IDE :: Return Scope Stuff?
Nov 16, 2009I have a function, and inside of it is a LoadVars object to load a variable. The problem is that I need the outer function to return the results of the LoadVars' return.

View 2 RepliesI add this actionscript code on the first frame. Variables are loaded but. The question is below the code.

I have a Debug class I've written, and I'd like to include a static trace() method in there, unfortunately I have no idea how to then access global / top level trace as effectively I've blocked it with the local static scope.[code]
View 4 RepliesSo what I'm looking to do now is to actually get that movie clip - in this case an arrow -to rotate around another object - a ship - at a radius of 150 pixels and facing the mouse.This basically means to get the arrow to follow where the mouse goes around the ship - limited by the 150 pixel radius circle it can follow.p.s. This is the code so far:
ActionScript Code:
theArrow.x = theShip.x
theArrow.y = theShip.y

I have a one-frame .fla with script on one layer and a movie clip on another. The movie clip has an instance name of "titleBar," which moves from left to right using dynamic tweening.The tween code moves it from an X position of 200 to a X position of 820.Then I have a function called "xChange," which waits for titleBar's X value to be 820. Once it does, I'd eventually want to load an external swf but I'm just running a trace for now.Again, Here's the code.
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;

I've generated sample xml file:[code]This works ok. What the code is doing - its assigning each node of the xml file to one of the boxes in the fla file.My question is if we can assign to each of the node one box dynamicly? So bassicaly if i will have 5 nodes the code will -draw???- a box and putted the name of the node in the box.And so on, for each of the nodes? And if i will have 6 nodes, then it will draw 6 boxes and so on..
View 6 RepliesI know how to do stuff in flash. Ok, so here's what I want to know..on this guessing game, I want the person to enter in their 1 - 3 digit guess, the the number they need to guess is 577 (later I want to make this random whenever they go to play it). If they guess under 577, I have a box to say their guess is too low. If they guess over 577, it says their guess is too high. However, I am not sure how to make it so that what they put in the text box, it takes it as the new variable. I know this may sound confusing, but here is the .fla file.URL...
View 5 RepliesI have a specific request or a general pondering really.I know you can create a sine wave type thing with as, could you then perhaps create movie clips, letter by letter that would move along and up and down on this sine wave?could you then, instead of setting the size and scale of the sine wave have it react to the input levels of a mic.i've been hunting for something that will help for a while and have drawn a blank
View 5 RepliesI'm having some troubles with the use of interface and inheritance in AS3. I've done lots of OOP in the past and what I'm trying to do seems obvious to me, but doesn't work in AS3. The question is : Is it possible to override a function that return an Object of class A, and make it return an Object of Class B which extends A ? It seems not to be possible, since I'm getting a signature error in Flash, when compiling. For example, the following set of class do not compile (the code in function definition doesn't matter):

but this is my first time using flex, and I am kindof confused on how to remove stuff.Say I use <mx:Panel title="test panel"></mx:Panel> to add a panel, alongwith some textfields and such to create form.....now how do I remove all this entirely and create something new like a tabbed navigator?
View 1 RepliesI have a swf named home.swf on the stage of home.swf I've added a Sprite with this code
var onStage:bc_sprite = new bc_sprite();addChild(onStage);another swf called menu.swf loads home.swf into a loader which is added to a MovieClip named currentPage which is on the stage thusly.currentPage.addChild(swfLoader);
Have a little homepage, where I load some of the stuff from external swf's. But I have some buttons which is gonna be on top of the external load content, but when I export it the buttons doesn't appear anymore. Underneath I have some AS which I use to load the the external content, and to control my buttons.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler_contact);
function clickHandler_contact(event:MouseEvent):void{
if (event.target.name!=null){
switch(event.target.name) {
case "contact_back_btn": gotoAndStop("index");

I've a XMLList like:
<parent>
<one>
<child id="1" />
<child id="2" />
[Code]....
Where the _loc_1 would be "one" or "two". Is this possible with the getDefinitionByName() to do this?
I have a free text which allows the user to enter stuff. But that text box needs to be a 24bit hex string ONLY.How do I restrict this so that it only allows 24bit hex strings.
Code:
000000
.
.
FFFFFF
I've thought about creating a regular expression to parse the whole string then return a message. But what would be even better is if the thing worked at run time so that the user can never enter an invalid string.
So I've a symbol in my library with 3 things in it: textfield, and 2 movieclips (background and icon).
Should I place each item in different layer or i can place them in 1 layer? When should I place everything in separated layers and when not?

View 2 RepliesI'm writing a Flash game for a class that is supposed to test elementary kids' math skills. After each activity is completed, Flash sends the results to our database (e.g., that 8/10 math problems were answered correctly). If the user is in the middle of an activity and hits our Logout button, we'll send what results they had to the database anyway. But if the user closes out of the browser in the middle of an activity, is there a way to quickly send stuff to the database before the swf dies?
View 2 RepliesI made a random animation based on the tutorial, but my randomized movie clip is a guy i grew in a wheelchair, and i was wonderign if there was a way to like make them bounce off of eachother, and add sound to it when they hit like an "oof" or something
View 1 Replieshow to code where it should move towards (that's easy), and I know somewhat how to use math stuff on flash. But when I tried to implement it on this, it doesn't work. See code:
angleA = Math.atan2(TARGET._y-HERO._y, TARGET._x-HERO._x);
var degrees = angleA/(Math.PI/360);
BULLET._rotation = degrees;
It is correctly placed, don't worry about that.
I'm sure it's been discused before ..but I can't seem to be able to find it in the masses of photo gallery questions..So here it is;I want to load pictures/swf's etc into flash ..no problem.However, i want them to resize (proportionally) so they fit inside the movieclip holder.I'm ok with a solution where you have to state the size in XML, aslong as they fit in the movie clip.Code:
Code:
delay = 10000;
function loadXML(loaded) {

Does anyone know a method or referance link on how to SUBMIT the online edited graphic data? I'm wondering whether it's possible to get a screenshot on click to be mailed.
Id like to use a switch statement to check if a given value falls between certain values and then based on different values and then perform differently in each situation. I'm hoping i just have a syntax understanding deficit. Here's what i'm trying ...that doesn't work.
Code:

why the sound does not play in FireFox but does in Chrome & Safari?
The sound is not embeded in DW but is in the Flash. Also I want to know what is wrong with my DW script that it will not play on Apple Ipads & Iphone? The Script:

<div id="splash">
<h2 class="center">WELCOME TO<br />

View 21 RepliesI am fairly new to Flash and I am creating a simple Flash login programme in Flash. If I type in the correct password or even if I type in the wrong password it always goes to frame 3 which is "Login Failed! Username or password was wrong". I have attached .fla file. Note I created in Macromedia Flash 8.

View 1 RepliesI have recently finished a test program that uses program logic to show some output, instead of doing things manually; frame by frame. I need to output the thing to an movie file but when I do File > Export > Export Movie, it does not output the stuff that are done programmatically.
View 9 RepliesI have a class that has a couple of events after each other:
It loads an image, loads another image, fades in a player, and plays a video.
Now when the user goes to somewhere else, this instance keeps on doing all it's stuff.
Actually I never had to figure this out, and for now I can just work around it, but I just want to know how to stop it from doing stuff when I don't need it anymore.

on Flash MX 2004 having problems with loading external jpegs and stuff. I got a tutorial from here and loading from a web address on it is okay,
but I can't get my one to load from my hard drive because there is always an error with the path. I know it'll ultimately be on line anyway but I want to know what I'm doing wrong.[code] What's the correct format for putting in a file path?
