class for monitoring).The thread to make the call is a bit heavy -- involving a dispatched custom event from the FLVPlayer class (with the current netStream.time as a property) onEnterFrame, which is passed up 2 parents and then back down via a function call -- but I've isolated each step along the way and everything is totally fine (running at or close to 30fps) right up until that very last call where I set the TextField.text property, which results in about a 10fps drop.

If I comment out the setting of TextField.text it runs great, but even if I set it to something arbitrary (like currentTime.text = "0") -- bypassing the reformatting math -- it just tanks.Anyway, anyone know if there's something I can do about this? I've considered using a Timer set to 100m instead of onEnterFrame, but I actually assumed the overhead would come from the dispatching of and listening to the event as well as the reformatting of the time, but *not* the very last step of setting the .text property, which is something I can't avoid whether I use a Timer or onEnterFrame.

ActionScript 3 :: Flex - ProgressEvent's BytesLoaded Property To Document Class

Nov 1, 2009

in AS3, I have an external class ImageLoader, that loads an image upon request. In that class, I have an event handlers:

[Code]...

I am trying to send the download progress updates back to the main Document Class and display it on screen, so I am trying to dispatch the event "PROGRESS_INFO" and then get the information from the passed Event Object, like so: Document Class

[Code]...

This however, is proving futile... any ideas on how I can get the progress info out of the IMageLoader class? note: I know I can add bytesLoaded & bytesTotal to a public variable, but then I won't get the benefit of seeing the bytesLoaded property update in the ProgressEvent class.

Flex :: Setting Text Property Of A Combobox On Application Start?

Jul 20, 2011

I am using the combocheck example from the following site: [URL]

It's a very useful component and works very well.

Now, I need to set the text property of this combo box upon application startup with certain values (which are defined dynamically according to some criteria). The problem is that although I have no problem setting the text property of the combo box at other times of the application run, setting the property at startup seems to have no effect unfortunately.

For example, I want to set the text property of the combobox to "Bob" (which is one of the items in the dataprovider for the combobox) and the "set text" method is called on the combo box. Performing a step-through shows that the "set text" method is receiving the correct value item but not setting the _text property.

I have tried not doing anything until "ApplicationComplete" but no joy there either.

Here is the code (a combination of the code from the URL above and some other changes to it). However, as I've stated above, the codes does work. The problem is that it doesn't work at the application startup. Whenever an event is fired and setComboText is called as a result, the text of the combo box is set correctly.

private function onComboChecked(event:ComboCheckEvent):void {
var obj:Object=event.obj;
var index:int=selectedItems.getItemIndex(obj);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Setting Variable Property For Dynamically Created Textfield?

Dec 22, 2004

i'm creating a completely dynamic form. i want to assign a variable name to a textfield and then pass that variable with a LoadVars() object.

here's a small piece of code i can't get working:

//create movieclip (used like a form)
_root.createEmptyMovieClip( 'dialog_body', 0 );
//create textfield input

[Code].....

bottomline: if i create a textfield using the traditional method and assign the 'var' it works fine. if i create a textfield dynamically at run time, and use the *.variable property, the variable is NOT sent..

ActionScript 3.0 :: Access The Smoothing Property Of The PNG Images Within WindowHider's Timeline, From The Document Class?

Mar 20, 2010

I have a MovieClip in my library called WindowHider. The timeline for WindowHider contains a frame-by-frame animation that is made up of individual PNG images that I imported. Each of the 10 or so PNG images sits on it's own frame within WindowHider.I can successfully create an instance of WindowHider within my Document class and add it to the display list.

Question: Is it possible to access the smoothing property of the PNG images within WindowHider's timeline, from the Document class? The WindowHider class is animated and rotates, thus the pixels show and the image is jagged. I know if I could access the smoothing property it would solve the issue.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Event Handler For Button - Error #1009: Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference?

I seem to be having a recurring problem attaching events to a button i have created within 2 other movieclips.I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

So it looks like it can't find the button, in order to attach the event listener. The question is why? I am attaching a similar event to a button on the main timeline and that works fine. So it looks like a scope issue, but I am referring to it properly.

code below:
