I have a goofy issue going on with a drag/drop scroller. When i stop dragging the following onEnterFrame will not clear/stop unless you click on the movieclip again, then it clears.
Can one of you coder minded people see anything wrong with this? It works great, but i need it to clear as it's taking up that precious memory [code]...
onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....
Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

I'm a newbie to the forum and AS3 and already searched through previous posts for the answer but couldn't find quite the right solution. I've got a simple animation, at the end of which I want to open a different URL. You can see my AS3 below (a mish mash of solutions I've found from all over). I've got it working such that the animation finishes playing and launches a browser window with the new URL, however it seems to be ignoring my "_self" statement and I can't stop the onEnterFrame from looping.

I'm programming a simple game for school, and now I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at actionscript::EnemyFighter/onEnteringFrame()
I think this is because the object that calls this function does not exist anymore (it is removed from the stage). However, I did add an event listener for this and let it remove the ENTER_FRAME event listener. Therefore, this function should not be called anymore...
I tried to give the class a variable 'exists', then setting this to 'false' in the function that is called when the object is removed from stage. Also, this onEnteringFrame function first checks whether this 'exists' variable is true before executing any code... This also didn't solve my problem...
So in the end, it seems like the ENTER_FRAME is always called before the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event. Is there anyway to turn this around?

How can one stop an onEnterFrame function?
View 5 RepliesI'm creating a complex site, with lots of calculations, while I have to keep it as light as possible. I don't want to have 50 .onEnterFrame's running simultaneously, so, how do I stop them? See example: Let's say I want a simple movement, invoked by some reason:
Code:
mcChild.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(mcChild._x < mcParent._width){
mcChild._x += 5;
}}
Now I want to stop the .onEnterFrame check, because it reached the if = false - How??
I have a movie clip on the main timeline with an instance name odometer_mc. nested in that mc there are seven movie clips, two are named m100_mc, and km1_mc. I want to get km1_mc to play when m100_mc gets to frame 20.
View 4 RepliesI used kirupas tutorial 'Complex Button RollOver/Rollout Effects' to make a menu that slides down when you roll over it. I have buttons inside that menu_mc - but they dont work.
My question is - does the on enter frame function prevent buttons from working?
Here is the code that is inside my menu_mc:
stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(rewind == true){
prevFrame();

I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.

View 1 RepliesI couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?

View 4 RepliesI created a slideshow in flash cs4 that continues to play infinitely. I am looking for a strip of coding to stop the movie on a thumbnail click, so the pictures can just be browsed through instead of playing automatically. The problem is, if I set autoplay to false, then it doesn't play at all. I want it to play automatically until someone clicks on a thumbnail.The coding needed is below.
var auto_play:Boolean = true; // true (OR) false
var auto_play_duration:Number = 6400; // 1 second equals 1000
var folder:String = "photos/";

I have a presentation which is one movie clip in one frame on the main timeline. The movie clip has quite a lengthy timeline. What I need to do is stop the movie at a frame then play on mouse click and in some cases gotoandplay, then stop again. There are no other movie clips inside the main movie clip and I want there to be no buttons. Just proceed to the next bit on mouse click.

All I want to do is stop on a frame then click on an object and progress to another frame. MX was simple to perform this, with cs4 it seems to be a mine field any sugestions.

View 5 RepliesI have a flow chart, the Flash works perfectly, no problems, however i am using the multiple screens on Powerpoint slides in a program called Articulate (a simple program to house things like this as a whole media object on a website etc).The only issue with this is that i need to add links on top of each button on the page, which link to other slides in the presentation. So not hyperlinks in the Flash code, slide-hyperlinks in Powerpoint.
The Flash code should be enough to make the shapes have hover states, but not be a 'button', if that makes any sense? The hyperlink shapes i add on afterwards in Powerpoint should be the clickable areas with the cursor turning to a hand, but the Flash code by itself should just have a hover state with the cursor staying as an arrow.
Here's the code -
var tl:MovieClip=this;
for(var i = 1; i < 30; i++){

I've got a large scrolling thumbnail gallery which is attaching mc's dynamically based on xml, php, mysql. it's working great. when you click on a thumbnail a popup (within flash, not really a popup) window comes up and will load an .flv, another image and some stats. The popup zooms in over top of the field of thumbnails and the mc containing the thumbnails drops alpha so you can focus on the popup. what I need help figuring out is a way to stop all mouse events on the mc's in that container mc (the thumbnails). right now they are still active behind the popup and they need to be inactive otherwise you can still click on them behind the popup...

View 3 RepliesI am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped. I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
Two questions;
1. Am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)?
2. If my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?
I have made a hierarchy in which there is a main page, using add element i have attached a component mxml of type group. There is a single button on main page when clicked it should add children of type group in that group type mxml component along with two buttons. Now using one of buttons i am attaching another component mxml type group. the problem is even they overlap i can still excess the children groups of first group component mxml.
