The code works fine, but every time I click Auto Format it changes the code so it doesn't work anymore, giving me all kinds of errors. I perceive this as something imperfect in the code and potentially preventing it from working as efficiently.

View 2 RepliesI found a reference to CS3 Flash's auto format breaking AS3 code on kirupa back in May 2007 but was surprised to find out that it still breaks code by removing parenthesis.Beforetruescale=Math.pow(8,(1 - i) * scaleit);Aftertruescale=Math.pow(8,1 - i * scaleit);Obviously the results are devastating. Would someone check to see if CS4 Flash's auto format still causes the same error when editing .as file? Might be worth the price of an upgrade if it does NOT mess up the format.
View 5 Repliesi made a player based on the 'Video Basics' series and would like to disable the auto play. I've only found posts dealing with stopping auto play in the XML version and I can't figure it out.
I assume that I must modify the early part of the script?
Code: Select allvar nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(10);

Also, I have issues with spaces not being added around operators even though I have that set in my preferences. I have access to Adobe's bug system but Flash is not listed, so I can't report the bug. Even their general website "Request a feature/Report a bug" form does not list Flash Pro under the list of apps.
took me like 20 minutes to get why my code is not functionning... this line: tempRef.x=(limitL-dist-tempRef.width/2)+(tempRef.width+dist)*(i+1); after auto format becomes like this: tempRef.x=limitL-dist-tempRef.width/2+tempRef.width+dist*i+1; that's not the same thing at all...may I know why this is happening?
View 2 RepliesI'm using the auto slideshow with xml that you guys demo on your site (which I love BTW) -I need it to stop at the end of the last slide and the demo is set up for it to loop -It looks I need to alter the parse command but I don't know how to do that - Is there an explanation on the site of how to alter the AS so the slide show will end after it runs once through all the images?

View 1 RepliesSomething is corrupt with my Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript Auto format: Comments within a block, such as ' // ' or block comments ' /* ... */ ' are tripping up the Auto Formattor, which returns this error: ' Error with autoformat near line: }'.

View 1 RepliesI have a very strange problem with the Auto Format feature in Flash CS4. Sometimes, when I click on Auto Format, it takes away all the spaces between operators and their keywords.

View 1 RepliesWhen using sound in flash you can also do this with loading an external sound.
my sound.load(new URLRequest("audio/mysound.wav"));
But when you load an .mp3 file the effect of the sounds keeps playing too late. So I discovered that when you save a audio file to mp3 format there is automatically with any sound editor an insert of 1/2 to 1 second of silence. So i read on the web that this does not happen when you save it to .wav formatBut when saving it to wav format i don't hear the sound in flash anymore, only when i save the wav file, with a compression of MPG,but then there is also silence added automatically. What compression technique you should use when saving it to wav format?
While coding, I wondered if a plugin exists that I could highlight a series of variable declarations, hit some special keyboard shortcut and BAM! They would appear in alphabetical order.Is there anything that does this in Flash Builder? Or FlashDevelop even?So it would go from this:
private var _value:Number;
private var _helloWorld:String;
private var _foobar:Boolean;
To this:
private var _foobar:Boolean;
private var _helloWorld:String;
private var _value:Number;
I have some code that looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + (i - 1) % 10 * 50;
It sets the x location of my level button. But this is in a for loop (that's what the 'i' is for.) I run it and everything works perfectly, as it should, not a single problem. Then I press the auto format button in the flash actionscript editor. (It's the button that adds all of the ; to the end of each line and other stuff)
Well that changes my code to this:
ActionScript Code:
level_btn.x = 50 + i - 1 % 10 * 50;
thinking it's done me a favour but it hasn't. It's got rid of the brackets so it won't do the maths functions in the correct order. I've tried adding more brackets in places and other stuff but I just don't know how to fix it. It's annoying because every time I press the auto format button I have to add the brackets in again.
I have some input text fields (by the text tool, not the component) in my form that I was wondering if they could be auto-formatted. I was looking specifically for dates & numbers. For example when the user inputs 082606 and then tabs away it would immediately update to 08/26/06, or when the user inputs 50000 it would immediately update to 50,000.
View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create a site based on flash.I have 5 frames that correspond to different links and then buttons created with functions to move to each frame using gotoAndStop. On one of those frames i'm loading an image gallery (which seems to be working); however when I click on another button to go to a new frame the images from the gallery stay.I would like for them to disappear when I go to a new frame.I think this is an easy fix but i've been stuck on it for three days.[code]
View 0 RepliesI cannot Check Syntax of AS3 (error sound, not the happy 'ding' syntax checked sound), nor does the IDE Auto Format anything, even valid code. trace("x"); does nothing (except throw the 'error in your syntax' message). There is nothing displayed in the Compiler Errors pane or in the Output pane. Document Classes fail to work and fail to fail, when they are purposely mis-coded. Class files also cannot Check Syntax or Auto Format or output anything with trace("x"). AS2 files behave normally, with all the above items working.
I had the trial version of CS5 running fine. It expired. I bought the Full Version Upgrade which worked fine. Yesterday, the as3 script environment fails to check syntax, fails to auto format and does not send any trace statements to the output window. I have removed the application & re-installed and updated, but nothing has fixed this yet. AS3 code envorinment is seriously messed up. I will update everything tonight.
I want to tear my hair out and cry! I've just upgraded to CS4 and am trying to create a simple swf that consists of a root timeline with various frames, each labelled 'home', 'bio' & 'contact'.

I'm trying to create a flash RSS reader, mostly for fun and to learn AS3 better.It's fairly small, 150x250 px, so some of the headlines will be too long. When that happens, I want to add three period marks at the end.Example:The headline is "Big hurricane might hit Monday".I want AS3 to format this to "Big hurricane ..."How can this be done?I'm thinking about adding an eventListener that count the number of letters, but how to make it add three dots after say the 20th letter and delete the rest of the text?

When you click on the top clip, which simulates the back of a card, the card turns over to reveal the image on the front.Now all this works fine in the demo movie I have constructed in order to present the problem in a simplified way for the Kirupa forum (The actual movie is a bit more involved, so I have just concentrated on the problem area.) The BIG problem I have got is that the cards are supposed to tween into a new position once they have been turned by the user & a button is pressed.What happens now is if you press the button before turning the cards the whole tween works fine. Press the button after turning the card & it will NOT work!ere is an online demo of the movie. I would have liked to include the fla, but it is showing as too large @226KBCode for first frame of movie:
